A god or not a god, what is the question?
This can really only go two ways, either this whole thing is a coincidence, just a process of enery moving from compact to defuse, and this physical reality is just an emergent part of that movement of energy, or it's not and there is a reason, a point, a god?Maybe it's two membranes colliding, an accidental "spark" that ignited the big bang, or just a cyclic movement of energy from defuse to compact to defuse again, on an endless cycle of creation and desctruction of what we see as this physical universe.It could be, but a mechanical explanation of an accidental phenomenon is, well, kind of soulless, empty and a bit of a crap explanation if you were looking for any hint of a "why".Is a meaning required? Do we need a why to explain the how? Does the "how" not stand on its own? "The Universe is here through coincidence, any meaning you find is your own.""God did it and it's a test."Is...
How to Renew Your Spirit
A few years ago my family and I began a practice that became far more successful than I thought it would be. We initiated the habit of going around the dinner table after saying the blessing to give each person a turn to say what they are grateful for that day. All of us have grown to love this moment in the day, but the practice has yielded a surprising fruit. The littlest people at our table (two year-olds) have the most enthusiasm for their chance to proclaim their joy over whatever strikes their fancy that day. They deliver their thankfulness with gusto that we adults are too serious and restrained by social protocol to match. They shout things like "Elephants!"with absolute conviction that elephants are the most fantastic creatures to ever exist. Sometimes it's something like "orange!" followed by spontaneous and exuberant applause. None of us adults can get away with...
The Madness of Evil
Another ambulance just went our place with the sirens at full blast. There's been a fair few of them in the past few months and I don't live in a big city. Every time one of those swing by our main street, I ask myself if it's somehow correlated with the number of healthcare workers that have been stood down because of the jib-jab mandates. A couple of days ago while I was listening to a DarkHorse podcast clip where Brett and Heather were talking about being dragged into someone else's psychosis, a thought struck me afterwards. People who aren't religious or adherents to a faith and are trying to make sense of the chaos that's going on in this world like the rest of us are compelled to raid the psychology textbooks for the labels. The usual words get thrown around social media -- psychopath, sociopath, psychosis, hypnosis. I've heard Dr Mattias Desmet talk about the phenomenon of mass...
Reacting to “YouTube - Divide by zero”: Dark Horse
I really liked Heather’s and Bret’s thoughts on censorship, the relationship between theoretical and experimental science, the role of federal grant money in corrupting academic institutions, the newly published ivermectin study, and on similarities between George Orwell’s “1984” and the current state of the world. It is clear to me that the world would be a better place if there were more scientists willing to host long form, honest, exploratory conversations like Bret and Heather. I think this positive change will be amplified if less importance is bestowed upon the proclamations of public health officials. This way, scientific thinking becomes accessible by the masses instead of serving up the results of science through a medium that can easily be used to deceive when it should inform.YouTube’s decision to remove Bret’s conversations with Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Robert Malone, and...
Hmmm... an exercise in linking the dots?
it is a connect the dots exercise....first they put up hundreds of 5G satellites in low earth orbit,then there is a disease, yet to be isolated, anywhere, Imagine!Then there is an injection, most of which have graphene oxide in them...Now your job is to find the differences between the symptom spectrum of 5G radiation poisoning, the purported disease, and graphene Oxide poisoning...... and like in the early 1920's, communication of the "disease" is not reliant on living together because it has often struck only one of a couple living together...... it is a trick answer.................... there is virtually no difference between the symptom spectrum for any of the above conditions and, funny enough, autopsies show the same problems causing death.Connect the dots, yet?
Climate Change as Our Most Recent Iteration of Religious Sacrifice
Climate change is big topic in America. But why does the public embrace it? Climate change is not a new idea; it is the modernization of an old one which humans have long believed.--In 2016, three-out-of-four Americans reported that they were particularly concerned about helping the environment as they go about their daily lives(1). As seen below three years later, half of Americans said that human activity contributes "a great deal" to climate change. Indeed, Americans believe in climate change, and believe that they are responsible. But where do these ideas come from?It is particularly telling that of the ~50% who blame humans, a great deal say that the science doesn't agree. Indeed, there is a major discrepancy between what Americans say about climate change and what they say science says about climate change:Above, we see that ~50% of Americans believe humans contribute a great...
