Popularity is a great question; it’s just an intriguing question. I think especially now in the kind of consumer capitalist culture where taste and sometimes quality is being measured in dollars and in numbers and in ratings and box office and all of that. And sometimes popularity is just taken to be sufficient kind of judgment. It’s like well everybody liked that and that movie made a ton of money. Everybody loved that movie. And sometimes those movies that everybody…

Welcome to the United Kingdom (and a Whole Lot More) explained by me, C. G. P. Grey. United Kingdom? England? Great Britain? Are these three the same place? Are they different places?

And what do people mean when they say Society says X or Y is wrong? sometimes people say that we live in a sick society but can society really be sick or healthy? It sounds like…
