Observations on the world and its inhabitants
I should have been spending time on Netflix – but over the last few hours (near midnight on 22nd Jan 2022), I came across the video below (which could disappear). It is about Dawkins among a panel and a bunch of people in the audience. This triggered me to explore – again – the nature ...
Oh well, here we go again. Another social media conversation ending with me being called arrogant. The outline is below. So it made me wonder again what is the definition of ‘arrogant’ – and by extension condescending. There’s a wide open information superhighway where anyone can find the dictionary meaning. Google is your friend. Ahhh.. ...
1 – Politics can bend science. 2 – Politics can bend minds. 3 – Politics can cover up the truth. 4 – Mathematics and the truth are good friends. 5 – Mathematics cannot be bent by politics. 6 – The truth will always prevail, even if delayed by politics. 7 – Bent minds create bent statistics*, ...
Well, I nearly died of laughter. This is a play on that tree which fell that know one knew about. Of course it is about something else too – obviously!
I’ll say no more. The existence of God is proved – but instantly disproved! (See mindmap with grey background below).
It’s a new year and there will be new developments. Walker is breaking out on Substack! Interestingly, Substack blogs can accept paid subscriptions quite easily when linked to Stripe. Everybody calm down! This blog will remain in place and continue to be posted to at the usual average frequency. Several Substack blogs will develop in ...
In case some didn’t know ‘Don’t look up’ is a movie on Netflix. I have to say that I avoided watching it for the last 7 days because it appeared to be rubbish. But today someone gave me a nudge. If you don’t like Sci-Fi, or DiCaprio then tough. I then went on YouTube to watch ...
Of course there must be more than two kinds of comedians. But of the two main types, one is funnily serious whilst the other is seriously funny! The choice is yours! 😁😂
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
In 2022 – I aim to lose one more so-called friend. Did I say friend? I did not. I have no friends, so it is always so-called friends. They’re not many anyway – so it is easy to happen really. Now – as I was about to say, on 30th June 2018 I said that I ...
The word evil comes up many times in ordinary life. I’ve encountered it in professional life as well. Of course, I just have one life. In these posts the word ‘evil’ has been applied as a tag. On reflection I have never explored deeply the concept of evil. So that’s what this post is about. ...
Righhttt… this is a dangerous post cuz anything in a social media space can be interpreted any which way and turned into a fact that doesn’t exist. So – let’s see if I’m right – againnnn! Oh gord! I’ve used the word ‘beautiful’. Get going on that! Spend time analysing that and me. Am I ...
What on earth am I on about now!? I ‘heard’ hundreds thinking it. Calm down. This is metaphor. Oh dear I should be more cautious really cuz it is a new world where metaphor has been replaced by the concretised thinking often seen on social media. Yuh know – this is where only mention of ...
What happens when you – meaning me – breaks all rules and imperatives of bonds? What the devil am I talking about!? The bonds are those rules that say what we ought to do and be – to appear normal – and be part of the ‘herd’. Departing from the rules given to the herd, ...
Those who don’t know Abba should crawl under a rock and remain there forever! Some will – of course – only see short skirts. Jeez! Amirite – againnnn? Of course I am! Those who need to be told what the song means should head here!
I’ll no doubt be judged by the many as fricking weird for posting this! Do I give a flying banana!? Did I say it wasn’t weird? I did not. I’ve looked at this music vid many times over the years. I’ve wondered, ‘What does it mean’? Well, obviously it means different things to different people. ...
I amuse myself on various forums; observing how the humans think. After all, the human race is gifted with a kind of thinking ability that has allowed them to split the atom and fathom quantum physics. They’ve even created quantum computers. So – you would think that this species is highly intelligent if you were ...
Well, this is bound to be a cure for insomnia for ‘some people’. Yuh know, “What are they saying?!! It is so confusing – gone straight over my head! Zzzzzzz!” Transcendence is a philosophical concept with crosses over into religious and spiritual concepts. To learn less do not read this. Extending the reach of conscious ...
The things I’ve heard about him are of the following kind, ‘he’s weird’ and ‘he’s spoken some nonsense about [blah blah]’. Some people only remember a headline that went like, Lord Sumption tells stage 4 cancer patient her life is ‘less valuable’ – which was spread across several tabloid and broadsheets. The woman with ...
Humans are driven by various things. Some will again be jumping on the net to Google everything, instead of thinking. Those who read pop-psychology will be about to lecture me on ‘needs’ which drive people i.e. things like primary (as per Freud) and secondary needs (as per Maslow). I have no argument that people need ...
I’ll try to keep this short. Intelligence quotients are fairly well correlated with abilities to reason. But it doesn’t mean that if your IQ is 130 that you will most times make much better decisions than everybody else. How? Because intelligence and thinking skills isn’t everything. Emotions can cause the smartest thinkers to make stupid ...
Yes words are cheap. It don’t cost much to say, “I care” or “I’m sorry” or “I love you“. You don’t have to pay to say these sorts of things. It is totally free! And somebody is gonna say ‘obviously’. Well, tough! I’ll say the obvious. I was going to write this blog as ‘What ...
This weekend I was busy completing a course on creativity in problem solving. I completed it. It was meant to take only about 4 weeks but it took me 6 months. There was no limit of time. In any case I read and think deeply about 90-odd percent of the materials and links they provide. ...
What a bold assertion – ‘Reading is dead’? I’ll explain what I mean as I go on. Experiences in the last few years have led me to conclude that people actually: I’m not talking about novels. I’m talking about stuff that makes a real difference to personal and professional development. Oh sure, nobody has a ...
It’s the name of a book! In the event that you don’t know Dr Bo Bennett, you are expected to jump on the net and start Googling madly. After all, you don’t know who’s who in this world – and everybody out there is a guru of some sort – right? I mean – like ...
I’m pretty sure some will be jumping on the net to read up what cliché means. Nobody is getting a dissertation here today. To start off net-crawlers, go here to read up. The one that has been getting to me more in the last 2 years is ‘.. to be fair‘. Every time I hear ...
Oh dear – in the last week the meme factory has been in overdrive after Nicky Minaj tweeted as below. This sparked side splitting laughter all over the net! Minaj is such an expert that, the Minister of Health in Trinidad had to fact check what she said on Twitter – then blamed Minaj ...
What is the ‘public domain’? This came up recently (Saturday 18th Sept 2021), in a telephone conversation. I had emailed a certain (nameless) medical professional earlier that day, in the context of business i.e. not some sort of social contact. In that email I said: This email address from which I correspond with you is ...
Recently I had the experience of communicating with another person who spoke mostly French. I speak only English – sorry (like I’m not). Both of us were using Microsoft Translate App. Those who haven’t caught up will be nosily interested in whether this is a male or female person. It is a male person, and ...
Some have never heard of NXIVM. Obviously they were too busy on the likes of Facebook and Instagram or whatever is more popular these days. For those not stuck on LameFlix or don’t have a dog to bathe immediately, pick up the background by a quick read of this. I mean quick because videos are ...
