Jordan Peterson has been in the news recently because his university dictated that he had to address people in a gender specific way. (I may well have that wrong!) Basically he took it as being against his right to free speech... I've been watching a few of his videos, I'm not exactly sure...

Jordan Peterson On Importance Of Reading I'm going to be watching a lot of "Jordan P Peterson" stuff for the next few days! Here is his YouTube channel if you want to tag along! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL_f53ZEJxp8TtlOkHwMV9Q

I understand that Ray met Stevie Wonder on a flight and they got discussing things. I'm not sure if this meeting is what led to the development of the synthesizer, I think the meeting was after the synthesizer and that it led to Ray's development of technology to read printed text (OCR). I don't...

The actual soap is called "Hollyoaks" and I nicknamed it "jolly blokes" because there's always appears, to me anyway, scenes with guys kissing each other, a bit like this YouTube clip:- #DontFilterFeelings: Scott's Story Note to self:- Be careful how I conduct myself during the "festive...

I just found this excellent video of Stephen Fry discussing exactly this issue! Best Argument Ever Against Political Correctness by Stephen Fry

Hi Ann, I'm glad you made it here! Ann wrote a brilliant book "A Savage Art" which I've read. We originally met as it were online, on a precursor to Facebook/LinkedIn called "Ecademy" a business orientated networking site where everyone used their real name, which was quite unusual at the time...

I know that Ray kurzweil would like to live forever. I also know he has a relationship with a business that sells supplements, although supplements is probably the wrong description. (I think that's the right website) ... Notice the cost of the supplements, this is usually an indicator (to me)...

LOL!

Well, I don't know what to say except Thank you both! And I'm very pleased I posted it. I was dubious, not 100% sure how to say how I felt, realising it could be interpreted in many different ways.

There's a television soap that I have nicknamed "Jolly Blokes"... One of my wife's favourite soaps, and that's how I am aware of it. I often find myself becoming interested just because I'm sat in the same room. It's a bit like I'm witnessing a conversation between two friends and I...

Your 1% improvement reminded me of a business strategy. If you improve a particular area of your business by a significant amount, it is obviously a good thing to do, however it's also obvious to your competitors. However if you make 1% improvements across many areas of your business then you...

I don't think people have changed or will change. To me, political correctness is just another way for somebody to make themselves right, better than, somebody else. And in the extreme it's a sort of bullying.

I have been helping a charity out with Microsoft Dynamics 365, which on the face of it looks like a reasonable attempt from Microsoft to get something similar to MS Access onto the internet. I'm a complete beginner at Dynamics 365. The Charity have a good man on site, but he's overloaded with...

I get regular emails about cutting Edge science and I recall receiving one the other day about an unknown organizing principle. As a layman explaining it in layman's terms, I'm in danger of getting it wrong! However it appears that superconducting metals exhibit a strange property which...

There's some strange things going around...

Here's a clip of Peter Ustinov talking about one of his Sergeants, who didn't have any teeth and hence, liked eating cake!

No, I don't know her, but I have exchanged a couple of messages with her over the years. She has a wonderful website called "Excel at Life" where you can download many different guided meditation type tapes (MP3) which she has created herself. So I sort of know her voice through listening to...

Nice article from Monica on mental health:- People with Mental Illness are Essential to Our World

I think the video is brilliant. I haven't checked the guys credentials yet, however I'm sure you wouldn't have posted it without doing that first. Incidentally, the only reason I mention this is that I recently saw another video where some guy proclaimed that global warming was caused by the...
