Bold are the notable ones or ones I've enjoyed most. Also, though I don't know I can say I've read more than the past decade (particularly because before I used to read a lot of articles for research purposes), but I've read a lot more this year than previous years.

‎"We are getting our children through education by anaesthetising them. I think we should be doing the exact opposite. We shouldn't be putting them to sleep. We should be waking them up to what they have inside themselves."

Create your own roadshow.

People aren't inherently good or inherently evil, they're inherently lazy. "Bad" is the path of least resistance; it is easier to take someone else's than make your own, easier to destroy than to create. This, however, does not make one or the other the natural tendency of the human animal. Some people are psychopaths, but not all people as a rule of thumb. Some people are saints, but not all people as a rule of thumb.

This is just to help me keep track of things. They are listed in no particular order or relevance.

The more stars the more heavily recommended. Just because it does not have a star does not mean it is good, and most of these movies won't. But one star means I recommend it above the others, or it stood out or otherwise made an impression on me. Any star beyond one is just for emphasis.

I am now ranking these movies, and it is a gradual process so am leaving myself a ...

Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models. What is important for Architects is that ...

I pretty much thought the video was genius. Informative but hilarious, so it's not like dry cereal going down your throat.
