Thomas Reid on the Skepticism of Descartes, Locke, and Hume

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 17 hours ago
Reid’s painting by Henry Raeburn (1796)Thomas Reid critiques the skeptical philosophy of John Locke, David Hume, and other European philosophers in his *An Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense*. He points out that their philosophy leads to the conclusion that there are no substantial beings in the universe, neither bodies nor spirits. He considers this conclusion to be absurd. In Section 3, Chapter 1, of the book, Reid looks at the *Cogito, ergo sum* argument which Descartes has deployed to prove his own existence to himself. Reid asks: “But supposing it pr... more »

Very good evening to you. *Jacob Rees-Mogg*: Good evening. *Evan Davis*: Let's start with the Government ones. You don't think those are fair simulations.

Introducing the 1 Big Problem the Russian and U.S. Navies Both Share

Michael Peck at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * One word: shipyards. Last month, the Russian Navy was mocked because a shipyard accident resulted in the sinking of one of the world's largest drydocks—as well as a falling drydock crane that tore a hole in Russia's only aircraft carrier, the *Admiral Kuznetsov*. Were it not for a dead shipyard worker and the wreckage now rusting under the Arctic, the accident would almost be humorous, the latest incident in the history of a Russian navy that always seems to suffer some misfortune, be it annihilation in battle or nuclear subs irradiating their crews. ... more »

Why you should wrap your car keys in aluminum foil

Erin Elizabeth at Health Nut News - 18 hours ago
Our cars are always “listening.” No, not for our voice but for an electronic signal, like the coded “unlock” signal from your electronic key fob, or the signal that tells newer cars to unlock once you get near. “Listening”.

Just a few snippets of Evan Davis from last night's *PM*: *Evan Davis*: Now you might say, well, economic forecasts are hopeless, but do bear in mind these are not forecasts. They are not saying what will happen in 2033, because lots can change. They look at what happens if you change just one or two things - trading arrangements or migration - so, to take an analogy, it's hard to predict precisely how long any of us will live but it is much easier to analyse the effects of smoking on average length of life, cos you're just changing that one thing, smoking. Also note these projec... more »

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 19 hours ago
Talking about last night's *BBC News at Ten*, here's how Laura Kuenssberg's report began. (Note the dig at the Leave campaign): This isn't a general election, even though it looks a bit like it. The Prime Minister's Brexit deal is the candidate, MPs are the voters. She's hopeful the Government's numbers today show her compromise is better than nothing. *Theresa May*: It shows that the deal we have negotiated with the European Union is the best deal available for jobs and the economy, that also delivers and honours the referendum.

Meet the 5 Deadliest Warships from the Russian Navy

Mark Episkopos at Test Feed Using Fields - 19 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Battlecruisers, an Aircraft Carrier and more. The Russian Federation inherited a substantial naval force from its Soviet predecessor, particularly from the decades following the Cuban Missile Crisis that saw a spurt in Soviet naval investment. But large swathes of these vessels fell into disrepair over the 1990’s from a lack of maintenance and resources. Several of Russia’s hottest current conflict zones, including the Baltic region and more recently the Azov Sea, are naval in nature. The Kremlin has therefore become increasingly focused on moderniz... more »

The Indra 2018 Drills Prove Moscow’s Commitment To Military Diplomacy

Andrew KORYBKO at OrientalReview.org - 19 hours ago
Russian-Indian military ties take on an even more important role than ever before because Moscow is now the only Great Power that has any chance whatsoever of exercising “moderating influence” on New Delhi to counteract Washington’s growing sway. To India’s credit, its leadership understands the need to remain close to Russia. The post The Indra 2018 Drills Prove Moscow’s Commitment To Military Diplomacy appeared first on OrientalReview.org.

Trump reinforces border as migrants attempt to rush immigration authorities

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
What is going on a the usual triumph of hope over common sense. What is clear though is that someone has chosen to subsidize this trek in an attempt to gain a political advantage in the USA. The exact same thing was done to Europe as well and produced huge disruption and damage and blow back as well. The fact is that we are not set up for this type of action particularly when it has been weaponized as well as part of a political agenda. Prior experience takes us back to the Boat people problem off Vietnam and the resent rush to cross into Italy from north Africa. In these cas... more »

The High Cost of Scandinavian “Socialism”

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
Firstly what we see is hardly socialism as seen elsewhere but well thought out programs that actually work. The Government does not operate steel mills in order to attempt to pay for it. What is wrong here is that they think that a high rate of taxation is necessary. They are clearly on the wrong side of the Laffer curve. I do think that bringing the tax bite down to USA levels will rapidly expand incomes and the tax take to match the outlay. After all direct costs will not rise easily and incomes will. The process can even be done ten percent per year allowing slow adjustme... more »

Orbital Kinetic Bombardment gets close to nuclear on damage and cost

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
The Rod from God makes tactical nuclear weapons obsolete and the strategic kind never made sense except as a suicide pact or an irrational act of genocide. Implementing this capability allows the USA to impose anti nuclear weapon superiority over the surface of the earth to a degree in which all forms of ground warfare is reduced to distributed infantry. We are there already to a large degree, but this avoids deployment as a distinct option. I do think that it was demoed in that rail-yard in Northern China in order to bring the Chinese Generals to their senses. The USA Space fo... more »

This is an extraordinary tale of how villagers actually were inspired to fight alongside other defenders who started as complete strangers. In this tale, one skilled individual did it all. Those skills can easily be taught and practice quickly pays off. No different that salesmanship training but actually way more important. Truth is most of us come to the game not only unprepared for this but even trained off it from concentration on alternate objectives in our school years. It can be as simple as stepping a little closer and focusing on listening. It was enough to persuad... more »

C4ISRNet:* *Why the military needs Skynet* In October 1984, the movie “The Terminator” introduced us to Skynet, a futuristic artificial intelligence system that eventually became “self-aware” before turning on its creators and aiming to wipe out humanity. It is an overly sensational image of a future dominated by renegade intelligent machines.
