“A ceasefire as soon as possible, A compromise both sides can accept”
Brian and everyone,
The German open letter offers the simple solution to the Ukraine crisis of “A
ceasefire as soon as possible, A compromise both sides can accept,” as if the

An interesting discussion, but I’d like to come at it from another angle.
My father was born in Lviv—then known as Lemberg, Galicia, Austro-Hungary,
pre-WWI–and one of my new granddaughter’s other grandparents was born in the
same city —then Lvov, Ukraine SSR. In between it was Lwów, Poland.
As a one-time theoretical physicist, I find this quote from Gosden to be
out-dated, overly reductive, and incorrect, at least as far as the most
thoughtful scientists go.
Scientific understanding doesn’t “derive from abstraction,” but rather the
other way round. It doesn’t separate humans

Dear Felix, Ted, Bryan, and Dymitri,
I have some differences of opinion about the nature of money, its meaning
today, and what it says about digital art, etc.
First, money is primarily a social construct, resting on a whole host of
institutions and arrangements. These inevitably change

Thanks, Molly, for a relatively cheering summing up. However, I’m not quite
ready to cheer until the election results are in and more or less accepted.
US election laws still favor just two parties, and left ideas are just

Prem has some worthwhile points as a response to the pandemic, but I question

system, rather than the hodgepodge we had, would have dealt better with an
international crisis such as the virus and its spread. Local
I took part on Saturday in the March for Science in SF. It wast a bit
