“Beyond the Barstow” opens this Saturday! The new @westernsciencecenter exhibit uses a mix of original fossils, casts, and #3dprints to give visitors a glimpse of middle #Miocene North America. The opening coincides our first annual #Paleocon!

#Introduction

I certainly have affinity with libertarian goals at the federal level (#EndTheFed, #StopWars, etc), but at heart I’m a #paleocon localist and traditionalist, as I do believe that a measure of natural authority rests at different scales above the individual precisely because of our interpersonal nature with obligation to seek the common good (i.e. #subsidiarity). I have many reservations about the modern nation state and so might otherwise be described as a Tolkien Anarchist.
