  • Evolved Homo Sapiens (and the frustrated “ID”)

    As we move further into the 21st century, shared delusions about human complementarity with robots, “artificial intelligence”– or even the bizarre fantasy of a forthcoming “trans-human” fusion with AI (Ray Kurzweil’s “Singularity” 1 ) — are becoming all-pervasive.  In a previous article, “Homo Sapiens: Not a Machine!,” I offered a trenchant critique of this growing […]

  • Peter Hotez’s War Against Science

    Image from Ferrovial press release, “Baylor College of Medicine Receives $162,000 Donation from Ferrovial and Webber Amid COVID-19 Crisis” This article was written by a physician who writes using the pseudonym “A Midwestern Doctor”. Both Dr. Pierre Kory and I are fans of this work and insights, I subscribe to his substack, and you may […]

  • Doing Nothing? In a Trance? Recipes for the End of Humanity

    From time to time, I read articles defying any semblance of rationality. They are, in a nutshell, absurd and some frightening. My immediate impulse to rebut is thwarted because I either missed the deadline to respond or no opportunity to comment exists. This article is my opportunity to rebut! I bear no malice toward the […]

  • Geoffrey Hinton, AI, and Google’s Ethics Problem

    Talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence, actual or imagined, has become feverish, much of it induced by the growing world of generative chat bots. When scrutinising the critics, attention should be paid to their motivations. What do they stand to gain from adopting a particular stance? In the case of Geoffrey Hinton, immodestly seen […]

  • Why Would Anyone Ever Assume We’re Not Being Manipulated 24/7?

    So many people I know get very defensive when I discuss the plandemic machinations. They either can not accept that manipulation is the standard operating procedure for those in charge or that they would ever be gullible enough to be tricked on a regular basis. That’s when I tell them about the Gruen Transfer. Victor […]

  • On Human Nature: Thinking, Believing, and Seeing

    What is our very nature as human beings? Philosophers, poets, psychologists  and other human beings ad nauseam down through the ages have addressed that question. Is it presumptuous or arrogant of me to chime in with my two cents? Or make it three cents since I will “only” tackle three attributes of human nature; thinking, […]

  • The Dogmatic Personality

    The Dogmatic Personality

    Orientation Dogmatisms as a process not content What does it mean to think dogmatically about something? On the surface, dogmatism seems associated with religious beliefs. While most world religions can be dogmatic, this implies there is no dogmatism outside of religion. We know that is not true. Many people accuse socialists of being dogmatic. In […]

  • Leaving Patholopolis

    With each crossing of the street, with the tempo and multiplicity of economic, occupational and social life, the city sets up a deep contrast with small town and rural life with reference to the sensory foundations of psychic life. — Georg Simmel1 Five thousand years ago, the first cities emerged as, and remain today, marketplaces–concentrated […]

  • Three Reasons Why Public High Schools Don’t Teach Critical Thinking

    Three Reasons Why Public High Schools Don’t Teach Critical Thinking

    The following warning should be affixed atop every computer in America’s schools: Proceed at your own risk. Don’t accept as true what you’re about to read. Some of it is fact; some of it is opinion masquerading as fact; and the rest is liberal, conservative, or mainstream propaganda. Make sure you know which is which […]

  • The Home: the Most Powerful Influence on Learning

    The most powerful influence on learning is a student’s home life over which teachers have no control. This is a crucial yet obvious fact that the federal and state governments incredibly refuse to acknowledge in evaluating teacher performance. Students who come from homes conducive to learning usually do well in school. Their parents do a […]
