"Puzzling..."
"I've wondered why it took us so long to catch on. We saw it and yet we didn't see it. Or rather we were trained not to see it.

The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth,'' and so it goes away. Puzzling..." - Robert M. Pirsig

When characters get out of an author's control

FOX USES ABDUCTION STORY AS IMPLICIT JUSTIFICATION FOR ITS POLITICAL WORLDVIEW
Like a lot of other media outlets, Fox is devoting a lot of attention to the story of Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl who was just discovered months after her parents were murdered and she went missing. But I think Fox News Insider is the only outlet where this is considered the most important detail of the story: Why is this the headline? I think it's obvious: Fox thrives on instilling fear, and one of the main ways it does that is by conveying the impression that the world is a horribly scary place where you're likely to be brutalized by a stranger at any moment.

Quantum gravity from self-collisions of the configuration space

They are mapped to each other in various ways. There isn't a self-evident metaphysical difference between them which is why I believe that the truly ex... more »

"Mainstream Media Warns Of American 'Economic Hellscape' If The Government Shutdown Continues"
*"Mainstream Media Warns Of American 'Economic Hellscape'* * If The Government Shutdown Continues"* by Michael Snyder "Is the mainstream media overhyping the economic impact of the government shutdown for political purposes? Of course they are. Once upon a time the mainstream media in the United States at least attempted to maintain a facade of objectivity, but those days are long gone. In this case, they want to stir up as much public resentment against President Trump as possible in order to try to force him to end the government shutdown. And when NBC News breathlessly declared ... more »

What Independent Investigations of the Past Can Teach Congress About Its Role in the Mueller Probe

Philosophical Wisdom Versus Scientific Creed
Etienne GilsonGood philosophy has to be based on knowledge of reality but it cannot be developed by adopting a purely scientific method. Etienne Gilson proves this point through several examples in his book *The Unity of Philosophical Experience*.

Far from making up for the loss of philosophy, the discovery of the scientific substitutes for it leaves man alone with nature such as it is, and obliges him to surrender to natural neces... more »
