Writer's Block

Writing is an introvert's way of having a conversation without dealing with extroverts.

Play

Play is the art of experiencing the improbable before it becomes reality.

Technology

Tools only have value if they're used to do something meaningful.  Otherwise, they're wasted resources -- or worse.

Econogasm

If capitalism's invisible hand can solve your problems, then your hand can start a family.

Shopping Spree

Living it up because overconsumption will cause a population collapse is like a murderer going on a shooting spree because the police might kill him.

With all the species going extinct, ecology has become a forensic science.  Too bad the killers get to decide what's legal.

Heavy Lifting

Keeping the idiots from ruining the world is like trying to stop an avalanche with a snow shovel.

Higher Education

Sometimes I feel like a passenger on the Titanic who, having seen the iceberg approaching, is thinking about studying to be a crew member.
