A close-up of the Catalan Atlas Depicting Marco Polo The Age of Exploration | Friday – October 2, 2026 T o think that the world has gone from the vast and unending frontiers of Marco Polo and the age of exploration, empire and glory, to this homogeneous corporate landscape. Sad story indeed, but a true story indeed.      Yes, these are the facts of history that we must confront, facts that may upset us, and facts that may evoke strong emotion and sentimentalism . From the perspective of the old world, Marco Polo was a hero, but in our world, in modernity , Marco Polo is considered a villian and a monster, a monster because he discovered another part of the world, another part of the world from the point of view of Medieval Europe, read " The End of History ". Of course, this sentiment is nothing new, and is being felt when many historical persons are being considered, but it is important to understand that without Marco Polo the age of exploration would not have been poss...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Leaving Your Wife | Thursday – October 1, 2026 I n this installment , if you will, of this series , I have been asked by a person whether or not he should leave his wife and his family behind, in order to pursue a new life, and perhaps an alternative lifestyle. Yes, I take this letter at its word and I feel that the author of the letter really is struggling here, and I suppose as well that the letter concerns a rather sensitive topic within the Catholic community. Yes, should you be able to divorce your wife, if you are a catholic?

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Notes about Myself | Wednesday – September 30, 2026 I do not have a policy and I do not believe in having a policy. Eh well, I do have some policies regarding my conduct on this page, this blog really, but those policies are really soft law, soft rules , and sometimes I may not always follow them. Am I not a great hypocrite? I suppose that I am, but are we all not hypocrites at the end of the day?     Now, in previous posts I have attempted to make it clear that it is my purpose to not reveal too much information about myself, as this information will most likely serve to create confusion and a certain amount of awareness that will contribute to bias whenever someone should read my posts. Of course, it is also my intention to not engage in vapid individualism and vanity, for I do not believe that I am important in almost any way, at least not in regards to this blog and to my overall mission, read " Dreaming " and my " ...

Photograph of the Atlas globe The State of Radio | Tuesday – September 29, 2026 R adio is a topic that I have covered in the past, read more here , and I have been forced again to consider the rather sad state of radio, because today all the young people are obsessed with technology that is instant and relies on the destruction of history, the destruction of any reference point. To me, radio is the most important technology there is, because it enables man to communicate across a certain distance without the need for a third party, a middle man, and yes, you might say that when we tune the radio that we instead rely on the medium of propagation, and while this is true, let us consider the fact that the medium of propagation does not attempt to manipulate us, it does not attempt to sell us ads, and it does not require any kind of malign algorithm, for the medium of propagation depends entirely on circumstances still beyond the range of man's abilities. This is why radio should reall...
