David Warren: People who will not agree to be lied to become ungovernable by liars, and we see a reasonable contrary of “knowledge is power.”

David Warren: Empathy is to imagine oneself in the position of another – without being that other person. Thus empathy can work as a strategy.

After seeing a young father at church, he reminisces about the first few months of parenthood with his daughter.

On Saturday, June 22, 2024, Hamptons Tastemaker Vanessa Gordon and Award-Winning Entertainer Deborah Cox hosted the 5th Annual Hamptons Interactive Brunch. The event was well attended, welcoming a sold-out gathering of 300 to a gorgeous private estate in Water Mill, NY.

David Warren: “Peace on earth” is far more than a political ambition. Indeed, so far as it is political, it defeats itself and can be resolved only by war.

David Warren: The Bible is a reliable source of common sense, tested by history, and not reducible to the “public opinion” of any generation.

A government truly for the people, cannot be by the people, or it will promptly dissolve in vulgar power-plays. Instead, if we are looking for something reliable, we should look to the inhuman, and for our laws to God, visible over time.

Sleep is a universally conserved behavior whose origin and evolutionary purpose are uncertain. Using phylogenomics, this article investigates the evolutionary foundations of sleep from a never before used perspective. More specifically, it identifies orthologs of human sleep-related genes in the Lokiarchaeota of the Asgard superphylum and examines their functional role. Our findings indicate that a conserved suite of genes associated with energy metabolism and cellular repair is involved, thus suggesting that sleep plays a primordial role in cellular maintenance. The data cited lend credence to the idea that sleep improves organismal fitness across evolutionary time by acting as a restorative process. Notably, our approach demonstrates that phylogenomics is more useful than standard phylogenetics for clarifying common evolutionary traits. By offering insight into the evolutionary history of sleep and putting forth a novel model framework for sleep research across taxa, these findings contribute to our growing understanding of the molecular foundation of sleep. This study lays the groundwork for further investigations into the importance of sleep in various organisms. Such investigations could have consequences for improving human health and more generally could provide a deeper comprehension of the fundamental processes of life.
