worming our way to truth

A new study finds federal employees are a better deal than private contractors. Gee, we had to have a study to figure that out? The parasites may be bad for governments bottom line, but they may do a body good so we might want to start microbe-managing our health in ways that may seem rather distasteful.

From 75 to 83 percent in one year is the change in percentages of people believing in global warming. I didn't think the numbers were that high.

Here is a really nice piece from Sam Harris titled, What's the Point of Transcendence. Looks like he might be my go to guy in the SNR department. He even wrote about spiritual truths as if they are real things.

Rep Rush Holt is my kinda congressman, he likes science. Saw him on Dylan Rattigan who claims to be mad as hell and has something on the burner. I like his framing.
Good plug for Jimmy Williams too. Lobbying reports may be helpful.

Make sure to review After Capitalism, it looks like a must.
