Sunday School 1 year, 7 months agoThat freaky Kennedy piece-o-shit will cause many unnecessary deaths. I view him as a mass murderer. It only takes a thin layer of bullshit to fool my average pathetic, hapless, clueless boomer cohort and many zoomers as well. Diseases such as measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio and smallpox will make their triumphant return if that asshat…[Read more]

Good. I have no problem with the concept of “Freedom of Religion”. But if someone has that, then I want my “Freedom from Religion”. Stigmata for 6 hours?? Excellent! ‘My favorite weapon is the look in your eyes”……

Thats the way. I had some that would let dogs bark for hours. I asked them to please stop several times. I was ignored. I setup 3kW PA gear with extra sub-bass on the edge of the property, aimed at their house. All covered in plastic sheeting in case of rain. Started with all sorts of psychological noise like sirens, screaming, chains, factory…[Read more]

It started innocently enough—or so I thought. Sunday morning, with the scent of fresh coffee wafting through my kitchen, I heard it: a syrupy guitar riff accompanied by lyrics about salvation, redemption, and “walking with the Lord.” My renting neighbors ranting about their magical mystery man Jesus were at it again. Windows wide open, speak…[Read more]

I pay $20/mth, directly to openAI for ChatGPT. I like them because they keep improving their features, although once in a while their servers respond slowly, I assume caused by periodic growth spurts. They started out prioritizing an ethical business model and operational awareness of ethical uses of AI, e.g. don’t teach how to…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 7 months agoWittgenstein was my Master’s thesis (“Wittgenstein and Moore on Certainty”). He’s up there with Berty Russell as a quotable philosopher.
“Light dawns gradually over the whole” is about as perfect a description of how a subject matter becomes understood as there is.

A new system of Logic could boost Critical Thinking.This is really interesting, in that it uses Wittgenstein’s definition of the meaning of words – how they are used in real life; in what contexts – in a way that can be understood by computers. A computer can analyse the way a word is used by humans, and so, its…[Read more]

More than shop class, I’m concerned that kids aren’t being taught geography anymore. Now, I’m not a geographer and there are some fairly obscure—hardly ever in the news—countries, but even with a lot of the lesser-encountered ones, I’d at least know where on a map to start looking. I wouldn’t start trying to locate Iran in Africa or Mon…[Read more]

Shop class probably went the way of Home Economics or Touch Typing Skills classes. I took Shop and also Touch Typing and Mechanical Drawing. Touch typing is the only one I can say serves me in daily life to any degree.
