For those who find this finishes all too quickly, before it really gets started, here's Igor Levit's performance of Satie's Vexations

I think you're right about her having personal reasons for this. I watched her video on GAC after writing the comment above. I think what it has in common with the capitalism video is that she is trying to back up a personal bias with poorly reasoned and evidenced arguments.

It's possible that she's a great scientist, I don't know enough physics to tell whether there is a dissonance or whether it's all snake oil. My skepticism comes from seeing such (conscious or not) intellectual dishonesty on her part

These are fair criticisms. No matter which side of the 'capitalism is good' debate you are on this video was so bad, with errors of history and even of definition, that I was left doubting how good a scientist she actually is.

On the back of his Ambient 4 album Eno gave instructions for a cheap way of getting a sort of surround sound using a third speaker. I did this as a teenager with my mediocre record player and a small speaker with almost no bass - it worked surprisingly well

Nah - I think they're daft kids and Shakespeare is showing us that. The play begins with Romeo utterly in love with Rosaline - what's that for if not to show us not to take his feelings for Juliet too seriously

And Juliet's 13 - which was very young for marriage even at that time. Certainly not what would have been considered 'adult' then
