i am going to attempt to write some of the material i had in yesterdays disappeared blog and see if it also gets "cancelled"...i thought about what it is that could have caused this severe reaction to my writing and i came to no certain answer..BUT! i wrote about a person who is indeed controversial and not a historic character but alive and kicking...she is an unapologetic sex worker and statistician of some renown...i was introduced to her for the first time in dr. lex fridmans interview #358 (4 hours) ...a very interesting encounter on several levels...she also has a very good more recent interview with joshua citarella of doom scroll...she refers to herself as a "whorelord"...whatever, i agree with much of her views but my world view is very much influenced by more than a decade as a zookeeper...most people see themselves as humans when i think a more honest and compassionate worldview would be for humans to view themselves as "EARTHLINGS" along with all the other creatures on planet EARTH...i used to disparage of those folks who spoke of people being "speciesist" and like anyone who disparages of that group other than there own the "others" suffer at the hands of the dominant group...some of the better youtube presentations i watched recently were dr. lex fridmans # 475 with dr. demis hassabis (2 hours 28 minutes) also Dr robert sapolsky has a good informative presentation (#72) with his "offspring" Rachel entitled "mother versus fathers" which explains the rather complex genetics inherited by offspring...people have 49% father genes and 51% mother genes...and one of the most informative youtube presentations i have ever watched was by dr. andrew huberman and dr. nirao shah who both work at stanford university (as does dr. sapolsky)..."male versus female brain differences" (2 hours and 26 min) which explains in understandable detail the multitude of molecular reasons why people are not born just boys or girls...the trans-sexual issues are much more understandable with these learned explanations...i also watched a good movie available online "Dead Fall" (1968) with michael caine...the cinematography was by gerry turpin and the editing was by john jympson...both were excellent ( i am assuming that the credit for "photography" is the same as the cinematography)...i also watched part of the dvd collection "Introduction to Paleontology (smithsonian 2016) by prof, stuart sutherland...i keep hearing about the "hard problem of consciousness" when i think we should spend more time contemplating the "problem of hard consciousness"...the human species seems hell bent on mass murder...150,000 dead from the ongoing conflict in sudan...but they don't get too much air-time...the other thing that makes my "world-view" somewhat different from many others is the "medicine" that deprives me of most of my testosterone...this makes my focus much less intensely "sexual" than most male mammals...quite an interesting way to view the world...i feel much less vulnerable to seduction on many levels..."the most powerful army in the world can do nothing against the universal guerilla action " chou en-lai...this is my argument against this mindset...constant unrelenting conflict is bullshit and deprives the people involved of a life immersed in co-operation and love...and yet it is happening all over the world...don't get caught up in that net of sorrow...
