“The good news is that evasive entrepreneurs and an increasingly technologically-empowered public will keep pushing back and hopefully whittle away at the continuing vestiges of Prohibition Era stupidity. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and when people want a drink, crafty entrepreneurs will usually find a way to deliver.” ~ Adam Thierer
Policies that frown upon entrepreneurial risk-taking actively disincentivize the building of new and better things. We must remove political barriers to productive entrepreneurialism or else we will never get back to being the builders we once were.
Highly restrictive procedures for virus testing have had the unintended consequence of shutting down tests that could detect outbreaks and save lives. Going by the book apparently mattered more than getting good results.
The surest way to discourage innovators is to treat them and their inventions as guilty until proven innocent.
It would let bureaucrats at the new Federal Automation and Worker Protection Agency sit in judgment of what constitutes beneficial forms of innovation and ask them to predict or plan our technological future.
Even if it proves to be an inexact science, the effort is worth undertaking.
Many laws and regulations create direct or indirect barriers to the emergence of new ideas and organizations.
Forcing social media sites to “disappear” or be broken up is one of the worst ways to deal with these concerns.
Statutes and regulations continue to accumulate, layer by layer, until they suffocate not only economic opportunity, but also the effective administration of government itself.
We need a vision and set of principles to fight back against neo-Luddites and their proposals to slow or stop technological change.
