Upturned Earth

“… to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration.” – George Orwell

Pantheism Alert!

Poulos is going to have a field day when he gets back.

Capitalism the Creator

The Mises Circle goes to Seattle to address contemporary issues in liberty, and the role of capitalism as the main force for every form of progress in our age. We live amidst its fruits — technology, culture, philanthropy, human well being — and have yet to appreciate the source. Indeed, among the most passionate opponents of the free market are those who have benefitted most enormously from it. Here we have a profound failure of understanding at work.

Umm, yeah.

And then, toward the end of that David Brooks column that everyone’s been talking about, we are treated to this gem:

Fourth, God can best be conceived as the nature one experiences at those moments, the unknowable total of all there is.

Sigh. Let me just state emphatically that this is not the variety of pantheism I was out to defend.
