Dutch-Reformed Homosexuality

January 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments

A good friend of mine shared some of his ponderings with me last year, giving me permission to share his thoughts here. At the moment, one of the big internal struggles in the Dutch-Reformed church, like too many churches around the world, is wrestling with their policies on how to “balance” homosexuality, discrimination, and compassion.

The Future: Solar Energy

January 13th, 2008 · 9 Comments

What’s with humanity and its fixation on short-term planning? USA has huge fights about abstinence-only sex-ed, academics a fundamentalistic approach to “do not use Wikipedia”, some people distrust Google and their “do no evil” policy, there are huge arguments about what is fiction and what is fact, conservative Christians fight stem-cell research because they are [...]

The Supernatural Exists…

January 13th, 2008 · No Comments

During my 16 December visit to Shofar, I learned another interesting thing about their language and definitions that tends to confuse the scientists. What I learned was, the supernatural really does exist! Now the typical scientists say “stupid people, it does not exist”, but they are not using the same definitions. What I learned was [...]

The Empath

January 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, we were barely teenagers. Our father, who is in heaven, provided us with a wormhole into another world. The wormhole came with the label “CompuServe”. This was before The Internet became the obvious choice, and besides, it provided a safe environment for the innocence of [...]

The Too Much Thinking Meme Complex

January 11th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Here follows a meme complex, as well as the first (but not the only) license agreement for the use of The Red P. Hold onto your horses, this isn’t supposed to be easy. This meme complex is intelligently designed (given a suitable definition of “intelligent”), and is meant to evolve. The first version is far [...]

The Problem With Empiricism

January 7th, 2008 · 20 Comments

We need a language with which to talk. For the purpose of this post, I choose The Matrix, because most of us have seen it, and it hopefully left a valuable impression on us. In effect, for the purpose of this discussion, I’m choosing The Matrix as our “Bible”, our corpus, defining the language for [...]

Hugo Abuses Language

January 7th, 2008 · 25 Comments

You likely know by now I’m supposedly a “bad communicator”, because I keep on using words in ways that you, the reader, are not used to. (Or as you might say, “incorrectly”. Whatever.) For example, especially when dealing with atheistic material, I love using Biblical language. This is likely to make you hopping mad. Cool! [...]

Lousirr Unwound

January 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

So what’s this blog recently been up to? An attempt at trying to communicate elements of lousirr’s philosophy to people that are skeptical of it. That is the best way to work out some of the finer details and kinks. The only problem? Electronic communication is way too frustrating. And frustration just aggravates the matter. [...]
