All for me

 None for thee - in plague proportions these days

Zuckface - a dislike button for me - but not for thee

Saylor - btc selling for me - but not for thee

Xi Jinping - open source for me - but not for thee

SHUT UP!

A harsh highway

 The lonely road

To the end bitte. iN Kim Stanley Robinson's dystopic novel THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE, a heat wave kills thousands in India which calls forth a retaliatory ("terrorist") organization whose goal is to murder people responsible for global warming and mass casualties -- of course it's "science fiction-ey" but a lot of the corrective science in the novel is real --


This retaliatory group decides to murder every millionaire and over the course of the book, no matter how many protective devices and locations the rich create for themselves the avenging group (using drones) almost always figures out how to murder them -- even in their own beds.  It's an allegory but I wonder if anger at billionaires can transform into real retaliation -- not individual murders but class based take downs.

We can hope and we can dream

(and of course do whatever little bits we can in the here and now)

Synthetic cosmology

 Now astrophysics increasingly resembles quantum-encryption traffic analysis
