For a long time I thought the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” was an LSD/acid test reference but apparently it’s more of a Jonestown/cyanide allusion.

Although that makes it considerably less fun, either way it’s guaranteed to fuck your shit up.

Penn Jillette: An Atheist’s Guide to the 2012 Election

He gets a little preachy and angsty in the last few minutes, but I suppose that’s not totally unwarranted. I’m curious about when Penn says he’s opposed to movements, but mentions ‘a movement of individuals’. I’d like to know what his take on #ows is in that regard (i.e. open-source, leaderless, horizontal structure)…
