		<description><![CDATA[Arthur C. Clarke once said that &#8220;any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.&#8221;  Sci-fi and fantasy are lumped together as SF nowadays, but they are distinctly different in ways that give each its unique appeal and its strength to express different themes and stories.

Save Phil!
Hi my name is Phil O. Safari, an average joe hoping you can help him with super problem.  As a kid, I dreamed about saving the world, but now I just wish I was normal.  
My problems started on that cold and clear night of my 18th birthday.  I was walking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are 3 major reasons why sci-fi is the ideal medium to discuss philosophical ideas: sci-fi engages the reader&#8217;s intellect; sci-fi is philosophy&#8217;s heir; and sci-fi is the only literature of change.

		<description><![CDATA[Exercise yourself in small things.
It&#8217;s a simple statement.  But think about what it means if you really put it into practice.  We are all taught to think big, to dream fantastic dreams, to not settle for less.  There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.  Keep your dreams and big plans, for they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[…but you might be able to change some part of it.  To survive as an idealist in the modern world, it’s necessary to make this subtle but important change.  “To save the world” is such an inspiring notion, but too many idealists are crushed by the burden of such an unrealistic standard.

Yet what are they exactly?  I believe somewhat in Plato’s concept of Forms.  Forms are the perfect models that our world imitates imperfectly (see this Wikipedia article). [...]]]></description>

Imagine rolling-eyed, grimacing youths with mouths tilted like Escher staircases listlessly mumbling lines of lyrical beauty in tones as dull as the [...]]]></description>
