  When I mentioned to my friends my desire to own a female robot, I got the most peculiar responses from them. Firstly, their eyes would light up from the shock. Then they whinnied like a horse laughing. And would slowly back away from me regarding me suspiciously as they did so. 
  A man like me must be careful when he enters old age because people treat you like an imbecile who’s trying to relive his youth by having the audacity to let ideas wander around aimlessly in his head. To some people, old age is frowned upon as a disability. 
  When the day came for me to decide to purchase the robot online, people send my wife wouldn’t allow me to have such a toy. She gave me a lecture on how retired people should act and bringing a female robot into her house was not the act of a sane old fart. “I forbid you having such idle nonsense.” 
  I pressed down hard on the “order now” button and awaited the outcome…

  Science Be Dammed - How Ignoring...

  Science Be Dammed is an alarming reminder of the high stakes in the management—and perils in the mismanagement—of water in the western United States. It seems deceptively simple: even when clear evidence was available that the Colorado River could not sustain ambitious dreaming and planning by decision-makers throughout the twentieth century, river planners and political operatives irresponsibly made the least sustainable and most dangerous long-term decisions. 
   
   
   
  Eric Kuhn and John Fleck delve into rarely reported early studies, showing that scientists warned as early as the 1920s that there was not enough water for the farms and cities boosters wanted to build. Contrary to a common myth that the authors of the Colorado River Compact did the best they could with limited information, Kuhn and Fleck show that development boosters selectively chose the information needed to support their dreams, ignoring inconvenient science that suggested a more cautious approach. 
   
   
   
  Focused on both science and policy, Kuhn and Fleck unravel the tangled web that has constructed the current crisis. Understanding how mistakes were made is crucial to understanding our contemporary problems. Science Be Dammed offers important lessons in the age of climate change about the necessity of seeking out the best science to support the decisions we make.

  The Phantom Cosmos - Decoding...

  The universe is a vast expanse filled with enigmas that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for millennia. In the wake of the Big Bang, the cosmos burst into existence, unleashing a torrent of energy and matter that set the stage for the formation of everything we know today. From the very first moments, the universe exhibited a complexity that would eventually lead to the emergence of galaxies, stars, and planets. Yet, amid this wondrous creation, a peculiar and subtle force began to assert its influence—one that would later be identified as dark energy. This mysterious component, largely invisible and poorly understood, is now believed to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, challenging our conventional understanding of gravity and the evolution of cosmic structures. 
  In the early epochs of the universe, conditions were extremely volatile and unpredictable. Subatomic particles collided with tremendous energy, and the nascent fabric of space-time was in constant flux. As the universe cooled and matter began to coalesce, forces that governed particle interactions and the formation of atoms started to take hold. It was during this formative period that the seeds of cosmic structure were planted, and the universe embarked on a long, gradual journey towards complexity. However, it was also during this time that the presence of dark energy, although not yet recognized, began to subtly influence the behavior of the cosmos. This influence was initially hidden in the chaotic interplay of energy and matter but would later emerge as one of the most critical factors in cosmic evolution.
