Aella On Sex Work, “Camming," OnlyFans, Liberty & Gathering Research.
My newest interview is with…. GASP!…. a sex worker.
Her name is Aella, and her career path is surprising.

She’s made a lot of money, performing for men online, and being an escort.
But she's also an outspoken libertarian.
“I just knew that freedom was really important,” she tells me.
Now she’s paid to do research. Her surveys are unconventional, including something she calls a “rape spectrum."
Usually I do 5 minute videos.
But our wide-ranging conversation deserved more time.

TED C
ted-cruz-wins-the-technology-war-in-iowa
Senator Ted Cruz employed an aggressive technology strategy to help win voters in Iowa, much like President Obama did in 2012. Cruz let us have an inside look at how his campaign’s use of data is disrupting the way politicians win elections. Right now he’s in third place for the New Hampshire primary, but will the same tech tools he used in Iowa give him an edge in a state that’s not friendly to his brand of Republican?

Star Trek gave us a glimpse of what might be possible in the future. Now our technology is catching up. But would we be able to fly the Enterprise today?

Probably not. We have so many rules and regulations that the Enterprise wouldn't get off the ground.
The food replicator would curtail our eating choices, the TSA would make it hard to board, the Transportation Department would ban "transporting."
Is "Star Trek: The Libertarian Edition" possible? William Shatner sat down to debate the idea with John Stossel at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas.
Produced by Naomi Brockwell. Edited by Joshua Swain.

“Gouging” becomes an issue every hurricane season. After big storms, some people raise prices. Then politicians and the media freak out. Both demand tougher laws against “gouging.”

But Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman says, “the gougers deserve a medal” because they take risks to bring in goods that people desperately need.
Annelise Kofod, Erika Lewis, and Maggie Hroncich are students who get that.
They are winners of the contest held by John Stossel’s Charity Stossel in the Classroom (SITC). They collected $1500, plus a free trip for them and their teacher to visit Stossel in New York City.
This year’s contest invited students to write about “price gouging.”
“When people hear ‘price gouging’ they think, oh, ‘gouging’ -- this awful thing. But it really is kind of just another name for ‘supply and demand,’” explains 17-year-old Annelise Kofod of Raleigh, North Carolina, who won the High School video award.
“Supply and demand,” she says in her video, can help people get things they desperately need.
Stossel’s classroom video reports on a so-called gouger, John Shepperson. Watching news reports after Hurricane Katrina, he learned that people desperately needed electric generators. So Shepperson bought 19 generators and drove them 600 miles to the hurricane disaster zone. He offered to sell them for twice what he paid. Lots of people wanted to buy them.
But Mississippi police called that price gouging. They confiscated his generators, and locked him up. Did that benefit the public? Stossel doesn’t think so.
Erika Lewis of Towson University, who won the college-level video category, says, “as I did more and more research I was like, ‘ok, maybe price gouging isn’t such a bad thing.’”
Maggie Hroncich of Grove City, Pennsylvania, won the high school essay contest. She points out that, “actually, the price gougers are the moral ones.”
Stossel agrees. He’s glad that SITC students understand the benefits of market forces, even when politicians and the media don’t.

Surveys show that the Islamic World -- long filled with war and religious dogma -- is starting to become more tolerant, and a little more secular.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar says things are changing thanks to the internet — because people can watch western shows like Friends and Seinfeld.
It's also thanks to efforts by groups like his (IdeasBeyondBorders.org) that translate thousands of English Wikipedia articles about science and rationality into Arabic -- as well as books like Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now.
Faisal's volunteers sometimes are attacked by religious authorities when they give out books. In one case, their tent was burned down. But they keep giving them out anyway.
Watch the full story in the video above.

I’ve reported that Facebook censored me. Now I’ve learned that Facebook also censors respected science writers John Tierney, Michael Shellenberger and Bjorn Lomborg.

Facebook, and its so-called "fact-checker," Science Feedback, censored former NYT reporter John Tierney for daring to say that masking kids can do harm.
They censored environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, who Time Magazine listed among “heroes of the environment,” after he dared to say that climate change is not an apocalypse, and that we're not in a "mass extinction."
They censored statistician and environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg for pointing out that data show that temperature-related deaths FELL as the world warms.
Who did Facebook work with to censor these good points? A group of left-wingers called the Poynter Institute.
Why would they censor important facts? I go into that in the video above.

CANCE
cancelled-in-the-wokeplace
Angry mobs have threatened people throughout history. But now there’s a new kind: online mobs.

Repeatedly outraged, and vicious--their goal is to get people fired. They are good at it.
An analyst at a democratic polling firm tweeted about a study that concluded “… riots reduce the share of democratic votes.”
Quickly, an online mob rallied with complaints. One tagged the CEO of Civis Analytics, telling him to, "Come get your boy.”
"Within days, this … guy was let go from the position,” says Robby Soave, author of "Panic Attack: Young Radicals in the Age of Trump."
“So all this young man does is tweet an article that's obviously true, and he gets fired?” asks Stossel. “Why are they winning? Their argument is ridiculous.”
“Because people are afraid to challenge them. It just takes one employee at one company, to say, ‘Here's the law that protects my rights to feel safe and comfortable … If you're not making me feel safe … I'm going to get you in trouble. I might even sue you,’” Soave explains.
So “cancel culture” grows.
In England, a tax specialist lost her job for saying being female is a biological fact.
When Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling defended her, tweeting, “Force women out of their jobs for stating sex is real?” the mob came for Rowling.
They called her transphobic, said her tweet was “cruel and inaccurate.” Some staff at her publisher refused to work on her upcoming book.
But Rowling is the rare person popular enough to be able to resist the mob. Her publisher stood up for her saying, “freedom of speech is the cornerstone of publishing.”
That’s how all these cases should be handled.
“We just have to speak up,” says Soave.
That can be hard in the current “cancel culture.” But those of us who can speak up, should.

THE G
the-good-news-of-2020
2020 was "the worst year ever!” said many.
But was it? NO!... says historian Johan Norberg. He reminds me to be grateful for the GOOD trends in the world.

"If I were to pick a year, the best year in human history to face a pandemic, I would say it's 2020," Norberg says.
"Which OTHER year would you pick?" he wonders. “You could go for 2005. Well, in that case you wouldn’t have the technology to create these MRNA vaccines."
"Had we had [Covid] in 1990, we wouldn't have a worldwide web and I wouldn't be able to participate in your show... in 1976, we wouldn’t have been able to read the genome of thevirus... in 1950, we wouldn’t have had a single ventilator."
In the last two decades, Norberg points out, "mankind has attained more wealth than ever."
There’s more to life than wealth!" I counter. "A lot of this money went to the top one percent... ordinary people... They think they're doing worse."
But ordinary people are doing better, Norberg says.
"If you look at specifics like global poverty, child mortality, chronic undernourishment, and illiteracy -- they all declined faster than ever," he notes.
Not everything got better. Suicide and crime are up, lately.
But Norberg says we should be grateful for the vast general improvements.
"We have this tendency, for good reasons, to focus on problems, because that's our way of solving problems... But... then there's the risk that we'll just despair ... and that's not the solution to our problems," Norberg says.
"We should be a little bit grateful for what we have," he concludes.
