Letters of Conscience
In an age when truth trembles beneath the weight of noise, we return to the language of conscience — to the measured cadence of thought that once shaped a nation. These letters are written in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, not as echoes of a distant past, but as instruments of renewal. Each letter carries a lesson forged in the fires of revolution and tempered by reason, calling us to examine the soul of our Republic anew. Here, history does not whisper — it instructs. And through these reflections, we summon the courage to act with virtue in an unvirtuous age.
Letter 2 - The Politics of Panic: How Fear Replaces Reason in the Age of Climate Dogma
In every generation, fear finds a new disguise.
Ours calls itself science.
Where faith once demanded tithes to appease heaven, the modern zealot demands taxes to appease the climate. The prophets of panic promise salvation through submission, declaring that man’s prosperity is the planet’s peril.
But Hamilton would remind us: the power to terrify is the oldest instrument of tyranny. When “consensus” replaces curiosity and dissent becomes heresy, science ceases to enlighten—it begins to rule.
This Letter of Conscience calls us to reject the politics of panic, to defend reason from ideology, and to remember that liberty, not fear, is the true measure of a Republic’s moral climate.
