مفهوم زندگی‌

 هوشیاریِ ما نسبت به محیط اطرافمان ما را بر آن می‌دارد که هر لحظه در هر آنچه که به ما مربوط می‌شود تغییری دهیم تا آنرا برای زندگی‌ خود مساعد‌تر سازیم. بدین منظور به طبیعت دست می‌بریم؛ به رود‌ها سدّ می‌زنیم و تپه‌ها را هموار می‌کنیم و گیاهان را رشد می‌دهیم و حیوانات را اهلی می‌کنیم، و بر هر آنچه جهان فیزیکی‌ را برای ما قابل زندگی‌تر می‌کند تغییری می‌دهیم.ا

Robert W. McChesney (1952–2025): A Personal and Political-Intellectual Memoir

      December 6, 2025
John Bellamy Foster
Robert (Bob) Waterman McChesney and I met each other in September 1973, within days of his arrival at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, where I had been studying for two years. Bob was 21 and I had just turned 20. We immediately became fast friends. Bob had grown up in a conservative environment in suburban Cleveland, where his father, Samuel Parker McChesney, sold advertising for This Week magazine. His mother Edna (Meg) McChesney (née McCorkle) was a nurse but left nursing to become a homemaker before he was born. After attending high school at Pomfret, a private boarding (prep) school in Connecticut, he enrolled in college at Antioch in Ohio, transferring from there to Evergreen.

طبیعت چهار موسم یا فصل دارد و تاریخ ما ایرانیان با موسم بهار آغاز می‌شود. در سنجش با تاریخ‌های میلادی و اسلامی و سایر تاریخ‌ها، شاید بتوان گفت که تاریخ ما ایرانیان که آغاز آن نخستین روز بهار است، بهترین و ارزشمند‌ترین تاریخ است. نخستین روز سال خورشیدی، همزمان با زایش گیاهان و حتی گونه‌هائی از حیوانات است. می‌توانیم این تاریخ را با تاریخ‌های دیگر بسنجیم تا ارزش آنرا درک کنیم.ا

Robert Hunziker
The United States of America was unofficially represented at COP30, the annual UN climate conference (November 10-21) in Belem, Brazil by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). He was not granted the privilege of officially representing the U.S. The State Department refused to facilitate his trip, refused to acknowledge the senator as a representative of a congressional delegation, refusing to acknowledge COP30, refusing to acknowledge global warming. This is the first time in Senator Whitehouse’s career that the executive branch of government has dictated a congressional member’s CODEL (Congressional Delegation paid trip for members).

تنکس‌گیوینگ دی یا روز شکرگذاری

آیا ما انسان‌ها هوشمندترین موجودات در این کهکشان هستیم؟ ما شخصی‌ مانند ستفن هاکینگ را داشتیم که هفت سال پیش فوت کرد، و گرچه اکثر هفتاد و شش سال عمرش را با بیماری کشنده‌ای به سر برد، ولی‌ به عنوان یکی‌ از بزرگ‌ترین نوابغ جهان شناخته شده است. بسیاری از نقاط جهان فیزیکی‌ ما هنوز کشف نشده باقی‌ مانده‌ا‌ند، بخصوص کهکشان‌ها، کرات و سیارات دیگر. ولی‌ این را می‌دانیم که بر روی کرهٔ زمین، ما انسان‌ها خود را از کلیهٔ موجودات دیگر باهوش‌تر می‌دانیم. گرچه، با توجه به تسلیحات نظامی که صرفا برای کشتار انسان‌ها و صدمه زدن به طبیعت اختراع می‌شوند و گسترش می‌یابند، میزان هوش و دانش ما انسان‌ها زیر پرسش قرار می‌گیرد.ا
