This will read like the petty retaliation that it is. Catholic voters: Pay heed.

1. Adjust expectations of productivity.

2. Fighting for science now = more science we can all do later. So, fight!

3. Build community—every scientist is a friend now. We are in this together.

4. Do the science you can do, w/ the time & resources you have.

5. The wonders remain! Soak them in.

Just finished. Fan-fucking-tastic! This is honestly just one of the most accessible books in this vein that analyzes the problems and has genuinely practicable solutions. It has aspects of horizontalist approaches which I quite appreciate. And it’s only 128 pages. Read it! 🤓

VIII Last came Anarchy: he rode On a white horse, splashed with blood; He was pale even to the lips, Like Death in the Apocalypse. IX And he wore a kingly crown; And in his grasp a sceptre shone; On his brow this mark I saw – ‘I AM GOD, AND KING, AND LAW!’

The Masque of Anarchy (1832)

-Percy Shelley

From the linked website: “We find a more apocalyptic vision of the future in Robert Seymour’s 1820s The March of the Intellect, where a jolly automaton stomps across society. Its head is a literal stack of knowledge — tomes of history, philosophy, and mechanic manuals power two gas-lantern eyes. It wears secular London University as a crown. The machine smokes while crusading, blowing hot-air-balloon follies from a pipe bowl, carried on the breath of its menacing exhalation: “I Come I Come!!”. Wielding a straw broom, capped with the head of reformer Henry Brougham, it sweeps away all potential encumbrances. Gone are the pleas, pleadings, delayed parliamentary bills, and obsolete laws. Vicars, rectors, and quack doctors are turned on their heads. Like Frankenstein’s creature, birthed from a pick ‘n’ mix of exhumed organs and ossified science, the monster in this satirical cartoon is patchwork knowledge itself, practically applied and made widely available for the very first time.”

Looks like I found the cover image from my spring Reading AI grad course at UVA. That was from an 1820s series entitled the March of Intellect. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/m... “I come, I come!”
