[Kzyxtalk] I'll see your Pascal's wager and raise you Roko's basilisk.

      At http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find the recording of 
last night’s (2014-12-26) KNYO Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show 
ready to download and keep or just play with one click.

      I did the show by live remote from Juanita's house. The mixer is 
plugged straight into the computer's sound interface; there's no proper 
limiter here so the volume level jumps around somewhat, but it's a 
pretty good show. One high point, for me anyway, is near the end, an 
article by Andrew Solomon in Salon.com titled /Naked, Covered in Ram's 
Blood, Drinking a Coke, and Feeling Pretty Good/. Another is near the 
beginning, the Alex Bosworth story /Glad Tidings/. Not that there aren't 
several worthwhile hours in the middle. And Boston Blackie at the very end.

      Also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find gobs of 
fresh links to striking but not necessarily radio-useful items that I 
found while putting the show together. Here are just a couple:

A lovely road trip of the peaceful nearly deserted surreality of what 
most of America has always been and really still is.

And the view from a hawk with cameras strapped to it flying through a wood.
