1) Interesting essay by ProgressingAmerica regarding the concept of PLANNING -

Money quote from the essay for me was:

“This right here is what makes it tyrannical, all things can be tested in reality, and when we test the theory of planning vs the practice of planning, planners treat individuals very, very poorly. Because when governments have usurped that much power over the people they govern, they don’t stop ruining peoples lives. If the plan fails, the planners keep finding an excuses and devise new schemes in what becomes one big never-ending destructive path - The Road to Serfdom [referring to Hayek’s book by that title.]”
