- 8701: Media Manipulation
- ... sell a product or service or to promote a political figure by any and all means necessary including brainwashing the general public. Companies try to make the consumer aware of its product and convince the world that its product is better than that of the competitor as seen with the war between McDonalds and Burger King restaurants.

- 8703: Knowledge is Power: How To Buy A Computer
- ... That means that even if the consumer pays a large premium for the fastest possible system, he may not see a corresponding increase in performance. Buying the latest computer system is like buying a fancy new car. One pays a high premium just to get the newest model. When the consumer drives the car out of the showroom, it becomes a used car, and its value goes down several thousand dollars. Similarly, when a new computer model comes out in a few weeks, his "latest and greatest" becomes a has-been, and its value plummets. Some people think that if they only buy the most powerful computer available, they will ... about $200, including installation.

- 8705: Candide-Purposeful Satire
- ... dishonest face. In Candide, Voltaire makes use of several characters to voice his opinion mocking philosophical optimism. On page 1594, Candide is asking a gentleman about whether everything is for the best in the physical world as well as the moral universe. The man replies: ...I believe nothing of the sort. I find that everything goes wrong in our world; that nobody knows his place in society or his duty, what he's doing or what he ought to be doing, and that outside of mealtimes...the rest of the day is spent in useless ... or more companions have set out on a great journey filled with adventures. It is in this journey that Candide's outlook on life is challenged; he is forced to become less optimistic about this world being the best of all possible worlds.

- ... Irrepressible Conflict, 447). The Northerners had not freed the slaves for moral issues; the white majority did not have anything but its own economic prosperity on its mind.

- 8707: Galileo Galilei
- ... Galileo with some of his financial problems. This was also the year that Galileo met Marina Gamba, whom he never married but had three children with. In 1604, Galileo's belief he had found a new star - and his conclusion that the Earth was moving- began causing him problems. The Roman Catholic Church was uneasy about this declaration that they were wrong. The Church believed that all the planetary bodies were formed at the beginning of Creation, and that new stars were impossible. In 1609, Galileo heard of a spyglass that had been developed in Holland and quickly constructed one himself - the first telescope of twenty times magnification. Galileo presented the telescope to the senate of Venice in August of 1609, who were so impressed they doubled his salary and gave him a permanent job at the University of Padua. Galileo used his new device to observe the heavens. He found that the popular belief that the moon was completely smooth was incorrect; for he could see the craters and mountains with his new device.
