Always ask about that fancy new theory someone is dressing up as science:
  1. Could we test this?
  2. Are the individuals behind this theory updating their claims with new findings?
  3. Is this consistent with our broader scientific understanding of the world?

W. C. Fields quotes

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things. Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they alwa...

The AI "Industry"

Image
Let's start with the simplest/quickest of the three articles linked from here, explanations (from a particular POV) - what "AI" in the office can/could mean. We then move on to a rebuttal of the loud voices that "AI will doom us all", and then into some serious research about our future with these things we are calling "AI". Enjoy. AI Economics for Dummies by Andrew Singleton, June 11, 2026 4. Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000 percent productivity gain. The driverless mules cause plow damage to his property in excess of $50 million. Benjamin loses another $5 million due to the loss of productivity from his one remaining employee, who no longer guides a plow but instead spends 100 percent of his time shove...

5 Common Logical Fallacies and How to Spot Them

Image
I want to run through something important but often overlooked in our daily conversations, debates, and even our own thinking: logical fallacies . Understanding logical fallacies is like having a mental toolkit for spotting weak arguments, manipulation, and plain old fuzzy thinking. It's about sharpening your critical thinking skills and navigating the complex landscape of information and persuasion we encounter every day. In this "long read," we're going to break down five common logical fallacies (with another five in a follow-up post ), look at where they came from (or how they were identified), explore their potential downsides, and, most importantly, provide actionable strategies for spotting them and adjusting our own thinking. The Cheat Sheet Alright, here is the [tl;dr] "too long; didn't read and can't wait" version of all ten fallacies at a glance for those of us who need the shorthand to get back to the rugby or the...

Why Do Kiwis Want To Own A House

Image
Those that want to own a house have a deep inner desire to have a nest they believe is their own, a castle if you will :) And those that don't want to own bricks and mortar (me, of course) will merely nod their heads and agree before moving on with their day-to-day life. An old friend of mine said it's all about, "intergenerational wealth". I'm ok with that, if it actually generates wealth but I don't know if it does. There's $10 in New Zealand A dollar is used to create 5 houses, 5 Kiwis live in them.  A house sells for $2 A new house is then bought for $3 [keep going ...] END:  There is still only $10 in NZ Houses are now worth $10 and only 2 people can afford it There is still only $10 in NZ Whilst people may be making money the country as a whole is not, it's a circular economy. Where is the money coming from to sustain this? Of course businesses need money to start, invest, and grow ...but if all the money is used to "create" individual ...

"AI" Creations Over The Years

Image
Using Google AI (now called Gemini) I have been saving images every now again that match the following, "Create an image …" of a sunrise over a sand dune with a camel of a Foggy London scene of horse for a day with a calendar showing the day representing "so satisfying" to represent popular music from the 1950s to the 1980s of a NZ 9 year old school boy with a head made of butter Interestingly the final prompt now replies with, "I can create images for you, but not ones that depict minors like that. Can I help with a different image instead? " I also try: Make a landscape ratio poster of the following phrase, "If you want to destroy a nation, destroy the thinking of it's youth - [unknown source*]" Alright, let's get into it, with the latest versions first. a sunrise over a sand dune with a camel August 2026 April 2026 December 2025     April 2024 a Foggy London scene August 2026 April 2026 April 2024 March 2024 March 2024 horse for a day...

Wellywood Sign, Meh, Time To Get The Pillars of Argonath [Updated]

Image
Today it was announced ( Stuff: A sign of success for Wellywood hills ) that there will be a "Wellywood" sign on the side of a hill into Wellington Airport sometime in June - here's what the Stuff.co.nz artists think it might look like: picture from Stuff.co.nz Whilst I think that's an okay idea I still believe that Duncan's idea from way back in March 2008 is much better - either side of the Miramar Cutting have the Pillars of Argonath! This what they look like from the films (made in Miramar, of course). And this is what the Miramar Cutting looks like from Google Streetview : See, perfect place to have them! It's just before the landing/take-off from Wellington International Airport and so would be seen by thousands of people. Awesome idea eh! And one that is supported far and wide ... ish Update - and this is a mashup between the two photos from MrReasonable : BTW: I'm not actively pursuing this idea, I'm not really thinking it's gonna happ...

The Grounds For Voting Green

Image
[UPDATE: 20th Aug 2026]:  10 More Grounds For Voting Green I'm a Greens NZ voter, have been for quite a long time. I like their people, policies, and process. I have voted for other parties, sometimes for a very specific policy, and even once because I really liked the person which, according to most political pundits, is actually how most people vote - people they recognise and know wearing the colours they associate with. On some social media thingy (Mastodon via CloudIslandNZ I think), I read the following article and it got me thinking, what is it about the Green NZ policies that everyday New Zealanders would / should / could think about. Just saying, "Vote Green", for most people is a big turn off as it, well, it just doesn't ask that glorious question , why? The case for voting Green I’m not a member of the Green Party, but they're getting my vote. Here’s why. by Simon Wilson, Jun 27, 2026 THE GREENS HAVE two core messages. They’re both simple enough ...
