George Gilder is one of the most important people in American public life. In fact, he has been for the bulk of my life. When Gilder decides to champion as issue, he masters it, and then writes about it eloquently and persuasively –...
It goes without saying that the fields of Logic and Critical Thinking are not big priorities in our present educational system. I do not believe that many people are familiar with the fallacy known as post hoc, ergo propter hoc, but I am declaring...
