Arsehole persuasion

War was made unnecessary since these conflicts are always an expression of economic competition between countries trying to control resources, and we no longer needed that because of global trade where any country could sell… Continue reading

We should think ourselves rather silly
Imagine having a monarchy in 2024, how utterly ridiculous would that be? But we do, we have a person who in April 2023 became the King of England, ascended to the throne to rule the country as a figurehead of government, that is, according to the Hobbesian argument (leviathan) and many other arguments before his,… Continue reading

Banter training
“Banter training” my pal tells me, that’s what’s going on in his workplace now. Holy fudge what an notion. Let’s destroy it..

So it’s 2024 and the world is all buzzing about the Taylor Swift tour, and as usual I may have something to say about it.

Correct, yet stupidly
If you arrive at the same conclusion, but you use reasoning to get there, as someone else who arrives there by prejudice or a ridiculous theory, then your conclusion is more valid, even though it has the same solidity. Now that is a strange thing to say, almost that one person can be more correct… Continue reading

WFH – a Sand and Peas theory
My better half works from home, she intends that she will never go back to the office full time. For her, the efficiency gains are enormous and the benefits to her wellbeing immeasurable. I am going to attempt to put into words why…. The Sand and Peas theory is a scientific example of what fills… Continue reading
