Tyranny of the Mob
Trolls are turning the web into a cesspool of aggression and violence. What watching them is doing to the rest of us may be even more harmful. […] The Internet’s personality has changed. Once it was a geek with lofty ideals about the free flow of information. Now the web is a sociopath with Asperger’s. If you need help improving your upload speeds it’s eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you’re struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself. Psychologists call this the online disinhibition effect, in which factors like anonymity, invisibility, a lack of authority and not communicating in real time strip away the mores society spent millennia building. And it’s seeping from our smartphones into every aspect of our lives.
The people who relish this online freedom are called trolls […] Internet trolls have a manifesto of sorts, which states they are doing it for the […] laughs. What trolls do for the [laughs] ranges from clever pranks to harassment to violent threats.[…] Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny.

The Real Science of Star Trek
Since its first TV episode aired 50 years ago this month, Star Trek has boldly gone where no science fiction has gone before. Through 13 films, six TV series, and a small galaxy of books, games, and other spin-offs, it’s won new fans, inspired real-world innovators, and been a fixture in the pop culture firmament.
The secret of its highly logical success? “Taking real science seriously,” says Andrew Fazekas, author of a new book on the series’ fact-based astronomy and prescient technology. Unlike more far-fetched sci-fi, Star Trek plots are built on plausible science, he says. Yet, they’re always rooted in the spirit of adventure – the innate human urge to explore.
Carolyn Porco, a planetary scientist at the University of California, Berkley and an adviser on the 2009 film, has been a fan of the franchise since its debut. For her, Star Trek offers optimism – “a golden utopian vision of ourselves” and the comforting assurance that humanity has “a future beyond Earth.”

EsPCEx 2° Dia 2017Woman who rescued Nigerian ‘witch-child’ beats Obama and Pope Francis to top list of world’s most inspiring people
A woman who rescued a two-year-old boy who had been cast out by his own community for being a “witch-child” has been recognised in an international list of the most inspiring people of the year. Anja Ringgren Lovén, a Danish care worker who rescued the young Nigerian boy back in February 2016, beat the likes of Pope Francis, Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama to top the list of 100 inspiring individuals compiled by German-language OOOM Magazine.
An image of Ms Lovén giving the two-year-old boy (now called Hope) some water was shared around the world, and served to highlight the work she was doing to help orphan children in Nigeria. Witch accusations is a growing problem in many African countries, especially in Nigeria, where Anja’s charity African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation cares for other children like Hope.
“When she saw the starving child, she acted like a human being and became an inspiration for millions,” said Georg Kindel, OOOM’s editor-in-chief, who led the jury that chose the list. Speaking today about the experience, she said: “He was the size of a little baby, my whole body froze. I was thinking of my own son when I saw the boy. For me it was clear at that moment that I would fight with all my strength for him to survive.”
