“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Reader RT asked some very interesting follow-up questions on my Telegram channel to my latest Didactic Mind podcast, related to the issues of what money is, what it does, and why inflation is so evil. The follow-up questions have to do with how money came to be, what...
Here we go with another Monday. This one, though, is rather unusual, as it is Halloween today – which means, of course, the inevitable parade of children trooping outside of your house, dressed up as superheroes and cartoon characters, begging for candy. Good...
The Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a long discussion about the rather disastrous state of modern economics. Specifically, I start by defining what money IS, and how different forms of money have evolved over time. I point out that money is absolutely...

That photo up top really does summarise exactly what most of us look like when we are jolted out of a sound sleep involving a bathtub, two Russian Friday T&A girls, jello, an F-16, and LOTS of bubbles – oh, is that just me, then? – by the alarm clock,...
14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God[b] not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,[c] a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word...
This week has certainly been eventful in the world of geopolitics. Prime Minister Chucky is out, as I pointed out yesterday, after a brief, disastrous, and totally ignominious reign that saw the fastest collapse ever observed in a British government. The result is a...
