  1. I often get comments along the lines of "Stop criticizing stuff; tell us what we should do." My answer is always the same. Counterterrorism is most effective when it doesn't make arbitrary assumptions about the terrorists' plans. Stop searching bags on the subways, and spend the money on 1) intelligence and investigation -- stopping the terrorists regardless of what their plans are, and 2) emergency response -- lessening the impact of a terrorist attack, regardless of what the plans are. Countermeasures that defend against particular targets, or assume particular tactics, or cause the terrorists to make insignificant modifications in their plans, or that surveil the entire population looking for the few terrorists, are largely not worth it.

  6. Tolerance by itself can be a cover for moral laziness. In a world with real and pressing problems, tolerance is merely a precondition for politics -- it is not itself a meaningful politics.

  11. The reason today's electronic computers seem benign is that the true electronic revolution has not happened yet. Our current phase of computerization is still akin to the stage of history when muscle tasks were moving from humans to animals. The tasks being reassigned from individual human minds to electronic circuits still retain all their old human structure and scale.

  16. Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. [Anti-conservatism counters that:] The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.
