I figured I might as well take advantage of my psychology binge-reading to do some blogging, rather than keep all my thoughts to myself. The point for me isn't to look for a psychological cause behind every political phenomenon, but to pay attenti...

Some thoughts on alternative education author Alfie Kohn today. I started with his book, "Punished by Rewards", which discusses why rewards (grades, gold stars, salary bonuses or any other kind of bribes) are not good things - not in workplaces, n...

Khaled Mishal of Hamas in the foreground, and a Nazi swastika in the background. Click on the story and you won't see anything Nazi. That's because there's nothing to do with the Nazis, other than the desire by the BBC and so many others to link t...

I just published this answer to Cockburn, Rancourt, and Noble on ZNet. I hope it helps some people think about these things and sift the useful contributions from these writers from the very poor things they are doing in their writing on climate.

I just read (briefly) an interview with Denis Rancourt, a professor at the University of Ottawa who claims climate change is not happening and that talk of climate change serves oil companies. My quick reaction is that this is like Michael Deibert...
