No anarchy in progress without fun,

"There have never been a Revolution without a starving mass"

Politics that advocate taking power is doomed for failure, and toxic, maybe! In Snipers in the kitchen ", @MonederoJC examines the failures of the leftist movements across Central and South America. He talks about how centers of power, which are very much intact after a populist leftist movement takes power, align to undermine and defeat the leftist project. "Snipers" he refers to are these institutions; mass media, the judiciary, police/military, and of course, the market forces -- the capital, and their minions, the traps laid in every corner of the house. The 21st century repeats are only a stone's throw away from where ever one is, from Syriza, Corbyn, Chile to maybe whatever the whole left-progressive thing in the US was ? At the end of the day none of these movements garnered enough momentum to make a dent in the power structures that they fought to defeat. I think we are much deeper in 💩 than just not having powerful popular institutions though (i.e The Ma...

Climate Change..!!!

It is quite a heated debate that is revolving around the climate change and its effects. I was really ignorant on that 'debate' until i met a couple of science students who held a different view than that of mine. So, I was wondering what others think specially near the UN conference on Climate Change, and here's a poll. Just mark what you think, and fill out the form if you like. The real poll is on top of the page. The one on the bottom is to just see what different societies and age groups think of this issue. (Don't try to research before answering..!:D coz that'll foil the purpose..! ) thanx Loading...

Effect of Extra Dimensions and Parity Violation in Externalist vs Internalist debate of Incongruent Counterparts

⚛ (Paper for Metaphysics, PHIL 125... Bleh..! ) Discussion of whether the space is an absolute entity or a relative phenomenon due to other objects or matter is over a millennium old. One interesting argument weighing in on this problem is presented using the analysis of incongruent counterparts. As Kant argued, existence of identical mirror images of asymmetric objects such as left and right hands implies that the substantivalist viewpoint of space is correct. Relativists rejection of Kant’s argument has given rise to two different explanation of the phenomenon. First of these, internalism, argues that the handedness of objects is an intrinsic property. Externalists, on the other hand, claims that the differences only materialize when comparing two objects, and deny any intrinsic handedness[1, p12]. I will analyze two arguments related to the debate between internalism and externalism: namely, the affect of extra dimensions and fall of parity and whether they ...

Amon Goeth in Schindler's list and pardoning the devil.

I finally watched it. I was attached to the movie the full three hours, was deeply disturbed by the imagery of the real events that was happening touched by the show of humanity and ended the movie with tears. Great movie... Yes! (Though, it wasn't a great movie, no. I want to write about that too, on a different post). While there were many scenes that are brilliant in many ways, one act puzzled me very much and I think was just pure genius. That is the scene where Amon Goeth kills the boy who was cleaning his bathroom bowl. Here's the last part of it... In the outset the scene portrays the devilish commander killing an innocent boy who think he was pardoned. But I think the scene goes far beyond that. It shows how Amon exercises his new found interpretation of power, power to pardon, in its ultimate sense by pardoning himself. Showing that he finally truly understand the meaning of power, the ultimate power yielded only by God, to pardon a person as villainous as he is...
