Alan Boyle interviewed him on stage on Tuesday afternoon. Here’s the transcript.
What he said may have been new concepts to many, but they’re all ideas that go back decades. The difference is that he’s funding them himself, and not waiting for the government to do it.
What happens when you send a philosopher to Congress. Morons like Barbara Boxer are shown to be morons.
Bob Zimmerman has some thoughts.
