There was a 1950s radio drama show called X-Minus One that adapted stories from a science fiction magazine. There’s a comedic one that is a surprising critique of capitalism in 1950s America called “Snowball Effect” [spoilers ahead] about an economics professor who comes up with a formula for unlimited growth and tests it out on a small women’s organization in a small town in Wisconsin. It starts working too rapidly, but he has built a flaw into the formula where the organization will quickly collapse if they stop getting new members. But it becomes so successful that the organization takes over the world. At the end of the episode, the world leader (who started as the president of the organization in the tiny Wisconsin town) announces that they are landing the first people on Mars to look for Martians because they desperately needed new members.
1/4 A Pile, To Be Sorted by @spinkdinky (Chris McCully) combines a visualization of life's complexity with a metaphorical pursuit of clarity into captivating, vibrant, abstract pieces of art.
The artist dedicated it to his father and, in doing so, paid tribute to a piece of advice that he gave: To tackle life's challenges one small step at a time.
