  1. The enemy of liberty-minded democracy, is authoritarian bureaucracy. In liberty-minded democracy, epistemological strategies like free markets, free speech, free elections, free press, and the like are protected by government. Information flows into decisions where everyone's experience participates. In authoritarian bureaucracy, insufficiently informed experts credentialed by ideologically distracted institutions, wield coercive government power for financial gain, prestige, or simple desire to dominate others. History is replete with the disasters wrought by these clowns, the monstrous creation of Covid-19 and the disastrous reaction to its spread, being only the most recent. This cannot help but demoralize human beings subjected to it. Free us from the shackles of these petty bureaucrats, and we will come roaring back, building a civilization we can be proud of.
