common-sense made theory
The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing with everyone else?
teacher children teaching
Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.
self-esteem ignorance people
People used to say, "Ignorance is no excuse." Today, ignorance is no problem. After all, you have "a right to your own opinion" - and self-esteem to boot.
media differences people
If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.
vision evidence mundane
Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.
leadership successful years
When a highly successful leader retires after a long career, it is very unlikely that his successor will be of comparable caliber. Anyone of similar ability and drive would have gone somewhere else, instead of waiting in the wings for years for a chance to show his own leadership.
winning civilization battle
If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.
have-faith evidence
We don‘t have faith that #freedom works. We have evidence.
economics concerned
Economics is concerned with what emerges, not what anyone intended.
political sense-of-humor ifs
You have to have a sense of humor if you follow politics. Otherwise, the sheer fraudulence of it all will get you down.
track worry political
Our economic problems worry me much less than our political solutions, which have a far worse track record.
diversity important liberty
The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.
ignorance average people
People who are very aware that they have more knowledge than the average person are often very unaware that they do not have one-tenth of the knowledge of all of the average persons put together. In this situation, for the intelligentsia to impose their notions on ordinary people is essentially to impose ignorance on knowledge.
race ethnicity color
Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
