The myth of the arbitrary movements of the heavenly bodies
2024-04-18 12:49 Many seem to lack basic knowledge on the movements of the heavenly bodies.  This applies to things like the following:
Radioactivity, fission and fusion
2024-04-12 12:52 Radioactivity is about certain elements – or variants of them – in course of time decaying.  Most such which has been found have never been observed to decay.  A smaller fraction has and then emit ionising radiation.
What is radiation?
2024-04-10 12:06 A great deal seem to believe everything called “radiation” to be dangerous.  I think it is because the ionising was first payed attention to as such.  Which has then been overgeneralised to apply to all radiation.

Orders of magnitude matters
2024-03-21 12:39 It is important to keep track of which order of magnitude something has.  Otherwise one’s concepts of nature risk becoming far too erroneous.  Which in turn creates needless fear.
The limits of oral tradition
2024-03-13 13:18 Among pseudohistorians there is an overconfidence in oral traditions.  Detailed knowledge of the past is believed to be passed on for millennia.  To me this appears preposterous.

The problems with UFO reports
2024-03-06 12:37 UFO was originally acronym for unidentified flying object.  Unfortunately, there are a lot believing everything which is unidentified have to be made by aliens.  The result is there now being “ufologists” defending this wrongful idea.
The limits of human memory
2024-03-01 12:48 A great deal on people seem to believe their memory to be perfect.  The trouble is human memory is part of human nature.  Processes taking place naturally can’t create anything perfect.
Change does not have to be bad
2024-02-27 13:21 Some seem to have trouble grasping that enemies can be imaginary.  I primarily think about individuals believing loads of others to be out to them.  Once it might have been normal to believe that very many of one’s fellow beings are evil.
