Wednesday Bible Study: X-rated
Chapter 13 features an incestuous rape and fratricide. It also launches the story of Absalom, which through many twists and turns eventually dissolves Israel in civil war and anarchy, until order is restored in the end. This will take up many chapters, so be warned. The immediate story of Chapter 13 tells you everything you need to know about the status of women in Israeli society.13 Now Ab ′salom, David’s son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David’s son, loved her.2 Well no, he didn ' t " love " her, he just lusted after her. To be clear, Tamar is Amnon ' s half-sister...

The Social Science of Covid
By MIKE MAGEE As we enter the third year of the Covid pandemic, with perhaps a partial end in sight, the weight of the debate shows signs of shifting away from genetically engineered therapies, and toward a social science search for historic context. Renowned historian, Charles E. Rosenberg, envisioned a similar transition for the AIDS epidemic in 1989. He described its likely future course then as a “social phenomenon” with these words, “Epidemics start at a moment in time, proceed on a stage limited in space and duration, follow a plot line of increasing and revelatory tension, move to a crisis of individual ...

Surround Sound Intentions
In November I did a 30-day challenge regarding ideation, sharing progress updates in the CGC forums as I went along. My version of the challenge was to generate 100+ divergent ideas per day for each day of November. My intention was to stimulate some thinking in new directions. Most of the ideas I generated weren’t useful. However, some notable ideas did lead to interesting results, as I shared in CGC along the way. One I’ll share here is that I ended up diving into the rabbit hole of figuring out how to set up a decent home theater system, which is a project I’ve wanted to do for a while but always found ...

Making first contact: What to do with all that information! Part 4
In the previous few posts on what to do with all that assessment information I’ve talked about generating a formulation to guide treatment, and a little about how teams might work together to generate one. This post is a little different because I want to situation the discussion around the ultimate aim of therapy. I usually work with people who have long-standing pain that hasn’t changed much and doesn’t seem to be disappearing. I’m not a nihilist, but I do wonder if clinicians are trying too hard to “change pain” when the body doesn’t seem to respond all that much to whatever...

Cato Scholars on China and the World Trade Organization —20 Years On
Alfredo Carrillo ObregonDecember 11, 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of China ’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The world has changed dramatically since then, and U.S.-China relations are increasingly marked by tension. Over the years, Cato scholars have weighed in on China’s entry into the rules based international trading system, and this post provides a summary of many of those contributions and reflects on the lessons learned from this momentous policy.One of the challenges to having a frank discussion about China ’s entry into the WTO, is that there are pervasive myths surrounding China’s WTO...

Innovation, mRNA, and Public Policy
Chris EdwardsThe main weapons against COVID-19 are the vaccines developed by Moderna and BioNTech after a decade of their research into mRNA technologies. That research was supported by more than $3 billion of private angel investment and venture capital.Democrats and Republicans both support medical research funding, and Republicans tout the Trump administration ’s Operation Warp Speed. But governments were not the key to mRNA development. Instead, we can thank the leaders and scientists at Moderna and BioNTech and the suppliers of private capital to them, as I discusshere andhere.TheWall Street Journal ’s A...

Sunny Suffolk – Lackford Lakes
Paid just our second visit of the year to Lackford Lakes Nature Reserve in the hope of seeing the Siskins that had been reported there this week. We stopped off at the ringing hut where two of the Suffolk Wildlife Trust team had netted various birds (Treecreeper, Blue, Great and Marsh Tits, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Robin, and others) and were carefully recording the recatches and ringing any new catches for their conservation efforts. So, what did we see on the day? Not in order of sighting but loosely grouped: Siskin Goldfinch Redpoll Great Tit Blue Tit Long-tailed Tit Coal Tit Marsh Tit Dunnock Robin Nuthatch Wren Tre...

How We Wrested Control of Our Rx Drug Spending. Maybe You Can, too.
This week, we ' ve heard reporting that the big Congressional bill which was supposed to include a provision for Medicare, which is the taxpayer-funded senior insurance plan to actually negotiate prices on prescription drugs (just as most other countries, as well as the Veteran ' s Administration [VA] already do right now) was going to be omitted because of a handful of PhRMA-bankrolled lawmakers pushed to kill it. That said, it isn ' t over until its over. Although we don ' t know what she might or might not do, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi still has some tricks in her own playbook if it doesn ' t happen a...

Endangered Species and Morality
Randal O'TooleTwo weeks ago, the Fish&  Wildlife Service proposed to declare23 endangered species, including theivory ‐​billed woodpecker, to be extinct. Since the woodpecker had been sighted as recently as 2006 and many hold out hope that it survives, the agency ’s proposal seems to be more of an attempt to gain support (and funding) for its programs.The bald eagle was in danger of extinction in 1973, when the Endangered Species Act was passed, and now has healthy populations in 49 states. Yet the Endangered Species Act probably was not the primary reason for its recovery.Photo by Andy Morflew.This makes i...

A Jekyll And Hyde Emotion? Research On Anger, Digested
This study provided evidence of “the important role of anger in the psychological process underlying moral courage,” the team wrote. Of course, a person’s individual moral framework is crucial here, though. If the sight of women venturing outdoors alone or going to work, say, deeply offends you, then your resulting outrage will likely propel you to action, too. Expressing anger can also make you seem more authentic and sincere. At least, this was suggested by a 2021 study of Kickstarter pitch videos. Entrepreneurs are often encouraged to be only positive about their ventures, commented the researchers. But they fo...

The people we can be
A lot of the lyrics to my songs come out ad lib when I have a go at recording a first-pass demo of a new tune. I usually then edit them into shape as the song evolves. But, sometimes they have a bit more of a story, and although the basics just emerge as I’m putting it together, they do get more craft occasionally. My latest conflates a couple of encounters Mrs Sciencebase and I have had with Paris over the years. The most recent encounter was from a high altitude, a few years ago we were flying back at night from a trip to Croatia and could see Paris from the airliner. The Eiffel Tower was illuminated and looked lik...
