Maybe The Oumuamua Asteroid Is Really A Comet

In *Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus*, Ludwig Wittgenstein offers a glimpse of his solipsism in propositions 5.6 to 5.63. In proposition 5.62, he says: This remark provides a key to the question, to what extent solipsism is a truth. In fact what solipsism *means*, is quite correct, only it cannot be said, but it shows itself. That the world is *my* world, shows itself in the fact that th... more »

Off To The Tower of London With You Acosta!
STREIFF - If there is a single media personality that epitomizes the overweening arrogance, sub-caliber IQ, and lack of self-awareness that is the comic archetype of a television celebrity reporter it is CNN’s Jim Acosta. Ever since CNN decided to position itself as the official mouthpiece of the anti-Trump Resistance, Acosta has been its point man every day in the White House. Just a couple of weeks ago, Acosta tried to get President Trump’s attention…or more accurately, he tried to get attention for himself…by screaming a question from the back of a press conference. Acosta is a... more »

"Cry, Heart, But Never Break: A Remarkable Illustrated Meditation on Loss and Life"
*"Cry, Heart, But Never Break: * *A Remarkable Illustrated Meditation on Loss and Life"* by Maria Popova “Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead,” John Updike wrote, “so why … be afraid of death, when death comes all the time?” Half a millennium earlier, Montaigne posed the same question somewhat differently in his magnificent meditation on death and the art of living: “To lament that we shall not be alive a hundred years hence, is the same folly as to be sorry we were not alive a hundred years ago.” Yet mortality continues to petrify us - our o... more »

Trump Should Fire Rosenstein Immediately
[image: undefined] Does Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers for allegedly hacking Hillary’s emails and interfering in the US election have any purpose other than to throw a monkey wrench in President Trump’s upcoming summit with Putin?

Conscious Connection – Bridging Species Through Love
A reminder here regarding a remarkable testament in which a man established mind to mind rapport with the elephant matriarch. We read the book a couple of years ago and it was excellent and shows us our real future and the real future of elephants as one of our partners in this world. The life span of an elephant and this work strongly suggests that elephant spirits can easily transfer to the human form as well. Our progress is close enough. What i have come to understand is that love is properly learned and is separate from instinctual attraction. Somehow two individuals mus... more »
Detox with Activated Charcoal
Without question, activated charcoal is a first choice for extracting toxins out of your intestinal system. An additional choice is one of several zeolites, but availability is difficult and they are just as difficult to consume. They are all solid crystalline acids which means that they are real acids that do not dissolve in water. While no one in their right mind would drink down sulfuric acid, it is safe to drink down the equivalent in non soluble crystalline form. What you have done though is pass a powerful free ion attractor through your gut. That is why Bio char will ... more »

The gay community has spent a lifetime attempting to establish a way forward into the mainstream, only to be literally be exploited by the absurdities of progressive politics and hate mongering.

There is much wrong with the liberal and progressive narrative, not least its incredible promotion of every imaginable sexual perversion.

*“Credo”* by Erich Fromm “I believe that man is the product of natural evolution; that he is part of nature and yet transcends it, being endowed with reason and self-awareness. I believe that man’s essence is ascertainable. However, this essence is not a substance which characterizes man at all times through history. The essence of man consists in the above-mentioned contradiction inherent in his existence, and this contradiction forces him to react in order to find a solution. Man cannot remain neutral and passive toward this existential dichotomy. By the very fact of his being hu... more »

*Next Big Future*:* US Navy cost increases are worse than the US healthcare system* In 2006, the RAND corporation found that from 1965-2005 the US Navy had 7-11% annual inflation for its ships which is worse than the inflation for US college tuition and US healthcare. This was before the Zumwalt destroyers (aka DDX) came in at $7.5 billion each compared to the previous destroyer at $1-2 billion each. Only 3 Zumwalts will be built and they have loads of technical and operational problems. Those were the high function and high cost end of the high-low mix of ships planned in 2006. ... more »
