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

When the natural is wrong
Andrew Tate could be 100% thematically correct about what a man is and what a man desires, but still nobody should follow, adhere, and act in line with his perspective, simply because societies cannot be formed based on human animal instincts. Yes, in evolutionary terms we are an animal, and an animal has a set Continue reading

Rendered Useless
Some of the joy in life is provided by going forward in a meaningful way. It is a beautiful and worthwhile thing to grow as a person, to develop new skills, to have new conversations, to become a better person or operator of the tennis racket. What AI, big data, and bio-metric interventions (technologies built Continue reading

As they pass each house the unit accesses a report built from various dBs, a report that holds all the info on the assets and occupants. Suddenly in a flurry of Continue reading

Find the right reasons
I’m convinced that the constant focus on pornography and violence is a distraction from what is really wrong. A subject that the media, owned by those that benefit most from peddling the false porn and violence narrative, refuses to speak on. Inequality, and every social malady it drives, that is the real problem. I’m not Continue reading

The boss’s son effect
A long time ago a co-worker told me “there’s no asshole like the boss’s son”, though I cannot remember now who I am quoting. What he was saying was that the boss made the business what it is now, it’s success is their success. The boss’s children, if they have become involved in the business, Continue reading

A most miserable happiness
I’m a big fan of reality, telling the truth, representing yourself as the flawed human you are rather than the modern overprotected ego creation I described in earlier posts. For this reason I am often drawn to the philosophy written by critical thinkers. The masters of suspicion as Roderick references some of them in one Continue reading

Respect
What would be the reason behind recognising that something that is not important to you, is in fact important to someone else? I watch a lot of movies, and in some of them I find moments of great wisdom that I suspect the writer deliberately included, stuff I think we all absorb and consider subconsciously. Continue reading
