"The most distant object easily visible to the eye is M31, the great Andromeda Galaxy some two and a half million light-years away. But without a telescope, even this immense spiral galaxy - spanning over 200,000 light years - appears as a faint, nebulous cloud in the constellation Andromeda. In contrast, details of a bright yellow nucleus and dark winding dust lanes, are revealed in this digital telescopic image.

Chet Raymo, "On Saying 'I Don't Know'"
*"On Saying 'I Don't Know'"* by Chet Raymo “Johannes Kepler is best known for figuring out the laws of planetary motion. In 1610, he published a little book called “The Six-Cornered Snowflake” that asked an even more fundamental question: How do visible forms arise? He wrote: "There must be some definite reason why, whenever snow begins to fall, its initial formation is invariably in the shape of a six-pointed starlet. For if it happens by chance, why do they not fall just as well with five corners or with seven?" All around him Kepler saw beautiful shapes in nature: six-pointed s... read more

“Societal Collapse”
*“Societal Collapse”* by Hardscrabble Farmer “Anyone interested in understanding the mechanics of human history must first and foremost understand the cycles of Nature and the nature of living things. There exists a balance in every closed system; creation and dissolution, growth and decay, life and death. There is no escape from this dynamic, no means by which one can exist without the other. Sometimes societies ascend, but eventually, over time, they collapse. For a very long time America has benefited from exploiting the reserves of other nations – their labor, their resources, ... read more

From Blair to Nowhere
Polls stubbornly putting your party behind the worst government in living memory? Personal ratings worse than the man whose neglect, incompetence, and tardy management of the pandemic has killed 130,000 people? If you are unfortunate enough to be in this position, like Keir Starmer, how might you go about turning around these poor numbers? One option would be to look at the one general election in 24 years in which the Labour Party won seats and grew its electorate. Seems reasonable. But then, there are factional considerations at play and so it's not allowed. What else then? Why, g... read more
