Of all the policies that we discussed, one stands out in my mind β if for no other reason than because it is so thoroughly counterintuitive. I asked him to name the one reform that he was most proud of. "I abolished the collection of statistics," he replied. Sir John believed that statistics are dangerous, because they enable social engineers of all stripes to justify state intervention in the economy.As always the planners turn data molehills into a mountain of cash for themselves.
And this is why I find the lockdown debate so phoney. Itβs been fuelled, on both sides, by the presumption that government decrees work as a sort of magic wand that will bring our economies (and perhaps the most acute phase of the pandemic) back to life. But the data suggest there is no magic wand. Much of the lockdown effect was imposed not by top-down fiat, but through millions of small decisions made every day by civic groups, employers, unions, trade associations, school boards and, most importantly, ordinary people.As I have said many times, it's horizontal enforcement and the mental prison of authoritarianism that most are locked into which is the real problem. We wouldn't have an oppressive government without that existing in the first place.

This would explain two recent secretive projects.God, this is why they think they can get away with a first strike
First is the various attempts by China to build underground "neutrino detectors" in various parts of the country. Before all of the Chinese Academy of Science websites were taken down, you could see pictures of it. They were tunneling quite deep. 100 miles at around average depth of 4,000 feet.
Of course no one does nuclear like the Americans. The Department of Energy's secretive DUNE project...Deep Underground Nuetrino [E] is well under way across Illinois and will eventually extend the accelerator at Fermilab to over 800 miles underground.
This technology is, to use an overused term, the Manhattan Project of the 21st century.
