World’s Greatest Societal Human Tragedy

Part I:    Without Pity, there can NOT be true Civilization.

Part II:  With indiscriminate Pity, Civilization lacks the WILL to maintain Civilization.

Today I read a UPI story of an angry Chicago-area lunatic named Trent Schneider, age 57.  He has repeatedly posted online threats to murder President Trump.  To the EVIL SCUMBAG PRESS, this arrest is a no-news-value suppression of Free Speech and hardly a criminal matter or they would have widely reported it.  But they did not – so far.

On October 24. 2023, on this website, in an essay titled “A Tale of Two de-facto French-Named Sovereign Monarchs,” in the…..

Part I:  Movie Audiences

Long ago, starting when I was in junior high school until I was almost 40-years old, I went to a tremendous number of movies – mostly alone.  I have never been an easy laugher without truly strikingly funny material.  I can actually remember laughing out loud at a really funny comedy if the audience around me was also laughing.  I don’t think that the old Blake Edwards film “The Party,” with Peter Sellers, was the funniest…..

PART I:  The Origins of the Medical System Disaster

I have been independently paying for my own medical insurance since 1975 and I have a great memory.

The ‘narrative’ begins over 45 years ago when I spent 10 days at Lenox Hill Hospital on Park Avenue for a very major operation.  Just like most New Yorkers, my medical insurance was Blue Cross/Blue Shield which cost me far far less than $1,000 per year…..

In reference to the NYC Mayoralty Election in two weeks, I make the following plea:  In reference to the prior essay on this website, September 9, 2025: “NYC Mayor Curtis Sliwa???”

Not too many years from now, unless Curtis Sliwa is elected Mayor, NYC will further bifurcate its population between Common People who get exploited and permanently ‘screwed’ and the eternally ‘connected’ privileged and corrupt Ruling Class and their college-educated professional-class brown-noses.

Neighborhoods (especially in the Outer Boroughs) will all…..

If a Catholic Patriarch in Jerusalem has to be used to defame religious Jews in Judea and Samaria for the Anti-Semitic cause, here are a few questions that the ‘propagandist’ from the AP could have asked if they were behaving like a journalist.  (All of this mere hours after the official end of the HAMAS aggression.)  If there were one real journalist at the AP, these questions would constitute the mandatory context of the defamation.

What was the Catholic population…..

PART I: HISTORY

Real Science is fundamentally based on close observation, logical analysis and rigorous skeptical testing of the Hypothetical explanation of the natural world mystery.  (The Hypothesis may also be called a ‘Conjecture.’)  If it is not about the natural real world, it is useless.  If it actually explains the ‘mystery,’ it can be used to modify natural life in a RELIABLE manner.  Only then can you trust its legitimacy.

All Physics and Chemistry developed exactly that way starting…..

PART I

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), in his brilliant essays, made two profound points about the Meaning of Civilization.

A political setup that favors individual liberty, civility and democratic choice is the best that humanity can hope for (due to the selfish desires of individuals). However, only such a society, when constructed from the bottom up can survive – when built from the top down, it must fail due to social affiliations.

Therefore, all Tribal Affiliations precludes such an Open Free…..

Back in the 1950s and 1960s, when I was still in school, I repeatedly heard from teachers that it was impossible to immigrate to Australia with two exceptions.  If you came from an English-speaking country, you were probably welcomed as long as you were not demonstrably ‘undesirable.’

The other exception was fascinatingly, logically practical.  Certain ‘skilled trades’ necessary for modern life were in supply deficit.  Tailors and seamstresses had been so critically necessary; some of my teachers said there was…..

One morning, between Election Day November 2016 and Inauguration Day January 2017, I observed and even experienced strange behavior by an otherwise normal-appearing ‘checkout’ female clerk at a Trader Joe.  I had no idea how such intrusive political fanaticism would show up while I was purchasing exactly $17.32 worth of groceries in a common encounter.  (Obviously, prices were a whole lot cheaper at that time.)

At the time, I was in my early 70s and she looked to be 30…..
