Because it is a beautiful thing and perhaps nothing more than that, and because as we begin another calendar year in a world where beauty and things which stir and elevate the mind are increasingly in short supply and, incidentally, a world without any gods to guide us, we need something that may lift us...

On The Science of Studying Data
Making stuff is not science. That's called manufacturing. Science, pure science, is the collection and study of data ...and making conclusions based solely on the study of data. Nothing else. And not with any intent to achieve a particular result. It is not science to set up manufactured studies designed to prove something in particular. That is called experimentation. Sadly, corrupt...

The West Has Been Well & Truly Gamed
There is no longer any need to fear US naval supremacy or in fact any kind of US supremacy. There is no longer any such supremacy. The US (and, by definition, the West) has been well and truly gamed. 'Gamed', in this context, means rendered ineffectual, obsolete, and any other word carrying the general sense of being... Continue Reading →
A Christmas Reset
Coming, as it does, almost midway between the traditional settings of both Western and Orthodox Christianity of the original Christmas story, this is as good a time as it gets to raise the subject of the birth of the central figure of that religion. It is difficult to know just how many modern day... Continue Reading →
A Growing Isolation
In the world of geo-politics, global trade, military muscle, cooperation rather than coercion, who is feeling themselves having been placed, by subtle but open maneuverings, somewhere on the outer fringes of world affairs? You got it in one! Of course, it is none other than the global hegemon and its EU/NATO underlings. After so many years, decades, perhaps... Continue Reading →
In The Beginning…

In particular, those views were,... Continue Reading →
Is It Friday Yet? Oh Fuck, I Can’t Wait…
I'm dropping everything, including some serious shit, to bring you my Chrissie Prezzie 2023, courtesy the link below and today's TAE. The 10min long Klausi McSchwab extended MEGAMIX Enjoy! Oh, by the way, I don't really celebrate Chrissie but I just couldn't pass this up.
It Has To Be Coincidence, Doesn’t It?
It happens too often to be coincidence, one could say. I'm not saying it, but it does occur quite frequently I have noticed. I use an unusual phrase in one of my posts and then a few days to a week or so later I see that phrase showing up in other related writers pieces. I guess it... Continue Reading →
Gotta Love CO2. It’s The Best.
In what passes today as the 21st Century (a meaningless counter of time, based on no discernible origin point whatsoever - try to find the year 'zero' anywhere or attach any realistic reason to it) it has become fashionable (another virtueless descriptor for temporary fads or passing fancies) to label one of the Earth's essential...

Not Something Else
