Teller Reveals His Secrets:
Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.
AVI: Is the whole Bible "the word of God"?
I tend to see it as AVI does, but we might be in the minority. Anyway, not a question I worry about.
Nashville: Can Zoning Save a Downtown?
Seems to me that downtown Nashville had a great opportunity to eliminate all zoning, and see what happened. People might actually, with freedom, provide things that people want. After all, the government, in its infinite planning wisdom, razed almost the entire historic downtown in "urban renewal," aka "urban death."

Another Religious Unemployment Compensation Case
The big news in this century has been the growing Asian-white test-score gap at the high end.
There are several reasons why the educated people of Charles Murray’s fictional Belmont don’t convey their better values to others and don’t judge others who fall short.

Capitalism: All economic systems require capital
Yep. Just a question of whether free markets, or politicians, or dictators, or oligopolies control it and its movement. As a freedom-oriented person, I prefer free markets as the best representation of human interests.

In 1995, shortly after it was privatized, only 16 million people used the Internet world-wide.

Net access, especially through mobile devices, is improving the human condition more quickly—and more fundamentally—than any other technology in history. Nowhere is this more true than in the developing world, where unfettered Internet technologies are expanding economies and raising living standards.
The UN regulations sound to me like a solution in search of a problem, and that's one thing organizations excel at.
N. Korea agrees to freeze nuclear programs for U.S. food aid
We are giving them free stuff so they don't threaten us with nukes? Is that called "foreign policy"? I term it blackmail. They have no food because of their own psychotic policies. Aid only prolongs their control.

Bobby Jindal Pulverizes Obama's Failing Energy Policy
