You’ll Never Be as Radical as This 18th-Century Quaker Dwarf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalization#Definitions
"There is no universally accepted definition of radicalization in academia of government. Therefore, no one definition can be presented here. One of the difficulties with defining radicalization appears to be the importance of the context to determine what is perceived as radicalization. Therefore, radicalization can mean different things to different people.[7] "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_radicalism
"The term political radicalism (or simply, in political science, radicalism) denotes political principles focused on altering social structures through revolutionary or other means and changing value systems in fundamental ways. Derived from the Latin radix (root), the denotation of radical has changed since its eighteenth-century coinage to comprehend the entire political spectrum—yet it retains the "change at the root" connotation fundamental to revolutionary societal change. Historically, radicalism has referred exclusively to the radical left (under the single category of far-left politics) and rarely incorporating far-right politics - though these may have revolutionary elements; the prominent exception is in the United States where some[quantify] consider radicalism to include both political extremes of the radical left and the radical right. In traditional labels of the spectrum of political thought, the opposite of radical on the "right" of the political spectrum is termed reactionary."

"A hermit (adjectival form: eremitic or hermitic) is a person who lives in seclusion from society, usually for religious reasons.[1][2][3]"

A Wealthy Family’s Battle With Drugs Laid Bare, but to What End?
Sigrid Rausing’s coming book raises questions of whether the lines between memoir and voyeurism, family catharsis and score-settling, have been blurred."Perhaps fittingly, the romance between Hans and Eva began in a drug rehabilitation center, where they met in their mid-20s. Soon after, they married. “They had a house in London, a house in Barbados, many cars and paintings,” and “invitations to this and that and philanthropy,” Ms. Rausing wrote."
These events were not a surprise.

Google Doesn’t Want What’s Best for Us

Google is not FaceBook.
The FaceBook business model should probably perish.
It tries to imprison persons in bubbles.
Google bills its advertisers on the basis of interest group sizes. It does not need to tell anyone who is interested.
As long as advertisers can insist on cookies the data will be available and easily anonymized.

How to Accident-Proof the Police
Police officers should not be more dangerous than airplanes.
"Michael
Scott, a former police chief who is now a professor of criminology and
criminal justice at Arizona State University, is a fan of aviation
safety-proofing and told me that “we need a parallel system for the
police.” But, he said, law-enforcement agencies have a long way to go
because they lack the most basic tools for learning from their mistakes.
“We
don’t even know exactly how many officer-involved shootings happen
every year,” he said, because “we still do not have a single national
reporting system that chronicles and documents every police-involved
shooting in this country.”
“Of
course, it’s important to have a criminal and an administrative
investigation of any death” that involves a police officer, he added.
But it’s not enough to determine who is to blame; we also need to ask,
“Why did this happen?”
Until we can answer that question, innocent people will continue dying at the hands of the police."A job for the F.B.I.
