After all, we can see the other non-human animals, so it clearly is not the case that they do not exist. I and we can see them, therefore, they exist, in a real, tangible and objectified sense.  Whether or not they have any sense or state of consciousness, of being able to perceive of themselves as separate beings or members of the community of similar beings.  Although we can make all sorts of hypotheses about the metaphysical world, both real and imagined, but there is little doubt about the 'realness' of these animals.  Why, we can and do touch them, feel them, and even kill and eat them. So, how can there be any doubt about their realness? So, could it be that the 'core', the 'essence' of me, is that I and others can see 'me'?  That 'I' can see and perceive, become conscious of of 'me' being seen by 'myself' and by others?  Could this be my core; my essence? The fact that I and others can acquire

'Like death and bereavement, at times when we are experiencing what seems like 'our worse nightmares.'   We tend not to be aware of the fact that, 'our worse nightmares' are in fact no more than everyday adversities which many other people are having to contend with.' So, how was it, they pondered, that their son now seemed to have been over-identifying with the ethnic group to which his ‘persecutors’ belonged?  Of course, for those who understand something about the psychological context within ‘victims interact with their abuse perpetrators.  The phenomenon of the victim ‘identifying’ with the perpetrator, is not unusual.  In this case, Kazaliwa might not have been modelling himself so much on the ethnicity of those who had been abusing him.  But rather on the ‘strength’ and ‘power’, the ‘popularity’, he perceived them as having. Or their expression of what it meant to belong to that ethnic group. With there having been only a few

As, not only is it highly probable that the Saudi government has murdered JK.   But that it has dismembered his body and literally destroyed and/or disposed of it in such a manner that it cannot be present to his family and the world. Yes, it might really be the case that the life and death of Jamal Khoshoggi, as, indeed are the lives of any other person, or group.   Does not balance the economic scale, when it is weighed against the billions of dollars worth of arms and other products which the Americans are selling to the Saudi government.  Arms which, ironically, are fated to take the lives of thousands of Yemenis, maim thousands more, and make even more destitute.  But it is also about the principles which this crime has violated, and the precedent which it has set. This brutal act has set the precedent of a country, Saudi Arabia, apparently murdering one its citizen in its diplomatic mission in Turkey.  If it is true that such missions are meant to serve

'Like death and bereavement, at times when we are experiencing what seems like 'our worse nightmares.'   We tend not to be aware of the fact that, 'our worse nightmares' are in fact no more than everyday adversities which many other people are having to contend with.' Mfanyazaki quickly got into his car and make his way along the A34 going south, for about a mile, looking for their son along the way.  As he purposefully drove along the road, he saw his son in a heated and animated argument with several of his known acquaintences, some of whom were restraining him.  They were on the left hand side of the road, just a couple of metres before the pedestrian lights, and perpendicular to the road where one of his formerly very close friend, C, was living or used to live.  How close was the bond or former bond between Kazaliwa and C was, had been reflected in the fact that.   A couple of years earlier, when Kazaliwa’s relationsh

And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the absence of the body of the murdered Jamal Khoshoggi, and the attempts of the American government, or, rather, Donald Trump and his henchmen.   To obfuscate, bury and dissipate the horrible crime of the Saudi government, is testing both the intelligence and the compassion of reasonable people. We know that nothing the Saudi government says about this sordid and murderous crime, can or should be taken at face value, or relied upon.  How could it be otherwise, when the first response of the government, when it was asked, where is JK?  Was to lie and declare that it did not know where he is? How could the Saudi government be relied upon to tell the truth, when it is still refusing to say what it has done to JK and to present him to the world; dead or alive? When the President of the United States of America, and members of cabinet, are sailing uncomfortably close to risking entering into a conspiracy with the Saudis to cover up or

In the normal conduct of international and diplomatic affairs, a country's consulate or diplomatic mission is deemed to be a legitimate part of that country's government.  It is deemed to be acting on behalf of the relevant government, and, except in cases where there is conflict in the country, and the staff of a particular diplomatic mission, declare themselves to be no longer representing the government of the country. There is no suggestion, so far, that the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey, was not representing the wishes and interests of the current government or regime in Saudi Arabia.  It is inconceivable that any Saudi Arabian would, on their own initiative, commit such a crime in one of the country's diplomatic mission. Yes, we hear the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, postulating that it could have been a rogue element in the Saudi consulate in Turkey, who is responsible for killing Jamal Khoshoggi.  However, is this is s

It is the essence of the repression which the Saudi Monarchy is using to exterminate the voices and bodies of Saudis who are advocating for more personal, social and political freedom.  The repression of the courageous forces of enlightenment. As opposed to those of the greater repression, as represented by Al Queda.  Which, for some reason, seemed to have founded, at least in the past, and probably, privately, now, more favour with the Saudi government. But the fact is that Saudi Arabia is still a very rich, powerful, and influential country, especially in the Islamic world.  And Islam's most venerated founder, the Prophet Muhammad, was born there.  It is a fact of life that, since the shrine of the Kaaba is located in Saudi Arabia, it is the property of the Saudi government, which will, naturally, operate it as its sees fit. With visiting it by making the Hajj having been made a requirement of the faithful, probably not many Muslims would

So, there I was having a closer look at these bright berries, when I observed this lone wasp, also having a closer and, probably, more purposeful examination of the floral foliage. Please take a look and have a listen, just in case you might find some moments of pleasure in this short video.

To become as doubtful as us, the old, have become. No longer willing to have another debate on whether the world is round or flat.  Or about why it is that, if the world is round, then, why are people at the edges not falling off into space.  Even though, for the younger generations, these almost immutable dilemmas and paradoxes.   Which have been challenging the intellect of each curious person, as they gaze upon the perceived universe. Are new to them.  Having, due to their young ages, just impacted upon their senses, their vision and their intellect.  While us, who are old, no longer believe, trust that humans will really ever resolve the problems which confront us, and become significantly better.  Even though, we, the old, did have much hope and belief, when we were as young as the younger generations.   That, with sufficient passion, sufficient force of reasoning, with the right oratory, we could convince our fellow humans that we could all sculp
