Pure Hate


Hate quotes are everywhere.  The Internet is loaded with them.  Many are created by celebrities trying to be clever.  Many more are created by philosophers. Others are biblical.  Some are fantastic; most are stupid. Check them out. 
Did you know the usage of “hate” in the literature has tripled in the last twenty years*?  Hate is becoming ever more popular.  Here are few manufactured at my little factory of convolution – except for the Perry Mason quote, which I like.
  • Hate is the swizzle stick of discontent.  (And after it stirs things up, it pollutes.)
  • Some people tend a garden of hatred, fertilizing their crops with coarse and vile thought.
  • “Hate has a taste all its own that fills your throat and chokes you.” --- The Perry Mason Show, The Nervous Accomplice.
  • Hate destroys - the self when internal, others when external.
  • “I hate the weather,” is not hate, but merely a rebuke.
  • They say hate is an emotion, but it is also a fuel.
  • Hate is expected to be a bumper crop this election year.
  • While we enjoy films about love, both found and lost, or lost then found. We love films about hate, through rage, vengeance, retribution, all with the common denominator of violence – lots of it.

More to come…

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

The Calculus of Ideas and Patterns

  Introduction. When dealing with ideas, patterns, intuition, and brainstorming, we need operations or rules not unlike those of arithmetic. The goal is not proof, a finished device, or a fait accompli , but rather a foundation for further investigation and study. In some cases, these operations may yield a proposition, that is, something capable of being proved. In this sense, they form a practical logic of intuition. The article concludes with a few select examples from a variety of venues. Setting. We are working with a given idea, problem, or project, or simply just thinking. Our aim is to discover pathways, patterns, or conceptual connections that may be useful. The following operations describe ways in which ideas and patterns can be generated, transformed, or refined. These also work toward understanding the imagination. Yet, this framework is distinguished from formal logic and proof. We are tempted to call them as “soft logic” because while nothing is proved, reasons...

Hugging your pet.

  There are two kinds of pet people: Those who love their pet and hug it to show affection, and those who hug themselves with their pet. By the way, in the photo below, you see a baby echidna. They are called puggles.
