Newsletter #14: Guidance for Apes, Sudan Strikes for Freedom, Trumpistan vs Democracy, and the Death of a Legend

A very short newsletter today, I’m afraid: just a plug and a few reflections/pontifications. The lessons of evolution. In Areo, I reviewed the new book by Heather E. Heying and Bret Weinstein, and found it somewhat wanting. See here. Sudan protests. I was disheartened to read that the military had overthrown the Sudanese transitional government. I’ve written in a previous newsletter of the high hopes I have for Sudan, which cast off its aged Islamist dictator (an old pal of bin Laden’s, incidentally) and set itself on the path to democracy and secularism. Perhaps I should be pessimistic, then. Perhaps I should feel cowed in my idealism. But I am not, because the people of Sudan are fighting back.
