Why Laser Weapons Failed … Until Now

Lasers were supposed to revolutionise warfare decades ago: light-speed, pinpoint accuracy, near zero ammo cost. But they never delivered. Now, thanks to new tech and smarter strategy, they’re back — and the battlefield may never be the same.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
