As part of our effort to recruit new Members to join your ranks, we sent out a week-in-review email on Friday. Do you think it would be useful to post this to the Member blog when we do more of this?
Darwin’s Demons: Technology’s magnificent beauty can carry an ugly cost. Bill Whittle leads a discussion of the evolutionary impact of ubiquitous gaming and smartphone use. The dystopian devolution of the species leads to hunched backs, thickened skulls, extra eyelids and a creepy ‘tech claw’. Is there time to avoid the onslaught of Darwin’s Demons, or do they already walk among us? [Watch Video]
‘Companion’ Bots: Adult conversation about artificially-intelligent ‘companion’ robots gets crushed by Google’s algorithm, so Stephen Green resorts to euphemisms in The Rise of the ‘Knitting’ Machines. [Watch Video]
Trump’s Unsanitary Camps: “The Taliban Gave Me a Toothbrush,” according to a former hostage, so why are Trump’s border detention centers depriving children of toothbrushes, soap and real blankets? Bill Whittle doesn’t believe it for a moment. He says most folks would rather stay in a Customs and Border Protection camp, than spend a night walking among the plague-infested garbage heaps of downtown Los Angeles. [Watch Video]
Bernie’s Jubilee: Bernie Sanders tries to rise above the hoard seeking the Democratic nomination for president by promising to wipe out all $1.6 trillion in outstanding student loan debt. Bill Whittle says if Bernie wins, his plan will teach young people a lesson that will destroy our Republic. [Watch Video]
TrumpCare Revolution: President Trump revolutionizes the practice of medicine by ordering health care providers to publish prices — not only retail, but the reimbursement rates that doctors and hospitals secretly negotiate with insurance companies. Is this the ultimate free-market Obamacare “repeal and replace” strategy? [Watch Video]
Universal Virtue: If you found an empty wallet on the street, that contained ID, would you try to return it? What if it had $100 in it? The results of a new scientific field study on honesty and greed confounded the scientists who devised the experiment. [Watch Video]
Thanks again to the Members who ensure that this conservative voice is not yet silenced by the Progressive censors and ‘unbiased algorithms’ in the social media.

I’m using it now after nearly a week away off the grid, which is a fine antidote to Mindyfication, btw.
I could see it as it’s own sidebar menu item on the home page.
I’d read it if it’s there, but it seems redundant to me. By the time you have all that written out and posted, most members have already watched the videos, or, at the very least, have read the blurbs about them.
I don’t see the downside to putting it on the blog. It shouldn’t cost much of your time, and I don’t foresee the membership being annoyed by it. The only thing of that could go wrong, is that the post just doesn’t get read because everybody is already getting it in their mailbox. But basically there’s no downside to the members from having the week review posted here as well.
Members, theoretically, are not getting it in their mail box. Exceptions doubtless proliferate to contradict this.
