- Doggerland: Europe’s Atlantis (youtube.com)
In this video we take a trip back in time to explore the infamous lost world of Doggerland. The sunken landmass between mainland Europe and the British isles. Once home to megafauna, the mammoth steppe and ancient humans, Doggerland would have been a rich complex world. Today we are going to explore they mysteries of this European Atlantis from its rise to its eventual apocalyptic collapse that some speculate was in part due to a tsunami. Join me on this walk back in time as we explore the histories, mysteries and real archaeology of Doggerland.
- The Education of a Libertarian (cato-unbound.org)
Peter Thiel shares the belief that politics is mostly futile, a conclusion he reached after years of activism. In particular, he believes that democratic politics is unlikely to bring about libertarian outcomes. Fortunately, politics is just one sphere of human life, and it’s possible, he argues, to create technologies that minimize its reach. Thiel describes a “deadly race” between politics and technology, in which human freedom is the prize. The goal of libertarian activism should not be to win in politics, he argues, but to escape it.
