Elon and His Inquisitors

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Their entire system is built to neutralize the people who disrupt.

The result: where we should have 15 to 20 universal geniuses alive at the same time, we have one.

Just one.

And you want to put him in prison.

You summon him before judges, you raid his offices, you insult him morning, noon and night, you dream of breaking up his companies. The man who lands rockets vertically and wants to take humanity to Mars.

You're disgusting.

History won't remember your names. It remembers Galileo, not the inquisitors who tried to silence him.

The last time I replied to a phone message from my health insurance company - a message described as "important" - I got to speak to a very nice man in India who connected me to my local pharmacy so I could refill a prescription that was already being refilled.

Forty years ago, there were no lawsuits over hot coffee. Such claims were tossed out long before a jury was selected because judges acted as gatekeepers. Today, judges are reluctant to take on this role; they act more like referees. Any claims that can make it over a low threshold of conceivability can go before a jury.

First Paragraph

The grocery store on Uhuru Avenue (formerly Queensway) was owned by Sam Fong, a Chinese immigrant. They called him an immigrant; actually he had lived in East Africa longer than the Prime Minister, who was an African. But to be a Chinaman in a country of seven million Africans is not easy: you stand out; the East cannot save you; you remain a visible immigrant all your born days and so do your children, and so do theirs.

- From Fong and the Indians by Paul Theroux

In addition to preparing several drafts of a Substack essay, there was the surprisingly enjoyable chore of going through several years of The New Criterion and ripping out articles I want to save.

There were quite a few.

It's a great publication.

White Guilt: European Style

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 18:56:28 +0000

Elsewhere, the (British) Library said that although the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge had expressed antislavery views himself and had recorded those views in his poetry he was on the blacklist nonetheless because he was recorded as having a nephew who lived in Barbados and worked closely with estates where there were slaves. The sins of the father is a familiar problem, but the sins of the people known to the nephew is a new form of associative guilt.

- Douglas Murray, The War on the West
