• America & Modernity

  
  Positive Liberty — Authority: 575
  I hope to make a few useful observations about Cato-Unbound’s latest symposium on modernity . The seeds of modernity trace to the beginning of Western Civilization, particularly to Greco-Romanism. The Greeks invented or discovered science. And Rome, at its peak, invented things like the aqueducts , so advanced ...

• The War Game 3

  
  The Toynbee convector — Authority: 128
  I predicted that the YouTube clips of The War Game in my November 1 post would not be available for long and they have already been removed. This is petty-minded of the BBC, which has earned enough by now by licensing the film it refused to show on television, while the film’s maker, Peter Watkins, [...]

• Anarcho-Capitalism and Public Health

  
  Positive Liberty — Authority: 575
  Questions regarding the safety of the H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccine have predictably rekindled the general question of public health and safety concerns as they conflict with personal autonomy and the prima facie right to refuse or to refuse for one’s children the various vaccines currently available to prevent various ...

• The War Game 2

  
  The Toynbee convector — Authority: 128
  Citizens of West European countries were haunted [in the post-war world] by fears that some American decision, in which the West European peoples might have had no say, might inadvertently bring Russian atomic missiles hurtling down on Dutch, Danish, French, and British heads. Such West European fears of dire ...

• Fishing for Great White Sharks - Farallons

  
  Underwater Thrills:Swimming With Sharks — Authority: 518
  Perhaps the biggest shark controversy in the western hemisphere is about to play out this week at the Farallon Islands - and no one it seems, is happy about it. Just 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco, these small, protected islands, are home to some of the largest white sharks in the region. They are ...

• The War Game

  
  The Toynbee convector — Authority: 128
  The films about the possible end of human life that we are being asked to watch now (October 29 and 30 posts) are divertissements compared with the docudrama that I was made to watch at school in 1968 or ’69.Peter Watkins’s The War Game (UK, 1965) was intended for the BBC, but “The effect of [...]

• Owning water

  
  The Toynbee convector — Authority: 128
  After the Junior High School (see Judith Weingarten’s comment) emoting of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home, I saw another film in Kuwait last week. It was called (rather weakly) Blue Gold and subtitled The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World’s Water (US, 2008). Here the emotion was about the ownership of ...

• James Law’s Technosphere is an Eco Deathstar for Dubai

  
  INHABITAT — Authority: 743
  Like an non evil, sustainable version of the Deathstar, the Technosphere by James Law Cybertecture replicates the Earth as a structural concept. Inside the eco-sphere is an entire world which serves as a vehicle to explore the issues of self-sustaining life on a smaller level. Although not nearly as self-sufficient ...

  Positive Liberty — Authority: 575
  If you are reading this, then it’s probably too late for you, because you are already literate. Such a shame: Many prehistoric Australian aboriginals could have outrun world 100 and 200 meters record holder Usain Bolt in modern conditions . Some Tutsi men in Rwanda exceeded the current world high jump record of ...
