You've probably heard about Americans fleeing blue states like CA for FL and TX. But this isn't new. I've dived into 40 years of GDP and population data and show it's been happening for generations. Here's how we know economic freedom is better.🧵 richardhanania.com/p/forty-years-…
The question no one is asking about the current protest movement: Why is it so gay? Top universities are selecting heavily on LGBT. Here's what it means for the future of elite institutions more generally. Welcome to the era of flaccid histrionics. richardhanania.com/p/too-gay-to-r…
Metaculus gives a 34% chance of China invading Taiwan by 2034. How worried should you be about World War III? I put the probability closer to 15%. Conquering Taiwan would be hard, and Xi era China is characterized by risk aversion. I explain here. 🧵richardhanania.com/p/china-doesnt…
"The economic critique central to RETVRN is simply wrong... I am sympathetic to the right-wing intuition that something has gone wrong... and would like to see economic misinformation tossed away so that people can focus more on negative cultural trends." richardhanania.com/p/the-promises…
I've written about out of control entitlement spending. It doesn't seem like there's much in the way of ideas to do something about it. I talk to Romina Boccia about how a debt commission might be what saves us at @CSPICenterOrg. cspicenter.com/p/debt-commiss…
Many reactionary policy ideas are dumb, but you're not crazy to think that people used to be better. I discuss the good and bad versions of RETVRN philosophy. Something like it is needed, but it can't be a Trojan horse for economic collectivism. richardhanania.com/p/the-promises…
****REVIEW OF IMMACULATE STARRING SYDNEY SWEENEY**** On Easter Day, few things can be more satisfying than seeing Sydney Sweeney destroy religious fundamentalists. Spoilers below. She's a confused girl named Cecilia from the suburbs of Detroit, who runs off to a convent in…
Romina Boccia joins the podcast to talk about the coming Social Security and Medicare crisis, and a debt commission as a possible way to move forward. cspicenter.com/p/debt-commiss…
Brian Chau joins Richard Hanania to discuss the dangers of AI regulation, and why it could become a hinderance to progress. cspicenter.com/p/the-threat-o…
How should you understand race in America? Both conservatives and liberals underestimate two key forces: our capacity for assimilation, and Black Nationalism. Only through this lens can one make sense of our politics and culture. richardhanania.com/p/america-has-…
There's a major effect of the Alabama IVF decision no one is talking about. It kills any chance the liberals who control medical institutions, etc will ever turn on biotechnology. Why future generations should build statues to affective polarization. richardhanania.com/p/thank-alabam…
You know social science is fake. But it's actually much worse than you think. Many of the problems aren't even solvable in theory. I wrote about why that is, and how one can develop healthy epistemological habits and a reasonable worldview anyway. richardhanania.com/p/epistemology…
Meritocracy was a guiding principle of the French Revolution and a justification for Napoleon’s regime. Richard Hanania talks to Andrew Roberts about his seminal biography. cspicenter.com/p/ideology-tra…
It's become trendy to self-diagnose one's self as "autistic." This always struck me as a kind of cultural appropriation, since Asperger's symptoms read like a case study of my life. I wrote about what it's like to have the real thing. richardhanania.com/p/the-autism-h…
Are we getting dumber? 🧵 cspicenter.com/p/are-we-getti…
Are humans getting dumber? @sebjenseb gathers data for 62 countries and finds that the less intelligent do indeed have more children This is a major issue in the developing world, but less in richer countries, with the US as an exception. cspicenter.com/p/are-we-getti…
There are at least four broad areas of public policy in which we favor the old over the young: government spending, credentialism, employment law, and housing. In each case, the pro-youth position is also the pro-growth position, so it's good to do these things anyway.
Critical Race Theory says that even if people aren't consciously intending to be racist, our systems are set up to favor whites over blacks in ways large and small. I believe this is true with regards to age. We can have a gerontocracy without gerontocrats.
Political and intellectual movements rely on narratives that try to explain the world and provide solutions to problems. I make the case for Critical Age Theory, the idea that many of our biggest problems can be traced to society privileging the old. 🧵richardhanania.com/p/critical-age…
Some argue that Palestinians can't make peace because they oppose Israel's right to exist. This is true, but even framing the argument like this is too optimistic. Palestinians are not only anti-Semitic, but lack the institutional capacity for peace. 🧵richardhanania.com/p/why-palestin…

Was just in Columbus to talk with @VivekGRamaswamy about civil rights law and how it restricts American freedom and facilitates wokeness. We discussed what a president can do to change things. Great to see such high enthusiasm around the campaign.
I talk to @Timodc about his experience as a NeverTrumper and what's happened to the GOP. We disagree on much, but arrive at the obvious conclusion that everything would've been fine if we'd all just listened to Jeb. cspicenter.com/p/right-wing-p…

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a wave of liberal imperialism in the West. In this essay, I explain what I mean by that, why I think it's bad and make the case for restraint in foreign policy. Here is a quick summary of the points I make 🧵 philippelemoine.substack.com/p/the-case-aga…
According to @McFaul, Putin doesn't really see NATO expansion as a threat and just pretends to be concerned about it to undermine Ukrainian democracy. In this post, I show that in order to make this argument, he relies on a partial and dishonest history. cspicenter.com/p/putin-nato-e…
That Giorgia Meloni video about French colonialism everyone has been getting excited about? It's from 2019, and more importantly, her understanding of the French colonial currency is way off. @phl43 provides some useful context at @unherd unherd.com/thepost/giorgi…
