The web's most important decision.

For a while, in the early 90’s, the web was in competition with Gopher, an alternative Internet-backed protocol developed at the University of Minnesota (…) Gopher was hierarchical by design, a stark contrast to the sprawling, nonhierarchic hyperlink of the web. Gopher also put resources behind search and design of sites years before technologies like Google and browsers like Netscape would do the same for the web.

Geschichte des Rassismus: Das Machtsystem

Ich kenne mehr Menschen, die Kant und Hegel als Leuchtfeuer der Zukunft zelebrieren, als solche, die wissen, dass Kant das Konzept „Rasse“ nach Deutschland trug, um, wie Hegel, Sklaverei und die Tötung von Schwarzen zu rechtfertigen. Und ich kenne mehr Menschen, die sich über Political Correctness empören, als Menschen, die sich an rassistischen Begriffen stören.

What The Last of Us, Snowpiercer and 'climate fiction' get wrong.

We've long held that people are just lacking information about climate change and that's why they're not acting. But now we're starting to see the opposite: that the more you know – if the knowing is mainly bad news – the more paralysed and hopeless you feel.
