Has The Fanaticism Of Militant Athreists Stigmatized Atheism Again by Ian R Thorpe.
Not long ago, even though the nation had largely abandoned churchgoing, to describe oneself as an atheist carried a certain stigma. In the nineteen eighties and nineties that receded however as regular worshippers in Britain comprised just 6% of the population. Now however, thanks to militant atheism, the stigma is on the way back.
"No, I'm not Church of England,"
"Christian?" The question was hopeful rather than expectant. Obviously this problem had arisen before.
"No, nothing, put none or not applicable." The clerk was nonplussed. "You're ģ umm ... ah ... a woss'name ģ an atheist, then? Shall I put atheist?"
"No, atheist is not a religion, Just put down 'none', or 'no religion'," I said.(This is before The Church of Scienceology was founded and claimed all non believers for it's congregation, even those as sceptical about science as they are about God.
The man who was given authority by his clipboard pronounced the word atheist with scorn as if an atheist was some kind of inferior being but he could not see that one might not be an atheist but simultaneously not a member of any religion. Because most people of my generation were baptised in the Church of England, Methodist, Presbyterian or Catholic faith the easy way out was to stick with that even if baptism was the last time a person had been to church. Atheists were stigmaitsed as outsiders, people who had made a conscious choice to stand outside the mainstream.
I have never liked the term atheist. It may have been Jonathan Miller's argument that non-belief in God is a narrow and entirely negative self-description that ignores all the other things you might either believe in or not, from homeopathy through necromancy to the Gaia theory. As a non believer I am sceptical about many things, not just the God of Abraham. But I am not dismissive of many things, if I wanted to be an atheist I would be a polytheistic atheist and not believe in thousands of gods; in fact I am not sceptical about Hindu and Pagan gods because both those systems have an entirely different concept of the divine that does not require followers to externalise and anthropomorphise divinities and such god are non interventionist.
Atheist is an inadequate guide to the to our spirituality. We have available far more eloquent ways of expressing in a word or phrase the moral compass that guides our behaviour and beliefs.
After a prolonged discussion which made me late for my appointment, rat face only relented when a nurse came from the surgery to see had I arrived. When the situation was explained she told tatty-trousers that stating a religion was not a priority day patients and dragged me away.
Years later the social atmosphere had changed. During a much longer stay in hospital I was visited by the ward chaplain. He hovered outside my room and coughed nervously to attract my attention before knocking and being invited in. He looked around as if checking for booby traps.
Was there a note on my record; "homicidally deranged atheist, approach with care."
But no, after he introduced himself and being invited to sit down and pour himself a glass of Apple and Mango juice. I told him I was not religious and we had a good chat about life, the state of the nation, hospital food and the books on my bedside cabinet, several of which he had read ... and of course my lack of religion as opposed to atheism.
After about half an hour he took his leave, shaking my hand and thanking me for talking. "You know", he said, "so many people put down "Church of England" but will not even talk to me. It's as if they are ashamed to say they have no religion. You have clearly thought deeply about things so it has been a pleasure to met someone who has a well formed idea of who he is."
I'd never thought of it like that.
Another day I was in the common rooms when a Catholic priest came in, he went to each inmate the duty nurse had identified as Catholic and had an identical conversation with each "How are you feeling? I don't want to disturb you when you're needing rest. It's good that you're feeling more your old self, so the nurses tell me. I'll be off now and leave you to your tea, they'll be round in a few minutes.
That was more or less what he said to each man. They nodded in return, and then the priest backed away.
Of all the people who came near our beds in any official capacity, the clergy were the most deferential and anxious not to intrude. What you might call the carer-patient discourse in a British hospital is conducted in a tone of ribald familiarity. You hear all kinds of surprising things, a buxom Lancashire lass will put her arm around an elderly Muslim and tell him to "Cough it up, Abdul love, it's better out than in." An equally young woman doctor, a specialist endocrinologist, of high caste and good Indian parentage once asked me as almost the first question if I had any problems getting an erection.
"I've ben more dead than alive for the past few months, it isn't really sometrhing I've thought about." I replied not wanting to tell her my red haired physiotherapist, while standing with her thighs wraped round my left leg as she firmly pushed my shoulder upwards. The physio told me she was trying to get elongation in my deltoids. She was getting elongation lower down.
The doctor, Vikki, said "Do you get the morning glory, that would prove everything was in working order".She might have stepped out of a 1960 low budget comedy film, Carry On Nurse or something. Priests and vicars seemed to have no clue about how to introduce their speciality, the most embarrassing topic of all. God.
The unit I was doing rehab in did not just take stroke survivors. We had all sorts including many people whose problems had been caused in part at least by smoking. After the unit's smoking ban was raised as a human rights issure (before I was there, the nurses told me,) a conservatory had ben built for use as a smoking room.
Most of the emphysema, thrombosis and generally gummed up lungs and arteries people's breathing sounded like a battered old accordion tuning up. Even so, right after breakfast they would disappear en masse to the conservatory where they could light up. And these were people who needed to have a bottle of oxygen fixed to their wheelchairs and spent a couple of hours a day on nebulizers.
"You've just got to co-operate and stop smoking, otherwise you're going to be in hospital until you die," I overheard the consultant telling one man. It is a prognosis nobody who has tasted hospital food wants to hear. They guy whose lungs were failing faster than a dunk on a driving test told his fellow patients however, " (wheeeeeze)All that being told not to smoke (cough cough) just make me smoke more (gasp, wheeze): It's the stress you see, they gets me all wound up."
There was an idea among the smokers that the hospital was paid for everyone they persuaded to stop smoking." They may have ben right, we have not dug down to anything like the bottom of the Labour government's dodgy dealing with big pharma yet.
The fact is the hospital was rewarded for survival rates so their incentive was to get people discharged in a state that would allow them to survive three months. Statistically this was a successful outcome for the hospital . What hospital managers, staff, polticians and academics seem unable to understand however is that people are not afraid of death. Surviving a few extra months is not seen as a goal worth giving up a pleasure or addiction for. And if anyone tries to play the God card to scare committed smokers they will be told if God had not wanted us to smoke he would not have given us tobacco.
It is ironic that the non believers like me and the never-thought-about-it types like that old smoker are far more open minded about religion than the science worshipping militant atheists who lay claim to open mindedness but are really as tunnel visioned as the most fanatical religious fundamentalist. The non academic, non religious mass tend to be far more existentialist in their outlook than the so called rationalists. While the science fans try to find the meaning of life, explain the workings of the universe and conquer death the truly enlightened know that we all make our choices and must live with the consequences, what will happen will happen and in the end there is only one outcome which neither prayer nor science will change. The attitude of those working class fellow patients is that God will do as he pleases if indeed there is a God and a judgement. And though they have never heard of Pascal's wager they know that there is nothing to be gained by declaring for atheism and always the chance the atheists are wrong. So when life ceases to be of any value to them there is no point giving up the few pleasures they have left to delay an inevitable event they do not fear or dread.
The truly strange thing is while the monomaniacal rambling of writers like Dawkins, Dennett and Hitchens have established cult like followings among the younger professional classes, the university educated rationalist intellectual bullies who call themselves "progressive liberals" they have made the bulk of the population regard atheists as shrill, illiberal anti - religionism. A large part of this is due to the abandonment of the renaissance education in favour of a "scientific" education that demands specialisation at far too early a stage. My generation were equipped to examine the opposing cases and form our own opinions. Today's science infatuated "secular humanists" seem only able to repeat the dogmas handed down to them by the hierarchy of the academic priesthood. This has marked them as intolerant, self righteous and blinkered, they are not prepared to entertain any ideas that fall outside the narrow scope of "scientific thinking."
The Infllibility Of Science, The Divility Of Jesus And A Pope
When a question about why so many seemingly rational people accept the idea of Jesus's divinity was posted at a site I use a very lively thread developed. Strangely it was not the Christians who were pedantic and resisdtant to new ideas but people who claim they are atheists and agnostics.
Dr. Pangloss Said All Is For The Best Ever been irritated all those exhortations to "look on the bright side"and "be positive" Felt let down by hopey-changey stuff and people who say "lets join hands and sing kumbiya to create utopia" but fail to deliver. This article might be just what you need to read
Reincarnation: Is There Scientific Proof We Can Live Again? by Ian R Thorpe.
What happens to us after death? It is a question humans have asked since men first stood erect (fnrr, fnrr). Is there scientific proof of reincarnation or are such things just superstitious delusions? All the main religions and there many branches believe something of us survives physical death but is ir possible the non phyical portion of our being (the soul?) can inhabit more than one physical body? Might there be scientific proof of reincarnation?
Principled Agnosticism Principled Agnosticism, a phrase coined by UK writer Madeline Bunting offer a path between absolute faith and absolute atheism of the militant, science worshipping kind.
Theosophy For Beginners Those two old friends of Greenteth Multi Media, Philo and Sophia, are dedicated to spreading wisdom and understanding. It's natural then that their page here should include a sub menu on Theosophy, an almost forgotten belief system now although it was only founded in the nineteenth century. Theosophy is based on the ideas of Helena Blavatsky and while it drawns on the ancient wisom found in Hindu, Budhist and Zoroastrian teachings it is fully compatible with Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox versions of Christianity as well as Jewish and Muslim beliefs.
The War Between Science and Religion
When cosmologist Martin Rees was awarded the Templeton Prize for scientific work enhancing the spiritual side of life the militant atheists reacted with predicatable angry intolderance. Their intolerant attitude seems to have done more to harm the scientific community than to turn paople against faith and religion.
Are The Cultural Poles FlippingReligion and Science (which some people have turned into their religion) have failed to provide the certainties, the sense of security, that many people seek. First religious convicion was eroded by science and then faith in science collapsed when it's certainties dod not stand up to the logical tests of the real world. Can existentialims offer a third way or is its acceptance of uncertainty to challenging?
The Flight From FreedomFleeing from freedom seems like a contradiction, after all we usually asdsiciate flight with escaping from captivity. In this first part of Existentialism for Beginners however the author identifies a human instinct that predisposes us to seek illusory safety by conforming and being part of the crowd rather than embarking on the lonely life of the free thinker, the person who truly makes their own decisions and follows their own path.
The Abuses Of Science With science evangelists increasingly on the back foot as more and more "breakthroughs" are exposed as fraud at worst and hyperbolic self publicizing at best Mary Midgely argues that where scientits went wrong was in denying that science has limitations that render it unsuitable to answer the questions raised by philosophers.
The Power Of Positive.
There are many cod philosophies based on positive thinking. But when does positive thinking stop and self delusion start. Are the positive addicts really trying to help with their positive thinking tips or are they really just trying to share their addiction and draw you into their bubble of unreality. Ian R Thorpe bursts the positive thinking bubble...
Atheists Miss The BusThere have been concerns recently among mainstream atheists, non-theists and non specific non belieers that while we can get along with people who make religion a part of their lives for whatever reason, the mititant type of atheism being promoted by a clique consisting mostly of London based media type and academics in the sciences is attacking that mutual tolerance that has existed between followers of moderate faiths and people who choose to reject faith. An example of the way these atheists are trying to turn non-belief into a religion is summed up in their decision to put advertisments on London buses stating "There is probable no God, now stop worrying and enjoy your lives. The idiotic arrogance of the assumptions behind that line are gobsmacking.
Our Debt To Islam In the dark ages the light of wisdom was almost extinguished in Europe and North Africa by the religious fanaticism of Christians. Read how the scientific knowledge accumulated by ancient civilisations in India, the Middle East and around the Mediterranean Sea was kept alive in the Islamic world and retransmiited to Europe through the independence of Christian monastic orders.

US-Created System In Iraq Is Collapsing: Protesters Storm Parliament
Less than two years ago, the US set up a puppet government in the mid-east state of Iraq when, following US pressure, on August 14, 2014 then prime minister al-Maliki agreed to stepped down and be replaced with Haider al-Abadi. Today, the regime is in chaos and the system set up by the US is collapsing. Yesterday protesters loyal to popular Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr broke through a security cordon into the Green Zone, home to government buildings
The governments of six European state have announced they will reinstate border controls as the immigration crisis starts to gather momentum once more with the onset of warmer weather.

Obama Admin Denies Saying ŌĆ£No Boots on the GroundŌĆØ in Syria After Saying It 16 Times
This is our second report today that catches Barack Obama and his administration of 'homies' in a blatant lie. The first related to the TTIP trade treaty, this one concerns the decision to deploy American ground troops in Syria, after Obama had repeatedly stated there would never be any US soldiers on the ground in Syria
The Oligarchy Is Tottering - Trump Tramples The Neocons' "False Song Of Globalism"
Donald Trump scares the global establishment as do the anti Federalisation parties in the EU. We take a long and detailed look at why, and exactly what the globalist agenda would have meant for freedom and democracy had people not wonken up and opposed it in vast numbers. Kudos to the Islamic Jihad too, medievalist religious nuts they may be, but they resisted American attempt to impose western consumer culture on them.
... ItŌĆÖs part of a distressing pattern these days of overwrought commentary about popular culture.

Europe Rejects Obama Doctrine - US Exceptionalism Is Not Acceptable
With a backlash against his efforts to bully Britons into voting to remain in the EU pushing the leave campaign into a narrow lead in opinion polls Obama's vistit to Europe last week could hardly be described as a success.

Illegal Immigrants, Bogus Refugees and Jihadist Asylum Seekers - Europes Self Engineered Crisis
For a UK based libertarian site dedicated to promoting the traditional values of personal and national liberty, freedom of speech and thought and democratic rule accoring to the will of the majority, the social and economic disaster that is the consequence of the European Union's 'borderless world' project is a big news topic that will run for years. Here are the Greeneeth team's posts on Europe's Immigrant Crisis and The Islamification Of Europe
US Threat to Businesses Scares EU Members As Summit On Continued Sanctions Nears
Although the US and EU economic santions on Russia in retaliation for Moscow's annexation of Crimea to prevent a genocide of the ethnic Russian majority by the neo Nazi government installed in Kiev after a US engineered coup deposed the elected government, weaker European nations are spooked at the possibility of US retaliation if they do not obey Washington's diktat
Weather Channel Founder Slams Global Warming Fraud
The climate change lobby have been on the back foot for a long time as eminent scientists queued to be next to point out that when real world observations repeatedly contradict data produced by mathematical models run on university computer systems, any credible research team would take a long critical look at their models rather than adjusting the empirical data so it gives the required answer.
Lifelong Feminist Carmen Paglia Slams Hypocrite Hillary Clinton And Her 'Liberal' Supporters
As strong evidence emerges that the New York Democratic Primary election between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was rigged by the Democratic Party Nominations Committee in favour of their preferred candidate Clinton, America's hectoring on other nations on democracy are making it a laughing stock around the world.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 1301790:MV8xNDAxNjk1XzIzMDc4NzMzXzgyQjFCQzI5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1009640] I understand that there are many many people who abuse the system for their own gain. I am 50 years old. I have worked since I was 16, much of the time two and three jobs at a time as I was a single parent. In December of 2009 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, 24 blood clots in various parts of my body, and a severely enlarged heart, after collapsing. This disease is the result of having Rhematic Fever as a child. Last month I finally applied for disability. I can no longer function as a proper employee in my condition. I ***DID*** pay in for 30+ years, even if I am having to get it back about 12 years earlier than anticipated. While I have been attempting to recover, I have had to use food stamps. I despise going to the grocery store because of people like the OP, who ASSUME I am trying to take advantage of the system. Please tell me how anyone could simply look at me and tell that I have severe heart disease? They see my perpetually swollen body (from the Congestive Heart Failure) and assume I just over eat, and I'm too fat and lazy to work. OP - while I can appreicate your hard work, and toward the abusers and cheats, I can not appreciate your attitude toward the system in general. [u][b]There are those of us who need the help sincerly, and there ARE those of us who paid in our share too. [/b][/u] [/quote] Sadly there are those out there like O *cough* P *cough* who would probably tell you to go get training in something you can still do in your disabled state. Unfortunately, this is the real world and things don't always work like that. [/quote]
Original Message
Man, i'm sick of it. I pay an ungodly amount of taxes, i'm talikn like over $2000 PER FUCKIN MONTH to our government.......and to add insult to injury almost daily i see people (99% of the time minorities)reaping the rewards of my hard work and dedication.
Just yesterday i watched a mexican woman argue with a county clerk about something for 30 minutes. The whole time the mexican lady is standing up. Suddenly she breaks in with, "But i'm on disability!"........really? You can stand up for 30 minutes arguing, but you're disabled? I have laid 1000 feet of tile over 15 hours with pinched nerves in my back. I have shingled school buildings with a broken foot, AND pinched nerves. I have worked 18 hours per day on commercial fishing boats with borderline carpal tunnel, and a bad back.
There's too many jobs i've done injured and broke down to even number, yet i go to the store and see 400 pound, young black men using food stamps for twinkies, and rolls of cash for beer.
I drive down through the East side and see people BBQing at FUCKING midnite. Their kids in diapers waddling through the streets as their folks drink their 'juice' and smoke their ribs. They seem to always have weed, cigarettes, beer, and fastfood to cram in the fatass faces. I never see any of them up before noon. I seriously get happy if i see a black man in a car at 8am on his way to work....but drive around at 2am and they're all over the place. I know they aren't getting up and going to work after BBQing and drinking till sun-up.
Man, this shit has to stop. The ones who work their asses off and save and try and be diligent with their money are the ones who have to raise the ones who are too lazy, dumb, and rude to even try and get a job. They don't have to work cause their 'homey' or 'auntie' or cousin works down at the welfare office and 'has their back' and can 'hook them up'.
I'm ready for doom on this country. I'm ready for these fucking leeches of society to be bitch-slapped with the reality that the free ride is over. I can't wait to watch them flip the fuck out and destroy and loot each other till they start starving to death. Doom is needed to sweep up the trash........

Linux Graphics and Benchmarks
Open-Source AMDGPU Linux Driver Gets Its First Point Release for Mesa 11.2
As you may know, xf86-video-amdgpu is the open-source X.Org driver for GNU/Linux operating system, which has been forked from the open-source xf86-video-ati AMD Radeon graphics driver to support the AMDGPU kernel driver introduced in Linux kernel 4.2.

Mesa 11.0.2 vs. Mesa 11.2-devel Benchmarks On Intel Skylake
For those currently running Ubuntu 15.10 or other similar Linux distributions powered off Mesa 11.0, here are some performance benchmarks comparing that release to the about-to-be-branched Mesa 11.2.
From an Intel Core i5 6600K system I conducted some benchmarks of Mesa 11.0.2 as available by default on Ubuntu 15.10 compared to Mesa 11.2-devel when enabling the Padoka PPA on the same installation with the exact same hardware.
DRI2 vs. DRI3 Benchmarks With Intel Skylake HD Graphics 530
While DRI3 appears to be in good shape with the latest X.Org Server series and Direct Rendering Infrastructure 3 is even mandated by the Intel Mesa Vulkan driver, DRI2 is still the default with the xf86-video-intel DDX driver, similar to the situation in the Radeon DDX driver as well.
For those wondering about the performance impact of enabling DRI3 rather than using the default DRI2, there are some benchmarks in this article of DRI2 vs. DRI3 rendering using an Intel Core i5 6600K "Skylake" system with HD Graphics 530. Besides potentially faster performance and being a requirement for the Intel Vulkan driver on X11, DRI3 can reduce tearing and provide other benefits too.

KaOS 2016.06 Moves the Distro to Linux Kernel 4.6, Adds Full-Disk Encryption
The developers of the KaOS Linux operating system have had the great pleasure of announcing the release and immediate availability for download of the KaOS 2016.06 ISO image with some very exciting goodies. First and foremost, the devs have decided to move the distribution from the long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel series to Linux kernel 4.6, which makes it possible to fully automate the early microcode update. Furthermore, the default desktop environment has been migrated to the Beta of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.7.
Tiny Core Linux 7.2 Enters Development, First Release Candidate Is Out Now

Huawei CEO: Will keep using Android as long as it's open
He made the said comment in a Weibo post, where-in he also noted that Google's mobile OS has promoted the development of smartphones, which in turn has benefited consumers. Interestingly, he didn't say anything about whether or not Huawei is developing an in-house mobile OS - said to be called Kirin OS. His silence on the matter, though, can be taken as a confirmation of sorts, especially when his comment reflects the possibility of Google restricting the companies' freedom with Android in future.

The Beeb plans personalised music service called MyBBCRadio
The BBC is to give listeners more control over what they listen to on the radio.
It plans to launch a service, dubbed MyBBCRadio, that combines services like podcast and the BBC Radio Player so that listeners can customise content.
The service will be part of a larger program called iPlayer, which will offer 7 days of BBC TV on demand.
Mark Thompson, the BBC's director general, released details of MyBBCRadio at the Radio Festival in Cambridge, saying that the BBC would try to share the ideas with the commercial sector.
MyBBCRadio will use P2P technology to let people share what they're listening to.
The new service will also track what listeners like to suggest similar music tracks and other content.
A BBC radio spokesperson said to ITWeek, "It is not a new product as such, it is a project that's bringing together lots of the stuff that radio and music interactive are working on at the moment across all new platforms".

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but since his "mascot" pokemon appears to Magneton, even in the anime, the evolution sequence of Magnemite to Magneton in the anime involves three Magnemite coming together to form the Magneton. If I remember properly, plasma involves atoms separating...the specifics I am not sure of. XP
Maybe Corless's Magneton is capable of splitting apart into three Magnemite (not in-game, of course), or signifies "Plasma", as Ghetsis's plan is not the true intention of Team Plasma?
Corless, being the new leader of the Old Team Plasma, may possibly be stated that he is the leader of a team who's intention is/was to release Pokemon rather than to battle. This plan also represents Plasma - separating Pokemon from Humans, if that even makes sense in an analogy to real plasma.
All of this may have already been covered here or is too much a stretch. Either way, just felt like getting the words out of my mind and onto the computer. :3

It Cost '$5,000 to Change a Light Bulb' at University of Illinois
Building Energy Experts just completed an LED lighting and control retrofit of the 18,000-sq-ft Student Recreation Facility for The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). The project will save the building an estimated $20,000 per year in energy costs as well as extraordinary savings in reduced labor costs.
The building's unique architectural details made the project very challenging because the lobby ceiling fixtures are 75 feet up, requiring a specialized man lift at a rental cost of $5,000.00 per day.

falling apart after only a few days,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Happy Feet - Black and White - Slippers (Apparel)
for whatever reason, my feet get very cold, and I was glad to find some warm slippers. After gentle use around the house, it took only three days for these slippers to begin literally falling apart at the seams. First the rear label tag came off, as if no thread was even holding it. I really don't see how these could withstand machine wash. Out of fairness, perhaps I just got a bad pair. Also, if you do decide to order these, the sizing chart is all wrong... I wear 8.5 men's US... the size range for the pair I ordered, said up to 9.5...there's no way even a 9 could wear the ones I got, so order a size larger than you think you'll need. I'll be looking for a different brand.
UPDATE: first pair had ripped seams with gentle occasional use even before the first full week. The pair I ordered were Large, supposedly for up to 9.5 men's. So I just ordered a x-large, to give them a second chance, which is supposed to be good for up to 11.5 men's.... I have a 8.5 men's foot, and I cannot even get my foot in these slippers. Comparing the two, the sole length between the large and xlarge is barely a cm larger. Their size chart needs updated. Returning the slippers and not giving them another chance.
UPDATE: If you don't like these slippers, you'll have to pay for the shipping to send them back.
UPDATE: Cost nearly half the price of the product to ship them back for a refund - I guess half is better than nothing. Encouraged them to update their size chart, again. They asserted that size accounted for only .005% of their returns and suggested that maybe width and the unique shape of each foot must be to blame while ignoring the fact that my 8.5 foot didn't fit the length of the XL slippers, supposedly good for a much much larger foot. No effort was made to replace or send a larger size, just a form 'sorry' email.
Disappointing - the return policy on Amazon distributed products has me spoiled I guess - with only a .005% return due to size, it wouldn't hurt Happy Feet to make an effort to be more consistent with Amazon's unprecedented policies regarding satisfaction and returns. Some are more deserving than others to have the privilege of wielding the Amazon Seller banner.

Same thing happened to me!! I had to go through my CC bank to get my refund. I came here to leave a 1 star reviews to warn others away and today I got a call from Pat threatening that "things would get worse" for me if I didn't remove my 1 star reviews! I reported them to Amazon. I can't believe the gall of this company!

Clare and the Reasons
(Frog Stand)
US: 20 Oct 2009
UK: 20 Oct 2009
Arrow shoots into the heart with spritely voiced Clare Manchon at the bow. Her husband, Olivier, collaborates with her as well as a cast of characters that includes members of the National, Beirut, and My Brightest Diamond. The various instrumentation (cellos, violins, kazoos, saws, recorders, etc.) does not sound cluttered; instead, it combines a set of precise arrangements and enveloping lyrics. Manchon's sweet and lofty vocals charm the listener with a blend of chamber pop and twee. With lyrics like, "We've got all the wine / The weather's fine" and "I've got a feeling I'm not missing a thing", "All the Wine" intoxicates. An excellent cover of Genesis' "That's All" is sure to please, as the tuba provides the bassline and brings a certain humor to the song.

Dr. Stephanie Page at the University of Washington talks about why male birth control matters.
The Centers for Disease Control declared June 13 to 19 of 2016 as "National Men's Health Week." If it was Women's Health Week, media experts would be talking a lot about sexual health and, especially, how women can safeguard against ill-timed or unwanted pregnancy. But for guys, pregnancy prevention is not even on the list, which instead emphasizes sleep, tobacco, food choices, and exercise.
Almost a year ago now, while reading an article by the historian Yuval Harari in the British newspaper The Guardian, I had a visceral experience of what it means to live in the Anthropocene. Harari's piece was about the horrors of industrial meat production, and as evidence of the scale of the monstrosity, he listed a set of facts that I had either not known, or had never taken the time to fully contemplate.
The shootings at the Pulse club in Orlando highlight once more just how far we humans need to go in the evolution of our ethics. People on all sides have already weighed in on how their particular way of seeing the world would have prevented the crime. Almost immediately they began talking past each other with little or no effort to hear the other side.
Seneca was a wealthy Roman stoic and advisor to the emperor Nero. In the third of his Letters from a Stoic, entitled 'On True and False Friendship', he makes the following observation:
As to yourself, although you should live in such a way that you trust your own self with nothing which you could not entrust even to your own enemy, yet, since certain matters occur which convention keeps secret, you should share with a friend at least all your worries and reflections.

La rentrée des classes en France a été particulièrement médiatisée cette année, notamment à cause de la hausse des effectifs scolaires. Mais avant même que les suppressions de postes et leurs conséquences n'eurent atteint les médias nationaux, une toute autre polémique, concernant le contenu des nouveaux programmes de SVT, avait déjà occupé le paysage médiatique et crée un débat sociétal assez peu commun.
I corresponded with an old friend yesterday who was communicating the tedium of his work as a software engineer. He is thankful that he earns a six-figure salary, and he understands that most people in the world would happily trade places with him, but that doesn't change the fact that a future filled with a lifetime of coding doesn't excite his probing and restless mind. Minds like his need stimulation, and they could contribute so much to the rest of us if they were freed to follow their interests . Moreover, while technology companies pay some of the best wages in the United States, they expect more than 40 hours of work in return, which leaves my friend with less time with his children than he would like.
NOTE: This is a guest post by Iason Gabriel from St. John's College Oxford. I recently did a series on Iason's excellent article 'Effective Altruism and its Critics'. In this post, Iason develops his counterfactual critique of effective altruism. Be sure to check out more of Iason's work on his academia page.)
When machines take all the jobs that people need to find new meaning in life. This could be for the company, according to John Danaher both curse and blessing.
Full Story...
(Part one; part two; part three)
This is going to be my final post on the topic of effective altruism (for the time being anyway). I'm working my way through the arguments in Iason Gabriel's article 'Effective Altruism and its Critics'. Once I finish, Iason has kindly agreed to post a follow-up piece which develops some of his views.
(Part One; Part Two)
After a long hiatus, I am finally going to complete my series of posts about Iason Gabriel's article 'Effective Altruism and its Critics' (changed from the original title 'What's wrong with effective altruism?). I'm pleased to say that once I finish the series I am also going to post a response by Iason himself which follows up on some of the arguments in his paper. Let me start today, however, by recapping some of the material from previous entries and setting the stage for this one.
Here is a new paper that John Danaher, IEET Affiliate Scholar, has published and will be coming out in the journal Ethics and Information Technology. In case you are interested, the idea for this paper originated in this blogpost from late 2014.
Despite decades of progress, racism and bigotry are still prevalent in the United States. Often, they even dominate the news in American media, like during the Baltimore riots or the Ferguson shooting. Movements like Black Lives Matter remind us that the society we live in still has many biases to be fought against, but that good work can be done to combat bigotry if people unite against it.
I don't like the word capitalism, but not because I'm against the free market. Open trade and markets provide wealth and raise the standard of living for the majority of people in democratic societies. Free markets also allow the exchange of ideas and innovations without the meddling of governments or religion.
Moogfest will feature a keynote address from IEET Trustee Martine Rothblatt, a transgender woman who is the chief executive of United Therapeutics, a biotechnology company, and a founder of Sirius Satellite Radio, now SiriusXM. United Therapeutics has an office and manufacturing facility outside of Durham.
I read an interesting article this morning titled, "Late-breaking sexism": why younger women aren't excited about electing a woman president." Its main theme is that while women have made great strides, there is still a lot of sexism in the USA, especially the kind that manifests itself in a woman's late twenties and early thirties when the demands of career and family intersect.
A new study by the Pew Research Center spurred a rash of headlines last week about "the dying middle class." But the word "dying" might be more appropriate if we were watching the regrettable but inevitable effects of natural forces at work. We're not. We're seeing the fruits of deliberate action—and sometimes of deliberate inaction—at the highest levels of power.
PR is essentially the practice of managing the spread of information, and this is a tactical craft. For the PR professional years of experience combine knowledge of pragmatic practice and human intuition to generate desired results, a positive image and receptive message.
Students taking an online course at Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing were duped into thinking one of their teaching assistants, named Jill Watson, was an actual human. And how can you blame them—the virtual TA managed to answer many of their questions with 97 percent certainty.
Abortion continues to make political news, but a question rarely asked by politicians or other interlocutors is: what do professional ethicists think about abortion? If ethicists have reached a consensus about the morality or immorality of abortion, surely their conclusions should be important. And, as a professional ethicist myself, I can tell you that among ethicists it is exceedingly rare to find defenders of the view that abortion is murder. In fact, support for this anti-abortion position, to the extent it exists at all, comes almost exclusively from the small percentage of philosophers who are theists. Yet few seem to take notice of this fact.
I've been interviewed in Panorama, an Italian weekly magazine. (Thanks to Dotwords for the English translation, which I slightly edited.)

The Rules of Employment for The Distinguished Academy of Governesses: Always remember your station; after all, you are higher than the house servants but certainly not a member of the family. Be sure to maintain a disciplined schoolroom and to take your meals on a tray. And Bnever become too familiar with the master of the house...
Lady Charlotte Dalrumple is known as England's most proper governess, a woman who has never taken a misstep socially -- or romantically. So, on the surface, she seems perfectly suited to accept the challenge of reforming English-born Lord Wynter Ruskin, sadly uncivilized by his travels abroad.
But the ruggedly handsome man has no desire to be taught manners. He has glimpsed an uninhibited beauty hiding beneath her prim exterior, and he'd much rather spend his days -- and nights -- instructing her in the ways of love.
And when ardor erupts between them, Charlotte learns the pleasures of desire and Wynter the passions of the heart, but before they can love both must first master the rules of employment.
