Dinner guest: it’s a lot harder running a software firm in NYC vs SF because of the gender performance differences

Me: how so

Dinner guest: the women in SF are largely not distracting, whereas it’s much harder to keep engineers on track in NYC. They don’t want to work late here

Me: ok

Dinner guest: I think the incel phenomenon is intentionally pushed by Facebook, etc to keep their programmers working late

Me: ok

this always works because language neatly carves reality at its joints, btw

it's just a relevant point, rarely brought up, that most of federal revenue is committed to federal benefits programs, mostly for the elderly. you can notice that this is true without doing anything about it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Not clear here, from the plain meaning of the text, that individual states can't endorse a state religion.

Obviously the levers of power should actually be arranged such that the political situation can be more absurdist.

Obviously the state should actually ban federal endorsement of egregores writ large, not just the egregores which happen to be religions.
