“Once entrepreneurial success arrives, few recall the risks, ridicule, failed ventures, sleepless nights, and near-disasters that came before.” (06/24/26)

“On Monday, Alan Greenspan died at age 100. The former Federal Reserve Chair spent eighteen and a half years at the helm of the central bank from 1987 to 2006—a total of five terms under four presidents. As with any death of a prominent figure, the news led many to reflect on Greenspan’s legacy and, in this case, debate how he stacks up with other Federal Reserve chairs. … this entire discussion is flawed. Because it rests on the false assumption that the Federal Reserve and all its intellectual backers in the political class can be taken at their word: that the Fed is an institution that is genuinely capable of and interested in bringing about a stable, growing economy, and, therefore, that a good Fed Chair is someone who simply manages the economy well. That is all a lie.” (06/24/26)

“There is a contradiction at the heart of the G7’s new approach to critical minerals. When the Group of Seven closed its summit in Évian-les-Bains on June 17, it issued a statement insisting that these supply chains should be ‘governed by market principles.’ Yet almost every measure the alliance endorsed would put governments in charge instead.” (06/24/26)

“The man accused of killing several in Montreal before being shot dead by police wrote a manifesto. Somewhat unfortunately, it wasn’t completely insane. I cannot, of course, endorse his ultimate conclusion. He takes Jordan B Peterson a step further. Rather than leaving vague how we’re going to enforce monogamy, our shooter asks his fellow men to follow his lead in taking up arms and doing enough terrorism to overthrow capitalism and replace it with a semi-Marxist state that will force women into lifelong monogamy with losers at gunpoint. That plan has a few problems. Among them (not even near the top) is that the vast majority of men who have the ability to plan and execute a successful terrorist attack do not have anywhere near enough trouble getting laid to seriously consider it.” (06/24/26)

“The closest thing we have in this country to a pandemic plan is called the Pandemic Action Crisis Plan or PanCap. It remains the prevailing unclassified document. It posits stay-at-home orders, school closures, business shutdowns, office closures, travel restrictions, testing, track-and-trace, and the creation and distribution of countermeasures called vaccines. … This approach has no precedent in the long history of public health. The old way was to keep calm, understand the illness, treat those affected, and use rational approaches to mitigate the impacts. The new way invented in 2005 is about command and control, pretending to manage the microbial kingdom like an engineering project.” (06/24/26)
