So it’s kind of likely I will never see the rest of Spectre, which I started on the plane.
I landed here, away from home, a very decent place it is too.
And my Sky movie thing won’t let me watch on my iPad.
FIND A WAY, my god! Just stop the bullcrap!
I’ve been consuming less and less media over the last 15 years, and this is seriously a major contributor!
I’m an economics grad, and law, and finance - I understand how this all works, and how the entertainment industry is eating itself from the inside out.
I think I spend too much time here; I keep getting the impression that we’re on the cusp of a whole new social paradigm, but it’s probably just the echo chamber effect.
Are there educational sources where interested students can best pursue the concepts without having to read a poorly written and incomplete Ikea manual walkthrough of the latest widget-configuration?

Lots of cookbook recipes and rarely Jeff Potter’s Cooking for Geeks.
Maybe traveling along the cusps of partly new paradigms.
