@aksharme Mark Twain said it best. "Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep 'til noon."

Once Gandhi was proclaimed as chaste and nonviolent, he could rape and murder all he wanted with impunity.

Evil is never so dangerous as when it is cloaked in piety and magnanimity.

Hayek was a scholar and a gentleman. I'm sad I never got to meet him. What a guy!

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

Hayek recalls his first visit to the US at age 23

“I was anxious to go to America to improve my knowledge of economics... I arrived in New York in March 1923 with exactly $25 in my pocket.”

“I was to start as a dishwasher in a Sixth Avenue restaurant next morning at 11 o’clock. Then as a great relief to me—and a source of everlasting regret now—I never started washing dishes.”

“On that morning, a telephone call came: Professor Jenks had returned and was willing to employ me.”

@postdiscipline @JonSteinsson If you had suggested to a late 18th century Englishman that in the 20th century, most Londoners would have their own personal transportation, he'd have fallen off his barstool laughing at the thought of streets buried 10 feet deep in horse manure. (James Burke paraphrased.)

@ImtiazMadmood More evidence of peace flowing from the Religion of Peace TM.

Is there no limit to the depth of depravity and evil that Islam pushes people to commit?

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." (Voltaire. 1765. Paraphrased.)

Good job, Alex. But I wonder if the marginal increase in readership is worth the cost of a Hindi translation (no doubt AI produced.)

My Hindi reading speed is around 2% of my English reading speed. I suspect that most Indians who care about MR content read English quite well.

Cheers.

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

I admire and like the Amish. I first got to know about them through the movie “Witness” soon after its release in 1985. Later I had the good fortune to see them in real life in Lancaster County, PA when I lived in Newark DE.

The Amish are good.

@flowidealism @paulg Jane Goodall often talked about how her mother encouraged her natural curiosity.

Richard Feynman too spoke about how his father taught him fundamental principles that helped him understand the world.

Paul's recommendation to read autobiographies is brilliant.

Computer scientist John McCarthy (1927 - 2011), the legendary pioneer in AI wrote, "He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to speak nonsense."

The universe is huge with trillions of galaxies. But it is mostly empty and the speed of light is really slow.

NHI visiting earth is possible but it is highly improbable, and there's no hard evidence.

@MickWest Mr West. I have read so many negative comments hurled at you that I wonder how you cope.

My deepest respect for your work. The gullibility of the masses is understandable. What amazes me is the apparent inability of the "intellectuals" to do simple arithmetic.

@keanfei47 @luisbaram Hayek was the "academic scribbler" (his friend Keynes' phrase) whose ideas have seriously wounded, if not defeated, communism.

Thatcher read Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" as an undergrad when it was published in 1944.

@iMac_too Material beliefs relate to the everyday matter of how to make a living, while cosmological beliefs relate to how should one live. The former is informed by the physical and social sciences and the latter by philosophy.

My staff put this one together. I don’t know why you care.

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

Hayek recalls what cured him of socialism:

“I turned to economics because I was half a socialist. I was crying for social justice. But it didn’t long survive my study of economics.”

“In 1922, when I was 23, Mises’s book on socialism came out—and that cured me forever.”

Impressive. @elonmusk with all his faults is a remarkable person. Good luck to him and his team.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk speaks from Starbase as SpaceX goes public, with the largest IPO EVER

"If people had told me this was going to happen [years ago], I would be like, man, you must be smoking some REALLY good crack because I think this company is going to fail!" 🤣

"I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear. In fact, I told people this: I said, 'look, we're probably going to fail, but, you know, we should give it a try because if we don't, if if there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly spacefaring civilization.'" 💯

[Girl patriot 🙏 🇺🇸 🦅 @Girlpatriot1974]

Americans are fed up.

Cape Cod native Andrew DeRogers unloaded regarding illegal immigration at a Barnstable County hearing:

A lifelong Cape Codder, still in his work clothes after a long day on the job, stepped up to the microphone and let it all out.
Born and raised on the Cape, Andrew has paid his taxes faithfully for over 40 years, followed every rule, and never asked for a handout.

But as he watches local resources stretched thin, he sees his hard-earned money going toward healthcare, housing assistance, and other benefits for illegal immigrants—while he struggles to afford basic needs like his own health insurance or home repairs.

“I have never once received any of the benefits,” he said. “Nobody is beating down my door to help me fix up my house... I’m sick to death of paying for this bullshit and being lectured about compassion.”

@LeoKearse Please stop this "Third world" nonsense. It isn't that. It's Muslim migrants that do the raping and killing.

I'm a Hindu migrant to the US. My kind have never raped or murdered anyone. That "3rd world" terminology lumps Indian Hindus with Pakistani Muslims rapists and killer.
