The Iran War may be backfiring on us. It may be losing us our towering position with the oil-producing countries of the Middle East. On February 28th when the United States and Israel mounted a surprise strike on a meeting of Iran’s top leaders in the hope that the Iranian people would rise up and

It all started on Sunday of last week, July 26th. Iraqi militias under the control of Iran rained missiles down on critical oil and energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. In 72 hours the Iraqis launched a reported 70 rockets and drones. By Tuesday July 28th, the Saudis had had enough. They joined us in attacking
This is the week that the Iran war is transforming. The conflict appears to be going from an American and Israeli blitzkrieg to a long-term tit for tat. It’s going to a they-hit-us, we-hit-them-back, low level war. And the prize over which America and Iran are fighting is the Strait of Hormuz, the 21 mile
The two biggest issues on the table in our negotiations with Iran are a do or die for the world’s economy—the Strait of Hormuz– and a possible do or die for humankind– Iran’s nuclear program. How are the Iran talks going this week? Lumpy, bumpy and confused. Thursday of last week, June 25th, Iran struck
Donald Trump has now told us for the 38th time that we are on the brink of a peace deal with Iran, a Memorandum of Understanding in which we both agree to turn the Strait of Hormuz back into a free passage zone, in which we agree to stage a next level of negotiation on Iran’s
Two surprising things happened in the Iran War on Wednesday, June 3rd. Congress passed a War Powers Resolution. And our president announced about Iran’s supreme leader that “we seem to be getting along quite well” and that he would like to sit down with him in person. Meanwhile, our president has proclaimed that when it comes to
Our president believes we’ve won the Iran war. Decisively. He might be surprised to discover that Iran believes he’s lost. Yes, Iran thinks it has won. And that the US and our Israeli partner have suffered many “strategic defeats at the hands of the Islamic Revolution” and have “failed to learn” our lesson. So if
The current war with Iran is a necessity. Iran is a danger to you and me. Iran has been working on nuclear weapons for 35 years. Some say Iran already has The Bomb. Others admit Iran has enough fissile material for from sixty to 90 bombs. And Iran has been working on intercontinental ballistic missiles since at
Brooklyn, NY – For more than half a century, we have told ourselves a story about space. It is a story of missions. We launch. We travel. We land. We plant a flag. And we come home. Apollo did it. Artemis is trying to do it again. Every headline, every press release, every televised launch
Few contemporary intellectuals defy categorization as completely as Howard Bloom. A former music industry publicist turned scientific theorist, Bloom has built a career exploring what he calls “mass behavior”—the patterns that govern everything from subatomic particles to human societies. His work bridges disciplines as diverse as evolutionary biology, cosmology, psychology, and cultural history, resulting in a body of
Some thinkers build careers inside one discipline. Howard Bloom has spent his life ignoring those boundaries entirely. Author, scientific thinker, and former music-industry strategist, Bloom is known for connecting fields most people would never think to link—cosmology and pop culture, biology and human behavior, the evolution of the universe and the future of society. His work asks
Once upon a time the idea of a genie in Aladdin’s lamp was a fantasy. That genie was conjured in prose sometime before 1704 in the Arabian Nights. But it couldn’t be conjured in reality. Now with the advent of AI, that fantasy is about to come true. Yes, within less than a decade we may well have
Who the Hell Is Howard Bloom? Howard Bloom is one of those wildly eclectic thinkers who refuses to be pinned down — he’s part science theorist, part cultural provocateur, and part cosmic storyteller. Born in Buffalo in 1943, Bloom started off as a science-obsessed kid, digging into microbiology and cosmology long before most people could
This cosmos is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Among other things, it is replete with immaterial forces that have power over material things. Yes, immaterial forces. Forces you and I can’t see. What in the world do I mean? At the very birth of the universe in a Big Bang 13.7
Howard Bloom has never written “safe” books. He writes the kind that make people uncomfortable because they refuse to stay in their lane. Biology bleeds into politics. Physics crashes into psychology. Culture gets treated like a living organism instead of a polite abstraction. That through-line runs straight into the mission of the Howard Bloom Institute — and it’s
The Howard Bloom Institute isn’t built for soundbites, hot takes, or intellectual comfort. It exists for people who want to understand why the world behaves the way it does—not just what’s happening on the surface. Founded by Howard Bloom, the Institute operates as a home base for deep thinking about human behavior, evolution, power, belief systems, and the future of
Howard Bloom has never been interested in polite thinking. He’s the kind of writer who looks at accepted wisdom, tilts his head, and asks an uncomfortable question: What if we’ve been wrong the whole time? That instinct drives his latest book, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Wanted to Know About Nature Is Wrong — a provocative
On Monday December 8th the Oxford University Press Journal SLEEP Advances made a startling claim: that, as one headline put it, getting less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy. In other words, get less than seven hours of sleep per night and you shorten your life. Which means that getting between
