Reality

Is Reality so simple?

Whatever our Notions are, they fall short.

A Thought

Good to look deep.

There's much of Interest to notice.

For Instance, the more you look into Physics, the more interesting it gets.

Reality is more complex than we can imagine.

I look into Words and Languages, being a Linguist, not a Scientist.

Tribute

I pay Tribute to our NHS Nurses.

Underpaid, overworked.

True Saints of modern Britain!

It's coming!

Tha an t'Saoghal nuadh a' tighinn!

Feuch!

The new World is coming!

Behold!

[Scots Gaelic]

Homo Sapiens

Homo Sapiens, we call ourselves, meaning Wise Man, as we congratulate ourselves smugly on this and that. Sapiens???? The Facts of the Matter refute that Claim! We need another Name, and here it is: Homo Stupidus! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/09/cop26-sets-course-for-disastrous-heating-of-more-than-24c-says-key-report
