Debate

If science isn’t open for debate, it’s religion, then.

Math problem

The Universe is 93 bln light-years across. Half of that is 46.5. The universe is 13.8 bly old. So… if nothing in the Universe travels faster than light… what gives?!

Answer: Space itself is expanding faster than the speed of light. Hmmm…

Precision

The Universe is striving to be precise. The level of precision is a sure-fire sign of intelligence.

Analogy

Comets as spermatozoids, planets as eggs?

Reading

Reading impairs eyesight. Only the illiterate can see well. – Gabriel Laub, Czech/German journalist

Importance

Whether something is important, depends entirely on perspective.

Giving

Giving is easy when you don’t have anything to give.

Constructs

Fairness, justice, generosity… are human constructs. Nature respects only selfishness and opportunity.

Capitalism

Capitalism is all about finding new and clever ways to:
a) Rip people off
b) Destroy those who oppose it
It’s authoritarian and absolutist, but through different means.

Step

Accepting that you’re not responsible for everything is the first step to freedom.
