“The widespread inability to understand technological artifacts as fabricated entities, as social and cultural phenomena, derives from the fact that in retrospect only those technologies that prove functional for a culture and can be integrated into everyday life are 'left over.' However, the perception of what is functional, successful and useful is itself the product of social and cultural--and last but not least--political and economic processes. Selection processes and abandoned products and product forms are usually not discussed.” FactsLastsFormPoliticalCultureLeftSocialProcessTechnologySuccessfulEconomicProductsProvePerceptionEverydayAbandonedEntityTechnologicalEveryday LifeSelectionInabilityIntegratedRetrospectArtifacts Author:Johannes Grenzfurthner
“One of the great things about a free market is that it's inherently and indefatigably Darwinistic. Left to its own devices, a free market will eventually weed out the stupid from both 'ends' of the food chain otherwise described as supply and demand. As money is liberated from the hands of the stupid, those who would sell products or services to the stupid will eventually lose their share of the marketplace. Devoid of any 'benevolent' interference from government, the process is gloriously relentless, and cannot help but yield a successively smarter class of participants.” EndsHelpingHandsGovernmentLeftProcessLosesClassShareStupidProductsDemandSellsGreat ThingsChainsDevicesYieldWeedSmarterFree MarketMarketplaceRelentlessLiberatedInterferenceParticipantsBenevolentFood ChainSupply And Demand Author:Edward Britton

“The Mongols consumed a steady diet of meat, milk, yogurt, and other dairy products, and they fought men who lived on gruel made from various grains. The grain diet of the peasant warriors stunted their bones, rotted their teeth, and left them weak and prone to disease. In contrast, the poorest Mongol soldier ate mostly protein, thereby giving him strong teeth and bones.” MenGivingMadeLeftStrongProductsDiseaseWeakSoldierVariousBonesTeethWarriorMeatDietsSteadyMilkContrastGrainConsumedPeasantsPoorestProteinDairyYogurtMongolsDairy Products Book:Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World Source: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

“I think a lot of the people who feel out of step with contemporary society or feel that they've been left back economically or feel disaffected and are drawn to the Republican Party, they are looking for a news source that will tell them something they would like to hear and then is reassuring, emotionally rewarding, and confirming. And affirming to them. So to deliver that product is pretty valuable. It's kind of like they're an insurgency and they're not getting what they need to hear from the mainstream.” PeopleThinkingNeedsFeelsKindLeftPartyStepsProductsSourceRepublicanNewsValuableContemporaryMainstreamRepublican PartyAffirmingReassuringInsurgencyContemporary Society Author:Sheldon Whitehouse
