I’ve been reading The New Humanists (ed. John Brockman) subtitled ‘science at the edge’, which is a collection of essays featuring the likes of Jared Diamond (‘A New Scientific Synthesis of Human History’), Steven Pinker (‘A Biological Understanding of Human Nature’), Marvin Minsky (‘What Comes After Minds?’) and Alan Guth (‘A Golden Age of Cosmology’).

“Armed Madhouse” by Greg Palast.
It exposes the lies, deceptions, theft of the
the village idiot. Recently Palast said that

I am just wondering where I am going to move to
in the next year or so. maybe someplace that doest
pretend to be about freedom or democracy like the THE U.S.

in a dictatorship, I might as well live someplace that openly
admits its a dictatorship instead of lying like the U.S.
