What Meat Eaters Have to Say About Veganism (You May Be Surprised!)
*Chris Bryant* *Environment, World* Here's what the research says. Most people in the UK are committed meat eaters – but for how long? My new research into the views of meat eaters found that most respondents viewed veganism as ethical in principle and good for the environment. It seems that practical matters of taste, price, and convenience are the main barriers preventing more people from adopting veganism – not disagreement with the fundamental idea. This could have major implications for the future of the food industry as meat alternatives become tastier, cheaper and more w... more »
We Know Why America's Delivery of THAAD To South Korea Really Sent China Into An Uproar
*Grant Newsham* *Security, Asia* It's not about the missiles themselves. *Key point: *China wants to shake America's Asian alliances. Chinese opposition to South Korea’s deployment of the THAAD missile defense system is less about missiles than about an ongoing effort to weaken—and ideally demolish—the United States’ network of formal and informal alliances in Asia that has underpinned the regional order for the last seventy years. The THAAD controversy that heated up in 2016 once deployment became likely displays a familiar Chinese modus operandi: First, pick a fight over an a... more »

Anti-Science Republicans Playing Dangerous Games With Coronavirus Outbreak
Last Wednesday, the House passed H.R. 6074, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, by a lopsided bipartisan vote-- 415-2. Two far right sociopaths, Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Ken Buck (R-CO), voted against it, whining about the high cost. Several other Republicans were also whining about the cost but in the end they feared their constituents and voted for the $8.3 billion package. Crackpot Matt Gaetz, who is now in quarantine and also opposed the bill but voted for it in the end, caused a kerfuffle when he showed up to vote and make light of the pand... more »

On The Hegelian Notion Of Civilization
As individuals grow to maturity, societies make progress from barbarism to civilization, but the civilizations are like snowflakes in the sense that no two civilizations are alike. If the term “civilization” is interpreted as an inexorable movement towards a single, unalterable, universal, and final form of society (as Hegel has envisioned in his Phenomenology of Spirit), then instead of moving towards civilization, society will regress into barbarism.

Is Capitalism Killing the Planet?
*Samuel Alexander* *Environment, World* It's time to face reality. As the Productivity Commission confirmed this week, Australia’s economy has enjoyed uninterrupted growth for 28 years straight. Specifically, our output of goods and services last financial year grew by 2%. Economists obviously see the growth of a national economy as good news – but what is it doing to the Earth? Capitalism demands limitless economic growth, yet research shows that trajectory is incompatible with a finite planet. If capitalism is still the dominant economic system in 2050, current trends sugges... more »
How to Tell the Difference Between a Pandemic, Epidemic and an Outbreak
*Rebecca S.B. Fischer* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] It’s a matter of scale. The coronavirus is on everyone’s minds.

But I’m also hearing newscasters and neighbors alike mixing up three important words: outbreak, epidemic and pandemic. Simply put, the difference between these three scenarios of disease spread is a matter of scale. *Outbreak* Small, but unusual. By tracking diseas... more »

*"Another Night in the Ruins"* "How many nights must it take one such as me to learn that we aren't, after all, made from that bird that flies out of its ashes, that for us as we go up in flames, our one work is to open ourselves, to *be* the flames?" ~ Galway Kinnell
Chet Raymo, “Try To Remember…”
*“Try To Remember…”* by Chet Raymo “In a sleepless hour of the night, I was trying to remember the last name of a person I have known well for more than forty years. When my spouse stirred in her sleep, I asked her. She couldn't remember either. One again I started mentally through the alphabet. "I think it starts with B," I said. Ten minutes later she rolled over and said, "The next letter is R." Bingo! The name popped into my head. Or I should say, "popped out of my head." Because it was in there somewhere, recorded in a tangle of neurons as materially as if it were written on a ... more »
"For Nothing Is Fixed..."
"For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out." - James Baldwin

Meet Russia's Anchar Class Submarine: Too Fast for Its Own Good
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EA6Q1GKB01&share=true] Over-engineered? *Key point:* The submarine could attain impressive speeds, this is true. Yet, it would often break and was too easily found by its enemies. Speed has often held a mixed appeal in submarine warfare. After all, even very quiet submarines become noisy when they're tearing through the ocean at their maximum speed of 20 to 30 knots. As typically the goal in submarine warfare is to detect an unaware adversary and launch torp... more »
How the Warsaw Pact and NATO Nearly Blew Each Other (And the World) to Smithereens

Thankfully such a conflict never happened, but they both were ready to end the world. World War II was the most destructive war in human history. Consider that, *a conservative estimate of World War II fatalities* is 60 million people, or roughly 3 percent of the world’s population at the time.

If China wanted to, it could certainly dictate some of the terms. In 648, Silla (present day Southeast of South Korea) formed an alliance with Tang China to begin its conquest of the Korean Peninsula after years of stalemate with Baekje (present day Southwest in South Korea) and Goguryeo (present day North Korea and Manchuria). The Tang-Silla alliance ... more »
Why Didn't China Build More Qing Class Nuclear Missiles Submarines?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2009%3Anewsml_GM1E54N1GYZ01&share=true] The one and only. *Key point:* Either the cost was too high or it was just an experiment, but Beijing only ever ordered one Qing submarine. That boat carries nuclear missiles and is one serious piece of hardware. In 2010, China’s first—and only, so far—Qing-class submarine sailed out to sea following nearly six years of construction. Displacing 6,628 tons submerged and measuring exactly the length of a football field at one hundred yards ... more »

Study This Picture: The KC-46A Pegasus Is the Air Force's Fancy New Tanker

These planes are needed to extend the attack range of America's fighters and bombers. In 2018 the Air Force plans to bring its first eighteen KC-46A refueling tankers into service—paving the way for the replacements of its vast fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers that date back to the 1950s.

Now China has made no secret of its quest to rapidly develop a carrier aviation capabilities similar to those of the United ... more »

Biden is no progressive, but he is playing one on TV until such time as he can (maybe) dispatch Bernie. Then he will pivot back to his center-right comfort zone. Then Trump will, strange as may seem, start attacking Joe from the LEFT as regards his nearly half-century long career of chipping away at the New Deal along with the appearance of corruption named Hunter. Not to mention what are euphemized as "gaffes." Avoidance of hypocrisy has never been Trump's shtick. .
