@CyrilUyII "while it may be tempting to uncover a stable and neatly-bounded system beneath Ḥamūya’s enigmatic expressions, such an approach carves his work at unnatural joints, leaving us with a butchered metaphysics better suited for the wastebasket of rejected knowledge." #wordmastery

Exactly a year ago, the Nuclear Ban Treaty came into force.

It is just the beginning — not the end — of our efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons.

But #NuclearBan is a victory for humanity.

@AlanLevinovitz In my non-expert reading, the directive doesn't actually ban mandatory testing. Is JMU confused???
