Sunday night Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon talked about the Olympics opening ceremony, and how openess can bring power to anyone (or anything) that tries it.

The topics:

  • Phil saw Mama Mia. The guys agreed that sometimes you go to movies to score points as a husband or a father. This is one of those. Or if you're an Abba fan, don't miss it.

  • Harvey won our "Solve a World Problem / Win a Coffee Mug" competition. He wins one of these babies:

    But if you're not Harvey, there's no need to feel left out. These mugs are now available to everyone.

  • Stephen's in San Antonio. He shared a few vacation photos.

  • Stephen described the lighting of the Olympic flame. It was incredible:

  • We'll talked about how the Robust Golden Rule could show China the way forward.

  • Tales of the Paranormal. Phil read an email that was sent to Jerry Pournelle. Is it possible that our best fighter pilots have the ability to see a short distance into the future?

    Phil mentioned the book, On Intelligence.

    Commenter "OKDavidRay" said "DARPA research seems interested in leveraging subconscious "thinking ahead" by artificial amplification.

  • Lastly we talked about Dr. Robert Zubrin's recent response to T. Boone Picken's wind/natural gas energy plan.

    Zubrin believes going flex-fuel with our autos is the best idea. We believe Zubrin is right, but that electric is another big piece of our transportation future. And, of course, wind can be a part of the electric picture.

    Dr. Zubrin was our guest on this show earlier this spring.


Our front bumper is a sample of Marginal Prophets' "The Difficult Song."

Our exit music this week is from Jeff MacDougall . The song is "A Brief History of Pudding."
