Meanwhile, Charles counters with nostalgic picks like Hawmps! and The Apple Dumpling Gang, setting the tone for a playful and diverse episode. The duo takes their customary roll of the dice, landing first on the "How do I...?" segment. This week, the discussion revolves around instilling a love for learning in children, where Joe and Charles debate the balance between nurturing curiosity and managing screen time—a challenge every modern parent knows well. Next, the dice roll brings the "Parliament of Papas" segment. Charles shares his thoughts on spousal support for creative endeavors, expressing his wish for a partner who might co-create alongside him. This heartfelt moment deepens the conversation, showing the personal stakes of balancing creativity and relationships. The fates then reward us with the "Daddy, tell me a story" segment. Here, Charles opens up about how The Matrix altered his worldview, sparking a broader discussion about media's influence.

Listeners get their chance to shine as CaseyJay and Devocite chime in with thoughtful SpeakPipe messages, leading to a detour into a hilarious bad dad joke showdown. Devocite sets the bar with a couple of groan-worthy zingers, but Charles and Joe don't hesitate to contribute a few pun-filled gems of their own. Finally, the episode wraps with the "What are you Nerding out about?" segment. Joe shares his excitement about listening to Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson, comparing its humor and charm to The Princess Bride. Charles, meanwhile, recounts the recent snowstorm and how it provided a relaxing escape, while Joe recalls building a towering six-foot snowman with his kids—a family memory in the making.

El Memory Backups de hoy tenemos una historia, sobre un tema que nos propuso Longinos en los comentarios el día 6 DE Junio, me dijo si podría hacer un programa acerca de la corrección política y como nos autocensuramos muchas veces en nombre de lo políticamente correcto. Así que tras investigar un poco, decidí hacer la historia de "Harrison Bergeron", que trata de lo siguiente: En el año 2081, la sociedad estadounidense ha logrado una igualdad absoluta entre sus ciudadanos mediante la imposición de handicaps (limitaciones) que igualan las capacidades físicas e intelectuales de todos. Estas restricciones son impuestas y vigiladas por la "United States Handicapper General." El relato se centra en George y Hazel Bergeron, cuyos catorce años de hijo, Harrison, ha sido arrestado por ser extraordinariamente inteligente, fuerte y guapo, lo que le convierte en una amenaza para la igualdad social. George lleva en su oído un aparato que emite ruidos estridentes cada 20 segundos para evitar que piense profundamente, mientras que Hazel, que tiene una inteligencia promedio, no necesita ningún handicap. Un día, mientras los Bergeron están viendo la televisión, un noticiero interrumpe el programa para informar que Harrison ha escapado de prisión. Harrison irrumpe en el estudio de televisión, se quita sus handicaps y proclama que es el nuevo emperador. Elige a una bailarina de entre el público, también liberada de sus handicaps, y juntos desafían las leyes de la sociedad al bailar libremente y elevarse en un estado de gracia y belleza natural. Sin embargo, su rebelión es breve. Diana Moon Glampers, la Handicapper General, entra en el estudio y dispara a Harrison y a la bailarina, matándolos al instante. La transmisión se corta y los Bergeron, al tener una memoria limitada por sus handicaps, pronto olvidan lo que acaban de ver. La vida vuelve a su normalidad opresiva, sin ninguna repercusión duradera de la rebelión de Harrison. "Harrison Bergeron" es una poderosa sátira sobre los peligros de la búsqueda de la igualdad absoluta y cómo las políticas extremas de corrección pueden llevar a la opresión y la pérdida de la individualidad y la libertad. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Lawmakers Ignoring The LawIn her influential 2017 Yale Law Journal article, "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox," Lina Khan argues that the current antitrust framework, which primarily focuses on consumer welfare and price effects, fails to capture the full range of anticompetitive practices employed by digital platforms like Amazon. She suggests that the Sherman Act and other antitrust laws may need to be reinterpreted or updated to address these companies' specific challenges from an anti-trust point of view.Khan writes,"The current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competition to 'consumer welfare,' defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the architecture of market power in the modern economy."She argues that focusing primarily on price effects overlooks other ways digital platforms can harm competition, such as by leveraging their dominance across multiple markets or using their control over data to create barriers to entry.While Khan does not explicitly state that the Sherman Act is inadequate, her arguments suggest that the current interpretation and application of antitrust laws, including the Sherman Act, may not be sufficient to address the challenges posed by Big Tech. Her work has contributed to a broader discussion about updating antitrust enforcement for the digital age. But the harsh truth is - she cannot use current Law because her targets are not breaking it.The DOJ complaint that Apple is a monopoly (not a crime) and abusing its monopoly power fails if the Sherman Act is relied upon to judge criminality. Although the FTC is not bringing the case—it is run by Lina Khan—the DOJ is clearly on the same page as she is in bringing it. In July 2023, I argued, “Khan and Gensler Should be Fired.” The case for that is now even more convincing.As Jason Snell from Six Colors argues:Defining a “monopoly.” Before we get to some of the details of Apple's specific anti-competitive behavior, it's worth noting that this suit is charging Apple with violations of the Sherman antitrust act, which is meant to specifically regulate monopolies. Things that are legal for regular companies to do become illegal when monopolies do them.Part of this document, then, has to establish that Apple holds monopoly power over a specific market. Given that Apple's share of the U.S. smartphone market is about 60 percent, how can it be called a monopoly? The DoJ attempts to square this circle in a few different ways: It uses revenue instead of unit sales, pointing out that Apple and Samsung combined hold 90 percent of the U.S. smartphone market by revenue. It creates a new sub-market, the “Performance Smartphone,” which pushes Apple up to about 70 percent of the market in terms of unit sales. It accuses Apple of attempting to create a monopoly through its various business tactics, which is also illegal.Questions I would ask about this approach: Can you add in Samsung, find a number starting in ninety, and declare something a monopoly? Is revenue share how monopolies are defined? Can you draw borders on a product category in a beneficial way in order to declare it a new market?Apple's position in the U.S. market is certainly strong, but regardless of how you view its behavior, it will be interesting to see if the DoJ can make a convincing case that Apple is actually a monopoly, given the presence of Samsung and Google in the market. Jason Snell, six colorsBecause the law does not provide a solid case against Apple, the DOJ is attempting to redefine the meaning of words to allow its case. This alone should be sufficient evidence that the complaint is a political, not a criminal, decision. The case will fail before a judge and jury, and Apple's response indicates it plans to fight.Renowned former journalist Walt Mossberg had this to say on Threads:https://www.threads.net/@mossbergwalt/post/C41RaBuvrC0And Steven Sinofsky - his article is below - gives a damning appraisal of the DOJs chances.His first day X post is a great overview from somebody who - at Microsoft - has been down this path with the DOJ. Click the graphic for the full thread.https://twitter.com/stevesi/status/1770878948421059035?s=61&t=vSSPDgMsv3aFc2ctR_yOwwApple's multibillion-dollar investment in building a global software distribution platform benefits its shareholders. But it also benefits users, even Android users. Who in their right mind would have thought Eric Schmidt would have focused on mobile as much had Apple not started the mobile revolution in 2007?The intense competition for users (Android's many varieties have about 80% global market share) drives innovation on all sides.The essence of the DOJ case is that Apple should be forced to be as bad as Android, or there will be no equality. The essay By Kurt Vonnegut that Daring Fireball ‘typeset'—‘HARRISON BERGERON'—is therefore entirely appropriate—and hilarious, too. It's the first Essay of the Week. See below.This DOJ complaint is not for “the people.” It is for the DOJ and the FTC, who are increasingly attempting to hold back innovation, especially when the innovator is better than the competition. This makes it increasingly irrelevant as accelerated competition challenges all incumbents.OpenAI and its peers (now several) are a great example, seemingly driving two of the slower movers - Apple and Google - to partner on AI in the next version of iOS.Well, there you have it. Shame on the DOJ for filing this amateur complaint. And if we buy the DOJ case or fail to oppose it, Shame on us.

Michael's pick for March is Harrison Bergeron, a 1995 TV movie based on a Kurt Vonnegut short story.

Time traveling hitman, love-struck greeting card writer, notorious whistleblower, and an alien passing as a human boy are just a few of the characters Joseph Gordon-Levitt has brought to life. His extraordinary range as an actor is matched by his taste in films, as evidenced by his choice of Disney's Encanto as the film that blew his mind. From the way it subverts storytelling traditions to its layered and lyrical songs, Joe shares all the reasons why Encanto is a favorite with his young family and what it has to say about honesty as the greatest superpower of all.Plus, zip-lining as an antidote to grief, Kurt Vonnegut's dystopian “Harrison Bergeron”, and the role that Sundance has played in Joe's own life.

Along with special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review Sam Adams' Just the Haze, a no-alcohol IPA, then review some short stories by Kurt Vonnegut. "The Foster Portfolio" has an investment advisor who finds a client who appears to be poor, but secretly has enormous wealth, which he has no interest in. It examines one man's struggles with his moral failings. "All the King's Horses" is about a horrifying chess game played with real people's lives, including a Colonel's wife and two sons. It's a parable about parents' choices in sending their children off to war. "Tom Edison's Shaggy Dog" is clever and fun story about a dog who is smarter than Thomas Edison. "Welcome to the Monkey House" is a futuristic story about an over-populated planet where society takes extreme measures to reduce the number of people. But then Billy the Poet comes along and throws a wrench in the works. "Harrison Bergeron" is a brilliant anticipation of modern nonsense about "equity." The only way to make everyone equal is to make the smart people stupid, the pretty people ugly, and the talented just as dull as everyone else.

Nos metemos en un escenario distópico, una nación que se jacta de ser, al fin, igualitaria. Cualquier ciudadano que se destaque en inteligencia, belleza o un tipo de habilidad es equilibrado para abajo. En ese contexto, un adolescente de 14 años, sobresaliente a pesar del control exterior, decide enfrentarse al régimen ante la (des)atenta mirada de sus padres. ¿Es tiempo de hacer la revolución? ¿Habrá cómplices dispuestos a acompañarlo en su cruzada? Harrison Bergeron fue publicado por primera vez en la revista The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (1961). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 📚 Qué es POR QUÉ LEER Por qué leer es un proyecto multiplataforma que promueve el placer por la lectura.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents stories by Kurt Vonnegut in which the Slaughterhouse Five author somehow managed to make a bleak dystopia funny and a high school band teacher a hero. The stories explore the darkly absurd side he's known for—“Harrison Bergeron” performed by Becky Ann Baker––and a softer, touching side in “The Kid Nobody Could Handle” performed by Dylan Baker. The show features commentary from The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper and backstage interviews with the Bakers, a husband-and-wife duo. 

Sean Illing talks with Michael Sacasas, an author and teacher exploring the relationship between technology and society in his newsletter, The Convivial Society. This conversation is all about attention: what it exactly is, what its purpose is, and how it is under threat by the technology of modern society and its ubiquitous distractions. Michael calls upon venerated philosophers (like Simone Weil and Iris Murdoch) as well as contemporary writers (like Nicholas Carr and Jenny Odell) to make the case that figuring out how to command our attention is a matter of great moral significance, and is a crucial component of living a good life.

In today's episode of the Teaching ELA Podcast, I discuss several short stories with a focus on conflict: “The Most Dangerous Game,” “To Build a Fire,” “The Monkey's Paw,” “Through the Tunnel,” and “Harrison Bergeron.” I've got an emergency lesson plan you can get on the board right now involving conflict. (Originally Published on September 20, 2021)TakeawaysEveryone can connect with conflict. Use the 2-minute lesson plan involving conflict and point of view to help students internalize literature.Although most stories involve multiple types of conflict, I've given you exemplary texts for teaching the five major types of conflict.Teaching the skill of citing textual evidence to support analysis makes teaching all other standards either no longer necessary or easier to teach.Links and ResourcesConflict Lesson Plans/Handouts“To Build A Fire” by Jack London at elacommoncorelessonplans.com“The Monkey's Paw” by W.W.

“Harrison Bergeron” shows a dystopian society where government and the misapplication of equality has evolved with tragic consequences. In the year 2081–less than 60 years away–the meaning of equality has changed from being equal under the law as intended (with varying degrees of success) in the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution to equality meaning that everybody has to be equal on every which way.In this case, government working under the pretense of promoting equality strips away individual rights in an effort to gain absolute control of its populace. Although the degree to which it is done in the story is extreme, the concept shouldn't be foreign to anyone who follows current events.Links“Harrison Bergeron” Blog PostScience Fiction Short Story Lesson PlansShort Story Catalog at ELACOMMONCORELESSONPLANS.comPoetry Collections at ELACommonCoreLessonPlans.com

Here's what a loss of freedom looks like, at least according to Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron"

In this episode, we do a reading of Kurt Vonnegut's 1961 dystopian short story called "Harrison Bergeron". Believe me, its a SHORT story, but it packs a lot into it. We discuss how the future government of Kurt Vonnegut's imagination mirrors what we may see on the horizon in real life.

On the next Selected Shorts, it's all about the Slaughterhouse Five author who somehow managed to make a bleak dystopia funny, and a high school band teacher a hero. With host Meg Wolitzer we celebrate 100 years of Vonnegut with stories that explore the darkly absurd side he's known for—“Harrison Bergeron” performed by Becky Ann Baker--and a softer, touching side in “The Kid Nobody Could Handle,” performed by Dylan Baker.

It is tempting to dismiss T.S. Eliot's musings on class, society, and education as the complaints of a cranky reactionary. But the great Anglo-American poet is worth reckoning with - if for no other reason than how profoundly he challenges the democratic norms that in the 21st century we simply assume as first principles. Jonathan and Ryan take a look at Eliot's chapter on education from his book Notes Towards the Definition of Culture, and they try to square Eliot with the egalitarian promises of the American Dream.T.S.

Howdy partners, Jordan Vezeau here, welcoming you to another magical episode of Divulgence! In this twentieth episode (20 down baby!), due to the masses of popular demand, I happily welcome back to the show my special friend Aurora, who assists me in creating some Akashik Records of our own! Aurora is a galactic-flavoured walk-in who, while on Earth, wears many impressive hats, such as teacher, artist, clothing/fashion designer, and musician. She is also known for her famous ‘Flying Rainbow Lasagne' concept, a focus of much of her works and teachings in general. We go deep on learning what it is to be human, covering all sorts of fun topics, such as time maps and dimensionality, soul contracts, cosmic truth, law and justice, using your mind to reach across time and space, chakra and energy center systems, the true importance of reading, magical communities, star seeds, the notion that we are all built and neuro-wired differently, Harrison Bergeron and José Argüelles, telepathic care packages and telempathy, the commodification of time, transhumanism and human augmentation, our personal missions of beingness, reading the musical score of time and life, E.T. 101 The Cosmic Instruction Manual, and the true mind capabilities beyond the imposed language structures. Aurora shares her amazingly beautiful art with us, including some of her latest pieces, and explains her incredible process of starting a DIY art project, taking it to the max extreme (with unique paint mixing and chemistry), and turning it into a wonderful experience with a gorgeous masterpiece of colour and impeccable quality as a final product. She uses her work to explain the significance of all the accumulated time and effort that goes into creating one single thing, whatever that thing may be. She also speaks on the language of art, how time is self-aware and intelligent, making clothing with the cosmos and her clothing production process, how your job could and should be your joy, what she aims to communicate with her works and creations, and being an entrepreneur of physicality! In addition to her insanely awesome art, Aurora also shows us that illiteracy is equal to blindness, the non-linear way of looking at life, how humans are leveling up, and how we are moving from this old paradigm to a brand new one, so pay attention! It is always a great pleasure having Aurora on the show, and this episode is another example of just why that is – so please enjoy!         *Being a brand-new podcast, all support is appreciated.

In the past year, two short stories have come to Ron and Ed's attention that provide some economic insights: Somerset Maugham's The Verger and Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. In The Verger, a church employee is fired even though he does his work quite satisfactorily. Bergeron is a cautionary tale of the notion of equity - equality of outcome.

In today's episode of the Teaching ELA Podcast, I discuss science fiction short stories for middle school and high school: “The Fun They Had,” “All Summer in a Day, “Examination Day,” “They're Made out of Meat,” “Harrison Bergeron,” “There Will Come Soft Rains,” “The Machine that Won the War,” “The Machine Stops,” and whatever else comes to mindI've got an emergency lesson plan you can get on the board right now. And the One Thing you can teach with any of these stories is in the show title. It's the elements of Science Fiction. By teaching students to analyze the elements of Science Fiction, you'll be hitting standards that involve theme, characterization, setting, and all those other things we discuss when we get all literary up in this mug.TakeawaysScience Fiction isn't just for nerds. You'll get a higher percentage of students who enjoy science fiction short stories than just about any other type.What makes good science fiction stories so good is their ability to connect with readers despite futuristic settings and characters.Teaching the Elements of Science Fiction will make teaching many of the elements of literature easy.Links and ResourcesSFLesson Plans CollectionScience Fiction Short Stories“Harrison Bergeron” lesson plans can be found here.“There Will Come Soft Rains” lesson plans can be found here.“A Sound of Thunder” lesson plans can be found here.Rappacinni's Daughter“The Fun They Had” lesson plans can be found here.“All Summer in a Day” lesson plans can be found here.“The Veldt” Lesson Plans can be found here.

Sam Adler-Bell from the Know Your Enemy podcast joins Aaron and Gerry to talk about "Harrison Bergeron."

Mind Webs was a 1970's series out of WHA Radio in Wisconsin that featured weekly short stories of science fiction by some of the genre's best writers. The music, sound cues and occasional character voices along with the performance of Michael Hansen, the reader, resulted in better than most fully dramatized productions of the period. Around 150 shows were aired between 1976 and 1984 varying in length, but most were about 30 minutes.This is one of the rare double-story episodes. The first, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., is a great example of how Hansen incorporated guest voices to superb effect. The second, “The Haunted Spacesuit” by Arthur C. Clarke, is just a great story that Hansen brings to life superby. Get full access to The Reader Crew at joshuajames.substack.com/subscribe
