    The infinite universe could never be picked up by the God squad, because for them the universe has to be a created, finite thing. Only their God is infinite.

    As to “simulation”, what a load of crap spawned by The Matrix crowd, who are conspiraloons.

    Also, we need to stop calling the loons conspiracy “theorists. ” They are not theorists. They cannot sit at table with thinkers.

    I don’t worry about them. But being aware of what is known can help to refute theists and bible-maniacs, who would retort: “So, by the Big Bang, you admit there was a beginning!”

    I always saw the Big Bang theory as another version of creation and inability to accept infinity.

    Remember the hullabaloo over the white golliwogs in “Loot”?

    No. Imagine the patriotic idiots demonstrating if the PCers were really bold and had Churchill played by a black actor. Or, better still, make Churchill not only black, but a woman too. Winnie.

    Except that film blockbusters and sensational TV fictions are the majority’s only historical references, and those questioning the fictions in some cases are labelled “racist” or else.

    The Youtuber here makes a good point, that historically real African protagonists are ignored in favour of making a Greek queen black: and in fact continuing thereby to keep the field of historical reference Eurocentric.

    A recently advertised fiction which has every second English 18th century aristocrat played by a black actor/actress would be fun as satire, but that is not the intent. It too is a slap in the face of the real Africans in their millions who were enslaved and transported for over three centuries.

    The PCers wouldn’t dare, themselves, to give us a black Winston Churchill, although THAT I would enjoy!

    Well that’s something. It is very sad, in fact, to think of children in concrete landscapes sat in front of computers and glued, already, to mobile phones and digital games.

    Those with deprived backgrounds, i understand, never enjoyed the happy childhood i did, so won’t have any affection for their childhood years. But i myself cannot imagine today’s childhoods, without books and toys galore, and things real, not virtual.

    Often i think i’m the only one here with William Morris’ passion for things: for that which was beautiful about the past, even if life was often sordid (it still is that!); for artefacts, artisanry, books, tapestries. Wasn’t his dream that everyone should enjoy such things and not just a few; not that they should disappear and be mere memories for a few sentimentalists, and that all of us should become lumpen automata?

    It isn’t young people i am blaming. It’s what is being done to them by the producers of junior dictionaries and other internet-obsessed and newspeak-obsessed pundits.

    Couldn’t a US Trumpite indifference toward NATO result in a free-for-all on both sides: both Russia and the gung-ho Baltics?
