John Stuart Mill

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Warren Buffett's son using part of his fortune to fund a private border patrol in Arizona. The same people who were praising Buffett for saying his secretary paid more taxes than him are now upset on what his tax free foundation is paying for. That's funny!

- Jonathan Turley on the Hitchhiker's Guide to Government. Funny how Joe Biden's debate performance made use both think of the Douglas Adams quote.

- From the archives - John Stuart Mill as a science fiction writer. This could make a cool assignment for an AI platform.

- VDH on Ukraine and the Winter War 1939-1940. An important history lesson.

- The Media's Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden. (HT Execupundit)

- Marc Andreessen on the little tech agenda.
