Artificial Intelligence is Not an Existential Threat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I clearly remember the summer of 1970 when I was a 22-year-old Ensign in the U.S. Navy attending Nuclear Power School in preparation for assignment to a nuclear powered submarine. In one of the classes our instructor told us about the “China Syndrome.” This was clearly exaggerated speculation about what would happen should there be a reactor meltdown. The story was that the reactor core, deprived of cooling water, would congeal into a ball of radioactive, superheated metal that would burn throug
NFL Football is a Lot Like Social Media (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 NFL season is about to begin and I’m thinking I should organize a class action lawsuit. It’ll be all us old geezers addicted to watching football suing the National Football League.

This was intentional because they understood the hazards of direct democracy and in particular of “factions.” James Madison defined faction in Federalist #10:By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the
The Myth of Israeli Genocide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Claims by the Left that Israel is guilty of genocide during its war with Hamas have become laughable. Noah Rothman at National Review writes that using the term “genocide” has become a litmus test for leftist candidates and office holders by which they declare their fealty to the radical Democratic Socialist agenda. Whether or not actual genocide — the attempt to exterminate an entire race or category of people — has been committed or even attempted is almost beside the
