Ronald Reagan in 1982 on Free Trade
Tweet When President Ronald Reagan delivered this address in November 1982, I was a 24-year-old graduate student. Radically libertarian at that point for almost six years, I was sufficiently astute enough to know that Reagan wasn’t terrible on most of the issues that I cared about, but I was nevertheless insufficiently mature and astute enough to appreciate just how superb Reagan was for a man who achieved the office of U.S. President. Compared to any president since he […]

What They Don’t Tell You About Anxiety
Many consider anxiety to be the disease of the modern age. It is thus one of the most significant disease markets in America (e.g., from 2001-2004, approximately 19.1% of American adults had an anxiety disorder and in 2007, 36.8 billion was spent on medical care for anxiety and mood disorders). Yet despite spending billions on anxiety, rather than be appropriately addressed (like many other industries that depend upon the perpetuation of the problem they “solve”), it has only increased. Worse still, a recent […]

Most Americans became experts in international trade two months ago
In my opinion, they’re not wrong. But anyone who thinks that the Democratic party isn’t being reactionary and is naturally the free trade party and pro-expert-economist hasn’t been paying attention. See: the entire brand of pro-manufacturing union types in Bernie Sanders’ base and Biden’s blatantly protectionist bent on tariffs and industries that are neither competitive nor in the national interest to subsidize. Bernie Sanders tanked Asia policy for the next several decades by getting the Democrats to backtrack […]

The Ever-Expanding War Machine
Under the guise of efficiency, the Trump administration is taking a sledgehammer to essential programs and agencies that are the backbone of America’s civilian government. The virtual elimination of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and plans to shut down the Department of Education are just the most visible examples of a campaign that includes layoffs of budget experts, public health officials, scientists, and other critical personnel whose work undergirds the daily operations of government and provides the basic services needed by businesses, […]

Public school didn’t fail us. It did exactly what it was designed to do.
They said it was for our future. But school never taught us how money works. It never taught us how to grow food, build wealth, or question power. Instead, we learned obedience, time clocks, silence, and how to take orders. Ancient knowledge about energy, consciousness, nature, and self-mastery, was completely removed. The more I research, the more I believe public education was never about liberation. It was about shaping compliant workers to fuel a system we were never […]

A Tale Of Two Shadow Dockets
In the span of seventy-two hours, the Supreme Court decided two cases on the emergency docket. First, by a 7-2 vote, in A.A.R.P. v. Trump, the Court issued an injunction against the “government” to block the removal of a “putative” class of aliens. It did all this even though neither the District Court nor the Fifth Circuit had ruled yet. In fact, had the Supreme Court waited a few more minutes, it would have had an actual decision […]
