Montgomery Bus Boycott
Sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks on 1 December 1955, the Montgomery bus boycott was a 13-month mass protest that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) coordinated the boycott, and its president, Martin Luther King, Jr., became a prominent civil rights leader as international attention focused on Montgomery. The bus boycott demonstrated the potential for nonviolent mass protest to successfully challenge racial segregation and served as an example for other southern campaigns that followed. In Stride Toward Freedom, King’s 1958 memoir of the boycott, he declared the real meaning of the Montgomery bus boycott to be the power of a growing self-respect to animate the struggle for civil rights.

Davies on The Unaccountability Machine
Dan Davies' The Unaccountability Machine is a book that leaves me a bit confused about how I feel about it. On the one hand, it covers topics I enjoy reading about and for which I have strong opinions—the industrialization of decision-making—and does so with references to cybernetics (where the author has clearly dug deeper than I have). On the other hand, it does the "airport book" kind of thing where the last chapters propose solutions to the identified problems that are plainly inadequate.
Signaling as a Service
01 Intro One of the best books I have read in the last few years is The Elephant in the Brain by Robin Hanson and Kevin Simler. The book makes two main arguments: a) Most of our everyday actions can be traced back to some form of signaling or status seeking b) Our brains deliberately hi
