Homer's epic poem features Thespian sensibilities. A tragedy between two heroes destined to die- such is the nature of war. Vainglorious Greeks fought the Trojans. One hero died for the sake of honor and glory. His "enemy": a prince who fell defending his land. The unrequited rivalry was heart-rendering... Transcendental.

Afrika Bambaataa, Dead at 68
Pioneer and alleged pedophile, Afrika Bambaataa is no more. Though he lost in a civil suit against a man who said Bambaataa molested him when he was twelve years old, no criminal charges ever surfaced against the rap trailblazer and supposed pervert.

VEDAS, UPANISHADS AND WESTERN PHILOSOPHY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
The Encounter of East and West as a Philosophical Problem The encounter between Indian and Western philosophy is one of the most fascinating yet most perilous undertakings in the history of philosophy. Fascinating because the two traditions — independently developed in different historical and cultural contexts — display surprising convergences that cannot be interpreted as accidental: they seem to touch something common in the deeper structure of human thought and experience. Perilous because superficial similarity can mislead: different concepts bearing similar names, different practices aimed at analogous ends, different world-views articulated through comparable conceptual schemas. Alexis Karpouzos stands in this encounter in a particular way: he neither seeks synthesis nor establishes opposition — he moves diagonally, drawing from both traditions without belonging exclusively to either, recognising in each a fragmentary wholeness of the Wandering Truth. The analysis that follows is not a historical-philosophical survey — it is an analysis in tension: each tradition is placed in full dialogue with the other two, and the convergences and divergences reveal different aspects of the same foundational philosophical question.

“I told you we were going too far off trail,” said Clark. “I thought Ammon said he could read a compass,” said Kit. “Guys, it’s easy, we just need to find a river or stream and follow it. Those things always lead to civilization,” Ammon said and pushed through thick patch of bushes.
