Unlike Charles Darwin and Claude Bernard, who endure as heroes in England and France, Emil du Bois-Reymond is generally forgotten in Germany — no streets bear his name, no stamps portray his image, no celebrations are held in his honor, and no collections of his essays remain in print. Most Germans have never heard of him, and if they have, they generally assume that he was Swiss. But it wasn't always this way. Du Bois-Reymond was once lauded as "the foremost naturalist of Europe," "the last of the encyclopedists," and "one of the greatest scientists Germany ever produced." Contemporaries celebrated him for his research in neuroscience and his addresses on science and culture; in fact, the poet Jules Laforgue reported seeing his picture hanging for sale in German shop windows alongside those of...

Excavations at Mendik Tepe, a prehistoric site in southeastern Türkiye, are advancing rapidly and may reveal evidence older than Göbekli Tepe, the UNESCO World Heritage site widely regarded as the "zero point of history." Professor Douglas Baird of the University of Liverpool's Department of Archaeology, who leads the excavation, reported that structures of different sizes have been uncovered: "Were the smaller buildings used for storage or food preparation? Could the medium-sized ones, around 4-5 meters, have served as houses? And were the larger buildings constructed for ritual purposes? One large structure, with its meticulous stonework, strongly suggests ritual significance." According to Baird, the finds suggest Mendik Tepe dates back to the very beginnings of the Neolithic period.

🏛️ Unaudited power: The military budget nobody controls
The U.S. federal debt has now passed $37 trillion and is growing at the rate of $1 trillion every five months. Interest on the debt exceeds $1 trillion annually, second only to Social Security in the federal budget. The military outlay is also close to $1 trillion, consuming nearly half of the discretionary budget. As a sovereign nation, the United States could avoid debt altogether by simply paying for the budget deficit with Treasury-issued "Greenbacks," as Abraham Lincoln's government did. But I have written on that before (see here and here), so this article will focus on that other elephant in the room, the Department of Defense. Under the Constitution, the military budget should not be paid at all, because the Pentagon has never passed an audit. Expenditures of public funds without a public accounting violate Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution, which provides: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a...

Germany's declaration to stop sending weapons to Israel: symbolic gesture or major shift? While German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's announcement on Friday, August 8 to halt arms deliveries to Israel grabbed international headlines as a shocking policy reversal, the declaration's fine print tells a different story. What appeared to be a major shift in Germany's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza may prove largely symbolic, with crucial loopholes that allow German companies to continue to profit from the atrocities in Gaza. The devil lies in the details that most media coverage overlooked. According to media organization Jung und Naiv, the government's statement apparently applies only to future contracts, leaving existing export permits uncanceled — a crucial caveat also noted by Oded Yaron in Haaretz. This means the vast majority of German weapons flowing to Israel will continue uninterrupted. Merz qualified his statement by saying only weapons used in Gaza would be stopped,...

Officials warned of large cinders falling across a near-2 mile radius from the volcano, which sits in the Kirishima mountain range on Kyushu, a large southern island of Japan. They urged people to be vigilant in Kobayashi City, Kogen Town, and Kirishima City, issuing eruption warnings across the affected area. The eruption was recorded by the Fukuoka Regional Meteorological Observatory and Kagoshima Local Meteorological Observatory at 4:53 a.m. local time on Thursday. They said the eruption appeared to have ended at 14:50 p.m. local time. During field surveys, authorities recorded that ash fall had been heavy enough to obscure road markings.
