On The Origin of Empirical Science
Eric VoegelinThere are philosophers who insist that philosophy determines the course of history, and that politics, science, art, industry, etc., are the applications of philosophical ideas. But there is no evidence to back such a sweeping claim. The research done by the anthropologists show that human beings have gathered much of their knowledge through observation of nature and experience—philosophical knowledge was developed after lot of progress had already been made in other areas of knowledge.

BETO! BETO! BETO!
Early yesterday, Beto did what everyone knew he was going to do: jumped into the presidential race. There's an outstanding moment in the beginning of his announcement video that makes the case for why voters should pick Bernie: "This moment of peril produces, perhaps, the greatest moment of promise for this country and for everyone inside of it." If that "moment of promise" is, for you, based on a policy agenda, Bernie-- and perhaps, Elizabeth Warren are the candidates to get serious about.

Dollar and bond prices plummet. The president threatens to stop Social Security checks. Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling. Default looms.

The New Zealand terror attacks
So it's happened again - this time in one of the most remote, yet friendliest, nations on earth. In two terrorist attacks, it appears that at least 49 people have been killed and another 48 injured. Both totals may rise. The motivation of the terrorist(s) - their numbers are as yet unclear - is easy enough to discern, based on the evidence they left behind. They claimed to be responding to prior acts of terrorism by Muslim fundamentalists. The fact that no such attacks have ever taken place in New Zealand, and that there's no evidence whatsoever that their victims ever espouse... more »
