the very virtue of ritual turn to vice when now the ritual becomes the god instead of a means
*The *danger of course in the stultification of mercy’s flame is that the very ritual itself might become encased in the darker hue of death, and the very virtue of ritual turn to vice when now the ritual becomes the god instead of a means to serve the ever moving, the motion of the wind of the Holy Spirit, the leaping of the sacred fire, the jumping of the spume of the wave….

Freedom is Not a Universal Solution
Freedom is not a panacea for every nation. A few nations are energized by freedom, but most are apathetic to it. There are nations where people are incapable of taking charge of their own life—they are habituated to being told what they must do for earning their bare necessities. If there is no one around to give orders, they feel cheated of their way of life. The idea of freedom is of importance only in the nations which enjoy a relatively high standard of living and where people have become addicted to luxuries. In places where luxuries are not available, people have no conception... more »

Why were Corn Flakes invented? Not to be an anti-masturbatory aid, despite the viral rumor
Apparently, there are rumors online suggesting that Kelloggs Corn Flakes were invented as an aid against masturbation.

Amazon Fires–Latest BBC Fake News
By Paul Homewood I’ve only been gone a couple of days, and there’s already yet more hysterical (and fake) reports across the world’s media! “Record wildfires in the Amazon” shrieks the press, and apparently it is Brazilian President Bolsonaro who is to blame, and not global warming (though there is not much difference. Surprised […]
Forget the AK-47, M-16 or AR-15: Is This the Best Rifle Ever?
*Warfare History Network, Blaine Taylor* *Security, * You decide. According to The History Channel’s Tales of the Gun, the Mauser 98 was “the best bolt action rifle ever made.” Author Robert W.D. Ball added that the Mauser was “a safe and robust rifle with a five-round clip, and the world’s most popular rifle; 30 countries used it, and 100 million units were manufactured between 1898-1945, during which it was employed in both world wars by the German Army. At 49 inches long, the shorter carbine K98k World War II version witnessed 14 million produced.” Read full article
France's Dassault Rafale Is No Competition for the F-35
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* The reasons why. *Despite incorporating stealth technology, the Rafale (“Burst of Fire” or “Gust of Wind”), is not a true stealth aircraft like the F-35.* In January 2019, French Defense Minister Florence Parly announced France would commit $2.3 billion to develop an F4 generation of the Dassault Rafale twin-engine multirole fighter. This would include production in 2022–2024 of the last twenty-eight of the original order of 180 Rafales, followed by the purchase of an additional thirty Rafales F4.2s between 2027–2030, for a total of 210. ... more »
President Trump, Steam Catapults on Aircraft Carriers Are Old News
*James Holmes* *Technology, Americas* The future is here. *Yet, like all steam contrivances, they are labor-intensive and inefficient.* You have to hand it to President Trump; he bites certain topics in the nether regions and develops lockjaw. Certain naval technologies count among those topics. To wit: steam catapults in nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Early in his presidency Trump made headlines railing against the newfangled electromagnetic catapults meant to loft warplanes skyward from the decks of *Ford-*class aircraft carriers, the next class of U.S. Navy flattops, at ... more »

"Look Around You..."
"You are put in school to be trained to become exactly what they want you to be: not them, anything but them. They live on a golden island and have the key to the only bridge. Your parents are not millionaires, so it doesn't matter how intelligent you are, you aren't invited to their party. That's the great shame. The idiots have the gold, and the poor die to give it to them. So you better start to laugh, because this world is one big joke written by the few, at the expense of the masses. Look around you, that feeling your life isn't going anywhere? That's the feeling that makes yo... more »
"Why the Grieving, And You, Should Read Hamlet"
*"Why the Grieving, And You, Should Read Hamlet"* by Meghan O'Rourke "I had a hard time sleeping right after my mother died. The nights were long and had their share of what C.S. Lewis, in his memoir "A Grief Observed"*, calls "mad, midnight … entreaties spoken into the empty air." One of the things I did was read. I read lots of books about death and loss. But one said more to me about grieving than any other: Hamlet. I'm not alone in this. A colleague recently told me that after his mother died he listened over and over to a tape recording he'd made of the Kenneth Branagh film ve... more »
"O Brave New World..."
"How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't." - William Shakespeare, "The Tempest"
The Poet: John Updike, "Ode to Entropy"
*“The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics”* by Chet Raymo "Let me share these lines from "Ode to Entropy": “Death exists nowhere in nature, not In the minds of birds or the consciousness of flowers, Not even in the numb brain of the wildebeest calf Gone under to the grinning crocodile, nowhere In the mesh of woods or the tons of sea, only In our forebodings, our formulae.” Can that be true? That no other creature than ourselves anticipates non-existence? Surely, other animals experience danger. The wildebeest calf darts to avoid the lunging crocodile. The rabbit in my ne... more »
