Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

From the video: “There is nothing more dangerous than a weak man”. And the corollary to that is: “There is nothing more dangerous than a crazy woman.” We now have a collaboration of the two. It will be fatal. === Jordan Peterson and Camille Paglia also make the point about men keeping civilization (the electricity,…

The purpose of the Legislature is to make criminals. When that exceeds rationality they run short of funds. We have more laws than we have money to enforce. What a surprise.

Angel Albert used to frequent my living room in Bezerkely back in the late 60s. He was waiting for G.G. Witch to get home. She lived a few blocks away. ( About 7 minutes )

( About 11 minutes ) 300 million years of evolution will not be erased by a social campaign. You want to fix things? You must pay the one thing that most people are very unwilling to pay. Attention. ( About 18 minutes )

Perhaps my logic isn’t as good as it should be, but I’m having a bit of trouble understanding something, so I decided to share it here in the hope of summoning the collective mental processing power of the commenters. In a local Ann Arbor park which is frequented by dog owners, someone — most likely…

With the train derailment pushed to the back burner, much is being made on Fox News of “the secret backstory” of how Obama helped Hezbollah. Naturally, the DEA drug warriors are being spun as patriotic heroes: The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had…

Too easy.  Any blacksmith, welder, or tinkerer could easily make one of these: Terrorists are being taught how to do it. This is not to say that this is what happened in Washington earlier today, but I see no easy way to prevent it from happening.

Enjoying my death? Not quite yet. Although, the thought had crossed my mind in the context of Roy Moore… I have to say that no one else could have gotten me off my ass to write an actual blog post — much less three… So perhaps I should thank the son of a bitch. As an…

If Roy Moore wins tonight (which I think he will), Trump loses. And, if Roy Moore loses, Trump also loses. That’s the price of deliberately shackling himself to such a nutcase. UPDATE: Wow. Much as I hate to say it, I think congratulations — of a perverse sort, obviously — are in order for Roy…

It is a tad macabre. But perhaps it is the material he had to work with.

From Reason: I might find this funny if I didn’t think the man will be elected on Tuesday. UPDATE: While few people know it, there is a libertarian alternative to Moore and Jones: Republicans are frantically looking for a write-in candidate. They don’t need to bother. Libertarian Ron Bishop is already a write-in candidate, excluded…

If you try to be a good little citizen and comply with what the Law requires, you could find yourself royally screwed (pun intended unintentionally): Honolulu residents who legally complied with requirements that they enter themselves in both registries have received threatening letters signed by officials including Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard. These letters read, in…

Roy Moore is going to win the election, not in spite of alleged sex scandals, but because of them. …the Democrats’ own sexual scandals have helped Moore. It’s not obvious they would. If the Democrats had condemned their own members promptly and forthrightly, when the evidence against them was compelling, then the party could stand…

With nanoseconds and nanovolts and picoamps. And funny enough I’m doing chemistry. Potentiostat chemistry. In that regard the design shown here is excellent. You can have a quick look at the schematic at this link.

That’s what Roy Moore thinks about consensual homosexual conduct. Normally, the nutcase views of such a ridiculous person would not matter. The problem is that this loon is running for the United States Senate, and he might very well be elected. I hardly ever blog anymore, but not long ago I raised myself out of…

Donna Brazile Says She “Feared For Her Life” After Seth Rich Was Killed.

( About 20 minutes ) A LOT of speculation and a few facts. One of the facts is that Bush was in Dallas on 22 Nov. 1963. So at least one fact in this video is confirmed. BTW Stone was 11 on 22 Nov. 1963. How could he get that wrong? Here is the photo…

There is none.
