Inaugurating an occasional feature in which people who can’t look anywhere but through their personal prisms are highlighted. Think of them as highly self-centered, perhaps, unable to view situations from other viewpoints.
First up is George Gilder:
So let’s stop pretending that our policies have been rational and need to be phased out, as if they once had a purpose. They should be reversed summarily and acknowledged to be a mistake, perpetrated by statisticians with erroneous computer models.
Perhaps then we can learn from this experience with the flaws of expertise not to shut down the economy again for the totally bogus “crisis” of climate change. [RealClearMarkets]
Meanwhile, there’s several thousand more people dead, world-wide, of this virus just today. Gilder is an economist who co-founded the Discovery Institute, an institution chiefly notable for advancing the ludicrous concept of Intelligent Design. He is also chairman of George Gilder Fund Management, LLC; presumably, unless he’s running a fund specializing in shorts, he’d prefer to see the economy up and running per normal.
