The Stoic Logos Spermatikos
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
Heraclitus is the first Greek philosopher to use the term “logos” to describe the principle of order and knowledge. The Greek philosophers who followed him have used the term in their own ways. For the Sophists, “logos” is the term for discourse. Aristotle too uses “logos” for discourse, but he calls it “reasoned discourse” or persuasion. But in the hands of the Stoics, the term “logos” acquires a metaphysical overtone—they talk about the *logos spermatikos*, which is the seed logos that pervades all inanimate and animate matter. In human beings, the *logos spermatikos* is the eleme...

US State Dept condemnation of events in Hong Kong – helping or hurting

Over the last year, events in Hong Kong have gone from bad to much worse. A lot of that was a major effort to quell the pro-democratic demands, riots, and demonstrations from those living in Hong Kong. However, at times it appears — at least to my mind — that an endorsement or show of support by the U.S. seems to have given another excuse to lash out and crack down. For instance – After Jimmy Lai, media tycoon and longtime backer of Hong Kong’s struggle for democracy, was arrested in Hong Kong, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted … Continue reading →

Why did the world react so hysterically to covid?
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 18 hours ago
Over the last few months, I've sought to demonstrate that covid is nowhere near as bad as it is portrayed by the mainstream media. I've written about how the mortality rate is below 0,2%, meaning that for most people the risk of dying if you get infected is less than one in 500 (and less than one in 3,000 if you're below 70 years of age). I've also written about how the disease preferentially strikes people who are anyway very close to the end of life, so the amount of lifetime lost when someone dies of the disease is usually small. And I've noted that 2020 will likely turn out to h...

Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 20 hours ago
*Nådens gåva till mänskligheten är en gåva av kärlek, fritt given, fritt mottagen. För när en mor håller sitt kära barn på armen med kärlek och med en hoppfull optimism om att en dag detta barn kommer att växa till en mogen människa med förmågan att skapa ett gott och meningsfullt liv för sig själv och andra, då sker det villkorslöst.* *© **M.N.

Renee Schatteman, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Renee Schatteman* *Health, Africa* Despite differences between the viruses, there is one factor that has played out in tragically similar ways: neglect and misinformation at the highest levels of government. At a time when the U.S. is experiencing one of the worst COVID-19 infection rates among wealthy nations, Americans could take some cautionary lessons from South Africa, the nation that fared the worst during the HIV/AIDS epidemic because of the many stumbles and mistakes of its different governments. Some South African authors, like Phaswane Mpe and Sindiwe Magona, whose w...
To Reduce Marijuana Corruption, Cut Government Regulation
Chris Edwards, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Chris Edwards* *Society, Americas* The problem is not marijuana, but rather that politicians are overregulating and micromanaging the market. Mona Zhang has a good piece on marijuana and political corruption at Politico. She writes: *In the past decade, 15 states have legalized a regulated marijuana market for adults over 21, and another 17 have legalized medical marijuana. But in their rush to limit the numbers of licensed vendors and give local municipalities control of where to locate dispensaries, they created something else: A market for local corruption.* Zhang describes...

Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Eurasia* The Kursk disaster was not only a lesson to Moscow in crisis management but a painful wake-up call concerning the decrepit state of too many Russian military vessels. After twenty years, the *Kursk *disaster remains one of the darkest chapters in Russian Naval history. A nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine, *Kursk *was one of the last Project 949A Antey (better known by its NATO reporting name Oscar II) submarines to be laid down. The Oscar II class is the culmination of late Soviet nuclear submarine design, purpose-built to counter U.S...
Russia Strikes: 5 Critical Lessons from the Sunburst Cyber Attack
Paulo Shakarian, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Paulo Shakarian* *Security, The Americas* An act of cyberwar is usually not like a bomb, which causes immediate, well-understood damage. Rather, it is more like a cancer – it’s slow to detect, difficult to eradicate, and it causes ongoing and significant damage over a long period of time So much remains unknown about what is now being called the Sunburst hack, the cyberattack against U.S. government agencies and corporations. U.S. officials widely believe that Russian state-sponsored hackers are responsible. The attack gave the perpetrators access to numerous key American busin...

A Deeper Morality
Fr. Stephen FREEMAN, OrientalReview.org - 20 hours ago
“Not guilty by reason of insanity.” Such a ruling in a modern court-of-law makes complete sense, even if some would argue that the bar for measuring insanity is rather unclear. It carries with it an understanding that we are not always responsible for our actions. In modern thought, we consider that […]
It's the way the BBC spokesman tells 'em!
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 20 hours ago
*The Mail on Sunday* also adds to the examples we mentioned over New Year of BBC News being chock-a-block with empty glass negativity about Brexit. It adds Simon Jack going on about the "mountain of new paperwork" faced by firms, and a bulletin on the News Channel going on about "bureaucracy" being a consequence of the Brexit deal, and Laura Kuenssberg referring to "extra paperwork" and saying "There is *a very, very, very long list* of new kinds of paperwork that is coming into force for all different kinds of business, whether that is filling in customs forms or doing differe...
