NBN Book of the Day - Lorraine Daston Rules the World (EF, JP)
Lorraine Daston, Rules: A Short History of What We Live by (Princeton UP, 2022).
Historian of science Lorraine Daston's wonderful new book, Rules: A Short History of What We Live by (Princeton UP, 2022). is just out. Daston's earlier pathbreaking works include Against Nature, Classical Probability in the Enlightenment and many co-authored books, including Objectivity (with Peter Galison) which introduced the idea of historically changeable "epistemic virtues."
In this Recall this Book conversation, Daston--Raine to her friends--shows that rules are never as thin (as abstract and context-free) as they pretend to be. True, we love a rule that seems to brook no exceptions: by the Renaissance, even God is no longer allowed to make exceptions in the form of miracles. Yet throughout history, Raine shows, islands of standardized stability are less stable than they seem. What may feel like oppressively general norms and standards are actually highly protected ecotopes within which thin rules can arise. Look for instance at the history of sidewalks (Raine has)!
Raine, Elizabeth and John dive into the details. Implicit and explicit rules are distinguished in the case of e.g. cookbooks and monasteries--and then the gray areas in-between are explored. When students unconsciously ape their teachers, that is a tricky form of emulation--is it even possible to "follow but not ape"? Perhaps genres do this work: The Aeneid is not the Iliad and yet older writers are somehow internalized in the later ones.
Mentioned in the Episode
- Karl Polanyi, 1944) The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time, on the embeddedness of markets in norms and rules.
- John Locke's Second Treatise on Government (1690) denounces the "arbitrary will of another," an early case of seeing will simply qua will is unacceptable.
- Arnold Davidson sees genre variation (like Milton learning from Homer) also happening in musical invention.
- Michael Tomasello works on children's rule-following and enforcement against violations,
- Johannes Huizinga's Homo Ludens (1938) with its notion of demarcated "sacred spaces of play" is a touchstone of rule-following Lorraine and John both adore.
Recallable Books
- The Rule of Saint Benedict (516 onwards)
- Irma Rombauer, Joy of Cooking (1931 onwards) As Elizabeth says, it's from following the rules that joy emerges....
- Walter Miller's Canticle for Liebowitz
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground (1864) an instance of the notion that one establishes free will by caprice or defiance against natural laws ("damnit, gentleman, sometimes 2+2=5 is a nice thing too!")

What A Day - Kevin Knows He’s Miserable Now
The House of Representatives adjourned for a second day without electing a new speaker, after Rep. Kevin McCarthy failed to convince 20 of his Republican colleagues to support his bid. He lost another three rounds of voting Wednesday, leaving no indication when the stalemate will end.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency amid a potentially catastrophic storm that’s bearing down on the Golden State. It's now the third atmospheric river to hit the state in just two weeks.
And in headlines: the FDA finalized a rule change that will make abortion pills more accessible, the organizer of the "Varsity Blues" college admissions cheating scandal was sentenced to federal prison, and Salesforce said it would lay off about 10% of its staff.

The Daily Signal - ‘It’s Really Like Poison,’ Former Drug Enforcement Agent Says of Fentanyl
Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin. How strong is that? It's so strong that it only takes 2 milligrams—the equivalent of four grains of salt—to kill you, according to a former federal drug enforcement agent. Put another way, he says, 1 gram of fentanyl could potentially kill 500 people.
"We got to make sure we understand that there's obviously illicit fentanyl, which is what we're seeing all over America now. But the legal fentanyl that's made is a very powerful opioid, a synthetic opioid that is made to help people with pain," says Derek Maltz, a retired special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration. "And like I said, it's used in [intravenous] drips for cancer patients and people with severe back pain. And that's the stuff that is prescribed by doctors in hospitals."
"But the synthetic opioid fentanyl that we're talking about now, in my opinion, is really not a drug. We're calling it fentanyl, but it's really like poison, because it's made in dirty, filthy labs in Mexico," he says.
Maltz joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss when he first encountered fentanyl, who the victims of fentanyl are, and what the path forward for the U.S. is in fighting it.
