Random thoughts on “state of nature” arguments for the state

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

We can find some pretty awful things in untechnological “primitive” societies.  (I remember vividly as a Christian youth being shown a Moody documentary showing that in many places in the world, the so-called “primitives” were actually the descendants of great advanced civilizations.  But let that go for now.)  But what you don’t find is a [...]

Being thankful you were a fool

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I had a short story idea this morning. Though it gripped me more than just that.
I’m thinking some magicians/scientists experiment with a guy and throw him back in time to the early nineties. So he suddenly gets to deal with all the things he did wrong in his life. The main thing [...]

Reading Joel

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I had seen these but not had the time to read them until Cynthia Nielson directed me back. But please read his rational animality post as a great entry alluding at issues I was trying to address in this post thinking about the “brain body” model of educational films and stuff in Theology [...]

Quick note

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Jandy totally scooped WebbAlert on the photo-alteration. By six days! (and showed some actual ethical concern as well)  If you want breaking news, subscribe to her feed.
And by the way, if you decide to subscribe to the podcast of WebbAlert, be careful with the pause feature.  Apparantly, Webb is so expressive that her eyes momentarily [...]

What was I whining about again?

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Remember Calvin’s classmate who is fighting cancer?  Well, yesterday their house burned down.  Unbelievable.  I wonder if it happened right while I was blogging about how tough life is for us.  Right now, not twelve hours later, my life looks like a cakewalk!
(I don’t even know what a cakewalk is, but that’s what things seem [...]

Found guilty of being American in Nicaragua while a crime was taking place somewhere in Nicaragua

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Please go watch this video.
I recorded this in my links this morning (which will appear later tonight as a blog post), but I think this needs more attention.
Mob hysteria is a rush, probably as pleasurable as sex to most people. The job of the court system is to check it. But all [...]

HE EVEN USED THE WORD “MISCREAN”!

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

For those sadly stuck in my own intellectual and theological social cul-de-sac, read this post and ask if it does not seem extremely familiar. If I say any more I’ll have to move this post to my unlinked blog.

A thought while listening to Patti Smith for the first time

Friday, March 9th, 2007
