Thanks for getting me to 1 year of meaningful conversation. First, I recap some highlights and episodes worth checking out. Then I talk about mind control's unwelcome influence through cults, scams, advertising and culture.

I suggest that intelligence and generation will upstage class, nationality and race as the new human dividing lines and how ethical principles, democracy and meaning might be saved in an increasingly complex, amoral world.

Next time I talk about bullshit jobs and the opportunities of the new economy.
