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

A Strategy…
It’s just my opinion but…. There’s maybe never been a better incentive for improving the energy efficiency of your domicile, collecting rain water, supporting a party that has green and renewable energy policies and a progressive tax position in their manifesto (the Greens), recycling absolutely everything, supporting energy independence nationally, ending fossil fuel dependency with… 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

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

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

A zombie apocalypse is unlikely, but not impossible.

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
