French female VIPs denounce "MeToo" puritanism
*The backlash shows the incompatibility of feminism and the Western society* French film star Catherine Deneveu (74, net worth $185 million, 12th wealthiest actress in the world) and 99 other famous French women have written a manifesto (full translation) denouncing the puritan witch hunts (not only) in the U.S. Gallantry or clumsy flirtation isn't rape or an attack of machismo, they emphasize, and the war against these innocent acts has established a totalitarian atmosphere, has already hurt the movie industry and the society as a whole, and resembles the witch hunts.

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "When Death Comes"
*"When Death Comes"* "When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn, when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps his purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox; when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering; what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as... more »

The Return of Geopolitics

Climate Change and Nuclear Armageddon
I've had a busy week, ending with a workshop on climate change.

Normal military doctrine says that an attacker should outnumber the defender by at least three to one at the point of attack. But since when is North Korea normal?

The most well-known Japanese jet—and the only one that saw combat—was the Okha, a rocket-propelled and human-piloted kamikaze. But another Japanese jet actually flew before the war ended, and would have seen combat had it continued: the Nak... more »

Apparently, Not Wanting to Repeat Errors of the Past Makes you a Racist.
Sure, ideally it would be nice if the President of the United States wasn’t quoted as describing other countries as Shitholes. But these places are Shitholes. They’re places where for the most part the local culture is unquestionably dysfunctional, and where civil society as we know it does not exist. Personally, I don't care if he said it or not. And if he did, it accurately reflects the sentiments of much of America. Not wanting to repeat errors of the past does not make you a racist. This has nothing to do with color. It's about culture. And really, is there any question Haiti i... more »
