An argument against Omission
I’m going to skip around certain political happenings in a post that doesn’t go anywhere or come to any conclusion. It’s just a wander around some of the things I wanted to say as if they were the unfinished, hardly started notes lying on a desk in no particular order. I may ramble, but as Continue reading

The cruel chemistry
It’s the cruellest of universal jokes that man is configured his way and woman hers, that these two incompatible beings, and I am about to tell you what I mean by that statement, are attracted to each other so strongly that they will wave all sense so as to promise each other forever and bind Continue reading

When did we stop being reasonable?
Polarisation, the process where by one’s perspective is either wholly at one extreme of the spectrometer, or it is as far the other way from the equilibrium. For folks now it seems that commitment, surety projected, subjective position stated strongly as if it stands as a fact (an objective, demonstrable, and measurable reality), is what Continue reading

Endings
I’ve been on a counselling course. Everything you learn in life is a good thing, even the hard lessons. This wasn’t one of those tough ones though, it was a surprisingly rewarding and interesting experience, and I’m glad I participated. Now I’m not going to review the course in this blog, much more interesting is Continue reading

I understand preppers now
A zombie apocalypse is unlikely, but not impossible. More likely to happen is that the world will fundamentally change for the commoner in a way we are already well aware of, but haven’t really thought enough about.

The sheep that doesn’t know the shepherd
I’m going to have yet another pop at that fascinating show Love Island. How people are picked for love island is because they are pure id, I see them as unreal undeveloped people with zero worth or talent. The sort of people who want to realise their own desires and the expression of them without Continue reading

Cortisol and insult
Cortisol, the stress hormone. I’m not a doctor, and I’m not one of those nitwits that has “done my own research” on the internet. There must be a reason to believe something, some science behind it. Luckily there is a lot of good evidence that how you feel psychologically will contribute chemically to how you Continue reading

Humiliation
In the development of the self everything matters, in realising this we must then decide on the approach to punishment and discipline. How will it play out in time? When we choose to correct a behaviour that we see as undesirable or in error in a young person, we must choose wisely so as not Continue reading

Formed, by nitwits
I have a very basic rule I use when I create any type of user data gathering mechanism. If you make a method for others to input data into, and you then have to teach those people how to use it, or if you have to write more than a few lines to explain it, Continue reading

Directed shame
I wanted to explore an idea, that of shame being a weaponised human emotion. This thought came to me while talking to my partner Em about a social news article we heard in the car while going somewhere. Sparked by the subject matter I asked Em what she thought, as I often do, primarily because Continue reading
