Don had a thing for Slovenians.

Or perhaps they had a thing for his money.

Nice little country Slovenia.

The Julian Alps are a great place to hike.

Celtism is something of a myth.

The people in question are thought to have been of Central European origin. As were their Pigs.

Though ancient Central Europeans would share a common ancestry with every other homo-sapiens that migrated to the  four corners of the globe.

Not that a globe is big on corners.

And for sure, old British pagans did ritualistic stuff that they imagined would be of some metaphysical significance.

And for sure also, archaeologists dig  up stuff and speculate about what ancient pagans might have speculated about.

And people went to a lot of trouble to lug 25 ton stones from Pembrokeshire to Wiltshire.

Why?

We can only speculate.

And they brought their diner with them.

LOL.

So.

Theory is a tad futile.

Because human theorising can be wildly speculative.

Quantum entanglement springs to mind.

So how does one  ascertain everything within the context of human data acquisition and management systems.

An Alternative Intelligence perhaps.

Though alternative systems will be similarly restricted in terms of an indirect attachment to everything.

Perhaps alternative systems will be able to convert everything into mathematical sequences.

I often wonder,

If everything was broken down into it's finite state.

Would it disappear.

And perhaps reappear.

Not so much a BIG BOOM

But more of a WHERE THE FU*K DID THAT COME FROM.

There are already people who know how to successfully send rockets into space.

So why do people who can't, bother to try?

Ok, if it was a cheap hobby.

So much effort to travel 62 miles.

What we actually need is something new and less volatile.

So engage sincerely.

What is GOD that must be served?

Britain's are a mongrel race.

Pretty much a global phenomena

Though a lot of people choose to jump on and off the human timeline when and where it suits them.

So some like to think that they are special, because they also think that they do special things in special places.

Pretty much  common global misconceptions.

Me:

I'm primarily Earthling and then British, and inhabit a small demarcated area of the globe known as Wales or Cymru.

Functionally I'm just about the same as any other Earthling of the species Homo Sapiens.

And also physically similar in a lot of ways to not just other Mammalia but also all other organic living structures.

One Earth

One common ancestor.

Probably.

Labelled as such.

Though my suggestion was, that most non-labelled or differently labelled with a common nationality, would share similar basic ideas and values when confronted with an external threat of war.

How distant is the partner, and how does a researcher know where to find and observe it.

And how can the researcher view both particles simultaneously.

Presumably the universe contains billions of spinning  particles, so isn't it inevitable that there would be two or more  spinning similarly at the same time.

True dat.

As long as internal systems function.

With no perceivable external threat.

Everything is or not.

As it is impossible to validate incoming data

Nonetheless, everything is as it is.

And maybe also a simulation thereof,

Which in itself is everything.

Intelligence is as intelligence does.

Whereas logical common sense is as logical common sense does.

No one is actually a communist.

People are essentially the same

Communism is labelled output that evolves from a comparative assessment of social ideas and values.

Just because I enjoy milky puddings, it doesn't mean that I am a raspberry blancmange.

Nah.

Accepting a naturalistic explanation relies upon faith.

That was my point.

Though I would suggest that a factional religion, usually stems from what went before.

The resurrection bit is just the supernatural designed to enthral the gullible. 

And then 500 years or so later along came Muhammad with his spin on the stem.

Thing is.

If you're mind savvy, you can outwardly obey, whilst inwardly ignoring.

Nonetheless.

Pay attention and you might learn something useful.

War is a unifying influence, albeit temporarily.

People coming together to defend against a common enemy.

How each side might be labelled is largely irrelevant once the bombs and bullets start to fly.

Love is an over-used word we use to describe various internal electro-chemical responses to external stimuli.

So do you love your cat, your ice cream,  your GOD, yourself or whatever? 

For sure, the Great Serpent is the original metaphor.

This is a self explanatory statement.

Therefore Faith is the only option.

And naturalism is neither here nor there

You're kind of stating the obvious.

But not proving anything more than the obvious.

"Greater good" is a phrase, that is not necessarily directly related to the general notions of good and bad.

Basic language stuff.

And not mine.

We discriminate against everyone.

And we have a tendency to be jealous and envious of those who are more successful.

And then we assume that because some Jews are successful, then all Jews are to be reviled.

Last time we were swept along in a similar wave of anti-Jewish sentiment up to 6 million people were murdered.

Success breeds envy and contempt.

And discrimination based upon perceivable difference is a default survival strategy.

Good for the economy then.

Plus:

By natural selection it takes a lot of people to arrive at one genius.

There are a lot of downsides though.

Like mass stupidity.

I was suggesting that the difference between my statement and your statement was a semantics issue.

Greater good and good have different meanings.

The greater universal good might not be good for humanity, so in that sense the greater good would be both good and bad. 

Given that as far as we currently know, there is now other intelligence that considers such issues.

One differentiates, between a greater good in terms of a positive outcome, and good and bad in terms of human behaviour.

The most foolish.

Probably not Pakistan or India, given their proximity.

Nor North Korea. Currently mostly bluster.

Russia maybe. Currently going through a difficult patch due to it's Ukrainian debacle.

Tales from G.B. for Ebuc.

Yep, 33 years ago.

My measure of Welsh temperature is based upon how many times I've been out for a bike ride and felt really comfortable in just shorts and short sleeved T-shirt.

And this year it has been just two times.

Ok, so if I went everyday that number would probably increase.

And I have been out in short sleeves on other occasions, but in conditions that I would only describe as tolerable.

This year in early summer we had a prolonged spell of dry sunny weather, though winds were persistently from the East and therefore cool.

Other than that, weather has been generally unsettled and cloudy, save for a couple of pleasant weeks in early September, when I was fortunate to be holidaying on the east coast. (Lincolnshire not Wales).

 

Late autumn and early winter have been noticeably mild, which is a GODSEND in terms of heating bills, but inevitably this means wet wet wet. Though mild certainly doesn't mean short sleeved cycling.

Really cold weather with snow usually occurs from late December through to March, though this year was predominately wet with a few dry frosty days and no memorable snow to speak of.

So to summarise this years weather, late winter into spring was wet, summer wasn't significantly hot, and late autumn into winter is mild and wet.

This seems to has been the trend over the past few years.

With regard to records.

I'm also not sure how comparable temperature recordings from specific protected locations are with overall temperature.

I would suggest that the former is likely to be higher than the latter.

Not sure what you mean.

Though genii is the plural form of genius.

Which I'm sure you already know.

I often wonder that too.

Must be something to do with all the ovine interbreeding.

Fortunately I'm British.

History is as history is recorded, and not necessarily honestly.

Not forgetting that human history goes back 300000 years or so, and not just 85 or 3085.

Perhaps we are related.

Descended from a long line of genii.

As far as the individual is concerned.

Ones ass/arse is reasonably objective.

Though moral considerations pertaining to ones ass/arse, are however, subjective.

WELL.

God is actually very very tiny.

The size of a particle.

I read this in a very very very tiny book.

And God cannot lifteth shit.

So he called in some electricians to install the lighting

And a bloke with a big machine to do the rocks and stuff.

And an ornithologist to deal with all the ground nesting seabirds.

He also invented quantum physics and can simultaneously exist everywhere.

Clever guy, but no good with big rocks.

Wales is below average as usual.

Obviously.

Stuff happens boys.

Is it a part of an intentional or inevitable process or not?

Fact is that you nor I know not.

All that I do know is that God (Christian), sin and evil are relatively recent thought constructs.

Ongoing evolution of the organic computer, upon this tiny speck of cosmic dust we refer to as Planet Earth.

And so we slowly enter a new era of non-organic intelligence.

And material development seems to be moving on OK, despite sin and evil and religious beliefs.

Though whether or not we will continue to move on towards a conclusion, remains to be seen.

Viewed like this, it would seem that most human organisms are surplus to requirements anyway, and their concepts of sin, evil and humanesque GODS are largely  superfluous and irrelevant.

So I doubt that a GOD (an overseer of the process) feels the need to intervene.

Though I tend to run more with the idea that GOD is the inevitable process.

Not necessarily sad.

But certainly a culture of inherited delusions.

As sad is not happy, and "Christians are probably happy sometimes.

And delusions in this instance are simply the transfer and repetition of misinformation.

Nice.

Well.

If there is a greater good to be achieved, then we can only assume that everything is a sequence of events that happens for a reason in accordance with a  predetermined plan.

Maybe there is a bit of flexibility built into the plan to facilitate the variability of the organic computer.

You know, religion and wars and gender fluidity and vaccinations and all that sort of weird shit.

I'm guessing that when Another Intelligence finally takes control, then the big event will progress more logically.

Effective use of sound.

Everything that occurs within a universe at any given moment is naturally occurring.

And for sure we live for a comparatively short period and then we die.

And I acknowledge that your interest concerns the establishment of social principles and social law. Whereas my views on contentious issues such as abortion have a tendency to be broader and more philosophical.

Yep.

I too am no longer shocked by what has become the new normal in terms of media entertainment.

Therein lies the application of words (generated imagery) and their definition which is inevitably variable.

So for sure, morality is hypothetical and associated (goals) objectives occur.

Though the occurring event is subject to the processes that I described above.

Wherein we rely upon a consensus as validation, which within the human network/s can become established an objective consideration.

Though human network/s, is/are undoubtedly networks of individuals rather than an individual network.

So inevitably there is neither consensus nor objective considerations that comply with a global standard.

Where?

I remember the author describing what a life was.

But not explaining what life was.

It's sounds like more bullshit.

Though if expertly diagnosed perhaps one might be entitled to compensation or special treatment.

Yep, just looked at the clip.

She's about as white and indigenous as any other white indigenous person, which doesn't explain why she was driving the wrong way in traffic.

One can only assume that she is suffering from generational stupidity because I have a ridiculous excuse trauma.

Yep, all very civilised.

And for sure, you don't survive as a "Freelance Journalist" in that sort of environment unless your mates with someone.

Whatever currently floats your boat.

Data in, data assessment, data out.

The whole process from start to finish is a simulated appraisal of an assumed reality, transferred and reassessed innumerable times.

Therein all data is super-subjective.
