 Thanks for dropping by the old posting grounds, home for scribbling, sharing and podcasting for many, many moons. Some may remember the Libertas Media Project, a well-intended, severely under-funded, Nice Thought Before It's Time. Several close friends contributed generously to its success. Unfortunately, even with "celebrity" participation and podcasting before podcasting was cool, LMP couldn't make the leap. My sincere thanks to everyone who pitched in. But not all is lost! Enter Substack - a relatively new platform for writers, creators, and "influencers" to post provocative, compelling material. The depth of talent is astounding! And I say that despite the fact TPTB permitted me to begin Brianwilsonwrites  over a year ago. How long "Now This..." will remain at these coordinates, I leave to the IT Dept (Mrs. Wilson),  responsible for everything good that appeared here. For now and the foreseeable future, click the link and join the band of rabb...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the digital age, revolutionizing various aspects of our lives. AI’s impact is profound and multifaceted, from personalized recommendations to autonomous vehicles. However, this technological marvel has its challenges, especially when it intersects with civil rights and government surveillance. Here’s a ‘Compare and Contrast”, acknowledging the advantages of AI with the potential dangers posed by intrusive monitoring of private citizens. The Advantages of AI Efficiency and Automation AI systems excel at repetitive tasks, freeing mere mortals from mundane chores. Whether it’s automating customer service inquiries or streamlining supply chain logistics, AI enhances efficiency. Chatbots handle routine queries, allowing human agents to focus on complex issues. AI-driven robots assemble products precisely, reducing errors and production time. Personalization AI algorithms analyze vast datasets to tailor experiences. From p...

  A reunion (of sorts) with Tom DiLorenzo , newly installed President of the   Mises Institute . If you always believed Economics was the “dismal science,” you’re in for a necessary and pleasant surprise. Understanding America’s tenuous financial and economic state of affairs was never more important. When you’re $35 trillion in debt, you better be paying attention—with comprehension and solid information. Tom gives a perfect overview of the Mises Institute, economics, and why both are vitally important to us right now.  Below are links to the books and authors we discussed.   Economics in One Lesson  (Henry Hazlitt) What Has the Government Done to Our Money  – (Murray Rothbard - FREE!) The Law  – (Frederick Bastiat) How Capitalism Saved America  (Tom DiLorenzo) Road to Serfdom   (F.A. Hayek) The Politically Incorrect Guide to Economics  (Tom DiLorenzo) Thomas DiLorenzo is president of the  Mises Institute . He is a former professor...

  Admit it. America’s tachometer has red-lined. Anger, hatred, and frustration have reached that point where the engine of society is about to blow. Why? Pick your poison: The double standard of Lawfare, the gaping Southern border, violent immigrant crime, inflation, subsidizing endless wars and foreign countries, campus riots, urban decay, failed public education, biased media – there’s more than one thing for everyone. Thanks to the exponential over-reach of the federal government, every issue can be nailed to the front door of Congress, the White House and the Supreme Robes. The corrupt and biased media is in a classlessness all its own. What has happened to the rule of laws that held the guilty responsible and punished accordingly? While citizens have become aware of the quick fade of veracity in campaign promises, the highest levels of elected officials now lie on TV with impunity; assurances to the public to maintain a principled stand are contradicted live on C-Span....
