The primordial yearning for light is deeply rooted in human psyche. It is one of the most powerful motivators around.

And unfortunately, if Kim ever falls from power, his people will clamor for a new leader who will be more generous but just as onerous.
As it’s been said, most men do not want freedom, only a kindly master.

Humans are not nocturnal so light means survival. Our discovery of and use of fire pushed away the boundary of darkness and the fear of it. Without light(and fire) we're little more than meat on the hoof for the big cousins of the cats we humans are so fond of. Interestingly the reason night vision equipment is always green shaded is because the human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color. A remnant I suppose of evolving in an arboreal environment.

Fascinating memoir from the poorest of the world’s poor—even though North Korea is never listed as such by the UN.

Time to build some large, optical telescopes there because of the lack of light pollution!

residents in Pyongyang are subject to a stricter and more intensive form of collectivism than in the remote countryside. That's true everywhere. If a NYC commune dweller barbecues a NY steak on their balcony or stomps to some loud music, the jackboots will be there in minutes.
