"Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Fattery"-- Or Did Wilde Get That Wrong?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 17 hours ago
Luke Savage has a very good question for Jacobin readers this week: Who Will Be the American Justin Trudeau? "With a restless Democratic base leaning left," he wrote, "party centrists are looking for their Justin Trudeau-- a candidate who will seem progressive while preserving the status quo." I offered 4 pretty obvious possibilities in a twitter poll yesterday: The question wasn't who's as good looking as Trudeau, but it was always a neck and neck race between Beto and Kamala anyway. A friend of mine was making fun of Trevor Noah Monday for referring to Julian Castro as "a prog... more »

“We regret our delay:” PLOS ONE retracts two papers

Adam Marcus at Retraction Watch - 17 hours ago
PLOS ONE has retracted two papers for image problems, which we’ve learned were brought to the journal’s attention more than four years ago. The first article came from a group of cancer researchers in China, and it turns out to have a bit more wrong than a few dodgy figures. The second also involved cancer … Continue reading “We regret our delay:” PLOS ONE retracts two papers

There’s No Way Americans Can Evacuate Seoul Before North Korea Demolishes the City

David Axe at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* North Korea probably can level towns and cities faster than America and its allies can clear them of their residents. More than 30 million people including hundreds of thousands of foreigners live within range of North Korea's 13,000 artillery pieces. Artillery barrages in the opening hours of a full-scale war on the Korean peninsula could kill or injure 250,000 people, the U.S. Defense Department estimated. But evacuating the vulnerable population could prove impossible, the California think-tank RAND explained in a January 2019 report. The metropo... more »

Report: North Korea's Hidden Artillery Threatens Tens of Millions of People

By 2020 the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) could possess as many as 100 nuclear warheads, allowing it to pursue war strategies that could hold the Republic of Korea and the United States hostage to the threat of devastating atomic attack.

*Are climate skeptics nuts?* *Psychologists are overwhelmingly Left-leaning so you might expect that claim. In fact, Leftist psychologists have been trying hard to medicalize non-Leftist thinking for around 70 years, with a big push under Marxist theoretician Theodor Adorno in 1950.

On the Relationship Between Religion and Philosophy

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 18 hours ago
The School of Athens, by RaphaelWe learn from the history of last 2500 years that philosophy and religion have mostly marched hand in hand. In the treatises of a good philosophy we usually find some theological components, and a good theological system always reveals some elements of sound philosophy. Almost all the great philosophers of the past, including Aristotle, were religious, they believed in some kind of divinity; some, like Thomas Aquinas, were theologians and had a completely religious worldview. Religion and philosophy are so deeply integrated that whenever a philosoph... more »

[image: Solar gods were worshiped in prehistoric Ireland.] It is a natural conjecture, but Ireland was an anchor point for the Atlantean Global sea trade that reached everywhere and inspired mining and pyramids. All available evidence suggests a veneration of the sun in all their known culture locations. This includes the Americas in paricular. Ireland was also culturally isolated until the advent of Christianity. It could preserve their system until Christianity arrived.

Bicycle Carved 2000 Years Ago - Advanced Ancient Technology Proved?

This video discusses this particular carving that plausibly predates the European invention. That the bicycle was invented in the past is completely reasonable. Certainly we do not see actual pedals and chains. A two wheel bicycle simply kicked along would still be useful and at least a toy for a court.
