Some things are outside of the scope of morality and/or ethics. When we ask questions about what is moral or ethical, we limit those questions to certain areas or topics or considerations. We do not ask whether it is murder to put rocks in a rock crusher. We do not ponder the ethics or morality… Continue reading Moral and Ethical Consideration (1)

Soldering the wrong LEDs into the right fixture
I bought some LED bulbs and screwed up the size. Naturally, it’s impossible to find an adapter for the bulb here. (Yep – nowhere.) So, I have an E14 bulb and my fixture is E17 or “Intermediate”. I’m thinking, just, like, FFS… does everything need to be this hard? But then it’s just an opportunity… Continue reading Soldering the wrong LEDs into the right fixture
Editing and Charitable Reading
It seems that fewer and fewer people today are capable of actually reading, and even fewer are capable of a charitable read. The concept of a charitable read is important, but seems to have been lost. Today I read a simple article that you can find here. In it, I found this: “And sorry, we… Continue reading Editing and Charitable Reading
The Memory Hole is Very Real
If you’re not familiar with the memory hole, it’s when information starts disappearing. It’s happening again (it actually happens pretty often). See this post. If you follow up and check, you will see that the video is starting to disappear. This is in part why my original post here (now password protected) was verbose and complete… Continue reading The Memory Hole is Very Real
Poison in Alternative Media: The Real News and Reason TV
The alternative media delivers a far more accurate and better picture about what is going on in the world, but there are times when they have catastrophic failures and present the same talking points that you would expect from the bobble heads on MSNBC. No matter the source, one must always be vigilant to think… Continue reading Poison in Alternative Media: The Real News and Reason TV
Jesus Is an Anarchist (Mirrored essay)
There is an excellent essay called “Jesus Is an Anarchist” at http://www.anti-state.com/redford/redford4.html. But it seems like Anti-state.com is no longer maintained, and the essay may disappear at some point. I’m mirroring it here to ensure that it is available in at least 1 other place. When the “anti-state.com” graphic logo is gone, then you’ll know… Continue reading Jesus Is an Anarchist (Mirrored essay)
What Nobody Noticed About the Bundy Ranch Protests…
BLM is already there. Protesters show up. People get tased, assaulted, and arrested. More protesters show up. A lot more. Some have guns. Nobody gets tased, assaulted, or arrested. Nobody gets hurt. Something to think about.
Why Rich People Should Do Less Time in Prison Than Poor People
Rich people should do less prison time for the same crimes compared to poor people. Here’s why. In the modern world, you must pay taxes or you go to prison. If tax is not theft, then the government owns a percentage of the results/rewards/consequences of your labour/time. In other words, you are not solely responsible… Continue reading Why Rich People Should Do Less Time in Prison Than Poor People
Huntercoin: Welcome to the Blockchain!
Huntercoin is a crypto currency game that is played on the blockchain. This is significant, and particularly that “played on the blockchain” part. The blockchain is a public ledger of account that can be used for currency transfers, assets, smart contracts, smart property, snippets of code, escrow, distributed companies, distributed property, and yes – even… Continue reading Huntercoin: Welcome to the Blockchain!
Cartesian Product Password Combination Generator
I was motivated to fix this up password combination generator after reading yet another poor fellow on Reddit’s /r/bitcoin who had lost his wallet password. Don’t know if this will help him, but hopefully he’ll get his Bitcoins back. A while back I worked on a computing device artificial intelligence language corpus project for one… Continue reading Cartesian Product Password Combination Generator
