Medjugorje Apparitions

Many devout Catholics have reported apparitions of The Virgin Mary at Medjugorje, Bosnia. See Our Lady of Medjugorje. There seems to be a great deal of uncertainty in the dates!

See:
And:

Then see Deafinitely 27th March and Mylène Farmer Gig. So, Ladies, whatever you do, don't gather in large numbers today!

For one possible scientific approach to studying such phenomena, see Susan Blackmore on Consciousness. It is a problem with a long history. See Hopi Prophecies and the Fifth World of the Australian Aboriginals:


The problem is women wandering about in forests, it seems. Forests in Portugal, France, Bosnia, wherever, ... See Sibylle Baier - I Lost Something in The Hills:


So the only kinds of collective religious experience with Vatican approval are the ones that are based entirely on endocrine signalling, molecular oestrogen-mimicry and social programming. Stuff like this is fine then, Francis, isn't it?


You are God's representative here on earth, aren't you, Francis? I'd invite you to a Burger King™ but it's closed right now, ... presumably in case someone has a religious experience that turns out to be completely life-changing for about 24 hours, depending upon the microbiological causal agent involved.


Otherwise I could offer you an esorcism. How about that? My friend Freddy the "priest" gave me one, uninvited, on 13th April 2011, and it really was life-changing. In fact, it fucking nearly killed me! But you know what they say, ... See On Psychobotanics and Neurology and The Logic of Aristotle.

To understand all this you need to know how to fill a Klein bottle, and you need to know the difference between водка and воды. See The Vatican Looking Pretty Woke!


PS Can I have my shoes back, please? I did not give them to you, they were stolen one night while I was asleep. You may keep the iPhone however. See Women Playing Hard Ball.

Johann Sebastian Bach also knew how to play his audience. Transparently! I think you could learn a lot from J.S. Bach and Mylène Farmer:

Stefan Molyneux on Resource Based Economy

Image
This is an interesting discussion. What most people don't realise is that capitalism as we practice it now wastes 99.9% of the human and material resources we currently use. Once you realise that, the problems raised by the idea of gift or resource-based economies become much more tractable. At  10 minutes 30 seconds  the discussion turns to the way we treat our family and friends differently. We don't charge our nearest and dearest. At this point Molyneux brings in Neo-Darwinian evolution to explain why there is this difference between the way we treat our kith and kin to the way we treat everybody else. I guess he will go on to argue that this is because we evolved to be like this, otherwise we would not have survived. He will presumably say that this is human nature and because it is genetically determined, nothing we can do short of a programme of eugenics and euthenasia will change that. Well, ... you know what my answer to that will be, ... something along the lines:

Sabine Hossenfelder - Lost in Math

Image
Sabine's book,  Lost in Math published in 2018. See  Rebecca Smethurst on the Crisis in Cosmology . Here's an interview on the subject of the book: At 16 minutes 27 seconds on aesthetics in a theory. I think you should worry first and foremost about whether or not it works, otherwise you are not doing empirical science. At 19 minutes 19 seconds on whether there would be better ways to advance physics other than by building the next generation of super high-energy particle collider. This is similar to military spending and it's really just an artefact of Keynesian monetary theory: that you can create 'wealth' by employing men to dig holes in the road and fill them up again. Of course you are not creating real wealth, you are destroying it and creating fake money. The upshot is that the better ways of spending much, much less money on encouraging sound scientific teaching and research are not of any interest, because they don't employ nearly so ma

Nikola Tesla and the End of The World

At  1 minute 21 seconds  the building in the background, in Trafalgar Square , as she says "There is a story in our family that my great grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla, ..." is ... ... what? Hint: it is near to a statue of George Washington, a replica donated by the  Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921 .  See  War Crimes . Watch all four episodes of  Nikola Tesla and the End of The World  and then watch this: And on the meaning of the word sovereignty see: On the Mason-Dixon Line, the "boundary of slavery" in the American colonies, it might be insightful to compare the  Britannica  and  Wikipedia  entries and see where they differ. Then, especially if you're my daughter, see  On Feminist Genealogy . Then see this documentary about Mark Knopfler and what motivates his music. There's a nice bit at  17 minutes  about where songs come from, and what happens to their origin, and the role of Town Planners like my father, in this process, part
