TRUST SCIENCE?

OR NOT … 

for me the only answer is yes. Yes, one hundred percent!

Sometimes …

… and other times I think “What’s in it for him? Her? It?” referring to the experts in question. But one thing in common to each and every expert—

—he or she is always right and everyone else either wrong, incorrect, badly instructed, loopy or just plain deluded.

I FORGET THE NAME

of the unhung genius who after assiduous research reported on the Life Expectancy of a fact. Any fact. Sadly I also forget the endurance of incumbent fact(s), but it is surprisingly brief.

‘Nuff on that; on with the bleat!

“… When scientists discovered beautiful hand stencils painted on the walls of an Indonesian cave back in the 1950s, they thought the artwork was about 10,000 years old.

But a new analysis shows that the artwork from the Sulawesi cave is about four times older, dating all the way back to 40,000 years ago.

That places the hand paintings among the oldest art ever discovered — a finding that challenges the traditional view that creative art first arose not in Asia but in the West…”

The clock keeps winding itself ever further back despite the ferocious resistance put up by ‘experts’ whose tenure, stipend, reputation etc might be on the line or toppled by new discoveries.

So? So I was drawn by this snap. To my untrained but red-blooded eye it looks surprisingly feminine. In short, I was expecting big-hairy-brute-with-huge-club and got a refugee from Swan Lake instead.

I recall that a year or three back someone floated the notion that the cave arts were mostly (if not all) done by wimmin brutes rather than man brutes. Perhaps they were right … and the male of the species better suited to putting out the cat and bringing in the newsrocks. Is the paradigm changing?

I have no idea. Go ask a scientist for todays opinion … but don’t quote it tomorrow because it will be yesterday’s—and there’s a finite limit on knowledge*. Just ask Virginia Steen McIntyre …

*  ‘Knowledge’ is opinion. (Current opinion … so when quoting or using, always be careful to be up-to-date.)

 

 

ENOUGH ON THE DEATH

OF GOD~!

Dammit, I’m more concerned about the death of the English language. You know, the staff of life of our communication.

BUT THEN

evolution exists and itself must evolve; and with it the tools of commerce. But do we have to accept degradation as progress? What say you, Snowflake? (Oops … them snowflakes is the last guys I should arks.)

I began to be interested in the topic after conversations with several Atheists who make the claim that Moses isn’t real …

Of course Moses ain’t real. If he ever were, he’d be awesomely deceased right now—not even a blob of goo, I imagine, after all these years.

when presented with contrary evidence, the atheist scholar indicates that they will only accept ‘unbiased’ work, which means they will only accept a historical thesis by a none Abrahamic believer …

Okaaaaaay … they indicates that they like some bits of words to agrees with other bits, yer no? fair enough to, that’s the weigh it’s going—but surely that ‘none’ is one e too far?

And Ol’ Philip Augustine is going for a doctorate? Wow …

Why not—even doctors need know their subject, which he probably does; and writing is merely a means of display (of communication too, once …).

It’s natural that the secular scholar will not actively search for a result that contradicts their beliefs, but expects scholars of faith to do so.

Oops. I must be the exemption that proves the rule*. But this modern disregard of grammatical number greats my sensitivit  sensibili  feelings. It triggers the troll in me.

Where’s the evidence? Now, this isn’t a philosophical discussion that relies on the metaphysical like the discussion whether there is a supreme being or not. The thesis being discussed is whether Moses was a living breathing actor…

Bugger. The Spouse just called through, are we going to town or not? So sadly ol’ Phil is off the hook. I’ll go to town with the missus and shan’t address the collapse of midden edjucation no more, my hart is two full.

* See? I can do it too … but I do it knowingly. (Not that I’d call anyone working for a doctorate unknowing. Tut!)

 

 

IT’S OK

to be a

RACIST

or a sexist, or an anything-ist. Go for it.

NO, REALLY, I

do mean it.

Do it, dude. Dudette. Whatever.

Do it to them before they do it to you; pre-emptive is allowed in self-defense (sometimes).

SO GO AHEAD

and form your own opinions*. All I ask is that they actually are your own. Yours, Sir, Madame, or Undecided.

And now, your quote:

“Why is racism always a black/white thing? Am I expected to represent everyone in my group? Are guys always expected to pay on a date? Spend the semester exploring these and many other questions in the Multicultural Center’s three credit hour course. Classes meet twice a week and aim to expand self-awareness and develop valuable dialogue skills. Receive credit for the Leadership Minor and/or the Social Diversity in the U.S. GE while examining and discussing issues and experiences relevant to …”

And those guys aren’t in it just for the giggles. What makes it all the more pathetic is that they are serious in pursuit of the student buck. Brrr. At one time the Halls of Learning purveyed education, nowadays they just push social compliance. Brrrrrrrrrrrr …
