"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." - HL Mencken

Understand this and you understand most of what is happening today.

@curryja This is logical. There are numerous practical things one can do to reduce wildfires, whereas blaming climate change ensures nothing will be done.

Do I warm myself up by putting on a sweater, or waiting for summer?

@jonkay Totalitarians use nonsense rules to acquire power over others.

In China, Maoism insisted the color of a cat was more important than its ability to catch mice.

Maoism died when Deng said its color is irrelevant.

The West today is starting to look more like Mao than Deng.

A major environmental problem, droughts, is actually decreasing.

@VPrasadMDMPH @DrJBhattacharya Are you really surprised? Governments used Covid as an excuse to steal an incredible amount of power from individuals, and history shows it never ends well.

This is what America looks like without politicians and bureaucrats.

I'm pretty cynical but I still get shocked at how brazenly politicized and corrupt the justice system has become. Check out AG Letitia James here. This is the face of fascism.

Melbourne just set a record for coldest temperature as Australia struggles with a frigid and wet winter.

Isn't that perfect for a country that's spending billions to prevent heat and drought?

@DavidDeutschOxf One of the most dispiriting things about modern society is that people fail to apply lessons of the past.

Instead they must suffer direct pain and consequences before they alter their behavior.

Big blame goes to the schools, which still don't teach basic economics.

@PaulRiz504 @LynAldenContact Chernobyl rapidly became a haven for wildlife.

@evaninnewport @LynAldenContact Warming is moderate, slowing and well within natural volatility. The planet exploded with life when CO2 was 3-12x higher than today (in the Jurassic and Cretaceous for example).

And the planet also entered a global ice age when CO2 was higher (what does that tell you, hmm?)

Dear @Twitter,

There's no justification for mandates for a vax that doesn't stop transmission. Placing a "misleading" label on @KGLiebowitz's tweet makes you look ridiculous. I recommend you hire more scientifically literate censors. Or better, stop censoring at all.

Yours,
Jay

@brave Privacy. The politicization of Big Tech is becoming a significant threat to individual liberty.

@BitcoinMagazine Singapore is gearing up for a CBDC to go along with their rollout of facial-recognition and other surveillance tech. I don't think their plans for crypto are what Satoshi had in mind.

@WanjiruNjoya Same ideology, different names. Authoritarians once stoked class warfare to create a climate of fear and paranoia that made people look to the state for safety. Then they used 'training' to smother individuality and ensure obedience.

Instead of class, now it's race.

This is an image of just a tiny patch of our sky - about the size of a grain of sand held at arms length. And yet every smudge of light in the image is a galaxy containing hundreds of millions of stars.

He's quit: "cancel culture destroys wealth and progress" and there is "no place for virtue signalling...I will continue to prod with a sharp stick the nonsense, hypocrisy, sloppy logic and group-think inside the mainstream bubble of sustainable finance." https://t.co/bIvUGNfJM7

@JustinTrudeau @JohnTory Literally everything is getting worse under Trudeau, with Canada now leading the developed world in both the most new debt and the lowest forecast for GDP, but he will talk. And spend. And talk. And spend. And talk. And spend ...
