Random Notes - Idle Thoughts
Random Note —The Left
They actually believe they can defy the gravity of reality, logic, reason and observable truth in the same way of the Einstein observation that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result”. That is why socialism and communism are revisted over again by the left despite history being littered with the debris and death from the previous failed socialism experiments.
Random Note — Political Violence — War Is Politics By Other Means
Political violence is the end result of intellectual bankruptcy and the inability to mount, frame and articulate an argument to support your thesis. Left or right, violence is all they have left when they’ve exhausted their shallow stash of even more shallow...

Random Observation – The Speed of Life
Time feels faster as you grow older because your brain tends to record fewer new experiences. Novelty slows time, routines speed it up.

Random Note — Charlie Kirk Murder
Trump and the FCC need to start pulling broadcasts licenses and charging media talking heads and political pundits and some politicians with inciting violence and stochastic terrorism. The media are trying to provoke the very dictatorial crackdown they accused Trump...

Reading about yesterday’s shark attack at Dee Why Beach and I’m thinking about how councils will dictate all manner of rules and regulations, guidelines and guardrails. Fencing and resus signage around a pool makes perfect sense. Even a verandah above 90 centimetres...

A Random Reboot — Climate (from a number of years ago)
