I have never
had, in a long life
of creating ideas,
and things, a serious
review of any of it. No
serious consideration
of what was attempted,
what were the problems,
what was achieved.
But then you don’t get that
for your life itself
I suppose,

I am ignorant and I vote
Sad that there are now
so many people who
take pride in their
ignorance, where once
it was a mark of a
human being to
take pride in
knowledge,
intelligence,
and
achievement.

The saying
“as rare as hen’s teeth”
only works if, now and
then, a hen is born
with teeth. But in this
world, though not in
the Age of Dinosaurs,
the saying should be
“as non-existent
as hen’s teeth”.
No secret
The secret of success
is rich ancestors,
relatives in positions
of power, and a friend
who is a media baron

If you are not
an atheist by
the age of seven
you aren’t
thinking.

Oh for heavens sake
how can it already be
nearly the end of
twenty eighteen?
The years are flashing
past faster than that
rock from another star
that whizzed through our
solar system to fast to be
properly observed
Best keep it closed
There is not a
religious believer
on the planet
who doesn’t reveal
their ignorance of
reality every time they
open their mouth
Death of a patriarch
How sad that a man
in his ninety fifth year
should say:
“My faith has never
been stronger”.
In all those years
his mind never
matured enough,
his intelligence never
developed enough,
his knowledge never
grew enough,
to be able to
think for himself.
And that both he,
and others, should see
this not as a major
failure of intellect
and character, but as
a cause for praise.

How many millions
of words have I
written?
Half a million in
one book alone,
other millions
scattered from one
end of my life to
the other.
It would be nice
to think one or two
will be remembered,
else why did I bother?
