And this is because the Sigma chooses not to participate in the social pyramid. The Sigma is the guy that always does his own thing. Although the Sigma exi ...

This series aims to make sense out of the political muddle that we've inherited from media, academia, and from decades of cold war propaganda, so that we can figure what ...
