Vote Buying: Encouraging political news from the masses

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 478 , 17:40:27 | Category : Ethics Epistemology

The Asia Foundation has just released the results of a survey conducted in June - July this year, with what seems to me some very encouraging results for the growing political awareness and demands of the Thai people. The Nation has reported some findings in "Survey: Thailand heading in the wrong direction" (2009, September 17 at http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/09/17/politics/politics_....

The naughty king v. a Hero of the Information and Communication Age

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 844 , 08:36:37 | Category : Ethics Epistemology

Now that Admin. has graciously granted permission ( "ADMIN., is it permitted ?" ), it can be noted that amongst the christmas specials of the current edition of that excellent magazine The Economist, there is an article titled "A hero for the information age". The said article relates the noble attempts of William Tyndale to subvert the suppressions of the English King Henry of mo....

PAD lovely lying through her pretty teeth. Or just stupid?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 674 , 21:06:06 | Category : Logic Epistemology

An interesting snippet on the BBC video "Tourists stranded at Thai airport" at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7749426.stm At 22 seconds, a man is pointing out calmly the immense trouble that the PAD has caused to tens of thousands of people. He is addressing a very pretty and sweet looking PAD lovely (as peacefulness likes to call them). She replies, with obvious sincerity and conv....

Where are the Dead?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 867 , 20:22:03 | Category : Metaphysics Epistemology

Where are the dead? They are, as all the available evidence attests, nowhere. The dead are nowhere in the most literal way, which is to say, they don't exist. And yet belief in an after life is also a well known human trait across every culture. It is on the list of human universals compiled by Donald Brown that Steven Pinker includes in The Blank Slate, and any account that accomodates the seemingly....

The Puyai System is Disastrously Bad for Thailand

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 717 , 09:21:40 | Category : Logic Ethics Epistemology

Some, including the Nation in a particularly weak editorial, have recently suggested that Thailand does not need democracy because it has an excellent and functioning puyai system. There is certainly a connection between democracy in Thailand and the traditional puyai system, and unhappily, it's supporters are right when they observe that the puyai system is an alternative to democracy in Thailand. I....

The Truth about UFOs

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 1101 , 05:40:12 | Category : Epistemology

As fellow blogger Dalmasian noted in his comment 6, on "More Evil in Tibet", whilst agreeing that it is a good thing that we can freely discuss such things, "many people who supposedly witnessed sightings of UFOs are afraid of being ridiculed in public and have elected to keep their mouth shut." There is a very (very) simple reason for this: much of the speculation about UFOs is ....

True or False?People should drink at least eight glasses of water a day We use only 10% of our brains Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight They're all false or unproved.
