In a Feb. 5 appearance on Glenn Beck's talk show — which Beck called "probably the most important podcast perhaps that we've ever done" — self-proclaimed critical race theory expert James Lindsay issued a dire warning. While discussing dark right-wing theories about "The Great Reset" and Democratic-run reeducation camps for the unvaccinated, Lindsay warned that a severe reckoning was at hand for t
Igor Derysh June 3, 2020 3:58PM (UTC) The FBI found no intelligence "indicating Antifa involvement" in violence surrounding Sunday's protest near the White House despite President Donald Trump's attempts to cast blame on radical leftists, according to an FBI situation report obtained by The Nation. An FBI source told the outlet that other situation reports, produced daily by the FBI since the week
This article originally appeared on AlterNet. At first blush, it would seem that an atheist movement would be exactly the sort of thing that would attract many women. After all, much of the oppression of women—from forced veiling to restricting abortion rights—is a direct result of religion. Unsurprisingly, then, feminism has a long tradition of outspoken atheists and religious skeptics within its
Don't think of a rampaging elephant: Linguist George Lakoff explains how the Democrats helped elect Trump Democrats played into Trump's hands, Lakoff says — and they won't win until they learn how to frame the debate George Lakoff didn't start off in the world of politics. He was a founding father of cognitive linguistics, starting with his 1980 book, "Metaphors We Live By" (co-authored with philo
Adapted from "Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise" In 1993 one of us (Anders Ericsson) published the results of a study on a group of violin students in a music academy in Berlin that found that the most accomplished of those students had put in an average of ten thousand hours of practice by the time they were twenty years old. That paper, written with co-authors Ralf Krampe and Cleme
Welcome to the season of the witch. Recently, the Brooklyn Academy of Music hosted a Witches Brew film festival, which included the acclaimed new film “The Witch.” Lately it isn't uncommon to see glossy magazines like Nylon with headlines that start “The Witches' Guide to…”, while new publications like Sabat, an aesthetically driven magazine that explores contemporary witchcraft, are attracting at
“There is no evidence that any amount of homework improves the academic performance of elementary students.” This statement, by homework research guru Harris Cooper, of Duke University, is startling to hear, no matter which side of the homework debate you’re on. Can it be true that the hours of lost playtime, power struggles and tears are all for naught? That millions of families go through a nigh
Famed atheist and of-late-anti-PC crusader Richard Dawkins is again in hot water after retweeting images of a parody book called “The Social Justice Delusion” (a spoof of his best-seller, “The God Delusion”), which was meant to criticize the supposed double-standards of political correctness. Though ostensibly par-for-the-course for Dawkins’ Twitter ethos, the jacket (go figure) featured a QR code
Libertarian superstar Ayn Rand defended Native American genocide: "Racism didn't exist in this country until the liberals brought it up" EXCLUSIVE: New transcript of Rand at West Point in '74 enthusiastically defends extermination of Native Americans Ayn Rand is the patron saint of the libertarian Right. Her writings are quoted in a quasi-religious manner by American reactionaries, cited like Bibl
Salon's Richard Dawkins peace summit: "I am against all religion ... I think I’d call myself a lover of truth. I’m intolerant of bullsh*t" Exclusive: We talk with sparring partner Richard Dawkins about New Atheism, Twitter & why he sees Ahmed as a fraud A while back, I was having some beers with the founder of a small atheist publishing house. I’d recently savaged one of his writers in print, and
(Updated. See below.) Kim Davis -- the Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk who became a conservative celebrity after refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses -- told ABC News Wednesday morning that she had a covert meeting with Pope Francis during his recent visit to the United States in which he urged her to "keep up the fight" and "stay strong." According to Davis, while in Washington D.C. being fe
How we talk about the truth matters. What happened in Charleston, S.C. was a lot of things – a crime, a tragedy, a massacre, a butchery, and, above all, an act of terror. President Obama referred to the South Carolina shootings as “senseless murders.” That was a terrible mistake; it’s not just wrong – it’s dangerous and misleading. Language can obscure as much as it reveals. It’s important, now mo
I get really really tired of hearing the phrase “mental illness” thrown around as a way to avoid saying other terms like “toxic masculinity,” “white supremacy,” “misogyny” or “racism.” We barely know anything about the suspect in the Charleston, South Carolina, atrocity. We certainly don’t have testimony from a mental health professional responsible for his care that he suffered from any specific
This article originally appeared on Religion Dispatches. Israel’s Prime Minister was arguing with the Pope over what language Jesus spoke” sounds like the setup to a weird joke. Which, actually, it is. Lasting just a few seconds, the dustup reflects centuries of attempts to claim Jesus through speech and to transform his native language and original words into sacred linguistic relics. In case you
Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett had never made it past pre-algebra. And then a violent mugging changed everything Excerpted from "Struck By Genius: How a Brain Injury Made Me a Mathematical Marvel" If you could see the world through my eyes, you would know how perfect it is, how much order runs through it, and how much structure is hidden in its tiniest parts. We're so often victims of things—I se
Human beings have always dreamed of flight, the legendary Italian aeronautical engineer Gianni Caproni tells his young Japanese protégé in Hayao Miyazaki’s elegiac and subtle farewell to filmmaking, “The Wind Rises.” But the dream is cursed: Flying machines will inevitably be used, Caproni says, to wage war and slaughter the innocent. Still, he says, he’d rather live in a world with pyramids. The
I’m a nerd. OK, a lot of people say that these days. But I really am. I was hired as a computer programmer for a national laboratory at age 15. I have seen every existing episode of "Doctor Who" (classic and modern). I study orbital dynamics as a hobby. My idea of a good time is sitting down and drawing on that knowledge to imagine a space mission from beginning to end, getting as many details rig
As the commentary around the recent deaths of Nelson Mandela, Amiri Baraka and Pete Seeger made abundantly clear, most of what Americans think they know about capitalism and communism is arrant nonsense. This is not surprising, given our country’s history of Red Scares designed to impress that anti-capitalism is tantamount to treason. In 2014, though, we are too far removed from the Cold War-era t
The writer had a problem. Books he read and people he knew had been warning him that the nation and maybe mankind itself had wandered into a sort of creativity doldrums. Economic growth was slackening. The Internet revolution was less awesome than we had anticipated, and the forward march of innovation, once a cultural constant, had slowed to a crawl. One of the few fields in which we generated lo
Some ideas make you dumber the moment you learn of them. One of those ideas is the concept of “cyberspace.” The term was coined by William Gibson in his novel "Neuromancer" and defined as “a graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system …” As a metaphor that borrows imagery from geography, cyberspace is no different in kind from, say, John F. Kenned
Futurists always get it wrong. Despite the promise of technology, our world looks an awful lot like the past Excerpted from "Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder" Close your eyes and try to imagine your future surroundings in, say, five, 10 or 25 years. Odds are your imagination will produce new things in it, things we call innovation, improvements, killer technologies and other inelegant a
The Israel Defense Forces employed social media to chilling effect today, demonstrating that it is proud to kill those it deems a threat to Israeli citizens. On YouTube it posted video that it says shows the assassination of a high-level target: On Nov. 11, 2012, the IDF targeted Ahmed Jabri, the head of Hamas' military wing, in the Gaza Strip. Jabri was a senior Hamas operative who served in the
People wait in line at the 2011 Maximum Connections Job and Career Fair Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011, in Portland, Ore. (AP/Rick Bowmer) Hey, white people – they're talking about you again! I argued a few weeks ago that Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum might be able to believe they're not singling out black people, or "blah" people, when they rail against food stamps and government "dependency" on the
The Internet has transformed knowledge. An expert explains why it's launched the greatest period in human history The last two decades have completely transformed the way we know. Thanks to the rise of the Internet, information is far more accessible than ever before. It's more connected to other pieces of information and more open to debate. Organizations -- and even governmental projects like D
America's most admired inventor heaps praise on his own drug use, exposing the falsity at the heart of the Drug War (updated below) It's fascinating to juxtapose America's reverence for Steve Jobs' accomplishments and its draconian drug policy with this, from the New York Times' obituary of Jobs: [Jobs] told a reporter that taking LSD was one of the two or three most important things he had done i
Tuesday, Mar 15, 2011 17:37 ET Debunking a viral blog post on the nuke threat An MIT researcher's claim that there was no threat of radiation in Japan was picked up widely, then it fell apart A viral blog post claimed that there was no chance "significant radiation" would be released from damaged reactors in Japan, but despite having been republished widely around the Web, the post has not held up
Sunday, Sep 19, 2010 13:20 ET The perils of false equivalencies and self-proclaimed centrism (updated below) New York Times, Thursday: Jon Stewart announced his much-awaited "big announcement" on Thursday's edition of his late-night program, "The Daily Show." He plans to stage a rally in Washington to counter what he identified as extremists on either side of the political spectrum. . . . He late
Steven Pinker and Rebecca Goldstein, America's brainiest couple, confess that belonging to one of America's most reviled subcultures doesn't mean they believe scientists can explain everything. "I've always been obsessed with the mind-body problem," says philosopher Renee Feuer Himmel. "It's the essential problem of metaphysics, about both the world out there and the world in here." Renee is the
