Tuesday evening roundup

Mostly a New Yorker roundup--it's a good issue.

This cryonics article is crazy. Apparently, the cryonics pioneers haven't seen "Idiocracy."

When I first saw this article on the association of smells I thought back to "Remembrance of Things Past" and how much I hated the first French lit class I took in college.

Hendrik Hertzberg reviews "Game Change."

From the Daily Show and an overall worthwhile episode of the Colbert Report.

I really want to write a blog soon about IDIOCRACY. What's interesting about that movie is that I'm very concerned that intelligence and class are becoming indelibly linked. So like a very small percent of the population owns so much of country's wealth, it will become harder and harder for the poors to have access to even a decent education. But I have to put my thoughts together a little better before I write that blog...
