Recently I've come to appreciate Neuromancer in a whole new way. For the longest time I thought of the book as too abstract and a little slow, as opposed to Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash, which gave so much detail about the Metaverse you could sit down and begin programming it. I always thought the difference was that Gibson couldn't imagine what...

Raymond Tallis Free will is not an illusion The Enlightenment idea of conscious, freely acting individuals is worth defending against those who would reduce freedom to neuroscience "Collectivism sounds close to cultural determinism, which is no great advance on biological or material determinism. This is where biology, or our bodies...

A review of The Great Disruption by Zaki Laïdi “Expert consensus, rather than public consensus, underpins today’s political outlook” "... A political drama in which the tension is between the expert and the decision-maker has little room for ordinary people. Instead, the public is expected simply to accept and live with the...

Now, I'm certainly no adherent of astrology, but no one can deny that the moon and the stars have some, if not tiny, effect on the inhabitants of this planet. Just as the great circling rock moves the oceans, it can move us all. It's not that I think that people will go insane during different a full moon nor that a complete lack of moonlight will...

"...What this debate overlooks is that America and Britain left Iraq long ago – in spirit anyway. Politically and emotionally, if not physically, the Coalition of the Willing has already ‘cut and run’. Now, some want to make Western withdrawal a formal as well as a political reality, especially those who have been left behind in Iraq:...

I'd just like to quickly apologize for the high concentration of Daft Punk references on this page, for now. I just saw them live last night and am doubly obsessed, if that's even possible. I'm only human, after all. Aside from my musical preferences though, I've been thinking quite a bit about something lately. The show was outdoors....

"This is why ethics would be better named - since it speaks Greek - a 'eu-oudénose', a smug nihilism. Againgst this we can set only that which is yet not being, but which our thought declares itself able to conceive. Every age - and in the end, none is worth more than any other - has its own figure of nihilism. The names...

It is a victory that you’re seeing me on your browser. I speak to you from high orbit, 22,000 miles above your planet, your planet because I walked away from it rather than admit I was wrong. You can see me but I can’t see you, we don’t have the two-ways here, but it is beautiful, to hear the voices of those of you who are here. How many...
