More talk. Not less.

Funny how statist control freaks here want a “ministry of truth” in this country now.

Show they don’t believe in a market of ideas.

Cass Sunstein certainly knows what needs to be done to ensure that the geistige Volksgesundheit is maintained. The intertubes simply must be corralled to reduce the great harm all this conspiracy theorizing inflicts. In his 2008 paper ‘Conspiracy Theories’ written with Adrian Vermeule, he proposed the following eminently reasonable measures:

1.Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
2.Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
3.Government might itself engage in counter-speech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.
4.Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counter-speech.
5.Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.”
