“Us being able to tell other people what they can and can’t say, that’s our power.” Wow. Interesting.

“Eggs are Expensive” with a new cover
The good folk at Canon Press have added Eggs are Expensive, Sperm is Cheap to their Canon+ collection.
We need an independent government corruption committee
Accusations fly all over the place, left and right. Obama sent the IRS after his enemies. Trump did the same. Biden is compromised by Hunter’s deals with China. Etc.
And almost nobody believes the investigations, which are usually just partisan witch hunts.
We have a situation where we know for certain there’s a lot of bad stuff going on, and sensible people have no confidence in anyone’s ability to get to the bottom of it, or to report on it truthfully.
This is a recipe for disaster and collapse. We have to have a decent level of confidence that our system works, and that it’s fair. But partisanship has infected everything. Nobody trusts the news. Nobody trusts Congressional investigations. Nobody trusts the Department of Justice.
Nor should they.
How do we create an independent, trustworthy organization to monitor and combat corruption? If we don’t figure that out soon, I think the country is in a very bad way.

I like this quote.
The entire episode recalls a prescient observation in a 1995 article by the great psychological anthropologist Roy D’Andrade: “Isn’t it odd that the true enemy of society turns out to be that guy in the office down the hall?”
Although it’s never just the guy. It’s the guy plus his minions who participate in his bullying tactics.
Jordan Peterson’s courage
“It’s less risky to say something than to remain silent when you know there’s something to be said.”
That contradicts what I said before about leaving LinkedIn liberals alone.
Where’s the line?
On the one hand, you can’t win when you argue with a fool. On the other, all that’s necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
