Nature is a Haunted House

More bits of the puzzle come into focus:  deformed frogs point to boys born with undescended testicles and armies of obese adults.  As if it were invented by a horror writer with Norman Maileresque sexual politics, it sounds like the piss of women on the pill--that all-important pill essential to reproductive freedom--is one of the leading causes of males becoming epidemically... sensitive.
 
Industrial chemicals--for almighty efficiency--and higher yields--more more more!--come back to haunt us, nature taunting us before she exterminates us. 
 
 

Quick Fix

Work out in six minutes a week.  Ok, maybe ten or twenty. 
 
Now this is science I'd like to hear about!

Efficiency in Education: Eliminate the Humans (I Mean All of Them)

Ongoing revolutionary rhetoric of the techno-educators.  They won't be happy until tenured faculty kiss the feet of doobie-rolling freshmen zoned out on YouTube and ask for their approval.  Because that is what the kids are doing, man!  That's what the digital natives are doing!  Well, yeah, let's face it.  Knowledge isn't knowledge anymore.  It's just some dumb fact you link to and recite.  Really, why even have lungs, a mouth and lips to enunciate it?  Flesh is so old-fashioned.  Just have the screens there, talking to the other screens--now that would be progress in pedogogy.  Eliminate the human altogether. 

Whither, Christendom?

Well, of course this factual article on Muslim immigration in Europe manifests a latent alarmism.  However, it raises legitimate concerns.  I don't know what the demographic trends suggest, but one can't help but wonder--perhaps in a far off futuristic apocalyptic vein--if Israel is not prototype of Europe itself:  the liberal Westerners outnumbered in their own state by the uber-reproducinng Islamic population.  (With the obvious difference that Palestinians originally occupied the land).  Hard choices will need to be made--and enforced--at some point in time.  I don't think it is any crime or diminishment of liberal values for Europe to declare that it wishes to remain Europe.  Leave it to America to deal with the world's immigrants. 

Ah, Short School Days...

More educational sledghammering against our short school year and short school days.  Reform will come, but slowly and slyly. 

Cheers for Jeers

Funny, browsing in the Al-Jazeera I find the clearest statement for the banker schemes that bankrupted America. 

Another Libertarian Dreamer Gone Awry

Imagine that-- a tale of an idealistic libertarian whose business becomes a magnet for criminals.  

Ah, the Trustafarian takes a Tumble

The market giveth and the market taketh away for the trust-fund trendies on the NASDAQ umbilical.

One more opportunity for doom

Booming DNA nanotech of the future.  Or more likely, the stuff of doom.
