Comment on Overcoming Hamilton’s Curse, Part 1: Failed Solutions by Eric

Recently I heard a talk from one of the people who votes on what gets put into textbooks used in public schools (I’m sorry, but I’ve forgotten his name). He was from Texas, and even though each state has some kind of group that decides what their textbooks should have, history shows that the regulations Texas adopts are then adopted by most states.

Mercantilism is dominantly based in scarcity mentality. It is about gathering as many resources as possible because there is a scarce amount of these resources.

What does that have to do with textbooks in Texas? According to the talk I heard, the idea of scarcity is to be one of the foundational principles in these textbooks. The principle of abundance is to be completely removed.

With over 80% of Americans being educated in the public system, the already widespread fear that comes with scarcity mentality is only going to increase in future generations.

If you or your children are involved in public school (or even if you’re not and you care about the future), get involved.

Unfortunately, no. That was an old Cause of Liberty article, all of which were deleted when I deleted the database.

You’ll have to wait for the book…

FYI

The link on your “intention” article is not working.

It just forwards to the aweber home page

Is there another way to acess this article?

Thanks.

That is true about nuclear power being safe. It is also the cleanest way to produce energy as well! It is avctually cleaner than making solar cells, for when making solar cells a lot of toxins are produced.

If we took all the waste ever produced in the world by nuclear power plants and put it all together, it would all fit in a football field. That is 60 years of world production!

What a fitting prayer. What a great reminder that only in our discomfort can we grow to our potential.

I have noticed that only through the course of learning and introspection can a person truly find himself. Once you find yourself, then you can reach outward and help those around you.
