Socialism in Theory and Practice
David BoazSixty-five percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism,according to Gallup. Gallup says 39 percent of Americans overall view socialism favorably, and 45 percent wouldvote for a socialist for president. Of course, they may have varying views of what " socialism " means. Some presumably mean government ownership of the means of production, the standard definition. Others may have in mind what Europeans call " social democracy, " as when Sen. Bernie Sanders defended his self-proclaimed socialism by saying he wanted the United States to be more like Denmark. The prime minister of Denmark promptly responde...

Birds spread their wings
A Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) flew into Berry Fen when we visited a couple of days ago to settle among the eight Little Egrets feeding there. In so doing it spooked two of the six Glossy Ibis that were feeding on the edge of a flooded area and they flew off to join four others of that species.
Cattle Egret over Berry Fen near Earith, Cambridgeshire, October 2021. Sixteen of this species seen there, the following day (county record)
Apparently, there were fifteen additional Cattle Egret in a flock on the same patch the day after we visited, which is the largest recorded gathering of this species in Cambridgeshire. A county...

Dr. Judith Beck on the future of cognitive therapy and psychotherapy
Dr. Awais Aftab: What do you think the future of psychotherapy is? What would you like it to be?
Dr. Judith Beck: A number of years ago, a colleague asked my dad whether he expected cognitive therapy to eventually dominate the field of psychotherapy. He responded, “I hope good therapy eventually dominates the field of psychotherapy. Just good therapy.” My father has always said, and I agree, that if significant research demonstrates greater support for the theoretical framework and treatment of a different psychotherapy, then that psychotherapy should supplant CBT. So far that has not happened. To the contrary, as the ...

More Laughing, More Thinking
By KIM BELLARD
There was a lot going on this week, as there always is, including the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the beginning of the NFL season, so you may have missed a big event: the announcement of the 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Awards (no, those are not typos).
What’s that you say — you don’t know the Ig Nobel Awards? These annual awards, organized by the magazine Annals of Improbable Research, seek to:
…honor achievements that make people LAUGH, then THINK. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people’s interest in scie...

Who is going to save medical science from “ peer reviewed ” madness ?
This 90-second video clip is a “perfect provocation”
.Allan Savory is a renowned ecologist from Africa. He is a global leader in environment and eco protection. He is making this famous comment, during one of his interviews from within the deep forests of Zimbabwe, after years of ground-level work in the field of desertification and climate change. I can understand his feelings, as we also encounter similar situations at ground zero of the health care delivery system. (I wonder if there is anything called peer-reviewed bedside caring)
We realize wide gaps between academia, patient care, and re...

Egrets, I ’ ve seen a few – including the Cattle Egret
Back in the early 1990s, Mrs Sciencebase and I visited Botswana and Zimbabwe. It was wonderful. The people, the landscapes, the wildlife. There were so many superb species around such as Golden Weaver Birds, Oxpeckers, Superb Starlings, various storks, ibis, vultures, Fish Eagles, Eagle Owl, and Little Egrets (probably Cattle Egrets too).
We were quite confused on our return on a visit to the North Norfolk coast (a place that would become a favourite haunt) that we saw a Little Egret there. Over the next three decades or so little egrets seem to have become increasingly common in East Anglia and although it’s still ...

' New Zimbabwe' Looks an Awful Lot Like the Old One
Zimbabwe ' s president Emmerson Mnangagwa promised a break from Mugabe ' s repressive rule and economic decline. To help support Zimbabwe ' s recovery, international actors would be wise to push the government to respect the country ' s 2013 constitution and push for genuine political, security, and economic reforms.

Little Has Changed in Post-Mugabe Zimbabwe

Carrying bituminous coals to Newcastle
This is one of those stories that somebody on social media will shout at me and say it didn’t happen. Well, it did.
When I moved down south, I didn’t have a car, didn’t even drive. So, I used to jump on a train every few weeks to visit my parents who were still living in my hometown. It was a three-hop journey: Cambridge to Peterborough, Peterborough to Newcastle, and then a Metro ride to the family semi-detached pile.
I always took a rucksack. The one that I’d taken around Europe Inter-Railling, the one I’d worked around the US with, same one that I’d tour Australia a year later with th...
