The Lakers Will Never win with Just Kobe

The just Kobe Bryant Lakers will never win an NBA title. Last Seasons NBA Finals showed just how deficient they were. They do not have enough in the tank to get it done.

bigotry is wrong

There are unfortunately a lot of people who are basically bigots. They have a lot of hatred and fear and they seek to take it on other people for a false sense of superiority. Bigotry is self destructive and ultimately accomplishes nothing.

mental adolescents

There are many people in this town I am in who have not progressed past age thirteen in their mental make up. These people have no emotional maturity or empathy and they are basically teenagers in their sensibilities. Mental adolescents are not a good thing to be.

the gadget age

Right now we live in the era of great gadgets. They would include the computer, the telephone and the airplane. This era will be defined by advances in modern technology and its ability to shape our collective futures.

Intolerance is Wrong

The author of this blog has suffered some recent misfortunes of late. Those who deride me will never know either peace or happiness. They will suffer the pain of my curse put upon them. That is all for now.

arm chair democrats

It is time for us to stop talking about democracy and to actually act on preserving it. This is especially true of the European Democracies. They have to walk the walk and talk the talk at the same time or else Russia will smite out true democracy from existence elsewhere. I would rather like to have a government that lives up to the ideals of democracy rather than one that talks about it.

Hatred is Destructive

Hatred is self destructive and corrosive. It will destroy you as a person if you use it to much and for superficial reasons. Beware all of you haters out there your days and time are numbered and you will never know success at anything.

Insecure People

Those people who take out their own negative emotions on others will ultimate gain nothing. Basically they are bullies and bullies have no courage what so ever. So you may bash me for a false sense of superiority but it will ultimately gain you nothing.

Superficial Differences

Apparently my age group is really superficial. That is not a compliment at all. We should be more tolerant of those who are different from us. We have to remember that societies built around hatred of the other were almost inevitably destroyed.

The Perfect Storm

Of late it feels like my personal life has been hit with the equivalent of the perfect storm. A combination of social and biological problems has made my life really complex of late. None the less I feel neither self pity or doubt in the course of action for which I am about to undertake. At the core I have always been an optimist. I always believe that things will get better long term rather than worse. It is kind of what keeps me going.

Just because its different does not mean its bad





Unfortunately for some of us we know we are radically different from others. However different does not always mean a negative thing. In fact differences can be beneficial in many cases to say the least.

Xenophobia is alive and well

Unfortunately for those of us who are different xenophobia is alive and well. However if we crush the souls of all those people who are different from us we risk destroying the future. It is people who are different who will make that future a reality for all of us. One day I hope that there is genuine tolerance.

Killing Genius

What modern medicine is doing to the human mind is quite deplorable. Let us stop and think about just how many successful and important people suffered from mental disorders. They would include Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, George Patton, Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci. Think of the loss to humanity if those men had had their talents whiped out by over medication. We should stop mistreating geniuses.

Not Fitting the Mold

Creative People rarely fit molds of any kind. None the less we serve a valuable function because it is people like us who create the future. None of humanity's great creative geniuses fit any mold of any kind. Its just who we are.

Blog from the Basement

The future of Computers

Quantum computing is the future of the information as we know it. In a short time I will be writing a series of stories about David "Paragon" Jones. These stories center around the idea of infra-space. Just as Bill Gibson wrote about Cyber Space in the 1980s. I hope you will enjoy them.

Lessons from the Gilded Age

The Gilded Age a term coined by Mark Twain was a period in US History in the 1880's in which government served only the interests of the rich. There were no labor laws, no environmental protections and as a result capitalism would much later collapse. The Gilded Age has something to teach us about our own times.

Science Fiction is Here to stay

Science Fiction is the future of fiction. It has always been the fiction of what could be and what is now. Personally I think it is the most relevent of all Genre's.

Libertarianism is Fundamentally Correct

In light of recent events, I come to the conclusion that some degree not all but some of liberatarianism is correct. Government should have a lot of restrictions in what it can and cannot do. Protection of human rights is of paramount importance in this age. So Bob Barr I am with you on that score!

A Bad Start But a Strong Finish

I spent four years in community college back in California. My first year in Community College was largely wasted. Foothill Community College in Los Altos California was largely a waste of time. This was true at least for me personally. I then spent three and half years at De Anza Community College in Cuppertino. The latter was most excellent and it is a big part of why I am at UNLV today. Although the beginning was rough I hoping for a smooth and excellent finish.

Perception of an Ilness

The disorder that I suffer from is profound. However it has also given me gifts and insight I would not have otherwise have. Also I have to take solace that many famous and successful people have suffered from my mental disorder. So I need to work to develop my strengths.

Why I Study History

I am a history major and once someone I knew asked me why do you study history? My answer was because it has so many useful applications. Two of these areas include Business and Politics. There are many famous and successful history majors including eight American Presidents, businessman Steve Wynn, and two other famous history majors include NFL Quarterback Joe Namath and Baseball Commissioner Bud Seilig. What these people all have in common is the fact that they value knowledge of the past and how it can shape our future. I happen to think along similar lines.

A new short story

Currently I am working on a new short story. It is called "the Last Reader". This story is a distopian future tale of a world in which reading no longer takes place amongst young people. It is none the less a powerful allegory about our current pedagogy.

For only the fourth time this entire year I will be in a place that is not Las Vegas. I will be visiting my native state and seeing my family this weekend. This is the first time I will have been home since March of this year.

Nancy Pelosi is Incompetent

If commentators say that John McCain has egg on his face over the failed bank bailout. Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must have a three cheese omelete on her face right about now. I oppose the bank bailout. So should Speaker Pelosi. As speaker of the house she should have put her foot down and said no dice. However she was held political hostage by a group of greedy people. This should be seen as a monumental failure of judgment on her part considering that in 2007 she pledged that it would not be government as usual.
