recently there has been some discomfort which has been brought about due to what I can only call ignorance and superstition on the part of some people who have hoped to portray me as some sort of dangerous person...a person who is, has or will do something extra-ordinary perhaps like turn someone into a newt..or a poot maybe....well I have had people threaten my life and so I will give some history and science to the problem
in 1692 there was a woman named Tituba who was a south american indian who was working for a family in Salem, Mass....this woman said that she thought one of the people in town was a witch...and before it was over with 19 people in town had been hanged for being "a witch"...serious bummer...now I don't read too much fiction and as for harry potter and the hobbit I think the real world is a lot more extraordinary than the "magic" being portrayed in some of the current fiction...a lot more excitement in physics and natural history than in fiction.....if you put nothing of real substantial factual information into your mind you will have a brain made of gummy bears and your life will be boring and dull...not exciting and interesting...now there is plenty of mystery and wonder in the world and people should take the time to find it and not wallow in pathetic superstition...and accuse someone of witchcraft or deviltry
"In a total picture of natural events, it is just as important to consider the exceptions to the rule as the averages. This is the fallacy of the of the statistical picture; it is one- sided, in as much as it represents only the average aspect of reality and excludes the total picture. The statistical view of the world is a mere abstraction and therefor incomplete and even fallacious, particularly when it deals with human psychology. Inasmuch as a chance maximum and minima occur, they are facts whose nature I set out to explore." Carl G. Jung "Synchronicity"
