A cute little comic that’s suddenly very relevant in light of the recent beheading that took place on the streets of Paris in broad daylight: For those who are interested in more details on the beheading, an archived version of a news report on it is here. Lastly, an example or two of the sort … More Tolerating the Intolerant
With another major election coming up, it’s good to have a small reminder on why the system is set up as it is, imperfect as it can be sometimes:
An anon poses an interesting theory, and a simple method to determine whether a person might be good or evil: The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, … More The Shopping Cart Theory
An anon comments on an interesting phenomenon whereupon people yearn for heroes of a bygone age, and how it might explain a lot of modern political behavior and even the recent riots in the US: I was reading a history of the USSR recently and there was a passage from a woman who had been … More The yearning for heroes

People are … More You can’t trust others to be your heroes
Perhaps the alliance with the humans was a mistake: On a more serious point, this can happen to us as individuals as well.

One must be always vigilant … More 10000 Years Later
An anon ruminates on the matter of vaccines, and how many people tend to view them as either all good or all bad on a wholesale level. Very relevant in light of the recent efforts on creating vaccination for the covid-19 virus: Currently there are two black and white opinions, either of which the majority … More Black and White Views on Vaccines
An anon with a rather bleak analysis on real life: It’s because you’ve been raised in a fantasy world.
