- On the “Tyranny of Freedom”
"As the world begins to reopen, we should all take careful stock of the freedoms and liberties we have retained and ones we may have lost.

- Pathological and Parochial Altruism in the Age of Fear
"A healthy altruism already resides in the concepts of liberty, free markets, free trade, and exchanges that are beneficial to each individual.
