I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.” Thomas Sowell.
I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take it out of gov hands, that is , we can’t take it violently, all we can do is introduce a sly roundabout way that they can’t stop. #Hayek#Bitcoin
Never forget the American who looked Fauci in the eye, refused the COVID vaccine, and called him out on camera.
Still one of the ballsiest moments of the entire pandemic.
Column: "climate change is real and the Right needs to get serious about it,"
It's killing everything we claim to love - landscape, tradition, millions of poor chickens - so why do some conservatives still call it a hoax?!

Many are exasperated about the proliferation of conspiracy theories, but what this style of thinking really shows is that our unprecedentedly retarded politics now resists all rational analysis and therefore increasingly just drives people crazy.
@cjsnowdon Peter seems to think that the uk will end up like the soviet union. Where middle class people found themselves bankrupt and going from door to door trying to sell their belongings. Do you see this happening on the current situation?
@RichardHanania Why do you even need USAID? Why can’t the money go towards the American people instead? Don’t give me the bleeding heart story that you care about Africans. You literally have 1000s of Africans people dying everyday day and no one bats an eye.
@zannymb@elonmusk@andrewrsorkin Zanny is your typical spoiled liberal who knows nothing about life and lives in a comfortable bubble. Why are people like her so obsessed with immigration and replacing western culture.
Colin is merely saying what many of us who used to listen to you with great respect are thinking privately.
I loved your contributions to the public debate because you were a scientist who articulated ideas with extreme clarity and care, offering an evolutionary biologist's insight into human behaviour, culture and society. You did this with kindness, grace and moral courage.
Today, much of your time appears to be spent insinuating the existence of unspecified conspiracies which you do not elaborate on. Your timeline is full of references to "they", "dark forces" and "psyops". When asked to clarify what it is you're saying, even by friends, you act as if the question itself is evidence of the conspiracy. In the process, you appear to give the cover of your good name to ideas spread by some of the most narcissistic, despicable, unprincipled, immoral and vicious people in existence who exhibit none of the kindness, grace or morality I used to associate with you.
As an outside observer and former admirer of yours, the public person you were and the public person you are now are not the same. Take absolutely no pleasure in observing this. On the contrary, it's painful and disappointing.
And so the question for many of us, Bret, is what has gotten into *you*?
