Monday, June 30th, 2008Top Billing! Although it may be bad form to cite blogs I am part of here, they just happened to mesh together thematically on thinking historically on the same day. These are really good, meaty posts that complement one another well even though they come from the Left and the Right. John Jay’s post will also interest those concerned with 4GW:
Progressive Historians (Jeremy Young) – Historians and the Gospel of Professionalism and Toward a “History that Does Work in the World”
Chicago Boyz ( John Jay) The MSM Misses the Bout: Part I , The MSM Misses the Bout: Part II and The MSM Misses the Bout: Part III
I am going to have to go back later and add comments at the site when I’ve finished writing my own posts tonight.

Kinda theory-heavy but without some deep thought and conversation, terms like IO will continue function primarily as conceptual “magic cloud” umbrellas that obscure more differences than they reveal.
Global Guerillas – AUTOMATING HIERARCHY?
Please note the comment by networks expert Valdis Krebs
Soob – What to do about Zimbabwe? Nothing.
There would be a certain innoculation effect here in Zimbabweans against future cretinous “Big Man” nationalism.
Eide Neurolearning Blog – Out of the Box Thinking
This cliche has physical analogs
AFJ – From red to green The rise of jihadism in Russia by DMITRY SHLAPENTOKH
That’s it!
ADDENDUM:
Late add here, very good piece by Michael Tanji:
Haft of the Spear – deeper than technology
ADDENDUM II:
I’m in good company.
