This is my question: can we YIMBY harder? Many people are awakening to the enormous costs of restrictive municipal land use and zoning. But what can we do about it? Most assume that restrictive zoning and skyrocketing housing costs are local issues t... more
Nearly everyone agrees that the American system is, in some sense, rigged. If it is, then how did it get that way. Mike Konczal (@rortybomb), Director of Progressive Thought at the Roosevelt Institute, a left-leaning think tank, argues that America h... more

I never thought I'd see a seditious mob of Americans sack the Capitol building as Congress counted electoral votes. But, then again, I never thought the president of the United States would turn out to be a malignant narcissist who lies about everyth... more

I enjoy Will’s long form writing, but an hour and 45 minutes is far too long for these types of discussions, with too much rambling dialogue. The podcast includes many interesting and important topics that could use some editorial attention.
This is a decent podcast, but Will is talking at least 50% more than his guests, which doesn’t make any sense. Half of the podcast on Reactionary Conservatism was Laura trying to get a word in edge-wise. And she was making better points! So painful.
So thoughtful and informed about a critical issue-the roots and illiberal ideologies—that touches on philosophy, modernism and anti modernism, party politics, critical theory in higher ed, literature (Moby Dick is my favorite novel too!)
This podcast is my new favorite and long overdue. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious and wants to think about the hard questions of public policy in a meaningful, critical way. I appreciate how open and honest Will is about his beliefs, and acknowledging where he has been wrong in the past and taking a hard look at the evidence. This is a welcome breath of fresh air, nuance and intellectual integrity.
Wilkinson has probably been the best influence for my politics over the past decade.
