  • Yes and no. While not a natural science, the study of humans making choices in a resource limited envrionment is a study that does work in examining how policy decisions affect human outcomes. The analysis should hopefully enable making better policy. Ideally we’d be less intellectually lazy than saying, “broken thing better than other broken thing”, but here we are.

    Maybe it is more akin to health analysts interpeting how the rules of the game affect injuries, and then, hopefully, offer ways to reduce TBIs. The better outcome would be to not play a game that leads to concussions, but… fuck (waves hand generally)




  • Maybe it’s because these generations of which I’m a part are struggling financially and will likely end up in the gutter due to crumbling support systems or because we’re staring down the double barrel of the imminent repercussions of ignoring climate change and the reinforcing systemic barriers to overcome it, but I just learned that “dust bowl chic” (and consent, already known) really does it for me.
