Skrivalice u zelenom aprilu

Republika - Po zelenoj Srbiji idu vesele družine lidera i članova političkih partija u potrazi za glasovima. Put im je relaksiran, bezbrižan i poznat. Svi su se oprobali na ovakvim poslovima i svi su zadovoljni pripremljenim pričama. Oslobođeni pritiska savesti, sa jasnom svešću o sopstvenim ulogama koje bi trebalo da zadrže, uživaju u konstruisanim predizbornim programima i nesankcionisano obećavaju ono što bi mentalno izmoreni građani želeli da čuju. Fino vreme za političku elitu. Ne preduzimaju nikakve ozbiljne poslove, ne brinu kakve zakone treba da donesu, nisu u dilemi kakve razgovore treba da vode sa predstavnicima međunarodne zajednice. Sve im je dobro i sve im je potaman. Većina ne strepi ni od izbornih rezultata. Nekako se sve smirilo i izbistrilo, pa izgleda sigurno kao kad se gleda kroz bistru vodu. Takvo stanje omogućava učesnicima veselog karavana koji kruži Srbijom osećanje da će i posle ovih izbora biti na dobitku.

‘Društvo znanja i mnoštvo sranja’

H-Alter - Specifični zahtjevi studenata u različitim gradovima ukazuju na brojne, ali različite probleme. Čini se da je svima ipak zajedničko nezadovoljstvo reakcijom Studentskih zborova. Zanimljivo je da Studentski zbor, tijelo od kojeg većina studenata već godinama zazire, ni u jednom gradu nije sudjelovao u prosvjedu, a upućivanje njihovih predstavnika na političke insinuacije o organizaciji prosvjeda ponašanje je karakteristično za vladajuće strukture koje daju slične odgovore kad nemaju argumente kojim bi branile svoje propuste.

This lethal peepshow

Guardian - The point of journalism is not just to show, but to tell: to explain what is going on. And yet the cellar story - and even the cyclone - are most likely to induce a feeling of impotent bewilderment in viewers. These are stories that can not be accommodated by any theory of god or government. In both cases, I have felt guilty about tuning in to such despairing data. The Austrian material made me wonder if a cinema-style system of age certification may soon have to be introduced for news.

The New Paternalism

Chronicle Review, by Evan R. Goldstein - In reality human beings are lazy, busy, impulsive, inert, and irrational creatures highly susceptible to predictable biases and errors. That’s why they can be nudged in socially desirable directions.

Where Are They?

Technology Review, by Nick Bostrom - I hope that our Mars probes discover nothing. It would be good news if we find Mars to be sterile. Dead rocks and lifeless sands would lift my spirit.

A Mind-Altering Drug Altered a Culture as Well

NY Times, by Edward Rothstein - When it comes to LSD, I have to confess: I inhaled. But I inhaled like so many other denizens of the 1960s and early ’70s, whether they actually took the drug or not. I inhaled because you couldn’t fail to inhale. LSD — its aura if not its substance — was a component of the air we breathed. This hallucinogen infused the exhalations of musicians, philosophers, advertisers and activists.

Lasting euro success requires bolder proposals

Financial Times, by A. Sapir & J. Pisani-Ferry - The Commission is right to claim that the euro is a resounding success: the transition to the new currency was astonishingly smooth and, for all the talks about break-up, the reality is one of a steady increase in membership of the eurozone. /…/ [...]

The “Duke” and Democracy: On John Wayne

Dissent Magazine, by Charles Taylor - ONE OF THE great joys of the movies is their ability to convince us that we know the people on screen.
