My occasional musing on life, love, and the cosmos, by my own lights, and tilted at my love of music and a worldly pursuit of wisdom, joy, and meaning. I see the world as infected by monkish faith in crazy, cockamamie intellectual viruses. I find in the Objectivist stream and the economics of Mises an antidote to this insanity, and deep explanatory power for why Homo saps do such weird and wonderful things. Music should make us swoon and inspire awe! My aesthetics cheer Beauty and seek Uplift.

Bracing for the Impact of the Election

Bracing for the Impact of the 2024 Election

Eric Paul Nolte

I was an airline pilot for 35 years. We were trained to handle every kind of emergency, and if a crash landing became inevitable, we were to be sure to warn the flight attendants and passengers, a moment before contacting the earth.

We were to get on the PA system and tell everybody, "Brace for impact! Brace for impact!"

This is how I feel about our impending election votes tomorrow, no matter which way the election turns out:

Brace for impact! Brace for impact!
