Two logical fallacies that we must avoid | Psychology Today Blogs

It is not possible to make either the naturalistic or the moralistic fallacy if scientists never talk about ought. Scientists – real scientists – do not draw moral conclusions and implications from the empirical observations they make, and they are not guided in their observations by moral and political principles. Real scientists only care about what is, and do not at all care about what ought to be.

Chris Patten: Opponents of globalisation are hypocrites | World news | The Guardian

With the world's money markets in turmoil, globalisation is a dirtier word than ever. It is blamed for destroying communities and widening the rift between rich and poor. But, argues Chris Patten, its opponents are hypocrites - free trade is still the best option.

Darian Leader on cognitive behavioural therapy | Science | The Guardian

CBT is a superficial treatment in my opinion. Darian Leader agrees, although I'm not sure that characterising its growth in use as "the triumph of a market-driven view of the human psyche." Hasn't it always been the case that people want quick fixes?

In an Iranian Image, a Missile Too Many - The Lede - Breaking News - New York Times Blog

As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison. Unfortunately, it appeared to contain one too many missiles, a point that had not emerged before the photo was used on the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers as well as on BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites.

The REAL inconvenient truth: Zealotry over global warming could damage our Earth far more than climate change

I'm in general agreement with Nigel - although I wouldn't characterise environmentalism as a religion. Shame he gave such a weak defence of his position on Newsnight the other night.

To the Letter Born - 2008 Elections - New York Times Blog

Style equals accuracy. Put the word “change” in Comic Sans and the idea feels lightweight and silly. Place it in Times Roman and it feels self-important. In Gotham, it feels just right. Inspiring, not threatening.
