Although I haven't read the novel, it would be most meta irony if the article's author was missing the book's subtle societal criticism.

I agree with almost everything pg said in that essay. But I also agree that the the best economy of the future will (someday) include a minimum living wage like this. That's because it's not a bill in pursuit of some Utopian equa

My first reaction at how public he is making his identity and why he disclosed those documents was that he is seeking fame and flattery. But it's actually the best thing to do. By making sure the public knows who he is, where he is, a

But it looked like there was scarcity to the consumer. When you are the one means of distribution, you can create as much scarcity as you want. It just seems that the record labels and movie industry have carried out that ruse for so long

At first I wasn't sure if "Defining Property" was one of the most insightful essays I read in a long time, or lazy logic on Paul's part trying to protect the internet in the copyright debate. But I'm pretty sure Paul is talking about somet

Considering NASA's recent performance record and what the motivation for spaceflight was in the 20th century (Russia), I understand your reasoning. But government sponsored space programs pursue valuable goals private organizations never c

The lack of government funding for a space exploration program makes me as sad and angry as anyone. However, I find Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan's argument against commercialized space-flight lame. They say it would be less safe than a

First of all, thanks a lot for sharing this Paul. I have just entered college and have only just started to see the importance of these lessons you illustrate: Accepting the past and being good to ourselves and each other. Unfortunately, t

The military has been investing huge amounts of money into robotics for decades now, and most of the advancements in capability have been linear (and expensive). But now the exciting thing is that thanks to Willow Garage, Aldebaran-Robotic

I think your argument is aiming at the right target, but is using the wrong ammo. The essay outlines why piracy is not possible (or at least practical) for space commerce. However, it is very plausible that nations will fight over shipping

A fascinating read and good outline for what space battles require, but not a predication of what future space combat will look like. By limiting the discussion to only technology that we could build today, the exact scenarios in here will

This essay admits the fact that there will always be someone willing to "come out of the woodwork" to implement the SOPA. However, the reason this idea could work is that the programmers you have building the law will never be as smart as

The most exciting part is that once a few large companies like FOXCONN make a commitment to robotic manufacturing, we may be able to see the exponential decreases in robot costs we have been waiting for as they want cheaper sensors and actu

Awesome essay from Paul, very insightful. This mindset is good at not only helping yourself become yourself, but placing the best people in your life. If you spend your entire life trying to please everyone you meet, decide who you should b
