Read excerpt
There is a circus rolling through the public square this week, and its ringmasters are Silicon Valley executives.If you’ve read the articles or watched the media roundtables, you may have heard the breathless sermon coming from the pulpit of the high priests of modern capital:“The machines have slipped out of their leashes! AI is taking over!”Don’t worry, everyone will soon be peddling this same Hollywood-style narrative.They want<spa
How to Dismantle a Constitutional Republic in 4 Easy Steps! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Political decay rarely looks cinematic while it is happening. In movies, dictators storm capitals with tanks and grandiose fanfare.

Read excerpt
Ah, nostalgia! Constantly peddled to us as a warm blanket, but go ahead, dig up that old childhood journal sometime; you’re likely to find a live minefield instead. Last year, I did just that. I found myself blowing the dust off a spiral notebook from my adolescence.
