    On the lab leak possibility, one of the reasons that “trust the science and listen to the experts” is an inadequate theory of how to assess information.

    I hope all this is a lesson on the downfalls of credulity and group-think—even among smart people. People who *correctly* suggested that the required transparency, investigation and accountability were deeply lacking were branded as conspiracy theorists. That's how trust is lost.

    A lot going on this story, but it is striking that an administrator at a prominent law school would assert that a student's mere membership in a Federalist Society chapter is "triggering" or oppressive to other students.

    Based on leaked audio, this whole piece on Yale Law School's diversity/discrimination/harassment bureaucracy offers a rare peak behind the curtain of how this stuff works in practice -

    A federal misinformation agency is an unconscionably bad idea. Please just think literally one step ahead

    We do need an agency, but it should never be in charge of misinformation, and at least as summarizes it here, this would be wildly unconstitutional.

    US company LinkedIn now works as a censor on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, blocking my Axios colleague’s profile because of her critical reporting on the CCP. You should follow Bethany. She is a diligent, ethical reporter and we are lucky to have her at Axios.

    I woke up this morning to discover that LinkedIn had blocked my profile in China. I used to have to wait for Chinese govt censors, or censors employed by Chinese companies in China, to do this kind of thing. Now a US company is paying its own employees to censor Americans.
