When I was a child, my mother went with me to a certain place and without a word of explanation left me there. The situation reminded me a little bit of brothers Grimm’s fairy tail “hanssle and grettle” (Hänsel und Gretel), where two children were left by their parents just somewhere in a forest. Except […]

I stumbled upon another blog featuring some articles on karate. Its author doesn’t care about belts, although wanting to make an exception for the first black belt. It’s already the third blog, which teaches me about “black belt mills”. I think that places of this kind don’t exist in Europe or at least not in […]

Probably not too many people will believe in Silvio Gesell’s theory that the Biblical Moses was the inventor of gunpowder. When Wikipedia still was young and fresh, I had checked whether it is biased and denies everything, which has to be attributed to the Chinese. I found that it indeed was the case. Even the […]

Taurinensis is asteroid #512 and also known as 1903 LV and as A909 GE. Taurinensis is the fourth-largest of the Mars-orbit-crossing asteroids, but besides this only a boring stony asteroid. Taurinensis’ orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.19 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.25, a period of revolution of 1 184 days, and […]

Random people since many years tell me that predestination or determinism only can be wrong because we as human beings would have something, which these random people call the Free will. But whenever I asked for a definition of this mysterious Free will, I never got a serious reply. I only got evasions. It always […]

On June, 2nd had Wikipedia begun to make summaries by an Artificial Intelligence. This was only on the mobile version and was a test, which lasted two weeks because it was ended earlier than planned. The Wikipedia authors disliked the results. The new tool was called “horrid” and “nonsense” and so on. The test hadn’t […]

Jesse Enkamp sometimes feels jealous of Funakoshi Gichin, from whom are the Shōtō nijū-kun (松濤二十訓). So Jesse Enkamp made his own list of precepts, but twenty-nine instead of “only” twenty. I think that only his eleventh precept is interesting: “11. Understand the straight punch and you’ve come a long way to understanding Karate.” Should he be […]

Several religious tv shows and also religious tv stations emerged during the last years. Religious tv stations naturally also broadcast movies with Biblical tales as story plots. I wonder why these always, as if this would be a religious dogma, have to be so boring that they are too much a pain to watch. This […]

If you enjoy watching wrestling, then you certainly noticed that cruiserweights fight differently from heavyweights. This is wise, so martial artists, too, should do this. But if you’re a karateka, then don’t tell Jesse Enkamp if you don’t want to risk that he vomits in your face. He doesn’t believe in adapting your fighting style […]

While waiting for my daily anime to begin in free tv, I watched another religious tv show. (Now you figured out why I watch so many random religious tv shows.) Some theologians tried to answer the question whether the Final Judgement must be feared. They first explained what other people think about this topic. Hell […]
