      Note to reader. This ebook is a scrape from an online video of the same title. I created it (and a second video/ebook pair, How much do you weigh) as a means to practice media production skills. I did not intend to actually put them out.

      That I have made them public is due a kickstarter project called Talkback. This project seeks funds to create a series of videos/ebooks of the style of this ebook and its accompanying video upon the history and science of the Open Society. Kickstarter projects are helped in getting pledges if examples of the type of work one is seeking funds for can be shown—hence this ebook, the How much do you weigh one, and their associated online videos.
