just watched atomic bamboozled and the fantasyland presentation in china. as a former student i much enjoyed being back in your classroom.

i indeed recall every film strip in elementary school with the same fantasyland narrator boasting every new industrial scale that would descend as a miracle of technology (as well as field trips to both trojan and bonneville, thankfully not hanford that i wouldn't learn of for another decade at the least).

do hope your next deep dive is into the next bamboozle of AI data centers as the threat that will demand that new nuclear energy (and likely takeover the science™️ and production w/3D printing). and the reality of wtf they would be needed as anything but to store the massive data of mass surveillance as the noose around our collective neck!

love what you've gone on to do, Prof Haaken

Yes socialists are a necessary corrective—esp now when a clear-eyed, uncorrupted opposition party is so critical. Way too many Democrats in congress are bought & it seems these newer

socialists candidates are definitely not.

Love this metaphor “The President controls the house and we are all losers in this Las Vegas like world of reckless gamblers.”
