Restoring marriage
The problems inherent in marriage are discussed in an article at National Review. The excerpt below highlights many of the issues they discuss, and I've highlighted one paragraph in bold, underlined text for further discussion. Who or what is to blame for this unraveling of marriage and the complete breakdown of trust in Rob’s world, and in the world of so many white, working-class people like him? Economic instability is most immediately evident ... Less visible but more dramatic is the role of social alienation. At least two generations have now come of age in the aftermath of ... more »

The Aircraft Carrier Isn't Obsolete Just Yet
*Salvatore Babones* *Security, * Skeptics are missing the big policy point: America's aircraft carriers are no longer intended for use in naval warfare. They're designed to give the President the power to take control of a substantial chunk of the surface of the Earth and put it to use in the national interest of the United States. In the fourth week of October, 1944, the United States Navy sank the Japanese fleet. Nearly all of it. Japan lost twenty-eight major surface combatants and more than 300 aircraft in the four-day Battle of Leyte Gulf, fought off the east coast of the P... more »
Vikings Blamed For Disappearance Of Icelandic Walrus
No matter how far back in recorded time you go, you were once an intruder. Native Americans of 1800 were genetically different from the natives who lived in North America of 1600, who had little in common with those 1400. Yet none of them were original settlers. And when we think of Vikings, we think of ancient people hundreds of years before that, but they were once intruders too, and they caused a unique population of Icelandic walrus to disappear 1,100 years ago as they expanded. read more
How Far Away Is Immortality?
It was quite unlike any other acceptance speech of the UEFA President’s award.

Hair he is again!
Who's behind the beard? Christopher Snowden of the IEA ('who funds them?') tweeted the following yesterday: If you’re tweeting about Tommy Robinson’s release from prison today, be sure to mention that he was born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon because apparently this owns him in some way. The BBC's Dominic Casciani - a man who grew a beard a couple of years or so back and whose stage name is 'BBC DomC' - must have read Christopher's tweet and taken his advice to heart. Here were the BBC man's three tweets on the subject yesterday: 1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the anti-Muslim/Islam campaig... more »
They-Person and the Master-Mistresses of the Universe
Singer Sam Smith has come out as non-binary and wants to be referred to as "they/them" rather than "he/him". The BBC has reported the news, and here's a tweet from Paul Embery about their online coverage: "Throughout this article, the BBC obliges Smith's demand and refers to him as 'they' - something that is both biologically and grammatically illiterate. Yes, we should treat people with compassion and respect. But I'm afraid this is just ridiculous." Here are some examples from the BBC report: - Six months ago, Smith said *they* did not feel male or female, but "I flow som... more »

Is Another Nation Going to Buy the S-400 from Russia?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] Is Serbia next? In September 2019, Russia and Serbia held their first joint air-defense exercise, Slavic Shield. In this exercise, Serbian air-defense troops learned how to use the S-400 air defense system, practicing its employment against a variety of targets, both simulated and real. Naturally, this opens the question as to whether Serbia plans to buy the S-400. But a look back into the history of Serbia provides mixed answers. According to an oral history given by former Yugoslavian Minister of Foreign Affairs Živadin Jovanov... more »

F-35s Are Old News: What Would a Sixth Generation Fighter Look Like?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * We asked a top expert to give us his take. What weapons should it have? How would it operate? Will it be stealth? A recent trend in the aerospace world is to divide postwar warplanes into so-called “generations.” These generations are mainly distinguished by time and technology, and the current state of the art lies in “fifth-generation” fighters. Now that at least three countries, the United States, Russia, and China are developing such jets, speculation naturally turns to what comes next.

*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.lockharttactical.com/media/com_hikashop/upload/tikka_arctic.jpg] What do you think? While bolt action rifles have been supplanted in most roles by semi-automatics, they remain solid choices for people who just want a light rifle for self-defense against predators and hunting. Also, as scopes have become more popular and durable, the traditional iron-sighted bolt action rifle is falling out of favor. However, iron sights will always be lighter and lower profile than scopes, qualities that may prove attractive to an outdoorsman... more »
Enough Nuclear: All of the Reasons the U.S. Navy Needs Diesel Submarines
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: JO2 Ryan C. McGinley, USN [Public domain]] They’re cheap, defensible, and punch above their weight in the right setting—what’s not to love? For the past five years or so these pixels have been arguing—nay, clamoring—for the U.S. Navy to build or buy a contingent of diesel attack submarines (SSKs) to fill out its undersea inventory. If anything the logic for going conventional is more compelling now than ever. It offers a way to add new hulls with dispatch, at manageable cost, and without imposing extra burdens on the few shipbuilders that ... more »

State Surveillance: Blacklisting and the secret habit employers can’t seem to kick
This article is part of a series we are publishing from the ‘State of Surveillance’ report written by BigBrotherWatch, the civil liberties organisation.

How do people learn to cook a poisonous plant safely?
This is important. The principle difference with core human cognition with other animals including our closest primate cousins is that we are persistent imitators. This has never been particularly obvious so it has never been investigated. That difference is just enough to explain our successful accumulation of successful protocols as the long term construction of a culture. An accumulation of learned practice which is imitation plus a similar accumulation of data then processed through cognition nicely explains human intelligence. Throw in a robust time window of course. *... more »

How North Korean Mines and Artillery Dealt the U.S. Navy a Stinging Defeat in 1950
