Tulsi Gabbard introduces bill that ties Title IX protections for female athletes to ‘biological sex’
I see two separate issues here. On one hand, I don’t think anyone has a human right or civil right to have their sports leagues funded by the federal government, particularly considering that both sports and education are crony-capitalist/state-capitalist institutions as much as anything. As I said elsewhere […]

Peter Zeihan – Interview about Vaccines and the US Presidential Election
According to Zeihan, Democrats greatly improved their performance among the military, business interests, and fiscal conservatives, while the Republicans improved their performance among labor unions and Hispanics.

The Country with Zero COVID deaths
An interesting aspect of the pandemic has been the way so many left-leaning anarchists and libertarians have uncritically embraced the proclamations of “experts,” apparently forgetting the Frankfurt School critique of scientism and the Foucauldian critique of the therapeutic state.

Vanguards and Paternalism
By Benjamin Franks Paternalism has long been a contentious subject in moral and political philosophy.
