Imagine a talented Chinese director who made an epic, awesome Chinese adaption of MOBY DICK, even though he didn't speak or read a word of English. He based his adaptation entirely on Chinese translations. Who wants to say that director is an EXPERT on Melville's text?

Not QTing because I don't want to start any beef, but: This isn't true, and by the standards that Wilson takes for granted, Nolan is in fact a dilettante. And the ugliness is in refusing to acknowledge the decades of concentrated study it takes to achieve genuine academic expertise in a text.

This is the crucial point that Starmer knows, and it's been the key to his impressive political successes.

Scott Witte

Tom, suburban, college educated women are scared of “boys in girls sports”. Not arguing it, but that’s what polling shows. Same with runaway DEI and open borders. Again, not gonna argue, that’s just what reality is. If Dems stick to those things, independents and mod Rs are lost, again.

I don't work at an R1, but otherwise: yeah, this is me. Translation is for after I'm promoted to full professor.

And folks may not realize that even profs who have both the expertise to take on this kind of translation project and are otherwise installed in an R1 Uni. may not get much, if any research “credit” for producing such translations. Even w/in depts/fields, it isn’t rewarded.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

This post is a good occasion to remember that welfare does not vary directly with money. Are 73% of people irrational? Nope. The just really, really need that £50,000.

YouGov

If you had a choice between instantly receiving £50,000 or a 50% chance to win £1m, which would you pick? £50,000: 73% 50/50 chance of winning £1m: 21% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

Okay, but what are his views on Metternich?

I’ve long since given up on ethics in my times op ed writing, but this feels like an inadequate disclosure when interviewing a government official you’ve been close friends with for 30 years
