I was just reading that there is more iridium in asteroids in general than in the earth’s crust. because of this when we find s large amount as we do in the K-Pg boundary we know it has been formed from a meteor strike. The most famous being 66 million years ago. But here is…

How We think
I recall when Putin was massing troops on the Ukraine border how many people said he wasn’t stupid enough to invade. When I was asked I said I had no idea what he would do i wasn’t in the mind of Putin. In the same manner when Trump was first elected people said the chains…
I am split
Throughout thousands of years we as a species have argued to limit outright warfare. We have attempted to limit the devastation brought to bear on people not involved in the conflict and these arguments and discussions are vital to the future of the species. I have no argument against them per se. But with Israel…
Ukraine
There is no doubt now, if we didn’t know before, that Putin and his lackeys miss the old Soviet hegemony or as we like to call it, dictatorships, that gave them buffer zones of entire other countries against Germany invading again. They also entered an arms’ race with NATO selling an invasion by NATO to…
The Way We Build

Americans seem to favour New…
Back to Dogs

The Race to Disaster
The conversation on set today surrounded the problems we face with rampant capitalism. With the brainwashing that the monetary system is somehow unlike every other system, written in stone. That people have expectations of where they should financially be at each decade of their lives and those expectations are written by those taking their money…
Just Wait
With power comes responsibility and Trump and his followers have none but to themselves. But selfishness only goes one way and Trump will look after those he knows and his family, he will sell out everyone else. That is his way and always has been. He is going to gloat over the entire world and…
The Quality of Mercy
There is a cadence in war where each side wants absolute victory. In the past this had led to such things as the utter destruction of Hittite cities and the seeding of the land in and around Carthage with salt to the complete victory doctrine of World War 2 against the Nazis. Against this war…
