Atheism and Libertarianism 12: Who Watches the Watchmen?
With religion, it #39;s priests and holy texts. With statism, it #39;s politicians and bureaucrats and police and laws. The problem is, you can #39;t have an infinite or circular succession of watchers...

Douglas Carswell Wins Clacton for Ukip: Are You a Libertarian? [POLL]

Posted: at 1:43 pm

Douglas Carswell, a libertarian, won the Clacton-on-Sea by-election after defecting from the Conservatives to Ukip(Reuters)

This is the Dawn of the Libertarian. Young people just don't love the state in the same way their parents and grandparents did.

Generation Y, the under-thirties, is far more liberal than past generations. If the polls are to be believed, they are the most liberal generation in Britain's history. In both social and economic senses: they believe not just in drug decriminalisation, but lower taxes too.

"We do not pretend to know what is best for everyone, and so we feel that decisions are ideally taken by the persons directly affected by them," said Mark S. Feldner, president of Cambridge Libertarians, a group for students at one of the world's best universities.

"This scepticism about concentrated power, central planning and top-down regulation also encourages individuals to accept responsibility for their own actions."

Feldner was one of the Generation Y libertarians interviewed for an IBTimes UKfeature on the rise of libertarianism among young people in the UK.

And Douglas Carswell, a libertarian defector from the Conservatives to Ukip, just increased his parliamentary majority in a Clacton-on-Sea by-election. He's now Ukip's first elected MP.

But what do you think? Take our poll and show us.

'The Strain' News: Season 1 Finale Recap, Show Renewed for Second Season

A scene from The Strain

"The Strain" season 1 finale titled "The Master" shows Eph and Fet on a mission as they infiltrate the theater through an underground passage where they discover the Master's coffin. Palmer is furious because the Master only restored his health but did not give him immortality, but Eichhorst assures him that he will get what he wishes for once he does the Master's bidding.

Later on, Setrakian and Eph confront the Master and force him outdoors into daylight, believing that this will cause his death. The Master, though badly burned, escapes and Setrakian could not believe that their plan didn't work. They regroup, and Zack stops at his mother's house and said that he has to get some medicine for his asthma, but what he actually got was a photo album. His mother, Kelly, then reappears. She has fully turned into a vampire. Eph shoots Kelly, but only manages to wound her before she escapes.

The season finale of "The Strain" reportedly pulled in 2.091 million total viewers on Oct. 5, which made it the top drama on cable on that night according to Deadline. It has also consistently performed well in DVR, pulling in more than 4 million viewers.

"The Strain" is based on the vampire novels by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, who also created the TV series. There are three books in "The Strain" series, and according to del Toro, the first two novels "The Strain" and "The Fall" will be covered by one season each, while the third book, "The Night Eternal," may be split into two or three seasons.

FX has renewed "The Strain" for a 13-episode second season, and production is set to begin in November 2014. Season 2 is slated to premiere in the summer of 2015.

What if your favorite Disney animals were human?

Posted: at 1:42 pm

Disney animators have always personified their animal characters. From Cinderellas mouse henchmen, which had sewing capabilities that could rival those of Project Runwaycontestants, to The Little Mermaids crabby Sebastian leading the oceanic orchestra under da sea, our favorite Disney animalsare almost too human.

Digital artistChacckco, and little bit of bibbidi bobbidi boo, have imagined what Disneyslovable animals would be if they were humans and the results are pretty incredible.

With a graphite a pencil, The Three Caballerosare transformed into New York gangsters, Flounder into an adoring school boy and, probably the most mind-blowing, is CarsLightning McQueen as the driver of his own race car talk about Freaky Friday!

Check out moreof ChacckcosDisney magic below:

If you love what you see above, there are plenty more transformations on the artistsDeviantArt page.

Zaha! : Zaha Hadid, of All People, Will Design a Human Rights Institute

Posted: at 1:42 pm

Controversial starchitect Zaha Hadid just unveiled renderings for the Sleuk Rith Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, presenting a slight departure from her signature colorless blob futurism. Instead, the future home of some one million archival documents of the Khmer Rouge era will be five wooden towers inspired by ancient Cambodian temple sites.

The towers, to be built from locally-sourced timber, will be distinct spaces on the ground level. But the higher you go, the more the towers will "interlock" to encourage more interaction among different components of the institutionwhich in addition to the massive archive, will also include a media center, library, and graduate school, all dedicated to preventing human rights atrocities in the future.

In all it's an interesting project for Hadid, who's been embroiled in a string controversies of late. Her name has been dropped in connection to forced evictions in Azerbaijan (to make room for the construction of her Heydar Aliyev building), deplorable labor conditions in Qatar, and Olympic stadiums that are, in the words of petitioning architects, "overwhelmingly large for the context." That's not even mentioning the fact that she's got a lawsuit going against a critic. This is all to say thatwho knows?perhaps this project is an attempt to ameliorate her public image. Anyway, it looks pretty cool:
