Lockhart's Top LaFonds Volume 91

Our hero has arrived safely in Penn's Wood, so look for new posts very soon!


I think we need to talk about the vaunted Athenian democracy and the parallels to our present social rot.

I would like to talk about the Science Fiction genre and how it reflects social changes.  Space age books are so full of hope and promise.  I don't read contemporary sci-fi, is any one writing like that anymore?

Nassim Taleb has observed that the name "Britain" comes the Phoenician word for tin.

How could unilateral, unprovoked violence be good?  It is educational!  A stranger must be regarded as an unknown, a potential enemy, and this instinct has nearly been bred out of us.

The more I think about it, all sorts of modern ills may be thought of as Christian heresies, including science, most technology, atheism, pacifism, vegetarian diets, and much more.

I don't think impeachment threats or procedures are going to harm Trump any more than Mueller's investigation did, a hampering inconvenience.  The fact that the deep state is still trying to take him out is proof that Trump still threatens them, and the fact that they continue to fail shows that they rely on the inertia of a system full of mediocre operatives clinging to their status rather than any great talent or ability or even will to power.
