You may be tempted to ask why a contribution labeled #3 was posted after a contribution labeled #4. If so, I would advise you to squelch your curiosity. Remember what happened to Irina Spalko.

Molinari Unbound! – Quatrième Soirée
Matt Zwolinski’s contribution to the Molinarifest has been posted. Matt raises some skeptical worries about anarchism.
Game Show
The trailer for Ender’s Game is out.
There’s one scene in there that I don’t think they should have shown. Hopefully people who haven’t read the book won’t remember the trailer too well when they watch the movie.
Molinari Unbound! – Troisième Soirée
Now David Friedman’s response is posted. Actually it might make more sense to read David’s first and Gary’s second, since Gary’s is a kind of preemptive reply to David.
Molinari Unbound! – Deuxième Soirée
Gary’s response to my Molinari essay has been posted. His question: if Molinari’s labour-exchanges were a less than satisfactory way to redress the imbalance of power between labour and capital, what might be done instead?
Cybermen Go Home
I haven’t seen anyone commenting on the fact that “Nightmare in Silver,” the title of Doctor Who’s upcoming Cybermen episode scripted by Neil Gaiman, appears to be a nod to the titles of six short stories – “Nightmare in Gray,” “Nightmare in Green,” “Nightmare in White,” “Nightmare in Blue,” “Nightmare in Yellow,” and “Nightmare in Red” – in Nightmares and Geezenstacks (collected here) by the incomparable Fredric Brown (of whose work Gaiman is known to be a fan).
So I hereby comment on it.
FWIW, other admirers of Brown’s work include Ayn Rand, Mickey Spillane, Robert Heinlein, and Philip K. Dick.
