If they are doing it themselves it is not FC.

Facilitated Communication sits at the intersection of hope, identity, and perceived injustice, which makes it unusually resistant to evidence. When you watch FC in action, it can be convincing. The person appears to be communicating fluently, even sometimes at a level far beyond what anyone expected. The problem is that this impression is exactly…[Read more]

Have a great week!!

I was deplatformed as a child… now everyone’s an expert.

Modern workplaces bring together people with fundamentally different worldviews, be they religious, secular, scientific or ideological and then ask them to cooperate as if those differences don’t matter. But in reality, they do matter. The trick is deciding when they matter at work and when they don’t.

For me the issue is never “belief vs belie…[Read more]

“It’s a very collective society, not huge on individualism like in the US.”

People tend to think in terms of community, family, and shared identity. There’s more value placed on cooperating and supporting each other. I would say that social norms often lean toward “we” over “me”.

But it is also a liberal society. We do have a small but vocal…[Read more]

Every dot is a galaxy. The map spans 11 billion years of cosmic history. It also includes 20+ million stars in our own galaxy. By comparing galaxy positions across time, scientists can track how expansion changed. Early DESI data hints that dark energy might not be constant. That’s huge because current physics assumes it is and so the standard m…[Read more]

Thanks Strega! on Friday I went to see several works by William Blake, one of my favorite creative artists. One of his works is “Thou wast Perfect till inquiry was found in Thee” c. 1805. Reference  is “The book of Ezekiel” which depicts Satan in his glorious state, before his fall. The orb and scepter server to emphasize Satan’s power and regal…[Read more]

Have a great week and have a good 420 day tomorrow….:-)

Get Back into your Cave (A Modest Wager)

“Oh no—you can’t know that at all!

No mortal mind can stand so tall.

You can’t just say ‘there are no gods,’

That’s arrogance in thinking clods.”

I sip my tea. “I never claimed

A truth so final, neatly framed.

I said I’m not convinced—so far—

No deity has raised the bar.”

“But wai…[Read more]

The is a new study done on benefits of getting the Shingles vaccine. I will get it soon as I had chicken pox when I was young.

Me troll Christians?? Never! I am only gently admonishing them with my wise words.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom.”  Colossians 3:16

Yes, the MAGA magic cross is only a vein attempt to stop Trump bleeding them dry 🙂 Knowles can choke on his Cheerios too.

Of course for…[Read more]

Christian: Reg, do you know why do so many MAGA people wear a crucifix around their necks?

Me: It’s to let people know they are Christians because if we judged them on their words and deeds we would never know they are. They simply ignore James 2:14-26.

Somehow, my earlier attempt got setup as a Post instead of a Forum topic. They are separate systems in WordPress. Once I got promoted to Mod again, I was able to fix it. Hope you find something there to think about. 🙂

Have a great week everyone !!
