![]() Bailey's relationship with his Czech scientist friend, another genius, is a competitive one where they try to one-up each other constantly. Bailey's friendship with John is one where they bicker like an old married couple. I could picture him all but cackling with evil joy while he disproved the work of other scientists. I absolutely loved him for his acerbic, absentminded, fussy, finnicky and arrogant nature. Let the games begin.īailey McMillan is one of the funniest and most curmudgeonly characters I have come across in M/M romance. Oh, woe is him, especially since the astrology column becomes popular.īailey says astrology is a bunch of hogwash!Ī bet is born where Bailey must date a man from each astrological sign to see if astrology really is accurate. In order to write his column every month Bailey has to anonymously write a dreaded astrology column. He gets to write a scathing column where he rips apart his colleagues' shoddy theories and work, proving that he is indeed more intelligent than everyone else. There's one thing that Bailey loves about working at Spark though. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is not where Bailey thought he would be at this point in his life. Now, he's almost 40, pudgy, balding and working at his long-time and best friend John's science magazine as an editor, columnist and fact checker. His career and reputation were ruined by his former employer and, man, is he bitter about that. Bailey McMillan is one cranky scientific genius. ![]()

![]() ![]() Read it and tell your friends to as well. ![]() ![]() Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited. The systematic drugging of individuals for the benefit of the Statewas a main plank in the policy of the World Controllers. Brave New World Revisited (Harper & Brothers, US, 1958 Chatto & Windus, UK, 1959), written by Huxley almost thirty years after Brave New World, is a non-fiction work in which Huxley considered whether the world had moved toward or away from his vision of the future from the 1930s. ![]() Brave New World Revisited has a message that is as timely today as it was when Huxley wrote it: that humankind must educate itself for freedom before it is too late.īrave New World Revisited has such a powerful message that needs to be heard. In Brave New World, suggestibility was heightened not just through the use of technology, but also with a super drug called Soma. Far ahead of his time, he was worrying about man being humanity’s worst threat via such things as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion. Huxley used his knowledge of human relations to compare the modern world with the world he envisioned. We all know just how prophetic that novel came to be. The accompaniment to Aldous Huxley's equally brilliant Brave New World moves on from the analysis of scientific dictatorship that in 1932, when it was published, seemed so far-fetched as to be impossible. Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley Heron Books, 1969, b/w illustrations, decorative end-papers, hardcover Very Good Condition. Brave New World Revisited is a classic so much so that, although it was written in 1958, it is still being read and admired today. ![]() ![]() Ye’or’s Eurabia book is “the standard text of the genre.” ![]() They are, respectively, the “intellectual forefather” and the “matriarch” of the counter-jihad or “rising Muslim tide” movement. ![]() I conceptualize this worldview in terms of Jean Raspail’s French novel Camp of the Saints and the Eurabia Project writings of Egyptian Jewish exile writer Bat Ye’or. But, they are all one worldview and the white terrorists or mass murderers are the logical endpoint of this worldview, though they are not all neo-Nazis. ![]() This worldview exists on a spectrum from neo-Nazis to the extreme or populist right to religious conservatives to neo-conservatives, without clear demarcations along the spectrum, but with nuanced differences. “The Camp of the Saints Worldview” combines moral conflict and physical combat to illuminate the ideological and religious roots, and deadly consequences of the Camp of the Saints (COTS) worldview. ![]() |
