“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.”

The season finale of Lvov Boat

The season finale of Lvov Boat

I am assuredly WAY behind the times on this one, but all I can say is that I have been extremely busy for weeks now, so my appetite for tabloid trash has been rather in abeyance of late. However, for those of you who have been paying attention to such things, you may...

Didactic Mind, Ep 105: Modern Monetary Madness

Tour de force

Tour de force

Dr. James Tour’s name should be fairly familiar to regular readers of this site. I have mentioned him a number of times before, particularly with respect to his seminal presentation about the known problems with Origin-of-Life (OoL) research. Dr. Tour is a...

Didactic Mind, Ep 104: World War Now

The main Didactic Mind podcast is finally back with a new episode. In this one, I argue that we are already in a World War – whether you call it World War III or IV at this point, I don’t know or care, but the fact is that we ARE dealing with a global war...
