The essence of man consists in the above-mentioned contradiction inherent in his existence, and this contradiction forces him to react in order to find a solution. Man cannot remain neutral and passive toward this existential dichotomy. By the very fact of his being hu... more »

A petard was an explosive device, usually a wooden keg or metal container packed with gunpowder.

Of course, medieval gunpowder and fuses weren't alwa... more »

Free Download: B.F. Skinner, "Beyond Freedom and Dignity"
*"Beyond Freedom and Dignity"* "In this profound and profoundly controversial work, a landmark of 20th-century thought originally published in 1971, B. F. Skinner makes his definitive statement about humankind and society. Insisting that the problems of the world today can be solved only by dealing much more effectively with human behavior, Skinner argues that our traditional concepts of freedom and dignity must be sharply revised. They have played an important historical role in our struggle against many kinds of tyranny, he acknowledges, but they are now responsible for the futil... more »

Lockheed Martin *Alex Lockie, Business Insider: **Military And Intelligence News Briefs -- July 13, 2018* * The US Navy deployed the USS Essex, a small deck aircraft carrier, to the Western Pacific with a deck full of US Marine Corps F-35Bs Joint Strike Fighters — but did it with secrecy. * The US typically hypes F-35 deployments, but this time it was silent, perhaps signalling a big shift. * The US has major adversaries in the Western Pacific, and may be shifting to a more operational approach t... more »
“Screw The Way Things Are, I Want Out”
*“Screw The Way Things Are, I Want Out”* by Paul Rosenberg "This is a beautiful planet, filled, in the main, with decent, cooperative humans. And yet, I want out. Give me any kind of functional spaceship and any reasonable chance, and I’ll take it. This place is anti-human. It chokes the best that’s in us, aggressively and self-righteously. I was struck not long ago by a comment of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s, in which he expressed the same kind of feeling: "I ought to have become a star in the sky. Instead of which I have remained stuck on earth…" All of us who’ve had a moment of transc... more »
BREAKING NEWS: Samoan Government Seizes All MMR Vaccines, Calls For Inquiry After Two Infant Deaths are Reported
The vaccine controversy has been an emotionally charged one, with supporters and detractors on both sides of the aisle nearly coming to blows at times over the debated merits and risks of the common medical practice. One thing that can’t be disputed are the many cases of acute harm that have been inflicted by these shots, however, and one of the most risky of all shots in this category is the MMR (triple shot) vaccine, which is said to vaccinate patients against measles, mumps and rubella all in one shot. This particular vaccine has also been one of the most controversial to date... more »
"The Death of Tinker Bell"
*"The Death of Tinker Bell"* by The Zman The Tinker Bell Effect is an expression for when people want something to be true so deeply, they believe it actually exists. This is commonly used in education reform, where the reformers are so sure their blank slate fantasies are true, they convince themselves their reform efforts are having the desired effect. Head Start is a total sham, but proponents pretend it is wildly successful. It’s a step beyond confirmation bias, in that the believer not only sees the desired result, they make it a core assumption and act on it. This has been t... more »
Trump versus NATO is a false narrative: The U.S. will always fund Europe’s defense
*The United States will continue to use NATO as much as possible to drive the agenda of Western-led imperialism* By Vijay Prashad Donald Trump has leapt across the Atlantic Ocean to bring America’s European allies to heel. Or so his Twitter account suggests. In London, an orange effigy will fly above the city in welcome. Massive crowds will gather on Friday to greet him with jeers and boos. Trump has the ability to translate dissent into praise. He will see the crowds and preen. Surely, he is the most important American to set foot in the British Isles.

Kavanaugh and the Military Commissions: Reading the Law “As Written” for an Unpopular Defendant
Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s judicial record on the Guantanamo military commissions is richer and less one-sided than some analysts, including Steve Vladeck in the Washington Post, have suggested. But in a case those analysts failed to mention—*Hamdan v. United States (2012)*, commonly called *Hamdan II*— Kavanaugh displayed a willingness to hold the government’s feet to the fire in a case involving an unpopular defendant. Moreover, the record shows that Kavanaugh’s commitment to apply the law “as written” is informed by history and context. Those qualities are joined with another view... more »

Back to the Forest: The Yok Don National Park in Vietnam is ending elephant rides for tourists
The groundbreaking development was made possible thanks to a new agreement between the park and the organization Animals Asia, with funding from UK’s Olsen Animal Trust, and it marks the beginning of a new tourism model that is free of animal exploitation. The state-run national park is now freeing the elephants who used to give rides and allowing them to roam the nearby forest instead. This way tourists will be able to see the animals in their natural habitat, instead of kept captive and used to entertain. “Instead of constraining the elephants with chains so they can be ridden by... more »

Multiple Barriers To Treatment For Opioid Users
In 2016, more than 42,000 Americans died of an opioid-related overdose, which is alarming - but most of those deaths were not accidents by pain patients or suicides, they were recreational drug users. There are numerous obstacles to making meaningful progress. For one, legitimate pain patients have become more stigmatized - government is blaming doctors and pharmacy rather than drug dealers - and that means people who want to kick their addiction are even more ostracized. read more

*“Who Knows What Evil Lurks?”* by Andrew Bard Schmookler “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.” - Aleksan... more »

A key part of palaeontology is reconstructing long-extinct creatures to understand what they were like when they were alive.

Which of today's organisms are they most like and most closely related to? It has challenges. The history of life can be distorted by the ways animals decompose and lose body parts as they decay - and the ways in which decayed bodies ultimately become fossilized.

[image: undefined] NATO is obsolete. Donald Trump made this argument back on the campaign trail. This week, in his typically hyperbolic manner, he dressed down the organization for its hypocrisy over its mandate, which is to counter any aggression from Russia. But, the potential threat of a Russian invasion of Europe is nil. And, literally, everyone involved in this farce of a summit knows this. So, Trump was right to call out the hypocrisy, but wrong about how to solve it. Attacking Germany over the Nordstream 2 pipeline is nonsense. Trade, especially energy trade, stitches econom... more »
