Apparently they don’t like apostates and atheists…

That means they don’t like 75% of the worlds population. That includes me so they can sit on this and swivel.

It’s just not healthy to place that much value in something, so that it is above all else that really matters.

That is very true, especially when what they value most is ima…[Read more]

Yes, to an atheist, Islam seems extreme, unbending and oppressive.  It’s also been hijacked by patriarchy.

At what time in its history was Islam not patriarchal?  If anyone would like to hear what women in Afghanistan think about it, you had better ask them very soon.

But I disagree with what a commenter said – that it’s incompatible with We…[Read more]

Well, at least we now might know where he got his brain worm from. And to think I ran close to it on a 5K run!

Strega gets her fingerprints sent to space forever and I could be spending my days on the look out for pic-a-nic baskets 🙂

In The Washington Post, Amanda Katz noted that Kennedy had terminated his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, “ending a dilemma for voters torn between their love of deportation camps and their love of measles.”

Thanks Strega, have a colorful day 🙂

Have a great week!

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

I knew someone who claimed to have synesthesia but I think it was just a pigment of their imagination.

Okay, I have changed my mind and I will pick the other half of the box 🙂

@_Robert_  The system is really “out of the box” thinking. Or in the box. Well, let’s just use half a box.

If I was doing some acid I would have trouble deciding which half of the box to use 🙂

@Unseen – The Law of Forms is a very interesting idea. I had never heard of it before. It is like applying an “Occam’s Razor” to algebra.

@jakelafort I have for a long time thought people can be programmed with any beliefs I used to think it required early indoctrination…

It reminds me of a recent conversation I had with an Evangelical of some type. He was trying to tell me that he did not believe in Evolution. I told him I agreed with him. He looked puzzled and asked me to e…[Read more]

Reason is a BASIC requirement of logic.

10 LET X = 1 ‘ Assume X is a logical value, where 1 represents TRUE and 0 represents FALSE
20 IF X = 1 THEN GOTO 30
25 GOTO 50
30 PRINT “Continuing because X is logical (TRUE).”
40 GOTO 60
50 PRINT “X is not logical (FALSE), going to end.”
60 END

We have plenty of firearms.

If there is a revolution I am sure that some of the 180,000 active duty marine corps will be able to handle them. Once it is declared a national emergency or an insurgency they will get out of bed (both of which are exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act). Then they can go back for their breakfast.

He thinks he is a…[Read more]

I have a tattoo of Urizen (You-Reason) on a shoulder blade.

From Chatgpt:

Urizen is a character created by the English poet and artist William Blake, who appears prominently in his series of prophetic books, particularly “The Book of Urizen” (1794). Blake’s Urizen is a complex figure representing law, reason, and order, but also the limitations…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone! Did all y’all enjoy the game in Dublin 🙂

Reason is non-negotiable. Try to argue against it, or to exclude it from some realm of knowledge, and you’ve already lost the argument, because you’re using reason to make your case. And no, this isn’t having “faith” in reason (in the same way that some people have faith in mi…[Read more]

@Unseen – My A.I. returned this:

The experiment you’re describing sounds like a variant of a Galton board (also known as a Quincunx), which is a device invented by Sir Francis Galton to demonstrate the central limit theorem. In a Galton board, balls are dropped from the top and bounce through an array of pins, with the outcome forming a normal…[Read more]

I once did Horrorscope readings for 5 different star signs. All were very keen to have it done by a professional 🙂

I made up a few generic paragraphs that sounded profound but very vague. “You are happy to work on a task on your own but also enjoy being part of a team when the task allows for your own skill sets to be called upon”.  I spoke…[Read more]
