    When Science Fiction Grew Up
    http://conceptualfiction.com/whenscifigrewup.html
    In the summer of 1957,
    just a few weeks before the launch of the first Sputnik
    space satellite, some 23 science fiction magazines
    were operating in the United States. By the end of 1960,
    only six remained. During a period of just 28 months,
    fifteen sci-fi magazines disappeared from the magazine
    racks.

    Bikers vs. ISIS? Dutch motorcycle gang gets green light to fight Islamic State — RT News

    In other news: motorkáři se rychle stáhli poté, co zjistili, že v Kobani se netočí pivo a že shazování letecké pomoci v podobě sudů na padácích by bylo problematické z náboženských důvodů.

    Američtí dobrovolníci se naopak stáhli poté, co zjistili, že v regionu nefungují splachovací záchody.

    20 years of blogging
    http://scripting.com/2014/10/07/20YearsOfBlogging.html
    It's hard to accept, when you're expecting accolades, to find that the accolades come in the form of rotten tomatoes, hurled at maximum velocity, at your virtual body parts. But there it is.
    ...
    Blogging makes you unemployable. I haven't had a real job since I started blogging. I would love to create a publishing platform for millions of people.

    How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything - Slashdot
    http://science.slashdot.org/.../22/1312251/how-our-botched-understanding-of-science-ruins-everything
    "Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry writes at The Week, "If you ask most people what science is, they will give you an answer that looks a lot like Aristotelian 'science' — i.e., the exact opposite of what modern science actually is. Capital-S Science is the pursuit of capital-T Truth. And science is something that cannot possibly be understood by mere mortals. It delivers wonders. It has high priests. It has an ideology that must be obeyed. This leads us astray. ... Countless academic disciplines have been wrecked by professors' urges to look 'more scientific' by, like a cargo cult, adopting the externals of Baconian science (math, impenetrable jargon, peer-reviewed journals) without the substance and hoping it will produce better knowledge. ... This is how you get people asserting that 'science' commands this or that public policy decision, even though with very few exceptions, almost none of the policy options we as a polity have have been tested through experiment (or can be). People think that a study that uses statistical wizardry to show correlations between two things is 'scientific' because it uses high school math and was done by someone in a university building, except that, correctly speaking, it is not. ... This is how you get the phenomenon ... thinking science has made God irrelevant, even though, by definition, religion concerns the ultimate causes of things and, again, by definition, science cannot tell you about them. ... It also means that for all our bleating about 'science' we live in an astonishingly unscientific and anti-scientific society. We have plenty of anti-science people, but most of our 'pro-science' people are really pro-magic (and therefore anti-science). "
