Persistent Failure

News anchors have immense difficulty ending conversations with guests. There’s always a mess of extended pauses and interruptions at the conclusion of a discussion, making it all very awkward for all parties involved, including the viewers. There has to be a fix for this seemingly simple problem. Maybe a simple protocol for all anchors to [...]

Boundless Sympathy

Over the past few weeks, I have come to realize that I have complete sympathy for every human being.
When I see someone, I see them as an innocent newborn who has been burdened (or blessed) with their genetic dispositions and their social and environmental experiences.
I can’t describe how much at peace I am with this.

I think I’m an “agnostic secular-humanist”

In light of reality, I find it difficult to believe in a good god, or any other higher being or collection of higher beings that is indeed good.
So, I’ve thought:
If there’s no good god: Fuhgeddaboudit.
If there’s a bad god: Fuhgeddaboudit.
If there’s no god: Fuhgeddaboudit.
Now, I think I’m an “agnostic secular-humanist”, which doesn’t make me a [...]

“Can I Just Have One A’ More Moon Glance With You…?”

The day before yesterday, I witnessed the Moon Illusion, when the Moon in Summer appears unusually large when close to the horizon. To me, it’s always an awe-inspiring moment because it gets me thinking about stuff.
First, I think about the Moon crashing into Earth. (Talk about a slap in the face!) It’s [...]

Awkward Anxiety

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an unorthodox feeling of consternation for a certain meteorological condition.
Specifically, I’m referring to days when the sky is of a uniform light blue color and completely devoid of clouds or any other items that would disturb the skyscape.
In such circumstances, believe it or not, I feel [...]

A Post About Some Agnostic Musings

Not knowing the meaning of life or what happens after death is frustrating.
Absolute and Ultimate Truth! Where are you?!
A lot of people take a leap of faith to escape this despair.
On the other hand, I’m not sure what I’m doing or what I plan to do in that regard.

A Post About Some Irony

Yesterday, I found myself watching part of Miss Korea 2006. (No, I don’t understand Korean and, no, I don’t partake in this activity regularly.) Nevertheless, I was listening to the speeches when one of the contestants said:
If there’s a will, there’s a way.
However, because she couldn’t speak English very well, her “a will” sounded like [...]

A Post About A Misconception Of Evolutionary Theory

I hate when people misconstrue the concept of evolution and come up with the most idiotic assertions.
For instance, I’ve heard a number of people state that they don’t believe “humans came from monkeys”, and that if that was indeed the case, then why are there monkeys still around.
Please, think before you speak.  It will help [...]

A Post About My Planned Response To A Particular Hypothetical Apocalyptic Scenario

(FYI: this is a half-assed post, because I don’t feel like trying. So, calm down, settle down, take it easy.)
20/20’s special “Last Days On Earth” substantiated my intent to be at the precise impact point of any apocalyptic asteroid headed towards Earth.
It’s all about “quick and painless”, my friend.

A Post About Personality and Persona

There’s nothing wrong with being kind…
…unless you’re a punching bag.
