Observations on the world and its inhabitants
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 ...
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 ...
Sometimes in life you question your own sanity. I’m talking about me of course. But it I don’t cause this. The idiots surrounding me cause this. Here is a situation which is an analogy to an underlying matter. Developer: Give me a quotation to build a house for me. Builder: May I have some specifics ...
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 ...
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 ...
Yep. That’s what I was told in a real FTF conversation tonight 2021-09-04 between 20:00 and 21:20PM. Some must wonder why I even engage in those kinds of discussions. Well, I discover how the average human being thinks. It is stupid basically – the patterns of thought – and the gross disregard for the rules ...
Well, I often post up situations I encounter as a sort of diary which then forms evidence for my patterns of thinking. Scenario This one was at a hotel A. There was some confusion on a Sunday night when I needed to check in. I had 5 nights which I accidentally double-booked for the following ...
As some will know, I have conversations with an imaginary character called Stupid. I haven’t explained much about Stupid before now. The particular features of Stupid: The above is not a full list, of course. How did this character develop? Over the years I’ve heard so many stupid utterances from people, that I have had ...
Right – so I’m at a hotel over a few days for the purposes of work. Yesterday 30th June 2021 around 19:00PM, I asked the receptionist if I could have a small package delivered from Amazon. She said “Yes – no problem I’ll put it on the system“. I saw her type it into the ...
A conversation yesterday 26th June 2021, got me thinking about this. By coincidence, I was in the process of weeding out junk-contacts from my contacts list. Someone – Person X – asked me for contact details for an accountant which I had passed to them a few months ago. Why? Because a) they can’t find ...
I tell you, somebody sends morons in my direction! It is a plot – or I’m like some sort of magnet for fools! Okay – calm down. No need to call the authorities to ‘take me away’. So what it is, is this: I park my car partly on a pavement – not in London, ...
Oh yes – it was another day in ‘Paradise’. This is a place that cannot be named, cuz I’m not economically independent as yet. But.. but one day the beans will be spilt – fully! Until then just get the anonymised story. So, there is nail-biting anxiety among folk over here about using a thing ...
This is England. They speak English over here. It is the national language. I live in England. I grew up speaking English in another land. It is my only language. I then spend over 30 years living in England speaking the English I knew from another land (that was an English colony), but learned some ...
Oh yes – this is what people do when they claim they’re working from home. Did I say ‘everybody’? I did not! It is amazing isn’t it – how people reach for the exceptions first. Okay – so yes – loads of people, do work hard from home in the pandemic period. Right – so ...
I am icing on the cake!! I can actually boast about that – because someone has said it. I have evidence. Oh -but I’m also a nightmare! Well to understand how I have been so described, one may have to spend sometime reading. Errhh.. should I apologise for stating that? I shall not – cuz ...
In the pandemic period loads of services are reduced. Most of the big food shops are open – and that’s fine – I’m supposed to say. FFS. When you get to public services, trust me it is a right mess. I’m talking about health and social care services mostly. ‘Everything’ is basically down to a ...
I’ve lost count now, the number of posts I’ve made on the nature of ‘friends’ and ‘friendship’. I’ll hyperlink to some of them at the end. If you jump straight into the conversation below you’ll miss the context, which I explain in the next paragraph. The Story This is a chat conversation from Google Hangouts ...
Some will have heard of Schrödinger’s Cat and some will not have heard of it. Those who have not heard of it may reach for Google or YouTube – but they may be too dim to understand any of that. Oooo.. how condescending! You can’t speak reality these days on social media without infantilising, insulting, ...
I am certainly not a prophet of anything! I’ve made a number of bold statements in a certain forum which have unfolded just as I expected. Predictions? Hold on – did I predict anything? I did not. None of my statements said ‘this is going to happen’. All my statements were probabilistic. I fully recognised ...
The pandemic period has assaulted me with stupidity – left, right, centre, top and down. It has been a very painful period. Some will say, “Well, you didn’t have to take in all that stupidity. You could have just looked elsewhere.” Before I get into that get into the interview with Piers Corbyn’s below. If ...
This post is of an anonymised online chat conversation I had on 14th October 2020. It went on for over 3 hours. I was doing other things in between. I was determined to learn something, though I knew I was dealing with idiots. The problem is that these idiots had a power structure around them, ...
For a long time, I’ve been observing how little people read things. Ahhhhh… but what does ‘read‘ or ‘reading‘ mean? The best definition I’ve found is, “the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message.” In this post I’m referring to things that people ought to have read i.e. various communications via electronic means and ...
Oh – I just had to post on this. Well, I was at a hotel last week. I had not been for several months due to COVID restrictions of several types. I had observed similar things at local supermarkets before getting to the hotel. So, this isn’t specific to hotels. It was a whole ‘new ...
As usual, it is some discussion in the background that motivates me to think deeply about these things. But I draw on my experience of how people approach problems in general. I’ve been trying to extract some broad themes across a range of ‘problems’. So, I’m not focusing on mathematical, IT or housing problems etc. ...
Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been on an e-cleaning binge! That means I’ve been sorting out loads of electronic files of all types and cleaning up electronic messages. Did I say ‘electronic messages‘? Just checking. Yes – I did! Some fool wants to know what does ‘electronic messages’ mean. Chrysst! People don’t know what ...
I’ve been told by many in my very limited circles that epic music is evil and only listened to by weird people. Well, weird I may be but ‘evil’ I am not – except to stupid people! Stick with the ‘evil’ thing. How do people come to ‘know’ that epic music is evil? They cannot ...
In case anybody thought they were gonna get a lecture with references to facts and figures, I state now – as I’ve done several times in the past – that I’m not here to spoonfeed anybody’s ass! I’ve been very silent on the COVID-19 virus until now. I’ve been watching – observing – what’s happening; ...
Did I say ‘controlling the world?’ I did NOT! I said ‘your world’. What does ‘your world’ mean? I mean the probabilities of events that are happening now and preparing for probabilities of events likely to happen in the future. Some fool needs an example. It is this simple: if you don’t top up your ...
