The more this crap happens, the less legitimate academia becomes. Which is fine because intellectuals are pretty useless.

I suppose if you see yourself as messianic, it’s hard to imagine why someone wouldn’t want to screw you.

You're projecting. I have no desire to govern other people or in any way restrict their ability to do what they think is best for themselves. That's what climate alarmists do. Deaths from natural disasters have been dramatically d

The positive outcomes of using fossil fuels for generating energy have vastly outweighed the negatives, and will continue to do so. I acknowledge that my opinion depends on a definition of "positive" that reflects my belief that w

If they accurately predicted the state of the 2020s climate in the 1970s, the government scientists should be embarrassed.

That’s an accomplishment that climate alarmists can’t claim. Government scientists have told me we were 10 years from mass death and deprivation for those same 50 years.

There’s nothing obsolete about it, though. It does exactly what I expect it to do and it’s better than my previous electric stove, in my opinion. And it’s none of your business. See to your own house.

I like my gas stove. It heats my food well and quickly. It’s not very expensive to operate. I hope my next house has similar functionality. Busybodies are never satisfied.

Sir, the Alaska fund is run by a government corporation governed by government employees and government appointees. The government decides how it's funded. The government decides how the money is spent. It's all government, and it

WW1 happened right after Roosevelt and Wilson got done debating who was going to be the best person to centralize state power in the national government in the mold of the social progressives. And just after Wilson outsourced American monet

That's also the time progressivism was peaking, and nation-states started creating centralized government welfare systems and engaging in Marxist revolutions. Get rid of welfare states, and you can get rid of borders. But you can'

First of all, the most evil institutions that have existed over the last 120 years or so have been doing it in the name of "the people." Secondly, if a government isn't both confiscating and redistributing the money, who are

The sinister euphemism of claiming that productive people have to "pay the population" manifests itself in weird ways, and it's not at all clear what you mean by that.

Private property is a civilized abstraction that alleviates the requirement to kill people who enter land you've claimed for your own, for as long as you can defend it. It's how national borders work.
