Essays

Here I have collected some longer form pieces on various subjects that don't fit elsewhere:

• Carousel of Regress--the backwards time machine of the modern environmental movement
• Creative Class Fail--the uselessness of the Creative Class theory of urban development
• Heirloom Electricity--how we can better market renewable power to consumers
• Hypocrisy is Good--calling for more tribute to virtue
• Let It Snow--a unified theory explaining why cities no longer can deliver basic services
• Science vs. Democracy--on the attempt to hijack the former to subvert the latter
• Town Hall Minnesota--my plan to revive direct democracy
