Modern politics has become one huge grift. The Republicans aren't the solution to the problems Democrats present, any more than the Democrats are the solution to the problems Republicans present. We need new thinking, new blood. Politi

It's not toxic to say "all these distractions and interruptions stop me from doing what you pay me to do, here is what I need to do in order to perform my best work". It's toxic to tell that person that they're bein

Social media didn't cause the problem, but it very much accelerated it. I think the media aspect of it is related to the uptick in 24-hour news that began with Ted Turner and CNN, and got its own acceleration with 9/11. Social

Copyright was a way to give rightsholders incentive to do what they do, while still ensuring that the work enters the public domain , which is and always has been the absolute endgame of copyright. Today's copyright is much different,
