If you are not watching The Planets, then you should be.
Life is the geological force that shapes the Earth, and the emergence of human cognition fundamentally transforms the biosphere, not least by the uniquely human phenomenon of economic growth, so that human mastery of nuclear processes is beginning to create resources through the transmutation of elements, enabling us, among other things, to explore space and to exploit the resources of the Solar System.
Yet Mother Gaia reigns supreme, and we are expected to fight wars for Her even while, under Her petticoats, we shiver and starve in the dark. But Vladimir Vernadsky and Krafft Ehricke will yet have their day.
For all her enthusiastic endorsement by Owen Jones, the views of Laura Pidcock on Vernadsky or Ehricke remain as unknown as her views on any of the 11 subjects of the famous Pidcock's Paragraph: Antonio Gramsci, Max Shachtman, Friedrich von Hayek, Milton Friedman, Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, Plato, Thucydides, Xenophon, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
