A good overview of the problem, from Marina Koren.
Bias And Dysfunction In Psychology and Academia
A Purpose-Driven Space Program
Bob Zubrin’s take on the stagnation in NASA human spaceflight.
As I’ve often said, if we don’t know why we’re doing something, it’s not possible to come up with a sensible way to do it.
The Coastal States
…are in the fight of their lives.
I hope, at some point soon, there will be a backlash in California. I don’t want to have to leave to be free.
BTW, I was in DC all week, but back now.
College
“We don’t talk about” it here.
I didn’t think much about college in high school, except to take courses like Latin, math, and science. I didn’t even take the SAT. I took a year off after graduation (with low grades), then went to community college. I think I did OK.

The Irresponsible Society
…is what Warren and the Democrats want to create.

It could be like selecting a ringtone.
