S. 3073 (117th)
S. 3073: Equal Health Care for All Act
(Select) H.R. 5742 Equitable Health Care for All Act (IH)
The text of the bill below is as of Oct 26, 2021 (Introduced).
Mr. Padilla introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
To prohibit discrimination in health care and require the provision of equitable health care, and for other purposes.
This Act may be cited as the Equal Health Care for All Act .
Congress finds the following:
In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman because it often results in physical death. .
Inequity in health care remains a persistent and devastating reality for many communities, and, in particular, communities of color.
The provision of inequitable health care has complex causes, many stemming from systemic inequality in access to health care, housing, nutrition, economic opportunity, education, and other factors.
Health care outcomes for Black communities in particular lag far behind those of the population as a whole.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on April 7, 2020, the coronavirus outbreak is shining a bright light on unacceptable health disparities in the Black community.
A contributing factor in health disparities is explicit and implicit bias in the delivery of health care, resulting in inferior care and poorer outcomes for some patients on the basis of factors that include race, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity), disability, age, and religion.
The National Academy of Medicine (formerly known as the Institute of Medicine ) issued a report in 2002 titled Unequal Treatment , finding that racial and ethnic minorities receive lower-quality health care than Whites do, even when insurance status, income, age, and severity of condition is comparable.
Just as Congress has sought to eliminate bias, both explicit and implicit, in employment, housing, and other parts of our society, the elimination of bias and the legacy of structural racism in health care is of paramount importance.
Data collection and reporting
Required reporting
The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Director for Civil Rights and Health Equity, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall by regulation require all health care providers and facilities that are required under other provisions of law to report data on specific health outcomes to the Department of Health and Human Services in aggregate form, to disaggregate such data by demographic characteristics, including by race, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), disability, and age, as well as any other factor that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines would be useful for determining a pattern of provision of inequitable health care.
Proposed regulations
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall issue proposed regulations to carry out paragraph (1).
The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall—
not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, establish a repository of the disaggregated data reported pursuant to subsection (a);
subject to paragraph (3), make the data in such repository publicly available; and
ensure that such repository does not contain any data that is individually identifiable.
Requiring equitable health care in the hospital value-based purchasing program
Equitable health care as value measurement
Section 1886(b)(3)(B)(viii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(b)(3)(B)(viii)) is amended by adding at the end the following new subclause:
Effective for payments beginning with fiscal year 2024, in expanding the number of measures under subclause (III), the Secretary shall adopt measures that relate to equitable health care furnished by hospitals in inpatient settings.
(bb)
In carrying out this subclause, the Secretary shall solicit input and recommendations from individuals and groups representing communities of color and other protected classes and ensure measures adopted pursuant to this subclause account for social determinants of health, as defined in section 7(e)(10) of the Equal Health Care for All Act.
For purposes of this subclause, the term equitable health care refers to the principle that high-quality care should be provided to all individuals and health care treatment and services should not vary on account of the real or perceived race, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), disability, or age of an individual, as well as any other factor that the Secretary determines would be useful for determining a pattern of provision of inequitable health care.
Inclusion of equitable health care measures

For purposes of carrying out subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall not exclude any health care provider from participation in the Medicare program under title XVIII of the Social Security Act or the Medicaid program under title XIX of such Act if the exclusion of such health care provider would result in increased difficulty in access to health care services for underserved or low-income communities.

We Choose to Go to the Moon
A Visit to the Johnson Space Center with Omega
By Jason Heaton Photo by Jason Heaton
In April of 1970, Nixon was settled into his first term as President, the Vietnam War was smoldering and manned moon missions were already becoming routine to a public with a short attention span. But when the number two cryogenic tank on the Apollo 13 command module exploded, leaving three astronauts adrift with dwindling oxygen, heat, water and power, the whole country sat up and paid attention. Technology had reached a point where we could reliably put men on the moon and bring them back, but at its core, this was still dangerous business carried out by extremely brave men, a point driven home by this crisis 200,000 miles from earth.
When Apollo 13's Command Module pilot Jack Swigert used his Omega Speedmaster chronograph to time the critical 14-second engine burn that would align the spacecraft for safe re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, it not only saved the lives of the crew but launched a wristwatch into horological immortality. 2015 marks the 45th anniversary of that fateful mission and Omega commemorated it with a gala in Houston, home to NASA's Johnson Space Center and Mission Control. Omega ambassador (and self-proclaimed space nut) George Clooney was in attendance, but the real celebrities were the Apollo astronauts who were there: last man on the moon Gene Cernan, Apollo 10 commander Thomas Stafford, and Apollo 13 commander James Lovell. They're old men now, stooped and a bit hard of hearing, but they could probably still fire up the mothballed Saturn V rocket parked in the hangar — and they'd probably do it in a heartbeat.
An Apple Watch has more memory than the computers used to navigate the Apollo missions and will tell time more accurately than a hand-wound chronograph. If you have enough money, you can go into space as a tourist. With no Space Race to win, NASA's role in the national agenda is an ongoing question. While our answer changes year to year along with its budget, NASA has continued to make itself an asset with biomedical innovations and a slew of other advancements. Those stories about 45-year-old failed moon missions seem like ancient history. But bravery and adventure are timeless; someday soon, Americans both young and old will look to Mars with the same wonder that the moon inspired on July 21, 1969. It will take a new generation of astronauts and rocket scientists for mankind to set foot there — and maybe even a new chronograph.
Apollo 13 Plus 45
After the Speedmaster Professional helped save the Apollo 13 crew, NASA awarded Omega its coveted "Silver Snoopy Award", the highest honor that could be bestowed on a civilian organization for efforts contributing to the space program. For the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission and the award, Omega built a limited-edition Speedmaster Professional, released at BaselWorld and already sold out. The watch has a white dial with the Peanuts character uttering the well-known phrase, "Failure is not an option." Around the first quarter arc of the seconds track is written "What Could You Do in 14 Seconds", in reference to the critical 14-second engine burn that aligned the Apollo 13 craft for re-entry. Of course, inside ticks the same hand-wound calibre that was in Jack Swigert's watch on April 15, 1970.

Is Sleeping a Fundamental Right?
The Supreme Court of India has ruled sleeping is a fundamental right. The ruling comes in response to police action taken during a midnight crackdown on yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his supporters while the group was sleeping in public demonstration against the corruption of government in the previous year.
This may seem obvious and bordering on absurd, but it's interesting to note that although India enjoys this express "right to sleep," falling under Article 21 of their constitution covering, "Protection of life and personal liberty," here in the U.S., we continue to fight for this seemingly fundamental, basic right.
This is a debated issue for many cities in the U.S. because it bears largely on the controversy surrounding the homeless. Cities are enacting laws that step on many fundamental rights in an effort to eradicate homelessness. Towards that end, some are even seeking to evict soup kitchens and other charities that assist the homeless.
In contrast to this approach, Rhode Island has created a new law prohibiting homeless people from being treated unfairly because of their housing status. Many are hoping this will serve as a model for other cities to follow.
Efforts such as these attempt to preserve civil rights for everyone.
Should sleeping be a fundamental right? Where should the line be drawn and by whom? Share your comments below.

Q: Check integrity between servers I have three Database servers, running PostgreSQL 9.2:

master01 (Own data center USA)
slave01 (Own data center USA)
slave02 (AWS Australia)

Both slaves use streaming replication + wal_files (delivered by master01 via ssh).
The postgres process on the slave02 server has been recently stopped, due a maintenance on the slave02's postgres disk volume(/var/lib/pgsql).
Postgres is running on: /var/lib/pgsql
Wal files are shipped to this volume: /var/lib/walfiles
Once the volume was restored, I started postgres and got this log:
cp: cannot stat '/var/lib/walfiles/0000000500008AA800000069': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '/var/lib/walfiles/0000000500008AA80000006A': No such file or directory
consistent recovery state reached at 8AA8/8AD22F70
record with zero length at 8AA8/8AD22F70
database system is ready to accept read only connections
streaming replication successfully connected to primary

I have a very large table, that is constantly updated. I ran this query on slave01 and slave02 server:
select max(id) from ids_table;

SLAVE01:
   max
----------
 45148099
(1 row)

SLAVE02:
   max
----------
 45148095
(1 row)

Can you see the results are different? And that shouldn't be different!
Question:
How can I check the data between servers? How can I see if there is something wrong with slave02 due to those No such file or directory errors?
UPDATE 1:
As far as I could see, checksum is only available on Postgres 9.3+ ? So can't use that!
UPDATE 2: Anwsering Sahap Asci's questions
On the master:
synchronous_commit = on
#synchronous_standby_names = ''

A: First of all your replication is not synchronized. That means there can be always slight differences between master and slave. if you change configuration like below your master won't return commit until the replication processes.

synchronous_standby_names = '*'

In your case, synchronized replication can be problematic because your slave is quite distant from the master so that the commits get slower.
Still with synchronized commit running a query 2 times in different transactions can get different results because of data changes.
I recommend you to read the blog; Evolution of Fault Tolerance in PostgreSQL: Synchronous Commit.

Q: Blazor WASM don't update UI after refreshing data from server I've the following Page/Component with that code:
@page "/product"

        products = await ProductService.GetProducts();
        Console.WriteLine($"Products loaded {products.Count}");
    }

}

The Console output is after I deleted one of two products:
Delete product ceef0312-39b5-4d64-8772-39583876ff2e
Deleted product ceef0312-39b5-4d64-8772-39583876ff2e
Products loaded 1

But the UI still displays two rows/products in the table. I would expect, that therefore products is updated the UI is also updated and the deleted product becomes removed, isn't it?
Thanks!

20 Day Great Canadian Rail Journey & Alaska Cruise reviews from past clients of Global Journeys.
When there was a meal supplied the food was excellent. The only negative was the staff on the train. The dining staff were excellent from Toronto to Edmonton but the new dining staff from Edmonton to Vancouver were rude, especially the man who was in charge of the dining car. On the cruise ship the only downer was the overcharging of the helicopter tour in Skagway. Got charged extra USA$130.00 for being 2kg overweight with most of my extra layers on due to the fact you are going on a freezing glacier so had to rug up. Then they tried to charge me twice for that tour, which was prepaid before I left Australia. (Globus has no control over the cruise, my negative about the cruise is aimed at Holland America). Over all had an excellent time with my fellow travellers on this holiday.
The Rockies were spectacular and the sites we visited were breathtaking. Butchart Gardens in Victoria on Vancouver Island are a "must see". Alaska looks like the "last frontier" and Glacier Bay offered sights we'll never forget. We went Dog-sledding in Skagway which was a unique experience. All in all it was a wonderful holiday. Thank you Global Journeys.
We were a bit disappointed with the beginning of the train trip. We had expected refurbished carriages. But the ones we got were very basic. We did enjoy the trip once the train got to Jasper and we travelled by coach through the rest of Canada. The trip to Alaska was wonderful. The ship was all we expected if not more. Would recommend the trip from Jasper to Vancouver Island to Alaska and back.

«Big Wood» is the name of a ski resort in the town of Kirovsk, located at the spurs of the Khibiny Mountains on the shores of the Lake Bolshoy Vudyavr, 175 kilometers (109 mi) south of Murmansk. The skiing trails are located on the southern and northern slopes of the Mount Aikuaiventchorr (I'll give you a minute to try and pronounce that 😉 ) and start at an altitude of 1.000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea level. This may not seem that impressive on its own, but it actually makes Big Wood the highest ski resort above the Arctic Circle.

Its location at 67°37′N, almost in the geographical center of the Kola Peninsula, pretty much assures that the 45 kilometers of ski slopes enjoy fantastic (and abundant!) snow throughout the season.
If you avoid peak season (more about this later) you can enjoy the slopes almost all to yourself, as there are very few skiers compared to the infrastructures and I have never seen anyone having to stand in line for even a minute before getting onto a gondola lift, a chairlift or a rope tow. In spite of this, and I can NOT recommend it, but I have seen quite a few (experienced) skiers choose to adventure backcountry.
For more than a month around the Winter Solstice (so, from the beginning of December to the middle of January) Kirovsk experiences the Polar Night, a period when the sun never really rises and the night and twilight last for 24 hours a day. This creates a pretty unique chance to ski under a deep dark blue sky all day long and photographers can enjoy a "never ending blue hour".
Because of its remote location, absence of nearby large town and, therefore, light pollution and the crisp air at 1.000 meter altitude, this is also one of the most ideal, spectacular and unique places from which to admire the Northern Lights in all their splendor.
Climbing on foot higher than the ski lifts to make sure he is the highest skier in the world above the Arctic Circle!
Because Russians don't celebrate Christmas on December 25th, the Russian Christmas holidays are from the 1st to the 7th of January, and this is the absolute peak season in all holiday resorts in the country, including Kirovsk. If you can, it is much better to avoid these dates and come when there is much, much less people. I took all the pictures you see in this post around the middle of February, when you can also already enjoy quite a few hours of daylight.
Being above the Arctic Circle means that sometimes you can find ice and frost also inside the gondolas in the cableway! Picture taken with a 12mm lens.
Kirovsk is definitely "off the beaten track", but luckily getting there is rather easy. the closest large town is Apatity (23 km – 14 mi away), an important mining center named after one of its most abundant natural resources in the area, apatite, the raw mineral used in the production of phosphorus mineral fertilizers. Here you can find both the Kirovsk-Apatity Airport (KVK), with regular daily flights from Moscow–Domodedovo, Moscow-Sheremetyevo and St. Petersburg , and the railway station on the Moscow-Murmansk line (you can read more about the Artika Train here). A taxicab ride from Apatity to Kirovsk takes about 20 minutes and it will run you about 450-500 Rubles (7-8 USD, 6-7 Euro).
Time Table for the Artika Train. Apatity is about two hours from Murmansk and 31 hours from Moscow.
In the Murmansk region you can taste fantastic unusual meats, the likes of bear and venison. A great way to experience the latter without putting your holiday budget at risk in a super fancy restaurant is to go and find the V Svoyey Tarelke (В Своей Тарелке) café. The name literally translates as "in your own dish", but it is actually an expression that means "at ease" and I think this cozy, unpretentious restaurant will make you feel at ease. It is not very easy to find (here's a Google Map link) and from the outside it doesn't look like much, but here you can try a delicious venison burger (which I admit I devoured before taking any picture of it) and many other specialities from the Russian Norther cuisine at reasonable prices.

Q: String replace in many the tables for some fields? I have a drupal based site (CCK+Views+Taxonomy) with a huge amount of text content. Now consider I would like to convert all the "W" in the content with "w", I have no idea what tables to touch or what fields in those tables, I just know that I want all the "W"s in the site (it's content I mean, database) to be replaced with "w"s, any insights ?

A: In drupal, use Scanner module which has exactly that functionality.
Generally speaking, one should write a script to accomplish the task.

681646Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 02 — Arnott, Neil1885
ARNOTT, NEIL (1788–1874), physician and natural philosopher, was born at Arbroath, in Scotland, where his father held a valuable farm. His father had become a catholic in early life his mother, Ann, daughter of Maclean of Boteray, was of the same faith. Misfortunes compelled the father to give up his farm and settle first at Blair and afterwards in Aberdeen. Neil was taught by his mother and at the parish school of Lunan, and in November 1798 entered Aberdeen grammar school. In 1801 he was entered as a student in the Marischal College, with a small bursary, where he remained during four sessions, and was especially interested by the lectures of Patrick Copland on natural philosophy. He graduated M.A. in 1805, and at once commenced the study of medicine in Aberdeen. He supported himself partly by acting as shop-assistant to a chemist. In September 1806, he went to London, and became a student at St. George's Hospital, under Sir Everard Home. A year later Home's favour obtained him an appointment as surgeon in the East India Company's service, and he sailed for China in April 1807. During the long and stormy voyage he appears to have made a number of physical and meteorological observations regarding ocean currents, tides, winds, and other atmospheric phenomena, waves, &c., many of which are recorded in his 'Elements of Physics.' He learned languages and gave lectures to the captain and officers. He also turned his attention to sanitary matters, clothing, and ventilation. In 1809, he returned to England, and in the following year made a second voyage to China. He performed a novel operation for stricture, which saved the life of the captain, and devised new modes of ventilating the ship.
On his return to London, in 1811,he commenced practice in Hunter Street, Brunswick Square, in partnership with a friend named Darling, and he soon afterwards began a course of lectures on Natural Science applied to Medicine at the Philomathic Institution, which, in 1827, were published under the title of 'Elements of Physics.' In 1813 he obtained the diploma of the College of Surgeons, and in 1814 the university of Aberdeen conferred upon him the degree of M.D. He continued to practise as a physician till the year 1855, and enjoyed a large and lucrative practice.
Arnott's catholic connections and knowledge of languages helped him in his profession. Many foreigners consulted him. In 1816 he became physician to the French, and some time aftenvards to the Spanish embassy. In the same year he dissolved his partnership with Darling, who had married, and took up his residence in a large house. No. 38 Bedford Square, where he remained to the end of his professional life — more than forty succeeding years. During the next seven or eight years but few changes appear to have taken place in his career.
About 1823 he began to prepare his 'Physics.' Sir David Barry was at this time propagating his views concerning the circulation of blood through the capillary tubes and the veins; and he attributed this to atmospheric pressure. The view was opposed by Dr. Armstrong, who begged Arnott to take up his cause. This led to the delivery of lectures on medical physics in 1825 in Arnott's house. Professor Bain says: 'The lectures made a great impression, and there was a strong desire expressed that he should repeat them.'
The first volume of Arnott's 'Physics' appeared in 1827, and it was received with enthusiasm. A second edition was printed in the same year, a third in 1828, and a fourth, together with Part I. of the second volume, in 1829. In 1833 appeared a fifth edition of the first volume, with a second of vol. ii. Part I. It was speedily translated into Spanish, French, Dutch, and German. The book went out of print, and Arnott spent much time upon a sixth edition, half of which appeared in 1864, and a second half, with new chapters, in 1865; a seventh edition has appeared since his death.
About the year 1855, he gave up his practice, and turned his attention more especially to scientific and sanitary matters. His name had become well known many years earlier in connection with the invention of a smokeless grate, known as 'Arnott's Stove,' which combined economy of fuel and consumption of the smoke with uniformity of combustion. For this he was awarded the Rumford medal of the Royal Society in 1854. He devised the water-bed in 1832, and in 1838 he published an important essay on 'Warming and Ventilation,' in which both his stove and ventilator are fully described. He declined to patent any of his inventions, and was never more happy than when he could devise or apply any means of lessening human suffering, or extending man's dominion over nature. For his various inventions he was awarded a gold medal by the jurors of the Paris Exhibition of 1855, and Napoleon III. gave him the cross of the Legion of Honour. He was one of the founders of the university of London in 1836, and an original member of the senate. In the following year he was appointed one of the physicians extraordinary to the queen; in 1838 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1854 a member of the Medical Council. In 1861, he published a 'Survey of Human Progress,' which reached a second edition in 1862. It was well received, though criticised as representing a 'narrow utilitarianism.' In 1867 he wrote a small tract on arithmetic, and in 1870 a pamphlet on national education.
To a great age Dr. Arnott retained clear faculties, and his old spirit of inventiveness never forsook him. Among his last devices was a chair-bed for preventing sea-sickness. Having a large circle of scientific friends, and being a prominent member of the Royal Institution, he lived much in the society of the most progressive men of science in London. His benefactions were widely spread. In 1869 he gave 2,000l. to the university of London, and 1,000l. to the universities of Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and St. Andrews. In 1865 Mrs, Arnott gave 1,000l. to each of two ladies' colleges in London, and after her husband's death carried out his wishes by giving 1,000l. to each of the four Scotch universities.
In 1859 he caught cold, which brought on a deafness, gradually increasing, and ultimately limiting greatly his sociable habits. A fall in 1871 produced a concussion of the brain and weakened his mind. He died 22 March 1874, and was buried in Edinburgh. His wife, whom he married in 1856, survived him two years. She was the widow of one of his oldest friends, Mr. Knight, and the daughter of Mr. G. H. Holley, of Blickling, in Norfolk.
Dr. Arnott was physically a very strong man. He was perfectly sound in health, and for more than sixty years he lived in the heart of London, and rarely sought or required a holiday. In many manual exercises, such as handicraft and games, drawing, and playing upon musical instruments, he excelled. He possessed a great aptitude for languages — wrote English elegantly, and gave fluent speech to Italian, Spanish, and French. When his 'Physics' was translated into German, he began the study of that language. His intellect was very versatile. It widely embraced both languages and science. As an inventor he possessed many resources. He was a very sociable man, was extremely amiable, and always full of philanthropic aims and objects. There is a crayon drawing of Arnott by Mrs. W. Carpenter in the Royal Society, and a portrait by Partridge in Marischal College, Aberdeen.

The New York Times Versus Architecture
Beyond Buildings
Bingler and Pedersen critique the profession in "How to Rebuild Architecture."
By Aaron Betsky
Jason Paris/Flickr via Creative Commons license The New York Times building in midtown Manhattan.
The New York Times is as close as we come to having a newspaper of record, and is certainly the leading thought-influencer for this country's cultural, if not its political, elite. That makes its recent descent into know-nothing, cliché-ridden reviews of architecture and its products all the more troubling. With an "architecture critic" who has basically given up on reviewing the designed environment in favor of bizarre forays into fields such as so-called "evidence-based design," the Times has now for the second time in several months given its editorial page over to a piece on architecture that is so pointless and riddled with clichés as to beggar comprehension.
This one, entitled "How to Rebuild Architecture," was penned by Steven Bingler, AIA, and Martin C. Pedersen. It starts with that hoary trope of "anti-elitist" architecture criticism: the lovable, aged mother who sees a misbegotten piece of modern architecture and says: "It looks like somebody piled a couple of boxcars on top of each other, then covered them up with cheap metal and whatever else they could find at the junkyard!"
Fine, perhaps the structure is, but so what? Perhaps another mom (like mine, who loved rough-hewn, modern architecture) might like the structure. The authors use this opening salvo by a lay-person to claim that such non-experts have it right, and architects should be listening to them. They add a soupçon of moral outrage by noting that some architects participating in the rebuilding of New Orleans were ignorant enough of local conditions to propose buildings with flat roofs. Oh, horrors. Ed. note: Bingler's firm also produced one of the Make It Right houses, albeit without a flat roof.
So we have three of the standard criticisms of buildings designed by architects: first, they are ugly according to what the piece's authors perceive as some sort of widely-held community standard (or at least according to some 88-year old ladies); second, they are built without consultation; third they don't work.
All those critiques might be true. Good architecture can be startling, or least might not look like what we are used to. It sometimes stretches the technology of building to the point that it creates problems. And, it is usually designed on commission from a client—not by and for the actual users (unless it is a house for a rich person)—which is why there is so little collaboration, not because architects are so ego-driven that they wouldn't engage in it. The fact that buildings look strange to some people, and that roofs sometimes leak, is part and parcel of the research and development aspect of the design discipline.
Experimentation can sometimes look weird at first, but it is a necessary part of figuring out how to make our human-built world better. It is not the result of copying well-published buildings, as Bingler and Pedersen claim; what buildings were copied by the architects working on the New Orleans project the mother didn't like? I would suggest that the authors visit MoMA's exhibition on tactical urbanism to see what is actually going on in the world of collaborative architecture instead of staring at the few published buildings they seem to know.
This gets to the third point of Bingler's and Pedersen's argument. They claim that architects once designed for the people because they designed for our genetic make-up (I am not making this up):
"It wasn't always like this. For millenniums, architects, artist and craftspeople—a surprisingly sophisticated set of collaborators, none of them conversant with architectural software—created buildings that resonated deeply across a wide spectrum of the population. They drew on myriad styles that had one thing in common: reliance on the physical laws and mathematical principles that undergird the fundamental elegance and practicality of the natural world. These creative resources transcend style. They not only have wide aesthetic appeal, but they're also profoundly human, tied to our own DNA."
All I can say is: Wow. I do not know what fantasyland these authors live in that they imagine that for "millenniums" ("millennia?") architects collaborated on making buildings that "resonated deeply." In fact, the few pieces of architecture that we still treasure today, from the Pantheon to Palladio's churches and villas to Chicago's skyscrapers, were as startling, alien to their environment, and initially unpopular as most new monuments today. Almost none of the vernacular that makes up the meat of our built world was not designed by architects. I do not know what about a neo-classical or neo-something they have in mind (the authors give no examples to support their case, but, to judge from his website, Bingler is a New Urbanist type of guy), but I did not know you could design in a way that is "tied to our own DNA." About the only architect trying to make that claim is Patrik Schumacher, and I doubt his parametricism would fit Bingler's and Pedersen's definition of something "profoundly human."
The truth is that architecture is not made by or for "a wide spectrum of the population." It is made for those who have the means to commission it, and reflects their values and priorities. If some architecture looks strange and is engaged in experimentation, it is because the only way architects have to make something that has a chance to escape from that affirmation of the social, economic, and political status quo is to make spaces that open up, forms that question or stretch our expectations, and buildings that build in delights, from amenities to visual pleasures, that the clients do not necessarily need—though they may desire them in the end. Beauty of a deep and satisfying kind is what good architects often have to sneak into commissions.
Architecture, in other words, is either the dull affirmation of what we have, or it is an attempt to make our world better. It succeeds not by DNA-based forms or mystical appeals to the tastes of the public, but through hard work in the real world.
