I listen with curiosity and concern to the arguments of those who complain about the pressure to get vaccinated and the unjust measures taken by governments to restrict the freedom of the unvaccinated. I also listen to all of those who refuse to get vaccinated for various metaphysical reasons, based on perceptions which originate inContinue reading “Vaccinations”

Coming in Contact with Science Fiction
I absolutely love Science Fiction. Some people call it the “fiction for escapists” and some readers may not agree with that or perhaps find it offensive but I am happy with this description. A large part of the appeal of Science Fiction to me is exactly the fact that it allows me to escape to other moreContinue reading “Coming in Contact with Science Fiction”
The Machine
I feel like most people, including myself, my friends and everyone I know, live like sheep in a herd guided by a Shepherd. We are all kept in the dark and we are fed misinformation and lies in order to keep us quiet and obedient. Our attention is directed, under the supervision of the Sheperd,Continue reading “The Machine”
Dune, the 2021 Movie

This is not supposed to be based on supernatural abilities but rather scientific principles regarding the humanContinue reading “Remote Viewing”
Greece on Fire
For the past eight days we have been watching several fires all over Greece burning an estimated 12% of the total forest area of the country. We have also been watching an incompetent government ignoring the cry of people for help, particularly those in small villages, who are desperately trying to protect their houses fromContinue reading “Greece on Fire”
Evolution in the Future
Is evolution still working on Earth? I do not see why not but it is important to remember that the process of evolution through natural selection is very slow and it takes thousands of years for the results to be clearly visible and on a large scale. It is a fact that the natural evolutionContinue reading “Evolution in the Future”
The Scientific Method as an Error Correction Algorithm
I can think of two main reasons for the emergence of religion and supernaturalism in primitive people, both based on mechanisms developed in the human brain by the process of evolution through natural selection: Looking for Agents: Suppose you are in a jungle and you notice some strange signs in the area you live, suchContinue reading “The Scientific Method as an Error Correction Algorithm”
God and Liberty
Here is a quote from a great thinker: This contradiction lies here: they wish God, and they wish humanity. They persist in connecting two terms which, once separated, can come together again only to destroy each other. They say in a single breath: “God and the liberty of man,” “God and the dignity, justice, equality,Continue reading “God and Liberty”
