Tech billionaires and rogue scientists allegedly are planning to commercialize designer babies. These tech billionaires and rogue scientists (albeit the latter should know) don’t understand that CRISPR isn’t a new or superior kind of tool, but the innovation, which came together with its introduction, was to simply drop several safety standards, which had been deemed […]

My article ‘The Morning Midas on Fire’ is only one of several articles on ships, that transported electric vehicles and caught fire. These ships caught fire most likely not due to transporting electric vehicles. But the fires became inextinguishable indeed due to transporting electric vehicles. So the shipping company Matson meanwhile reacted to the Morning […]

This time, I got the question from a website, not from a tv show. I nevertheless have to wonder about this question. While using male pronouns for God certainly isn’t gendering, some people, even today, would have big difficulties with accepting a God, who isn’t male.

Though human bites are hazardous because they cause mysterious infections, this doesn’t help at all when needing to defend oneself.

This only is the description of an ad in German tv and I wonder about myself still not having told about it. A boy in karate attire attempts to break some boards. He attempts to do so in front of some friends, but these children either turn away or cover their eyes. The child in […]

No, I never had wild boars in my garden. Foxes in my backyard, yes, but this is something completely different. However, some people risk terrible injuries by trying to expel wild boars from the garden. Differently from the still mysterious case of the bicyclist, a potentially fatal mistake while trying to expel a wild boar […]

Tibetan or Vajrayāna (वज्रयान) Buddhism features many supernatural beings, esoteric rituals, and transmigration into six possible realms. These are the realms of the gods, the half-gods, the humans, the animals, the hungry ghosts, and the hellish creatures. The latter realm also is known as the hot hells and cold hells of Buddhism. Gods in this […]

The question “And what can I do about it?” can be understood in different ways. So what did my teacher mean? One way to understand the question would be: “I have several options.
