This misreporting by @politico gets to the heart of the covid response disaster. If governments had not suspended free speech, and the media not abetted devastating takedowns of scientists for the crime of contradicting government scientists, so much harm could have been avoided.

America is not an all-star team. America is a country. With a native people. And a culture. And this, not your hypothetical all-star team, is what needs to be safeguarded. American is not special because it contains geniuses. America is special because the behavior of the average, non-genius heritage American creates a civilization where progress is possible. It is understandable for you to overvalue talent, because of everything you have built, and helped others to build. But you could only have built it in America. And that is not because of America's supply of geniuses. It because you can build here, without getting beaten to death with rocks for witchcraft. Without bribing eleventy-billion bureaucrats. Without being shut out of every opportunity because they have to be given to the Glorious Leader's third cousin. Without being killed by the preexisting elites simply so they can take your stuff. Need I belabor the point, or do you get the idea? Yes, Ayn Rand was directionally correct, but she didn't have the whole picture. The Great Work is not built by the Great Man. It is built by the Great Team, led by the Great Man, in the Permissive Place. Genius, even genius with drive, is helpless by itself. In all likelihood, the greatest mind in human history spent his life whacking at the dirt with a stick trying to make crops grow, and died at age 32 of a fever that could have been cured by five dollars and thirty-seven cents worth of antibiotics. Because he did not live in the Permissive Place. So, recruiting all-stars is not paramount. Because all-stars or geniuses, are not the bottleneck. Geniuses are everywhere. I know plenty of geniuses. Some of them are driving buses or coaching high school football. The permissive building environment is the bottleneck. When you try to make America into an all-star team, the inevitable result is you being required by law to kidnap and molest a seal. Because people are not generic, blank-slate talent-in-a-can. They bring their culture and values with them. As well as all their relatives. And yes, they will, in fact, vote for the left. Because cultural indoctrination trumps individual intelligence every damn time. They will vote for President Mamdani, and so will their wife and their brother and their cousin and their dear old mama who barely speaks English. They will believe the promises and they will vote for the takers. So you can't afford to bring them here, because without America, there is no Mars. Yes, I am fully aware that you wish to explain how I don't understand how difficult hiring is, how expensive payroll is, how urgent the need. The problem is that everybody else wants to use that same excuse. A basic rule of thumb for evaluating moral actions is the question "What would happen if everyone else did the thing I am doing right now?" Except we don't have to ask that question. Because we are living the answer.

This is essentially true. However, it is possible to filter for exceptional people from any country. The problem for the left is that exceptional people mostly won’t vote for them.

Read this Fauci diary entry closely. Officials would not admit the vaccine was not stopping spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates. That is not science. That is a cover-up to justify coercion.

August 13, 2022: we cannot admit that the shots don't work because that would undermine our policy to force people to get them.

@philosopherjstr @xwanyex Does that correspond with the level of criminality of those sub-groups?

@StanleyRidgley Self-loathing

@StanleyRidgley @FoxNews Conservatives aren't making it harder for progressives. Their policies are just that bad that, when the natural consequences come to light, people recoil.

To the leftists claiming Ceuta does not belong to Spain because it was taken in 1415 Are you going to tell the Turks to give Constantinople back to the Christians? Cos they took that in 1453

@DemzDeliver So...another mandatory jobs program. Idiots.

🚨You can feel the entire room tense the second Laurence Fox says he’s about to show a drawing of Mohammed. The Oxford Union goes dead quiet. People start interrupting. Someone’s already reaching for the rules. You can hear the intake of breath. They’re not just uncomfortable… they’re scared.

People act like one side of the line got assigned the good outcome and the other side of the line got assigned the bad outcome, when the reality is that both groups of people have it largely in their own control what kind of outcomes they produce

@_glorianas I genuinely think borders are inherently inhumane. It’s so crazy to me that you’re guaranteed a significantly better life if you live on one side of an imaginary line than someone on the other side of it.

Immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms with the fact that massive differences in living standards across the globe are not entirely random or in every case the result of an imposition or injustice, but are the results of varying levels of effort and ability

@Phiophills Well, David Hogg is a fucking moron so his comparison tracks.

@DamonLinker @varadmehta What justifies that? The answer lies in the banner of AAUP's profile.

I’m not scared. I think you guys will fail because your ideas are stupid and very, very, old and will fail wherever put into practice. Price controls are older than Christianity, for instance. Your Mao schtick is moronic and takes advantage of your fans’ ignorance. I think you’re a cosplaying radical kid of privilege and apologist for murderers and terrorists. But you’re not scary dude. You’re a poseur. I think it’s hilarious you streamed my comments to your easily duped fans.

If we take away just one lesson from the rise and fall of Dr. Fauci, let it be this: Never, ever budge on free speech. It is the linchpin of every other freedom because those in power are just as prone to error and falsehood as anyone else.
