Radon: Testing your home for the earth’s evil vapors.

Unlike other dangerous exposures to carcinogens, with radon there are no careless manufacturers or derailed trains full of chemicals to blame. Radon gas has emanated from the Earth’s crust for millenia, and it only became a problem with the invention of the indoors, where the radon gas that seeps from rocks becomes trapped and accumulates. Without a villain, the onus is on individuals to determine whether their homes are built over a radon-breathing crack in the earth.

Unraveling the Many Mysteries of Tituba, the Star Witness of the Salem Witch Trials.

Her history was written by men, working when African voodoo was more electrifying than outmoded English witchcraft. All wrote after the Civil War, when a slave was understood to be black.

AI's cozy crony capitalism: Regulating artificial intelligence presents a “Baptists and bootleggers” problem.

Something similar to the licensing control suggested by Altman was used by Queen Elizabeth I in 16th century England. She assigned transferable printing rights to a particular printing guild member in a frustrated effort to regulate and censor printing.

Altman's moral appeal rests on the notion of preserving a nation of people or their way of life.

Limitarismus – Warum Reichtum begrenzt werden muss. (Via moment.at.)

Anstelle unseres derzeitigen Systems bietet Robeyns eine atemberaubend klare Alternative: den Limitarismus. Die Antwort auf so viele Probleme des neoliberalen Kapitalismus – und die Chance auf eine weitaus bessere, gerechtere Welt – liegt darin, dem Reichtum, den eine Person anhäufen kann, eine harte Grenze zu setzen. Denn niemand verdient es, Millionär zu sein. Nicht einmal Sie.
