More timely than the author expected! (Note: I almost called this Big Tent Liberalism - President Obama is part of the liberal tradition, for sure, and also President Reagan, for sure.)

Little announcement: I am starting a new book on animal rights and animal welfare, tentatively called ANIMALS MATTER. Formal announcement to come. A daunting thing is the sheer volume of terrific material on this, led of course by @petersinger.info and more recently by @christinewebb.bsky.social

The Morality of Legality: A Conversation between Cass Sunstein and Richard Pildes
YouTube video by NYU School of Law The Morality of Legality: A Conversation between Cass Sunstein and Richard Pildes

Cass Sunstein wrote an essay I found intriguing called "The Morality of Legality." We decided to do a short video discussing the ideas in it.

What If I Still Want to Be a Perfectionist? Absolute perfectionism is the flawed belief that we need to be perfect everywhere, all of the time, and to everyone, whereas relative perfectionism offers a healthier alternative.

Cass Sunstein argued, β€œCountless potential innovators in science, business, and elsewhere were born in a family that did not help, did not find the right role models, were subjugated in some way, or did not benefit from networks. They lost life’s lottery.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/perf...

@casssunstein.bsky.social's "On Liberalism" makes a compelling case for liberalism as the foundation of freedom & self-government. This defining text shows how and why liberalism has appealedβ€”and should appealβ€”to both the left and the right.
