Michael Bloomberg—Capitalist or Leftist—Woke Capitalism by Michael Rechtenwald
“Notice that the Democrats haven't cancelled Michael Bloomberg. If he were other than a Democrat, he'd be finished. But the Democrats have no problem with their own oligarchs, misogynists, sex offenders, tyrants, or fascists. Only those of the *other* side are a problem. And ironically, they overlook the fact that the majority of offenders are on their own team. There are exceptions of course to this overlooking (e.g. for sex offenders there's Harvey Weinstein), but they tend to keep them as well hidden as possible. Being a leftist covers a multitude of sins. Bloomberg is a leftis... more »
"The Roots of Our Partisan Divide"
That's the title of a long and very interesting article by Christopher Caldwell. Basically, he argues that a culture of "civil rights" has usurped, and threatens to overthrow (and may perhaps *already* have overthrown) the constitutional foundation of our republic. I'm going to quote from it at some length, in an attempt to capture the essence of his argument. But it is a third strand of the story, running all the way down to our day, that is most important for explaining our partisan polarization. It concerns how the civil rights laws of the 1960s, and particularly the Civil Ri... more »
Carbon capture has nothing to do with trees; not a trillion trees, not even 1 tree

The Democratic Establishment Freak-Out
*That depends on what you mean by "Democrats"* That there is a Stop Bernie movement among the Democratic Party leaders instead of a Stop Republican Oligarch Michael Bloomberg Movement tells you all you will ever need to know about the Democratic Establishment. As a cohort, they are less than worthless. Joe Biden was their anointed Jeb Bush for the 2020 election cycle.

On History And Philosophy
The purpose of history is to narrate events through which the cultures have evolved. The purpose of philosophy is to make the historical events understandable by demonstrating their inevitability and necessity, and revealing their impact on the present and their implications for the future. Without history, there can be no philosophy. Without philosophy, history will have no significance. A compelling narration of history is a necessary condition for the development of good philosophy.
