[sudo-discuss] Next week's late afternoon/early evening workshops - inspiration from Carl Sagan

[Romy Ilano]

Setting the tone for our late afternoon workshops next week at SudoRoom ...
they will be running roughly from Monday -> Thursday from around 3pm-5pm.



“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time
-- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly
all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when
awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one
representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people
have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question
those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting
our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish
between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing,
back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of
substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second
sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator
programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but
especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

- Carl Sagan, the Demon Haunted World
