"Those leading the long march back to reality cannot afford to ignore important sources of insight and one such source is the work of John Money" — an interesting and surprising analysis by Alex Byrne




Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher Bill, when you say you believe someone can be "born in the wrong body", you’re actually embracing a kind of spiritual belief — the idea that there’s a disembodied "self" or "essence" that somehow ends up in the wrong physical form. But that’s not science, that’s "Religulous".




I’m sharing this because this shouldn't happen to anyone. A taped-over safety system, an injury, and now corporate denial from Air Europa. Disabled passengers deserve better.

I started reading The Psychology of Totalitarianism by Mattias Desmet. The concept of "mass formation" made me curious. However, he begins with a crude interpretation of quantum mechanics to justify an anti-logical, quasi-spiritual epistemology. I decided to stop there.

Hidden timebombs — or in my case, a disabled wheelchair safety system — must be reported within seven days, not when the bomb goes off. That’s how Air Europa takes responsibility for the gross negligence of disabling a wheelchair's safety system without informing the passenger.
