Weekly Inchoate No. 6

Summarizing the week's posts -- Hannah Ritchie and Our World in Data; the Cass-Slade debate between a libertarian and a new economic conservative

Note to readers: to receive one weekly digest instead of daily emails, you’ll need to change your delivery (notification) preferences here: My Account - The Daily Inchoate (substack.com).

This week’s posts focused on the data scientist Hannah Ritchie, who just published a new book and is a lead researcher at Our World in Data, a fabulous resource for visualizing the state of the world on various important issues from economics to energy to food to population.

Thinking about political solutions to Anthropocene problems is as important as getting a clearer understanding of the issues. To that end, this week I analyzed a debate on the conservative side of the political spectrum between Stephanie Slade, a libertarian writing at Reason magazine, and Oren Cass from the new think tank American Compass.

I’d love to hear from you, if you have comments, questions, suggestions, or encouragement.

If you know of someone who might be interested in reading about the Anthropocene in a slightly more philosophical way, please share!
