“Trump and Artificial Intelligence” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

The Three Laws of Robotics should be: no assault, no theft, no fraud -- and Trump of all candidates seems to have some idea of why we ought to start worrying about worse robotic scenarios, I write in today’s column.

“Death of a Nation” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

In today’s column, I write that the GOP may be better off long-term losing with Carson or a Latino than winning via Trump.

“Bullet Train to the Poorhouse” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Amidst another terrible budget “compromise,” I write that thinking government should spend at all likely means you dwell in a fantasy world in which government can do things competently.

“Diddy Smarter Than Mitty” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I think Diddy’s negative view of democracy may be more realistic than Mitt Romney’s, as I explain in today’s column.

“Lawyers vs. Trigger Warnings” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

For all the jokes we make about lawyers, they’re a rational, rules-respecting bunch and tend, like the president of Cornell, to see the dangers of P.C. sentiment run amok, I write.

“Specter of the Gun” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Violent episodes in history are often the ones subject to politicized revisionism, I write.

“Feminism Failings” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Recurring theme seems to be self-contradiction and having it both ways, I gripe in today’s column.

“Transparency vs. the Establishment” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

It’s not the fringe that dwells in creepy shadows, I write in today’s column.

“Big Government: Episode VII” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I wonder on SpliceToday whether the future will even care about which form of terrible big government you’ve allied yourself to or whether it’ll just seem like hairsplitting (and actual Jewish Nazis are mentioned, in contrast to the metaphors thrown around about Israel).

“McDonald’s: I’m Lovin’ It” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

McDonald’s is beset by bogus health claims and bad economic reasoning, so in today’s column, I’m vowing to eat there weekly to show my gratitude.

“Megastructures of Success” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Equality is not the essential thing, I write on SpliceToday, and if it were, we’d have to condemn a culture, if one exists, capable of re-engineering its solar system while we had little more grandiose than the collapsing Roman Empire.

“How Crazy Can Syria Get?” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Rarely have so many dangerous factions been so wrong, I write.

“They’re No Joe Biden” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I think the big winners on debate day were Joe Biden, who wasn’t in the debate, and Donald Trump, who tweeted an awesome dubstep-infused video earlier in the day, to which I link in today’s column.

“New York Comic Con: The Politics” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

From the delay of Capt. Marvel to the isolation of Isaac Perlmutter, goings on in the comics industry are fraught with political implications, or so I write.

“Gold, Government, and Gary Johnson” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I paid a visit to LibertyFest 2015, witnessing, as I write today, our potential next president Gary Johnson and other political figures ranging from Anthem Blanchard to the Rent Is Too Damn High guy.

“BDH vs. HBD” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

At Brown University (again), the Brown Daily Herald newspaper feels compelled to apologize for having the audacity to print two opinion pieces with un-p.c. opinions in them, I write.

“Feminism = Madness” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

We just cannot keep denying that there is a recent push toward irrationality and deliberately bizarre behavior among young women using feminism as an excuse, I write.

“Laurie Anderson’s Corpus” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

In today’s column, writing as a fan, I contrast Laurie Anderson’s new installation art about Gitmo with her more troubling comments years ago about East Berlin.

“Anarchy in the UK, Bushwick, and Coney Island” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Anarchists ought to spend more time resisting government power grabs such as eminent domain use and less time whining about capitalism, I write.

“Brown: An Arguing City on a Hill” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Even a moderate libertarian like philosophy professor John Tomasi has to jump through diplomatic hoops sometimes at a politicized place like Brown University, but I’m glad he does, I write in today’s column.

“Time for Anarchism” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Richard Epstein debated Michael Huemer, and if an esteemed libertarian law professor debating an anarcho-capitalist philosophy professor brings us a step closer to talking openly about the complete abolition of government, I say in today’s column it’s a sign libertarianism is finally maturing.

“Climate or Violence” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Whatever the topic, the United Nations is always the wrong answer, I write in today’s column.
