One of the most commonly heard complaints today—especially among young people—is that “capitalism doesn’t work anymore.” News flash: Capitalism isn’t supposed to “work” for anyone. Capitalism is not a benevolent uncle who guarantees everyone a house, a new car, two vacations a year, and dining out a couple of times a week. It is not […]

If you watch a lot of cosmos videos on YouTube like I do, you undoubtedly know that the universe has a public-relations problem. It advertises itself as unimaginably large and unfathomably old, but when it comes to intelligent life, it appears to have produced only one confirmed customer: the earthly human being. This is the […]

In The Republic, Plato warned that excessive political freedom can eventually produce disorder and tyranny. More precisely, he argued that an insatiable demand for freedom ultimately produces chaos, and that angry citizens are tempted to embrace a strongman who promises to restore order.

“Evil” is one of those words people use freely but rarely define. It is usually reserved for murderers, dictators, and assorted sociopaths who make no effort to conceal their contempt for human life. But the more interesting question is whether evil must involve cruelty or whether it can arise from something far more commonplace, e.g., […]

Communism is now the media’s topic du jour, which shows how desperate they are for something interesting to talk about. To a reasonably normal person with an IQ above 60, it’s hard to understand how anyone could seriously debate the pros and cons of a tried-and-failed ideology whose goal it is to control the masses.

Am I the only person on the planet who remembers Donald Trump saying, at the outset of the Iranian conflict, that the war would last two weeks, maybe three? Am I the only person on the planet who remembers Donald Trump saying “there are no more targets left to bomb?” Am I the only person […]
