On today's @reason Roundtable podcast w me, @kmanguward @petersuderman & @MattWelch, I recommend Acid Hype by @miamiuniversity's Stephen Siff, a great study of how LSD & psychedelics were treated by media from 1940s-1970. Click thru for link to book. https://t.co/T5FA7FXbAQ

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance (1852) is so good. Set in a utopian community, it is filled with characters whose conformation bias and solipsism leads to awful results. By turns funny, mean, and tragic, it could have been written today. https://t.co/sJQCKkNYv5

"Conscious Capitalism" is a management philosophy, not a corporate governance system, @WholeFoods' John Mackey tells @reason. #ESG is a political philosophy abt taking power away from shareholders and "will screw up capitalism." https://t.co/vVoKUee5hL https://t.co/vVoKUee5hL

If your actual book elicits a fraction of the outrage already displayed by people who by definition haven't read it yet, you've got yourself a bestseller, @sannewman.
