Why do liberals hate the idea of flying so much? Come on, the answer isn’t to make people’s lives and worlds worse, but to make flying and its environmental impact better.

Why have we lost the desire, the will, the impetus to improve, having determined (against any evidence) that we must diminish ourselves and the world? I can find no way to understand this except that asceticism, especially if it is enforced on others, just really appeals to people deeply.

I refuse to live in the conservative ideal serfdom nor in the liberal ideal serfdom.
