Milei Lectures the UN on Economic Reality
Stephen Moore: Unleash Prosperity Hotline – There was so much news last week that we had to hold this brilliant and scathing indictment of the UN by Argentina’s President Javier Milei. Milei is the Howard Cosell of modern day geopolitics: he tells it like it is:
The UN… built a bureaucratic leviathan devoted to deciding how the peoples of the world and their citizens should live…
During the pandemic, bodies under the auspices of this House put themselves before scientific evidence and the sovereignty of nations and promoted forced lockdown policies throughout the world that ruined jobs, that ruined the education of entire generations of children, and cost the lives of millions of people who died alone without basic medical care…Added to that is something more subtle but equally damaging: the psychological terror instilled by the state. For years, citizens around the world were told that they should be afraid. Afraid of their neighbors, of the air they breathe, of leaving their homes. That fear wasn't a mere side effect. It was the chosen instrument of their government…
That is why, when we hear that the state should control artificial intelligence, we should remember something basic. The state is not an abstract creature. It is made up of people, officials, and bureaucrats. Granting it control over innovation means granting some people, in the best and most naive of cases, the power to limit what everyone else can create.
