A funny thing about the conflict in Israel and Gaza- the myriad groups and organizations that end in FOR PALESTINE. There are all of these liberal causes that hitch their wagons to For Palestine. Blacks, queers, environmental, climate change etc.

Any Arab/Muslim groups there is nothing disingenuous or incongruous. From the outset Arab Muslims…[Read more]

Ideology is antithetical to free thinking.

Simon blasts it out of the park.

It is however superb for robotic regurgitation.

I do remember that Reg.

Really well done.

Simon,

I despise those things. Racism, sexism, injustice. Yet I would never want any association between myself and progressivism. Progressivism is a font of racism, sexism and injustice. It is awesome you are not an ideologue. Unfortunately the current sweeps up a great many of us and the ideology takes precedence over human rights. And that is…[Read more]

Simon,

Islam as to women is a great deal more than just beating women as a cultural/religious norm. It is gender mutilation. It is arranged marriages. It is tolerance of old men molesting/raping little girls. Marrying little girls. Denying education. Not giving opportunity to females beyond bearing children. Not treating mental illness that…[Read more]

Enco,

Punk soul brother. I read Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, when i was a kid. It was sort of THE ecology book. It may be dated now idk but one of the takeaways was how evolution is hastened and the impact of pesticides is to require stronger pesticides. Short life span. 1000 pests. 3 survive. Survivability passed on.

On a strong hunch that…[Read more]

“Put it this way, different people value different norms and goods, and some of those norms/goods are incompatible with each other.”

So sez Simon.

Islamists are attempting to impose their norms on the world. Lefty’s are cooperating. Nay, helping Islamists.

Give this 11 minute vid a look see. Tell me Simon if you are okay with the cultural…[Read more]

“Moral purity means observance of moral norms. So, woke people can go big on purity. So can nazis. So can religious people. That doesn’t make it a bad thing, but it can get very oppressive and tiresome, to the exclusion of values like compassion.”

So says Simon and Simon sez. Hmm. Yeah i can’t subscribe to notion that it is not a bad thing. I…[Read more]

Zalts!

Gimme lots of it. Love it love it love it. But i understand if you have high BP then it is in moderation. My BP is good because i kill myself as often as possible. When i was a sedentary great big fat person practicing law it was too high.

And while we are often admonished about too much salt in our diet be mindful that too little is a…[Read more]

Enco,

Where do you come down on organic food v non?

That sunday school video about evil/stupidity is food for thought. Reg threw one right down the middle. For Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor who opposed the Nazis, and made a distinction between evil and stupidity, stupidity was more dangerous than evil. One can be stupid and yet…[Read more]

Enco,

Please warn before you share a video with gigantic cross earings! Now i have PTSD. I had better see my zionist friends for a hyperbaric chamber therapy session to rid myself of the horrific image. Either that or an exorcism…

Incredible actor.

I can see a skit in which Putin is feeding on Trump’s brain with fava beans and a good chianti.

Fava beans was a staple of the atlantic slave trade. Ever have em? I like em sauteed in olive oil with pasta. Never found any good ones in cans but i know a Syrian guy who says such exist.

Is it unimaginable that Trump’s foreign policy is dictated by his fear Russia will show video of Trump in a humiliating act?

Remember how submissive his body language when he was with Putin?

Enco,

Check it out punk soul brother. Kind of an interesting article i am linking that links the jew hatred of the nazis and the lefty’s. Horseshoes. As i’ve indicated i prefer the far right/nazis who are not duplicitous in their objectives. Antizionism is not antisemitism? In which universe?

Demonization: when comparisons are made between…[Read more]

I started to read adult books at age 6. Just like Reg with 10k steps daily i stepped through at least an hour of reading each night. When i was into a book i would read all day on no school days. Even in college i was always reading. Going to law school is what screwed me up. Felt guilty if i was not reading law. Never got back to it as a daily…[Read more]

Reg, when i have concluded my readings and pondered weak and weary i shall add my thoughts.

Enco,

Math for sure requires reasoning and more reasoning. Music or the arts in general can be an aptitude seemingly divorced from general intelligence. Witness the musical or artistic savants who may appear in other regards dumb as a rock. Although i suppose great composers are a different case. And someone like DaVinci in his art demonstrated…[Read more]

Looks interesting.

Thanks Reg.

Second act of Trump is even more chaotic and mind bending than i would have thought. As things unravel i am very curious to find out whether hard core Trump cultists alter their position from at his feet to at his throat.

It is so natural to lash out at the morons. lately i have been feeling that for the lefty’s. I just don’t know other than a…[Read more]
