DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
A few days ago I was listening to Iranians being interviewed in Tehran on NPR. Invariably, they were completely accepting the regime's version of the shooting down of the Ukrainian airline and absolutely certain that the contrary evidence had been manufactured by the U.S. 'Wow,' I thought, 'they're as brainwashed as American evangelicals are! And just as stupid and bigoted!' However, when the Iranian regime finally copped to the truth over the weekend, Iranians were shocked-- and infuriated. And, unlike U.S. evangelicals, out on the streets protesting-- even calling on Iran's supr... more »

Congress Has Lost Its Mojo—This Is How It Can Get It Back

William Yeatman at The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*William Yeatman* *Politics, * Congress’s weakness threatens liberty because it reflects a breakdown of the Constitution’s structural check on overbearing government. As I’ve argued repeatedly, Congress is a shell of its former self. In last Sunday’s *Washington Post*, Paul Kane made the same point specifically with respect to Congress's upper chamber. He wrote: The Senate tasked with holding President Trump’s impeachment trial would be unrecognizable to most of its predecessors . . .

Cosmologists neglecting the motion of the Solar System are crackpots

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 18 hours ago
For a year or two, all of us were aware of discrepancies in the measurement of Hubble's constant. Several updated, comparably plausible methods yield values of \(H_0\) that differ by as much as 10%. I think that without the elimination of some of these determinations, we are forced to admit that very many cosmological parameters, perhaps including the age of the Universe, are only known with the precision of 10% or so and the "high-precision cosmology" started in the late 1990s was an illusion, at least at this moment it should be treated as one. It is possible that the resolution t... more »

The REAL Answer To The Viral Chinese Math Problem "How Old Is The Captain?"

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
Of course the question is not Chinese but a test question used initially by the French some forty years ago. The correct answer is that there is not enough information to answer this question. The shocker however is that 75% of the target audience actually attempted to manipulate the numbers. The audience was grades five through six or there about. This is important because it is a powerful indicator just how badly our brains are trained to respond obsessively using the expected tools at hand.
