Clifford, the Big Red Mystery
Today, in my daily rumination about Clifford the Big and Red dog, I had an epiphany. I had spent so much time considering and rationalizing Clifford’s existence in the real world to myself that I almost missed it. I almost blew it. You see, I have done many mental gymnastics in order to justify…

MAKING SENSE OF DINOSAURS AND THE BIBLE
by Babu G. Ranganathan*
(B.A. Bible/Biology)
The Bible doesn’t mention everything under the Sun, but, interestingly, the Bible does give a description of a land animal in the Book of Job 40:15–24 that can only refer to what we now know…
What are your sources for Trump abandoning clean energy in the economic sector? Do you have access to an overall national energy strategy that we do not have? I know Trump has come out against Climate Change but that does not mean we do not have a national energy strategy nor that we will not enter sectors of the energy marketplace. News without…

Can we reconcile mystical spirituality with science?
I finished reading The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee. It was recommended by Bill Gates. Bill Gates is likely promoting awareness about gene editing because of gene therapy’s potential to cure diseases which is one of the goals of his foundation. He was also an pre-IPO investor in Editas, a company attempting to…
When I was in college as a theatre major writing papers, I used theatre themes to write my art history papers, which was my minor. For example, Shakespearian Themes in the Works of Henry Fuseli or The Art of Leon Bakst. In graduate school, I wrote a paper using Barnett Newman’s ‘zip’ paintings as a means of…

On Λ, Einstein was ‘right’ to the extent that an extra term is required although he was wrong about the reason. Hence the Hubble constant.

The Limitless Power of Positive Passion:
I love this article. I love your truth Brandon. I love HONY and all that you do.
Passion is one of my favorite subjects, however, I have to disagree with, “Following your passion requires more discipline than passion.” Here is why.
Recently, domestic and foreign scholars have found through recombinant dog proteins that artemisinin has insecticidal, immunosuppressive and other pharmacological effects. The most exciting is that our scholars found that artemisinin also has…

A good, sobering, dystopian review of a book that aims to show that humans will simply slowly (by human standards) give up, as “humans”, version 2, which are actually AI/robots, take the lead. This is exactly what I’m afraid of too, and I think it’s likely to come to pass in less then…
Well, this question is hard to answer, and even harder to study. It is a contentions…

Talk of ‘Fake News’ was nearly constant for a weeks after the election of Donald Trump. If you don’t remember why, it was because the prevalance of stories that lacked some basis in fact being shared around circles of like-minded people was credited with tipping the scales in some states. I took to saying we…
Since Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the presidential election, there’s been mucho finger pointing. Hillary and her senior staff were too arrogant and overconfident. The Democrats ignored/shunned the locals in all the wrong places. The gobsmacked media gave DT too much free…
