Didn’t massively exceed my writing goals today, but in my defense I think I posted a couple above-average blog posts.
On my writer’s blog I wrote a piece that elevated some ideas that I had by incorporating some practical advice for writers trying to avoid burnout. I may be tooting my own horn here, but I think I actually wrote what is almost certainly the best piece I’ve written in a long time.
Then I got done with the second to last piece of my reflections on my old series about Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life. I’ve been enjoying revisiting it if only to see how much my thinking has changed over the course of three years, especially since I’ve had a lot of emphasis on self-development during that time. It’ll go up here on @kwilley next week when it goes over from the blog, or you can check it out here.
I had hoped to get more done on my book on pacifism, but I don’t think that’s really in the cards for the evening because I’m going to head to bed as soon as I post this to get back on schedule.
Been working on reading that book I have an advanced reader’s copy of. It’s interesting, but I’m certainly not going to write a strictly positive review. There’s some thinking that seems hopelessly confused, including, of all things, a below-average representation of the labor theory of value (which is itself an utter farce). Once you start with confused thinking on causality, you wind up drawing conclusions that are incorrect, and then there’s a whole epistemological swamp that you get caught up in and strangled by vines in.
Still, I’m not hating the book or anything, though the problem with the labor theory of value leads to a certain conspiratorial mode of thought because it overlooks the entrepreneurial value of time-shifting and the function of capitalism and replaces it with a “but capitalism is oppressive” understanding that would be easily resolved if people read Rothbard’s chapters of simple Crusoe economics in Man, Economy, State. It’s available for free and is my personal favorite for anyone who wants to read clear and unconfused economics.
