Stop Making Fools Of Yourselves 'Most voters don’t care a fig about the costs of social programs, which they imagine will be paid out of someone else’s pocket. They want goodies and lots of them, especially for the “disadvantaged,” which, in their minds, include most of them.'
Reducing income inequality not so easily dismissed They don't mention it here, but actual income inequality is caused by the deflation of our currency because we insist on spending it on social entitlements and importing third world immigrants.
The end of pretend We have been pretending to be rich people while deferring our actual expenses to debt, meaning that we forever impoverish ourselves like ghetto dwellers buying their future at the check-cashing place.
Inequality -- Crisis or Scam Everyone's talking about inequality. It's how the left justifies itself: we should all be equal, some have more than others, thus let's take it.
No Moore? Is Moore's law dead? The bleeding edge has transferred to software, but not the stuff people are writing for the web. It's robotics, machine learning and swarm coordination.
Why I no longer contribute to StackOverflow Direct populist reward-based systems produce an incentive to create the trivial but create a bias against any more complex-problem solving. Why we have Twitter and not deep space travel.
Dumping irrationality as a national strategy American "moral" ideology demands Israelis do what is against their interests, and the non-zombified ones (e.g. not liberals) are refusing to obey.
Top 10 Retractions of 2013 Science is an industry of special interests controlling what gets published, not an infallible source of truth. The chattering masses haven't figured this out yet.
Corruption threatens "soul and fabric" of U.S.: FBI Older article, worth mentioning: while we like to think of ourselves as first world, the decay has caused enough collapse that corruption is everywhere, even in elections.

Letter from a cop. "[T]he violence that I am seeing toward our white population is absolutely directly correlated to the influx of Chicago based gangs moving to our community."
Redistribute wealth? No, redistribute respect. Instead of shuffling money around again, restore respect for manual and unskilled labor so that people don't feel a manic need to put on airs.
In pursuit of manly equality "These people don't think in military ways, so there's this illusion out there that people are basically nice, people are basically kind, if we're just nice and benevolent to everyone they'll be nice too. They literally don't have any sense of evil or criminality."
Keeping Your Doctor Under Obamacare Is No Easy Feat Socialization drives real care underground: "[A]mong the providers who declined to accept the lower rates were some of the state’s most prestigious — and expensive — hospitals"
