About this site

This site was created on Jan. 17, 1991

Elle had two fawns this spring. She is part of a herd of wild deer that live on our land. They know us now and let us get to within a few feet before slowly moving off. Anyway, this site was initially just some text files on the campus network long before there was an Internet.  It now runs on a remote BSD system at a friend's server farm in another country. The site has  always been blissfully free of Microsoft and similar  "products". All items on this site are steganographically marked.

Currently I am exploring the general area of Cha'an and martial arts (mind/body integration and all that stuff). My advanced degrees are in mathematics and computer science (set theory applied to decomposition threading), biophysics (temporal processing), and history (dogma propagation). However, after the dissertation for my second doctorate was accepted, I found my interests no longer fulfilled in the stilted and stultifying world of academia or the vainglorious counterfeits of modern society. So I donned dark sunglasses and moved to the coast to enjoy the far more pelagian world of sailing the coastal oceans

Sadly over the years anti-intellectualism has become both normative and virulent throughout much of society. Fact based dialogue is eschewed for a diatribe of blind opinion. Those who speak with vocabulary, knowledge, education, or interests beyond those of a ten year old are ridiculed or worse. It is regrettable that research on critical theory, deep learning, or the writings of Bourdeau, Ellul, Penrose, Foucault, Spencer-Brown, Burke, Parenti, Calvin, Barnes, Perelman, Russell, Gladwell, Abel, Williams, Grothendieck, and others who have contributed so much are seldom known or read by the majority. The Malthusian limit for humanity was passed some decades ago. Jacobs’ well known research concluded that we are witnessing the rise of a new dark age, with a corresponding intellectual, moral, and knowledge devolution. Given the doxa dominant in society, this may indeed be the case as humanity plummets toward self-immolation. All the while complacently acquiescing to corporate wars of genocide, corresponding rape of the planet, burgeoning fascism in former democracies, and the rise of tautological spirituality

The quotation at the top of each page on this site is in the Vanyarin Quenya language.
This is the native tongue spoken by the aboriginal peoples of the high mountains
where I regularly ride my trike. It reads "Faster, Faster, ride towards the Light!"
