Tom's Blog on Life and Livingness

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled.
The UK just passed a 350+ page bill that gives the government unfettered, tyrannical powers.
The USA and Australia are undertaking similarly ill advised actions.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
If you do get that on which you put your attention, best we put our attention on what we want!
Human Rights Video #1: Born Free and Equal

I was very lucky that my mother taught me as a teenager that just because someone is in authority does not mean they are right.

Be prepared to look at all the data, rather than just that wich agrees with what you believe to be true or that which matches your exising data. Learning is not just acquiring new data, it is also correcting false data.

I may not agree withthe “climate crisis” but I do agree strongly with the need to preserve our forests and human rights!
If you do too, please join me in aksing that we keep our forests!
This is a great read written by a guy with a very sane viewpoint!
In an editorial published in The New England Journal of Medicine (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387), several doctors including Anthony Fauci indicate that the case fatality rate of COVID-19 virus may be similar to those seen in a severe seasonal influenza.
(Tom: One could very successfully argue that life is action and death is motionlessness. Two of the most active and alive people I know are my son’s two year old daughter and my daughter’s five year old son. As we age we can less easily move ourselves or tolerate motion in others. And then we die. So the curve of action closely aligns the the curve of life.
Currently we have been scared into physical distancing and inactivity (societal death) by false data – initial reports of a virus severity 50 times worse than it actually is.
Now that this has been exposed as a result of incorrect modeling, let’s call off the disastrous cautions that seemed appropriate and necessary at the time and get back to life! #BackToLife)
Let’s get this show back on the road!
Email your state and federal MP and tell them we want to get back to living!

In an increasingly digital world, literature is evolving. Sales of e-readers continue to rise, yet the cost of digital books and texts has not necessarily decreased to the extent to which many initially predicted. With authors’ incomes collapsing to near “abject” levels, and with public libraries under threat from swingeing public spending cuts, we felt honour bound to provide our fine readers with some valuable resources that could help save valuable money.
While we of course advocate supporting your local independent book store – and independent publishing houses – and would urge you to purchase copies of your books where you can afford to, below you can find a collection of 45 websites where you can download tens of thousands of books, plays and texts for free. Oh, and these sites are also all completely legal, of course!
I believe Edgar Allan Poe said it well: “Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.”

And it applies to the US and Oz media probably almost as much as it does in China.
The trouble with fully applying Edgar’s advice is that we cannot live long enough in one lifetime to learn from others’ experience all we need to know. The trick is to pick the right people to listen to.
The main stram media are not it, for sure. They are handed their stories to conform to the set agenda and anything not of that agenda is buried.
Voltaire said “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Well it would appear we are ruled by drug companies as medical professionals are not allowed to criticize their products!
The corollary to that is, “To find out who rules you, find who or what opposes what you are not allowed to promote.”
The recent suppression and invalidation of Vitamin C as a valid therapy for viral infections, despite lots of evidence of their efficacy in so doing, again points the finger at the drug companies. They would make no money from drugs and vaccines if people knew they could cure themselves sith sunshine and vitamin C.
