The Gilder Fellows Seminar on Economics and Entrepreneurship is going virtual this summer, and is open to all ages! The program — typically reserved for students and young professionals — features personal instruction from Discovery Institute scholars such as George Gilder, Jay Richards, Chris Rufo, Gale Pooley, and Scott Powell. The seminar price of $49 is a tremendous value to hear and interact with some of the great minds of our time. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity! 

On Independence Day, it's appropriate to review the sources of our rights as citizens. There is one source that is more basic than any other, yet it receives less attention than it deserves; the idea that there is an intelligent creator who can be known by reason from nature, a key tenet underlying the Declaration of Independence — as well as, curiously, the modern theory of intelligent design.

Our societal attitudes need adjusting. Rather than upholding a quality of life ethic, we should insist that society generally — and medicine specifically — adhere to the sanctity/equality of life ethic, according to which everyone is considered equally valuable and worthy of living and care. 

Now that Seattle's autonomous zone has been disbanded, the true legacy of the CHAZ will be the memory of two black men who died under the false promise of utopia: Lorenzo Anderson Jr., 19, and Antonio Mays Jr., 16. When the television cameras disappear and the bourgeois-radicals go home, who will remember them? Who will say their names?

Discovery Senior Fellow Jay Richards sat down with Andre Fuetsch, President of AT&T Labs and Chief Technical Officer at AT&T, about the future of 5G communications. Fuetsch says that one of the great benefits of 5G will not only be faster speeds, but much lower latency. This will be a “game changer” for latency-sensitive applications such as autonomous vehicles, drones, and online gaming that require real-time information.

Unions have three very specific missions: to maximize member compensation, to protect member employment, and to improve member working conditions. However, those three mission statements say nothing about "protecting citizens," "providing taxpayers value for money," or "effectively educating children." As a consequence, we tolerate ineffective and expensive police departments, inefficient government bureaucracies, and failing schools.
