On Racism

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
Racism is an insidious, sneaky thing. It is practically impossible to completely stamp out once it is inside you, and it is almost impossible to keep it out with so…

On Pragmatism

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
I’ve always thought of pragmatism as the opposite of romanticism. Romantics look at the world in an idealized manner, seeing the world as they think it should be. Pragmatists, in…

On Selfishness

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
Since all acts are selfish, then no act can be selfish because the term would lose all meaning. If this is true, then the concept of selfishness cannot exist except…

On Racism and the Heap Paradox

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
My brain doesn’t buy the heap paradox as a true paradox. Heap is not a specific numerical distinction, so taking one away or adding one has no meaningful impact on…

On Concepts from “The Matrix”

Mathematical conventions to limit measurements that limit things that have no theoretical limit, like distance (long and short) and speed (fast and slow) are indicative of our own limitations, not the…

SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I (we, actually) have multiple blogs, and at the moment most of my/our attention is going to a different blog, called the clicky space. Here is a link to the clicky space homepage.

Everything on Strangeland except the Bobbi Project (I think) is also on the clicky space. We hope to see you there!

I in this case is Terry; we is the group of writers who comprise my/our blogiverse: Doug, John, Gary and a few others who mostly pop on and off.
