This week's bonus is with James Allen-Robertson, a researcher on radical technology and cultures. He talks to us about the origins of Online Rationalism, early forums culture, and why so many of the rationalists now seem to only agree on one thing (mandatory phrenology in schools). How has this movement shaped the social web, and how exactly did it lead to a peripheral figure with a blog to become the UK Government's most senior advisor?
