Gradience, Marginal Cases, and the Problem of 3I/ATLAS
“Naturgemälde” illustration. Bonpland, Aimé and Alexander von Humboldt The Danger of Categorising to the Norm by Phil Hall Human cognition relies on prototypes—idealised examples that define categories (Rosch 1975). A prototypical comet, for instance, exhibits outgassing, a dusty coma, and a visible tail. But when an object deviates from this template—as with 3I/ATLAS—scientists face…

We are Orphans: the Grown-Ups are not in Charge
photo Dipak Chattri Pexels Elites in our Societies are Ruthless, Spoiled & Deranged by Philip Hall When we see the heads of Europe and European Union act like apologists for Israeli genocide egging us on to World War Three and Mark Rutte sucking up to Donald Trump sarcastically calling Trump ‘Daddy’ and Bezos going…

The Schiller Institute & German Revanchism
Otto Von Bismarck. Illustration Evert Duykinck A mature, unified Europe must embrace its German-French core by Philip Hall German revanchism is quite justifiable. Europe must unite under German-French leadership to achieve true independence and strength. The Schiller Institute’s core proposition—though marred by bitterness and a personality cult—correctly identifies Germany as the key to a…

Mobilise, don’t alienate!
Palestine Solidarity Campaign march, photo Phil Hall Palestine Action is Leading Activists into a Dangerous Backwater by Richard Steinhardt The streets of Britain are full of outrage about Israel’s genocidal actions; crimes of a magnitude unseen since the German fascists destroyed the Warsaw Ghetto, and attempted to exterminate all the people who they defined…

Jacqueline Kennedy, photo Toni Frissell Library of Congress 1957 Jackie Kennedy, Before and After by Norman B.

2. Out Of The Fryer
David Yip at 16, photo David Yip by David Yip It’s 1986—the year of the Chernobyl disaster, the Iran-Contra affair, and Halley’s Comet passing through the inner solar system. It is also the year I drop out of school, aged 15, leaving with no exam results. Not so much a world event, but a…

The Broken Banker
Man in a Blue Suit, Photo by Nicola Barts Pexels by Charles Dean For me, writing is therapy. It’s comfort. Freedom. I can write about anything—everything. I can create, destroy, rebuild. I can make my characters laugh, cry, dream. It’s something I can’t always do in real life. Writing is the only place where…
