some commentary on the utøya shootings
Daft people live in fear, and so build around them a cocoon of make-believe which makes them feel safe. For such people, feeling is vastly more important and relevant than the real world - the real world that they fear so much. Such people will always vote for those who tell them comforting lies. One crude analysis is that the left-wing is female - mummy, while the right-wing is male - daddy. Mummy tends to protect the children
from the nasty world with comfort stories. Sane people grow up, hard times make a few grow up. Then daddies go to war, and mummies struggle to keep the cotton wool around the children. And in this situation, the adult children had no means to protect themselves. the web address for the article above is |

screws of the world: faux outrage in every direction As if anyone can involve themselves
with the Screws and simultaneously keep their hands clean. “And it’s not us,it really isn’t.” As if there isn’t a darker world involving politicians, police and ‘news’papers, power and money, envy and ambition. The whining hysterical hypocrisy is worse than the original degeneracy. There is little more shabby than the screeching chatter of the fallen monkey seeking and attacking, in pursuit of spurious reputation. again, Rupert Murdoch,and his son, do the right thing - they bin this most poisonous rag. the web address for the article above is | |

A group of English men had been recruited by Soviet Russia to spy for the USSR, all recruited while they were studying at Cambridge University. There were known to be five, but only the four were definitively identified. Eventually, each of the four was caught. But were there any other similarities?
This occured in the 1930s, 80 years ago, an age where far less was known and young fools get romantic notions. Their education was not serious education, it was pseudo-intellectualism. Not one of them had a background in scientific education. In those days, the propaganda was that the Soviet socialists were on our side and, of course, many unsophisticated and gullible people believed it. Remember, it is much easier to fool people who know nothing. It is much easier to sell a daft theory to a person who knows nothing but theory, who has no real-life experience. It is wrong to imagine that just because a person has some unaccompanied parrot degree, that they are ‘educated’. Neither does a sane franchise by examination exclude any above the level of an IQ of 90 or so. I do not regard doing languages or history as teaching people to think clearly. They are mostly memory games, although they have moved on somewhat from 80 years ago. Theory alone is not education. Passing exams is not a sufficient definition of ‘education’. People with dull minds can pass exams, and remain very poorly informed. related material the web address for the article above is | |
italy hasn’t learned from the ‘trial’ of galileo “Earthquake prediction can be a grave, and faulty science, and in the case of Italian seismologists who are being tried for the manslaughter of the people who died in the 2009 L'Aquila quake, it can have legal consequences. the web address for the article above is | |
