““The data revolution is here for social science,” says Albert-László Barabási of Northeastern University in Boston. “For the first time, scientists have a chance to study what humans do in real time and in an objective way. It’s going to fundamentally change all fields of science that deal with humans.””

And no matter what we say our religion is
Whether it’s islam, christianity Juddaism, buddha-ism, old school-ism or new school-ism
If we’re not schooling the youth with wisdom
Then the sins of the father will visit the children
And that’s not keepin it real…

““Are you a hate-filled sociopath? Are you upset because you have an intense feeling of superiority to other people, even though you have accomplished little or nothing? Your hateful screeds will not meet our standards for publication as a letter to the editor. However, if you perpetrate a mass murder, we will put your picture on our front page, publish your writings there too, and do our part to ensure your name is remembered forever.””

Open up Calendar, with its twee spiral-bound conceit, and gaze into the face of Fear. What are these but misguided coddles, patronizing crutches, interactively horseless carriages?”
