    How industrialists created the consumer culture to keep people occupied. Baa.

    It's encouraging to know that there's plenty of room for improvement. Our world is a product of dirty historical conditions, from apes through tyrants to masterminds. We can clean them up to make a better world possible.

    Quoted: The urge to buy is as manufactured as the stuff you have heaped in your shopping basket.

    Schools are evil, here's why.

    Quoted: Teaching means many different things, but six lessons are common to schoolteaching from Harlem to Hollywood. You pay for these lessons in more ways than you can imagine, so you might as well know what they are

    An interesting perspective on recent history: industrialization created free time (unused mental capacity or "cognitive surplus"), TV filled it at first but now we are finding more constructive ways to apply it.

    Quoted: I started telling [a TV producer] about the Wikipedia article on Pluto...She heard this story and she shook her head and said, "Where do people find the time?" That was her question. And I just kind of snapped. And I said, "No one who works in TV gets to ask that question. You know where the time comes from. It comes from the cognitive surplus you've been masking for 50 years."

    Quoted: Computers, in Wozniak's scheme, will increase our intellectual capacity and enhance our rational self-control. Wozniak is a kind of algorithmic man. He's exploring what it's like to live in strict obedience to reason. On first encounter, he appears to be one of the happiest people I've ever met.

    kind of an interesting read, linked from shane's fake steve jobs post.

    Quoted: “If the typical Gore event was 20 people in a living room writing six-figure checks,” Gorenberg told me, “and the Kerry event was 2,000 people in a hotel ballroom writing four-figure checks, this year for Obama we have stadium rallies of 20,000 people who pay absolutely nothing, and then go home and contribute a few dollars online.”

    Quoted: There is some irony in the fact that the architect of the most recent campaign-finance law also happens to be the Republican presidential nominee. John McCain likely views all that has happened with considerable trepidation. Contrary to the widespread assumption at the time the McCain-Feingold Act became law it has not hurt the Democratic Party
