When does the search or understanding, or sympathy, tip over into collusion and fellow travelling? When does the wish that we could all “just get along” tip over into inaction in the face of behaviour that will get us all dead? If you’re looking for answers to those questions, stop reading now, cos I’m all... Continue Reading →
Lightbulb jokes, narcissism and our species-be-doomed
I really like lightbulb jokes (I like cheese jokes too, but here I will focus on lightbulb jokes and you will thank me later). I like the one "how many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?" Answer - only one but the lightbulb has to really want to change. I like the one... Continue Reading →
Heat cubed – with Airfarce One as a counterpoint. On leaders and leadership
Watched Air Farce One last night. What a brilliantly-made (directed, acted, edited) terrible movie. It had nothing to say about anything, because it was a movie rather than a film (1). That's not to say "said" nothing - see the Unclear and Present Danger podcast folks for a take on how it helped Dubya become... Continue Reading →
The grid is not stable: Sudoku, the 1997 film Cube, the Daily Heil, phenomenology – all human life is here
This year I am going to write something short, mostly daily, about what is going on – “2 cents on the Arrived Ecological Debacle” (2cotAED). I have to write it; you don’t have to read it. If you DO read it, feel free to tell me how wrong I am (and hopefully why). Re: the debacle aspect:... Continue Reading →
The cannibalistic left and its sanctimony (from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie interview)
Trigger warning - mention of sexual assault, alleged (but not actual) transphobia. On every issue there are some positions that are so far beyond the pale that to debate them, to allow them into the discussion is to normalise them (and even denouncing them helps to normalise them). It's not a question of the existence... Continue Reading →
From “science” (cough, cough) to science fiction
Yesterday saw one of those very common-if-we-attend-them moments of serendipity. I bought the following book - Braine Wave by Poul Anderson - at "Beware the Leopard" in St Nicholas Market, Bristol. (It was definitely the only book I bought, and anyone who says otherwise will be hearing from my lawyers). And then, on the train... Continue Reading →
Of Bion & Brearely, Google & the Gulf of … America, biodiversity as an unword. And the HUMILIATION aspect. #2cotAED

“The beatings will continue until morale improves” – Starmer’s gang and their limited cognitive toolkit. Also Trump.

A Senator pleads with Republican colleagues to defend the Constitution (crickets, obvs). Also, Zelensky not running away in 2022, Sun Day in September… #2cotAED
