Internet Needs More Diverse Censors, Says Democratic Think Tank
Racism, being as all-American as rotten apple pie, has gotten a huge fertilizing boost thanks to modern technology.

ROCKMAKERS: Professors engaged in the making of rocks!
*FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 2018Part 5—Potent heuristic holds:* A growing consensus has been reinforced in today's Washington Post. The growing consensus concerns Bally's 1967 pinball machine, RockMakers, which has sometimes been described as "Wittgenstein's pinball machine." The iconography of the machine portrayed a group of primitive humanoids whose lives were wholly devoted to the making of rocks. The later Wittgenstein began his puzzling magnum opus, Philosophical Investigations, with an otherwise puzzling passage which is now widely believed to have served as a prediction that Bally... more »

Dealing with a riot or political unrest
We've seen how demonstrations on both the left and right of US politics have led to increasing violence on our streets. For those of us living in cities where this sort of thing is common, it's an unpleasant reminder that we aren't necessarily safe from extremists, even in our own homes. There's also the criminal element that takes advantage of such unrest for its own purposes. Those of us living further away from such incidents may nevertheless find ourselves at risk if we have to travel to other centers.

The Philosophical Difference Between Original Art and a Fake
Rembrandt’s *Lucretia*Why do people prefer an original work of art to an exact-copy of it when they cannot tell the difference between the two? It cannot be due to aesthetic reasons because the two look similar. It is possible that if the copy which looks like the original is a counterfeit, we will be averse to it for purely moral reasons, just as we are averse to any act of fraud. But even if the copies do not entail any act of counterfeiting, they can evoke some kind of negative response from people. For instance, there are copies of Leonardo da Vinci’s *Monalisa* and other famou... more »
A BBC Tour Of Syria With The Russian Military (Video)

Bill Gates's Freshman Year

Mr. Gates does not say who the professor was. And since this predates my time at Harvard by about a decade, I don't know. Perhaps Otto Eckstein, who taught the course for many years.

A call out to the current occupant of the White House By Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez August 16, 2018 After being under relentless assault by the current president for some 3 years, on August 16th, the nation’s mainstream media – its opinion writers – are finally striking back. On this day, some 100 of the nation’s leading newspapers are set to publish columns in defense of the 1st Amendment, and against his continued calls to censorship and violence against the press. When a would-be dictator dehumanizes community after community, and also the press, it is good to see the media ... more »

Facebook and the Effectiveness of Election Engineering
Since November 8, 2016, we regularly hear the narrative about the Russians hijacking the presidential election through the use of fake news on social media platforms, a process that I am terming "election engineering". Let's look at some background on election engineering from Facebook first followed by a very interesting case study showing how an election was successfully engineered using social media. A 2017 study by Hunt Allcott and Matthew Gentzkow entitled "Social Media and Fake News in the 2016 Election" observed that social media users can share news content widely with no s... more »

But then they get older and the enthusiasm wanes. Why, folks wonder. It's a complicated matter that involves many factors and problems, but I know one factor tat everyone could work on right away.

BBC news or not
I hear that a 20-year-old Israeli woman was killed in a suspected car-ramming near the Havat Gilad outpost in the West Bank, close to Nablus. The suspected driver fled the scene. Emergency responders said she succumbed to a severe head wound at the scene following initial CPR attempts. The Israeli military is currently investigating the matter. I can't seem to find any mention of this attack on the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news. If it had been an attack on a Palestinian then it would be definitely reported by the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

There is no such person as a transgender. Just stop pretending.
