I hate the habit of renaming fighting techniques. So I decided to at least try to clarify some of the big confusion, to which even Wikipedia meanwhile is adding, not shying away from spreading AI-created nonsense. Wikipedia for example knows a rokkyō (六教) or sixth teaching, while most aikidōka (合気道家) learn only five of these […]

The seven deadly sins are three more than the cardinal virtues. Yet Thomas Aquinas wanted to oppose virtues to the cardinal sins, so needed seven virtues. He had good luck that he in 1 Corinthians 13 found three more virtues, which he defined to be the theological virtues. They are faith, hope, and love/ charity. […]

The anime, which I like least, are those, which were only produced to promote a certain game, for example Yugi-oh. Second(-least) to them are those anime, which center around certain computer games, which exist only in the anime. But already these do I, due to the too long period without anime in German free tv, […]

The seven deadly sins are by Thomas Aquinas called the seven cardinal sins because other languages than English don’t so easily permit to distinguish between deadly and mortal. Sins are cardinal when other sins emerge from them. The concept of cardinal sins is that all other sins emerge from them. They same is also applied […]

Karatedō (空手道) and jūdō (柔道) both got developed to stop bullying. Yet jūdō (柔道) meanwhile is not only a combat sport, but a sport, in which you get penalized if you don’t demonstrate aggressiveness. So jūdō (柔道) already is beyond repair. But in karatedō (空手道) still is known that there theoretically should be no attacks. […]

On the Tony Louis blog, I did read some articles on serial killers. Anthony Louis at first suspected that serial killers have grand trines in their natal charts. But already his second example did disprove this. Then Anthony Louis quoted Bob Marks, who examined several natal charts of serial killers. The amount still was so […]

My blog is neither journalistic nor political, yet I still have many topics to write about. Hence my writings seldom are up to date. So I needed until now to address a topic, about which Martin Armstrong wrote already in December of last year. He wondered whether women are prohibited from self-defense in Germany. I’m […]

English has more words than other languages, so making a distinction between mortal and deadly seems to be simple. But it isn’t so simple in the medieval sources of the concepts of the deadly sins and the mortal sins. While the mortal sins are clearly defined as intentional and conscious violations of the Ten Commandments […]

A while after the same old man, to whom I once tried to explain tài-jí-quán (太極拳), told me his opinion about the christian religion, he came to the Bible study group, which I at that time used to visit. He came there because he wondered what is so fascinating about Christendom that many of the […]

The deadly sins have a clear definition, so pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth are the deadly sins. There are exactly seven of them! This is suspicious and should make curious. Why are there exactly seven deadly sins? Because this assortment is fifteen centuries old, so there is an answer, which should suggest […]
