What I think about when teaching abc's

Have you ever wondered if the onset of the end was brought about by the mass adoption of "modern" religion?
I had the thought that previous incarnations of human civilization had been paying their respects to the elements or animals in some form or another, making the extinction of a possible diety religious treason. But in the modern expression of religion, the object of worship is an expression of consciousness. A being, that is able to be in all places at once, but leaves us with the idea that we are of its image. We assume of course that this makes it somehow humanistic. Which leaves us preserving ourselves and the poor cow gets the chop.
This prioritization of our own species has lead to the reckless manner in which we improve our standard of living at the detriment of all other things including the water we drink, the air we breathe, the soil we tread and the food we eat. All of this to an extent that 8,000 years of civilization has never (to our knowledge) done previously. Perhaps the practical realization of the apocalypse well be induced by the fear of it.
The anticipation of another environment in the afterlife has to catalyze the disregard for the current to some extent.
One wonders if the example of the golden cow was to dissuade us from prioritizing a single element over all elements, the holy spirit being all things in existence.
Perhaps the line about man being created in the image of god was referring to our level of responsibility for our world, or was added in to make it easier to illustrate the children's editions.
Or it all could just be a coincidence. Nevertheless, I now have one more way to make myself less popular at dinner parties.

The Interent is us.

Hours

I found an hour this morning.

I was rather tiredly readying myself for work and there it was, hidden in the space between the 1 and 0 of ten ante meridiam. I spent 60 minutes pondering the importance of this discovery, and realised that there was suddenly, little significance due to my abdicting contemplation.

Not regular, not irregular either

I know that I have been somewhat less than consistant with updating this page.

That really just adds to the mystery doesn't it though ....


Everything is going fine apart from the weather. It never fails to amaze me, the variety of things that young childred get up to. THey are everything that they will be, from sweet to dangerous. I had theoriezed that adults are young children with more shutters and masks to hide their intentions. After spending so much time with children I still maintain that point of view.

We are who we are. Few of us change in a fundamental way.

I still want to sit in the sun on a cold day, read comics and play with pens.

Technology

I read today that there is an experiment being conducted on reading the keystrokes of wired (plugged in keyboards) from  a distance.  This even appears to work through walls.   It makes me wonder if the intelligent people of today are subconsciously working toward making the things that they saw on t.v. in the 80s and 90s a reality. 

I expect to see a plethora of Macgyver inspired gadgets on the market soon.
