| Description: | I agree with T.H. Huxley that "[t]he foundation of morality is to ... give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibilities of knowledge." In order for the human animal to live most effectively into the future, it must understand its biological and cultural development in its personal, social, cultural, biotic, earthly, and universal environment. This undertaking, though vast, must come about by the systematic exploration of everything available to us - from where our food comes from to the space shuttle, from cave painting to heavy metal, from ancient religion to modern science - and no assumption should remain unchecked no matter how popular or seemingly obvious. |

Metal Post! Black metal revisited
Cold. Dark. Fjords. Glaciers. Lutefisk. Cross country skiing. Good socialized medicine and welfare. Happy people despite cold and darkness. When lots of us think of Norway that's what we think.But one of its biggest cultural exports is so-called "black metal" - a form of extreme metal growing from 80s thrash, proto-black metal, and death metal that centralized themes of wild nature, animist spirituality, and/or Satan. Last year I did a post about the Norwegian black metal band Emperor that includes a lot of

A poem by Mary Oliver
The Summer DayBy Mary Oliver Who made the world?Who made the swan, and the black bear?Who made the grasshopper?This grasshopper, I mean--the one who has flung herself out of the grass,the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down--who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.I don't know exactly what a prayer is.I do know how to pay attention, how to fall downinto the grass, how to kneel down in the

Confluence of fun! Comfort comes when there is a lecture on teaching creationism
This is too good to be true. On the day that Comfort's and Cameron's no-talent retrograde moron show comes to campus to sling lowest-common-denominator mud about evolution, two professors from Penn State's own political science department will be lecturing on what biology teachers actually teach, who influences what's taught, and how this plays out politically. Come on out!
