Tony Fadell is a perfect fit for The Purpose Drive Life (see below). As the designer of the iPod he made something that allowed all the money formerly made by the music industry to be given to Apple by laundering through Luxembourg while at the same time making it virtually impossible for musicians except maybe Carly Rae Jepsen, the Gangnam Style dude, and Taylor Swift, to earn any on the company’s industry-controlling jukebox.
No excerpts, the guy’s a crushing bore.
Best comment, ever, though:
When will this be available at ChinaMart?
Unintentional sidesplitter:
I discovered there was your thermostat that controls 50-60% of your energy costs every year — and no one knows how to use them and they’re ugly and frustrating.
If you say so.
I’m taking nominations and suggestions for The Purpose Driven Life. If you have someone you think ought to be part of the series, send a link and a short excerpt you’d like used, plus any snark you think is appropriate.
The purpose of The Purpose Driven Life is to profile the wizards of American tech innovation where all the advances never seem more than trivial but are lauded as game-changers because you can download them, log on or buy them at a consumer electronics Apple-like store. They’re replacements for stuff that already works, only newly controlled by smartphones, useless schemes and software for ripping off society or, in general, things that enrich the geniuses and the shoeshine class but no one else.
DD cannot be nominated for The Purpose Driven Life.
Cyberattacks come first. Hurricane Sandy gets second billing.

Proclamation 8910 of November 30, 2012
Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience
Month, 2012
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Every day, Americans across our country–from
entrepreneurs and college students to families and
community leaders–rely on critical infrastructure to
travel and communicate, work and play. The assets and
systems we depend on are essential to our way of life,
and during Critical Infrastructure Protection and
Resilience Month, we maintain our commitment to keeping
our critical infrastructure and our communities safe
and resilient.
Our Nation’s critical infrastructure is complex and
interconnected, and we must understand not only its
strengths, but also its vulnerabilities to emerging
threats. Cyber incidents can have devastating
consequences on both physical and virtual
infrastructure, which is why my Administration
continues to make cybersecurity a national security
priority. As we continue to work within existing
authorities to fortify our country against cyber risks,
comprehensive legislation remains essential to
improving infrastructure security, enhancing cyber
information sharing between government and the private
sector, and protecting the privacy and civil liberties
of the American people.
Physical threats also put our Nation’s most important
assets at risk. Destruction caused by devastating
storms and other natural disasters this year
underscored our reliance on our critical
infrastructure. Yet, these tragic events also
demonstrated once again the strength and resolve of the
American people when we work together to recover and
rebuild …
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim December 2012 as
Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience
Month. I call upon the people of the United States to
recognize the importance of protecting our Nation’s
resources and to observe this month with appropriate
events and training to enhance our national security
and resilience.
Anything else that happens will have to be taken care by the government and other top officials around the world. I can’t really say how bad it will get, but if you think it’s going to be catastrophic, save up supplies like food and water and be prepared for looters, just like you would for a zombie apocalypse, and make sure to get in bunkers, in case an all out nuclear war happens.
The looming threats of cyber attack are real and growing. Have your individual, personal Internet Disaster Recovery Plan ready and make it a priority — and prepare for the worst possible outcome—human annihilation.
Software tycoon John McAfee, wanted for questioning in the shooting death of his neighbor, has made his escape from Belize to Guatemala, where he told ABC News he will be seeking asylum.
“Thank God I am in a place where there is some sanity,” McAfee said. “I chose Guatemala carefully” …
[Now], all the misdirection may be coming to any end. Asked if he feels safe, McAfee told ABC News, “Oh, absolutely. I feel like I’ve come home.”
Go now to Guatemala for the holidays, journalist suckers.
Now, it’s important to underline that John McAfee, a pioneer in the anti-virus industry, has had nothing to do with the business since the 1990s.
One thing John McAfee remains, however, is a character …
But it would be ironic indeed if John McAfee, a man who was a leading light in the anti-virus industry 20-25 years ago, was located by the authorities because of sloppy IT security. [Cluley describes an iPhone snapped picture of McAfee that made news because it contained the ex-anti-virus king’s coordinates] The lesson that all of us should learn is to be very careful about what information a photograph might be secretly carrying within it regarding the when and where a picture was taken.
This wasn’t an easy article to write, as it involves someone who – although I never met him – I feel was an important element in the early years of my career in computer security.
From deep inna hart of WhiteManistan, worth 10,000 words.
Above, Cody Wilson, the now much publicized University of Texas student determined to make 3-D manufacturing plastic gun plans available to everyone via the Internet.
Defense Distributed has applied to the IRS to become a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that will focus on “charitable public interest publishing” – or distributing schematics of the weapons online for free. A new research and development limited liability company called Liberty Laboratories will manufacture and test the guns. A third company, the name of which Wilson would not provide, will manage the finances of the project as a private asset organization.
“[Wilson] met independently with ATF officials and even applied for another license, or ‘special occupation taxpayer,’ [for the manufacture of] more powerful weapons like machine guns,” continues the Guardian.
More recent news stories show at least the 3-D manufacturing publicity trip is honest. A YouTube video of an AR-15 — the lower bout of which is a 3-D plastic piece — falls apart in the hands of the shooter on the range after a few shots. (No link, Google)
“How do governments behave if they must one day operate on the assumption that any and every citizen has near instant access to a firearm through the Internet?” Wilson’s company site asks, rather brainlessly, here.
We already know how the US government acts, despite loud protestations of UN conspiracies to take away all firearms by the National Rifle Association.
So it’s quite obvious Americans really do need home 3D printers and plans to make plastic guns because soon, really soon, all their boom sticks will be taken away.
And in central Africa everyone will access to the Internet and 3-D printing very shortly so all the despots better watch out! 3-D gun manufacturing, a revolution in, basically — nothing, is upon us.
“Based on the limited data that are comparable among nations, the U.S. income distribution appears to be among the most unequal of all major industrialized countries … Empirical analyses estimate that the United States is a comparatively immobile society,” it reads.
Obviously, we have offsetting benefits. Like a geek and supporters who will bring us a “redoubt” of 3-D plastic gun manufacturing.
Disruptive technology is giving us such innovation, progress and collective and individual empowerment to the trivial gadgeteers and extremists, it’s hard to know what’s next. God bless the USA.
The mainstreaming of Ted Nugent as a pundit and personality demonstrates a deep flaw in American character — the real enjoyment and approval of those who are defined by their malice toward others.
Ted Nugent is now much of the GOP electorate. He is one of the most recognizable faces of the Psychopath Vote. And it’s why the party is essentially dead except in gerrymandered WhiteManistan.
There is no question that wishing ill on others is just about all that motivates Nugent. It’s his money-maker. One only has to read a year of his columns at the Washington Times and tabulate the various curses and slurs he brings down on others weekly.
Today is no exception. At the heart of his column is the assertion that the poor, those receiving benefits as part of the in-tatters social safety net, should have their right to vote rescinded. While it may seem shocking and reflexively nasty it’s not an uncommon sentiment in 2012 USA.
On election night Nugent publicly choked on his own bile. And he quickly adopted the odious bigot’s theory of everyone else in the the Republican Party’s top rung — the only reason Barack Obama won was because he gave stuff to lots of people, like the Obamaphone. And those people are all leeches, bringing the country down.
The three sacred entitlement cows in the room that no politician wants to poke are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A blinding statement of the obvious is that we are never going to get our financial house in order until these sacred entitlement cows are not only poked, but slaughtered …
In addition to slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows that consume a vast majority of the federal budget (and I use the term budget generously), let’s truly spread the pain around and raise taxes on everyone, including the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes. Those Americans need to have some skin in the game, too. I recommend at least a 5 percent federal income tax bracket for them.
Let’s also stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them.
Ted Nugent is a raging public bigot, full time. It’s his career. He appears regularly on television and lousy cable tv specials made especially for him.
In a civil society Nugent would have no place. But that’s not us. His presence is a symptom of underlying sepsis in the soul, the yen to see others, always the weaker, publicly hurt or destroyed.
Mitt Romney was all right with Ted Nugent, even seeking his approval. So if there is good news in any of this, it is that Nugent is so public and so very obviously a good example of the Republican Party.
The former [Richard Feynman] student who stands out to me the most was a friend of mine and fellow homesteader in the jungle here in Belize who, sadly, died of cancer about two years ago at age 51. Mark Ludwig had a doctorate in particle physics. For his PhD thesis, he had worked out by a different means one of the classic math derivations of modern physics. I marveled that it had not been worked out as he did it long before, but it was not a simple feat.
True? Probably.
It has the ring of it. Unlike John McAfee, Mark Ludwig was rock solid truth. However, there was always an element of mystery to him and it got stronger when he left the country for Belize and other parts in Central America many years ago. It lives on in his old books, by far the strangest and most idiosyncratic things on my bookshelf.
I knew Ludwig was a student of Richard Feynman’s at CalTech and the reference contains additional information congruent with what he’d told me over a few years back in the Nineties.
I first came to know the man in 1992, around the time of John McAfee’s hyping of the Michelangelo virus. I was interested in these contagious programs and found there was little information on their innards, their exact programming. Ludwig had written The Little Black Book of Computer Viruses, pictured, and it came with compilable source codes for a few simple viruses. (Two were basic DOS viruses. Two others, more accurately, worked at the level of the BIOS — since they operated from the boot sector of hard disks and floppies. This was the most effective method of virus spreading prior to common use global networked communication. There was a slang term to describe it — via sneaker net — or the running of disks and diskettes between machines.)
Ludwig sent me a copy of the book. This was forbidden stuff in 1992, you didn’t get malware every other day as an attachment in your spam folder, and it set me on a path into the virus underground, the results of which were published in my old virus-code Crypt Newsletter and, later, The Virus Creation Labs, which Ludwig published.
Although I have no figures, the original The Little Black Book (first edition is pictures, later editions revised the cover art) sold enough to launch Ludwig’s publishing company and make him infamous. For a time, he was successful at riling the anti-virus industry whose members were often compelled to purchase his CD-ROM virus collections so their programs didn’t miss anything.
The computer viruses in The Little Black Book were fairly simple by today’s standard. All written in assembly language, two file infectors didn’t do much of anything except slowly infect other small programs. One simple boot sector infector, called Kilroy, never spread. It had a habit of landing in a place on the hard disk the PC used as book-keeping for your files. And that immediately killed everything, requiring a clean-up.
However, the last virus in the book traveled around the world on floppy disks and diskettes. Dubbed Stealth.Boot.C, it was successful in the wild. A couple years after The Little Black Book was published I found from a colleague that it had infected quite a few PCs at the Washington Post. The friend remarked it was discovered because it often corrupted diskettes which were full of data.
The virus hid itself by copying part of its code to the data sectors on these diskettes. And if the diskette was full or near full when the virus tried to infect it, data was overwritten and lost.
From 1990 to 2002 Ludwig wrote virus black books, including even a dense, tangled volume on them as artificial life interleaved with a discussion on intelligent design/creationism. (It was uncharacteristically unpopular with the usual hacker crowd that bought his paperbacks.)
The last Ludwig volume was The Black Book of E-mail Viruses (also pictured).
By the time it was printed Ludwig had moved to Belize. Prior to 2000, he told me he thought the US was either going to fall or descend into total chaos and tyranny during a Millenium Bug crisis and occasional self-published pamphlets reflected this belief. Whatever the case, he wanted out of the country.
And so Ludwig left with his family to make a home in Belize where he pursued a hard fundamentalist Christianity, a life of faith (writing a couple more extreme books on this subject) and the building of geodesic domes.
Ludwig’s American Eagle, which an interesting publisher, was not the best place for my kind of book. The audience was all wrong, terribly so, now a matter of bemusement more than regret. You need a sense of humor to get what I did. Publishing black books on computer viruses was mostly for a totally humorless audience.
Indeed, a few years after the publication of VCL the company’s bestseller was a deplorable thing called Civil War II, a “think piece” on an alleged coming race war in America brought on by Hispanic gang revolt in southern California.
It was big with neo-Nazis.
I have a complete set of the black books of computer viruses and they indeed remain unique things. (Interested? They’re all mint to new. Plus you get an official GS “I was there” provenance. I might let go of them for a handsome figure.)
A new copy of Computer Virus Super Technology — 1996 reads “It is being published in a strictly limited edition of 500 copies and sold by invitation only to qualified people.” My copy is marked “review” in Ludwig’s handwriting. A collectible edition is billed as selling for 780-some bucks on Amazon.
Computer Virus Super Technology sold for $395 (see the back cover snap) which came to about two dollars/page although it was advertised, pre-publication, at a discounted $99.
In The Little Black Book of E-Mail Viruses, Ludwig’s last in 2002 — published from Panama, the author writes about progress and his philosophy:
[The Internet] has greatly increased the speed at which information flows and is generated. So one the one hand, a fairly simple virus can infect a million computers in a week, whereas that might have taken a year in the past. On the other hand, if a virus exploits a certain security weakness today, that weakness can be patched up by a software vendor this week and made widely available by automatic internet update next week …
These facts demand a different approach to learning about viruses. Frankly, I could write a book that contained examples of viruses that could be typed into your computer and let loose which would be fully capable of destroying the data on 100 million computers in one week. The problem is, first, that I don’t want to be responsible for doing that, and I know some idiot out there somewhere would actually sit down and type in anything I printed and send it on its merry way without having a clue to what he was doing. So it would be irresponsible to print such code. But secondly, this book would become obsolete after the idiot did that because it would force vendors to change programs so these viruses no longer worked.
So Ludwig asked readers to think of viruses more “conceptually,” to do a little of the mental work themselves. For this purpose, he included exercises.
“Get on the Internet and sleuth around with a search engine to see if you can locate a copy of the source code for the first generation file infecting virus called Jerusalem-B,” Ludwig wrote, for the first such exercise.
Now it’s an elementary task.
Time blows away everything. The physical reality of these books and what they contained are difficult to describe to people who are now growing up on smartphones and iJunk. Will apps for doing stupid, non-essential and unproductive things outnumber trivial PC viruses? Yep, and soon.
Long time readers will be familiar with the code “decoration” found at the footer of the main page and individual posts. It was the result of an error in the page designer’s template files, one of the WordPress default choices for style and look. And the only one I could stand.
After two years, I finally took the time to correct the error, which was trivial, yesterday. And now the virtual lint and dust bunnies are gone. Thanks to Frank at Pine View Farm for taking note and just putting enough of a bug into me to get to it.
John McAfee’s goose is now well and truly cooked with the media. Few trust what he writes or says and the consensus opinion, although not always flatly stated, is he’s a drug addict despite regular denials. The media in the US realizes the truth is impossible to get from him since so much of his life has been devoted to unusual media deceptions.
In this, McAfee resembles one part of very old hacker culture typified by those who got some of their kicks through a kind of malicious and reflexive horse-shitting and ranking on acquaintances.
Eventually, it always backfired. And so it has for the ex-anti-virus tycoon.
Before he went underground, Mr. McAfee led a noisy, opulent and increasingly stressful life here [in Belize]. He was known for the retinue of prostitutes who he says moved in and out of his house …
Some McAfee watchers have a different theory — namely, that he grew paranoid and perhaps psychotic after months of experimenting with and consuming MDPV, a psychoactive drug. These experiments were described in detail by Mr. McAfee himself, under the pseudonym “Stuffmonger??? in a forum on Bluelight, a Web site popular with drug hobbyists.
So, here’s one hypothesis: Rich man doses himself to madness while seeking sexual bliss through pharmacology. Then shoots neighbor in a rage. Case closed, right? Ah, but those Bluelight posts were a ruse, Mr. McAfee would later blog …
Throughout his varied, occasionally confounding and hoax-filled career, the one constant has been a genius for self-promotion.
Mr. McAfee bought this [Belize] property four years ago and, like much else about him, the reasons for his relocation, and what he was doing here, are a bit murky.
What is certain is that he bought a water taxi service and started a couple of small local businesses. The most ambitious was QuorumEx, a biotech start-up that aspired to develop natural antibiotics with plants in the Belizean rain forest …
The idea for the company made a certain sense: a guy who had spent years fighting computer viruses turns his attention and talents to combating bacteria. [Actually, it makes no sense. The two have nothing in common. I learned bacteriology as an avocation, about computer viruses as coincidental accident. And there’s no connection in which knowledge about one leads to knowledge about the other.]
Whether these Bluelight posts [by the anti-virus tycoon on ‘bath salts’ use] were just a charade, as Mr. McAfee contends, is impossible to say. But Dr. Paul Earley, an addiction specialist in Atlanta, said that MDPV users commonly rhapsodize about their early experiences, claiming the drug makes them alert, activated and in some cases fantastically randy.
“That’s part of the danger,??? Dr. Earley said. “The absence of any apparent side effects lures users into heavier and heavier doses and at some point, for reasons we don’t fully understand, MDPV becomes extremely toxic. Users become psychotic and paranoid. They hallucinate monsters. Often they think the police are after them. That is the classic MDPV profile.???
In 1992, the same year [McAfee Associates] had gone public, he began hyping the threat of a virus called Michelangelo, contending in television and newspaper interviews that it would waylay millions of computers.
The scare came and went with little notable impact, other than the one it had on the balance sheet of the company (very positive) and the reputation of Mr. McAfee (very negative).
Read all of it. If there’s a way to write something more damning and which, essentially, has the ring of truth, I don’t know it. By the end of the piece it’s clear David Segal, the Times reporter, has had all he can stand of the legend.
Again, McAfee is tied to drug runners, addiction, seedy bribery and a taste for young prostitutes. His blog, although occasionally amusing, instead of revealing any compelling counter-story has been a public relations disaster.
There may be a book in the shabby crack-up of John McAfee’s life but it won’t be successfully done by an amateur and peddled as an R. Crumb-like graphic novel. There’s no new Hemingway or Hunter Thompson in the pipeline, no Fear and Loathing in Ambergris Caye.
McAfee explained that infectious bacteria become dangerous only when they multiply to a certain concentration, at which point, thanks to a process called “quorum sensing,” they collectively shift to a pathogenic mode. The signal that modulates this response is a certain chemical pheromone — if a drug can block its action, the bacteria will never become dangerous. And because no bacteria are killed, the accelerated evolution that results in antibiotic resistance never occurs.
Yes, all bacteria are good little pups until they agree, in a big group, not to be. Quite.
While the reporter isn’t quite up enough on science to immediately call bullshit, he does get at it another way in looking at the man’s history and ways prior to his arrival in Belize.
Back at the end of 2010 I enumerated a year end list — the biggest threats to the nation’s security. They were all internal and that old list is here.
All the threats still exist. But number 4 on the list — the Republican Party — has climbed to the top. And that is because since December 2010, the stakes have become higher, the disasters greater. Even less has been done.
At the time:
The Republican Party is a threat to security. And not solely because of its descent into right-wing extremism …
As the party that denies science, one that will put people in committee chairmanships overseeing science and technology issues in the House who are basically opposed to science whenever it contradicts their political views, the GOP poses a threat to America’s future.
You can’t have a forward-looking and capable nation with people in power who truly believe global warming and evolution are hoaxes.
During the past election, global warming was a third rail issue. The President would not speak of it.
In fact, about the only thing he would talk about with any connection to it was how avid a developer of fossil fuels he would be. And Mitt Romney made a joke of global warming it at the Republican National Convention.
And then came Sandy, a storm so violent it delivered notice that in the future there would be more of the same.
The nation’s lifelines — its roads, airports, railways and transit systems — are getting hammered by extreme weather beyond what their builders imagined, leaving states and cities searching for ways to brace for more catastrophes like Superstorm Sandy.
Even as they prepare for a new normal of intense rain, historic floods and record heat waves, some transportation planners find it too politically sensitive to say aloud the source of their weather worries: climate change.
Political differences are on the minds of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, whose advice on the design and maintenance of roads and bridges is closely followed by states. The association recently changed the name of its Climate Change Steering Committee to the less controversial Sustainable Transportation, Energy Infrastructure and Climate Solutions Steering Committee.
Still, there is a recognition that the association’s guidance will need to be updated to reflect the new realities of global warming.
In the immediate future, global warming is going to cost life. It means the continuing destruction of infrastructure on a national scale. We can only cope with it.
But at this time the gift of the Republican Party has made movement on the issue, except in sneaking inches by government agency, impossible. The GOP has successfully convinced almost half the nation to share in its dangerous know-nothing-ism, aided and abetted by reactionary mega-corporate interests, plutocrat money and the fossil fuel industries which choose to maintain a status quo at the expense of everyone else.
“[Several] climate scientists say sea level along New York and much of the Northeast is about a foot higher than a century ago, mostly because of man-made global warming, and that added significantly to the damage when Sandy hit,” wrote the AP.
Yet, “In conservative states, the term ‘climate change’ is often associated with left-leaning politics … Planning for weather extremes is hampered by reluctance among many officials to discuss anything labeled ‘climate change’ … The Obama administration has also shied away from talking publicly about adaptation to climate change. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s office refused to allow any department officials to be interviewed by The Associated Press …”
It is not a bipartisan issue. The Republican Party and its bankrollers are entirely responsible for paralyzing a national response to global warming and accurate assessment and preparation for catastrophic weather. Democratic politicians won’t address it because to speak of it immediately mobilizes millions of dollars against them in re-election campaigns, all furnished by the radical right.
If it were Switzerland, Luxembourg or Andorra perhaps this would not matter. But we are not those countries and it very obviously does matter.
And it should come as a source of great outrage to the American people that the Republican Party would appoint a science-denier, Lamar Smith of Texas, to chair that body’s science panel. One can look at it as purely a political step taken to help guarantee paralysis as a national response.
The paralysis also infiltrates security and mainstream pundits.
“The U.S. must meet challenges such as climate change … says Patrick Doherty,” reads the caption under a photo of wreckage.
“Climate change is already with us,” Doherty writes. “Superstorm Sandy, the Derecho, Arctic melting, and droughts in the Midwest, India, China, and Russia this past year confirm the scientifically proven trend.”
Nowhere in the piece does Doherty acknowledge the political obstacle, the Republican Party, which has made dealing with it, even in some small ways, virtually impossible.
In fact, Doherty points to a column from Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, as something which may carry good advice on meeting American challenges. His use is to imply how the US could mobilize business capital by, for example, giving a corporate tax break to America’s big multi-nationals. But the Blankfein column is more interesting for how anti-solving problems it is.
For the first time in several generations, it has become clear that abundant domestic energy resources are within our reach, and that we have the technology to responsibly and safely extract it. The government needs to work with the private sector to implement effective and far-reaching policies to develop these resources.
That’s what you call a gold-plated recommendation for expanded use and mining of fossil fuels. Call it the accelerate-and-exacerbate-global warming answer to the problem of climate change. Blankfein, of course, does not have to worry about this. When climate change turns the Manhattan neighborhood of Goldman Sachs into a skyscraper version of Stiltsville in the Biscayne Bay, he will be gone.
You also might not have noticed that we’re barreling toward a “world of unprecedented heat waves, severe drought, and major floods in many regions.” Here in Washington, we’re too busy to pay attention to such trifles …
Meanwhile, evidence mounts that the legacy we pass along to future generations will be a parboiled planet.
But even Robinson can’t bring himself to write that it’s the GOP that has derailed the matter in the US.
To his credit he recommends the President do something:
And this is why President Obama should devote his next State of the Union address to climate change. He understands the science and knows the threat is real. Convincing the American people of this truth would be a great accomplishment …
The President has won re-election. There is no further political cost the GOP can extract from him. Telling the people about global warming in no uncertain terms is something he can do. Barack Obama can spell out who has blocked action, the very anti-science beliefs of the Republican Party, who supports them, and what the consequences have been at the federal and local level.
What was the Obama administration’s effort to battle climate change, or at least increase informed recognition of it, in the last year?
“Fueled by global warming, polar ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are now melting three times faster than they did in the 1990s, a new scientific study says,” reads a story, today, from the AP.
“Greenland is really taking off,??? National Snow and Ice Data Center scientist Ted Scambos told the news agency. Scambos is a a co-author of the paper referenced by the AP and published in the peer-reviewed journal, Science.
So if many in our country think that putting a modern Republican in power is a way to move the place forward, to help it deal with the very complex global problems with which it is currently faced, they’re one with entropy, which is the falling apart of everything, from order to disorder, until there is nothing left. That’s a tragedy and we should not delude ourselves that such actions, behaviors or opinions defend anything worthwhile.
