August 25 2025 By coincidence I also came across this video, relevant to the morning's mood. A humorous song entitled 'I Can't Wait for the apocalypse' Put the two together and you have the catalyst for what follows: We have descended a long way from the supposed idyllic existence in the Garden of Eden, which, although it happened a long time ago, has considerable power of symbolism. When you...

Why Critical Thinking Is Disappearing – The Rise of Collective Stupidity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIO4IDMnBDU&t=680s This is a real blinder for me. It is why I value what are alas occasional conversations with someone who really listens to what I have to say and vice versa, where we actually move forward in our understanding.

I was sent this by a friend on Reels. I wish I could send the original link but exporting from WhatsApp is a pain so I have transcribed it instead. I feel it's one of these things that really should be considered by every sentient being including those who have a faith but also those who have no faith in other words, everybody. Ed.
