A quick definition of danism:

Term: danism

Definition: Danism is a historical practice of lending money on usury. It comes from the Greek word daneismos, which means "a loan". This means that people would lend money to others and charge them extra money in return for borrowing it. It is not a common practice anymore, but it was used in the past.

A more thorough explanation:

Danism is a historical practice of lending money on usury. It comes from the Greek word "daneismos" which means "a loan".

During the Middle Ages, many people borrowed money from lenders who practiced danism. These lenders charged high interest rates, making it difficult for borrowers to repay their debts. For example, if someone borrowed $100, they might have to pay back $120 or more.

Another example of danism can be seen in the story of Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice". In the play, the character Shylock is a moneylender who practices danism. He lends money to the main character, Antonio, and demands a pound of his flesh as collateral if he cannot repay the loan.

These examples illustrate how danism was a common practice in the past, but it was often seen as unfair and exploitative. Today, many countries have laws that regulate the amount of interest that lenders can charge, in order to protect borrowers from excessive fees and charges.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
