The Voodoo Doll Was Never Voodoo: How Medical Apartheid Built a Myth and Erased Black Genius

Jessica and Cassey asked what the Game of Life is about. Here is how I understand it: it resembles games like checkers, in that there is a grid of squares that can have a piece on them, or not. Like checkers, the pieces are placed according to certain rules. Unlike checkers, there are no players. Instead, the rules fully determine what will happen on the grid; no human decision-making is needed to advance the game. The only human choice is the initial setup of the pieces. The rules are very simple (there are only three rules) and were carefully chosen by Conway, through experimentation, to produce particular patterns that he felt were interesting. These patterns are, basically, pictures that many people feel resemble living organisms. The rules generate a lot of things that look kinda like little bacteria or little airplanes or such. They are just pictures, of course, but the pictures naturally encourage the question of if real living things might also be the result of a "game" of deceptively simple rules that produce complex, unpredictable patterns. Also, the patterns are what computer scientists call Turing complete, which means that if the patterns are understood in a particular symbolic way, they can be harnessed to do math and logic problems. They can in fact do anything that any type of computer can do. So, the patterns are a compelling visual illustration of the idea of computation; a mathematical abstraction made tangible. And they encourage questions about the relationship of biological life to computation. Systems similar to the Game of Life have also been used to model social relationships and many other types of emergent patterns. To me, it encourages humility to remember that I may behave like a part of a larger machine at times.

Opposition to monopolies was one of the motivations for the American Revolution.^[1] opposed the system of royal monopolies and patents

American Founding Father Thomas Paine argued against royal monopolies during the Revolution Controversy, a pamphlet war debate about the French Revolution. Paine believed "that there shall be no monopolies of any kind — that all trades shall be free and every man free to follow any occupation by which he can procure an honest livelihood, and in any place, town, or city throughout the nation."

The Wealth of Nations was influential in the early American anti-monopoly movement.^[2]

• James Dobson's War on America by Gil Alexander-Moegerle

Dobson believes that gender roles and sexual orientation are not innate; they are learned during childhood. Through his parenting advice and lobbying organizations he advocates for the instruction of children in heterosexuality and traditional gender roles, which Dobson believes are mandated by the Christian Bible. He advocates for "family values," a project which aims to protect the institution of marriage from the perceived dangers of feminism and the LGBT rights movement. After his rise to prominence through promoting corporal punishment of disobedient children in the 1970s, Dobson became a founder of purity culture in the 1990s.
