Photograph of the Atlas globe Cynicism | Tuesday – April 28, 2026 C ynics and cynicism all over the place! Indeed, the world is full of it and it seems quite strange, at least from a material point of view, read " The Efficacy of Ideas ". I mean, there are so many fat and addicted people all over the place, how come they are so cynical? Did people used to be this cynical in the past? First of all, yes it should be taken as an overall sign of our times that people are cynical, and of course cynicism and sentimentalism go hand in hand... But the entire assumption that only "bad" guys can win, read " Directing Films ", is very salient today. Brutality, realism, or perhaps brutalism? Why not, why not another one of those isms? Well, there are of course plenty of those around so I should think that there is no problem for me to add another one. Movies are so full of themselves, and so full of this kind of lazy and truly evil and very much offensive and dista...

Narayana ( नारायण ) resting on Adhishesha ( आदिशेष ), with his consort Lakshmi ( लक्ष्मी ) massaging his feet Rest | Monday – April 27, 2026 T he Pacific Sleeper Shark has a very, to me , delightful name.

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush My Views on Extreme Weather Events | Sunday – April 26, 2026 E xtreme weather events (EWEs) are seemingly more common these days, and I thought that this subject should belong to this series, " Personal Notes series ", because actually this is quite a personal topic for me. Before I go on I should inform you that you may read more about this and similar topics here .     Yes, it does seem that extreme weather is more common today, at least according to the data, but what are even EWEs? Well, EWEs, I refuse to use the entire term everywhere, are basically weather that people are unused to, such as floods, hailstorms, strong winds such as hurricanes and typhoons, etc; although I should add that just because people may be unfamiliar with some weather, this alone does not make it extreme, at least not according to intuition, but yes, there are measurable and quantitative indications that the way certain weathers occur more frequ...
