For the past several years, everyone from Sacha Baron Cohen to Elizabeth Warren to Donald Trump has advocated for strict new regulations on tech companies. But Florida’s new “Big Tech Bill” is not the solution it seems.

Reach the Heights You Dream Of
Jon Hersey May 28, 2021
Each of us is capable of reaching the heights we dream of, if only we learn to respect our own mind and values, to take them seriously, and to stand true to the principles that sanction and encourage it. Sadly, most never get a firm grasp of such principles. . .
Politics & Rights
A Woke New World
Michael Dahlen May 20, 2021
The social justice movement may appear noble because it ostensibly takes the right side of a legitimate issue. But this is a facade. The problem with the movement is that it illegitimately redefines basic concepts, trumpets false narratives, and peddles a toxic ideology. It projects a virtuous, shiny aura that masks a corrupt, rotten core.

Craig Biddle May 19, 2021

Ibsen’s Kingdom: The Man and His Works by Evert Sprinchorn
Timothy Sandefur May 14, 2021
“One of the most extraordinary features of Ibsen’s works,” Sprinchorn writes, is the way “each play grows out of its predecessor.” By examining them in order, he draws out their weightier elements, combining an acute understanding of theater and a thorough grasp of the political, social, and artistic controversies that set the background for Ibsen’s career.

Angelica Walker-Werth May 3, 2021

F. F. Mormanni April 29, 2021
Although fraudsters certainly exist on Wall Street, the vast majority of traders are honest, value driven, and focused on innovating and creating wealth.

A Private Rail Renaissance Percolates after Fifty Years of Amtrak Failures
Thomas Walker-Werth April 28, 2021
If America wants a world-class transportation system, it needs to let private businesses take the lead without hindrance. Governments’ attempts to centrally plan how people travel have failed dramatically. The solution is not further expansion of government control.
