Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Headlines often proclaim that rising business rates are “killing the high street,” forcing businesses to close their doors. This narrative frames the tax as a singular, destructive force responsible for the decline of retail and the loss of jobs. While business rates are a significant financial pressure, a deeper economic analysis reveals a more complex ...
“Honesty is the best policy.” We’ve heard this since childhood, seen it emblazoned on inspirational posters, and nodded along when it’s offered as relationship advice. It’s one of those universal virtues that nobody publicly disputes. After all, who would advocate for dishonesty? Yet in the messy reality of human relationships, honesty isn’t the straightforward virtue ...
Right – today I am declaring that I am ahead of my time! Those who would bawl “Arrogant!!” are told to STFU. Why? Because yet again I see the world catching up with me! As some will know, if they’ve not been sleeping under a rock for some years, ‘friends’ and ‘friendships’ have been one ...
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 ...
Apparently – people are now so busy that they are unable to view videos I send them via YouTube links. I recently sent the following video interview to several following on the post ‘Why I am proud to be a conspiracy theorist‘. Whoops – that’s approximately 2 hours long – TERRIBLE for those who have ...
Today I’m proud to have been called a conspiracy theorist. That means I was just about a year early. Well, you looked down the page, and thought “He’s among his own kind – so there!” It is fine. As I’ve said a zillion times before ‘truth and reality are my only friends!‘ Well, when I ...
Sadly most will have no time for the pearls of wisdom being shared in these videos. Bathing and walking dogs are far more important – not to mention Instagram, FB, Twitter, Neflix and Amazon. No time. Hence, stupidity continues to rule.
Wow! I’m just loving Musk for what he is doing with Twitter. It is world changing! See what the WSJ says (link may not survive forever). Of course not everybody will understand or appreciate. My bias has always been for freedom of expression. I nor Musk never said unrestricted free speech! FFS! So what happened? ...
As some will not know, perception, truth, reality, decision-making and related things have occupied me a lot on this blog. Why this post today? I’ve been trying to work out how some people perceive me to be nice, and others perceive me to be arrogant, condescending, patronising and narcissistic. People see different sides of me ...
