Media for the Cognitively Illiterate

Grow Up, America
I published this article on 9/12/01, under the title “9/11: The Day America Grew Up.” Let’s hope this is what future historians write about yesterday’s events. If not, we won’t be here—and won’t deserve to be: September 11, 2001, was … Continue reading

Ayn Rand Wrote About 2023 in 1957
It’s official. Back in 1957, Ayn Rand was writing about America and the world of 2023. With stunning accuracy. It wasn’t psychic power. It was a grasp of the logical power of philosophical ideas — specifically, the toxic ideas now … Continue reading
The British Baking Show Succumbs
I love the British Baking Show. For years, it was a rare oasis where there was no politics; just fun and baking and a little competition. Even during the COVID lunacy, it was a chance to enter a nicer universe, … Continue reading
Parents: Full Responsibility, No Rights
A leftist federal judge says that state and local governments may not uphold the right of parents to determine what material or performances their children may or may not see. The media frames it as the individual rights of drag … Continue reading
