  • Big Tech Violates Contracts, Not Free Speech

    Big Tech Violates Contracts, Not Free Speech0

    Liberals rarely defend the property rights of corporations, so it is quite amusing that scores of them are arguing that social media companies have the right to deplatform rogue actors. Unfortunately, by making free speech the crux of the argument conservatives have ceded the debate to liberals.  Instead, we should be asking ourselves if companies can arbitrarily

  • The Decline of the Art of Lying

    The Decline of the Art of Lying0

    We live in an era of unprecedently widespread lying. Yet lying itself, is an art—albeit an unadmirable one—in decline in a decadent age. Our leaders have set a spectacularly bad example.

    The Theology of Environmentalism Is Settled0

    “The science is settled” is a phrase often used to shut down debate. But perhaps the phrase would be more accurate if it was recast as “the theology is settled,” especially in relation to climate change, in which environmentalists pursue an aggressive response to remedying the apocalyptic consequences facing the earth.
