This week, an account that apparently reflects J.K. Rowling quasi-published something. The company that actually did publish something apparently “belongs” to someone named Elon Musk — though I highly doubt that no-one on Earth “owns” him (or her or it or whatever). Here’s the last sentence of the so-called “tweet” or “X” or so-called “factual”… Continue reading Submission to Popular Publicity (and the “Mainstream” Sinkhole)

Let’s Go to the Slop!
Like some lethargic oversized pig swaying in the sweltering heat down towards the beloved muddy pit, we now look forward towards the summer doldrums, dragging our feet through the cooling water while keeping our head somewhat above water in order to keep a lookout on what might be coming up — whether from the depths… Continue reading Let’s Go to the Slop!
ASS: Artificially Sentient Slop
Anyone who has successfully graduated grammar school ought to know that the plural form of “Nostradamus” is “Nostradami”. The hyper-inflation in Nostradami today is unprecedented. [1] The current flood of Nostradami is leading to rising levels of Doomsday books, for which we (of course) need ever more investments in artificial intelligence. One leading Nostradamus recently… Continue reading ASS: Artificially Sentient Slop
Exploring Humanity: Clickbait Edition
I’ve been asked to be part of an event to highlight some music I find worthy of highlighting at a weekend soiree in a couple weeks, and I’ve chosen to focus my “feature” on a brief period in musical history (roughly 1980’s, yet also as far back as the 1950’s and also much later —… Continue reading Exploring Humanity: Clickbait Edition
Cavities, Spaces, Pigeon Holes and the Tunnel-Vision through the Channels in Between Work and Life
This week, I’m living (and working) according to a little bit different time schedule than most weeks. Just a few days ago, I had a marathon movie viewing bout — I think I watched 4 movies in an 8-hour time frame. They were all very different, and one of them I chose mainly based on… Continue reading Cavities, Spaces, Pigeon Holes and the Tunnel-Vision through the Channels in Between Work and Life
Are You Experienced?
I’m a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix — I guess he must have been rather funny. This title of his (“Are You Experienced?” was the so-called “title track” song from his debut album) was obviously meant to be provocative, at least to people who are open to actually hearing and listening to the words …… Continue reading Are You Experienced?
They’re Eating the Sperm
While the global news cycle is winding down to take a little break and people all over listen the Pope’s “urbi et orbi” Spiel speech, I’ve decided to use this space to cover so-called “women‘s issues” and to highlight yet another episode of Bridget’s “Dumpster Fire” series (over at phetasy.com ). People who follow my… Continue reading They’re Eating the Sperm
Mythical Man in the Mirror versus IRL Human in the Middle
I recall hearing Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” being played over and over again on the radio. I didn’t know the title of the song back then, and I actually seemed to hear it as “Man in the Middle”. Every now and then I would think “what is he saying about middlemen?” It probably… Continue reading Mythical Man in the Mirror versus IRL Human in the Middle
The Razzle-Dazzle of New & Improved vs. the Tried & True But Tired of Old & Over-Used
A while ago, I became aware of a book published last year, authored by Tali Sharot, titled “Look Again”. In an introductory statement to a talk given by the author at Google, the presenter states: “Look Again” explores all the ways that our brain’s ability to habituate to novel experiences over time affects our behavior,… Continue reading The Razzle-Dazzle of New & Improved vs. the Tried & True But Tired of Old & Over-Used
Authority, Certifications, Trust in Social Order and Novice Internet Users
In my humble opinion, over 99.9% of Internet users are novices when it comes to evaluation of information sources. This is, for the most part, based on two things. First, my simple and straightforward observations with ordinary everyday people. Secondly (and more importantly) the obvious and glaring shortcomings of education systems worldwide, which neglected the… Continue reading Authority, Certifications, Trust in Social Order and Novice Internet Users
