Reason May Not Lead To Rationality

Unknown at The Verma Report - 4 hours ago
The Enlightenment of the 18th century has created a class of modern philosophers whose view of man is based on the idea that reason is the only tool by which man can gain knowledge and learn to lead a moral and happy life. But from the study of the life of these philosophers we find that, in spite of their faith in reason, their philosophical ideas are flawed, and their life has been tainted by unhappiness and episodes of immorality. Therefore, I think, it is logical to draw the conclusion that reason is not always an accurate guide for arriving at accurate information and making r... more »

South Africa: They Built Nuclear Weapons and Then Gave Them Up. Why?

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Key Point: The Republic of South Africa is the only country in the world to build a nuclear weapons program, then unbuild that program after domestic and international conditions changed. Key Point: The Republic of South Africa is the only country in the world to build a nuclear weapons program, then unbuild that program after domestic and international conditions changed. Why did South Africa decide to build nukes, how did it build them and why did it decide to give them up? The answers are largely idiosyncratic, although they may hold some lessons ... more »

Underwater Rifles: Is War Beneath the Seas Coming to a Shoreline Near You?

Charlie Gao at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* New era of warfare *Key point: *Maybe not yet. Until recently, underwater firearms have been niche designs that were limited to the underwater role. Due to the effects of water on conventional firearms, most conventional firearms either cannot be fired safely, do not function properly or have a laughably small effective range when fired underwater. Early designs for underwater firearms were incredibly cumbersome, using massive magazines loaded with steel darts. Said rifles were limited to underwater use, as they had an effective range of fewe... more »

Could Africa Be the Next Financial Frontier?

Talal Belrhiti at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Talal Belrhiti* *economy, Africa* [image: Reuters] The Demoratic Republic of Congo is ready to capitalize on the opportunities created by the U.S.-China trade war. Africa’s story since independence has been one of dashed hopes. Nowhere has that been more evident than in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is experiencing its first ever peaceful transition of power. After almost eight months of negotiations, Joseph Kabila, president from 2001 to 2018, and Felix Tshisekedi, who was elected in December 2018, have agreed upon a power-sharing government. The DRC is the largest co... more »

Is a U.S.-China Trade Deal Possible?

Riley Walters at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Riley Walters* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Washington and Beijing can reach a deal, but only if both sides take a more realistic negotiating position. Small wonder that President Donald Trump has been expressing impatience with the pace of U.S.-China trade talks: Washington and Beijing have been in negotiations for over two years now. The results so far have been an increase in the cost of traded goods between the United States and China—an increase that has created an immeasurable amount of uncertainty in the global economy. And despite efforts by the Trump and Xi admini... more »

Is This Netanyahu's Last Chance at Political Redemption?

Matthew Petti at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Matthew Petti* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history has the odds stacked against him. But he still has a fighting chance of staying in power. Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu is back from the dead. After his Likud Party suffered a devastating defeat in parliamentary elections earlier this month, it looked as if the prime minister was about to be shown the door. But his opponents haven’t been able to put together a coalition—opening up the chance for Netanyahu to seek redemption. The prime minister and cabinet are elected by the... more »

Could this Business Venture Create Peace on the Korean Peninsula?

Lyle J. Goldstein at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Washington should embrace a little-known “free port” proposal for North Korea’s northeastern border that could powerfully demonstrate North Korea’s latent potential for rapid growth. As the Trump administration’s national-security team gets a makeover, specialists interested in exploring diplomatic solutions to the most vexing quandaries in international security are inspired anew. Without John Bolton, the hawks’ favorite hawk, are there new possibilities to explore? Diplomatic overtures to Iran seem unlikely after the Septemb... more »

QUESTION: Does Germany or America Make the Best AR-15?

Charlie Gao at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * The details here. *Key point: *Germany's gun market is a hotbed of innovation. Mention a German take on an AR-15, and most people will imagine the HK416. However, many other German manufacturers have made their own take on the AR platform, from simple clones made by Oberland Arms to Haenel, which makes another variant of the piston-driven AR rifle. But why would German companies want to make yet another take on the AR as opposed to their own rifle? The simplest reason is that the German civilian shooting community wants AR-15s of their own.

Rising Seas Threaten Hundreds of Native American Heritage sites Along Florida’s Gulf Coast

Jayur Mehta, Tara Skipton at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Jayur Mehta, Tara Skipton* *Environment, Americas* [image: Reuters] These places literally embody human lives, and are the only records we have of prehistoric indigenous peoples of the New World. Native North Americans first arrived in Florida approximately 14,550 years ago. Evidence for these stone-tool-wielding, megafauna-hunting peoples can be found at the bottom of numerous limestone freshwater sinkholes in Florida’s Panhandle and along the ancient shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. Specialized archaeologists using scuba gear, remote sensing equipment or submersibles can study... more »

As Trump Becomes Increasingly Toxic Among Independent Voters, GOP Incumbents Will Feel The Pressure To Separate Themselves From Trump
