Bored? Skeptic? Tired? Here is a tonic sketch of what a healthy humanist human should aim for, IMO:
Modify your country’s constitution so that it incorporates the following principles:

the end of all the evils principle

The total wealth of any human should be limited, at any moment, to a lifetime of average wages.
This will not affect about […]

Blue Sunday Morning from Out Of Focus (1971) by Out Of Focus. wish u were there…

Just when I was thinking I kinda nailed it down with the concepts of humanist economy and limited wealth, transparent administration etc., I found a much more refined model of society called inclusive democracy. If you’re questioning the current state of affairs around you, and wish to do your best to fix the problems, this […]

To define the clinical insanity, I need to define what is a lifetime of average wages: if the average wage in your country is, say, 1000 units, then a lifetime of average wages means about 100 years multiplied with 12 months multiplied with 1000 units, that is, about a million (1.000.000) units. If you’d have […]

To all my friends, here’s a relevant short presentation of George Carlin, written by John Nichols. Well, George Carlin has already become a part of me, among others.

I read a nice piece on Jay Leno’s patriotism, which reproduces that list.
I’ll touch each one of those items below (read that list first, I won’t copy it here):

A. If you have electricity and running water, you […]

part VI, from The Dark Side of the Moog 8 (Careful with the AKS, Peter) (1999), by Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze . Damn they’re good. Wish you were there.

I learned that 80% of the North-American voting system is based on closed software and private technology secrets, that is, the technology is not open to inspection by the public, the voters; not even by the public administration (for detailed information on these issues, check blackboxvoting.org).
This is the ultimate proof of the misery of the […]

Skepticism has nothing intellectual about it. Criticism does. Skepticism, if not supported by criticism, is just a cover for absence, it is an apparently academic dressing for ignorance, it’s also a cover for those who want, because of some shortsightedness, to see a certain idea or action fail.
