The new race term DLC just dropped. Is there a way I can opt out of this? Can I just refer to people by their names? Can we all just be Americans? At what point do we just recognize this all as silly and cut this foolywang out?

When is the Left going to realize that capitalism is the best thing that ever happened to the working class? And that patriotism is what gives the working class a sense of identity? persuasion.community/p/khanna?utm_s…

Reverse CBT is a perfect way to put it. I used a similar analogy in my book "From Poverty to Progress." I believe that an objective study of progress is the functional equivalent of CBT at scale. frompovertytoprogress.com/from-poverty-t…

It is shocking that anybody in America, much less the party of the ACLU, needs to be reminded that freedom of speech protects all speech, not just speech approved by the Elect. And yet that’s very much where we are.

My latest in the Washington Examiner: a review of Michael Magoon's "From Poverty to Progress." A wide-ranging read filled with insights. "Rather than flowing down from politics and government, progress bubbles up from society," he notes. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/from-p…

There are many Substacks that write about progress - an antidote to doomscrolling-induced depression and learned helplessness & the resulting fatalism, cynicism, & sometimes radicalism. open.substack.com/pub/frompovert…
