   I assume that if there was a live stream you’d have mentioned it? If that’s not the case please share it.

   Off-topic: Landsburg leads opinion once again!

   In Fair Play (2011), Chap. 13, pp. 143-60, Landsburg acknowledges that productivity is not evenly distributed throughout the population. Rather, a few geniuses provoke a disproportionate amount of growth. And the best way to create geniuses is … to have more people.

   Eight years later, Mike Lee took to the floor of the Senate to explain his strategy for combating climate change:

   The solution to climate change won’t be found in political posturing or virtue signaling…. It won’t be found in the federal government at all. You know where the solution can be found? [I]n churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world….

   Climate change is an engineering problem ― not social engineering but the real kind. It’s a challenge of creativity, ingenuity and most of all, technological innovation. And problems of human imagination are not solved by more laws; they’re solved by more humans.

   More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term large-scale problems. American babies, in particular, are likely going to be wealthier, better educated and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.

   Children are a mark of the kind of personal, communal and societal optimism that is the true prerequisite for meeting national and global challenges together. The courage needed to solve climate change is nothing compared with the courage needed to start a family.

   The true heroes of this story aren’t politicians and they aren’t social media activists ― they’re moms and dads and the little boys and girls that they are at this very moment putting down for naps or helping with their homework, building treehouses and teaching them how to tie their shoes.

   Moral of the story: Landsburg for Senate!
