As I have argued, explanations are not deductive proofs in any particularly interesting sense. Although they can always be presented in the form of deductive proofs, doing so seems not to capturing anything essential, or especially useful, and usually requires completing an incomplete explanation. Thinking of explanations as proofs tends to confuse causation with logical […]

The most notable difference between Tom Homan and Bovino is that Homan has deported a lot more people — and done it at a national scale.

This Saturday morning, I was preparing to take my six-year-old son to a local museum for some much-needed quality time. I was enjoying a temporary moment of peace after a Friday in which tens of thousands of people participated in an ‘ICE Out’ shutdown and strike of economic activities, as labour and community organisers successfully […]
This was the situation when they fired: Right hand holding his phone. Left hand on the ground. Zero threat to anyone. His gun, holstered, which he never went for, had been removed by an agent. This is an execution. The Agent has not been positively identified (though there’s a possible ID floating around), and was […]
Ever since it became evident that Trump was likely to be re-elected, I’ve been among the most pessimistic of commentators on the likely course of US politics (most recently here for example). I’ve also been nowhere near pessimistic enough. I assumed that Trump would follow the course of dictators like Putin and Orban, gradually eroding […]
“The word ‘computer’ only really slid over to mean ‘a machine’ in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, once we started building mechanical and then electronic devices to do that work instead [of people].

It all began when I commented on Davidson’s article Is economics a science? Should economics be rigorous? : LPS: Davidson’s article is a nice piece — but […]
