This week, I’m delighted to be able to feature a guest post from Eitan Hersh and Lucia Morisse-Corsetti on the topic of marijuana, gambling, and pornography. It’s an incredibly important topic given how much more accessible and addictive these activities have become in the age of OnlyFans, Internet pornography and online sports betting. Eitan is Professor of Political Science at Tufts University and the author of Politics is for Power, a favorite book of mine. Lucia is a student at Tufts University studying Political Science and Economics.

Earlier this week, I participated in a panel on “Male Vice in an Internet Age,” a conversation that focused on the challenges of Internet pornography and online sports betting. I was joined by Richard Reeves from the American Institute for Boys and Men, Charles Lehman of the Manhattan Institute and my colleague Christine Emba. You can check out our conversation here.
