This And That

As usually happens, the middle of this week has meant long hours at work. So for the moment, just a few links:

— A fine rant, from across the pond, on the new subjectivity of justice, and the culture of victimhood.

— A necessary government expenditure that appears, so far, to have survived the sequester.

Calvinism.

— A statistical resource I had hitherto been unaware of.

— Richard Dawkins on the relative value of pigs and human fetuses.

Pop-psych.

Zombie-fy yourself. (Haven’t tried it.)

— A layman’s overview of the Higgs particle, whose existence seems more likely confirmed.

Ah, I hear behind me the whistle and crack of the galley-master’s lash. Back to my oar for now.

  1. The “Zombie-fy yourself” link led to an article on narcissists’ having bigger signatures.

    Loved the Calvinism. I have the complete collection of quality paperbacks, that I inherited from my son.

    Morally Dawkins is less than human.
