To understand why we are going crazy, you have to understand a basic principle. Parents love to trash the technologies their kid’s flash. In the 1990s, gory, blood and guts videogames were booming. And adults blamed those games for the violence and crime in society. In 1992 and 1993 there were Senate hearings about

It all started on Sunday of last week, July 26th. Iraqi militias under the control of Iran rained missiles down on critical oil and energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. In 72 hours the Iraqis launched a reported 70 rockets and drones. By Tuesday July 28th, the Saudis had had enough. They joined us in attacking the Iranian-backed mini-armies.
This is a World War III minute. A minute when the wrong move could kick off the sort of domino effect that led to World War I. And this time the war would be nuclear. But this is also a minute when we can’t stop fighting. Why? The war with Iran is a war we must win. There’s a reason.
Bees, Quarks, Pop Stars, Empires, and the Big Bang — One Mind Sees the Pattern Running Through It All We live in the age of the specialist. The physicist doesn’t talk to the biologist, the biologist doesn’t talk to the historian, and none of them would be caught dead analyzing a pop concert. Human knowledge
Tuesday July 14th, the House of Representatives passed a bill to let states choose Daylight Saving Time as a permanent, year-round thing. It’s called the Sunshine Protection Act. The bill passed by an astonishing 308 to 117. Now it has to go to the Senate and then to the president. The president has already let
The two biggest issues on the table in our negotiations with Iran are a do or die for the world’s economy—the Strait of Hormuz– and a possible do or die for humankind– Iran’s nuclear program. How are the Iran talks going this week? Lumpy, bumpy and confused. Thursday of last week, June 25th, Iran struck a
It’s time to be careful, very, very careful. And it’s time not to let our domestic politics blind us. As the Iranians and their allies, the Chinese, see it, a new balance of power is taking over the world. And the United States is no longer the dominant superpower. Far from it. In fact, a Hezbollah official, Wafiqu Ṣafā, says that
Wednesday afternoon, June 17th, the president and his administration released a document they had been teasing for close to a week: a 14-point memo of understanding bringing the war with Iran to a close. Is that memo of understanding, that MOU, a victory or a defeat for the United States? Is that MOU a cause for
Donald Trump has now told us for the 38th time that we are on the brink of a peace deal with Iran, a Memorandum of Understanding in which we both agree to turn the Strait of Hormuz back into a free passage zone, in which we agree to stage a next level of negotiation on Iran’s
Our president believes we’ve won the Iran war. He might be surprised to discover that Iran believes he’s lost. Yes, Iran thinks it has won. Here’s what one of Iran’s mouthpieces, PressTV, said on Monday: the American side now confronts an inescapable choice: either cease hostilities and accept Iran’s terms, or brace for the complete
Our president believes we’ve won the Iran war. Decisively. He might be surprised to discover that Iran believes he’s lost. Yes, Iran thinks it has won. And that the US and our Israeli partner have suffered many “strategic defeats at the hands of the Islamic Revolution” and have “failed to learn” our lesson. So if
The current war with Iran is a necessity. Iran is a danger to you and me. Iran has been working on nuclear weapons for 35 years. Some say Iran already has The Bomb. Others admit Iran has enough fissile material for from sixty to 90 bombs. And Iran has been working on intercontinental ballistic missiles since at
Brooklyn, NY – For more than half a century, we have told ourselves a story about space. It is a story of missions. We launch. We travel. We land. We plant a flag. And we come home. Apollo did it. Artemis is trying to do it again. Every headline, every press release, every televised launch

Once upon a time the idea of a genie in Aladdin’s lamp was a fantasy. That genie was conjured in prose sometime before 1704 in the Arabian Nights. But it couldn’t be conjured in reality. Now with the advent of AI, that fantasy is about to come true. Yes, within less than a decade we may well have
Who the Hell Is Howard Bloom? Howard Bloom is one of those wildly eclectic thinkers who refuses to be pinned down — he’s part science theorist, part cultural provocateur, and part cosmic storyteller. Born in Buffalo in 1943, Bloom started off as a science-obsessed kid, digging into microbiology and cosmology long before most people could
This cosmos is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Among other things, it is replete with immaterial forces that have power over material things. Yes, immaterial forces. Forces you and I can’t see. What in the world do I mean? At the very birth of the universe in a Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, the
The newest book from the man Britain’s Channel4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century is about to be published, not in the USA where Bloom lives, but in France. An Interview With (The) Lucifer (Principle) will be published in Paris early in 2026 by Jardin de Livres in Paris. Why France? The
