(0625) Morning all … looks awful outside, ha ha. Have a good one. (0724)

 

2. Which brings me to IYE at 0702 (a time, not a post)

He’s put up a piece in comments from escapekeysubstack which I’ll link to here but still take issue with, for obvious reasons, given my world view.

I did take philosophy 101 at university decades ago and am afraid I saw alternative existential explanations as bollox then and still do now … when there’s a far more simple explanation in the two books of the bible. As the author says in the article linked to above … very clever … yes, a quite ingenious explanation of why things are … just the type of thing an intellectual would put, after he’s a priori eliminated God before it even starts.

Why this maniacal need to eliminate God first and foremost? In human terms, it’s not unlike TDS among the Demonrats and RINOs. By which measure of openminded, empirical, sientifik spirit of enquiry is a priori elimination of a possibly key factor openminded? Seems quite closed to me.

Why do people of a certain mindset emphatically insist on no metaphysical influence whatever in human affairs? Look at that Swift creature for a start … what’s her shtick? Same as Bob Dylan, same as the Rolling Stones?

On the other hand

What if the explanation were not intended to be zero sum, not intended to be either/or? What if it were intended to be how God, should he exist, might go about developing humankind?

Ah … now that’s a different question altogether.

Dot dot dot.

It also illustrates yesterday’s political point about the “Based” (us) being far more diverse, more fragmented unherdable cats than are the Woke mesmerised. We argue, get angry, say hurty things, fall out, far more than the zombified sinister left, n’est-ce-pas?

And each of us will disagree with some aspect another brings, though being onside with the overall thrust. Strange bedfellows and allies indeed but somehow … more real imho. END.

1. Weird scenes inside the goldmine

Awoke before dawn, did not put my boots on, nor take a face from the ancient gallery … some of you of a certain age and musical inclination (probably not including DAD nor Steve) will have noticed the song references in that and in the sub-heading.

What I did do was apple log to DAD at 965 … but at least his piece went through. I wrote, over there:

JH at 0615: Humblest apologies to you, DAD … best laid plans etc. … my cunning plan was to wake up around 0430, put up 966, observe how it worked with your drop. As it turned out, I slept through … no rhyme nor reason to my sleep pattern. Ho hum, at least it did go up on its own … how strange of it … but delighted too.

Reference to the DAD drop, not to anything naughty. However, in moving with authority, daring the tardy tide, a la Canute, to do its worst, I saw someone was caught up in “pending” … I wrote, at 965:

JH at 0622: Just finished apologising to DAD for no 966 and noticed that there was one in pending. Whaaa? It was not DAD but Steve. Now I’m going to have to study why it was in pending. These things are sent to try us.

There ya go … how had the estimable Steve transgressed with the WP algorithm or bot or whatever? Am studying that now … after 966 goes up. Perhaps NOWP has a cold, caught the lurgy.

My mind though, in these strange days, wandered back now (0644) to yesterday and a conversation with MMutR about all this going on with the site(s) just now. He analysed and then said something unusual for him: “Of course, there might be another explanation.”

I asked: “Interference?” He did not reply.

My afterthought was … what unusual things have happened to me in the past few days … although IYE has also had issues going back, plus Andy. Anyway, shall continue to study it.

(0652) Glanced through … any number of trigger words in Evets One this time round, plus some interesting email things … hmmmm, wonder if Evets might euphemistically look at that too. Why did Ev 2 to 5 go through? Why did I fall asleep the entire night?

Why are my central heating panels rattling on the wall just now?
