Turbulent politics, stable science, relevant ethics
The U.S.’ choice of Donald Trump has greatly troubled the international order. Turbulence in world politics includes many efforts to displace rational discourse about science and in particular environmental problems by ignorant or populist assertions. Consumerism has dissolved many standards, but ethics remain crucial to socio-economic life and politics

Burn out
This is a disturbing book. The very idea of an endgame is that some kind of logic will prevail; e.g. chess follows rules. The idea that the U.S. has now displaced Saudi Arabia by ending its need fo

The trouble with arguments about animal rights is that rights in the operative sense are an outgrowth of the human consciousness as the French Revolution identified rights for all citizens (women h

Some reflexions on mycotoxicosis (an introduction)
With savages the difficulty of obtaining subsistence occasionally limits their number in a much more direct manner than with civilised people, for all tribes periodically suffer from severe famines. At such times savages are forced to devour much bad food, and their health can hardly fail to be injured. Many accounts have been published of their protruding stomachs and emaciated limbs after and during famines
On social coherence and the new towns
One cause of social unrest is the constant acquaintance of people with themselves; an acquaintance which seldom becomes true knowledge. There is no escape from people. They are a continuous pressure on each would‐be individual, a continuous threat to his space, his property, his life, his freedom. They also demand the same resources as he needs and they tend to waste them in as prodigal a fashion. All the deadly sins are more venomous in a massiv…
The Waste and Spoilage of Food
Science, values and the social future
Cultural unity depends on the acceptance of value systems. Science, one of the Two Cultures, has seemed to replace value systems and become the whole of culture. But science is being re‐shaped together with its partner. Education should reflect cultural unity, but even interdisciplinary work is restricted by an exaggeration of the role of science. Social psychology impinges on both cultures. Current trends to maximise the last profits of the Indu…

Energy and ethics
The justification of nuclear energy is said to be exponential energy need. Demand is not the same as need; and justice is not self‐interest. Risk assessment methods seem to be pre‐determined by the objectives of energy‐obsessed technocrats. The vulnerability of man and the environment will be increased by nuclear expansion. Energy is a real problem. It takes other forms than electrification and other answers are possible
