The Unexpected Intersectionality of The Who
It’s so hard to get a diverse bunch of people to make common cause. Especially when there is a tiny elite (Some of which aren’t flesh and blood human beings even if legally they they are.) with huge amounts of … Continue reading

What Is to Be Done?
What’s happening to my generation’s children, the Millennials, is similar but also worse than what happened to my generation, Generation X. At least my generation had a lot of terrible, entry level jobs in the service sector to start in. … Continue reading

How to Prevent Demagogues in the United States
First, fix the Electoral College. Many people still view the EC as some brilliant move of statesmanship worked out by our supernally wise founders back 1787. This is not supported by history. The founders of this country weren’t superhuman and … Continue reading

I browse, I link, I'm back.
So I’m quoted, or rather my alter-ego is quoted, talking about drugs that boost certain limited aspects of intelligence. This, in all things, in Spin Magazine–tsk, tsk. Ah me, famous at last. DARPA researchers develop a method to accelerate our … Continue reading
