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. Yes we could all die as the nuclear arsenals are foisted upon each other by the capitalist classes Continue reading

A horse to water
William Buckley’s words were sophisticated, maybe too much so for the audience he was speaking to, and certainly we would not recognise the style now as something we could relate to. Such assuredness and confidence oozing out of each elongated sentence, performance notes in the execution of every critical word, pauses timed and positioned with Continue reading

He bought stuff
He inherits money, buys stuff, that stuff goes up in value, so he buys more stuff, the value rises again. He goes from wealthy to very wealthy, so he buys more stuff, that stuff goes up in value too. Someone else is designing and engineering this stuff, someone else is making this stuff, someone else 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

Street Rangers?
I’m about to make what is called a slippery slope argument. I am aware that this tactic can be rather flawed but I will try to stay away from drawing too much inference from the initial postulate and stick with what is likely in an effort to not appear to be a tinfoil-hat wearing internet Continue reading

Do it for no other reason
I spent a lot of time on YouTube watching documentaries about the lives of poor US communities and I was shocked to see how the richest country in the world regularly treated its marginalised people. They basically abandon them to charity. The theme that runs through each is the prideful nature of the inhabitants of Continue reading

Uniqueness
I wished to explore the idea of uniqueness, the individual, the self and the myriad of differences between one self and another. What is it about persons that makes them them, given that we are all made mostly out of the same materials as each other, the dust from long gone stars according to Prof Continue reading

Other flags
Two of my cats have not gotten along well, both males and territorial. They first fought, then avoided, but now they sit on a bench a foot from each other. Peace has broken out. I personally support the right of Palestinians to self determine and occupy the lands of their forefathers, but I do not Continue reading

Dissecting the Tommy mind
I decided to do an experiment on my intellect this weekend, I would expose myself to the rhetoric of what is portrayed as the far right wing. I know what I mean by the term right wing, I am in no doubt about what I see this term to represent, but that may change as Continue reading

Deliberate Abstract
When a circus is in town they put up posters, you could see and know it was a circus flyer from the back of a galloping horse as you passed, you’d likely even catch the venue and date. Yet when you see a planning application stapled to a telegraph pole, that fucker couldn’t be harder Continue reading
