admin wrote a new blog post: Rot at the heart of the system An open letter: Dear Sir/Madam, It may have escaped your notice, as it had mine, that when the British government throws its influence into defending "The City of London", they are actually defending a quasi-autonomous/autonomous offshore tax haven which happens to be geographically situated in the heart of London. The "City of London" has its [...]

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:27:09 +0000

admin wrote a new blog post: Flexible Meritocratic Education Talents should be encouraged, and given room to grow - but how to achieve this in a fair way given the different strengths people (children and adults) have?

admin wrote a new blog post: Pro Nuclear vs Pro Renewable A quick note : The main arguments in the UK Press/public for nuclear and against renewable : 1) It can't be done because wind/solar are sporadic resources 2) Nuclear is safe and the only option to reduce dependency on coal / oil 3) Basing on renewables means that the poor people of the world will [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: The Game Is Rigged 1% of the U.S. population now own 40% of its wealth. It is worse in the U.K. The point comes where the intelligent, motivated by greed to join the elite and life of luxury, realise they cannot because they are not allowed. Eventually, they realise that those who are privileged are not inherently better people [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Story telling As a kid (four or five, I can't remember clearly enough, although I can remember exactly where I was standing and what I was thinking about) I can clearly recall wondering whether it was necessary to hold onto the reasoning behind a conclusion, or whether is was only the conclusion that matters. I foolishly decided [...]

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:23:29 +0000

admin wrote a new blog post: How Grants turn to Fees, and what it really means Over twenty years, university education has been opened up from a meritocracy (where a small percentage of the most intelligent young people who score highest in nation-wide testing have their education funded in the long term interests of the country) to an unsustainable approach where the majority of those who leave college with any grade [...]

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:01:53 +0000

admin wrote a new blog post: Why Street View is a dangerous invasion of privacy I just realised one very good reason why it's not such a good idea.

admin wrote a new blog post: The Perils of Nuclear Power An interesting post from the Guardian.co.uk : http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/apr/11/nuclear-apologists-radiation Soon after the Fukushima accident last month , I stated publicly that a nuclear event of this size and catastrophic potential could present a medical problem of very large dimensions. Events have proven this observation to be true despite the nuclear industry's campaign about the "minimal" health effects of so-called [...]
