Where Imagination Lives in Your Brain

The ability to conjure up possible futures or alternative realities is the flip side of memory. Both faculties cohabit in the brain region called the hippocampus
June 8, 2023
Henry Molaison, known for years as “H.M.,” was famously unable to form new memories. If someone he had met left the room only to return several minutes later, he would greet that person again as if for the first time. Because of surgery to treat intractable epilepsy, H M. lacked a sea-horse-shaped brain structure called the hippocampus and had amnesia. His case helped establish the hippocampus as an engine of memory.

A War Long Wanted: Diplomatic Malpractice in Ukraine

June 9, 2023
Author’s Note: This is the original draft of the letter to President Biden and the US Congress published in The New York Times on May 16 by the Eisenhower Media Network. This version, which is substantially longer than the published letter, is published here amended from its original formatting as a group letter. This version goes into much greater depth on the background of Russia’s invasion, the role of the military-industrial complex and the fossil fuel industry in US policy-making, and speaks to the toxic and dangerous diplomatic malpractice that has dominated US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.

نگرشی به آینده

عتیقه‌جات، ماشین‌ و مبلمان کلاسیک، سنت، ضرب‌المثل قدیمی، یاد قدیما به خیر، رسوم قدیم، و بسیاری از عناوین دیگر که محافظه‌کاری را القا می‌کنند با عباراتی مانند نو، آینده‌اندیشی، فکر فردا باش، گذشته بر نگشته، مدرنیسم و آینده‌نگر مخالف هستند. ما روزانه از این زبان عامیانه استفاده می کنیم، غافل از اینکه در حال القأ یک نوع طرز فکر هستیم. ما می دانیم که تغییر تنها با تفکر رو به جلو امکان پذیر است، اما آیا این بدان معناست که باید گذشته را رها کنیم و هرگز به گذشته نگاه نکنیم؟ا

دموکراسی ایالات متحده برای کشورهای دیکتاتوری

دولت‌های غربی با مردم کشورهای استعمار زده، مانند مردم کشور ما، از دمکراسی سخن می‌گویند، و اینکه چگونه مردم آنها از این آزادی فردی و اساسی و پایه‌ای برخوردارند و آنرا پاس میدارند. یکی از راه‌های بررسی این ادعا، بررسی قوانین اساسی دولت‌های غربی است. تا آنجا که به دموکراسی مربوط می شود، قانون اساسی ایالات متحده به عنوان بهترین قانون اساسی نوشته شده در بین تمام کشورهای غربی شناخته شده است. بنابراین، آغاز خوبی خواهد بود که نگرشی به قانون اساسی ایالات متحده بی‌اندازیم و با آن آشنا شویم، به خصوص که سران این کشور در هر موقعیتی آنرا ذکر میکنند و از سیستم‌های وحشیانه و غیر دمکراتیک در آفریقا و خاورمیانه انتقاد میکنند. در اینصورت، قانون اساسی آمریکا را از روز نخست پیگیری می‌کنیم تا به ارزش‌های آن پی ببریم.ا

افسانهٔ خورشید

یکی‌ بود یکی‌ نبود، غیر از خلأ هیچی‌ نبود. بعد مهبانگ دنیا را فرا گرفت، و ستاره‌ها و سیاره‌ها و زمین و حیات و زندگی‌ و گیاه و حیوان و انسان، که یکی‌ یکی‌ به وجود آمدند، و انسانها شهر‌ها را ساختند. یکی‌ از این شهر‌ها، شهری بود خورشید نام که همیشه پر از گل و گیاه و درخت و میوه‌های مختلف بود. کمی‌ پائین‌تر، جائی که آخرین خانه‌های شهر به چشم میخوردند، جنگل شروع میشد، که این جنگل تا پائین کوه ادامه داشت. از عجایب این شهر اینکه آن قسمتی‌ از  کوه که خانه‌ها دور تا دور بالای آن ساخته شده بودند، از جنگل خبری نبود، و آنجایی که آخرین خانه‌های شهر قرار داشتند، جنگل شروع میشد. از پائین تپه به نظر میامد که خانه‌ها از وسط جنگل سیخکی بیرون زده بودند.
