“ is wrong even if you’re not sure what will happen to the slaves if they’re set free. Asking for “examples” of free slaves thriving is irrelevant.” Larken Rose.
Just making a backup, because this quote seemed very cool to me.
(I actually found this because I was looking for a definition of “beltarian”. This was one of the first non-Rockwell/EPJ links that came up because of the comment:)
I think the better description for the Economist is “Beltarian”. They sound libertarian, but really aren’t. I’m a libertarian and stopped reading the Economist years ago because of their support for interventionist (i.e. not libertarian) policies.
For most of his career, Steven Jones, a Brigham Young University physics professor, was known mainly for his work on muon-catalyzed fusion. He conducted his Ph.D. research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (from 1974 to 1977), and post-doctoral research at Cornell University and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.
In the fall of 2006, amid controversy surrounding his work on the collapse of the World Trade Center, he was relieved of his teaching duties and placed on paid leave from BYU. He retired on October 20, 2006 with the status of Professor Emeritus.
In the clip below, he talks about how he became a conspiracy theorist and what happened to his career.
This morning, or afternoon, I wake up and come across this posted from the Mises FB page; The Pagan View…really? As if it’s not enough to use such a vague and broad blanket term like “pagan,” but to have the audacity to write such an article as if one understands the said world view of whatever pagan religion they seem to be critiquing. Sitting here as a “pagan” it’s a bit frustrating and I feel it’s on a level of intellectual dishonesty; but seeing how the original article was written in 1943 I don’t know who to “bitch” at. Why couldn’t they title the article “The Religious View” at least? Do “non-pagans” belief in faith, i.e., Christians? I left a comment on the article and it seems a few people share the same view; that the article is…embarassing.
Yesterday the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the first new US nuclear reactor in more than 30 years. Finally. Irrational, technophobic fears of modern scientific developments belong into churches, not public policy. If everything those statists approve of was as safe as nuclear power, earth would have like 20 billion people.
Bert, did you post your comment in the comments section? You should.
Yeah, and before I even raised concern there were some others posting comments with the same sentiment that it was a rather poor quality article and the author has no knowledge of what he’s writing about - it’s pretty much a big strawman with nothing to back it up.
