Freedom Without Security Portends Chaos,

There Are, By The Most Conservative Counting, Two Grave And Deeply Regrettable Collateral Victims Of The Peer-review Gruesome Stratagem: One Is The Daring Of Thought (wished-washed To The Lowest Common Denominator), And The Other Is The Individuality, As Well As The Responsibility, Of Editors (those Seeking Shelter Behind The Anonymity Of "peers", But In Fact Dissolved In It, In Many Cases Without A Trace).

Freedom Without Security Portends Chaos, Perpetual Anxiety And Fear.

I Suspect That The Peer-review System Carries A Good Part Of Blame For The Fact That Something Like Sixty Percent Or More Of Journal Articles Are Never Quoted (which Means Leaving No Trace On Our Joint Scholarly Pursuits), And (in My Reception At Any Rate) The "learned Journals" (with A Few Miraculous Exceptions That Entail, Prominently, Tcs) Ooze Monumental Boredom.

Our Consumer-oriented Economy Wouldn't Survive Without Economic Growth. The Whole Mechanism Depends On Invention And Insinuation Of Novelties, Arousing New Wants, Seduction And Temptation. This Is The Problem We Face - Much More Than Recapitalizing The Banks. The Question Is: Is That Kind Of Economy Sustainable?

I Worry About The Israeli Moral Standard, Israeli Humanity.
