My Yahoo news page came up with the following headline, recently: “Bernie Sanders followers are among the smartest… They don’t believe anything. The post must have proof…” I didn’t read further. I’m not a Bernie Sanders fan, though some of my Facebook friends hav

Eating Our Way Into The Future
Mar 21, 2017
A magnet given to me by a friend sits on my refrigerator door. It reads, “If you don’t take care of your body, where will you live?” Anyone who doubts good nutrition is important only needs to look at the role it played in the development of our species. As writer Suzana H

The Lost Dividend Of The Alt-Right And Alt-Left
Mar 20, 2017
James Wolcott in a recent essay pokes his finger at the thorn of my discontent. We are in a period of hysteria where the political alt-right and alt-left, overblown with fears and secretly hoping for a revolution, begin to sound the same. As Wolcott explains, the two sides may not

Edward Snowden’s Got Our Back
Mar 16, 2017
Part of me identifies with Donald Trump. When a politician wants to get something controversial done, the media is as welcome as mosquitoes at a fishing hole. Sometimes journalists do a shoddy job of covering the issues. Sometimes the headlines are out of cinque with the story,

We’re No Angels — But We’re Pretty Good
Mar 10, 2017
I am wary that nerds are swallowing too many algorithms when I read interviews like the one recently published in Wired. (“The God Complex,” by Olivia Solon, Wired, March 2017, pgs. 18-19.) Yuval Harari has written a new book, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, in which h

PewDiePie — All The Rage In Every Sense Of The Word
Mar 09, 2017
I saw several references to PewDiePie on Facebook, recently, and also in the gossip area of my Yahoo page. Whether the name belonged to a person or a dessert, I didn’t know and didn’t much care. But the buzz grew until it piqued my curiosity. For my readers, many of whom are
