empirical politics

By Hal Canary

“I advocate an empirical politics, an anti-ideological politics. We should find the right questions, then gather the data, then structure society based on what works, according to the data.” —Luke Muehlhauser (source)

MLP: SXSW to MPAA: STFU

By Hal Canary

“That was in the contract you agreed to when you bought the DVD.” I agreed to nothing!

Think about this: I can go to the store and buy a five inch reflective disc that holds digital media. If that disc is a music CD, I can pop it in my computer, encode it, put it on my iPod, and listen to it whenever I like. But if that disc is a movie DVD, I cannot, even though the same iPod is perfectly capable of playing the same digital content that I own just the same.

the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world

By Hal Canary

America is in a special predicament due to a set of unfortunate choices we made as a society in the twentieth century. Perhaps the worst was to let our towns and cities rot away and to replace them with suburbia, which had the additional side effect of trashing a lot of the best farmland in America. Suburbia will come to be regarded as the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world. It has a tragic destiny. The psychology of previous investment suggests that we will defend our drive-in utopia long after it has become a terrible liability.

libertarians and statists and terrorists interact with each other in a way that might be quite stable

By Hal Canary

Here’s a scary thought.

Speaking as an observer who has many friends with libertarian instincts, I would point out that terrorism is a much more formidable opponent of political liberty than government. Government acts almost as a recruiting station for libertarians. Anyone who pays taxes or has to fill out government paperwork develops libertarian impulses almost as a knee-jerk reaction. But terrorism acts as a recruiting station for statists. So it looks to me as though we are headed for a triangular system in which libertarians and statists and terrorists interact with each other in a way that I’m afraid might turn out to be quite stable.

Knowledge is power…for real.

I rediscovered this a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for something fun to watch in my collection of downloads. It’s called Heat Vision and Jack and can be got via Bittorrent here.
