A meditation, on Psalm 2
Psalm 2 gives interesting context to the political storms of any given day: Psalm 2: The Reign of the LORD’s Anointed 1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” 7 I will tell of the Read More ›

Happy 4th everyone! To which I responded that I agree wholeheartedly. But I would add that both of the quotations have context that is essential.

All politics is downstream from culture. Culture is downstream from shared views about fundamental metaphysical ideas. And ideas about the existence of God are the Read More ›
Video on Measuring Active Information in Biology
Early this year BIO-Complexity published a paper of mine titled “Measuring Active Information in Biological Systems” which showed how some ID concepts such as Active Information can be directly applied to biology. Essentially, it seems that in some situations, organisms direct their own mutations/evolution. This has not always been noticed because we don’t have a good measurement for when this happens. Active Information helps to fill that role. Anyway, this is a video I made describing the paper and the thinking behind it. Also, if you need background of why we should think that organisms direct their own mutations in the first place, see this video:
