Netanyahu's sabotage of Israeli democracy
Netanyahu's sabotage of Israeli democracy
Another front has opened in the global rise of populist authoritarianism. With their efforts to weaken Israel's independent judiciary, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his corrupt coalition of Messianic fascists and ultra-Orthodox allies are determined to translate their anti-democratic rhetoric into authoritarian policy.

Korea's plunging birthrate hits home
It's no longer surprising to hear that Korea's birthrate has plunged to the world's lowest and continues falling as more and more young people choose not to have babies. Over the past two decades or so, the government has spent nearly 400 trillion won ($308 billion) to encourage Koreans to get married and have children, but to no avail.

A case for government monopoly on energy prices
Higher utility prices, particularly for heating and gas, have hit us all in recent months. And according to the government, it isn't the end of the matter - there is a plan to increase the prices even further. It is time to cry foul at this administration's acts as examples of administrative incompetence.

If Russia had won
If Russia had won
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not met any of the strategic objectives that he alluded to when he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine one year ago. In fact, no reasonable person can deny that the war has been a complete debacle for Russia.

Benford's law applications and earthquakes
It was anticipated more than a century ago that the distribution of real-world observations' first digits would not be uniform but would exhibit a trend where numbers with lower first digits (1,2,...) occur more frequently than those with higher first digits (...,8,9).

Dark side of neutrality
Dark side of neutrality
Last May, before being newly re-elected as president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, bear equal responsibility for the war in Ukraine. Yet whether the refusal to pick sides comes from Brazil, South Africa, or India, claiming to be “neutral” on Russia's war of aggression is u...

Why can't we hang together on the North Korean nuclear issue?
“We must hang together, or surely we shall hang separately.” Benjamin Franklin is reputed to have said this on the eve of signing the Declaration of Independence. Delegates at the Continental Congress knew the grave risk they were assuming in getting engaged in the war of independence against the United Kingdom, one of the strongest military powers at the time. Franklin thoug...

Automating inspiration
David Brooks, in his recent New Times Column titled, “In the Age of A.I., Major in Being Human,” writes, “This is what many of us notice about art or prose generated by AI. It's often bland and vague. It's missing a humanistic core. It's missing an individual person's passion, pain, longings and a life of deeply felt personal experiences.

The mistrust of politics
The mistrust of politics
There are no small number of accusations lately that - shocking as it may be - some of our politicians are lying to us. Some Republicans shouted the “L” word during President Biden's State of the Union Address, when he said Republicans wanted to end Social Security and Medicare.
