On science II

So, by strong popular demand – more science stuff… Okay, before we get into the specifics of my current explorations, trying to find out what real physicists have been thinking about, it will be necessary to make a few observations about science in general. I was reminded of that need when I,... Sign in to see full entry.

A little science for a change?

Haven’t written about anything in science for a while! Of course the crowds haven’t exactly clamoring for it either – as I recall, my readership is even more reluctant to get into that kind of stuff than it is hearing about you know what, LOL…Actually, I think the last time only one left reading it...

Don’t you just love that Mark Zuckerberg?

He had a good idea, turned it into reality and became a billionaire – not bad! He’s certainly not stupid! And he’s what these days is called a ‘liberal’ – that is to say someone with the kind of mindset modelled in the way of the ‘everything is relative’ thought currently fashionable. Not just...

The truth is suppressed quite openly now…

Suppressing the truth, hiding it from the public’s view, is a familiar aspect of all totalitarian regimes. Stalin, Hitler and their acolytes were masters at it, but ‘massaging the message’ is not uncommon even in democracies. In fact, the degree to which that occurs may well be a good measure of the...

It’s a well-known phenomenon -

Supported by evidence gathered in many studies over the years: Converts tend to be among the most fervent followers and practitioners of the religion/faith/system of beliefs, etc., they have newly ‘adopted’ or ‘entered’. Of course the ‘journey’ to their new-found view of the world is also of... Sign in to see full entry.

Have a good Bloomsday!

It’s the 16th of June; last night I read some Ulysses, and shall occasionally read some more today, in between doing other things. I may even have a Gorgonzola cheese sandwich and a glass of Burgundy for lunch, though not at the pub… I shall not walk the streets of this town either. I wonder what... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Canadian death…

After that horrendous massacre at Orlando, one man’s death seems ‘small potatoes’ – but not to the man himself (imagine yourself in that situation!), his family and friends, his fellow Canadians and anyone who is concerned about the ever more virulent Islamic disease. Here is the latest… ‘Vicious... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY DO WE ALLOW THIS?

I was as terribly shocked and affected by the horrendous massacre at Orlando as everyone - but reflecting on this event I am not surprised! I am not surprised because I know what is being preached from the pulpits of the mosques of the world - not just in the Middle East, but in Europe and in North... Sign in to see full entry.

A sunny day darkened…

My heart goes out to those poor people in Orlando – 20 dead, 42 injured… And according to CNN, “The FBI is looking at possible ties to radical Islamic terrorism.” A slightly later version omits the 'radical Islamic' bit and now it's just 'terrorism'. Interesting - somebody got his or her knuckles... Sign in to see full entry.

The Iran Deal and Taqiyya…

I’ve written so much about B (etc) O’s disastrous ‘legacy deal’ with Iran (including the recent admission that he duped the American public in his effort to ‘sell’ it) that those who still believe it was a ‘good deal’ have their heads firmly stuck in the sand or possibly some other, less benign...
