From @WSJopinion: At least in America government can’t compel us to endorse transgender ideology, writes @LKrauss1.
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal fined former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld 750,000 Canadian dollars for asserting the obvious truth that a man can’t become a woman or vice versa, writes @LKrauss1

As I describe in my new WSJ piece, a fundamental aspect of Free Speech is the right to offend sensibilities. This is constitutionally guaranteed in the US, but not in many other places, like Canada. X supports this right...@elonmusk.

Free Speech means having the right to disagree with the government and also offend sensibilities, whatever your views on, say, sex and gender. Fortunately in the US there is constitutional protection. In Canada, there isn't. My newest piece in the WSJ.

Am converted. Just drove from south San Francisco through Oregon without touching my steering wheel. Tesla full self drive is both magical and life changing, relaxing and maybe even life saving! Thank you @elonmusk for the technology!

I had hopes this might allow LIGO to observe dark matter (DM) axions. The reality is more complicated, but there is still discovery potential for ultra light DM at LIGO and LISA. In any case, it was enjoyable to work it out, and think about cosmic questions.

This is what the War on Science is all about. The effort to replace science by ideology in academia, business and government. That is why we wrote the book. Carole and Geoff are both contributors.. It is worth looking at.

Carole Hooven—my fellow contributor to "The War on Science"—was mobbed at Harvard for saying there are two sexes.
Cowardly admins threw her under the bus.
In the CBC doc "Speechless", she reads their letter with appropriate contempt.

When the world seems crazy, as it increasingly does lately, going out to the patio and enjoying the view with a good book seems like a good thing to do.
Was scheduled to do a @MLInstitute podcast on Wed on free speech & academic freedom, but it was cancelled without explanation. Groups like this (& @AristotleFdn) tend to cave when there might be actual controversy. Find other groups to support in these difficult times .

Any country that criminalizes opinions can no longer be described as a free democracy. This is both terrifying and disgusting. They should be ashamed.
Last night Canadian senators quietly snuck in an amendment into Bill C-9 to criminalize "residential school denialism."
250 years.. from George Washington to this...
House finches visit my hummingbird feeder! Had a little discussion there.
The issues we discussed in this podcast are foundational. How can we ensure that public policy be based on reason and empirical evidence, and not on emotions, religious predilections, and bias?
