Christopher M. Langan Interview

Christopher M. Langan Interview

superscholar.org

Christopher Michael Langan lays legitimate claim to having the highest IQ of anyone in the United States. He is a scholar in the original sense of the word. Scholar in its Greek root refers to leisure for reflection, and Langan has devoted his spare time to intellectual pursuits. That said, Langan is an unconventional scholar. Most scholars are associated with universities or think-tanks; they are paid to think. Langan’s day jobs, by contrast, have tended to be in the blue collar world — most colorfully as a bouncer. And yet he continues to read, research, and write. In addition, through hi...

AMONG MY FAVORITES: HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION IN ENGLAND, BY H. T. BUCKLE, PART 1

libertarianism.org

From time to time I will write essays on some books of interest to libertarians. I hereby kick off my intermittent series, “Among My Favorites,” with a work that truly is among my all‐time favorites: History of Civilization in England, by Henry Thomas Buckle (1821–62). Once famous but now virtually unknown, even among libertarian scholars, this massive and heavily documented best-seller–originally published in two volumes, 1857 and ...

A brilliant orator, he had criticized orthodox religion in lectures across the country, drawing huge crowds but also igniting the opposition of Christian leaders.An admired Civil War colonel and a talented lawyer, who was also the Illinois attorney general after the war, Ingersoll began criticizing religious orthodoxy in 1872 with a lecture titled “The Gods.” Controversial from the start, he asserted that all gods, in all cultur...

How I found potential lost works of the great British painter William Hogarth

theconversation.com

On the banks of River Kennett, Wiltshire, sits an Elizabethan country house. You might know Littlecote if you enjoy fly fishing or, if you’re interested in civil war re-enactments – it possesses a unique Cromwellian Chapel and an outstanding Roundhead armoury. Above all, however, Littlecote is known for the many mysteries that shroud it: colourful ghost sightings, a cursed elm tree, tales of tragedies and many puzzling local legends inflect its knotty history.One such legend, that of Littlecote’s Dutch parlour, is widely considered true. The ceiling and wood-panelled walls of this ro...

Henry Moseley, X-ray spectroscopy and the periodic table
