Reposted from the Institute for Cultural Evolution’s blog: The Institute for Cultural Evolution does not officially endorse candidates for public office. But as the president of this organization I feel obligated to express my personal political opinion on the upcoming election. While I acknowledge that there are many people of good sense and good faith who continue to support Donald Trump, I cannot assent to his leadership. My considered assessment is that Trumpâs apparent disregard for the truth, coupled with his generally untrustworthy character, disqualify him for the office of the presidency. Even though Iâm a registered Democrat, I still …

Ecological inequality includes such things as access to fresh air, clean water, lush vegetation, beautiful scenery, healthy and non-toxic food, clean living spacesâeven sunlight. In many large Chinese cities, a lot of people hardly see the sun, and millions die as a result of air polluÂtion. Many people around the world work in noisy, physically danÂgerous, dirty and toxic enÂvironments, like children in West Africa working on huge piles of waste from electronics, slowly poisoning themselves to reÂtrieÂve valuable metals and minerals. The brunt of harm caused by environmenÂtal deÂgradation is carried very unevenly by populÂations. You see this in …

Race, to all people who use the term correctly, is a matter of a few easily observed physiological characteristics: the color of your skin, the texture of your hair, and the shape of a few extremities . . . But there is no scientific correlation between those physical features and behavior. The only correlation comes from the conditioning of the consciousnessâand that is not the same thing as race. Consciousness and race just donât correlate. âAlbert Murray Introduction The meme of race is like a dead virus, brought alive by the vulnerability of those it feeds upon, attacking the immune …

How do chocolate goodies keep their sheen and creamy texture, even while sitting on store shelves? Increasingly, the answer is palm oil (and palm kernel oil), the worldâs most widely consumed vegetable oil[1]. In our report Rethinking Food and Agriculture 2020-2030, we discuss how precision fermentation (PF) is rapidly improving in cost and capabilities so that it could be used to make any protein at speed and scale. But PF is not just about protein, in fact a wide variety of molecules can be made via PF, including those found in palm oil. Store-bought chocolate cream balls, which the author …

It has been shown in a growing body of recent research that social excluÂsion and rejection activate similar patterns in the brain as physical pain. Social exclusion is like a slap in your face. This is a real thing: You subÂject someone even to a small slight or rejecÂtion, and not only do they expÂerÂience pain, they also become more vulÂnerable to such pain in the future, and their emotional state is pushed towards vengefulness and envyâeven increasing the propensity towards physical aggression.[i] The following is a slightly edited extract from Hanzi Freinachtâs book âNordic Ideology: A Metamodern Guide to …
