akaihyoAs we move into the next stage of the Health Care Saga, some things to think about:
Health Care, Chaos, and the Challenge of Chickens in New York, looking at how self-organizing systems cope with complexity much more efficiently that top-down ones.
The Chemist's War, Slate looks at the little-told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition with deadly consequences. Remember, there are good reason not to trust the government to control morality and livelihoods.
A good discussion of the three types of knowledge, probably NSFW due to language, No One Knows What the F*** They're Doing. Again, important when looking at attempts to impose top-down 'solutions' on complex systems.
Business and free markets do good for the world, but the silence of Mammon in defending itself is deafening.
Have a good weekend all.
