My thoughts and insights on the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.
There are a few law’s of nature, commonly attributed to Sir Sidney Fudd and his scientific partners in crime. The first law is called Fudd’s first law of opposition “If you push something hard enough, it’ll fall over.” See also Teslacle’s Deviant to Fudd’s Law: “Half of what goes in here must come out there.” […]

My family owned various dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs over the years. There were two cats, Cinnamon and Blackie, Christie the short haired pointer, and Scamp the mutt. The most memorable of animals to me was a neighborhood mongrel dog named Spike. Spike was a largish, black and brown, thick furred dog of questionable breeding.

Why are we all so focused on getting the hell out of here? Somehow we always believe that the grass is greener somewhere other than where we currently are.

Thinking back on my half century or so of life, I have noticed a general theme with regard to presidencies. They have little or no impact on my day to day life. If I were to have no knowledge of who was president and no knowledge of world events, I would have no clue that

Why is man born to suffer and die? This question has been asked by every philosopher, preacher, pauper, player, pilgrim, and partner since the dawn of man’s ability to think such thoughts. Well, lemetellya, last night as I was sleeping off a couple of shots of bourbon that I had recently consumed, the possibility of

After some serious cogitation, I have concluded that people of this world can’t possibly be as stupid as they are portrayed by the sources of information that are laid before me. The things I see on TV, read in the news, and see posted on the various social media platforms that I peruse therefore must

I’ve always been a person that looks for a reason for the behaviors of myself and others. Why do we do what we do on a daily basis? What’s the motivation? What’s the potential outcome? It’s probably the same process that any author or playwright goes through when they are laying out their lame ass
