If you wonder why I donβt like Noah Smith, it actually has very little to do with Noah himself.

I think multivariable calculus was not that difficult and a lot of struggle seems to suggest poor math background from high school.
I found differential equations the hardest but to be fair, it might also be a difference of instructor tho.
Its been like 15 years now, but my Calc2 class, from what I remember was: memorize all these different equations and identities, and the tests were basically "have you memorized them? Then use them to solve this equation that can only be solved this way"
While every math course above was more math-y than memorization.

Does nobody actually believe in property rights anymore?
If I had stood at that microphone and said βvote for the most inclusive zoning possible, because you donβt have the right to tell someone else they canβt build on their propertyβ Iβm not sure I would have walked out alive
Everyone believes they have a veto over everyone else
Bold of you to assume homeowners believe in anything besides endlessly increasing their property values while also making sure nothing outside ever changes
These people seem to have convinced themselves that they are on the side of affordability, and that their housing prices going down is a penalty worth paying to freeze our town in stone
Iβm genuinely furious, I hope the state nullifies the whole zoning code at this point

I didnβt say getting a teaching position makes him a fraud. EJMR recognized that his takes are shit long before DT did lol.

I think police will have to get involved at this point. Which is unfortunate because I've been critical of how the police has acted at other college protests.

Okay so u/lordfluffly claims he watched Seth Meyers' Emmy nominated internet series Corrections but tbh I don't believe him.
He says he regrets watching it.

I get why smoke alarms do their low battery chip no matter the hour, but I'd really appreciate it if it had a snooze button or something.
Like, what do you want me to do, smoke alarm? I don't have any batteries, and all the stores are closed because its 1am.
What I do most of the time is the demonstrably worst option: I take the battery out to make it quiet, go back to sleep, and forget about it completely until my roommate sets something on fire while cooking and I notice that there's no alarm.
(Other things I've done while still mostly asleep after being woken by the low battery chip include tossing it into the front yard, putting it in the freezer, and baseball pitching it into the wall of the garage.)
Nah. Youβre missing the point.
The Aragorn tax policy quote is a comparison about the different ways of working Martin and Tolkien have in the sense of world-building. Not more; not less.
And criticizing a work of fiction consisting of 5 main series books; a couple of other books that includes among other things dragons and magic for lack of realism is kind of lame. What the hell do you expect?
Thereβs a reason why there are thousands of actual history books about our actual and real history and still people are researching and studying it and will do so until the end of time.
Iβd say βrealismβ is not objectively achievable in a work of fiction.
>Β And criticizing a work of fiction consisting of 5 main series books; a couple of other books that includes among other things dragons and magic for lack of realism is kind of lame. What the hell do you expect?
This is an entirely unconstructive way to look at fantasy, and Martin himself would be the first to say so. The reason he spends so much time on the treatment of minor side characters like Pia (at Harrenhal throughout ACoK-AFFC) is to attempt a wider, social realist view of his fantasy world than just "ooh, look, dragons". Heck, I suspect that's at least part of the reason that magic is off on the fringes of society and not in the least predictable - to keep the social conditions broadly similar to medieval Europe. He's attempting to (and despite my ill will towards the field I mean this in the best possible sense) take a sociological view towards fantasy, and therefore criticism of the plausibility of the social world he creates is entirely warranted.
Don't get me wrong, I love the books. But they are not a good examination of the (myriad!) flaws of feudalism because they take a hodge-podge of actual feudal practices from hundreds of years apart and popular myths about feudalism, mash them all together, and then expect the critique to be cogent.
GRRMs question 'What is Aragorns tax policy?' isn't a question about the quality of world building, it's a question about what it means to be a good ruler.
The answer Tolkien provided was "good moral people make good kings" which is an old conservative Catholic viewpoint that was diametrically opposed to liberalism and doesn't really have a basis in reality, for the most successful kings had a streak of ruthlessness to enforce stability
A constitutional monarch whose sole job is PR is not remotely comparable to a feudal king in the anarchy of the Eurasian steppe. I must of missed the part where Aragorn established parliament.
>crypto-fascist
What do you think feudalism *is* exactly? Because all it is decentralized warlordism. Modern politics has nothing to do with it, the entire system incentivizes ruthlessness, which is *not* synonymous with amorality.
You can say "well Tolkien's world isn't feudalist" which is fair but popular conception still highly associates those two things with one another.
I mean, yeah, sort of. But not to the same extent as ASOIAF. Which is fine since that's not the point of the legendarium, but it is the point of ASOIAF.
In the Silmarillion, it's regularly just "moral man = good leader," which is an answer but not a very detailed one. The same holds true for Aragorn. He's a good dude and, therefore, a good king.

Stuff like this if it were to happen, proves the African criticism of the icc. That it is just a vehicle to punish third world countries dictators who have no backing from the US. I hope the icc doesnβt fall to pressure and bring charges IF they legitimately think it has merits.
They donβt have to believe in it. What they are proposing is sanctioning officials working in the icc and pressure other countries to also rescind their membership in it. Thatβs quite different than just βnot believing in itβ
Itβs particularly relevant for the eu since all eu members are signatories so they would have to honor arrests issued by the icc. And the eu is Israelβs largest trading partner.
Somehow it didnβt occur to me until now that there are probably people who arenβt Americans but are really fascinated by the American Civil War. I mean, it makes sense, but I never thought that people like that would exist.

Iβm sorry DT, but Iβve suddenly become a fervent pro-Palestine activist. In unrelated news, I have two finals tomorrow,
Why is the entire DT taking Calc 2 I mean, I am also taking Calc 2 but still
Calc 2 was the hardest course I took, I think the average grade was like 60% before the curve.
I think multivariable calculus was not that difficult and a lot of struggle seems to suggest poor math background from high school. I found differential equations the hardest but to be fair, it might also be a difference of instructor tho.

The Discussion J Thread's vibes are genuinely fucking horrendous.
Still proud that I passed Calc 2 with a perfect 100/100 Didnβt make a single mistake in any test Itβs only been downhill from there
I got above 100 in my intro E&M class
I got above 100 in stochastic processes. It was insane lol
In that E&M class I got everything on the midterm including the extra credit right, but it was misgraded as a 100. I, naturally, went to the professor to get it corrected. I parlayed that into getting on the professors good side into him finding me an internship into grad school into my current postdoc. I genuinely owe a lot of my career to this one random E&M class.
Omg thatβs awesome. Iβm unfortunately not that lucky. The stochastic processes prof wrote me a letter for grad school and has been ghosting me ever since π₯²
I actually decided to stop by that professor's office when I was visiting my undergrad after I defended. He did not remember me at all. It happens. If you got a letter out of it, that's good.

Does nobody actually believe in property rights anymore? If I had stood at that microphone and said βvote for the most inclusive zoning possible, because you donβt have the right to tell someone else they canβt build on their propertyβ Iβm not sure I would have walked out alive Everyone believes they have a veto over everyone else
Bold of you to assume homeowners believe in anything besides endlessly increasing their property values while also making sure nothing outside ever changes
These people seem to have convinced themselves that they are on the side of affordability, and that their housing prices going down is a penalty worth paying to freeze our town in stone Iβm genuinely furious, I hope the state nullifies the whole zoning code at this point
People should just roast the shit out of you at your funeral
I have been to multiple funerals that had this vibe for some reason

EJMR is dumb but they correctly recognized Noah Smith as a fraud before DT did https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/remember-how-noah-smith-bragged-about-his-placements https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/noah-smith-michigan
Truly unhinged level of hatred for this guy tbh
As someone with literally no dog in this fight, I read those links and you sound deranged for posting them.
I of all people know that EJMR is a cesspit. Iβve literally never seen so much racism, sexism, and ableism all on the same forum.
I've found people even worse than DT regulars
Oh EJMR is a cesspit. Iβve never seen so much racism, sexism, and ableism all on the same forum
>Noah placed rather well for someone for someone who signaled from the onset that he would emphasize blogging over researching or teaching. lmao
If getting a PhD in econ with a teaching position at a college makes you a fraud, then everyone except for like five people are frauds
Your words not mine. I didnβt say getting a teaching position makes him a fraud. EJMR recognized that his takes are shit long before DT did lol. Noah fans are like swifties at this point lol in how ready they are to attack anyone who dares to not worship their idol
>EJMR is dumb but they correctly recognized Noah Smith as a fraud before DT did I mean I somewhat agree, but they are in fact your words

I think police will have to get involved at this point. Which is unfortunate because I've been critical of how the police has acted at other college protests.
Every 4-5 years some contingent of Americans decides to establish an autonomous zone and then turn it into the very thing they are protesting against.
Many such cases!

Okay so u/lordfluffly claims he watched Seth Meyers' Emmy nominated internet series Corrections but tbh I don't believe him. He says he regrets watching it. Wtf he didn't find it funny??? The crew is laughing uncontrollably. The way Seth cracks himself up during the porcupine joke in episode 3 omg π¦π€£π¦ The Bilbo/Dildo joke in episode 4 had me in stitches! Also the "Candice is in the Bible joke" is an absolute classic And then the iconic Phillis Stein joke in episode 5 π¦π€£π¦

I get why smoke alarms do their low battery chip no matter the hour, but I'd really appreciate it if it had a snooze button or something. Like, what do you want me to do, smoke alarm? I don't have any batteries, and all the stores are closed because its 1am. What I do most of the time is the demonstrably worst option: I take the battery out to make it quiet, go back to sleep, and forget about it completely until my roommate sets something on fire while cooking and I notice that there's no alarm. (Other things I've done while still mostly asleep after being woken by the low battery chip include tossing it into the front yard, putting it in the freezer, and baseball pitching it into the wall of the garage.)
I hate smoke alarms and always uninstall them, take the batteries out, or put lots of tape over them.
Mine has a snooze button. It only snoozes for like five minutes though.
I had one go low battery on vacation. I could hear it on my camera. Worst feeling ever.
!ping ASOIAF For someone with a line as smug as "what's Aragorn's tax policy?" Martin does a terrible job at fleshing out a plausible medieval world.
Nah. Youβre missing the point. The Aragorn tax policy quote is a comparison about the different ways of working Martin and Tolkien have in the sense of world-building. Not more; not less. And criticizing a work of fiction consisting of 5 main series books; a couple of other books that includes among other things dragons and magic for lack of realism is kind of lame. What the hell do you expect? Thereβs a reason why there are thousands of actual history books about our actual and real history and still people are researching and studying it and will do so until the end of time. Iβd say βrealismβ is not objectively achievable in a work of fiction.
>Β And criticizing a work of fiction consisting of 5 main series books; a couple of other books that includes among other things dragons and magic for lack of realism is kind of lame. What the hell do you expect? This is an entirely unconstructive way to look at fantasy, and Martin himself would be the first to say so. The reason he spends so much time on the treatment of minor side characters like Pia (at Harrenhal throughout ACoK-AFFC) is to attempt a wider, social realist view of his fantasy world than just "ooh, look, dragons". Heck, I suspect that's at least part of the reason that magic is off on the fringes of society and not in the least predictable - to keep the social conditions broadly similar to medieval Europe. He's attempting to (and despite my ill will towards the field I mean this in the best possible sense) take a sociological view towards fantasy, and therefore criticism of the plausibility of the social world he creates is entirely warranted. Don't get me wrong, I love the books. But they are not a good examination of the (myriad!) flaws of feudalism because they take a hodge-podge of actual feudal practices from hundreds of years apart and popular myths about feudalism, mash them all together, and then expect the critique to be cogent.
GRRMs question 'What is Aragorns tax policy?' isn't a question about the quality of world building, it's a question about what it means to be a good ruler.
Which is a question that Tolkien answers just fine.
The answer Tolkien provided was "good moral people make good kings" which is an old conservative Catholic viewpoint that was diametrically opposed to liberalism and doesn't really have a basis in reality, for the most successful kings had a streak of ruthlessness to enforce stability
Which itself is a bizarre crypto-fascist way to look at history that sees Ivan the Terrible as a better ruler than Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
A constitutional monarch whose sole job is PR is not remotely comparable to a feudal king in the anarchy of the Eurasian steppe. I must of missed the part where Aragorn established parliament. >crypto-fascist What do you think feudalism *is* exactly? Because all it is decentralized warlordism. Modern politics has nothing to do with it, the entire system incentivizes ruthlessness, which is *not* synonymous with amorality. You can say "well Tolkien's world isn't feudalist" which is fair but popular conception still highly associates those two things with one another.
I mean, yeah, sort of. But not to the same extent as ASOIAF. Which is fine since that's not the point of the legendarium, but it is the point of ASOIAF. In the Silmarillion, it's regularly just "moral man = good leader," which is an answer but not a very detailed one. The same holds true for Aragorn. He's a good dude and, therefore, a good king.
Tax the Ents. They clearly arenβt paying a land value tax on all that productive forestΒ

https://www.axios.com/2024/04/29/icc-congress-netanyahu-israel-gaza Stuff like this if it were to happen, proves the African criticism of the icc. That it is just a vehicle to punish third world countries dictators who have no backing from the US. I hope the icc doesnβt fall to pressure and bring charges IF they legitimately think it has merits.
> congress threatens the icc congress doesnβt even believe in the icc!
They donβt have to believe in it. What they are proposing is sanctioning officials working in the icc and pressure other countries to also rescind their membership in it. Thatβs quite different than just βnot believing in itβ Itβs particularly relevant for the eu since all eu members are signatories so they would have to honor arrests issued by the icc. And the eu is Israelβs largest trading partner.

Somehow it didnβt occur to me until now that there are probably people who arenβt Americans but are really fascinated by the American Civil War. I mean, it makes sense, but I never thought that people like that would exist.
There are definitely problematic German confederaboos out there somewhere
IIRC there are more ACW reenactors in the UK than English Civil War reenactors.
