Katherine Boyle just named Elon Musk's greatest contribution to America, and it isn't sitting on a launchpad. Boyle, General Partner at a16z: "I think that Elon's most important contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers … on how to work with their hands again." For a decade, America's sharpest technical minds optimized ad clicks and shipped messaging apps. Software consumed ambition. The physical world became something you abstracted into an API, not something you touched. Building real things became what you did if you couldn't code. Elon didn't reverse that with inspiration.

From Ceuta to Cuba to Tehran — and increasingly the American left — the same destructive ideas keep proving that reality is no match for ideological zeal. I’m looking around the world right now, and what I see isn’t all bad. In fact, there are lots of indications of positive things happening or about to happen. What strikes me, though, in seeing the hopeful signs, is the contrast between those and the, er… other things going on in the world. For example, the Moorish invasion of the Spanish town of Ceuta. Much of the reporting, particularly on social media, that...

The police have acted quickly enough to apprehend a suspect, but they are still investigating the matter. But...
