–“Pretty much everyone in the Institute publicly speaks for himself rather than the Institute. And, it’s probably better for Curt’s image as, interestingly, he’s the least hard-right member, lol.”– Martin Stepan
Yes. Because the institute produces a via negative logic of the natural law of decidability. That tells us what’s untestifiable, false, and reciprocal. It does not tell us what is true and desirable – that’s a preference. So we all pursue our preferences and our staff is from every generation. And moreover we all have slightly different main interests. (Mine’s logic and law).
A couple of other things I’ve learned:
(a) Despite all I’ve worked on, all the research, I’m still an Anglo Classical liberal in the Founder’s tradition. Like Hayek, given the left ‘stole’ the term ‘liberal’ he used the term Libertarian before Rothbard stole the term libertarian for the Jewish version 😉
(b) My sentiments and intuitions are partly generational given that every generation after mine (the Jones generation) has been worse off, and so the right is going harder right just as the left is going harder left, as the country comes apart from the export of jobs, and immigration of people unwilling or unfit for the heavy responsibility of western civilizations history, norms, traditions values institutions and laws, and the capture of our institutions that encourages that unfitness.
So yes I’m a classical natural law liberal or anglo libertarian but I understand why the following generations of men are increasingly less optimistic and tolerant- and are, really, fighting mad.
