Below is a list of the entire corpus of opinions I am willing to defend:
- Affairs (i.e. A is married to B, A sleeps with C without B’s knowledge) are bad
- It is inherently unethical to own a BMW SUV
- Universities are a good thing if they are universities and a bad thing if they become vocational schools (vocational schools that are vocational schools are a good thing though) (also universities should basically be monasteries) (see here)
- Most people should travel less
- The government should in general be minimally involved in elite competition of any sort (see here)
- While “improve incentive structures” is a good way to improve outcomes, it has obvious limits if everyone is particularly immoral, so “improve people” is both an inescapable goal and also an almost domain-independent Pareto improvement (see here and here)
