Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Checkout this fan fiction. It's written from the perspective of an AI advocate, who also has an interesting website about rational thinking.

In this re-writing, young Harry is a well-read scientist, whose ambition upon learning of the existence of the wizarding world is :

"to understand everything important there is to know about the universe, apply that knowledge to become omnipotent, and use that power to rewrite reality - 

... because I have some objections to the way it works now."

Not Just Wiki Leaks

RangerLeaks too.

An estimated one billion litres of contaminated water has leaked from the tailings dam at Ranger uranium mine in World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park - and that dirty old waste store is leaking more today than ever before, with recent estimates at around 150,000 litres a day.

Now's not the time to battle phantom reactors

Even as the full extent of the compounded disasters continues to unfold before our eyes, there are many who are looking to revisit the debate around nuclear power.

But I'm not one of those.

I am of the opinion that now is not an appropriate moment to be debating the prospect of nuclear power in Australia.
