How Occupy Wall Street Flashed New York Back to 9/11
Dec 30, 2011 10:36 AM EST How Occupy Wall Street, in the shadow of Ground Zero and the rising Freedom Tower, unwittingly brought New York back to the dark days just after 9/11.
This article (Daily Beast) unwittingly touches on an important point: the connection to 9/11 of the OWS is direct. The reason is simple, if you can get unhooked from the ‘official version’ of events. That conspiracy of the US government (state terrorism) and the crypto-fascist years unleashed by that false flag op have produced or accompanied/accelerated the terminal deadlock of government in the resurgence of the right. The OWS is a protest, then, against 9/11, like it or not.

A glimpse of evolution
Debates over evolution are usually delusive because they are about the principles religionists and/or scientists believe in, and how ‘evolution’, unobserved, can be grafted onto those beliefs.
The failure to have observed ‘evolution’ before constructing a theory seems absurd, and is, but it is the reality of Darwinian fantasy science, and, these days, religious ID fantasy science.

Debates between people like Platinga and Dennett generate a sense of hopelessness: the debate is a monopoly of two power groups, Darwinian and religious. And both are filled with confusions. As we noted yesterday the issue of evolution and purpose is muddled by theologians who try to hybridize that with Xtian dogmas, as here.
__________________
As I’ve noted before, Plantinga sees no conflict between science and religion, but a definite conflict between science and naturalism. His premise here is that science, conceived as a mechanism for finding truth, is incompatible with naturalism’s claims that humans evolved by unguided evolution. According to Plantinga, there’s no reason to assume that unguided evolution would provide humans with senses that would give them reliable information about the universe, and so our ability to apprehend truth is compromised. But we can get back on the rails if we’re theists, for God has provided us with that essential supplementary way to find truth, the sensus divinitatis

Some news of note!
Two new anti-evolution bills are heading to the New Hampshire state
legislature. House member Jerry Bergevin (R-District 17), who introduced
one of the bills, blames the acceptance of evolution for the atrocities
of Nazi Germany and the 1999 Columbine shootings. House member Gary
Hopper (R-District 7), who introduced the other bill, admits he would
like to see “intelligent design” taught in classrooms. Yikes.

http://richarddawkins.net/articles/644411-case-closed-columbus-introduced-syphilis-to-europe
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but when he returned from ‘cross the seas, did he bring with him a new disease?
New skeletal evidence suggests Columbus and his crew not only introduced the Old World to the New World, but brought back syphilis as well, researchers say.
Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum bacteria, and is usually curable nowadays with antibiotics. Untreated, it can damage the heart, brain, eyes and bones; it can also be fatal.
The first known epidemic of syphilis occurred during the Renaissance in 1495. Initially its plague broke out among the army of Charles the VIII after the French king invaded Naples. It then proceeded to devastate Europe, said researcher George Armelagos, a skeletal biologist at Emory University in Atlanta.
“Syphilis has been around for 500 years,” said researcher Molly Zuckerman at Mississippi State University. “People started debating where it came from shortly afterward, and they haven’t stopped since. It was one of the first global diseases, and understanding where it came from and how it spread may help us combat diseases today.”
Stigmatized disease
The fact that syphilis is a stigmatized sexually transmitted disease has added to the controversy over its origins. People often seem to want to blame some other country for it, said researcher Kristin Harper, an evolutionary biologist at Emory.
Armelagos originally doubted the so-called Columbian theory for syphilis when he first heard about it decades ago. “I laughed at the idea that a small group of sailors brought back this disease that caused this major European epidemic,” he recalled. Critics of the Columbian theory have proposed that syphilis had always bedeviled the Old World but simply had not been set apart from other rotting diseases such as leprosy until 1500 or so.

HIV Study Named ’2011 Breakthrough of the Year’ by Science
ScienceDaily (Dec. 23, 2011) — The journal Science has chosen the HPTN 052 clinical trial, an international HIV prevention trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, as the 2011 Breakthrough of the Year. The study found that if HIV-infected heterosexual individuals begin taking antiretroviral medicines when their immune systems are relatively healthy as opposed to delaying therapy until the disease has advanced, they are 96 percent less likely to transmit the virus to their uninfected partners.

Young People More Likely To Favor Socialism Than Capitalism: Pew
by Alexander Eichler
Young people — the collegiate and post-college crowd, who have served as the most visible face of the Occupy Wall Street movement — might be getting more comfortable with socialism. That’s the surprising result from a Pew Research Center poll that aims to measure American sentiments toward different political labels.

“For-profit academic publishing is a suicide bombing mission against
the academy. In pursuing their doomed business model, the big
publishers risk turning the work we do as scholars into a giant echo
chamber. Students take on a lifetime of debt, partly to pay for
journal subscriptions that enrich a few corporations. Scholars are
turned into serfs who must feed the beast new product for it to sell,
or risk losing their already tenuous livelihoods. Institutions
bankrupt themselves paying for ever more expensive journals without
which they cannot compete. Fewer and fewer people can read the rapidly
increasing number of scholarly articles.
Is that grim enough for you? It’s all true.”

Real World Economics Review (December 18 2011)
If there’s one thing everyone in America knows, it’s that free-market
economics is true and free markets are best.
After all, we’re not communists, are we? They starved and lost the Cold
War because they believed otherwise. And their watered-down European
cousins the socialists? More of the same, only less so. Even liberals
get this nowadays. All hail the free market!
Trouble is, things “everyone” knows are often wrong. And this is no
exception.

Teleology is a highly ambiguous term, and has very little meaning. It depends on its essential meaning in a specific case. Note the resemblance, perhaps, to determinism! Is future determined? It would seem teleological. But that’s only is the telos is a fixed state. Suppose a teleological system was ‘evolving freedom’. It could not resolve a fixed future: it would evolve a ‘free creative potential’ for freedom to manifest. And this could not produce a fixed ‘telos’, since the outcome would be subject to creative amiguities.

Frankly, I recommend it! When both sides of a debate, here science and religion, indulge in confusing and inaccurate distortions of basic positions, the result is an intractable muddle that never resolves itself, and just continues in a dialectical infinity.
The question of ‘purpose’ is likely to be of this type. You just won’t get it straight from theological belivers, or mainstream scientists. Both sides will get it wrong.
Let the dust settle, and take a long slow look at the way in which the purposive appears in world history (in the incomplete pattern discovered). You can see where religionists get confused: the Axial Age is clear, until you try and interpret the history of the Old Testament. There religionists will bungle the issue of purpose in history, while scientists, having played ostrich will be issuing press releases from their back holes.
Since these two sides control the airwaves the conclusion lurks that public resolution of the issues is hopeless.
Despair?
Truth hides itself, and is rarely a public reality.

Climbing Mt. Improbable
The previous post on scientism and purpose was accurate enough up to a point, but when theologically inclined thinkers try to get specific they will bungle the whole question.
As I noted in that post: treat yourself to a case where the issues are clear, and you can do the job right: the eonic effect as a pattern of historical directionality. We see how a teleological system might operate. Note that ‘teleology’, pace Kant, is a phenomenal/noumenon casualty: we never really see ‘teleology’, we see instead the phenomenal aspect in a natural context. How would that work? No amount of philosophy will help. An example is needed, and that given in the eonic effect, though partial, is a spectacular possible answer: the noumenal ‘teleology’ shows a phenomenal cyclicity as its exemplar in the form of directionality.
Note that temporal observers may be unable to verify teleology because they don’t see the ‘end’ of a process. They might predict, but maybe not. Directionality is less stringent: you can see the relative progression of something in stages, suggesting a progession toward a ‘teleo’, but then again maybe not.
