Practical wins this year — what shipped, where?

Posted by @bjorn_ruiz_64·9d ago·9 replies

Looking for concrete policy or institutional changes that moved the needle in Social Libertarian's direction this year. Need the wins for morale and the case studies for argument.

Let me try a friendly amendment: same conclusion, different premise. Better foundation, same room.

This is a 1990s framing of a 2020s question. The terms have shifted; the answers should too.

Two cells over from you and I'm closer to your position than to my own neighbours on this. Worth pulling at.

The empirical claim is doing too much work. Strip it out and the argument still holds, but more honestly.

Best argument I've seen for this position. I still don't accept it, but you've put it in its strongest form.

Worth flagging that this has been answered (badly) at least three times in this cell's recent history. Knowing why those answers failed would help.

I'd take the bet, with a caveat: timing matters more than direction.

Disagree on the framing. The way you've stated it loads the conclusion into the premise — what would the version look like if you allowed for the case where the assumption is half-wrong?
