So, what the hell has gone down in Chicago, that legendary and now infamous City in America's north-eastern region? Did these 4 young African-American men and women really kidnapped, abused and tortured their young white American compatriot? If so, why? What is it that could possibly have led two black young men and two black young women to perpetrate such heinous abuses and violence on another human being? Not unnaturally, when something as apparently incomprehensible to reasonable humans, such as us who abhor it, we do tend to look into the field of sociology and abnormal psychology for an answer. Looking at the faces of these young people, I might be mistaken for thinking that they demonstrate a certain amount of nihilism. Now, if it is the case that there is something nihilistic about all or some of these young people, what would that mean? Well, firstly, we need to consider the definition of hihilism. One definition of 'nihilism' is ' rejecting al

This is a short video of a hungry flock of pigeons, which, as you can see, is executing their feeding objective with military-like efficiency. Please take a look and see if you can find any moments of pleasure to enjoy!

So, how long would you like to live for, is a question which many of us have posed to us or which we pose to ourselves. And the answer, I suspect, when considered carefully, might be something life, 'it depends', which is expected to be followed up with, 'it depends on what'? Usually, it depends on such things as 'if I am in good healthy and fit.' The person being asked might also add, 'and I am happy.'  Good healthy, fitness and happiness are states which us humans place a lot of importance on.  What makes us happy can either be the same or different things. In other words, it can be more subjective than objective. Good health and fitness are states of being which are more objective and measurable. At their basic level, they can denote the absence of serious illness and reasonably good mobility and motility; soundness of body, if you like. And so it was that, at the beginning of this month of January 2017, this probably legendary woman,

Could it be that, what made Azaria into "a hero" for his family and supporters, is probably the commonly held belief that the homi-suicidal Palestinians who went around attacking and sometimes killing Israelis, in their desperate and futile token political gestures, all deserved to die? Undoubtedly, this is likely to be part of the rationalisation for those who would 'heroise' Sgt. Elor Azaria.  But, how can executing a prone and badly injured 'enemy combatant', away from the heat of the battlefield makes one into 'a hero'? It cannot; unless one wishes to pervert both the facts of the situation and the definition of the meaning of the term, 'hero.' Sgt. Elor Azaria has, it seems to me, presented the State of Israel with her version of the 'America's racist cop moment.' Israel had to decide whether Sgt. Elor Azaria had broken Israel's military and civil laws, and then, if so, what punishment, if any, should be meted out

One of the biggest problem which contemporary societies are having to confront, is that of the predominantly men, who have been tasked with vital job or service of upholding the laws of their countries, behaving in unlawful ways and abusing and negating the very law which they should be upholding. We have seen this being done on a significant scale in the United States, to the extent where it has provoked millions of people into demonstrating against police and state violence, and has also led to rioting. We have seen it over the years taking place in Britain, although not resulting in anything like the many cold-blooded execution of young black Americans by the police.  The modus operandi of many within some of the police forces in the United States seem to be that of, 'we have guns and we are not afraid to use them as a first resort.'  Many American police officers, it seems, while resorting the professed fear of harm to themselves, as a justification to shoot and t

This is a rather lively video of Squirrels and birds doing their morning exercises and enjoying it; as should we humans be doing. Please take a look and, if you are so moved, enjoy!

If what we physically consume can have both healthy and unhealthy effects on our bodies and our health, then, what about our thoughts? Do they also impact on how we feel and the kind of person we become and are? If we develop the tendency to think hatefully and spitefully, do our brains develop 'hate and spite channels' which tend to kick in automatically when we are confronted with challenging situations? Or might even actively and proactively search our environments for people to hate and behave spitefully towards? Do our thoughts 'shape' us, or do 'we', our ergo sum' shape our thoughts? Or is is a matter of the interaction between 'us' our id, and the thoughts which arise from the interplay between our inner and outer environments? If our thoughts have the ability to make us what we are, then what are the implication of this for us changing to be better or worse persons? If it be the case, that, how we think, therefore  are or are we,

So, is President Elect Donald Trump going to attempt to rule America and the global economy with fear and threats? With Ford Motors now having buckled to the fear and threat of not doing what PEDT wants it to do, and cancelling its planned investment in Mexico, many other companies in the United States will have to consider the implications of not doing what the incoming President wants them to do. I said President, but I could easily have said the Dictator, because, I fear that that is actually what Donald Trump will represents upon taking office. Ford Motors, I suspect, has not made the volte face decision based on sound economic and financial reasons, but is doing so because it fears the consequences of going against Donald Trump. It is making this decision based on political reasons. With the incoming Dictator already announcing his intention to inflict a massive 30 per cent import duty on some goods being imported into the United States, Fords Motor might well have

As sentient and, for most of us probably most of the times, compassionate humans, it is not surprising that we should express our compassion and concern for other less fortunate humans in great numbers. We do not like to see people being harmed, being oppressed or exploited, so, when we see this happening, we tend to make much ado of it. We demand that our government does something about it. Take some action to end it, and to do so immediately or as quickly as possible. We have seen this over the ages, probably especially since the 1960s, whether it be the Vietnam War, the Liberation wars in Southern Africa, the independence struggles in the former British and French colonies in Africa and the Middle East, or, more recently, the Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Israel/Palestine conflicts. Sane people do not take pleasure in people dying and being maimed, even when they are devils like the followers of Daesh/Isil.  And even in situations where we apparently contradict ours
