The Wisdom of Why
First, let me address the roomful of elephants before I begin: I have found no prerequisite forcing me to reject religion in order to accept science; the reverse is also true. As a Christian who is curious by nature, I find myself questioning *why* things are the way we experience them. Until recently, most ‘scientists’
Some People Change
Words. Words. Words. M*A*S*H is still one of my favorite tv programs – even after 40 years or so. In one episode, the main character (Hawkeye) is asked what book he would take with him should he be stranded on a deserted 🏝. His answer? “The dictionary. I figure it has all the other books
Republic or Democracy
As I write this, no one has any idea who our “new” POTUS will be. Ballots are still being counted, recounted, verified, etc. To be honest, I really don’t care who wins. The “lesser of the 2 evils” is STILL evil. But I digress. The impetus for this post is hearing politicians, media members, and
Alternative Facts/Post-Truth?
A wise man named Mahatma Gandhi coined the term Satyagraha. Its definition (loosely translated) means truth force – or “holding onto truth”. In this crazy modern world, especially in the disastrous year 2020, “truth” would seem to be on life support, if not dead already. I am gonna propose a theory on why I think
Politics of Unity
When I began studying Philosophy many years ago, I quickly became enamored with the ancient Greeks – not just their philosophy, but their views on mathematics, science, engineering, governance, and life in general. I read a lot of Plato – and learned a lot about my hero – Plato’s teacher – Socrates. Plato wrote a
Time For A Haircut – Or Is It?
Like everyone else in America, I have struggled with this Covid-19 pandemic, how to deal with it, and when is it ok to move on with life. Well, as I have watched nature move from spring into summer I have noticed something: nothing in nature has changed. The birds have all paired off and nested.
Joe Scott – A Hero’s Friend
A YouTube vlogger I follow posted this video a few hours ago. I found it thought provoking enough to post here 👇 https://youtu.be/5TWhWmLXWd8 Perhaps Joe has grasped what I was so frustrated about in my last post? If “essential employees” are SOOO critical and important, why are they not compensated accordingly? This thought made me
History of Virology
Notice how many scientists and methods it took to reach the first vaccine. This Coronavirus may require totally new technology and methods to defeat. https://youtu.be/wnj7dt7Jt7A
Corona Thoughts
There was a French polymath who lived in the 17th century named René Descartes. He is remembered for many things, but one of the most famous is a quote of his, “Cogito, ergo sum” that is, “I think, therefore I am.” You can read more about him and his life here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/descartes/ With apologies to
