Good fisking & constructive replacement of the idea of 'roundaboutness' in capital theory. Even though I think they can go further. ↓ https://t.co/LgxNclt1g2 https://t.co/7yI5eVRuWQ
Thread of the best papers and books I read in 2020, roughly in order.

Good, concise statement of an important point: https://t.co/tVaVBTDVwk
Nice essay on Popper's open society. Bare proceduralism isn't enough to hold together a community; a functional open society is "itself a substantive tradition". https://t.co/pkGddGVdIz pic.twitter.com/7CZLZd4dWw

I enjoyed last year's "The Gig Economy" better, but this still lives up to the idea of Lovecraftian cosmic horror better than anything the actual Lovecraft ever wrote. https://t.co/8cSIyuZ6lk
The internet is an ocean that we invent as we explore it. In the murky darkness of virtual places, there could be dragons, shoggoths, leviathans...

This is an index of my threads. Start here, with my most ambitious work to date:https://t.co/xd38LvvCxJ
Interesting case study of the W.E.I.R.D.ification of a south pacific tribe and how the Protestant converts, unlike the Catholic ones, fundamentally change their relationship to ritual. https://t.co/vYTgufbrU1
A framework for thinking about when you're looking at group-selected adaptations, and by extension, what counts as "really" rational at any given level (gene, individual, group, etc). https://t.co/vmAUtEd8YV
Didn't realize the movie was coming out when I picked it up. Lots of interesting ideas, e.g. on infohazards and institutional evolution. https://t.co/gauakeiBJC
The Bene Gesserit have an applied science of the cultivation and exploitation of infohazards, both at the individual and the cultural levels. #Dune https://t.co/oXv3hiyIMj pic.twitter.com/0GUWcWyiIl

Talks about human morality as a negotiation between evolved dominance and submission strategies. https://t.co/ANwOc9paA7
New paper with @hiltonroot in Ordo: "The Feudal Origins of the Western Legal Tradition", with some informal game theory on how feudalism as a smashing together of Roman and Germanic legal systems paved the way for strong-but-limited states. https://t.co/JHibLQZ69S pic.twitter.com/JzN5jvUuxB

A good warning not to casually mix classical and evolutionary game theory, as many cultural-evolutionary models do. https://t.co/7S2XCqS9eG
This is how you criticize neoclassical econ right: sympathetically, and without just going "BuT iT's CoMpLeX". Ok—so what do we do with that? https://t.co/jQ6Ov7zgQy
I wish SFI had hewed closer to this ethos! https://t.co/lcAEeyODos
Thread on Heiner (1983). While I'm not sold on its thesis, it's the *kind* of paper I love: laying out a straightforward principle and then applying it in surprising ways to far-flung arenas. https://t.co/6BhQy61SpS pic.twitter.com/QnU0CRSVHq

Similar to his earlier v good paper, emphasizing the reliability problem in signals, but with lots more connections to other lits, e.g. animal signaling. https://t.co/jiSB0RC9wg https://t.co/GaahKU8RxT

We can take comfort, though, in knowing that the chapter #AdamSmith says is about colonies is, in fact, about colonies. (IV.vii) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
Colonies were a vexed subject when #AdamSmith was writing, and they’re even more complicated now. So, before we even get to the tweeting, here’s a link to that thread on Smith and “savage nations.” (IV.vii) #WealthOfTweets
We have to pause now, because we have to have a whole new tweet thread on #AdamSmith and \u201csavage nations,\u201d because he\u2019s going to keep using this kind of phrase, so we need to talk about it. #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

The reason for the ancient Greeks and Romans to settle colonies was straightforward: they didn’t have enough space for their growing populations. Their colonies were treated as “emancipated children”—connected but independent. (IV.vii.a.2) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
(Both these things are in contrast to the European colonies, as we'll see.) (IV.vii.a.2) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
Ancient Greeks and Romans needed more space because the land was owned by an increasingly small number of citizens and farming and nearly all trades and arts were performed by slaves. It was hard for a poor freeman to improve his life. (IV.vii.a.3) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
