( a free subscription to anyone who can name the two gentlemen in the silly hats without resorting to Google, Perplexity or asking Grandad. Answers in the comments.)Commerce can operate in well-worn patterns or there can be various levels of discovery involved. The process of active discovery is entrepreneurship. This need not be commercial. It makes perfect sense to talk of political entrepreneurs.

For my sins—in 1991—I spent a year on the University of Queensland Student Union Council. Yes, I was elected, which means I was a volunteer. It ranks up there among the more pointless activities I’ve undertaken. I was 19, that’s my excuse. Because I’m conscientious, I took it seriously. I turned up to the monthly meetings. I researched the motions to be debated and voted on in advance. I tried to say not-stupid-things when I thought it was worth making a comment.

Despite—in some ways because of—all his Theorising about “capitalism”, Marx made no serious attempt to understand the actual dynamics of commerce, creating a (false) theory of economic parasitism (“surplus value”) that—both predictably, and in practice—motivated mass murder.

This is the forty-fifth piece in ’s series of essays on the strange and disorienting times in which we live. This article can be adumbrated thusly: DEI, anti-disinformation laws, and pushes to decolonise demand deference to spurious expertise, because to possess dominion capital is to enjoy automatic authority to judge. Meanwhile, Arnold Kling responded to Lorenzo’s previous essay over at his place. The publication schedule and links to all Lorenzo’s essays are available here.

A continuing series. Below are links to further posts on my Substack. My posts on Helen Dale’s Substack are linked to at the end of this post. July 2023I did a post on the deep evolutionary roots of the role of human fathers as providers, how fatherhood is a cultural creation, and the modern shift away from households being units of production to being primarily units of consumption. August 2023I had a Zoom chat with Arnold Kling’s paid subscribers. It was fun to do.

Ever had people petitioning your publisher to pull your book? Check. Ever had people try to get you sacked for your views? Check. Ever had people deluge you with abuse over something you’ve written? Check. And because you don’t frighten easily, you’ve responded to them with the single digit rampant? Check. I’ve had all the above, and more.
