No Going Back
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
There's a rush these days to get back to the way things used to be. But we're not going back there. Bruce Anderson writes that the new world order is disorder: This struck me as I was going through our latest Abacus Data polling, which highlights that Canadians don’t much like today’s leadership in China, Russia or the U.S. — the biggest economies and most militarized countries in the world. And they’re not so keen on the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, either. Russia might be economically weak today, but still seems to be malevolent. The modern focus is on sowing ...
Structuralism’s Attack on Logocentrism
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
Structuralism’s rejection of all ontological and epistemological sources of meaning can be seen as an attack on the logocentric approach that lies at the core of the philosophical and religious thought of the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. Originated by Ferdinand de Saussure in his 1913 work on linguistic studies, *Course in General Linguistics*, and further refined by Claude Lévi-Strauss, structuralism is an anti-metaphysical philosophy which denies the existence of Aristotelian reality and the higher reality (Platonic forms or religious Trinity), and posits that the world ...
How Turkey Was Able to Send Coronavirus Aid to 55 Countries
Ali Demirdas, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Ali Demirdas* *Security, * How? Turkey’s relative success in combating the pandemic facilitated the country’s ability to implement its global aid endeavor. The arrival of a colossal Turkish Air Force Airbus 400 Atlas cargo plane at the Joint Base Andrews in Maryland last week was a historic moment. At the time when the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States hardest and hundreds of American were losing their lives daily, Turkey’s gesture was a symbolic display of solidarity more than to solve America’s acute shortage of medical supplies. The personnel from the U.S. Air Force,...

Why Intermittent Fasting Is No Miracle Diet
David Clayton, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Clayton* *Health, * Many people cheat on their intermittent fasting diet without realising it. Intermittent fasting is a way of losing weight that favours flexibility over calorie counting. It restricts the time you are allowed to eat, which reduces calorie intake by limiting opportunities to eat. That’s the theory, at least. A popular version of intermittent fasting is the 5:2 diet, which involves eating a very low-calorie diet (about a quarter of usual calorie intake) for two days each week and unrestricted eating on the other five days. This approach has worked well fo...

Balance between creation and creative destruction
Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 16 hours ago
A traditional bricklayer's perspective is simple: when you add bricks, you are doing some positive work and you deserve a positive salary. Those who demolish buildings are doing a harm and they should pay. This simple view may be generalized to lots of other realms of the human activity. They include not only working class jobs but also science and even investing, aside from many other occupations. The identity of the "beneficial" sign often looks clear. You do something applaudable if you lay bricks, create new cars, write papers creating new models and doing new tests, but also wh...
