I am not one of “them”
There may come a time in the life of a thinker, and I think I am one of those, the life examined, introspection coupled with curiosity and all that jazz, where there is a realisation that the thoughts and conclusions we have are not isolated, unique, nor original. I spend a lot of time listening,… Continue reading

As a result of progress
Human nature, an idea that we know that we are good moral actors for some, for others an excuse for us not to be. Some folks claim greed as a natural facet of the species, stating that “if you could, then you would”, indicating that weakness or strength of will are merely circumstantial considerations, i.e.… Continue reading

The Manosphere
I asked my partner Em randomly if I should join the manosphere? The reason I did this was to get her reaction, which I knew I could feed off. Sometimes when people agree on something, and we (Em and I) agree strongly on women’s rights and the toxicity of modern male behaviour regarding it, you… Continue reading

It’s him or us
This guy may be trying to get all us inconsequential people killed. I personally fear our lives, anyone’s lives, everyone’s lives. We are clearly a sacrifice he is willing and happy to make, but who gave him this right to affect me and the world? Some of the American people elected him, not the rest… Continue reading

Protection racket
For those that value privacy over safety I have to ask, what have you got to hide? What I have to hide is… The things you would use against me if you knew me so well you could predict my reactions to your actions. To measure is to improve, that is a true statement, but… Continue reading

The day the TV turns you off.

The weakest of all men
The pope is the weakest, most scared of all men on earth. That’s a bold accusation but I intend to tell you why I have come to that conclusion. As usual I’ll be criticising religion, but also the person psychologically. Bear in mind I don’t dislike the guy, nor do I dislike his policies, I… Continue reading

The Refusal to measure…
The wannabe king has replaced anyone that disagrees with his vision of how things are, not how things should be, bear in mind that these are very different things. One is something we could prove, the other is a trajectory wish. The reason he does this is he wants to be able to say things… Continue reading

Evolves to destruction
Religion will of course evolve toward destruction, maybe never being totally gone though, if it is allowed to evolve that is. What I mean is that any religion born of ignorance will face off against science and discovery until it gives so much ground that it remains only as a thematic, and not a series… Continue reading

Sexually disappointed professional smilers
I’ve used that title very deliberately, mainly because I wish to speculate, as I often do. And as usual I have to point out I have no proof that what I am about to say is verifiable, it just makes sense to me, and it’s interesting to think about… It strikes me that if we… Continue reading
