The solution to nuclear deterrence is to place the nuclear arsenal months in deep space on human-crewed “Space Boomer.” It solves several problems. The first problem is deterrence. The second problem is launch-on-warning, and the third problem is climate change. From the Slate article: “Maybe it’s because of the wars in Ukraine and the MiddleContinue reading “Nukes in Space”

The Fix Is In
When the great one says it is “the stupidest idea ever”, those looking for future employment with his company, where several NASA higher-ups have gone, are going to ride that wave. Terrestrial industry is overheating the planet so setting Space Solar up by way of lunar industry, as advocated by Gerard K. O’Neill, is theContinue reading “The Fix Is In”
The Hard Right
“-Brandes took it upon himself to use his considerable soapbox to introduce Nietzsche to a wider audience, which he did in a popular essay “Aristocratic Radicalism” published in 1889. Brandes read Nietzsche as a creative critic of the “slave morality” that was currently sweeping across Europe through demands for liberalism, socialism, and democracy. While criticalContinue reading “The Hard Right”
God Made Donald
Thanks to Chauncey DeVega In this age of intense political and religious division, many Christian nationalists have convinced themselves that they have a special claim on America. That simply is not true. The United States was not founded as a “Christian nation.” The Constitution enshrines a clear separation of church and state, and no versionContinue reading “God Made Donald”

The Nuclear Codes
“Our entire constitution is based on a minimum level of decency in the people who are elected to public office.” What is “decency” in this modern age of relativism though? Nobody wants to talk about the naked fact that the reason Trump is so popular is his racist anti-immigration platform. That is how he mightContinue reading “The Nuclear Codes”
Destroy Truth and Conquer
The old Roman adage, “Divide and Conquer” is based on a certain technique that destroys the basic idea of truth. Agreement on facts between people is the ground floor of any cooperative action. Trust is required to accept facts as the best approximations of a truth that will be acted upon on. By destroying anyContinue reading “Destroy Truth and Conquer”
Chauncey Tells It
“The enduring power of old-fashioned biological racism in American society is made even more terrifying given how Trump is now openly channeling Hitler, complete with threats to remove the “vermin” from the country and complaints of how non-white people are “poison” in the blood of the nation. How Trump and the MAGA movement and largerContinue reading “Chauncey Tells It”
