Economics and Appeal To Authority
Dear Friends, It seems to me, what if the economy is in recession and the elite claim it’s not? The media will report all is well and the politicians will feel comfortable in their ivory tower, but the people will … Continue reading

Oversimplification Wealth And Power
Dear Friends, It seems to me, economics is more complex than the elites would have us believe, or understand themselves. Milton Friedman said inflation is always a function of monetary policy, which I think is an oversimplification. John Maynard Keynes … Continue reading

Law Serves The Unreasonable
Dear Friends, It seems to me, villains don’t follow the law, they exploit the law, while patsies follow the law and are exploited by it. Why? Because the law serves the politically favored unreasonable. Even as the politically disfavored reasonable … Continue reading

Logical Singularities Point To New Science
Dear Friends, It seems to me, consciousness isn’t the hard question, life itself is the hard question, and once we figure it out we’ll understand consciousness. I wonder if there’s more to reality than we are able to interact with … Continue reading

War On Workers
Dear Friends, It seems to me, regulators are waging war on workers. With the perfect paradigm of perverse incentives… in the name of protecting the worker, the environment, and the public. Regulators have made hiring Americans unprofitable. That’s why so … Continue reading

The Hubris Of The Experts
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the hubris of the experts will be the end of us all. Why is their hubris so much more dangerous than the guy on the street? We all have crazy thoughts now and then…? … Continue reading

Decentralize Power
Dear Friends, It seems to me, if we want prosperity, fecundity, and health, we must decentralize power. Experts and elitists will say this is nonsense. Their entire paradigm is built around the notion that experts coupled with governmental money and … Continue reading
