Intolerant of Independent Minds, Class and Race Theorists Demand a Return Of The Primitive

September 21, 2020

Peoples know nothing of the spirit of man, for peoples are only nature, and man is a word that has no plural. Petrograd is not of the people. It is a stranger, aloof, incomprehensible, forbidding. Petrograd does not need a soul; it has a mind.

Even if we were to exclude Syria from the list of U.S. wars, that would still leave the U.S. bearing at least partial responsibility for wars that have displaced 30 million people since 2001. That is a staggering number, and it is one that we cannot forget when we talk about ending endless wars.

September 17, 2020

Please think about what was said. It reads as kind of a ransom note. Vote for science-reverent candidate Joe Biden, or else….Really, what else could the utterance mean?

September 16, 2020

How long can a state suffer the rich Bourbons of the Bay Area? As long as its brave nobodies still drive ’dozers right into conflagrations to create lifesaving fire breaks, as long as unheralded pilots fly blind into smoke to drop fire retardant, and as long as there is something left for the parasitical elite of the rich inheritance from California’s brilliant and industrious but now long-dead past.

Economics For Individuals: Save Like A Pessimist, Invest Like An Optimist.

September 15, 2020

Compounding is easy to underestimate because it’s not intuitive, even for smart people.
