Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Well, Jordan Peterson has his ‘12 Rules for Life‘. The Ferengi have their ‘Rules of Acquisition‘, so I just got a bee in my bonnet and created my 50 rules! Rule #1: “A closed mouth gathers no feet.” Rule #2: “Never trust anyone who says ‘trust me.'” Rule #3: “Efficiency is the highest form of ...
If you don’t know who the Ferengi are, then you need to get a life!
Yes – apparently that’s me! How? Because I told someone that they could delete their post, and said that I took a screenshot – when they twice said in the same post they were going to delete their post on social media. Ahhh… but there is context, you see. The individual was ‘opening up about ...
In the canvas of human relationships, there exists a phenomenon that cuts to the core of our social nature – the experience of being a “throw away person”. This term describes individuals who find themselves unexpectedly and inexplicably cast aside by those they once considered close friends or confidants. To be clear, this post is ...
The craze surrounding the site Onemillioncheckboxes (OMCB) reflects an interesting intersection of collaborative and competitive online behaviour. The concept of one million checkboxes, initially designed to be checked off collectively, has evolved into a platform for users to express creativity, engage in community-driven projects, and even participate in virtual tug-of-war scenarios.

No – I’m not struggling to cope. The world struggles to cope with certain types of phenomena. What types are those? Slow burn or insidious [there are online dictionaries if needed] Fast burn: explosive evolutionary path. Those that do not immediately confront the senses. I decided to have (yet another) conversation with ChatGPT. Of late ...

“What now?“- you may wonder. “What’s he on about this time?” – I’m no mind reader but I may have heard you think it. Well – it is been playing on my mind – in the back of my consciousness – that the humans have a ‘suspend mode‘. Oh yes – I’ve been observing for ...
You couldn’t make it up! The story below is truly beyond ridiculous. But.. but it comes on the back of two other recent investigations (see below). You’d think that ‘they’d be more cautious’ but no. See the Panorama investigation into Edenfield in the last quarter of 2022 (full credits to the BBC). Sorry, it cannot ...
If your name is Rip van Winkle, you would not know that there is an energy crisis on over the last couple months. That was brewing for over a year but the war in Ukraine made it more prominent. It would have happened anyway but that’s a different story. I’ve seen my diesel bill jump ...
