allthatglitters··on If I ruled the world: Daniel Dennett
Having read quite a bit of Dan, I'd have to say this is terribly tongue-in-cheek. I hope I'm not wrong...
allthatglitters··on Technology and wealth inequality
This article supports many of the common fallacies that accompany most discussions of "wealth inequality" - and as usual believes it should be rectified... (by whom?) For a refreshing point of view on this topic, read http://cafehayek.com/2014/01/wealth-is-not-a-glob-of-homogen... . It may not change your mind but it is certainly another way to think about the issue.

Cinnamon (a Gnome variant of pleasing minimalism) on Wheezy.
allthatglitters··on Monty Hall problem explained visually
Given two choices (equal probability; redundant?) - which is the case once you have two doors - switching cannot change the odds. Have someone flip a coin. Call it. But before the flipper looks at the coin - (whether he KNOWS the result or not) he asks you to consider switching. Explain how the option of switching changes the probability of a correct or incorrect call. Inference?
