This Week’s Quote: “My experience is that journalists report on the nearest-cliché algorithm, which is extremely uninformative because there aren’t many clichés, the truth is often quite distant from any cliché, and the only thing you can infer about the actual event was that this was the closest cliché….It is simply not possible to appreciate the sheer awfulness of mainstream media reporting until someone has actually reported on you. It is so much worse than you think.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky

This Week’s Quote: “Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group. Initially our loyalties were to ourselves and our immediate family, next, to bands of wandering hunter-gatherers, then to tribes, small settlements, city-states, nations. We have broadened the circle of those we love…If we are to survive, our loyalties must be broadened further, to include the whole human community, the entire planet Earth. Many of those who run the nations will find this idea unpleasant. They will fear the loss of power.” —Carl Sagan
