This idea that Capitalism is the root of /all/ evil is compelling. I've seen this take a lot. I suspect people blame it for all evil because it /is/ evil and causes people to do evil things. I don't disagree.
But in my opinion there's another few motives for this take:
1) not wanting to believe some people are inherently evil or do bad things for lack of conscience
2) wanting to believe a perfect world is possible if only we abolish it

- Scientists (research & comms)
New or established, we want your micro-scifi based on real science! Want to know more? We've written some thorough submission guidelines for this year, so go take a look! storyseedvault.com/submissions/
Something I've been pondering; How does one improve one's out of box thinking and problem solving skills? We refer to them as skills, but how does one practice? #mindhacks
To the lisp / scheme curious:
I'd suggest installing Racket, opening DrRacket and going through this tutorial: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/
You'll be coding fun things in mere minutes... even with no lisp or even *any* programming experience!
Writing a web application is only a few lines away: http://docs.racket-lang.org/continue/index.html
Try it! I promise you'll have fun!
