Words Poorly Used #128 — Due Process
I want to rush this one onto the web before POTUS infects too many people. He has complained that the two White House staffers who resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct did not get “due process.”
For Preventing Abuse, Public Schools Are Not a Good Model for Homeschooling
Horrific crimes and violent acts tug at our collective heartstrings. When other humans are harmed, we rightfully feel empathy and anger. We should use these moments as opportunities for reflection and conversation, but we should be careful to not make policy based on emotion.

Are Incestuous Relationships Criminal?
Daughter who was adopted away sought her parents, and later started a sexual relationship with her biological father, got married, had a baby. Was a crime committed?
Simple Self-Defense Moves You Can Master
Ever wondered how you would react in case of a sudden unforeseeable physical attack? If you and your loved ones were to face sudden and unstoppable harm, would you be able to stand in its way?

The more dynamically ambiguous it identifies itself as a victim, the richer and more entrenched in the fabric of society it gets.
Free Time, Tax Code Definitions, & Sexual Harassment Economics (26m) – Editor’s Break 040
Editor’s Break 040 has Skyler giving his commentary on the following topics: how to stop thinking or worrying about work during your non-work hours, how the tax code defines most people out of tax obligations, why “complex” is actually “simple”, the economics behind sexual harassment in the workplace, why sheep are smarter than people, and more.
Economics, Bigotry, and Sexuality
It might seem distasteful, but we predominantly hurt women by punishing sexual harassment. Our society tolerates this because women generally dislike women who use their sexuality to get benefits when it isn’t themselves.
Occam and the Deep State
I suggest here another kind of razor — one which takes into account the likelihoods. If A has the power to do B, and B is desired by A, then why wouldn’t A do B? If B is the most likely outcome of A’s observable drive to power, then what mare’s nest can explain not-B?
