『學術界之所以聚集了大量知識分子，是因為它是一個責任極低的封閉環境，讓社會主義這類糟糕的思想得以滋長。

根據湯瑪斯・索威爾（Thomas Sowell）的說法，知識分子提出的思想，通常只由其他知識分子來評判。

一名工程師如果蓋的大樓倒塌，職涯就毀了；一名商人的事業失敗，往往意味著破產。

但如果一位知識分子提出的宏大社會改革方案造成災難性的失敗，他卻幾乎不用為自己的錯誤付出代價，因為終身教職制度（tenure）以及同溫層文化，替他提供了保護。

而根據路德維希・馮・米塞斯（Ludwig von Mises）的觀點，資本主義會回報那些真正服務消費者的人。

許多知識分子對此心生不滿。

他們的抱負無法實現，於是退回學術界或政府部門，一邊批判那個沒有讓自己功成名就的「體制」，一邊依靠自己所厭惡的市場創造出的財富來獲得補助。

他們擅長抽象理論，也擅長獲得同儕認可，卻不擅長接受現實的檢驗。

結果就是形成了一個自我篩選的圈子，在那裡，如何讓同事覺得自己很聰明，比提出真正能改善現實、對一般人有效的成果還重要。

因為現實世界更加嚴苛，也誠實得多。』

🚨 JUST IN: The Pentagon releases videos of American forces OBLITERATING over 90 TARGETS in Iran tonight in retaliation for the regime’s attacks on civilian vessels

This is in ADDITION to the 80 targets hit last night by U.S. forces.

Tonight’s strikes included “air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline,” CENTCOM said

Iran ultimate strategy to bypass the Strait of Hormuz just went up in smoke. The destruction of Chabahar's control tower is a direct hit to Tehran's maritime leverage and ocean access. Washington isn't just targeting weapons; they are systematically dismantling Iran’s economic and naval lifeline. The gloves are officially off.

[Daniel Lacalle @dlacalle_IA]

Trump understood Iran would eventually breach the MOU.

✅️ That’s why the deal was fully conditional:
✅️ He bought time for Iranian crude to pile up at sea due to lack of buyers.
✅️ He gave Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman time to deepen alternatives to Hormuz and secure supply.
✅️ He strengthened U.S. domestic energy security.
✅️ He waited for OPEC+ output increases to make Iran weaker and Hormuz less central.

The US never trusted or gave strength to Iran. It was a strategic move to solidify alternatives and Gulf nation options.

Many will not recognize it, but it is a solid strategy.

🚨 BREAKING:

🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister:
Our hypersonic missiles can reach Tel Aviv in just 400 seconds — around 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

[Visioner @visionergeo]

‼️‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. Air Force has surgically dismantled the Aq Tekeh Khan railway bridge in Iran’s Golestan province, effectively severing a critical land-based artery that linked Tehran to Russia and China.

This wasn't just a random target; it was the bypass valve for the "North-South" transport corridor, which Tehran has been desperately relying on to move goods while its maritime ports remain under U.S. blockade. By vaporizing this rail link, Washington has signaled that it’s not just squeezing Iran’s navy in the Strait of Hormuz—it’s systematically strangling the regime’s entire land-based logistical network.

​This strike is a masterclass in American strategic dominance. For months, the regime in Tehran has tried to use land routes through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan to circumvent the U.S. naval pressure, hoping to keep its economy on life support despite the blockade.

[Raymond Ibrahim @RaymondIbrahim5]

Cursing Christians and Jews is a standard part of Islamic prayers, recited millions if not billions of times every day by Muslims around the world. It's based on the opening chapter of the Koran, which reads:

“Guide us to the straight path — the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have incurred Your wrath [Jews] or of those who are astray [Christians].”

In this video, not only does the Egyptian soccer team recite this repudiation of Christians and Jews, but — and because its playing mostly Christian teams — it repeatedly recites — thrice — other segments of the Koran that distinctly condemn Christians:

“Say, 'He is Allah, who is One... He neither begets nor is born, nor does he have an equivalent'... Infidels are they who say, 'God is one in a Trinity.' There is only One God. If they do not stop saying this, they will be afflicted with a painful punishment” [Koran 112:1-4 and 5:73].

And people wonder if it's true that Egypt's national soccer team openly rejects Coptic Christian players.

Of course, whenever a Christian player is exceedingly good, they try to entice him to convert to Islam to join the team.

Such is the sick mentality that is being welcomed into the global "fraternity of sports."

Forget the media gloom and doom — Earth's biosphere is in great health.

Additional CO₂ levels have boosted primary crop production, which has soared by 54–56% since 2000. This represents a total of 9.5–9.6 billion tonnes of farm produce. Total production in 2000 was approximately 6.1 billion tonnes.

Wheat production alone has grown 36% (from 585m to 798m tonnes) with minimal land expansion. A global expansion of green life has been captured on NASA satellites and vetted by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Higher CO₂ is the catalyst:

* Sahara Desert: New growth on around 8% of the area.
* The Arctic: 38% increase in vegetation mass since 1985.
* Global greening: 5.5 million km² — roughly twice the size of the Amazon Rainforest.
* Australian agriculture: The 2025-26 season had its third-highest wheat production on record; yields estimated at 2.90 tonnes per hectare, roughly 10% above the 5-year average.

World agriculture is breaking all previous records.

El milagro chino no fue un milagro.

Fue lo qu pasa cuando un gobierno deja de impedir que la gente cree riqueza.

Deng Xiaoping no construyó Shenzhen.

Simplemente dejó de bloquearla.

Durante casi tres décadas China vivió bajo planificación central total.

El resultado fue el Gran Salto Adelante y una hambruna que mató a decenas de millones de personas.

El mismo país y la misma gente que años después harían temblar a la economía mundial, y ahí, miseria absoluta.

En diciembre de 1978, en ekl Tercer Pleno del Partido, Deng admitió lo qu e ningún marxista quiere admitir.

Que el plan no funcionaba.

Y entonces hizo algo que se parece bastante a un experimento de laboratorio.

En 1980 el gobierno cercó cuatro pedazos de costa y los llamó zonas económicas especiales.

Shenzhen, Zhuhai y Shantou en agosto, Xiamen en octubre.

Adentro de esas zonas se permitió lo que afuera seguía prohibido.

Propiedad privada, inversión extranjera, precios que se movían solos y ganancias que uno se podía quedar.

Afuera, nada de eso cambió.

La misma gente que un kilómetro más allá seguía siendo pobre.

La misma cultura y la misma tierra.

La única variable que se modificó fue el grado de libertad de mercado.

Y ahí apareció la riqueza.

Exactamente ahí.

Shenzhen en 1980 era un puñado de aldeas fronterizas con 332.900 habitantes.

Su PBI era de 2.700 millones de yuanes, apenas un 0,2% del de Hong Kong.

Cuatro décadas después tiene casi 18 millones de habitantes y un PBI de más de 3,4 billones de yuanes.

En 2018 superó a Hong Kong, la ciudad de la que había copiado todo.

Entre 1980 y 1984 creció a un ritmo cercano al 58% anual.

Ninguna política redistributiva produce números así, porque redistribuir no crea nada, solo mueve lo que ya existe.

Lo de Shenzhen no fue una inyección mágica de capital del Estado.

Fue la confirmación de algo que Mises había demostrado en 1920, sentado en un escritorio de Viena, sin ver jamás a China.

Sin propiedad privada sobre los medios de producción no hay precios reales.

Sin precios reales no hay forma de calcular qué es rentable y qué es puro desperdicio.

Y sin ese cálculo la economía entera se maneja a ciegas.

Eso fue la China de Mao.

Producía y producía sin saber si estaba creando o destruyendo, porque le faltaba la brújula.

La brújula son los precios.

La zona económica especial es, en el fondo, un cerco donde el Estado aceptó dejar de calcular con criterio político y dejó que la gente calculara con criterio económico.

Apenas volvieron los precios, volvió la coordinación.

Y con la coordinación, la abundancia.

Ahora seamos precisos, porque acá es donde muchos se entusiasman de más.

China nunca se volvió libre.

Sigue siendo un régimen autoritario con un aparato estatal descomunal.

Pero eso no debilita el argumento, lo vuelve más filoso.

China no prosperó parejo en todo su territorio.

Prosperó exactamente en la medida y en el lugar donde aflojó el socialismo.

Más mercado, más riqueza.

Menos mercado, la vieja miseria de siempre.

Y si querés el grupo de control del experimento, mirá del otro lado de la frontera coreana.

El mismo pueblo, partido en dos en 1945.

El sur abrió mercados y hoy es una potencia industrial.

El norte mantuvo la planificación entera y todavía produce hambrunas con los mismos recursos y la misma sangre.

No hay excusa cultural, geográfica ni racial que explique el abismo.

Cambia una sola cosa, y esa cosa lo cambia todo.

Deng lo resumió con una frase de campo que vale más que veinte tratados.

No importa si el gato es blanco o negro mientras cace ratones.

El mercado cazó los ratones que la planificación había dejado morir de hambre.

China no descubrió una tercera vía ni un socialismo con características especiales.

Descubrió que el mercado que había prohibido era lo único que alguna vez generó riqueza.

Creció exactamente hasta donde dejó de obedecer a Marx.

Hoy muchos usan el caso chino al revés.

Te lo venden como prueba de que un Estado fuerte planifica la prosperidad.

Es al revés.

China creció cuando el Estado se corrió, y se frena ahora que el Estado vuelve.

Bajo Xi el péndulo se dio vuelta.

Volvieron a asignar el capital con criterio político y no con precios.

El resultado es sobrecapacidad, bancos prestando a pérdida y una burbuja inmobiliaria que estalló con Evergrande.

Eso no es prosperidad planificada, solo es un consumo de capital con contabilidad de propaganda como hacen siempre.

La misma ley que hizo rica a Shenzhen está corriendo en reversa.

美国敢把自己的丑事和错误，清清楚楚地放在最高标准下审判。

Palantir 首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普（Alex Karp）在与主持人比尔·马赫（Bill Maher）对话时，讲得非常透彻。
他承认，美国确实干过极其混账的事。
但人们之所以能指出这些事很糟，是因为美国人始终在用极高的标准自我解剖。

在他眼里，这就是自由世界与威权体制最本质的区别。
如果拿去跟中共国、俄罗斯或伊朗比，那些地方的统治者甚至连“向往这些标准”的姿态都没有。
卡普在德国生活过半辈子，在他看来，即使是德国这样的发达社会，也缺乏美国的融合度、创新与公平。
他甚至提到，德国很多大公司至今仍掌握在一千五百年前的古老家族手里。

美国的魔力，恰恰在于它能在如此庞大的规模下，容纳完全不同的族群、完全不同的思想，还能让系统运转起来。
卡普拿自己举例：他并非出身富裕，甚至曾被看作是“科学怪人”式的异类。
但这个国家依然给了他证明自己的舞台。
正如他所说，在这个地方，只要你能交付成果，根本没人关心你有多疯狂。

这才是真正的常识。
自由世界同样充满瑕疵。
但它强大的根基，在于容得下异类，拼得出结果，并且永远拥有公开纠错的勇气。

Biggest attack by the US Airforce since ceasefire

After Iranian attack on commercial vessels in Strait of Hormuz, U.S. fighter jets are bombing IRGC targets including missile launchers, Air Defence, Radar & drone storage facilities across Southern Iranian cities including Sirik

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🇺🇸 U.S. FORCES JUST HIT IRAN HARD!

@CENTCOM didn’t hesitate. In a powerful show of strength, American troops launched precision strikes on over 80 Iranian targets, smashing air defenses, command centers, coastal radars, anti-ship missiles, and dozens of IRGC small boats in the Strait of Hormuz.

This was a direct response to Iran’s reckless attacks on commercial vessels, including the M/T Al Rekayyat, M/T Wedyan, and M/T Cyprus Prosperity.

Enough is enough.

No more messing with international shipping or violating ceasefires on our watch.

Freedom of navigation will be protected.
America’s military is locked and loaded… Iran, you’ve been warned.

Stay strong, CENTCOM!

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has been audited station by station. The report reveals that the agency has systematically erased cooling trends from the historical record, replacing them with synthetic warming.

At Rutherglen, Victoria for example, raw data from 1913 to 2006 showed a cooling trend. But the Bureau's adjusted chart flips this into warming. No physical justification, just statistical sleight of hand.

Comparisons at Deniliquin also reveals the tactic - how past highs have been lowered to fit the narrative. Minimums from 1910 onward here are reduced by as much as 1.8C. These edits weren't based on new evidence. They were applied decades later by opaque homogenization models.

The report's author calls it the rewriting of Australia's temperature history. But it's not just happening in Australia. Climate agencies in the UK and US have also cooled the past so as to exaggerate or even fabricate modern warming trends.

This manipulated data is then paraded as truth by politicians and the media with the original measurements buried.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

The world is more than 1°C warmer and CO₂ has reached 427 ppm — yet our planet is turning into a greener paradise.

NASA data shows global greening from higher CO₂ has delivered an unexpected windfall: an increase in leaf area equivalent to the contiguous United States — or roughly the size of the entire Amazon Rainforest.

The Sahel has reclaimed 8% of its dry barren lands and Arctic vegetation surged 38% between 1985 and 2016. Satellites detected significant greening across 25–50% of the world's vegetated areas (NASA/Boston University findings, 2000–2017).

Food production has been substantially boosted. This is the Earth actively participating: 30% of these new green areas provide natural cooling through enhanced water-vapour management.

The planet isn’t a passive victim — it’s an active, resilient participant. By comparison, UN climate ideology sells fear and control.

This reality invites out renewed faith in the natural world.
-@PeterDClack

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Today, NASA satellites confirm Earth is greening dramatically. CO₂ fertilisation has added biomass equivalent to two continents of new forest in recent decades, boosting crop yields and ecosystems alike.

Oceans, holding around 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, continue their ancient dance of absorption, circulation and outgassing under Henry’s Law.

The natural world keeps working its wonders. The real question isn’t whether CO₂ is 'pollution', but how we pursue genuine abundance and resilience while staying humble before these vast systems.

[Anika @anika_climate]

🚨 PRINCETON PHYSICS PROFESSORS DEBUNK CLIMATE CHANGE!

A revealing graph from Drs. William Happer and Richard Lindzen advances freedom by dismantling the false narrative that blames CO₂ for an impending climatic catastrophe. Policies rooted in this alarmism—net zero mandates, energy restrictions, subsidies for wind and solar, and regulatory overreach—have been devastating to America and many other countries.

These mandates have forced electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, closed reliable power plants, outsourced manufacturing jobs, and burdened families and businesses with higher costs of living. While delivering no environmental benefits, climate policies have contributed to energy poverty, a less reliable power grid, and a transfer of wealth from working families to government-favored industries.

Drs. Lindzen and Happer, physics professors emeriti at Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively, show through their new graph (below) how CO₂’s warming power decreases very rapidly with increasing atmospheric concentration.

CO2’s greenhouse effect is the result of its interaction with the infrared of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is now largely saturated at today’s CO2concentration of about 420 parts per million (ppm). With so little unaffected infrared radiation left to interact with CO2 molecules, adding more of the gas is having a trivial effect and will produce even less warming in the future.
