The Oracle answers tough questions
Standing there and meeting people where they are. All in a day’s work. The Oracle can speak at length for which the questioner doesn’t want to stand. Or at brevity upon which the Questioner realizes they could’ve written it.
AI is trolling us
Are we prepared to tell it to go away? It’ll spread out the tarot cards, ask you to turn some over, read them for you. You picked the cards. It wants to blame you for the options it spread out.
The Legend of Canselation
Arise, Dame Canselda! Arise, Sir Canseld! Only they who are crucified can be resurrected. Only they who die can be born to eternal life. Only a canseled program can rake in a million dollars.
A hinge that opens the heavens
A small reflection on my daily reading. You’re at an apparent end due to a failure of wit. You can’t imagine what comes next. But you’ll recover wit, you’ll find horizon, and universe won’t end.

The Epstein Files show a rift between atheists & the consciousness movement
What I still want to know is: Why are Epstein’s close associates anti-trans? Dawkins is not open to the idea that trans people might make interesting or worthy arguments. He does, however, declare he’d listen to how people could merge with chimps.
Your gamete isn’t what wins a boxing match. That’d be your fist.
And other ideas I have after listening to Richard Dawkins tell Lawrence Krauss about his book chapter in ‘The War on Science’. If they’re accurately representing what trans people say, why don’t they invite a trans person on their show to say it? Why the intentional exclusion?
