“Due process is key to making any kind of libertarian political system work. All reprisals and punishments have to be ‘above board’ – otherwise corruption will rot the freedoms supposedly being preserved, thus favoring the powerful and privileged and providing an uneven playing field. To the extent that due process fails us, we become an unjust society. One of the most evil cultural trends of recent decades is that vigilantism has become acceptable to vast swathes of the population, both on the right and left. The left calls out, ‘Kill the rich!’ while the right exhorts us to ‘kill the woke!’ Both of these are pure vigilantism devoid of any concept of due process.” – JL Jones

Contrary to appearances, I read quite a bit, even in these long-running slumps where almost nothing appears on this blog. Much of what I read is in the form of blogs online (often, these days, the blogs are on the Substack platform, which I abhor, but if that’s where the blogs are, then that’s where I’ll read them). For most of the last 20 years of this blog, I’ve even maintained a kind of “blotter” where I record the links to these blog posts and articles that I read. But I do nothing with them.
I have been poor on posting links I read and found interesting, because I’ve felt that I needed to comment on them in some way.
On the other hand, I really like blogs where the authors occasionally or regularly post links to things they’ve read, often with very little comment (there are many – Tyler Cowen’s daily “assorted links” on his MarginalRevolution blog is perhaps the archetype for this, where it’s been a recurring feature for 20 years or so).
So, with hopes of revitalizing this moribund blog thingy, I’ve decided to start posting two or three links to things I’ve read, every day. If I allow myself to do so “without comment” it shouldn’t be too stressful to come up with a few, drawing from my blotter. And it’ll give me something new to enumerate, like trees or poems.
