Australians will now get an early taste of 5G's “full potential” when telecommunications giants seek to launch the country's first ‘millimetre wave’ 5G customer trials by mid-2020. [..Continued]
Important questions. Can we answer them?
I'm very impressed by Tucker Carlson's rigorous analysis of situations and his insight into their deeper implications. He's one observer of our way of life to whom I'll listen carefully and with great interest. I'm beginning to regard him in the same light as Victor Davis Hanson and others of his ilk. What's even more important to me is that Carlson doesn't appear to be an ideologue. His analysis is based on logic and reason, and he doesn't push either a right-wing or a left-wing agenda. He'll criticize both sides equally if the need arises. That's rare in these troubled times... more »

Covid-19 as symptom: Notes on the production of a virus
Understandably, these days we hear a lot about the symptoms of Covid-19 (dry cough, high fever, etc.). Conversely, there is much less discussion of the virus as a symptom.

If mainstream information focuses on the management of the epidemic, reflecting on its causes c... more »

Is Capitalism a Disease?
The scientific tradition of the “West,” of Europe and North America, has had its greatest success when it has dealt with what we have come to think of as the central questions of scientific inquiry: “What is this made of?” and “How does this work?” Over the centuries, we have developed more and more sophisticated ways of answering these questions. We can cut things open, slice them thin, stain them, and answer what they are made of. We have made great achievements in these relatively simple areas but have had dramatic failures in attempts to deal with more complex systems.
