“In an information economy, entrepreneurs master the science of information in order to overcome the laws of the purely physical sciences. They can succeed because of the surprising power of the laws of information, which are conducive to human creativity. The central concept of information theory is a measure of freedom of choice. The principle of matter, on the other hand, is not liberty but limitation- it has weight and occupies space.” HumansMatterHandsLawOrderChoicesSpaceLibertyPrinciplesCreativityEconomyInformationMastersTheorySucceedConceptsEconomicsOvercomingWeightEntrepreneurLimitationSurprisingFreedom Of ChoicePhysical Science Book:Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How it is Revolutionizing our World Source: Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How it is Revolutionizing our World
“The theory behind representative government is that superior men-or at least men not inferior to the average in ability and integrity-are chosen to manage the public business, and that they carry on this work with reasonable intelligence and honest.

“July 4, 1776 was the historic day on which the representatives of three millions of people vocalized Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill, which gave notice to the world that they proposed to establish an independent nation on the theory that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” PeopleMenWorldCertainThreeNationsLibertyMillionsRightsTheoryEqualIndependentCreatorPursuitHillsRepresentativesHistoricPursuit Of HappinessJulyInalienable RightsBunkersLife Liberty And The Pursuit Of HappinessJuly 4LexingtonBunker Hill Author:Calvin Coolidge
“To be true to its constitutional role, the Supreme Court should refuse to be drawn into making public policy, and it should strike down legislation only when a clear constitutional violation exists. When judicial activists resort to various inventions and theories to impose their personal views on privacy and liberty, they jeopardize the legitimacy of the judiciary as an institution and undermine the role of the other branches of government.” ShouldGovernmentViewsLibertyRolesClearPolicyTheoryInstitutionsCourtVariousRefuseStrikesSupremeInventionBeing TrueBranchesPrivacyActivistLegislationSupreme CourtResortsViolationJudicialPublic PolicyJudiciaryLegitimacyJeopardizeBranches Of GovernmentPersonal Views Author:Mark Levin
“Democracy turns upon and devours itself. Universal suffrage, in theory the palladium of our liberties, becomes the assurance of our slavery. And that slavery will grow more and more abject and ignoble as the differential birth rate, the deliberate encouragement of mendicancy and the failure of popular education produce a larger and larger mass of prehensile half-wits, and so make the demagogues more and more secure.” TurnsGrowsHalfLibertyDemocracyProduceTheoryBirthMassUniversalEncouragementSlaveryRateWitSecureAssuranceDeliberateSuffrageIgnobleUniversal SuffrageBirth RatePopular Education Author:H.

“We own ourselves. This is the core of a libertarian theory of rights. But on this theory, while we are at liberty to kill ourselves (regardless of the consequences of others), we are not allowed to kill others, not even if this means that there we be fewer murders in the future, totally speaking.” IfsMeanLibertyRightsTheoryConsequenceMurderLibertarianCoreFewer Author:Torbjorn Tannsjo
