Nasa: The sky is falling

Instead of reaching for the sky Nasa now says it is falling: A new study sponsored by Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center has highlighted the prospect that global industrial civilization could collapse in coming decades due to unsustainable resource exploitation and increasingly unequal wealth distribution. Nasa should dial back the Malthus and realize that they might be correct but not at all in the way they think. Resources will become scarce as powers of production are removed from the people and placed in the hands of those that can create nothing but debt. A situation that will not be resolved by further stealing from the makers to enrich the takers.

Paul Krugman to Leave Princeton in 2015 to Take Role at CUNY

Paul Krugman to Leave Princeton in 2015 to Take Role at CUNY: With such bits of wisdom as claiming the fax machine will be a more trans-formative technology than the Internet and that the best way to end the recession of the early oughts was with the creation of a housing bubble it is little wonder that Krugman could not succeed in the private sector. But now it appears to be much worse than that. The man can’t even succeed in the private college sector.

Kerry to Israel: Blah, blah, blah I used to be John Rambo before I wasn’t John Rambo

Kerry to Israeli critics: I’ve been ‘attacked before by people using real bullets’: Such machismo might be impressive to beltway types and ketchup heiresses with more money than taste but can hardly be impressive to a nation built on the ashes of a Jewish holocaust and facing the existential threat of another one every single day. Kerry would do well to learn this, and if he cannot we imagine there are quite a few members of IDF that would be only too glad to tutor him.

Bill Nye Debates Ken Ham

Bill Nye Debates Ken Ham on evolution and creationism: At some point a real science guy would realize that creationism cannot be properly debated. It is not falsifiable, it is not experimentally verifiable and any evidence held against it may very well be claimed as evidence for it based on extra-natural methods that are beyond our comprehension. This does not make it wrong, it makes it a matter of faith. Of course a real science guy would also see the striking parallel between this and the notion of anthropogenic global warming. It is not falsifiable, it is not experimentally verifiable and any evidence against it is simply (and absurdly) held as evidence for it. This also makes it a matter of faith. Except in this instance they have decided that where a faith in God is inadequate to substantiate beliefs one in Al Gore is infallible.
