The Science of Peace

The Twisting Tail

I am utterly convinced that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will eventually unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who have done the most for the sake of suffering humanity.

Louis Pasteur

lune: the face of war

eyes gouged by forked tongues
blind to peace
suffers to survive


The International Week of Science and Peace was first observed during 1986 as part of the International Year of Peace.


Forrmulated in branches
Leaf after leaf
Piece by incremental piece
The science of peace
Takes root
And flowers in time


Based on the success of the 1986 observance, the organizers continued their efforts in successive years. In December 1988, The UN proclaimed, the “International Week of Science and Peace”, to take place each year during the week in which November 11th falls.

” De tanto ver triunfar as nulidades; de tanto ver prosperar a desonra, de tanto ver crescer a injustiça. De tanto ver agigantar-se os poderes nas mãos dos maus, o homem chega a desanimar-se da virtude, a rir-se da honra e a ter vergonha de ser honesto. “

Rui Barbosa.

London From The Air: 1913 — beetleypete

The year before WW1 broke out, a photographer climbed into an early aircraft to photograph London from the air. Given the limitations of cameras and unreliable aircraft at the time, I think the results are outstanding. (Unfortunately, the photos cannot be enlarged.) St Paul’s Cathedral. The Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. Trafalgar Square. The […]

Review: A Master of Djinn, by P. Djèlí Clark — Inspiring Critical Thinking and Community via Books, Lessons, and Story

I recall reading a short story or novella in this same story universe, but that story had too much of a certain type of element which I could not stand reading, and so I never finished it, and it was therefore with a certain amount of trepidation that I started reading this book. I’m very […]

The Making of a Hero in 15 Seconds?

More Enigma Than Dogma

In this month to contemplate the place of violence in our times, I want to reflect on a story that broke in July of this year.

Blaze Media reported that 22-year-old armed citizen, Elisjsha Dicken, neutralized a potential mass killing at an Indiana mall by shooting the perpetrator within just 15 seconds of his first shots. Dicken was carrying his gun under Indiana’s new constitutional carry law that went into effect less than three weeks earlier; so was the first victim, Victor Gomez (what good did it do him to be carrying a gun?)… and so was the perpetrator:

“Surveillance footage shows the killer entered the mall shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday evening. He was armed with multiple firearms and spent approximately one hour in a bathroom before he opened fire at patrons in the Greenwood Park mall food court. Police said he exited the bathroom at 5:56:48 and was…

China talks Marxism, but still walks capitalism

Systemic Disorder

If there is one message that seemed to surface through last month’s crucial meetings of the Communist Party of China it is continuity. The inference that might best be taken is no significant change from the path on which the party has led China in recent years should be expected.

That path, despite the oft-used slogan “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,” has been a restructuring of the economy toward capitalism, albeit a gradual entry on Chinese terms and keeping the “commanding heights” of the economy in state hands. If we attempt to grasp the meaning of the communiqués and reports issued surrounding the party’s 20th National Congress, it would be better to observe through a holistic lens rather than fixating on personalities.

The Western corporate media obsessively dwelled on President Xi Jinping’s third term, as if nothing else was of note or as if President Xi is…
