Observations on the world and its inhabitants
I really don’t understand. It is so unfair. I tried to learn and thought I did learn what was important to doctors on a certain forum. Then I’m beaten up for the understanding I was led to. Oh well it is the rough and tumble of forums, I must understand and try to accept – ...
No – you don’t need to know all the details. I became concerned that maybe – just maybe it was possible for someone else to be me. So, I had to double check and think about it. The following is from a forum where I sought an opinion (not advice).
I’ve long said that cultures and traditions rules minds. Of course, I’ve been gathering evidence in various domains over the years. The towels and linen situation has been most intriguing. Not many people seem to know about this. How? Nobody in the last 33 years has volunteered similar observations. What is it? A picture is ...
Thought disorder is not a diagnosis nor do I allude to a mental condition in Bloggs below. In psychiatry when thought disorder is observed, it may point to any of a dozen underlying mental disorders. But note carefully that the environment of observation would be clinical and not extend into the wider world. However, many ...
Unless you’ve been buried under a Rock or you are Rip van Winkle himself, you will not have heard of ChatGPT. But the way it works is that the many will say, “I don’t understand it – I’m not a tech geek so I left it alone. Furthermore, the government said it could be dangerous! ...
As some will know I spend time on certain social media forums. The reasons have been explained before but I will again just in case someone has stupidly forgotten or won’t take the time to find out. Statement of intent I spend time there observing human thought processes. No – I’m not ‘psychoanalysing’ or psychiatrising ...
As many know the topic of stupidity has occupied me privately and on this blog for quite a while. I’ve not written about it for quite some time. That ought not to mean that stupidity has died! The story below shows stupidity and its power. Summary: I can book at Booking.com for the same apartment ...
Introduction In the vast corridors of time, humanity emerged as a beacon of intelligence and innovation, casting a shadow across the cosmos that intrigued the imagination of both the dwellers of Earth and, perhaps, extra-terrestrial beings. We, the inhabitants of the blue planet, had embarked on a journey of unearthing the secrets of the universe, ...
Arrogance is a personality trait characterised by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, superiority, and a lack of empathy or consideration for others. Arrogant individuals tend to have an inflated sense of their own abilities, achievements, or worth, and may display a dismissive or condescending attitude towards others. They often believe that they are more deserving ...
I knew nothing of this until today. I’m not like ‘OMG’, because nothing much surprises me these days about human nature. The link to the full story will only be live for about 24 hours, so tough if you’re late. The excerpt from The Times is below (full credits to them). Those who need to ...
“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 ...
Dog-bathers are running for cover!! OMG! Like 3 hours of video? “No way!”, I hear them screaming as they zip off like The Roadrunner from Looney Tunes! ?? Or there is the other group who want everything in 5 words. GET LOST NOW! Well the shear stupidity of large systems and people in the above ...
Unfortunately for those who prioritise dog-bathing, Instagram and Netflix, this is a deep and complex story running for 80 minutes. I cannot simplify it into 5 words nor am I so thick as to attempt to do so. You take it or you leave it. Most will never listen to the whole interview. I couldn’t ...
As some may not know, everybody has roughly (on average) 27,375 days here on earth. An average person of age 50 will have 9,125 days left to live. If 65 then they have 3,650 days left to live. My time is running out! I want to spend my time doing what I find meaningful. Idiots ...
As I continue my sojourn through life, I discover so much that I did not know or appreciate. There are not enough hours in my day. I’ve cut back on sleep as much as I can. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious, that human stupidity accounts for so many serious disasters, yet ...
I’ve been tracking certain goings-on at a certain online forum. I previously asserted in that forum that comments that offended the government were being removed. The following is as close as I can get to that proof. Just to be clear – wrong opinions appear all the time on the captioned social media forum. They ...
The words in the title of this post ‘guilty by reason of sanity‘ cannot be found on Google without other words before or after. You can find ‘Not’ in front of the words. What is it It is the title of a book, I’m considering writing. What motivates the title is that on many occasions, ...
The following email was sent to Amazon tonight. ============== I got this message tonight on the Amazon.co.uk platform. (2022-09-01 around 23:00). >>We apologize but Amazon has noticed some unusual reviewing activity on this account. As a result, all reviews submitted by this account have been removed and this account will no longer be able to ...
Some will be afflicted by the Semmelweis Reflex to immediately reject this post and linked reports. Others will bawl, “I could be run over by a bus – so what?” Well, read this excerpt first if you’re still here – from Nature Journal 17th Aug 2022: Huge volcanic eruptions: time to prepare. Over the next ...
Some will be reaching for Google and dictionaries on this. Some fine examples of Barnum statements, “Humans a not perfect“, or “Everybody makes mistakes – are you perfect?” or “Not everybody is a scientist.” The words seem to hold a truth held dear by ordinary people. But in essence they lack depth by the way ...
I marvel at the way the humans think. But then – are they actually thinking? The way you work that is to say, “Some do – some don’t.” Giant orbiting teapot So – there is a massive teapot orbiting the Earth and it is about to pour tea on everybody. How do I know? Well, ...
Oh dear me. I’ve made somebody unhappy by causing a chippy shop smell in a kitchen. Well, there’s always a first time as they say. So what’s the story? I’m living in shared accommodation at a hospital for work purposes. That’s nothing new as I’ve done this on few occasions before. Dr X was unpleasantly ...
Again this exploration is motivated by what I see on social media platforms. I often read or hear, “The fact is… (blah blah)..”. But what does that mean? What does fact mean? What do people mean when they refer to ‘fact‘? Of course I’ve not been able to directly quiz those who assert their ‘facts‘. ...
Not everybody is the same – jeez I know it is obvious. So – why are there people who are called weird? I’m not talking about looks. Some people think differently about things, so they are labelled as weird. This is because they have some ideas that are pretty different to ‘everybody‘. This means that ...
Often times I make assertions based on my experiences. Social media occupies a lot of my time. I can observe how the humans think and react. I gather a lot of evidence, but I don’t often have the time to show what I gather. Well today provided a classic. Some chap or chappess, did not ...
Belief and believing (etc) have been a big part of my attention for many years. Having read a lot on this, I decided to start all over. What I mean is, I’m going back to the roots of belief. There are things that determine beliefs and I will go into that as well. Why should ...
In a previous post, I had reason to conclude that ‘Reading is dead‘. Of course one can read and understand nothing! The social media era has seen a destruction of both reading as a physical act of moving the eyes across the page and decoding words – but also people don’t even understand what words ...
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.. ...
