On the Philippines and (not only) Their Martial Art

I in the last time mentioned Filipino Martial Arts more often. So what do I have to do with them? I don’t have practical experience in them. But I since many years wonder about some facets of the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). My Uranus-IC-worldline runs through the Philippines. So I wonder if FMA would have […]

Inner Alchemy in Renaissance Age (Part 4)

The French author Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne reported that a Madame Janus, wife of a medical doctor, in the 18th century ran a strange business. Madame Janus recruited girls from the countryside. These when employed by her had to do daily physical exercises, obey a strange diet, and to defend their virginity. Their job […]

South Korea’s Former President Imprisoned?

To the purpose to test traditional astrological tenets about confinement, I had a look at the one or other political capture. Martin Armstrong in last January reported that South Korea’s former president Yoon Suk-Yeol would have got sentenced to five years in prison. So I searched an astrological event chart to the purpose to examine […]

Not a Real Army (Part 7)

Paramedic soldiers in the German army are quite incompetent as soldiers. This obviously is problematic, but it also is problematic due to a not so obvious reason. Each piece of ammunition owned by the German armed forces has to be thoroughly documented. Firing a shot, which wasn’t planned and ordered to get fired, causes additional […]

On Search Engine Associated Artificial Intelligence

When you have fun with Artificial Intelligence, then you should know that so-called Artificial Intelligence has nothing to do with intelligence. While the big and famous Large Language Models use their training data for making stuff up, the lesser known AIs, which are associated with search engines, have the advantage that they only make online […]

Pivoting on the Heel versus on the Ball of the Foot (Part 2)

When a German martial art instructor says “Seite wechseln!”, then isn’t clear whether he means change from left to right and vice-versa or exchange the roles of attackers and defenders. When he only says “wechseln!”, then he also could mean that his students should greet the next training partner. When a German martial art instructor […]

More Fun with Artificial Intelligence

After I found that an unnamed search engine AI could give comprehensive information on astrology, I thought it could perhaps do the same with respect to religion. So I asked in two variants what I thought would be the same question. Yet the AI came up with two different answers and seems (in my opinion […]

Southern Shàolín (少林) Style Mythology (Part 4)

During some eras in Chinese history, Buddhism was sponsored by the government. During other eras in Chinese history, Buddhists were prosecuted for being Buddhists. The Manchu in 1644 A.D. conquered China and replaced the Míngcháo (明朝) with their own dynasty, the Qīngcháo (清朝). Some rebels allegedly hid in the Shàolín (少林) Monastery, so soldiers of the […]

Fun with Artificial Intelligence

Just asked a nameless search engine AI the following things: Argue against astrology! Scientific Implausibility and Lack of Mechanism: Astrology lacks a plausible physical mechanism by which distant stars and planets could influence human behavior or life events. The gravitational and electromagnetic forces exerted by celestial bodies are infinitesimally small compared to local forces—such as […]
