Collections of science fiction short stories, curated by.. people I don’t know and who have no authority in my mind. They came into being pre-internet and still cling to relevancy.
I was excited to find these, but their stories are hit-and-miss.
TODO – re-read and especially the other essays.
 Not the cover of my edition.

I’m either stupid or arrogant to say that this isn’t particularly good. I’ll have to re-read it yet again before I can either give a description or a proper opinion.

A sort of “Art of War” on the the topic of the more recent so-called “Social Justice Warriors”.
Highly recommended, though not necessarily because of its topic. With history and opinion, and descriptions of tactics and rhetoric, it’s a fascinating set of opinions, positions and stories. I didn’t understand half of its references, but this sort of book reveals a kind of contemporary philosophic writing that I find fascinating.
I read this just after Free Speech Isn’t Free – (2016 book), by Roosh V, which I think helped a lot.

Yet another “everything” wiki, starting from fork of Wikipedia (MediaWiki)
Just as creationwiki exists for their biblical worldview, Infogalactic exists to separate itself from Wikipedia‘s// increasingly-disturbing ideologies and general untrustworthiness.

The intro of Arthur Conan Doyle‘s works, by his mentor Joseph Bell. A piece so powerful I had to type it up.
Warning: Inconsequential spoilers later on.

Think of this topic along the same lines as ethical vegetarianism. How to look at places and things and consider them in a different way.

Free Speech Isn’t Free – How 90 Men Stood Up Against The Establishment And Won, by Roosh Valizadeh
I like free speech, and already know the phrase “free speech isn’t free”, so this caught my attention.
It was cheap, and I’ve been making a habit of getting some more books in dead-tree format. I was bumbling around on Amazon when I found this. I have neither an idea who the author is nor do I know anything about this topic. I like that it’s “recent”.
After reading: It’s good storytelling, and even after its lengthy description of events I have definitely not heard of any of it. It describes the sorts of things people are willing to do once they succumb to an ideology, and the “two minutes of hate” they participate in. Even politicians must follow suit, if only with hollow rhetoric. Media are wholly in on it, as they are at best ambulance-chasers for entertainment-news, and at worst willing to start and stoke a fire to have any sort of relevancy.

Exploring this concept.
I got burnt out and bored pretty quickly, but here are some notes.. I guess.
