Centrist. Historian and Economist. Advocate for science, democracy, humanity, and decency. 'Critical theory' sceptic; thus a bugbear of the Left.

A followup from a few years ago. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has publicly admitted to Congress that indeed, FB censored posts sceptical of the ''lab leak'' theory (since declared likely by both Biden and the FBI), and any scepticism (even humour) about lockdowns, and the

Sept 19th marked the one-year anniversary of Not Stolen. It's been quite a wild ride. Many of my historians' instincts tell me to tuck myself away in an archive, peacefully seeking facts to better illuminate the finer structures of history. But my instincts as a citizen, in

"Flipping through the pages and seeing all the rigorous work your contributors have done makes me proud to be Canadian. As much as I feel a bit ill seeing the historical misinformation my countrymen succumb to, your journal is a bright spot in all that." — From a Reader

In South Korea, during Covid, authorities were geo-tracking individuals via their phones. Throughout the world, we've had increasing numbers of ''unthinkable'' threats to democracy in the past few years. Some of us were saying: do not be so quick to applaud authorities who

A few weeks back, the audiobook version of Not Stolen appeared! Thanks to Ascend Audio for arranging this, and also to Paul Maitrejean for the magnificent narration. Meanwhile I have been hunkering down, finishing the new MS. More soon... Amazon.com: Not Stolen:

Ironically, "Progressives" who claim to care about the poor and disenfranchised should be on board with Trump's tariffs, since one aim is to protect American jobs and keep American wages higher. Unfortunately, Sanders was the last one who fought for the old "working class." New

With CNN apoplectic over anything Trump does, and Fox apoplectic over individual immigrants, it's so obvious, and so depressing to see, how the main American sites are intentionally whipping up hysteria to create hyperpartisan camps who hate the other side. Meanwhile on the

Violence against elected politicians is the epitome of anti- democratic behavior. It is the quickest path to tyranny. Democracy is founded on a single idea: people agree to eschew violence. Debate, and convincing people via reasoned argument is its lifeblood. Our societies

Migrant handouts--at too large a scale--break the social contract in a fundamental way. Elites seem clueless about this fact. Working people are told: go to school, work hard, show up to your job at 8am every single day for decades, pay taxes, don't complain or break the

By rejecting the virtues of assimilationism and colorblindness, by insisting on tribalism, fragmentation, and division, the "woke" have provoked a predictable reaction in those they sought to persecute and replace. What did they think would happen?

I only learned about this from the Greek Reporter. It's true that modernism is nihilist, rooted in Marxist structuralism, and contemptuous of public opinion. While traditional architecture is based on the golden section, and thus what humans instinctually see as beautiful and

I was a student Lefty in the 90s. It was standard to imply that Republicans and the US Government were "fascists." But no one--ever--advocated, let alone celebrated, the violent death of political opponents. The modern Left is rapidly becoming "uncivilized." I.e., unworthy

I left the Left when they started stating that to question them made you sub-human (racist, nazi, far right). You cannot be on the side of science if you can't tolerate good-faith criticism and debate. The essence of "wokeness" is that its dogmas cannot be questioned. There is
