• The Monkey Complex

  
  In the Dark — Authority: 128
  There’s an old story that if you leave a set of monkeys hammering on typewriters for a sufficiently long time then they will eventually reproduce the entire text Shakespeare’s play Hamlet .

  The Teleomorph — Authority: 424
  H+ posted an article criticizing the monumental uprising of 2012 hype called ‘2012: Carnival of Bunkum’.   It is very well written and I particularly appreciated this quotable quip:“the 2012 shtick is a light-fingered (if leaden-humored) rip-off of the late rave-culture philosopher Terence McKenna’s stand-up ...
