Cynicism - Ancient Wisdom for a...

Hector Davidson

Cynicism, as a philosophical movement, originated in ancient Greece during the 4th century BCE. It emerged in response to the growing complexity of Greek social and political life, which many perceived as rife with corruption and moral decay. The movement sought to critique and challenge these structures through a radical reevaluation of values. The term "Cynicism" itself derives from the Greek word kynikos, meaning "dog-like," a reflection of the movement's provocative and unconventional practices, often likened to the traits of a dog—independent, shameless, and straightforward.
The seeds of Cynicism were planted by Antisthenes, a devoted student of Socrates. Rejecting the materialism and social constructs of his time, Antisthenes advocated for a life rooted in virtue as the highest good. He proposed that virtue was attainable through rigorous self-discipline and liberation from societal expectations. In his view, wealth, power, and social status were distractions that led individuals away from true happiness. Antisthenes' emphasis on asceticism laid the groundwork for Cynicism's core principles.
Diogenes of Sinope, the most iconic figure in Cynicism, brought the philosophy to life through his dramatic and often confrontational actions. Renowned for his extreme asceticism, he discarded conventional comforts and famously lived in a large ceramic jar, owning only a few possessions. Diogenes used his lifestyle as a form of social critique, questioning the moral foundations of his contemporaries. His legendary act of walking through the city with a lit lantern during the day, claiming to search for an honest man, remains a potent symbol of his scorn for societal hypocrisy and moral pretense. Diogenes embodied the Cynic ideal: a life of radical honesty, self-sufficiency, and rejection of superficial values.

Virtual Searches - Regulating...

Christopher Slobogin

A host of technologies—including digital cameras, drones, facial recognition devices, night-vision binoculars, automated license plate readers, GPS, geofencing, DNA matching, datamining, and artificial intelligence—have enabled police to carry out much of their work without leaving the office or squad car, in ways that do not easily fit the traditional physical search and seizure model envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Virtual Searches develops a useful typology for sorting through this bewildering array of old, new, and soon-to-arrive policing techniques. It then lays out a framework for regulating their use that expands the Fourth Amendment's privacy protections without blindly imposing its warrant requirement, and that prioritizes democratic over judicial policymaking. 
 
 
 
The coherent regulatory regime developed in Virtual Searches ensures that police are held accountable for their use of technology without denying them the increased efficiency it provides in their efforts to protect the public. Whether policing agencies are pursuing an identified suspect, constructing profiles of likely perpetrators, trying to find matches with crime scene evidence, collecting data to help with these tasks, or using private companies to do so, this book provides a template for ensuring their actions are constitutionally legitimate and responsive to the polity.

Geronimo - The Influential...

Kelly Mass

Geronimo, a legendary Apache leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band, played a pivotal role in resisting Mexican and American military forces during the 19th century. Between 1850 and 1886, he worked with warriors from three other Chiricahua Apache bands—Tchihende, Tsokanende, and Nednhi—to carry out daring raids and resist encroachments on Apache lands. Their campaigns spanned northern Mexico, including the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, and the southwestern territories of the United States, particularly New Mexico and Arizona.  
This era of conflict was part of the broader Apache–United States struggle, which arose after American colonization of Apache territories following the conclusion of the U.S.-Mexico War in 1848. For the Apaches, life on government-imposed reservations clashed with their fiercely independent spirit and traditional nomadic lifestyle. Geronimo emerged as a key figure leading resistance against these constraints. Despite his reputation, Geronimo was not a chief of the Chiricahua or Bedonkohe bands. However, his exceptional skills as a leader in raids and warfare earned him the loyalty of many Apache warriors, often commanding between 30 and 50 fighters at a time.

Amit Schandillia

The 1911 Delhi Durbar was the third and the last, and a very special one. It was an event of many historical firsts—the first time Delhi took over from Calcutta as India's capital, the first time a reigning British monarch visited India in person, and the first time an Indian king openly defied the British monarch outside of a war. The king in question was Sayajirao Gaekwad. From here onwards, his story was a story of defiance and insubordination with the most cautious mix of diplomacy. How did he manage that? Listen here!
