Carolee Schneemann

01Hanson's 1998 paper listed nine developmental steps from dead matter to star-colonizing civilization; each step is a candidate filter.
02Finding microbial life on Mars, Hanson argues, would be the worst possible news — it suggests the filter lies ahead, not in abiogenesis.
03Hanson also developed 'futarchy,' a governance system where policy is decided by prediction markets rather than elected officials.

Carolee Schneemann pulled a rolled paper scroll from inside her vagina and read it aloud at a 1975 feminist art event. The text was a critic's letter dismissing her as too beautiful to be taken seriously.
