A few words

Fresh malinformation

  • And Away We Go! “Jerry [Pournelle] saw it coming, and lived to see the beginning of SpaceX, but like Moses he saw the promised land but didn’t get to enter it.”
  • Turn Your Mind Off and Cough “There is an endless supply of ready-made headlines over which can gibber and wring our hands and blubber ‘What about the children!'”
  • “Communism > Capitalism” “It’s a hiring program for people incapable of finding a real job, dressed up as economic theory.”
  • The totalitarian spirit “The idea that society should be designed and controlled by the government has been an increasingly dominant view in the Democratic Party at least since Woodrow Wilson”
  • Manfesto: “Message: I Care” “Those people aren’t my representatives even in theory. They work for the state, and are self-selecting.”
