As I write this the year of 2024 has only recently begun. This is a year of great significance for all mankind. For the first time in history, half the global population - some 4 billion people - will have the opportunity (for whatever it is worth) to personally vote in governmental elections to determine who...

I Can Now Write A Little On Climate
Having, not exhausted, but laid a simple framework for building, my views on 'Life, the Universe, and Everything', including the role of God - The Good - which I may yet expand on, I am now free to say something more about climate. I noticed during the previous year of 2023, a change occurring in... Continue Reading →
Should I Talk About God or Climate – Part 2
This is a continuation of my previous post 'Should I Talk About God or Climate?'. We will begin from where we left off. Where I asked the question - "If the gods humans worship and serve are not really gods, but there is actually a real god (which they claimed to fully understand), who or what is that...

Should I Talk About God or Climate?
It was a toss-up tonight, as I wait for my online gaming maintenance period to end, whether I would talk about god or the climate. Well, it turns out they are kind of related, so we'll start with god and, if I run out of things to say, I will move on to climate. I will... Continue Reading →

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 →
Not Something Else
