Leaves sometimes get left unraked
Just a reminder, that life comes with that Full Guarantee. If you break in half – you usually get to keep both halves. Then most of us suck it up, and carry on – counting our blessings. I raise a toast, this Halloween – to everyone less fortunate than I. – Donnie
Examining artificial human intelligence
This is a futuristic, sci-fi type of hypothetical, that I’ve put forward on more than one occasion. But I’d be interested to hear what some of you might think about the possibilities.

A possible conundrum arises, between religion and evolution

The human condition, and the genius of Alexander Pope
(from September 24, 2010) Philosopher-poet, Alexander Pope was an 18th century critical genius, at dissecting the human condition. In a short series, I’ll be coming back to Mr. Pope, in parsing some very important – and oft quoted – works of particularly unique insight, that are still revered today. So, by way of introduction, for those who’ve never been touched by the depth…
