This seems to be an entertaining site, might explore it more this weekend!

Hindoo pagans
Somewhat surprisingly, this Hindu content-creator agrees that Hinduism is "pagan". I actually asked ChatGPT what "Daitya Dhamma" means. It seems to be a jocular neologism roughly translated "the religion of the anti-gods / titans" (usually called asuras in both Hinduism and Buddhism).
Well, akshually, para-dimes are good, akshually
A little reminder. A propos the recent blog post on Sabine Hossenfelder and the role of mathematics in the hard (oh-so-hard) sciences.
Science in default
Ufologist Richard Dolan discusses a recent paper analyzing every video released by the Trump admin as part of their "UFO disclosure". Unsurprisingly, the paper reaches the conclusion that the lack of "telemetry data" makes it impossible to know what the UAPs captured on camera really are. For all we know, they could be birds or small drones. It´s not even certain whether stationary objects (which seem to be hovering) are really stationary! And so on.
The refusal of the US government to release the relevant data means that the "disclosure" is very partial...at best. It´s compatible with the conspiracy theory (not discussed in the video) that UFOs are really earthly aircraft, and that the military is intentionally psy-opping the public into believing in extraterrestrials as an excellent cover for its secret projects. Of course, the devious way in which the "disclosure" is made is *also* compatible with the UFOs actually being extraterrestrial, the military trying its best to hide that fact. Maybe that´s the thing: one purpose of the psy-op is to create confusion and conflict among UFO researchers.
My personal impression is that there is enough data to suggest that something genuinely anomalous is going on. Which doesn´t preclude all kinds of psy-ops and black-ops, of course. Both "ours" and "theirs" (as in Russia and China). Maybe Greenland is sending auk-like drones to mess with the Don´s ballroom blitz? That was a joke, but you do get my point...
There is also the very distinct possibility that neither the US military nor anyone else knows what in heaven´s name (pun intended) is going on. *We* know of course. It´s that "8th tower" going mustang. But hey, don´t tell the CIA!
Det färgblinda valet
Några hübinetter om det stundande valet. Observera orsaken till det sjunkande valdeltagandet: det är invandringen. Bland etniska svenskar verkar valdeltagandet vara 91%. Bland etniska svenskar med post-gymnasial utbildning är det 97% (sic).
Själv är jag en icke-etnisk svensk som har post-gymnasial utbildning och allvarligt funderat på att stå över valet, men av olika orsaker kommer jag att rösta även denna gång. Fast jag är tydligen en anomali hur man än vrider och vänder på det! Okej, *det* är jag åtminstone bekväm med, LOL.
I årets val är väljarkåren mer heterogen än någonsin tidigare
Värdegrund
Den obekväma slutsatsen av den här undersökningen verkar vara att invandrare väldigt ofta *inte* ändrar sina värderingar och att massinvandring således kan förändra mottagarlandets "värdegrund". Men TH vill kanske inte dra sådana slutsatser här?
Invandrare från Östeuropa mer lika MENA än majoritetsbefolkningen
It begins anew
It seems the never-ending Afghan conflict between the lesser greater evil and the greater greater evil (with the pure evil being thrown in for good measure) is starting all over again. At least according to the video above, which discusses an anti-Taliban resistance group called the AUF, headed by a former covert operations specialist from the old regime. OK, let me guess. If and when the Dems retake the White House, he will be declared the greater good and receive some quality military assistance from The Man? Indeed, the AUF might be receiving it already, since their office is in Virginia! And the official launch of the organization was made through a US Neo-Con website...
It begins anew.
Climate click bait
Greta Thunberg´s future husband? He´s perfect: autistic, nerdy, speaks English with a terrible British accent (I mean, the guy even *is* British) and is - wait for it - a climate change activist! I mean, dude. He´s probably privileged, too, since he pays people to research and produce his content.
As for this video, it´s click bait. The message of this overly-long YouTube clip is - if you follow it to the end -that we haven´t lost. We can still save the planet...by renewable energy, diminishing our individual carbon footprints, and (surprise) vote for pro-climate politicians. Imagine that. We can actually *vote* ourselves out of this predicament. Let me guess. Green Party?
But sure, he complains a lot about the evil oil companies. Gotta bait the young radical savages with something, I suppose. The funny thing is that all the negative stats he presents proves that we really have lost. Oh, and if he ever dates Greta, I´m sure she can tell him about how fucked CSC really is...
I´m being I-ronick
What´s up with all the pessimism? Carthage was rebuilt, so was Jericho, New Rome survived the demise of the old version. There are more Jews and American Indians today than before they were supposedly "genocided". There are more Germans, too. And most of them are good liberals, jawohl. And oh, the dinosaurs survived that once-in-a-planetary-lifetime asteroid collision. Yes, really. They are in your backyard right now. We call them "birds".
So why is everyone so damn negative all the time? I mean, puleeze! Progress is eternal. As for the Fermi paradox, we really are alone. Which means we can expand forever. In all directions. Right now.
Just have to shoot all those pessimists first!
En stilla undran
Hur kan AI leda till högre produktivitet om det krävs människor för att dubbelkolla allt den gör, så att den inte gör fel? Är AI verkligen framtiden, eller världshistoriens största blåsning?
Och vad händer när bubblan spricker...
