    Per some of the scholarly arguments in the piece, I'm not convinced this was Mill's conscious intention. But it's certainly been the effect of his somewhat unstable blend of Romantic individualism with semi-utilitarian empiricism.

    Nice piece by on Mill. TLDR: the problem with "harm" analysis is that tends to reduce genuine disagreements about justice into a pseudo-empirical branch of medicine.

    Decisions about whether to publish controversial works would be less significant if our copyright laws weren't an asset-protection policy for several generations of authors' heirs.

    My wife insists that my strong preference for “Washington” over “DC” is formal and old fashioned. Does this ruling support or refute her?

    Washington should be used in most story references to the U.S. capital because of the name recognition globally. Use Washington, D.C., with the added abbreviation only if the city might be confused with the state. Do not use D.C. standing alone other than in quotations.

    Almost everything is better if you spend more. The trick is to find the point of diminishing returns.

    What, in your opinion, is worth spending more money on to get the best?

    I have no opinion about the song at issue, which I've never heard and never thought about. But I'm strike by the (probably accurate) assumption that sports donors are the university's most important constituency.

    Dear amateur poll analysts of this website: the split on impeachment is effectively 50/50, as it has been for months. Fluctuations of a few percent and differences in sample composition are noise.

    This seems like a promising bill that offers something to a lot of factions while avoiding ideological pigeonholes. For that reason, I predict it will go nowhere!

    To understand what happened to Labour, imagine what the House of Representatives would look like if the California Independence Party won all the CA seats and the Acela Party won the Northeast Corridor suburbs.

    Lots of takes on populism, not enough on the consequences of multiparty competition with single-member FPPT constituencies.
