Well the chill is finally in back in the air and the leaves are starting their annual metamorphosis from verdant green to those amazing shades of yellow, gold, orange, rust, crimson, red, and brown. The Blog Wyrm staff had an opportunity to do some driving this week and what we saw was a spectacular demonstration of the subtle beauty of nature. Thousands of trees and millions of leaves pay silent, splendid homage to the wonder that is the natural world. We were left with a profound respect to the gentle but irrepressible way that life moves around us. Truly awe-inspiring.
Speaking of awe-inspiring, we would like to believe that our weekly columns are awe-inspiring but we really are just hoping that they are thought provoking and enjoyable.
Common Cents takes a long look at a doom-laden prophesy but one of the better-known economists of modern times, Lawrence Summers, and finds that he may be right about how to fix the global economy but for all the wrong reasons.
Aristotle to Digital introduces a new ongoing theme in its scope on philosophy, computing, and logic. The subject is the philosophically tricky concept of double effect. The lens through which it is examined, the detective story.
Finally, About Comics examines the curious re-launch of two of comics most famous magicians: DC’s John Constantine and Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Oddly enough, the advertising copy of both books seems to have been written by the same agency with both of them emphasizing that ‘magic has a cost’. Read and find out why?
Enjoy!
