I've read some of Good Economics for Hard Times, which bridges the gap between the median voter and economists. When asked to rank professionals by how much they trusted them, most people put economists in second-to-last place, beating only politicians. Why do you think this is?
How would they defend against the White Walkers? How would Geograpy determine the battle? Who would be on the front lines and why?
I agree with many of the conclusions of feminism:
Gender inequalities/inequities are a detriment to society.
Gender roles are generally onerous and unhealthy.
Gender shouldn't be the basis for judging a person's character or utility.
However, I am deeply skeptical of Social Constructionism as a theory of knowledge. My view aligns more with Moderate Innatism: I've found that people are more than products of their environment. This puts me at odds with most Academic Feminism, which relies heavily on social constructionism. So I have to ask, why is feminism so tied to Social Constructionism?
I was surprised there isn't a post of this kind already. Books are a great way to ground yourself when everything is moving so fast. To get the classics out of the way:
Two Treatises of Government by John Locke
The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch by Immanuel Kant
On Liberty by J.S. Mill
