Why Is A Non-Browning Apple Less 'Natural' Than Non-Fat Milk?
Once upon a time, non-fat milk (the cream removed) was only used for fattening pigs. It was clearly a technological process to remove the cream but it is not considered "unnatural" - in 2012, the Obama administration even told schools to start serving it as a healthier alternative to regular milk. Meanwhile, the same administration delayed a salmon because it had a gene from a similar salmon that would allow it to grow all year 'round. The second technology was "unnatural." read more
No Ghost In The Machine: AI Taking Over The World Is Unscientific Paranoia
Should we be afraid of artificial intelligence? For me, this is a simple question with an even simpler, two letter answer: no. But not everyone agrees – many people, including the late physicist Stephen Hawking, have raised concerns that the rise of powerful AI systems could spell the end for humanity. Clearly, your view on whether AI will take over the world will depend on whether you think it can develop intelligent behavior surpassing that of humans – something referred to as “super intelligence”. So let’s take a look at how likely this is, and why there is much concern about ... more »
New Tax Plan Makes It Easier to 'Ed-exit'
[image: undefined] This week the House of Representatives will vote on a package of bills making the temporary tax cuts contained in last year’s tax reform bill permanent and making additional tax law changes. The bills will likely pass in the House, but will almost certainly be filibustered in the Senate if the Senate leadership tries to bring them to the floor. The GOP tax plan does offset some of the damage caused by federal control of education by making it easier for parents to escape failing government schools or “edexit.” It accomplishes this by allowing money saved in a ta... more »

Strong structures, transparent and properly registered businesses are among the important protection of people against natural calamities like strong storms. An informal business tends to have informal physical structures in order to evade being noticed by government regulators as doing well, that way they can evade paying many taxes and business permits.

*Texas education officials finally OK Mexican-American studies course* After four years of battles over ethnic studies textbooks and courses in a state with a booming Latino population, state education officials gave final approval to adopt a Mexican-American studies course that can be taught statewide. Although the State Board of Education OK’d the course with no discussion at its board meeting Friday in Austin, the issue of teaching Texas students about the influence of Mexican-Americans has dominated much of the board’s discussion for more than four years.

Theory and Practice
In theory, a theory is abstracted practice, and a practice is applied theory. But, in practice, that is not the case. Most intellectuals are unable to reconcile their theories with practice, which is why much of philosophy appears impractical. In the book that I am currently reading, Edmund Burke’s *A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful*, I found the following comment on theory and practice (Part 1, “Conclusion”): It is, I own, not uncommon to be wrong in theory, and right in practice: and we are happy that it is so. Men often act right from their feelings, who aft... more »

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN?
It's possible that the new allegations against Brett Kavanaugh will persuade Republicans that it isn't worth fighting to save him. But if that were the case, there'd be silence right now on the right as the party assesses its options. Instead, we've got this from a top apparatchik at the *Wall Street Journal* editorial page: The left made a mistake with this Ramirez story. It isn't just how embarrassingly flimsy it is; she was inebriated; took six days to find memories; everyone denies it. But it strongly suggests the Ford delay demands were about cooking this up.

*Fake news about refugees* *Yes. Africa has droughts. Always has had and always will have. Yes, there are many genuine refugees but all we know of are fleeing war, not the climate.

Voting for War
In a recent vote, the United States Senate proved that it can act with a single-minded purpose when it comes to one issue; war. On a recent vote taken on September 18, 2018, the Senate overwhelmingly voted to approve House Resolution 6157 as you will see in this posting. As background, H.R. 6157 formally entitled "An Act making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes." can be summarized as follows: "*Provides FY2019 appropriations to the Department of Defense (DOD) for military activities.

It Can't Be Redeemed
As new allegations of his sexual misconduct arose over the weekend, Republicans doubled down on their defence of Brett Kavanaugh. If you're searching for the motivation behind their behaviour, E.J.

The politics of destruction
What we're seeing from the Democratic Party and the progressive far-left-wing of US politics, in connection with the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Justice of the Supreme Court, is nothing less than the politics of destruction.

Patrick Buchanan: A cancer grows at the Catholic Church
The real issue is that neither sexuality nor homosexuality happens to be benign. Attempting to deal with it through celibacy is obviously impossible and protecting in-celibate priests is absurd if you maintain a doctrine of celibacy for priests. Historically, celibacy simply meant that those in society who were subject to aberrant urges naturally ran to the Church for shelter at the least and companionship with like. Thus we have this more public problem now that society is prepared to no longer suppress the problem and largely deny its existence. Expelling all homosexuals fr... more »
