Did you know that the concept of the 'tragedy of the commons' was fueled by an ideology?

In Episode #369 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: why a recent book review sparked this topic, a human depopulation article with an underlying ideology, Garret Hardin's hypocrisy, whether people under a spell behave differently, using emotions and cherry picking data, why Juan loves the 'Discipline = Freedom' ideology and why we don't talk about wokism/capitalism/communism/environmentalism or really any ism's.

A huge thanks to our supporters of Dave Jones, Petar the Slav, McIntosh and Trevor. It's a handsome group!

Interview retranscrite en intégralité sur Comicsblog.fr !

Depuis maintenant presque trois ans, la maison d'édition Bad Idea nous fascine. Lancée par Dinesh Shamdasani avec Warren Simons, les personnes qui ont fait les belles heures du Valiant de 2012-2017, l'éditeur s'est fait une joie de fonctionner sur un modèle aux antipodes même de tout ce qui se fait sur le reste du marché américain. Voyez plutôt : une distribution de comics en single issues, pas de collection en TPB, pas de publication numérique, et un nombre de boutiques limité pour vendre leurs albums. Après avoir annoncé leur arrêt, puis leur retour, force est de constater que Bad Idea nous fait terriblement envie (ils ont avec eux Matt Kindt, David Lapham, Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli et bien d'autres) - alors que pourtant, impossible ou presque de lire leurs bouquins par chez nous. Qu'à cela ne tienne : profitant d'une rencontre fortuite sur le stand de Bad Idea à la New York Comic Con 2022, votre intrépide rédacteur en chef a saisi l'occasion pour lui poser un ensemble de questions, pour un échange court mais passionnant, qu'on vous invite à découvrir aujourd'hui ! 

Benhur’s safe is safe! Phew!
Seriously, masks are still required in-store!! Sheesh.
7 months of Andrew. Woosh!
Changes in the X-Men titles this summer! Snikt!
New Marvel Legends action figures just announced! Bam!
Bad Idea pins… *Sigh*
“I Don’t Know” is Unacceptable. Humph.
Image’s The Good Asian is an excellent detective (Chinatown Noir) comic! Ka-ching!*

*Okay, so I felt a little weird using “Ka-ching” as the sound effect after The Good Asian. I was going for the sound of a cash register to emphasize how much we expect this to sell. To be safe I googled “noise a cash register makes” and both ‘cha-ching’ and ka-ching’ came up at the top, so I went with it.
