Romanticism and Hegel’s Philosophy of Spirit
Portrait of HegelHegel’s philosophy of spirit is connected to the evolutionary perspective on human society that became popular during the age of Romanticism, the counter-Enlightenment movement that swept Europe towards the end of the 18th century.

They were concerned that the belief in science was leading to the establishment of the belief that the world is the action of corpuscles, and can be... more »

The usual suspects are coming up with the same tired old ideas to implement gun control, usually incrementally, so we don't see confiscation creeping up on us. It's a game as old as the hills, and it'll go on as long as the hills are there. One idea being advanced (again) as part of a "Green New Deal for Guns" is a gun buyback program, this time mandatory rather than voluntary. Of course, it's logically nonsensical; how can the government (or anyone else) buy *back* a gun that was never theirs in the first place? However, logic has never stopped a gun-grabber.

Talking to a potential wall
These dialogues look like scenes from Václav Havel's absurd theater plays. Many years ago, however, I experienced one in reality.

But then I was sucked into the second discussion, third discussion of the same format.

No more cardboard boxes? 3M invents an ingenious new way to ship products
Obviously not so good for irregular objects needing protection. Yet it is also true that we can design to these shipping specifics as well. Thus we will see a lot of this system. The real trick is that it does not lock onto the contents. This is an ideal solution for shipping books which always demand costly box protection which is never perfect. It is also not so hard to design protective forms as well from pressed fibers to apply before sealing. All this supports a superior packing protocol . *No more cardboard boxes? 3M invents an ingenious new way to ship products* * T... more »

Is Asperger's syndrome the next stage of human evolution?
I do think that Asperger's Syndrome has been conflated with a broadly developed autism spectrum of symptoms in quite the same way we can dig out a hundred reports conforming to the Giant Sloth Meme in thousands of Big Foot reports.

That is why we have a rise in autism cases associated with negative reactions to the injection of foreign substances in our blood... more »

*[image: Moses crossing the Red Sea. Source: Davy Cheng / Adobe Stock.]* The unusual story of Moses does fit neatly into the deeply obscured story of Hatshepsut.

This led to a serious upheaval in Egypt for which he was certainly blamed.. Yet he also was then an old man already.
