As many of you may know, I am gradually becoming more and more atheistic in my beliefs. I still do not consider myself a true atheist due to the inability to prove that God does not exist, and if I said that she did not exist, I would be a hypocrite telling someone their wrong when they try to tell me she does. “So, What is turning you to the dark side,” one may ask. Well here would be my answer:

Early onset of depression causing
physical abnormalities within brain.

I find the discourse about attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder interesting and, unfortunately, saddening. What is not coming to light is the causation of ADD/ADHD. I too find it overly diagnosed and medicated, and without first looking into why we are seeing this marked increase of children with ADD/ADHD symptoms, we will continue to see this superficial, and disastrous, medical policy continue.

In my casual readings in Scientific American Mind and New Scientist (as well as many others), I have come across many clinical trials and neuroscientific research that postulates behavioral abnormalities, such as ADD/ADHD, to be a symptom/effect from a early onset of a psychological pathology, mainly depression. We forget how much our brains are shaped by not only genetics, and our external environment, but our internal environment as well.

My New Robot, Herm!

William’s Diary Entries

–William’s Diary Entry for Tuesday 23 June 2020
Grandma died last month and today Dad bought our first worker robot. The cost for the worker robot was Big Wow Bucks. For the down payment it took my Grandmother’s inheritance, loans from Aunt Gayte (Mom’s sister) and from our local bank, and, of course, all of my parents’ savings. Dad had me write a robot resume to find it a good paying job via the Internet. This first worker robot would now be my family’s breadwinner.

We need the jobs back!

Wall Street and the fat-cat bankers are coming up smelling like roses lately; the Fed Government has bought in for stock shares as the bankers’ new partners. How? With Zillions of taxpayers’ I.O.U. money that will have to come from new taxes or public programs cuts next year, even benefits cuts of vital state services like the police and firemen for many years down the line. Oh yeah, don’t forget the additional I.O.U. money needed for the next mega buyout to save the credit card tycoons. It’s coming.

I am always interested in different perspectives on what it means to be human, especially when they come from sources that are vastly different than your average Joe Sixpack. So, when I cam across a video of an autistic that makes an amazingly successful attempt at explaining what it is like to have autism, and how she views her life submerged in a sea of “normal” people, I was absolutely astounded. Here is an angle that I have never heard before, so I thought I would share this experience with all of you.

What do we do?

After the 700 billion plus dollars bailout of Wall Street and the banking community, what can we the people look forward to? Of course, the Feds aren’t calling their solution to their problem a bailout. They are using a surefire Madison Avenue, advertising ploy and calling the “Bailout” by different brand names in order to offset any public outcry. Let’s do a switch on a recent joke: You can put lipstick on the word, bailout, but it’s still a bailout. Moreover, this bailout may mushroom in the dollar amount because now the Fed is also considering a bailout of foreign banks who have “branches” in the U.S. Oh! Good Gawk!
