Hautamaki comments on I'm a Stanford professor accused of being part of a 'terrorist group'. McCarthyism is back

Hautamaki comments on I'm a Stanford professor accused of being part of a 'terrorist group'. McCarthyism is back: "Ideologies founded on resentment or arrogance are both doomed to fail. What works is taking personal responsibility to try improve your own life in a way that also improves or at least doesn’t harm the lives of all the people around you. That is why capitalism mostly works. While imperfect, it is founded on the principal of be as productive as you possibly can be and you will naturally be rewarded for it. Of course things like regulatory capture temporarily allow unproductive people to reap undue rewards, but selfish abusive people are always going to exist and that’s at least a damn sight better than tens of millions of people dying pointlessly."
