How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen? The moods of Ernest Hemingway.

This article was written back in 1950, when the author was in his prime and had yet to win the Pulitzer or the Nobel which came over the next five years. It gives a glimpse of the man living his life in time and place signing book contracts for hefty advances for the time and place as could be expected. For the past month i have been reading through several of his books and the odd biography as well. Today, everyone is exposed to his writing in high school as a matter of course, and considering his enduring influence on the art, this is as it should be. We all need to learn t... read more

I find it so hard to watch all this come down and to see all the evil appear and to remain helpless.

NY Times: Long Slide Looms for World Population, With Sweeping Ramifications

This all stops cold when our civilization simply decides that all young women must produce four babies before they turn thirty. of course we also end poverty as well and integrate this all economically. This is not a difficult problem to solve. The population will then increase at speed to whatever level satisfies our needs. I do think that will be at least 100,000,000,000 citizens.

Kant: The Spectator of the French Revolution

Kant was supportive of the idea of a French Revolution before 1789, the year when the real French Revolution began.
