Re: Matt Yglesias: Creating Jobs by Cutting Wages
Well, some people say they're not actually Paul's letters.
But in any case, you were overstating what most people said which wasn't that Paul's newsletters negate the positive aspects of Paul, but...

Re: Matt Yglesias: Creating Jobs by Cutting Wages
They're deficient, by definition, in very specific areas if they are correctly diagnosed. They're not morally inferior, but it's very difficult for me to see how one can claim both that 1) someone's...

Re: Matt Yglesias: Creating Jobs by Cutting Wages
I am not on a team. I don't believe we can carve people up and pretend that the parts of them we don't like don't exist. Others differ. That's fine.
As for "technical". Yes. I was being technical...

Re: Matt Yglesias: Creating Jobs by Cutting Wages
Well, the methods are not at all unusual for social science. But then Sheldon Cooper likes to say "social science is mainly hokum" so YMMV.
As to the above, I have trouble getting either. When you...

Re: Matt Yglesias: Creating Jobs by Cutting Wages
I don't see how deficient isn't a value judgment. It's at least an evaluative statement. Different would be a non-evaluative statement. One can note that some people have brown eyes and some have...

Weren't you just upset with me for inferring that you were claiming that the liberal version, described by Haidt, was deficient? I am honestly trying to figure out how the above isn't what I inferred...
