Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Friday, December 30, 2011. The Moral Foundations of Occupy Wall Street - Jonathan Haidt, Reason Magazine. Jonathan Haidt, author of one of my favorite books, The Happiness Hypothesis, applies his theory of moral foundations to the Occupy Wall Street movement. I’ve provided some quotes below. I like his approach. So what is the mix of moral foundations at Occupy Wall Street (OWS)? I particularly like what he says in the last paragraph about fairness. While fa...

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The News Media as Instructors not Reporters. This story sums up everything that is wrong with the media, and why it is dying - and why it should die. The media is no longer in the information business. They are in the instruction business. This is an important distinction. You cannot just offer information willy-nilly to children. …. You must be protective of Children, who are, in final analysis, incompetent (legally as well as act...

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty: Understanding Mass Murder by Robert James Bidinotto
http://wyattstorch2.blogspot.com/2012/12/understanding-mass-murder-by-robert.html
Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Sunday, December 16, 2012. Understanding Mass Murder by Robert James Bidinotto. This week's massacre at Newtown has set off the to be expected firestorm over gun control. I highly recommend this post,. You have to understand this to grasp that, for the mass killer, murder is an empowering event. He is playing God with other human lives, and gets a tremendous "rush" of power and control by treating other humans like playthings. Subscribe in a reader.

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty: Think Tough Gun Laws Keep Europeans Safe? Think Again by John Lott
http://wyattstorch2.blogspot.com/2012/07/think-tough-gun-laws-keep-europeans.html
Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Sunday, July 22, 2012. Think Tough Gun Laws Keep Europeans Safe? Think Again by John Lott. This article by John Lott from 2010 talks about how strict gun-control laws in Europe have not prevented similar tragedies as the one that happened in Colorado earlier this week. It is interesting that three of the top five mass killings that Lott refers to occurred in Germany, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in all of Europe. Think Again. Fox News.

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. You Didn't Build That: Two Analyses. I like how Maverick Philosopher dissects Obama's remarks on "you didn't build that.".

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Review - Reckless Endangerment:How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon Review. The authors do a good job of detailing how the people within Fannie Mae cooked the books and used various means to ensure folks who normally wouldn’t qualify for loans got them. It also details how some within government, both Republicans and Democrats, defended Fannie Mae. It’s not a perfect book but it details the...

Wyatt's Torch: Reason, Self-Interest, Liberty. Sunday, December 16, 2012. Further thoughts on Newtown. Post I came across two other interesting items.
