The Normblog profile of Dymphna:

Can you name a major moral, political or intellectual issue on which you’ve
ever changed your mind? > I was a kamikaze liberal until the results
of the War on Poverty came in. We lost, big time. Now I’m a supply-side
philosopher (a la Bastiat).

What philosophical thesis do you think it most important to disseminate? > Frederic
Bastiat’s idea that ‘liberty is transformative’. When Bush used that exact
quote in his convention speech, I knew who his writers must’ve been reading.

What philosophical thesis do you think it most important to combat? > Any
brand of Utopianism. Communism, socialism and Pan-Arabism are only the
latest examples.
