Public Support For Russian President Putin Continues To Decline
Kremlin.ru *Maxim Trudolyubov, Moscow Times:* *When Trust Fails: How Long Can the Russian State Withstand Waning Public Support?* Putin is no longer immune from responsibility for the economic malaise besetting the country he leads. The Russian public’s trust in the institution of the presidency went down significantly between 2017 and 2019, as did, to a somewhat lesser extent, trust in the Federal Security Service (FSB, successor to the KGB). Trust in the military remains strong. Still, these three agencies, in the order of the presidency, the army, and the security agency, rema... more »
A Lucky Man
Paul Manafort got lucky yesterday. Judge T.S. Ellis sentenced him to four years less a month in jail. Prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 19 to 24 years. But Ellis concluded that Manafort had led, "an otherwise blameless life." Manafort's record suggests otherwise. Matt Stieb writes: Far worse than those criminal actions are his career highlights that were legal — or, at least weren’t under the scope of federal prosecutors. After setting up a lobbying shop with Roger Stone and Charles Black Jr., Manafort took his talents abroad, where he spent decades vouching for authoritar... more »

Does ‘Consciousness’ Exist?

Here’s an excerpt in which James is making the point that consciousness is not a substance: There is… no aboriginal stuff or quality of being, contrasted with that of which material objects are made, out of which our thoughts of them are made; but there is a function in experience which thoughts perform, and for ... more »

The case for tolerance
"A lack of self-awareness comes as a corollary to intolerance. Intolerant people, in their speech and bumperstickers, advertise their tolerance.
