The TV blandwidth is slightly widened with the US broadcast of “A Brief History of Disbelief” hosted by Jonathan Miller. I’ve just seen the third of the trinity on atheism. If you didn’t get the chance to watch, too bad. Here is a link to the show homepage… better luck next time

Global Footnote
Harry Potter, the last book sales figure mark an odd data day. Global sales 72 million. US sales 8 million. These figures for a book in English, yet sold worldwide. A global readership. Check the ratio again. Any guess about the relative value or earnings power needed by each of the readers to consume the written word? Any guess about what that means to your literacy dependent future?
Near A Dying Sun
We let in too many with money on their mind. Too many homo economus , too many lawyers with anonymous ideas. They will never produce a company nor originate a novel approach. Unfortunately we would be better off led by those who can read poetry. They have inspiration, or seek it. Even if they are partial poets or bad leaders we will have a better time. A time of poetry over paltry. A better journey even if we are walking.
