Why We Die-And How We Can Live Longer, with Nobel Laureate Venki Ramakrishnan

They’re perhaps the oldest questions in the science: Why do we die? And could we find a way to live forever? But for decades, anti-aging research was a “backwater” of the scientific community, consider too fanciful and unrealistic. That is until the last few years. Modern advances in biology have taught us a lot about how we age and why we die-could that knowledge help us turn back the clock? I...

Where Has Alzheimer’s Research Gone Wrong? with Karl Herrup

For more than a century, scientists have been studying Alzheimer’s disease and developing theories about its underlying cause. The leading theory for decades has been that abnormal amyloid plaques in the brains of those who suffer from the disease are the central cause. But, according one renowned Alzheimer’s researcher, this myopic focus is not only flawed, but may be holding back our search f...

    Before you become too swayed by Mearsheimer's bizarre position, it may be worth considering several holes in his arguments. To name just a few: 1) He talks of former Eastern Bloc countries being enticed by the West to join NATO without any mention of the terrible conditions and oppression those countries experienced under Soviet rule and their consequent desire to protect themselves from future Russian domination. Let's face it, no one was trying to flee from West Germany to East Germany. It was always the other way around. That tells you a lot as to why countries in eastern Europe wanted to join NATO once they had the chance. 2) He's virtually an apologist for Vladimir Putin somehow conflating Putin's psychopathy with sensible Russian foreign policy. 3) At 23:17 he says Putin is too smart to try to conquer Ukraine; "that's not going to happen" he predicts. Well, history has proven him to be wildly wrong. For some odd reason, it seems he likes to give Putin the benefit of the doubt. 4) He defends Russia's invasion of Ukraine as being an understandable response to the threat of NATO expansion, yet he condemns Israel's invasion of Gaza even though Israel was not simply threatened by it's neighbour, it was actually attacked. Regardless of where one stands on the war in Gaza, those two positions contradict each other. Sometimes intellectual outliers see a truth that others can't or prefer not to. And sometimes they're outliers because what they say doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    Every time I try to do diligent research into major geopolitical events I come to find that the US is almost always the villain behind the scenes. It's not easy to find the truth through a constant barrage of pro-American/Western propaganda regarding every event we're involved with. It's always a black and white issue, the US and it's allies are the good guys while everyone else is the bad guys, it never changes. It makes it hard to be a patriotic American when my country just keeps trying to further it's own means without any genuine human regard to the consequences on other cultures and peoples.

    Pakistan, it has been said, is an army with an attached state. This book goes further and aims to prove that Pakistan is a corrupt army with a corrupt attached state and that the two are hand-in-glove with each other in the business of plundering and parasitizing the unfortunate common people of that unfortunate country. To a significant extent, this book achieves its aims. The central concept of the book is that of “Milbus”, which is supposed to be a contraction of “Military Business” and is defined (p. 5) as “military capital used for the personal benefit of the military fraternity…not recorded as part of the defence budget… controlled by the military…” It is an inelegant term which might be better replaced with “Milicon” (Military Economy), which would align more neatly with the subtitle of the book. The book narrates the chronology of the army’s dominant, and now domineering, position within Pakistani society. The story begins with the first Kashmir war in 1947-49, when the Pakistan Army, weak though it was in the aftermath of Partition, was nevertheless successful in blocking Indian attempts to force a military solution to the Kashmir dispute. A senior Pakistani officer, Major General Fazal Muqeem Khan, proudly stated that “only the Army prevented Pakistan from being wiped off the face of the map.” The confidence engendered by this achievement enabled the army to project itself as the nation’s savior, which in turn allowed it to treat Pakistani politicians as co-equals rather than as civilian superiors. A cascade of events was initiated that culminated in the outright takeover of the government in 1958 by Ayub Khan. After that, there was no stopping the military. It had tasted absolute power and was thereby corrupted absolutely. It started acquiring land by means both legal and illegal, ostensibly for the provision of retirement benefits for its soldiers, but in reality for the enrichment of the officer cadre and especially the senior generals. The book details how the subsequent military takeovers of 1977 and 1999 led to the military extending its tentacles into virtually every sector of the economy, but especially the real estate sector. Military officers have now become part of the landed gentry, and indeed now form a self-righteous social and economic class which deals contemptuously with any attempts by civilians to rein it in. It boasts of providing more efficient services through its many companies and subsidiaries, but this book demonstrates that evidence for these claims is thin indeed, largely because of the utter opaqueness of any accountability protocols. This is one of the book’s strengths. The book is weakest in its recounting of the history of the events leading up to the outbreak of civil war in East Pakistan in March 1971. The author does not take to task the Bangladeshi leader Mujibur Rahman for his divisive and muckraking rhetoric between 1966 and 1971, not only against West Pakistan but also against Urdu-speaking people in East Pakistan (commonly known as Biharis). The latter formed 20% of the population of the eastern wing but Mujibur Rahman’s Awami League (erroneously referred to as the Awami National Party on p. 89) launched a campaign of atrocities against them throughout March 1971. This precipitated the brutal army crack-down on March 25 (not March 15 as erroneously stated on p. 90). The Urdu-speaking population of Bangladesh is now minuscule, and it would have been intellectually honest of the author, and added to her credibility as an academic, if she could have brought herself to admit that Bangladesh was the product of the Awami League’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of the non-Bengali minority. Other blind spots in the book are related to the author’s academic training in the West. She takes for granted the superiority of Western “democracy” and the “free-market economy” but this book was first published in 2007 (postscript added in 2017 and riddled with grammatical errors), and it would be interesting to know what she now thinks of the current parlous state of democracy in the US and of the economy in the UK. More alarming is her thinly-veiled belief that pressure from the US to bring about reforms within Pakistan is both desirable and to be encouraged. This attitude, which apparently is unmoved by the abject failure of the US to do any nation-building in Iraq or Afghanistan, needs to be condemned in the strongest possible terms, because it simply feeds into the popular Pakistani delusion that there is an international conspiracy against their country. The book has a wonderfully comical cover photograph of a Pakistani soldier on parade, with a very Punjabi face and a very military mustache. Its diagrams are quite basic and could have used larger fonts and some colors. After reading three hundred pages about the greed, avarice, and high-handedness of senior Pakistani officers, one is left wondering how long such corruption can last, and what that means for a military that is armed with nuclear weapons. Joe Biden is said to have remarked that this makes Pakistan “the most dangerous country in the world” (this was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza). I wouldn’t worry too much, Joe: The evidence provided in this book offers a simple solution: Just tell the Pakistani generals that they can have all the land they want, and all the places at Harvard and Oxford that their offspring want, and they will surrender their nukes without a fight, just like they surrendered East Pakistan.
