Che cosa abbiamo fatto per meritarci Diego Fusaro?
di Raffaele Alberto Ventura pubblicato martedì, 7 aprile 2015 · 377 Commenti di Raffaele Alberto Ventura In principio era un sito Internet intitolato “La filosofia e i suoi eroi”. Nei primi anni Duemila, chi cercasse in rete informazioni su Platone o Aristotele poteva facilmente imbattersi in queste pagine redatte da uno studente torinese di nome Diego Fusaro. Il sito era una galleria di santini animata da una visione schematica della storia del pensiero, ricalcata dai manuali, ma trasudava di un entusiasmo impressionante. Ho assistito alla folgorante ascesa mediatica di Diego Fusaro con un misto d’invidia e di stupefazione. Stupefazione, tuttavia, perché a leggere e ascoltare certe esternazioni di Fusaro si può avere l’impressione di avere a che fare con un idiot savant che ripete meccanicamente degli slogan. Com’è potuta accadere questa cosa che chiamiamo Diego Fusaro? Talvolta il meccanismo s’inceppa e produce delle affascinanti anomalie, dei loop e dei glitch nel tessuto logico.
In 50-49 vote, US Senate says climate change not caused by humans
WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected the scientific consensus that humans are causing climate change, days after NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared 2014 the hottest year ever recorded on Earth. The Republican-controlled Senate defeated a measure Wednesday stating that climate change is real and that human activity significantly contributes to it. Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, offered the measure as the Senate debated the Keystone XL pipeline, which would tap the carbon-intensive oil sands in the Canadian province of Alberta. The Senate voted 50-49 on the measure, which required 60 votes in order to pass. “Only in the halls of Congress is this a controversial piece of legislation,” Schatz said. The chairman of the environment committee, Sen. “The hoax is there are some people so arrogant to think they are so powerful they can change the climate,” Inhofe said Wednesday on the Senate floor.

Adopt a Foxlight by Hank Seipp
Be the first to like this update To all people following this fundraiser!! Thank you for helping us spread the word and for the many donations we already have. After fees are removed that are taken automatically from Gofundme, we have earned enough for 31 fox lights!! There is a huge need to promote peaceful coexistence and tools to show folks that Non Lethal deterrents work. We are working toward garnering 160 of these fox lights to test and use in a variety of situations as well we are going to expand this fundraiser to include other non lethal deterrent's after we have reached our 1st goal. Please note that the State of Washingtons wolf numbers are a minimum number of hard counted wolves and are likely much lower than the actual number of wolves. This is not something we can sit on our hands over. We have a standing challenge from one of our followers to donate a $500 matching donation!! Thank you!!

Finance Is Not the Economy
By Dirk Bezemer and Michael Hudson The authors thank the editor and two anonymous referees for helpful suggestions that greatly improved this article. Bezemer wishes to thank the Equilibrio Foundation and the Institute for New Economic Thinking for financial support. Why have economies polarized so sharply since the 1980s, and especially since the 2008 crisis? The last quarter century’s macro-monetary management, and the theory and ideology that underpinned it, was lauded by leading macroeconomists asserting that “The State of Macro[economics] is Good” (Blanchard 2008, 1). Get Evonomics in your inbox Nearly all this asset-price inflation was debt-leveraged. In this article, we present the building blocks for an alternative. Immoderate debt creation was behind that “Great Moderation” (Grydaki and Bezemer 2013). The credit crisis and recession are, therefore, a true paradigm test for economics (Bezemer 2011, 2012a, 2012b). Finance Is Not The Economy; Rent Is Not Income Empirical Evidence S.
Occupy Democrats
346.6K Shares Share Tweet Email Last week, 80 CEOs jointly published a letter in the Wall Street Journal calling for austerity spending cuts to deal with the deficit, in a new effort to “starve the beast” and slice funds away from public programs, especially Medicare and Medicaid, reducing their effectiveness to make their calls for privatization more effective. Senator Bernie Sanders, champion of the middle class and economic justice, published his own response- a scathing condemnation of their hypocrisy and blatant opportunism: “There really is no shame. He then released a list of the eighteen CEOs who are responsible for triggering the recession, destroying the middle class, corrupting our politicians, underpaying their workers, and outsourcing jobs overseas. These are the names of traitors who have forsaken their people and nation to worship at the altar of greed: 1) Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2010? Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve?

How Ayn Rand became the new right's version of Marx | George Monbiot | Opinion
It has a fair claim to be the ugliest philosophy the postwar world has produced. Selfishness, it contends, is good, altruism evil, empathy and compassion are irrational and destructive. The poor deserve to die; the rich deserve unmediated power. It has already been tested, and has failed spectacularly and catastrophically. Yet the belief system constructed by Ayn Rand, who died 30 years ago today, has never been more popular or influential. Rand was a Russian from a prosperous family who emigrated to the United States. Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957, depicts a United States crippled by government intervention in which heroic millionaires struggle against a nation of spongers. The poor die like flies as a result of government programmes and their own sloth and fecklessness. Rand's is the philosophy of the psychopath, a misanthropic fantasy of cruelty, revenge and greed. Ignoring Rand's evangelical atheism, the Tea Party movement has taken her to its heart.
