The first 'Digger' pamphlet, in which William Everard, Winstanley and others explained 'our Reasons, why we have begun to dig upon George hill in Surrey', proclaimed itself in one version as The True Levellers Standard Advanced . 2 Opponents certainly conflated Diggers and Levellers. The ...
that to make unhappy and to make bad are just as little counter-arguments. A thing could be TRUE, although it were in the highest degree injurious and dangerous; indeed, the fundamental constitution of existence might be such that one succumbed by a full knowledge of it—so that the strengt...

If, as Alexander maintains, there was a catastrophic reversal in how persons in advanced technological societies connected to physical reality, then we have to ask why that switch took place. Scientists would consequently be partially complicit in this—or, at the very least, not-so-innocent byst...

Robots are now advanced enough to take over complex jobs in areas like agriculture and mining, eliminating the need for humans to perform dangerous or tedious tasks. In practice, however, automation is a double-edged sword, with the capacity to oppress as well as unburden. Machines often ...
It is one thing to conduct endless massacres against a starving population, but quite another to engage a militarily-advanced regional power in a potentially all-out war. Israel’s options are thus very limited. Where are the Palestinians in all this? There may or may not be some practical...
One month before his death from advanced melanoma, Rachmaninoff was granted American citizenship. In Rachmaninoff's work, early influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Mussorgsky, and other Russian composers gave way to a personal style notable for its song-lik...
