Is Ayn Rand’s Objectivism a Philosophy?

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 17 hours ago
Ayn RandAyn Rand’s novels, like the works of a few other great thinkers, have a stunning impact on the mind when you read them for the first time. You get mesmerized by the larger than life characters that you discover in her novels, and the notion that philosophy has practical consequences gets inscribed in your memory. Most people become acquainted with Rand by reading her novels and if they make inquiries about her, they learn that she is the founder of a school called objectivism. After the publication of *Atlas Shrugged* in 1958, she decided to become a philosopher—with a band... more »

Is Sheldon's and Amy's paper an extension of Polchinski's work?

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 18 hours ago
TV viewers are watching the last, twelfth season of The Big Bang Theory on CBS. We saw the first episodes of TBBT and Young Sheldon (2nd season) after the Christmas break (the 11th episodes). Young Sheldon has employed some Socratic and social scientific strategies to teach mathematics to his sister Missy. He had some successes but when he has used the punishment of Missy's doll as an incentive, it backfired and she slapped him in his face. The same thing happened to his older brother George who had a crush on a girl and pretended to be a Christian – this also reminds me of somethin... more »

Indeed. Meanwhile, BBC Trending has taken one such fabricated story and spun it to smear US conservatives as a whole. You'll get a sense of the piece's loaded tone from just its first ... more »

Russia Wanted a Tank That Could Fire Missiles and Nuclear Weapons

Charlie Gao at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Russia* A Cold War wonder weapon--or not? In the 1950s and 1960s when tactical nuclear weapons were expected to rule the battlefield, the Soviet Army developed a variety of short-range tactical nuclear launchers, their answer to the American launchers like the Davy Crockett. One of these systems was the “Reseda” launcher, two 230mm recoilless rifles that would fire an oversize 360mm tactical nuke up to six kilometers away. These launchers were mounted on a BTR-60 chassis. But by the late 1960s, such simple systems were considered to be too primitive. A ... more »

The U.S. Army has officially terminated the “Punisher.” The XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System, or “Punisher,” was designed to engage enemy troops behind cover. While successful, the high-tech infantry weapon was the victim of a lengthy development period, ballooning costs, a perceived lack of utility and a 2013 incident that wounded a soldier carrying it.

VICE – The Dick Cheney/Rumsfeld Conspiracy

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
We are now starting to understand the mechanics behind the Bush Presidency and it is not good news. I had always considered George Bush jr as an obvious lightweight, but cut him some slack as he had made it through some form of a college education. If anything i consider him to be a good guy way outside the league his father ran in and any success he had looks to be purely deus ex machina. I have met many such men over the years and they all need to remember that their good fortune is not theirs. Even then we never understood the baleful influence of Cheney and Rumsfeld and th... more »

Vampirism about to become mainstream “medicine”

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
This particular meme has been out there for centuries so it is unsurprising that someone is finally starting to work out the science. This may turn out to be promising if only because we will succeed in identifying what actually works allowing us to synthesize it. It is a really sound protocol for experimentation that avoids a whole range of real problems such as the ethics of waiting a century to discover if something works. It is also true that teens in a growth spurt also replace blood quickly and this supports some form of milking that would be completely safe. Add in s... more »

Tanzanian Farmers Crack the Coder for fighting Land Grab

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
Slowly but surely global literacy is empowering the powerless. Legal systems exist and formal and formal methods of non violent redress exist and are slowly solving all this. The take home is that mapping is important and must never be taken for granted. Applying this to Canada's reserves is obvious and then empowering actual ownership that must also allow actual sales to members at least. All this ultimately produces a market and the possibility of third party finance. I have posted often on resolving poverty which is completely possible, but have left this issue off the tabl... more »

This is a welcome surprise and also calls into the question the African IQ problem which may after all not be real at all and something to be hoped for. IQ tests are weighted in terms of two obvious factors. One is language of education and the second is nutrition throughout ones education. It seems reasonable that Nigeria has had the full use of English in its overall education system and this has promoted maximum access. I am equally aware that South Africa has had a history of starving the blacks in terms of educational support and also in terms of calories and mostly thi... more »

The monk replied with scorn, "You're nothing but a lout- I can't waste my time with the likes of you!"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 20 hours ago
*"Splendor"* One day it's the clouds, one day the mountains. One day the latest bloom of roses- the pure monochromes, the dazzling hybrids- inspiration for the cathedral's round windows. Every now and then there's the splendor of thought: the singular idea and its brilliant retinue- words, cadence, point of view, little gold arrows flitting between the lines. And too the splendor of no thought at all: hands lying calmly in the lap, or swinging a six iron with effortless tempo. More often than not splendor is the star we orbit without a second thought, especially as it arrives and de... more »
