Francisco Goya: The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters

This famous work by Goya serves as a reminder that we still live in a world where medieval superstition as well propaganda and demagoguery are allowed to have an outsize influence on our lives.

Environmentalism (e.g. Global Warming hoax, Climate Change) has become the religion or fanaticism of our time.

Socialism and other totalitarian/authoritarian ideologies still dominate politics!

The harmful pretense of knowledge (Friedrich Hayek) can be found everywhere!

Liberty and individual freedom and responsibility are still under constant attack if not severely restricted! The long lasting Draconian and extensive measures taken by many constitutional democracies as an unjustified and exaggerated response to the fairly harmless Covid-19 pandemic is just the latest example.
