The Industrial Revolution of the Middle Ages by Jonathan Goodwin
The Industrial Revolution of the Middle Ages by Jonathan Goodwin: Bernard of Chartres:
"We are as dwarfs mounted on the shoulders of giants, so that although we perceive many more things than they, it is not because our vision is more piercing or our stature higher, but because we are carried and elevated higher thanks to their gigantic size."

House of Eratosthenes
Liberal Women
We start with the A-through-E “get me a beer” scale. An “A-girl” will get a guy a beer so he doesn’t have to get up. A “B-girl” will get a guy a beer provided he treats her as a dignified and intelligent human being, meaning, says “please” and “thank you” as his Mom taught him. A “C-girl” might get him a beer but she’s going to keep count of who does how many things for who, and after she gets his beer he’s going to “owe” her one. A “D-girl” won’t get him a beer, and an “E-girl” will build an identity for herself out of her refusal to get him a beer.

If Edward Snowden Is a Criminal, Why Aren’t the Rest of Us Criminals As Well? by John W. Whitehead
If Edward Snowden Is a Criminal, Why Aren’t the Rest of Us Criminals As Well? by John W. Whitehead: “We have been silent witnesses of evil deeds: we have been drenched by many storms; we have learnt the arts of equivocation and pretence; experience has made us suspicious of others and kept us from being truthful and open; intolerable conflicts have worn us down and even made us cynical. Are we still of any use? What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, straightforward men. Will our inward power of resistance be strong enough, and our honesty with ourselves remoreseless enough, for us to find our way back to simplicity and straightforwardness?” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1943
