  • ‘The Intellectuals and Socialism’

    George Rebane F.A. Hayek was one of the world’s foremost economists and a giant among the original thinkers of the 20th century.  In this post I want to interest readers in his ideas and works with a short discussion of one of his small and often overlooked monograms – The Intellectuals and Socialism – published…

  • AI in the Medium and Message

    George Rebane Argentina’s president Javier Milei delivered an important speech at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  In it he described the history of Argentina’s tragic descent from being one of the world’s leading developed countries, enjoying the fruits of free market capitalism, to a nation today with a destitute and chaotic economy…

    George Rebane Idiots on parade. ‘Court allows New York to ban guns in sensitive places’ (here)  None of these idiots understand that 1) mass shooters don’t care a crock about such prohibitions, 2) such prohibitions have never reduced the frequency of mass shootings, and 3) mass shooters take comfort in knowing where law abiding citizens…

  • ‘Judaism and the Left’

    George Rebane Regular RR readers may recall the many posts in which I have questioned why so many people of the Jewish tradition continue to embrace all the various forms of collectivism – e.g. liberalism, socialism, communism.  This especially when all their acknowledged superior traits in the arts, sciences, and material wealth have been achieved…

  • Scattershots – 11nov23

    George Rebane ‘Biden Keeps the Billions Flowing to Iran’ details Joe Biden’s ongoing treachery to undermine America and its allies.  I am completely flummoxed as to why that treasonous asshole in the White House is not arrested immediately with House impeachment proceedings pending.  He is openly and actively aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of…

  • Ruminations – 7oct23 (updated 15oct23)

    George Rebane ‘Taking a Closer Look at the Vaunted Scandinavian Welfare States’ (here)  Here is a little wisdom for our leftwing readers who embrace ever more socialism based on their shared belief that it works in the Scandinavian countries.  Well not quite as this piece from the Mises Institute makes clear. Sacramento’s socialist sleazebags are…

  • Scattershots – 2sep23

    George Rebane ‘How the AI Revolution Will Reshape the World’ is an essay in the 1sep23 issue of Time that presents an excellent summary of how the advent of generative AI is launching “the greatest redistribution of power in history.”  Not only is this new wave of technology based on large language models sufficient to…

  • Russia’s Preventive Maintenance Crisis

    George Rebane Russians have always had a problem keeping their equipment in top operating shape.  This problem goes back to the days of Peter the Great who brought back the latest ship building technology from his trip to western Europe.  They subsequently built great stuff that inevitably had catastrophic breakdowns.  In modern times such public…

  • Ruminations – 12jul23 (updated 13jul23)

    George Rebane Estonia is also the most advanced nation in the integration and use of the internet in everything from commerce, industry, and the participation of its citizenry in governance.  Furthermore, the country is a leader in internet communication and the home of NATO’s institute for cyberwarfare.  It takes about 20 minutes on line to…

  • Ruminations – 8jun23

    George Rebane The long-anticipated destruction of the dollar is upon us.  Our Federal Reserve is preparing to follow the footsteps of the European Central Bank in their program to expand the use of digital euros.  The strong possibility is that government controlled/monitored digital dollars will replace coins and banknotes, currently still the only way to…
