  • How do Greens see the economy?

    “Whether you call it capitalism, industrialism, socialism, liberalism or communism, every national economy in the world is based on the belief that more consumption is inevitably and incontrovertibly a Good Thing” [Green Party (1989) Don’t let your world turn grey. European Election Manifesto, London: Green Party E&W] Greens often propose an integrated approach to multiple…

  • Bis-software jew le n-nuqqas ta’ infurzar il-problema prinċipali

    Mid-dehra l-ittri ‘AI’ – intelliġenza artifiċjali – saru buzzword. Artiklu fit-timesofmalta jgħid li se jintuża software ‘AI powered’ biex jqabbel id-dħul, l-assi, u informazzjoni oħra ta’ persuni mad-dikjarazzjoni tad-dħul tagħhom biex il-gvern jiskopri aktar faċilment min qed jevadi t-taxxa. Bażikament għandi nifhem li das-software janalizza informazzjoni li diġa għandu aċċess għaliha l-gvern, ovvjament b’mod aktar…

  • ADPD DISKUSSJONI – Ralph Cassar u Mario Mallia jiddiskutu ġrajjiet kurrenti

  • Sandro Mangion tal-ONE News manipulatur u giddieb

    Ilum deher artiklu ta’ Carmel Cacopardo fl-Independent li fost affarijiet oħra fih jgħid li s-sussidji fuq l-elettriku għandhom ikunu fuq konsum essenzjali biss. Min juża aktar milli huwa ġust u essenzjali għandu jħallas il-prezz sħiħ tiegħu. Dan ovvjament għax jagħmle sens li dak li jiddeċiedi li jaħli ma nibilgħux il-kont tiegħu aħna. Imma fi storja…

  • The shoddy low-standard coalition

    I have written quite frequently about the attitude ‘don’t rock the boat’ some, or rather most Maltese politicians in office have. This attitude came to the fore again when the Nationalist and Labour MEPs present for the vote once again became allies in opposing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in the European Parliament. Labour…

  • The Paradox of Tolerance

    Sharing this, it came to my attention because it was posted on a friend’s Facebook profile. I had come across Karl Popper’s ideas as a philosopher of science when studying modules on science and society, and science education a while ago. I wasn’t aware of his ‘paradox of tolerance’ idea. Karl Popper’s argument should make…

  • Il-balbuljata dwar il-ktieb ‘storiku’ dwar Hitler

    Ikolli ngħid li ta’ spiss immur nara x’hemm ġdid fuq l-ixkafef tal-ħwienet tal-kotba. Hemm ħanut tas-Sliema (u ieħor tal-istess ditta, Blata-l-Bajda) li huwa armat mhux ħażin. Drabi oħra immur ħanut viċin tiegħi ta’ chain prinċipali, ħafna anqas kotba, għax il-biċċa l-kbira bestsellers, rivisti, kartolini u stationery ikollu, imma l-ixkafef tal-kotba pubblikati Malta pjuttost mimlija jkunu.…
