Junk Science
December 26, 2020

The actor James Woods, playing a police captain in a TV series some years ago, once declared (I quote from memory): “You’d think being right when everyone around you is wrong would get old. But you know what? It doesn’t!” Watching the ludicrous left being ludicrously wrong gives me a similar feeling.

This story in Junk Science reviews 10 predictions for climate disasters in 2020 where the climate just wouldn’t play along. We might as well laugh. What else can one do when reading about how the only things quietly disappearing from Glacier National Park are the signs warning that the glaciers will disappear?

TikTok’s Influence on Global Affairs

The U.S. House of Representatives recently demanded social media platform TikTok divest itself of its Chinese ownership. But the danger goes far beyond China’s antagonism towards the United States, writes Cole S. Aronson in the Jewish Review of Books. TikTok is actually a tool of malign “political influence” in numerous global conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war.

Finding Opportunity in the College Crisis

Bemoaning the woeful state of public higher education only goes so far, write Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane in Law & Liberty. Rather than just complaining, the authors see a welcome opportunity to return colleges to their original purpose of educating students by reining in DEI mandates, busting hidden cartels and encouraging real competition.

The New Drug Supply Reduction Act

In City Journal, Joel Zinberg reflects on U.S. President Joe Biden’s boastful claims about the impact of drug-price controls in his Inflation Reduction Act. Zinberg examines the real effects of clamping down on drug prices, which include fewer new life-saving products coming to market and an ever-larger federal bureaucracy stifling the pharmaceutical industry.

AI Transformation

Rachel Lomasky ventures a thoughtful exploration of the future of artificial intelligence. Writing in Law & Liberty, Lomasky suggests AI’s trajectory is promising, with many benefits for creativity and productivity. Despite AI’s complicated and numerous social implications, Lomasky proposes that we would be mistaken to extrapolate that ominous trajectory too far.
