For any given 24 hour period the chances of you looking at your digital clock and seeing 11:11 is one in 720. So, if you glance at your clock a hundred times per day your chances are pretty good of seeing that number in a weeks time (or any other random time you pick, such as 4:20 or 3:14 etc.)

Ontelligence
I have concluded that the universe is embedded with intelligence, even the laws of randomness from which we spring out of nothingness. Even they are imbued with an overriding intelligence.
Art
Art, whether it’s a picture you are painting, a song you are writing, a machine you are building, a dance you are perfecting or anything else is always a lot of work for usually little compensation.
Who is God
If we are the result of quantum fields inexorably fluctuating out of nothing then those quantum fields are God.
the Schumann Resonance
I bet it’s the source of “the hum”. Maybe UFOs are the field quanta of the Schumann Resonance.
Election 2024
I think what this election has shown me is that while the pen may be mightier than the sword, it too has limits.
Government and the law
The government is not the law. The government must follow the law. We the people make the law.
If only our dreams
Everett’s so called Many Worlds theory is almost like religious consolation. It admits at least that somewhere in some parallel world we happily live all of our dreams. That little bit of consolation is at least better than nothing.
Atheism and Reason
I’ve been reading and watching a fair amount by the late Christopher Hitchens and others arguing for atheism. A commonly brought up theme is that people are blindly following and refusing to give up their belief in books and notions of God and the world created by practically Stone Age people from thousands of years ago as opposed to the wisdom and and knowledge and truth of modern science, which seems to increasingly point to the natural origin of all things. However, have they forgotten the pyramids which were built thousands of years ago by these people.? We can’t build pyramids today because we don’t know how! So, we might want to hesitate a bit before giving short shrift to the words and ideas of people from thousands of years ago.
Morning thought
I think that as 1/2 of humanity who bear the unique burden of birthing humanity that women alone should decide the abortion issue. Therefore the U.S. solution to the abortion issue would entail a constitutional amendment allowing for women alone votes on qualifying laws, identity politics to the extreme you might say.
