There is No Spoon: May 2014
http://www.nospoonshow.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 11, 2014. Bill Maher Still Doesn't Understand Causality. This is what Bill Maher thinks of causality, apparently. Soyeah.apparently Bill Maher has made zero progress in terms of his understanding of causality over the past few years. I'm not asking him to be a social scientist or anything, but damn. Even after Glenn Greenwald schooled him. A year or so ago on his Islamophobia, the guy still doesn't learn. He apparently equated actions by extremists with all of Islam again this past week.

Monday, October 11, 2010. So, some of us (myself included) have the day off on Monday to celebrate Christopher Columbus. I remember when I was young, we were told by school teachers that Columbus discovered the new world, lived in peace with the natives (so.if people were already here, how was it a discovery? And somewhere along the way, I found Howard Zinn. S A People's History of the United States. He passed away this year. So, on this Columbus Day, I want to give you Howard's words on Columbus. But co...

There is No Spoon: Columbus Day: Make it Stop!
http://www.nospoonshow.com/2014/10/columbus-day-make-it-stop.html
Monday, October 13, 2014. Columbus Day: Make it Stop! Happy Columbus Day, everybody. This has become a No Spoon tradition - a post reflecting on Columbus. Another year, another day off off for me and many other Americans thanks to one of the most offensive holidays in America. (This year, we see even more places fighting back - Seattle joined Minneapolis and other places that no longer celebrates Columbus Day, as they instead opted for Indigenous People's Day. For quite some time now, thanks to La Casas.

There is No Spoon: Bigotry, Omitted Variable Bias, and Bill Maher
http://www.nospoonshow.com/2011/02/bigotry-omitted-variable-bias-and-bill.html
Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Bigotry, Omitted Variable Bias, and Bill Maher. Billcan we have a word? You see, when it comes to discussions about Muslims and/or Arabs, Bill Maher is a bigot, or at the very least, bigot-ish. He's bigot-ish because he uses a level of analysis that would make most high schoolers uncomfortable. He uses this preposterous thinking to come to some really dangerous, reductionist conclusions that smell of the worst kind of Orientalism. So, on this show, he said that because a few...

There is No Spoon: Erasing the Past
http://www.nospoonshow.com/2009/06/erasing-past.html
Thursday, June 4, 2009. Today marks the 20th anniversary of the tragic events in Tiananmen Square in China. I remember watching the chaos on TV. I will never forget the image of "Tank Man". Why should we care? So what can we do? Remember.remember and discuss and write and talk and challenge others to not hide from these sore spots. Always keep in mind that its not about just one country (here, China), its about most countries. While some seem to forget June 4th. August 19, 1953. April 9, 1948. Stream any...
