Merkel: we must accept an infinite number of invaders
Gourmets may be convinced that e.g. Konrad Adenauer or Helmut Kohl were great leaders but the most famous German leader in the last 100 years was unquestionably Adolf Hitler. And because insanity seems to be what counts and what makes the tenure of the German leaders long-lived, Angela Merkel is quickly becoming the number two. We thought that we have already heard everything but last night, Czech readers were generally stunned after we were told about some exchanges of opinions during the otherwise super-boring German campaign.

UN Security Council Imposes Tougher Sanctions On North Korea
*BBC:* *North Korea slapped with UN sanctions after nuclear test* The United Nations has imposed a fresh round of sanctions on North Korea after its sixth and largest nuclear test.

The US had originally proposed harsher sanctions including a total ban on oil imports. The vote was only passed unanimously after Pyongyang allies Russia and China agreed to the reduced measures. The sanctions, which were passed at a UN Security Council meeting on ... more »

The Intellectual Arms Race in Philosophy
Here's an excerpt from Nicholas Rescher's *The Strife of Systems: An Essay on the Grounds and Implications* (Page 205 - 206): *"The history of philosophy is akin to an intellectual arms race where all sides escalate the technical bases for their positions.

At the level of basics, the same old positions continue to contest the field -- albeit that ever more powerful weapons are used to defend increasingly sophistica... more »

*TRUMP’S OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE* Steve Bannon recently called Trump’s firing of James Comey the biggest political mistake in modern political history. But it was more than that. It was outright obstruction of justice – another impeachable offense to add to the impeachable offenses Trump has already committed (violation of the Constitution’s “emolument’s clause,” failure to faithfully execute the laws, and abuse of power). Obstruction of justice was among the articles of impeachment drafted against both Presidents Nixon and Clinton. The parallel between Nixon and Trump is almost e... more »

*Anthony Fensom* *Security, Asia* [image: North Korean military participate in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea] Unleashing Trump's “fire and fury” on North Korea would rack up both human and financial costs.

Genetic Quality Of Fathers Influences Gender Of Offspring
In determining the gender of offspring, fathers may be getting shortchanged. Because mothers can influence their offspring in a number of ways, from copulation to birth, while fathers have control over sperm only, it has long been assumed mothers are more important. In mammals, it is also believed that offspring sex ratios can only be determined by the mother, since fathers have always been thought to inseminate an equal proportion of X and Y sperm, having a random effect on offspring sex that they could not shift from equality, or 50:50. read more

What We Lost on September 11th
[image: undefined] The cliché is true: September 11, 2001 represents a defining American moment. Generation X and Millennials suddenly had their own day of infamy, just as their parents and grandparents had Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination. 9/11 marked the end of a relatively untroubled time in the US following the 1980 and 90s, and the beginning of a dark turn that continues to this day. Optimism, an enduring feature of the American psyche (rightly or wrongly identified as buncombe by Mencken) suddenly was in short supply. Lives were lost, along with innocence. But the i... more »

Labour's Bankrupt Brexit Rebels
From time to time politics presents us with an acid test. Examples might be opposing wars based on dodgy dossiers, not taking more money off poor people, refusing to cheerlead the scapegoating of powerless populations, standing up against the marketisation of the NHS.

Not because it facilitates or stymies Brexit, but because it's an egregious power grab. It is a self-evident attempt by an authori... more »

Brain-Computer Interface Turns Thoughts Into A Musical Score
