Our series Living at Odds concludes with a special episode of Slate's Death, Sex & Money. Host Anna Sale returns to her native West Virginia to talk with the state's only full-time lobbyist for LGBTQ rights. Andrew Schneider of Fairness West Virginia has spent years cultivating working relationships with conservative allies in state and local government. Aided by those relationships, Andrew helped pass 20 local anti-discrimination ordinances across the conservative-leaning state. Now, those policy victories—and Andrew's alliances—are facing dire challenges in an increasingly hostile political landscape. Plus: How To!'s Courtney Martin looks back at Living at Odds, a series about what holds us together when so much threatens to break us apart.

It's been two years since the January 6th riot at the US Capitol in Washington DC. Over 900 people have been criminally charged, but political violence continues to be a threat. Well, here at How To!, we are not content to just marinate in fear and blame so we're dedicating two episodes to see how we can prevent more tragedies like January 6. In our first episode, we bring on Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace where she focuses on the intersection of democracy and security. She explains how the US has gotten to this point, how we should productively grapple with January 6, and why we're not as close to the brink of civil war as it may seem. Next week, we'll hear from Curtis Toler, a former Chicago gang member who is now a violence interrupter.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Wisdom Cannot Be Unzipped, published by Sable on October 22, 2022 on LessWrong. Introduction The year was 2016 (or close enough), and a friend of mine's younger brother - we'll call this younger brother Luke - was about to start college. Having completed college not that long ago, I thought it would be nice if I could make a list of some of the things that had helped me - the strategies and disciplines that I had made use of - to hand to this prospective scholar. I made my list, including links to productivity resources and guides to How To Get Things Done, and prepared to hand it off to Luke with my best wishes. I remember how it felt, handing him that list. I was envious of Luke, in a way; I wish that I had had someone hand me this list back when I started college. It would have made things so much easier! And here I was, just handing Luke the keys to success on a silver platter. He didn't even know how lucky he was. I could picture how much easier he'd find things than I did, with the steps on his path helpfully guided by my concise and helpful list. A few months later, I check in with my friend as to how his younger brother is doing, sure that I am about to hear a tale of effortless success and, well. Luke was failing his classes. I later learned that Luke had dropped out after his first year. Nowadays Luke's doing his own thing, and I have, shall we say, different opinions about the utility of college in general. And I can look back at the list I gave him and admit that it was not a perfect distillation of how to Mange Time Effectively and Really Get Things Done. At the time though, I was aghast, and spent a great deal of thought on how my Super Awesome List failed to teach Luke the secrets I had learned throughout college on How To Get Things Done. What I realized, after a great deal of introspection, was that it was inherent to the nature of wisdom itself that it cannot be decompressed. What follows is an examination of that idea. Part I: Gird Your Metaphors Compression as a Technology Compression is a key technology in digital systems. It's what happens when you ‘zip' a file - the file size is reduced, like packing a puffy winter jacket in a suitcase by sitting on the suitcase until you can get it closed. We compress data in digital systems because data transmission and storage aren't free, in money or in time. It takes longer to send a gigabyte than a megabyte, and you can (by definition) store a thousand of the latter for every one of the former. It becomes valuable, then, to compress any data we send before we send it; it can then be decompressed (unzipped) upon being received. With me so far? Wisdom as Large Pieces of Data People have been defining wisdom since there have been bearded old men claiming to have it. For our purposes, we'll be defining ‘wisdom' as a large piece of data, generally in the form of a life lesson synthesized into a series of recommended behaviors for various situations created from accumulated life experience. (Don't worry, we'll get to concrete examples in a second.) Talking as Transferring Data Just as data is transferred from one computer to another along wires, ‘knowledge' - or ‘wisdom' - is transferred from one person to another via sound waves, or, you know, talking. The problem here is that computers can transfer massive amounts of information between each other very very quickly. Humans cannot; no matter how fast we talk, talking remains a very slow method of communication. (Consider the information transfer of an eBook: the book could be transmitted from a source computer to your computer/kindle/device in seconds, but if you tried to read the book to another person, it would take hours.) To solve this problem, we humans compress the data we transfer via talking. We don't describe the book we're reading by reciting the ent...
