November Snapshots: Garbage, Vote-Buying, Hair, Beach, Ants, Park, Tire, Banana-Q
(November 1-31, 2024) After being in Ormoc and Cebu, it's good to go back home to Tagbilaran despite the garbage episodes, the ruined good roads and the slow cashiers. Oh well, I should really just leave the place if I can't stand it....more »»
Nov Food: Pizza, Smores
(November 2024) November was overwhelming with pizza. I can't get enough of it. But on the side, I took a liking to smores. I would prepare some at Bantawan and share it with the vendors....more »»
Starting all over with String Theory
(November 30, 2024) My jaw just dropped when I saw a podcast with Leonard Susskind saying, 'I can tell you with absolute certainty that String Theory is not the real world that we live in, so we need to start over.'. Whoa! This is a bombshell. For decades, I have been enamored by the predictions of String Theory. I've romanticized it in my head a zillion times. 54 years of promising research down the drain? Now, we have to start all over again? What the F#%K!...more »»

Philosopher King
(November 18, 2024) Ever since I saw the movie Captain Fantastic where the archetype 'philosopher king' was idealized in a dysfunctional political system, I couldn't get the thought out of mind especially in this day and age where politics have become synonymous with power, wealth and control. Who do we have now who can be 'philosopher king'? And who have been philosopher kings in humankind's history?...more »»
Quantum Field Theory
(November 13, 2024) As I was watching a podcast between Sir Roger Penrose and Federico Faggin about Quantum Physics and consciousness, a few words were bounced around - quantum field, wave function collapse, special relativity and quantum gravity. I have a vague sense of what they are, but to pin them down? I had to ask AI and embark on a new learning curve about the quantum realm....more »»
US President Donalld Trump

Christopher Langan: 200 I.Q.
(November 3, 2024) If someone who worked as a ranch hand, laborer, and bouncer starts talking about his version of the construent essence of reality, what might make you believe him?

Kundalini Yoga
(November 1, 2024) I have done an exhaustive study of Kundalini awakening with Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Swami Shivananda Saraswati authored Kundalini Yoga and I'd like to find out the overlaps and new things I can glean from this book. My practice in the past many years has been focused on Kundalini awakening. This book adds another layer to all that....more »»
