A Brief History of Everything

Image
A Brief History of Everything Everything has already happened. The past, the present and the future happen in the ‘now’   --- The Meddlesome Priest It makes perfect sense when you think about it. Start with the question , “Did everything that ever happened happen just as it happened and in exactly no other way than it did happen?” Well, the answer to that is and obvious ‘yes’ . Everything that ever happened, no matter what or when that was, happened in an exact way, and in no other way than it did happen. Deductively we know this is true whether or not we know that ‘exact way’ it precisely happened.  This is rationally irrefutably because it’s a tautology . How so?  The only clear, precise, and absolute meaning of ‘anything that ever did happen’ in the ‘past’ entails the very notion that whatever happened did so in a unique and exact way and in no other way otherwise something else would have happened it its own exact way. Time is not somethi...

True Myths And False Lies

True Myths and False Lies Americans are loud. Germans drink lots of beer. Italians are passionate. Chinese eat live baby mice. Every stereotype has a grain of truth  --- The Meddlesome Priest Nothing is genuine anymore. Even our fakery is fake. It’s now admired in the mainstream. They call it ‘media’. Myths are facts and facts are lies. Lies are true when they’re false and truth is a myth when it’s false. Take for example the recent ‘fact’ proclaimed from the dais of the O keechobee County Commission meeting recently by commissioner, Bryant Culpepper (third from left below). In answer to the question about how to kill the CORVID-19 virus.  “You hold a blow dryer up to your face and you inhale with your nose and it kills all the viruses in your nose.” --- Bryant Cullpepper (source: https://nypost.com/2020/03/23/florida-politician-says-coronavirus-cured-by-blowing-hairdryer-up-nose/ ) Which raises the philosophical question, “Are there grains of truth in a...

2020 New Tower of Babel Decade

Image
    New Year’s predictions are never hard to make, but they are hard to be accurate. 2020 is not only a new year, but it’s a new decade. So, it’s only fitting to predict that the 2020 decade will be the Tower of Babel Decade . You know the story from Genesis chapter 11, verses 1-9? Oh, you were jacking-off to Karl Marx porn that day in Bible Study you filthy little commie? Let’s refresh then: Genesis 11:1-9 1  Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.  2  As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.  3  They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.  4  Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”  5  But the LORD came down to see the cit...

Santa Barbara City College Commits Slow Suicide

Commits Slow Suicide Former professor Celeste Barber heckled into tears defending The Pledge at SBCC meeting 1-24-2019 A college, any college, is procreated, nourished, and sustained by one principle; college is a beacon and community resource for the contentious, open life-of-ideas, the creative exchange of ideas, and the clash of opposing, even unpopular ideas, for the development of individual student’s character as informed members of the larger society. A college, any college, is not a factory producing cogs in some mindless collective machine. Nor is a college, any college, a secular monastery where an elite sacerdotal caste fantasizes rules and regulations for living to be imposed on the general society that funds their cloister. A college, any college, is not a place where the popular philosophy of a previous generation becomes legislative policy mandates for the present generation. When a college, any co...
