It’s miles ahead of most people’s thinking in 2021 and largely up-to-date, though in a certain way will give a superficial impression of being dated. As I’ve been invited, along with a large list of terrific speakers, to be part of a Cold War Truth Commission

Blinken, Biden, and the Blob
Blinken, Biden, and the Blob took fright
But they knew just what to do.
They’d run enough ads and start enough fads

“Into democracy!”
Said Blinken, Biden, and the Blob.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,

Brazil in the World
Next only to the worst destroyers of the earth’s climate slowing their destructive activities, one of the best steps that could be taken for this planet might be for the destroyers of the Amazon rain forests to knock it off.

John Mueller’s Strange Take on “The Stupidity of War”
How can you not love a book called The Stupidity of War? I’m tempted to count the ways. John Mueller’s new book is an odd one, for which I hope there is a perfect audience out there — though I’m not sure who it is.
