Anti-tether hysteria and low speed of deflation of cryptobubble
*Two proofs of a low IQ of the cryptocurrency "investors"* The first TRF blog post that contains the word "Bitcoin" was posted in November 2013 and the title said Bitcoin will probably keep on skyrocketing. Superficially, that title looks like an amazing prophesy today but the devil is in the details. If you had wanted to use my "precious prophesy" to become wealthy, you needed lots of patience. The Bitcoin was worth $1,000 when I wrote that blog post and it would decrease up to the bottom near $200 or so in 2015. (The drop was mostly due to the collapsed Mt Gox cryptocurrency exc... more »

Disinformation, Neocon-Style
It's deja vu all over again. When you look closely at the pushback against the Nunes memo exposing the alleged misuse of the secret FISA Court for political gain or revenge, you begin to see a pattern and a formula. The propagation of anti-Russian fever is weirdly reminiscent of the run-up to the US invasion of Iraq. That Vladimir Putin is "hacking" our crumbling democracy is as much an article of faith as Saddam Hussein's cache of weapons of mass destruction. The methods by which this faith is being propagated to the American public become especially obvious when you notice that s... more »

Guilty Plea Not Always Leading to Mitigation of Sentence

*If more money was diverted to school choice efforts, our education system would necessarily be upended* Columnist Star Parker wrote recently on this issue and the urgency of school reform amidst horrible proficiency statistics. As Parker notes, America’s financial contribution to education is second to none. Yet none of that additional investment is evident in overall grades. Students here rank 23, 25 and 40 globally when it comes to reading, science and math, respectively. Moreover, she writes, “In the case of our black children, the results are dismal.

Kant’s View of Hume’s Argument
Immanuel Kant saw David Hume as an ally or predecessor than an adversary. In his published works Kant has constantly emphasized the importance of Hume. He has said that Hume had interrupted his dogmatic slumber. In his *Critique of Pure Reason* he confesses that he is pursuing a line of thought that Hume has originally proposed but has failed to fully develop. In his book *Kant: A Biography* (Chapter: "“All-Crushing” Critic of Metaphysics"), Manfred Kuhen gives a description of Kant’s view of the argument that Hume is offering. Kant believed that Hume’s argument consists of the fol... more »

The Grotesque Chaos of Claire Kober’s Haringey
*Guest post from David Osland* The resignation of a council leader would normally be no biggie. I mean, I’m guessing entirely here, but presumably that happens in towns or cities across Britain several times a year, for one reason or another. These things usually merit a run of front pages in the local press, and perhaps a short mention or two nationally. They are then swiftly forgotten, as just another ego-driven municipal hissy fit over a bypass or an over-budget leisure centre. All of that makes the events surrounding Claire Kober’s departure in Haringey simply extraordinary. ... more »
