EH - 80 Enviromentalism

(This epistemological breakdown, I might add, radically accelerated starting practically on the very day in the 1960s when the government took over most of the scientific research in the United States and began the large scale financing of statistical studies as a substitute for the discovery of causes.)

To accomplish this cleanup, only the most powerful, industrial-strength, philosophical and intellectual cleansing agents will do. These cleansing agents are, above all, the writings of Ayn Rand and Ludwig von Mises.

George Reisman stretches the imagination in this very long winded rant against the parts per ten toxicity level of radical environmentalists. Recall Dr. Lenny's basic tenet - do not take the facts presented at face value. But reading this helps to address some of the points that Dr. Lenny has been making about the environmental industry all along. Which will be the subject of the next post.
