  • In the deceptively simple, yet seemingly complex social conundrum, you’re practically insulting two or several of their generations.

    You see, their daddy and granddaddy before them didn’t need no paternity leave and their kids (as in themselves) turned out to be just fine! Now here you are coddling and spoiling your children rotten, proving everything wrong with the newer generations!

    How can a man provide food on the table, a roof over their heads and clothes on their backs by sitting at home and playing with their kids? Unthinkable! Unconscionable! Un-American!

    Or so a theory goes…








  • I don’t know how to tell you why you’re a bit wrong and i hope someone else will.

    I will try though.

    The brain is like a network that involves the central nervous system. It isn’t just one big thing at the top of your head, but a series of small things connected together from the top of your head down to the end of your spine. And the constraints on their abilities depend heavily on their environment.

    Higher processing power consumes more energy and requires better cooling. And the human body can only provide a limited amount of both.

    It’s a matter of matter itself. Our bones, blood vessels, muscles, everything are what they are due to the planet we live on. We can’t do better (for now) due to chemistry.

    So it’s really not that the brain can’t, but that the basic laws of our local universe don’t allow it to. By itself however, I’d say it almost definitely can or it will at least grow to try.









  • Perhaps I could’ve worded it better. It’s not about Duterte in particular, but more about attacking only when those cannot defend themselves. The very action of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

    It’s about us humans as a civilization adopting and accepting that only by trampling others when they’re down can we espouse a higher morality.

    We shy away from direct confrontation and we shy away from stopping it when it’s happening. Even the so-called prevention is focused on demeaning and controlling the nameless, hapless citizen.

    Duterte, Putin, Netanyahu and all the others could have been stopped and should have been stopped earlier. Yet they weren’t and most still aren’t.

    And we call all of this as justice. It’s embarrassing.



  • I’m unaware of anything in this case other than it’s ugly in every way.

    Dude is awful, but why’d the ICC wait this long? Oh, you say he was given away on a silver platter!? Seems ICC didn’t even do anything but receive him into custody…

    Is my starting comment wrong? Guess it doesn’t even matter at this point. The less people have of something, the more they’re desperate to defend it. And justice is just too sparse these days…

    Anyway, he deserves it. But I don’t like how it’s getting done. Personal preference probably…
