Bronze age mumbo
You cannot wake up some day and decide that you are not black, Asian, Chinese, European, left handed, homosexual, or the hair colour you were born with. You can decide not to follow the mumbo jumbo contained in textbooks that all just happen to have been written in and around a small region of the… Continue reading

What to say today?
Often I have no idea what I am going to write, I just sit down and a rant falls out of my fingers. Let’s face it, that’s what my post are usually about, something that’s been weighing on my mind, something that irks me. Today though I watched an episode of Luther (UK Tv Drama,… Continue reading

She is angry!
My partner has had enough, she’s irate with anger, seething, incandescent with rage, over an advert for a Nike sports bra where the item is being reviewed by a so-called transgender person.

Explaining a Fundamental of Econ
I studied Economics at degree level, but I wouldn’t claim to be an economist. I did, however, learn a few basic things that have stuck with me, and changed the way I see the world. That’s what studying is supposed to do, change your perspective, if you study and don’t change at least a little… Continue reading

The non-Human

Jean Baudrillard speculated that in modernity there was little reality since every experience can be replicated and shared. That we live in a simulated world where life, daily life, is a series of constructed events where the… Continue reading

Important differences between Prejudice and Preference
The important difference between Racism, where a person or group, deliberately, or unconsciously, treats another person or group with prejudice or favour, and Culturalism, where a person or group may do exactly the same thing, and garner exactly the same outcome, is in the motivation for doing so.
