“Mirror Neurons: Mirrors In Your Brain”
*“Mirror Neurons: Mirrors In Your Brain”* by Casey Kazan “A recent paradigm-shattering discovery in neuroscience shows how our minds share actions, emotions, and experience -what we commonly call "the monkey see, monkey do" experience. When we see someone laugh, cry, show disgust, or experience pain, in some sense, we share that emotion. When we see someone in distress, we share that distress. When we see a great actor, musician or sportsperson perform at the peak of their abilities, it can feel like we are experiencing just something of what they are experiencing. Only recently, h... read more
"Computational Aspects of the Murder Hornet"
*"Computational Aspects of the Murder Hornet"* An Engineering Overview by Fred Reed "I have long been a partisan of insects in general, and hornets in particular, as exemplars of the most varied, imaginative and sometimes, in a correct use of an overused word, weird design and engineering in the live world. There is more of the unlikely, preposterous, and inexplicable in our six-footed cocitizens than in all the vertebrates combine. By comparison, we humans are a mundane and unimaginative lot. None of this leaps immediately to consciousness. Think of hornets in terms of IT and mech... read more

Legal Education: Does the ABA Respect Rule of Law?
The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions has published some proposed revisions to its accreditation standards. The revisions concern some issues of student and faculty diversity. Most of the proposals won't matter to most law schools, which already do most of the things that would be required: having and publishing a non-discrimination statement; working to broaden access to the legal profession; requiring anti-bias training; and so on. As was likely inevitable, a few things in the proposed revisions don't make much sense. One is this: "A law school shall take effective a... read more
Is a Fourth Stimulus Check on the Horizon? How Soon and Who Would Qualify?
*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus Checks, The Americas* Although millions of Americans still remain unemployed, there’s currently no legislation that’s been put forward outlining a fourth stimulus payment or recurring checks until the pandemic is over. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Biden administration has offered little indication that the president is interested in pursuing additional stimulus payments, though White House press secretary Jen Psaki has said “we’ll see what members of Congress propose” when asked about the chances of more direct aid.

Fourth Stimulus Check? Nope, a Billion Times Over. Sorry.
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus, * The data is in and it could kill a fourth stimulus check. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As for those who are still holding out hope for another round of stimulus checks, know that President Joe Biden had the opportunity to push for it last month before Congress, but he decided not to. Perhaps he was already anticipating such quick mending of the U.S. economy. It appears that cash-strapped Americans can blame the improving U.S. economy for putting the fourth round of coronavirus stimulus checks in jeopardy. The Labor Department reported ear... read more
Native Subsistence Farming And Depression
In the early days of agriculture, everyone was somewhat equal. While one farmer could work harder or longer than another, it wasn't by an order of magnitude. Oxen and other beasts of burden changed that. A farmer with an ox was doing the work of 7 humans, and that meant a huge advantage over someone who didn't agree with progress - that the old ways were the only way to have "real" food. Thus began economic disparity, as did modern civilization. When not everyone had to hunt and grow their own food, they didn't. They could become craftsmen and priests and mathematicians. Culture was... read more

Why Kim Is Gloating About North Korea’s New Ballistic Missile
*Mark Episkopos* *North Korea, Ballistic Missile, Asia* The test launch was met with speculation that the missiles in question could be a North Korean copy of Russia’s Iskander missile system. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Given the inverse relationship between payload weight and range, it is fairly unlikely that Pyongyang’s new missile has both a 2,500-kilogram warhead and a 600-kilogram maximum operating range. This would not be the first time that North Korea exaggerated the performance of its missiles, with the principal goal of pressuring its southern counterpart. No... read more
