Common Sense
“If we don’t get some common sense again right quick, the sort of revolution that Paine helped make possible with Common Sense might be next. Planned or not, American and global society has moved very far up the risk-reward tradeoff line, where Left, Right, and Classical Liberal think their respective goals are almost within grasp.…

There Is No Such Thing as a Public Health Expert
“Self-proclaimed public health experts are really nothing more than aspiring autocrats who happen to populate governments and academic departments. Given the lack of actual expertise or competition in those fields, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that these same individuals also happen to have atrocious track records when it comes to preventing and treating disease…

The Business Economics of The Office
“Though The Office may offer a somewhat exaggerated account of entrepreneurial alertness, economic calculation, and the vagaries of corporate management, the broader strokes of its characters’ endeavors are informative.

The Many Variants of Fauci’s Mutating Covid Advice
“Although reinfection from new strains continues to be an avenue of research and investigation, the evidence we currently have suggests it remains uncommon.

The Mischief of “Pecuniary Externalities”
“Perhaps my long discourse on ‘pecuniary externalities’ strikes the reader as ponderous or even pointless. Ponderous it probably is, but pointless it is not.

Hard Work Isn’t Enough. You Have to Work Hard on the Right Things.
