@fellasinukraine @pebblewerm_ @caitoz I was conceived under a fallout cloud. I have spent 60 years following & researching nuclear weapons. My parents held Dr. Pauling in high regard. Mom told about meeting Nevil Shute while he researched *On the Beach*. Tell me all about your computer game.

@landryst @techreview I suddenly realized how much my attitudes have been influenced by Frank Herbert's Dune & Destination Void dystopias. Dune's Butlerian Jihad & the god-like, time-traveling Void Ship who demanded humans WorShip him. "Surprise me, Holy Void!"

@pinktastic615 @elonmusk @robbystarbuck *Please Understand Me 2*, by David Keirsey (Author) states (running on faulty memory, here) "when you look at the temperament of those attracted to journalism, it's hardly surprising most are leftists."

@landryst @HardenKurtJ @rvisotski Pun from Douglas Hofstadter in Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. Hofstadter made a joke on Bach's Goldberg Variations that I refashioned (varied) into 'Berg's Very Gold Box'.

@Josephusi230 @CPoppino @JorJorWell Can it be traced back to Frank Herbert's *Hellstrom's Hive"? https://t.co/C2QcC1YxRV The creepiest novel I've ever read. Herbert was creeped out by an award-winning (satisfied Hollywood's collectivist bent) narrated by a voice actor as "Dr. Hellstrom", so he wrote this.

@danesh_talab American politics were formed by the failures of state religion: British Civil War, Massachusetts Puritans hanging Quakers for being Quakers. See also Count Leo Tolstoy's *The Kingdom of God is Within you.* https://t.co/8kXOJBlgYC

@pt35mm @nsarwark @KCavalaro "If you have stuck to what has always been bully & hate." Please expand. Are you saying "libertarianism has always been bully & hate?" I remember John Hospers & Tony Nathan. I respected David Bergland & David Nolan. I voted for Roger Lea MacBride for POTUS. https://t.co/e4FGPMjIvx
