oh my god the way they teased out a causal effect lmaoooooo "we exploit idiosyncratic variation in the extent of gender balance in fathers’ workplaces. Fathers who encounter more women in their relevant age–occupation–group at work are more likely to divorce."

the marginal divorce induced by exposure to more women than expected in the workplace probably selects for a particular type of divorce/divorcee that is not representative of the full range of divorces

Women choose courtship, men pick wives. Women are conservative with who they date, men are conservative with who they marry. Women are picky when it comes to sex, men are picky when it comes to commitment. To be a wife you have to be selected. We need Fathers to teach this.

Gee, wonder if the idiosyncratic method of identifying divorced dads (implicitly using their infidelity, or at least wondering eyes) might have some effect on child outcomes?

So in other words, guys in stereotypical male jobs tend to stay married more. Interesting, but the possibility that female colleagu es are the causation is 0.

Reminds me of an Ezra Klein–Matt Yglesias podcast back in the day about the platinum coin Ezra: "Now, I don't know how many dimes are in a trillion dollars, but..." Matt: "It's 10 trillion dimes" Ezra: "Fuck you"

I'm continually surprised by how rare mental arithmetic skill is among technical people. It's about as hard to learn as riding a bike (ie not hard) and it puts first principles thinking on warp drive. With daily practice you can quickly get faster results than using a calculator

ILA president Harold Daggett thinks you should have to wait in lines at toll booths so that unionized workers can be employed to collect the tolls. Great find from

This dude is singlehandedly sending support for unions back to the Reagan-era

I bet my mortgage Bryan Johnson will live to at least 200. Not because he spends $2,000,000/year biohacking his body. But because he developed the most evidence-based longevity blueprint anyone can follow for free:🧵
