@NickKristof An American woman killed by ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis. You can make an argument for the first shot...maybe, if you keep your eyes closed, and your moral compass throttled. But the second and third shots? Who are you kidding?

Because the catastrophe they keep promising hasn't materialized (we have lower climate-related disaster deaths than ever) and because their anti-fossil-fuel policies themselves have been catastrophic.
Sickened by the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Sickened by the deterioration of the American culture and Western civilization.
Sickened by the lack of understanding of basic philosophical concepts that brought us the freedoms and prosperity we still enjoy today.
Hopeful about the fact that there is a philosophy of reason that can lead to long-lasting human thriving when adopted.
Working hard to make that happen sooner.

“I'm struck myself by how unaware I was before I started this of the magnitude of benefits of fossil fuels, how little I thought of them myself. And I wasn't coming from the left.”
“What happens if you don't have proper property rights?... Of course you're going to have scarcity, because having abundance requires that you're always producing more than you consume, which private property owners are incentivized to do.”
With @ClaytonMorris
“We need machines. But for machines to be usable, we need energy to be as cheap as possible, as reliable as possible, and as versatile as possible…and we need it to be as scalable as possible: available to billions of people in thousands of places.”
