@StrangelEdweird I often wonder if there is a “conservation of angry energy” principle in human society. As if some portion of us is always begging “can you please just tell me who I’m allowed to hate?” And it’s worse, of course, because anger tends to multiply anger rather than expurge it

In 2016, Charles Mills gave the Dewey Lecture at the American Philosophical Association, Central Division. He requested that I introduce him. I don't know why he did that, but it remains for me the professional honor of which I'm most proud.
In my view, a lot of young men are simply clueless in the sexual domain, but they genuinely don't mean harm. They just have no idea what women actually like and often spend more time competing with other men than being sensitive and listening to the needs of their partner.

I could go on (e.g., contribution margin vs gross margin, etc.), but I'll leave it at that. This is the financial equivalent of medical malpractice. Amazing that regulatory practice is such that companies can get away with this nonsense without any blowback from @SECGov.

4/ This is apparently for "Spend & Save" customers. Who knows how representative these customers are of the entire customer base.
8/10
2/ Their actual 2020 gross margin is 39%, but they use a 71% "long-term" GM. Huh!
3/ No discount rate mentioned so you can bet they didn't do any discounting, which means any sane discount rate and LTV falls by by 50%+ (https://t.co/FUg8knHWOo).

This makes $PTON, with its somewhat ridiculed > 13-year E(lifetime) look like a walk in the park.

1/ E(lifetime): check out footnotes. They assume a 5.6% annual churn rate in Y1, 2.4% / year after that, capped at 25 years. Easy enough to do out that math (Excel file here: https://t.co/NKJJlKkVSz) - that implies a whopping * 18.4-year average lifetime*.

But a very quick look at the offending investor presentation (https://t.co/MPkbZdhYsb) and it is clear that the answer is not only yes, but that it is actually a lot worse.

They even play up that they are "EBITDAM positive in 2021," when even Adjusted EBITDA (which probably has issues) is projected to be < -100%.

Yes, companies with good retention will see marketing go down. But to suggest that it is extraordinary and should be "backed out" is ridiculous. Esp when, at Aspiration, marketing is > 100% of revenue, expected to continue for at least 2 years *under their own projections.*

"Oppression" is one of those words that has lost meaning. It is subjective in nature so it is easy to apply it to all kinds of things in a hierarchical fashion. Today it seems to mean a lack of obtaining what one wants, not a lack of freedom.

@pm_marshall I'm not a Cobain fan, but he was a marvelous song writer.

@EPoe187 My overall favorite was Stone Temple Pilots, partly because of Plush, but also because some of their later work was quite Beatlesque.
@EPoe187 I'm so disappointed in your followers. Nirvana? Really? That's the guy? Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, or Lane Staley had way more talent, although less popularity. I always thought as people got older they would let go of their attachment to Nirvana. I can admit I was wrong 😄

Look, I think we need to have a more nuanced conversation about this topic that is win-win for all genders and also leaves room for growth potential for all genders to learn and grow and become a better lover.
@sbkaufman 1/2) Most people, regardless of gender, simply have no idea what they’re doing sexually — or even romantically — for years. Most people learn through making mistakes, or others’ mistakes, and private communication about those issues. We have to distinguish malice from “being 20”.
@sbkaufman Men (not just young ones) try to woo women by believing women (and everyone else) finds the same thing attractive. That is the only explanation for the shirtless bathroom selfies and car photos. They are completely myopic.

“Doing the work” is the superior solution, but for some, it’s a long wait for a train that never comes.
While “taking the hit” is non-constructive, “doing the work” is sometimes just code for being gaslit. Not always, but often enough that it can condition our response.

@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn And I should say, inflammatory in both directions, since its underlying premise — if I’m right about what you think here — is that the American electorate contains a huge amount of anti-black racism that Democrats have to tread carefully around.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn But since Democrats do need to attract those voters, and the party is already coded as “racially liberal” (to put it politely), directly addressing black concerns over racism ends up alienating the “50-year-old white people” who say are in the driver’s seat of American politics.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn So this makes me think that the reason people keep saying your point is banal is that you’re not actually stating your point.
As I read you, you’re saying something like “Democrats are undermining themselves by making ‘attitudes about black people’ a salient political concern.”

Messy public drama forces you to cut ties quickly? Maybe fair.

@glukianoff @StrangelEdweird yes. Eliade and Jünger et al have written about this. Anger sublimated through human sacrifice provides temporary appeasement. The only new thing is the velocity of the sacrifices, and that they’re less bloody now. We’ve evolved in many ways, but the core programming remains.
When satisfying an urge for justice just so happens to satisfy other urges too, it's probably a good idea to pause and make sure justice is really what you got—or what you were after—at all.

Many Americans have never experienced how the idealistic politics of a radical revolution are cravenly exploited by the shittiest members of society—falsely denouncing neighbors for personal advantage, say—and thus politics here remains naive in its credulity of accusers.

COVID Update: Vaccines wane because they’re supposed to.
Millions won’t access the vaccine & billions can’t. That’s a bigger problem.
Report from talking to 3 scientists about what we’ve recently learned and what it means. 1/
The vaccines durability— lessening effectiveness by 6%/month— is new information.
Vaccines wane for very appropriate reasons as @KatherineJWu reminds me. If they didn’t, imagine our blood viscous with antibodies. 5/
In 2021 we learned a lot about the vaccine that we didn’t know going in. These are very good vaccines but subject to the same properties as others.
Against a slower spreading COVID, they would have performed better. But Delta threw a curve.
What we know… 4/
A powerful variant upended 2021 & falling short of our vaccination goals in 2021 could preview the same challenge for 2022. 3/

There probably needs to be some rule which says you shouldn’t be able to have more news stories about a protest than there are protesters. 5/
It is a vital right to protest. To quit a job with rules you don’t like. To peacefully protest. To hold up a sign with a poorly drawn needle with a red line through it.
Express your rights & your religion safely. Just let other people enjoy theirs. /end
If you think some government tyrant is relishing at taking away your freedom, trust me on this: they don’t like this any more than you do. You’re not that much of a pleasure. It’s no one’s idea of fun trying to talk you into adult behavior. 18/
And I guess you could call a pandemic a difficult time. A time when people do what they have to, not what they want to. 17/
Some have an unhealthy obsession— and misconception— of freedom. God didn’t actually grant you freedom. Someone fought for it. Your ancestors. Soldiers. Freedom fighters. Suffragettes.
In other words someone who sacrificed in difficult times. 16/
Safety is neither political nor is it to be confused with religion. They are the right of societies to keep people safe. 15/
Medicare makes rules like this all the time. It’s the job of Medicare to make rules like this.
Don’t like those rules, don’t participate in the Medicare program. 14/
The logic is straightforward as someone who used to run the Medicare program will tell you. Find someone who has and here’s what they will say:
If you’re going to take care of older people who we pay for, you have to follow rules that prevent them from getting infected. 13/
That hospitals and nursing homes and doctors that want to get paid by Medicare must have a fully vaccinated workforce.
This too will be challenged by legal minds, some as sharp even as Rudy Giuliani. 12/
No one in NY is telling nurses they need to be vaccinated. They’re saying they can’t nurse other people without being vaccinated.
That will lead to the implementation of something the president announced last month. 11/
Your religion doesn’t allow you to violate laws or put people at risk. And just because 100 people say as much and a nut job lawyer wants to be famous by taking the case doesn’t make it so. 10/
There’s no constitutional protection guaranteeing your right to show your religion by putting others at risk.
Want a religious exemption not to say the Pledge of Allegience? Sure. But want a religious exemption to keep kids from school working in the field? No. 9/
Unless you’re a member of the First Church of Holy Vaccinations, I don’t think anyone much cares what your religion is. 8/
Governor Hochul in New York says no. Your religion is your business. But it has nothing to do with whether you can show up to work infectious. 7/
Medical freedom is the cause.
Well, not quite “cause” exactly. Maybe “table.” Or “gathering.” “Minion.” How about “cache.” Maybe “clique.”
The idea is that it’s ok to be “free” to treat sick people in hospitals without being vaccinated. For religious reasons. 6/
Now today health care workers in New York State are having a protest calling for “medical freedom.”
Well, about 100 people are having a protest. 4/
The US military, at one point 50% vaccinated, is now at 90%.
Most NCAA teams are now between 85% & 100%. The NFL 94%.
A slew of early companies who put in requirements are now at 90%. 3/
The story is told over & over.
Hospitals in Texas and Oregon had protests & lawsuits from staff when they announced vaccine requirements early this year.
Yet a much larger a number became vaccinated. 2/
COVID Update: When vaccine requirements are announced, whether in the military, a company, or a hospital, there is attention paid to the often dozen(s) who protest.
Less attention is paid to the thousands who get vaccinated. 1/
Now many who refuse the vaccine in the US have watched the country slowly become a global hot spot.
The other places in the globe are hot less by choice than the vaccine supply hasn’t caught up with them. 21/
If we face our challenges & adapt to emerging truths, scientists believe we have a chance to turn the corner.
It’s not the virus that haunts us now. It’s almost entirely the human response. Fix that and the suffering will subside more quickly. /end
Whether in the US or abroad, viruses that find places to replicate find places to mutate.
If the immune response is low because of prior or current illness, the replication process is unchecked. More chance for mutation. 23/
Vaccine production is scaled. COVAX and the US and the IMF have all stepped up to create enough doses. India will be exporting again in October.
Now we need an effort to go from airports to arms in the next 6 months in developing countries. 22/
We don’t really have time to dwell on past errors.
Take a minute to acknowledge that neither the science nor the scientist are perfect. Then move on. 20/
How about “We were wrong in February. We didn’t take the 6 months needed to study boosters so we guessed. And we were wrong. Now we know better.”
People may follow new scientific advice better with a drop of humility from those who give it. 19/
My view is that scientists are part of the problem because in their minds, they are never wrong & have never been wrong. It’s just “how science works” or “what we knew at the time.”
In a distrusting culture I put a premium on straight talk & this often sounds like an excuse. 18/
The many who won’t are sadly, slowly, inefficiently and often dangerously acquiring some immunity by getting infected.
Some deploy this as a strategy as they mock the scientists who advise against this as being constantly wrong. 17/
Of course one reason people need more protection from a third shot is the many who will get no protection from a first.
In that sense it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Vaccines only work as well as how many people use them. 16/
Sanjay and I put forward a suggestion for people who find themselves stuck by advice that differs from earlier advice.
“Last January Dr Fauci said x. Now he said y.”
Two potential conclusions. Maybe consider the other one besides Dr Fauci being a moron. 15/
As I discuss with @drsanjaygupta on @inthebubblepod today, some people get resentful that we learned something new about the vaccine. They get stuck. Feel lied to. Believe the communication is too confusing. That scientists don’t know what they’re taking about. 14/ https://t.co/pJd6Pj2dVF
If in 2020 we wanted to test how the immune response would improve if we waited 6 months between shots, it would have taken us … another 6 months. 13/ https://t.co/rMvkWQj4d9

We also learned that vaccine doses are best spread out longer than the initial 3-4 weeks. Six months acts as a great reminder to our bodies of what this virus looks like.
Some are frustrated that we are learning things like this as we go. Maybe think about it like this…12/
Of course this is why vaccinated people can also occasionally spread the virus through the nose, particularly as the vaccine wanes. 11/
What we know about the vaccines is like many they don’t prevent cold like symptoms except after the initial vaccine antibody response. There’s no vaccine for the common cold.
But the vaccines do prevent the virus from taking hold in the lungs where the damage is greater. 10/
2) how the virus behaves itself. Those that take a reasonably long time to attack us can be defeated without so much as a sniffle. But a quicker attack like the one from Delta means our slower trigger can allow for nasal infection before being pushed back. 9/
There are 2 factors to consider here.
1) This happens in a well-functioning immune system. Add a condition which weakens our immune system or simply age the immune system & the response is worse. 8/
The antibody response is supposed to wane. One way to think about it is seeing the response recede and hide out in our cells— with a memory of the illness (b cells) & killers (t cells) in our cells & bone marrow.
The whole thing is pretty clever & elegant. 7/
The cycle— We get sick w something. We get an immune response. We produce antibodies. Those antibodies provide our quickest response to the virus.
Imagine if each time we get sick we add antibodies to our blood & they never subsided. 6/
