"When God entered the world, it was through a poor Jewish carpenter, in order to humble all the kings and princes of Earth; when Science enters the world, it’s through Swiss patent clerks, or Hungarian women from third-tier colleges, for the same reason."https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/movie-review-dont-look-up?fbclid=IwAR3NJIycWkY7iw-uE1Aw3H20nUeMGg47piw_4QreASsYBqhxrQs-AR0B6xU …

If they say, “Hardly anyone wins cases using such evidence,” you can counter, “Well, then what’s the harm?” If they say, “We can’t win cases without such evidence,” you can counter, “Then your cases sound pretty bogus.”https://www.econlib.org/a-discriminating-exception/ …

"A free speech exception highlights the sheer pettiness of many discrimination cases. If you can’t make your case without lamenting on-the-job jokes, you don’t have much of a case, do you?"https://www.econlib.org/a-discriminating-exception/ …

"Create an ironclad free speech limitation: 'Expression of political opinions or jokes by co-workers, managers, or owners are Constitutionally protected free speech & can never be treated as evidence of discrimination or a hostile workplace environment.'"https://www.econlib.org/a-discriminating-exception/ …

"Existing discrimination law, similarly, evades Supreme Court rulings forbidding governments from punishing job-related speech. How? By giving private parties the right to sue job providers for offering free speech."https://www.econlib.org/a-discriminating-exception/ …

"Government will not accept “No” as your final answer. You can hide, you can weasel, you can even get a lawyer. Still, if you stubbornly and openly refuse to obey the government, it will probably kill you."https://www.econlib.org/escalation-and-obedience/ …

"Escalation. If you really pay attention, that’s the standard mechanism of government coercion. You can break most of the laws most of the time. But once you’re on the government’s radar, they keep ramping up the punishment until you back down."https://www.econlib.org/escalation-and-obedience/ …

"Each time they ask, they escalate. The first pseudo-polite 'request' becomes a stern order. Then they start threatening to report you to the authorities. I’ve seen the situation reach this level more than once."https://www.econlib.org/escalation-and-obedience/ …

"Until you board the plane, the punishment is simply: An authority orders you to put on your mask. Once they’re out of sight, you can safely remove your mask until another authority orders you to put on your mask."https://www.econlib.org/escalation-and-obedience/ …
