The Good and the Bad News about Academic Research, Communities, and Degrowth Ethics
While this article by Rachel Handforth is not strictly on this subject, there are some very helpful insights and though this is mostly about PhDs and how people think of advanced research in the UK, it feels very close to home here in the US. Handforth writes, A 2025 report on public attitudes to science …

(Repost) The test we are under and the Subconscious Signature (Parts I, II, and III)
The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too …

(repost) Collective Ethical Patience and Problem Solving in a Capitalist Society (Parts I and II)
It can at times be very difficult to retain an ethical view of the world when the wealthy and privileged, on both the left and the right, are open when being complete jerks. And those wealthy, on both the left and the right, never lose face or their social standing by being jerks. However, that …
Note: Can you think of a scientist who would never betray you?
If you are being honest with yourself I bet you are finding it difficult to answer that questions. Of course, they preach parity, unity, one shared edification of collaborative justice. They would most likely almost always be there for each other because, well, that’s relationship building and more specifically, the social connectivity of careerism. Unless …

Revisiting W. Robertson Nicoll
About 25 years ago I had the 5 volume set of W. Robertson Nicoll’s Expositor’s Greek Testament. I don’t not remember what happened to them, but you can get the PDFs on Internet Archive, here.

Abrahamic Imprint
I write a lot about my God with no religion both here and in in my poems from time to time. However, I do have moments when I stop and worry that the Abrahamic God is real. That really frightens me because having spent something like a lifetime studying the Abrahamic texts, and not “cherry …
Note: You should start preparing your mind
It is completely possible that a time will shortly be coming that to even say the words, “Rule of Law,” is enough to get you arrested, if not in solitary confinement. Listen for the Subconscious Signature. (For clarification, you may also need to see: Whatever you are wearing is your uniform and the conjoining post, …
Entitlement Replaced Pride
The idea that pride is the worst offense to oneself and to one’s fellow human family is obsolete, outdated, and has now become abstract. The current worst offense of our contemporary age is without a doubt entitlement, in how it shapes the self as a directive more deserving than others. It is entitlement that is …
Two sided mirror
Pro-government leftists are the new centrists.
Whatever you are wearing is your uniform
(cross-posted) Accidentally watched an ongoing loop of newsertainment political-porn about growing public frustration with ICE. I do not think it captured reality. I do not think that was the intention; by the media or the sitting office holders. I realized I have no idea what is going on out there. No TV. No NYT. No …
