MM 0051 – Presidential Primaries

Ponder for a moment the extent of your choices when seldom you see a party choice that isn’t Democrat or Republican.

MM 0052 – Sample Sizes

What do sample sizes really tell us? There’s more than meets the eye.

MM 0053 – Consent of the Governed

How do we interpret ‘consent of the governed?’ Is there a way to opt out when you don’t personally consent to a tax or a law?

MM 0054 – Pride

What does it really mean to have pride? Does it make sense to have pride in something you have no control over?

MM 0055 – Drones and the FAA

Some people fear drones, and the FAA is imposing a lot of guidelines on them. Is it truly necessary to the degree in which they do? What does this mean for hobbyists?

MM 0056 – Tax is a Necessary Evil

It’s no fun paying taxes, and there’s seemingly no end to the complaints about what money should go where, how much, and “why do I have to pay for it if I didn’t vote for it,” but in the end, tax is a necessary evil.

MM 0057 – Encryption Backdoors

Attorney General Barr, among others, is insistent upon creating ‘backdoors’ for encryption that are accessible only to law enforcement. Except we all know about well-intentioned plans, right?

MM 0058 – “Protesting” Votes

You may think you’re sticking it to the man by not voting, and by all means vote or don’t vote as you please, but realize that no one is listening to you.

MM 0059 – Questions for Flat Earthers

Coming soon! A new Minute Microscopy is released every Tuesday. Check back on May 12, 2020.

Without being too dismissive, there are some mathematical questions that perhaps may be too intractable for the flat-earth crowd to answer without a… less than flat model.

MM 0060 – “Isms”: Racism

We treat substance abuse and domestic abuse as diseases of the mind, and we offer treatment for such things, as well as acknowledge that the person can do better. Can this work on racists?
