Religion, the vagueness of consciousness and seeing things when you're blind.
Ian has been reading. Dangerous, but sometimes it can't be helped. So we have a chat. First about religion and belief and then about consciousness and awareness.
First up - Tanya Luhrmann's take on religion in her book How God Becomes Real. I met her when I chaired last year's Holberg debate. Her take is that to simply say, 'people who believe in a god are mistaken or stupid' does nothing to help undertand why people believe, nor why many of them say it helps them to believe . She wants to understand religious belief not dismiss it. I'm not a believer but I found her work to be insightful and fascinating. Her point is that "...the puzzle or religion is not the problem of false belief, but the question of how gods and spirits become and remain real to people and what this real-making does for humans."
Next we look briefly at 'Vagueness and the Evolution of Consciousness' by Michael Tye. It's slim little book but don't let that fool you. It might look like a puddle but in fact it's a well. One of those rare science/philsophy books where an academic deep-thinker says, 'I have been wrong all these years and here's why.' Basically he began as a staunch supporter of the view that consciousness comes from witing togeher ordinary non-conscious stuff in a clever way. He now thinks this is unworkable and shows why. Leaving him to join the growing number of pan(proto)psychist people who think consciousness has to be a fundamental property of matter.
And this leads us to a discussion about how there can be a difference between what your mind/brain can 'know' and what you become 'consiously' aware of. It's a fact that your mind registers, and sometimes even 'knows', a whole lot more than you do. We are all in some respects the Ronald Reagans of our own brain - just the fellow who gets handed the memos and reads them out for the public. He takes the credit but does none of the work.
I jest but blind sight experiements among many others show how the brain/mind contains far more than we are consiouesly aware of. Which raises questions about the self and its role.

Latest - Bird Flu, Cows, Chicken Feed and Covid
Did Bird Flu get into America's cattle because they were being fed infected chicken feed? And the offical covid narrative continues to unravel.
Should we be worried? Sadly yes and on two counts. First bird flu in cattle means it now has hunderds of millions more carriers in which to mutate and pick up what it needs to infect us. And second, could this latest jump be less to do with wild birds and more to do with feeding infected chicken-feed to cattle? Did the agro-industry learn nothing from BSE ?
And lastly the official covid narrative continues to unravel. Daszak gets thrown under the bus and no one cries.

International Law! What is it good for!? Absolutely....?
In the week Donald Trump was found guilty in a court of law, we ask do nations really care a damn about the law? Or is it as Benito Mussolini remarked about an earlier attempt at international law, The League of Nations, "the league is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out"

Ukraine - A mad and bad dictator invaded! But is that really all there is to say?

Clips from a documentary called Fail Safe

The film was made by the US Department of Defence and the Rand Corporation which was THE cold war think tank. The speaker is Paul H. Nitze - Representative of the Secretary of Defence to SALT.
The other is from a fictional film called Count down to Looking Glass released in 1984. The clip is from a 'presidential address'.
