It is wild to me and yet unsurprising that Simon who is into ethics/morality and writing a book about it has so little negative reaction to Islam.

Isn’t dedicated to evil? Such a nonquestion. Which religion or political ideology describes itself as dedicated to evil?

Supposed to be making world better place? For whom? 60 yrs old men raping…[Read more]

I do indeed ❤️

I’m not sure there’s anything in Islam encouraging nice manners, unless nice manners include burying women vertically in the sands of an arena with only their heads above ground, and stoning them to death for imagined apostasy – often accused by their husbands so he can get rid of them and snag a new wife.

Do yourself a favour and read ‘A Thous…[Read more]

@simon. Attilla the Hun had some people who succeeded as a result of his brutality.

Genghis Khan unified all the Mongolian tribes with his brutality.

Alexander III of Macedonia was a fiendishly cruel man who introduced elephants to the art of war. No doubt a few people were happy with this.

I’m not going to mention the German guy.

Your t…[Read more]

Simon, oh.

So predictable what would happen in Afghanistan after USA withdrew.

The episode that i linked was not my intention. She interviews primarily Muslims/former Muslims from various nations that tell their story as it relates to Islam. The bigots are the ones who conjure narratives about good guys/bad guys based on their identity.

Allowing Islam to remain off limits to criticism is a deplorable and unforgivable…[Read more]

Simon, please don’t swallow the lefty koolaid. Islam is a gigantic and vile cult that dehumanizes and causes untold suffering. It is not something fundamentally ok that is highjacked by some baddies. Here i have linked a podcast series given by a lovely woman who grew up in Islam and is an apostate who escaped a marriage to an Muslim terrorist.…[Read more]

I lived (in sin, haha) with an electronic engineer in the early 80’s.

There are two memorable elements of this story

1. He had one contract building circuit boards that would used in a satellite by the Ministry of Defence in the UK. I had to sign the Official Secrets Act in case he talked in his sleep. Anyway there was a time p…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!

Strega that is a great description of pi.

I read a book about synesthesia. It is an interesting attribute. I can well imagine most people who have it see it as a gift. I was only jabbing free willers.

@unseen Pi is like a long Chinese dragon. The three is a lead strong red. The 1 is white but then 4 green and 2 yellow. Effectively colours tailing off into the distance.

@Jake I like the weirdness.  I met someone who has sound synesthesia and listens to music whilst she watches colours dance.

It’s a fun oddity

If you have synesthesia in color association or otherwise and you are unhappy about that simply exercise your free will to eliminate the weirdness.

I have colour synesthesia :).
Something like 40% of people have it in a small way.

If you’d like to check whether you are in that 40%, ask yourself “What colour is Wednesday?”

You will either have no idea what this question even means, or you will have a specific colour that comes to mind. The latter are those with at least a touch of colou…[Read more]

The pervasiveness of the Islamic agenda in our institutions of higher learning…cough, cough…is shocking even to a cynic. At least this one…

And even as i have for a long time thought people can be programmed with any beliefs i used to think it required early indoctrination. Nope..

Not sure whether a fervent progressive or Trumpist is more ardent. Man oh man they despise and dehumanize the other side. Both certain of their moral high ground and how intractably stupid the other side…
