Political and cultural commentary based on a world view shaped by the works of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Averroes, Maimonides, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Sartre and Bertrand Russell "What is the use of studying philosophy if all that it does for you is to enable you to talk with some plausibility about some abstruse questions of logic, etc., and if it does not improve your thinking about the important questions of everyday life, if it does not make you more conscientious."-Wittgenstein

PUTIN'S POPULARITY AT LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2022!!!
On 6/27/2026 the New York Times [all the news that's fit to print] informed us that “A survey by the pollster FOM, published on Friday, found the Russian leader’s approval hitting its lowest level since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.’ It didn't inform us what that rating was. It was 73%.
The reason we didn't get the percentage of approval is, probably, because in other reporting of politicians getting the support of 73% of their populations the Times has indicated that is a tremendous level of popularity; it has used the term ‘a landslide’ victory when a politician has won an election by 73%. Reports about Putin, however, must always be negative. Our own president, by the way, has a current popularity rating of 40.5%. This also indicates a significant minority of Americans are suffering from possible brain death.
