It's August. Many young people head off to college. This year, fortunately, fewer will go. I say "fortunately" because college is now an overpriced scam. Overpriced, because normal incentives to be frugal and make smart judgements about who should go to college were thrown out when the federal ...
We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an "overwhelming scientific consensus." "It's a manufactured consensus," says climate scientist Judith Curry in my new video. She says scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk to pursue "fame and fortune." She knows about that ...
Politicians have big plans for us. President Joe Biden repeatedly says, "I have a plan for that." "I alone can fix it," shouted President Donald Trump. But most of life, and the best of life, happens when politicians butt out and let us make our own choices. Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou ...
