We need to constantly remind ourselves of the wisdom of the past to prevent a tragedy in the future. Of course, MLK’s words above apply very directly to our times. I just hope there are still enough of us around to stamp out the dangers we currently find ourselves in. Martin Luther King Jr. Continue reading Quotes – About Ignorance & Stupidity
I once was talking to my boss about possibly designing something that was approaching state-of-the-art, but I wasn’t sure it could be done. He said,

To me, the statement “Let nature take its course” is kinda synonymous with “It’s in God’s hands”. Saying that seems to put some people at ease for not doing something personally to solve the problems of the world. Another is that they don’t trust anything that they don’t understand. Science is all about understanding the mysteries of nature. We simply can’t wait for the universe … Continue reading If We Let Nature Take Its Course, We Would All Be Dead of Cholera or COVID

There are some people in this world who are just not opened to the possibility that they don’t know everything about everything. It’s interesting to note that mentality was one of the primary causes of “Early Middle Ages”, otherwise known a the “Dark Ages” between the years 500-1000.

I don’t know if I invented the phrase in the title above, I kinda doubt it, but it does pretty much describe how I feel about the subject. Getting to the very core of this subject I wish I had learned most of my lessons earlier in life. What good is that wisdom now that I am out of the mainstream and heading downhill? If I … Continue reading Wisdom Is Wasted On The Eldery
I get weekly quotes from iHearts143Quotes to help me understand life. This one particularly got my attention.

Wisdom has been on my mind lately. But before I get started on this topic I need to distinguish between two types of perceived wisdom, gut wisdom and learned wisdom. Gut Wisdom — Gut wisdom is that feeling you get when you think you instinctively know something. It’s what your gut tells you is the truth. I know the current Oval Office occupant says he … Continue reading About Wisdom…
“I don’t suppose there ever was a time when everybody knew as little about what they were talking about as they do today.” – Will Rogers, 19 September 1933 How does ignorance come to outshine wisdom? Of course, that is not true for all of us but the percentages seem to be drifting in that direction as our recent elections showed us. The religions of … Continue reading Ignorance Outshines Wisdom
Like the Force in the Star Wars Saga common sense has a good side and a dark side and sometimes it is difficult to know which is which in any given circumstance.

This type of common sense is what the early philosophers and even Tom Paine … Continue reading About Common Sense…
