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
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
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
Virtual Milieus (vs. IRL Milieus)
A couple weeks ago, I pondered the question “What is a Milieu with No Location?” [ https://indigenous.news.blog/2025/02/12/distributed-milieus-what-is-a-milieu-with-no-location ] This week, I heard an interview with Silke Borgstedt (“Geschäftsführerin” at Sinus-Institut) — she was invited as a guest to a local news program in order to explain what insights her company might be able to provide in… Continue reading Virtual Milieus (vs. IRL Milieus)
Mediation Between Rational Media and Real World Advertising Interests
A little over a week ago, I posted a review of a blog post which mentioned using Google to search for typing.com [1] and of course I was amused that someone (and indeed people in general) still feel an urge to continue using irrational media. [2] Curious nonetheless, I went to check out typing.com —… Continue reading Mediation Between Rational Media and Real World Advertising Interests
After More than 2 Decades of Blogging, When Will We Ever Be Able to Clearly Define What is a Blog?
I am quite certain that most people feel quite differently than I do about what the term “Blog” refers to. Personally, I feel I stick rather closely to the original understanding that it’s shorthand for “weblog” (see also “Captain’s Log“). In my humble opinion, a blog is the result of using software to create a… Continue reading After More than 2 Decades of Blogging, When Will We Ever Be Able to Clearly Define What is a Blog?
Weird
Weird seems to be one of those “Words of the Day”. Last night, something occurred to me along those lines. Often, when I warn people about the propaganda they consume regularly via Google, they mention something peculiar (or weird?) — that if they click on something, or type something into Google’s search box, that the… Continue reading Weird
