Green Day Fan? Want To See Congress Flip Blue? Meet Kara Eastman
Lately the Republican Party has been slamming Democratic candidates for having been in bands in high school and college. Let's face it, the arts have never been a conservative thing. True, none of them attacked Sonny Bono for having been in Sonny and Cher before he became the congressman from Palm Springs but when it comes to Beto O'Rourke in Texas and Kara Eastman in Nebraska, you'd think they both had joined a terrorist group.

But with the help of his allies, Assad has nearly defeated this foreign-sponsored insurgency. The US fought him every step of the way. Each time the Syrian military approached another occu... more »

Nature prohibits "protective measurements"
*Hundreds of anti-quantum zealots cannot find a trivial mistake even after 25 years* One of the universal postulates of quantum mechanics is that the information about a physical system may only be obtained through a measurement of an observable. The observable must be mathematically represented by a Hermitian linear operator \(\hat L\) and the result of the measurement has to be one of the eigenvalues of the operator. The probability that a particular eigenvalue \(\lambda\) is produced by the measurement is calculable by Born's rule. After the measurement, the state vector is proj... more »

*Warfare History Network* *Security, * Lots of bombs and torpedoes. Special Sea Attack Force (SSAF) was an ordinary-sounding name for the pitifully tiny remnant of what was once the mighty Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). However, the word “Special” in the Japanese military possessed a unique and dark meaning. In late 1944, when Japan’s defeat became obvious, the desperate Japanese began encouraging kamikaze, or suicide aircraft missions, and created “special” units for carrying out these missions. Thus, “special” became a nonthreatening word for “suicidal,” and Special Sea Attack... more »

Silent Hypocrisy
At John McCain's funeral on Saturday, Americans displayed -- for a brief moment -- the better angels of their nature.

It was an act for Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House. It was an act, most jarringly, for Lindsey Graham, McCain’s dear friend and the senior senator from South Carolina. It was an act for Orrin Hatch, Rob Portman and nearly all of the other Republican members of Congress who attended the se... more »

Kant and Altruism: The Man and the Myth
*By Roger E. Bissell* Leonard Peikoff has long propagated the myth that Kant is an altruist who advocates that one do one’s duty and sacrifice one’s values *because* they are one’s values, of “sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, *as an end in itself*” (1982, 82). This is a *serious* distortion of Kant’s views. Doing one’s duty, for Kant, does *not* require setting aside one’s *values*, but merely one’s *personal inclinations and desires*, and then *acting according to moral principle*. One of his chief illustrations of this point is quite revealing, particularly in comparison to R... more »
