Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 7 months ago
I watched some early morning TV recently and tuned into an episode of “The Doctors”. I did not know much about the show having only ever seen it in parts before then. I was not really paying much heed to it until I heard them say that “coming up next” there will be a segment on the merits of “past life regression” as a form of therapy. Goo…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 8 months ago@davis In Fiji, at the tribe gatherings the men speak and the women are not permitted to address the meeting, other than by whispering into their husbands ear and having him speak. Sometimes the men do not convey their woman’s words. If this happens, the woman starts to sing. Men are not permitted to speak whilst a woman is singing. Som…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 8 months agoWhy do humans have their particular social norms regarding sexuality and gender?
There is no social norms rearding sexuality and gender for humans. They vary greatly from place to place and over time. Even within the same country there are enormous differences per culture, class, education, profession etc. In some parts of the world women…[Read more]

- widespread prohibition on (especially male) homosexuality
Human sexual behaviour differs from…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 9 months agoThis is a trilogy, written by Cixin Liu, an author “beloved” by Chinese readers. I found it seriously nerdy at times (well, I am a technopeasant). Did me good to exercise a few brain cells. Reminded me of Isaac Asimov due to the affection and depth of the way this author dealt with sensitive human problems. Hint: space is much more dang…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 9 months agoHow did astronomy become a religion?
A short answer is that during the USA/USSR Cold War, a few astronomers became addicted to taxpayer money. Their addiction repeated that of dam builders in the early 1900s, and of highway builders in the 1950s. A lesson is that starting taxpayer subsidies is difficult; stopping them is more difficult.

Thanks, Tom – you always seem to give me a healthy skepticism for ‘scientific announcements’.
Strega, when government departments have done what Congress funded them to do, Congress cuts their budgets and they have to reduce their payrolls. This time it’s NASA’s turn.
