"Figuring Forward in an Uncertain Universe"
*"Figuring Forward in an Uncertain Universe"* by Maria Popova "We make things and seed them into the world, never fully knowing - often never knowing at all - whom they will reach and how they will blossom in other hearts, how their meaning will unfold in contexts we never imagined. (W.S. Merwin captured this poignantly in the final lines of his gorgeous poem “Berryman.”) Today I offer something a little apart from the usual, or sidelong rather, amid these unusual times: A couple of days ago, I received a moving note from a woman who had read "Figuring" and found herself revisiting... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Let this twisted evil little psychopath be King. Yes, I said it. Let him be da King. Let him roam around wearing his crown to cover up his freakshow hair. Let him roam around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in his gold chains and velvet bathrobes with his plastic wife and plastic daughter-wife and his braindead sons. Let him command all his freakshow aides like Stephen Miller, Larry Kudlow, and Kellyanne. Let him snort all the crushed Adderall and roam around sniffling and mumbling to himself. Let him do it all. Just seal off the White House from the outside world. Seal them al... more »

Coronavirus Proves That the Pursuit of Happiness Matters
*Christopher Beem* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Communitarians agreed with Aristotle’s famous phrase: Humans beings are “political animals.” In other words, society is more than just a collection of individuals. At its core, the United States Declaration of Independence argues that all human beings have “unalienable rights.” These include right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” These rights apply to all human beings, and cannot be given away. What is more, the Declaration says that “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.” In other w... more »
Japan's New Mach 5 Carrier-Killer Missile Is A Direct Response To China
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* China isn't the only one with anti-ship missiles. *Key point:* Japan’s hypersonic missile is a direct response to China’s years-long campaign of maritime land-grabs and fortress-construction in the South and East China Seas. The Japanese military is considering developing a hypersonic anti-ship missile with a special warhead for penetrating the decks of Chinese aircraft carriers. Japan's defense ministry is developing what it calls a “hypervelocity gliding projectile," or HVGP, for deployment on island bases starting in 2026. The Japanese weapon’s ... more »
Yes, There Are Some Positives to Take Away From Coronavirus
*Charles Foster* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Here are 8 things to take away from the viral outbreak. To be clear, and in the hope of heading off some trolls, I would like to make two observations. First, of course I don’t welcome the epidemic. It will cause death, worry, inconvenience and great physical and economic suffering. Lives and livelihoods will be destroyed. The burden will fall disproportionately on the old, the weak and the poor. And second, these suggestions are rather trite. They should be obvious to reasonably reflective people of average moral sensibil... more »
After Billions Spent On The Failed RAH-66 Comanche, The Army Still Dreams Of A Scout Helicopter
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The Comanche, in theory, might have been an awesome-looking helicopter—but that did not make it any less of a poorly managed defense program. *Key Point:* Stealth is much more of a “trump card” for a high and fast-flying jet plane than a helicopter flying at a fraction of the speed at low altitude. Pop quiz: what prominent U.S. military aircraft has a stealthy radar cross section and advanced networked sensors but has gone billions over budget and has fallen years behind schedule? While the F-35 stealth fighter might come to mind today, in 2004 th... more »
Japan's Fight At Coral Sea Proves That Winning A Battle Won't Always Win a War
*Michael D. Hull* *History, Asia* By her sacrifice, the Lexington had deprived the enemy of two carriers just before the Battle of Midway, which turned the tide in the Pacific naval war and sealed the fate of the Japanese Empire. *Key Point:* Hard lessons were learned by both sides in the Coral Sea. Responding to a November 27, 1941, war warning message from Admiral Harold R. “Betty” Stark, chief of naval operations, America’s prized handful of aircraft carriers were fortuitously absent from Pearl Harbor when Japanese planes savaged the Pacific Fleet on Sunday, December 7. The U... more »
The F-22 Raptor's True Purpose Will Be Defined In The 21st Century
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* There are new enemies to fight. *Key point:* The international system is unpredictable, but the window of the Raptor’s dominance does not appear to be closing. The F-22 has been the world’s most formidable air superiority fighter since it first entered service in 2005. Although the Raptor has yet to kill a target in anger, aviation specialists almost unanimously agree that it can outclass any opponent, foreign or domestic. The only hard limitation on its ability to kill appears to be the number of missiles that it can carry. But what if the F... more »
America Is Getting A Close Look At Iran's Qiam Missiles (Whether It Wanted To Or Not)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Middle East* Since 2017, Iran began using its ballistic missile force to retaliate against attacks by its regional adversaries. *Key point: *The Qiam was assessed as landing on average within 500 meters of a target—an improvement over some earlier missiles, but well short of a ‘precision strike’ weapon. For thirty intense minutes at 1:30 AM local time, the skies over Iraq were lit by streaks of fiery light as at least sixteen ballistic missiles streaked from launch sites in Iran (video here) to target two military bases in Iraq occupied by Iraqi, ... more »

People who suspect they may have come into contact with the coronavirus are being advised to self-isolate (stay at home) for 14 days. For some people, the idea of self-isolation may seem like a dream come true. For others, the idea of being cut off from the outside world, alone or with only a few close family members, will fill them with dread – ask any parent who has had to entertain two small children at home on a wet afternoon.

It’s Scary How Close the Nazis Came to Invading Great Britain
*David Axe* *History, * Why did Hitler call it off? Reeling under combined assault from German land and air forces, in late May and early June 1940 the British Army evacuated France. As many as 338,000 British and allied troops got off the beach at Dunkirk. But they left behind 2,300 artillery pieces, 500 anti-tank guns, 600 tanks and 64,000 other vehicles — around half of the British Army’s entire inventory of heavy weaponry. For the next year, the army was all but powerless to defend the British Isles. At least that’s what Adolf Hitler and the rest of the German high command... more »
This Plane Proved That China's PLA Air Force Is Far From Besting America
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* A war game shows where China must improve. *Key Point:* 88 percent of the Thais’ kills occurred at a range of at least 19 miles, while the Chinese scored just 14 percent of their kills at the same range. A 2015 war game in Thailand underscored the enduring flaws in Chinese aerial-warfare tactics. Despite flying a modern fighter type, Chinese fighter pilots in Thailand were vulnerable to long-range attacks and slow to react to aggressive tactics. Exercise Falcon Strike 2015, which ran at Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base for two weeks in mid-November 2... more »
The Surprisingly Easy Way to Spot False Stories and Read News Like a Pro
*Doug Specht, Julio Gimenez* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] A breakdown of the research.

Hope Can Keep You Healthier, Happier and Alive (Especially in the Coronavirus Era)
*Everett Worthington* *Health, Americas* [image: Maggie Ybarra] When there is no hope – when people cannot picture the desired end to their struggles – they lose the motivation to endure. Hope can erode when we perceive threats to our way of life, and these days, plenty are out there. As we age, we may struggle with a tragic loss or chronic disease. As we watch the news, we see our political system polarized, hopelessly locked in chaos. The coronavirus spreads wider daily; U.S. markets signaled a lack of hope with a Dow Jones free fall. Losing hope sometimes leads to suicide. W... more »
The Real Question Coronavirus Hell Should Have Us All Asking
*Daniel R. DePetris* *economy, * Let the coronavirus infections now ravaging America serve as a wake-up call to the lawmakers of both parties in Washington, D.C. who appropriate the funds and the policymakers who administer them: if you don’t find the time to prioritize issues on the home-front or leave domestic agencies like the CDC underfunded, the nation will eventually pay for it. With cases now above 7,000 restaurants, bars, and entertainment establishments in America’s biggest cities closing for the foreseeable future, and the Trump administration eyeing a financial relief... more »
Zap Zap: The Navy Will Soon Have Megawatt Laser Cannons on Its Warships
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_TM3EACB0NQC01&share=true] Sci-fi is now real life. *Key point: *These lasers will help take out drones and missiles. After a lot of tests, the military hopes for them to become widespread. The U.S. Navy on Oct. 17, 2019 began shipping a powerful new laser weapon from a Northrop Grumman facility in Redondo Beach, California to a Navy base in San Diego. *This article first appeared in 2019 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* The War Zone was the first to re... more »
