Philosophers Rip Darwin
By Michael Ruse
The Chronicle of Higher Education
&#8220;Doubters Rip Darwin &#8212;  Badly&#8221; would have been better. In his article, Michael Ruse adds Thomas Nagel to the fold of philosophers seeming to enter a late, demented phase in otherwise illustrious careers.

The Shadow that the Future Throws 
Text based on a conversation between Nathan Gardels and Ivan Illich in 1989 
Now, nearly two decades [after 1969] later, a woeful sense of imbalance has dawned on the common sense.

		<title>The 10% Problem</title>

The Pareto Principle, commonly known as the 80-20 rule, first figured into my own thinking several years before someone hipped me to the origins of a conception I was using. In truth, I had developed its bastard child, also a regulation of the vital few, I called&#8211;at the time&#8211;the 10% problem. The context was artist [...]]]></description>

The Good Wife is my favorite new tv show of the several candidates for my favor. It&#8217;s a variation on the legal procedural, yet it splits time between the legal case at the center of each episode, and, lawyer Alicia&#8217;s (played by Margulies) knotty domestic drama. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been feeling my way around vampires because the Jung-Fire group has also been doing so.
Whilst descriptions of vampires varied widely, certain traits now accepted as universal were created by the film industry. Where did vampires originate? Well, nearly every culture has its own undead cretures which feed off of the life essence of the [...]]]></description>

DIPLOMACY
It had been ordered that the execution should take place in the garden of the yashiki (1). So the man was taken there, and made to kneel down in a wide sanded space crossed by a line of tobi-ishi, or stepping-stones, such as you may still see in Japanese landscape-gardens. His arms were bound behind [...]]]></description>

It is all downhill after this tipping point, reached in the piece&#8217;s fourth sentence:

		<title>Grey Area of Motivation, Alas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Looking through old drafts, I came across a long essay on motivation. The essay was the result of a research project I did several years ago. You don&#8217;t get to see it; it&#8217;s moment has passed. Nevertheless, motivation fascinates me as a subject matter. It&#8217;s complex, reaches into conundrums of meta-psychology, and remains a mildly [...]]]></description>
