Monopolies, advertising, and speech

March 28, 2021 By Andrei Radulescu-Banu

Here is an interview about censorship and social media (this is the old Section 230 discussion that I, for a long time, could not make sense of). You have to get past a (pardon me) sexual organ joke in the prelude. The URL above skips all … [Read more...]

The 2016 and 2020 Polls, and a Crisis of Social Trust

March 21, 2021 By Andrei Radulescu-Banu

The 2016 election polls showed Hillary Clinton beating Trump handily. This is an old story, but worth a closer look. David Shor spoke about this on the Bill Maher show. Shor is the shy, self effacing boy genius who entered college at 13, … [Read more...]

Farewell, NATO friends

April 5, 2020 By Andrei Radulescu-Banu

...It's been good when you had our back, but now, in #COVID times, it's America First. So get out of our way! President Donald, or his staff, or whoever, ordered 3M to stop shipping masks to Canada and Latin America, and hijacked a … [Read more...]
