Question 39
Dr. Jordan Peterson has resigned from his tenured post at the University of Toronto. because "inclusion is demolishing education and business." His article in the National Post is worth the read, if you can get past the screaming.
“[a] nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”--JFK
Over the past three years, dozens of cities across the country have banned natural gas hookups in newly constructed buildings as part of a growing campaign to reduce carbon emissions from homes. This was done on ethical and scientific rationale; no--or probably not too many or certainly not countless--lobbyists were involved. So they switch to electric, which will come from...? And, as always, we will pay the extra price.
The essence of Capitalism is trade for mutual advantage. If the balance of trade is skewered toward the consumer, you have socialism and eventual collapse. If it is skewered away from the consumer to the sole advantage of the producer, you have the Pittsburgh Pirates. Note that both distortions result in shortages of quality.
The challenge of learning to live with Covid was always going to be that many ordinary people don’t want to feel the sacrifices they made—and supported at the time—were in vain. This very important point was raised by the WSJ.
Fauci’s wife Christine Grady is head of bioethics for the National Institutes of Health, so don't worry.
Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. Only 27% of all voters – including just 14% of Republicans and 18% of unaffiliated voters – favor criminal punishment of vaccine critics.
Peggy Noonan wrote, on Biden's Georgia speech: 'The speech itself was aggressive, intemperate, not only offensive but meant to offend. It seemed prepared by people who think there is only the Democratic Party in America, that’s it, everyone else is an outsider who can be disparaged.'
What the speech implied was that there was a true, core political position that could be opposed only by stupid or malicious outliers, people who deserved only venom. Deplorables. A party afraid of the people. See above.

Are they saying they want to criminalize dissension? If so, how many things are so well proven that opposition is criminal? Would they consider, say, dialectic materialism or the 1619 project as so obviously true as to demand suppression of dissent?
If Relativity and Quantum Theory are incompatible, can we always follow the science?
