Scotland the Unrecognizable

How did Adam Smith’s homeland come to elect the most intrusive and nannying government in Europe?

I am invited to lecture in Edinburgh this fall and have already been sent a list of preferred pronouns for gender, euphemisms for sexual definitions, and topics to avoid in any academic presentation.  I have also received a list of things that are not permitted in academic housing and it's enough to make me want to start smoking, drinking, and playing loud music on the Wurlitzer.

Either I'm going to stay in a hotel at my own expense or bag the whole trip and head on down to Key West for those two weeks.
