Speaking of goon spreadsheets here's the european election sweepstakes sheet. Post your predictions in the thread and I'll put them in. It's still weeks away so edits are fine, and you might want to wait for the local elections to be out of the way first.. Your prediction gets a score based on sum of squares of differences (zero is bang on for every party) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/101ShRNc4MC1YtBI2XE0ru8rda4aTlNBaIytsutD-QIc/edit#gid=185877406

That's a strong contender for best citation. Doesn't quite beat citing the unabomber in a maths paper but still very good.

There is actual research on the extent to which higher ed or otherwise abstract education actually improves decisionmaking (conceptualized in various ways), but Bostrom does not cite any of them; instead he cites a fellow "rationalist" ronya fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Lol some of the more FBPE FB friends I have are absolutely freaking out over Labour NEC position on the euro elections. To the extent that they're suggesting a lib dems comeback and mass support for CUKTIG. Both hard leave and hard Remainers are bonkers.

not envious of all the young labour firebrands, forced to either try to pitch "well we either want a brexit solution that's very good, like being in a customs union with single market access that somehow doesn't also limit are country's options in a customs union way or prevent us from closing the borders to forrins like the single market's supposed to, and if we can't have that we want another general election so we can absolutely make our brexit happen and if we can't have that we might consider not being against another brexyref provided it's somebody else's fault" or "what the gently caress's our brexit position matter the EU parliament's not doing brexit anyway"

So like, what is actually going on with the internal Labour NEC thing, is it just Watson being Watson again and trying to force the party to move towards "Referendum" immediately prior to an election which is does matter in? What is the strategic purpose outside of trying to win interparty conflict? Also, why are so many people so poo poo at interparty politiking?

With the new thread presumably coming in a few hours can we consider having a poll of whether we think Brexit will happen by 31 October? I think it could be interesting.

But surely he realises that he's going to look rubbish to 1) Everyone else and 2) Be far too associated with Corbyn to be a success with the Labour Right. The best option surely would be to play a longer game and risk not sitting in the fancy chair but having more say over candidate vetting?

ronya posted:he never had a great chance of overturning the NEC given its factional makeup; the goal was to provoke infighting amongst the Corbyn camp. Even a successful whip comes at a price of resentment In which case that seems stupid. It makes it less likely for there to be a Labour government next time and, for all the talk of conservative infighting and so on, I think some sections of the Labour Right are really unaware of how badly they could gently caress themselves with stuff like this. Hentai Jihadist posted:labour not commiting to a vote is real loving stupid tbf I kind of agree and do wish we could have a confirmatory referendum after negotiations, but the issue is one of timing. That and, as Ronya points out, it is designed to be for internal consumption too, the idea that a large section of Labour should just acquiesce to people demanding more of a say because 1) They don't want to be ignored by Guardian columnists and 2) Because they want to defenestrate the current system. This poo poo was an internal fight that was trying to force pressure through public prodding, but in trying to do so the people backing it have made their own prefered outcome less likely.

a key point from the graun:quote:However, some senior party figures drew comfort from the fact that the NEC is not meant to be a policymaking body; and the process for agreeing a general election manifesto would be different, involving shadow ministers in setting policy for their respective brief. the thing is, even if one is secretly hoping for the MP for Holborn and St Pancras to sally in and save the day, the strategy of forcing these battles appears to be working. Consider Owen Smith, who lost, and then lost his shadow cabinet seat too; nonetheless within months he still managed to box the leadership into the Conference compromise despite the best efforts of Momentum
