Damn History and Statistics

Posted on July 23, 2018 by post-carbon-man

In our March 2018 essay “History as Propaganda” we discussed how almost everything we know about the past has been reconstructed to inform the present. It is what we want to believe in and this may, or may not, be … Continue reading →

Books Don’t Hate

Posted on March 21, 2018 by post-carbon-man

Explaining the Stoopid Impossibility of Brexit to Children

Posted on July 20, 2017 by post-carbon-man

Brexit is nothing but a great big fat lesson for our children. It plays out like the tale of “The Emperor who had no Clothes”. What would such a modern morality tale look like? Well, something like this: Once upon … Continue reading →
