The zombie economics of austerity in Australia February 9, 2012
Yesterday’s Fin ran a piece from Stephen Kirchner and Robert Carling of the Centre for Independent Studies, under the headline “Give austerity a chance” which was a pretty accurate summary of the contents. It’s paywalled, but for those with access the link is here. The piece relies almost exclusively on the work of Alberto Alesina […]
How Deserving Are the Poor? Debate Wrap-Up, by Bryan Caplan February 9, 2012
The resource page for last week's Caplan-Smith debate is now up, complete with full video. Here's Karl's post-debate statement. It's basically a more detailed version of his original statement. But he does introduce two new points I want to answer:1. Genetic determinism. Here's Karl:As it happened I was also debating Bryan Caplan […]
Just a raptor note February 9, 2012
Some adult hawks can look 'juvenile-like'. Check out this Cooper's Hawk I photographed in 1999 at the Goshute Mountains in Nevada ('click' to enlarge). The barring on the underside is much less dense than a typical adult Cooper's Hawk. I have seen this on a few birds over the years, and several that I was able to see well had be […]

For the record... February 8, 2012
As the author of Theories of International Politics and Zombies, I want to make it absolutely clear that I have absolutely nothing to do with this: But, based on Al Qaeda's current capabilities, I'm beginning to think that this is their best chance for revival. […]
Dostoyevsky February 8, 2012
Ken writes: I was scouring your blog for Fyodor Dostoevsky and was surprised to see no mentions. I was just wondering your thoughts on him. Currently reading the Brothers Karamazov and it’s fantastic. Brothers Karamazov spent seven or so years as my favorite book, starting in high school. I’m not suggesting it is juvenile, only that […]
Your Brain on Drugs: Philosophical Implications February 8, 2012
Studies of the neurochemical effects of drugs support the mind-brain identity theory over its chief rival, dualism, which claims that minds are distinct from bodies.read more […]
Remind me again why I should be quaking in my boots? February 8, 2012
Hey, remember how the new Al Qaeda was going to be more networked and more capable of inspiring home-grown terrorism? Remember how today's threat enviroment was supposed to be worse than the Cold War? Bear these points in mind when considering two news items that crossed my screen today. In the first, courtesy of Micah Zenko, a Pentagon official sugg […]
