POPSX-Philes: Philosophy Meets the Real World "Intentional action" is one of the prominent themes in this new philosophy.What do we mean when we say that someone did something intentionally? Most philosophers assume that we'd all agree that this is a question of the actor's state of mind. Experimentalist Joshua Knobe of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill asked college students: If a businessman interested only in profits knowingly harms the environment, should we say he did so intentionally? The students answered yes. Yet if the same businessman knowingly helped the environment, they said no. Apparently, intentionality depends not just on an actor's state of mind, but also on the outcome he or she produces.

POPSJohn Travolta: Scientology 'to stay' in Haiti The first group of Scientologists arrived in Haiti two weeks ago, and were boosted last week by the arrival of actor John Travolta in his Boeing 707 with food, medical equipment, baby food and nappies, doctors and volunteer ministers. As well as providing medical assistance the volunteers – wearing yellow T-shirts that read: "Something CAN be done about it" – have also helped distribute food and water and remove medical supplies from damaged buildings. Some medical workers have praised the Scientologists for their efforts, but they are understood to have been less well received by certain other organisations. An Oxfam spokeswoman was quoted as saying: "I didn't know touching could cure gangrene", while other people questioned how Travolta was able to gain landing permission while many other aid flights were turned away from the airport.

POPSThere Was the President's Speech, and There Is Reality As for spending, Obama didn't once apologize for his reckless expenditures. Instead, he blamed his soaring deficits on his predecessor, completely misrepresenting the projected deficits under President Bush and ignoring his own deliberate doubling of the national debt over the next 10 years. That's the issue Americans are losing sleep over, and he offers only Band-Aids and smoke and mirrors.
