didn't enjoy
creation, about charles darwin. best line: "must our children be revolutionaries at nine years of age" - emma d. set entirely in england during the post-adventure phase of his life, unclear to me why the filmmakers skipped his
five year voyage around the earth.
staycationed. a little profiling of medicaid recipients' out-of-pocket health spending-to-income ratio, a little investigating of the

read some articles..
(
1) social organization of the (open source)
r project.
(
2) the end of the cold war.
'in the nine months that gave birth to a new world..the united states and the soviet union were largely passive midwives. they made history by what they did not do.'
'psychologists have christened "hindsight bias"-the tendency to regard actual historical outcomes as more probable than alternatives that seemed real at the time'
(
3) evidence-basis and the doctor-patient interaction.
'his wife with metastatic ovarian cancer had spent six days in the hospital without a single doctor engaging her in a genuine conversation.'
'the new people in charge..believe that care should be configured as a commodity, its contents reduced to equations, all of its dimensions measured and priced, all patient choices formulated as retail purchases.'
(
4) the socially deviant lion.
'they watched him mate for two days straight with a lioness he had killed.'
(
5) utopian disaster response.
'human beings reset themselves to something altruistic, communitarian, resourceful, and imaginative after a disaster.'
