The Playboy Debate: Should We Dedicate a Room to Hugh Hefner?” Missouri Professor Steven Watts, author of “Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream,” says a definite "Yes." He makes the case that the late Hugh Hefner liberated American society from Puritanical sexual neuroses. Conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat strongly demurs. In one of his most controversial Times columns, he declared Mr. Playboy to be a chauvinist pornographer who exploited women and made our culture “coarser, crueler and more sterile.” A timely debate in this “me-too” age.

Beyond Blockchain: The New Theory of “Perfect Money”

Feedback Survey

There are a few data structure known to mankind that are not owned by any individual, company or nation, but instead are owned by the human super organism. These “Superbases” include the Blockchain and the DNS (Domain Name System). The DNS has been up without downtime since 1985. We each use the DNS thousands of times a day to translate friendly url names to Internet protocol addresses. Now there is the RAIDA (Redundant Array of Independent Detection Agents).

The RAIDA was built on the foundations of DNS and allows for the creation of the worlds first Cloud Currency CloudCoin (not a crypto currency). Unlike all other moneys, CloudCoin was designed based on a model of "Perfect Monetary Systems" and is to be the best money possible. CloudCoin users do not need a public and private key. With RAIDA, no public ledgers are necessary and no transactions are tracked. The CloudCoins themselves have authentication information so users never need to login or create accounts. This makes CloudCoin the worlds most private money. CloudCoin is designed to be globally scalable, trade within 2 seconds, and be 10,000 times more efficient than crypto currencies. The RAIDA allows for much more than just digital money. The RAIDA will be the most disruptive privacy technology since encryption.

Getting Off Scot-Free: The Supreme Court’s Unlawful Assault on Police Accountability

Feedback Survey

"Police officers have a challenging job that often involves dealing with people at their worst and responding to dangerous and unpredictable situations. And while many officers perform their duties with professionalism and integrity, it is increasingly clear from smartphone recordings and other sources that officers also abuse their power and violate the rights of those they are sworn to protect—with sometimes fatal results.

One of the most important tools we have for holding police and other public officials accountable is the ability to sue them for damages when they violate our rights. But the Supreme Court has systematically undermined this vital accountability mechanism with a legal fiction called “qualified immunity” that makes it nearly impossible to hold public officials liable for their misconduct and helps create a policy of near-zero accountability for law enforcement. The result is an unacceptably high tolerance for bad actors and unprofessional conduct that destroys community relationships in areas where effective policing is most urgently needed.

Join us for a conversation about the challenges presented by the judicially invented doctrine of qualified immunity and learn about market-based solutions that can help ensure proper accountability for law enforcement while leveling the playing field between citizens and police."
