Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

There are many reasons to think that we are living in the world of Atlas Shrugged. Doesn’t it seem today as if literally everything is broken or in freefall?

By Way of Conclusion

The conclusion is pretty mopey, as usual. For example:

The situation that I have examined, it is clear by now, is not a classic one. Scientific objectivity was barred to me, for the alienated, the neurotic, was my brother, my sister, my father.

Biden and His Disproportionately Jewish Helpers Craft a Bold and Completely Necessary “National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism”

American Jews are deeply endangered. Just ask them — they’ll tell you.
