"[T]he Death Star requires .03% of the GDP of each planet in the Republic/Empire annually. By comparison, this is the equivalent of about $5 billion per year in the current-day United States. In other words, not only is the Death Star affordable, it's not even a big deal."

From the commentary section: it is quite similar to political debates. It is interesting the conversation turns to G_d so quickly - why did that happen?

Why Bother with Marshall McLuhan? » The New Atlantis

Why Bother with Marshall McLuhan? » The New Atlantis:

In these circumstances, with so many ways to go wrong, I am tempted to suggest that McLuhan now be ignored — to argue that his greatest long-term value has been his ability to provoke people who are, if not simply smarter than he was, then more patient, methodical, and scholarly. McLuhan’s attempts to account for the general landscape of media are fragmentary and inconsistent; those of his friend Neil Postman, who in following McLuhan’s example virtually created the field of “media ecology,” are far superior in evidential detail and conceptual clarity. McLuhan’s interest in literary modernism, and especially in Joyce and Pound, yielded a few memorable apothegms; but his student and friend Hugh Kenner, inspired and directed by him, produced major, field-transforming work on both writers. McLuhan’s thoughts about oral and literate cultures, dependent largely on his reading of a few scholars of ancient oral poetry, lack historical grounding and intellectual rigor; but another of his students, Walter Ong, would make a great scholarly career specifying the lineaments of that historical transformation. The work of each of those scholars is far superior to anything that McLuhan ever wrote.

“The Anatomy of Influence”: Six Questions for Harold Bloom—By Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine):

If we are a democracy, what are we to make of the palpable elements of plutocracy, oligarchy, and mounting theocracy that rule our state?

Niké!

It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
