- Can you judge how people would handle power by how they handle the comments sections of their blogs? 5th September 2025I recently had to dig through pages of Hopefully Anonymous’ blog in the Internet Archive in order to find this post. As noted recently, TypePad’s disappearance means that will be the only way to access it. As I’d rather not have to repeat that, I have decided to copy his post below, which I acknowledge […]teageegeepea

- To Critical Race Theory, or not to Critical Race Theory? 5th July 2021Like the uncollapsed quantum state holding Schrodinger’s cat in a state of simultaneous life and death, whether a school is “teaching critical race theory” or not seems to depend entirely on whether the inquiring person wants them to. Are you anti-CRT? Then, you may rest assured, American schools most certainly aren’t teaching CRT. (If you […]evolutiontheorist

- Review: Lawrence in Arabia 10th June 2021Scott Anderson’s Lawrence in Arabia is, quite obviously, about the famous T. E. Lawrence “of” Arabia. The book ranges significantly wider than Lawrence’s personal account, however, shifting between the perspectives of Ottoman officials, German spies, American spies, Zionist spies, and of course British spies.
