Experimental philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nichols and Knobe (2007) found that "people's responses to questions about moral responsibility can vary dramatically depending on the way in which the question is formulated"[25] and argue that "people tend to have compatiblist intuitions when they think about the problem in a more concrete, emotional way but that they tend to have incompatiblist intuitions when they think about the problem in a more abstract, cognitive way".[26]

The Occupy KC Post - Current Issue
The Occupy KC Post was created by Jeff Johnson and Evan Harmon. Our mission statement is, in the spirit of the colonial press, to cajole citizens toward democracy, to encourage the converted, to persuade the undecided, and to counter with truth, reason and humor the attacks of the antagonist.

Rumsfeld's War Games
FTA:"One event that shocked Van Riper occurred in 2002 when he was asked, as he had been before, to play the commander of an enemy Red Force in a huge $250 million three-week war game titled Millennium Challenge 2002."

Van Riper crushed the US invasion with unconventional tactics. Instead of adapting to these tactics, they changed the rules of the game - they made it illegal to shoot down some planes, made them turn on their anti-aircraft radar, etc. Van Riper walked out.

WikiLeaks: A tale of two worlds - Opinion - Al Jazeera English
FTA:
"The conditions that allow the network to challenge the power of governments and corporations can be traced to the origin of the Internet and the Cold War zeitgeist that made the network we know possible. It was only because Cold War strategists had to narrate to themselves the unfolding of convoluted thermonuclear apocalypse scenarios, a dark art that peaked with Herman Kahn's surreal book On Thermonuclear War, that a computer network with the characteristics of the internet was implemented."

"The idea of imminent apocalypse was so extraordinary that it allowed for the radical thinking that over a decade evolved into the TCP/IP computer protocol suite, a resilient network protocol that makes the end user of the network its primary agent.
...
as traced by Foucault and Deleuze from sovereign societies to disciplinary societies to societies of control."

Pink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before the 1920s pink used to be associated with boys and blue with girls: An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."
