The Real Jesus - a new hypothesis: The Historical Jesus, a New and Plausible Hypothesis
The Real Jesus - a new hypothesis: The Historical Jesus, a New and Plausible Hypothesis
Kevin Mulholland - November 26, 2010
Background
Since my de-conversion from Christianity, my stepfather and I had been engaged in an email debate for several months.
On this occasion we were debating the historicity of Jesus Christ.
Specifically, I queried him on the lack of corroborating evidence from sources outside the bible, given Jesus' supposed fame (according to the bible).
He responded with ``What artefacts would one expect from that distant period for a preacher with an itinerant ministry for only 3 1/2 years in the Roman outback of Palestine?”"

JOE STIGLITZ: TODAY'S WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS
by Greg Palast
The World Bank's former Chief Economist's accusations are eye-popping - including how the IMF and US Treasury fixed the Russian elections
'It has condemned people to death,' the former apparatchik told me. This was like a scene out of Le Carre. The brilliant old agent comes in from the cold, crosses to our side, and in hours of debriefing, empties his memory of horrors committed in the name of a political ideology he now realizes has gone rotten.
And here before me was a far bigger catch than some used Cold War spy. Joseph Stiglitz was Chief Economist of the World Bank. To a great extent, the new world economic order was his theory come to life."

Smart People Do More Drugs--Because of Evolution | The Atlantic Wire
Smart People Do More Drugs--Because of Evolution | The Atlantic Wire
Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa has this theory, which he calls the Savanna-IQ Interaction Hypothesis. Here's how it goes: intelligence evolved as a way to deal with 'evolutionary novelties'--to help humans respond to things in their environment to which they were, as a species, unaccustomed. Thus, smart people are more likely to deal with new things and try them. Those new things seem to include drugs."
