My plan is to live a reasonable life and treat the state like I treat violent weather. If I happen to have the misfortune of drawing the attention of the state, then yes, your sugg…

What does it matter? The state certainly isn't going to throw up its hands and say "you got us". They're still going to try to make it out to be your fault and even if you do succe…

This piece was better than I anticipated. Much of it has been said before of course, but the Minsky framing was novel enough to me. I think the author is a bit late even. What is T…
