Today's Readings

...wonderful...

Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7 - The Fall

Psalms 51:3-6, 12-13, 17 Miserere Mei

Romans 5:12-19 Sin through Adam, Grace through Christ

GOSPEL Matthew 4:1-11 Temptation in the Desert

Here are some thoughts on the liturgy of the Word today...hinging on Meister Eckhart.

First Reading - The Fall of Man:

Eckhart commented extensively on Genesis 1–3, viewing it philosophically and mystically. He saw Adam and Eve's story not primarily as historical guilt but as illustrating the soul's turn from divine unity to multiplicity and attachment. The "knowledge of good and evil" represents the fall into dualistic thinking, separating self from God, clinging to creatures instead of resting in divine being.

The serpent's temptation symbolizes the pull toward self-will and possession, leading to a false "nothingness" apart from God (creatures are "pure nothings" without Him). Yet Eckhart often reframed the Fall as part of a necessary journey: detachment reverses it, allowing the soul to return to its uncreated ground where God births the Son eternally in us. Sin arises from attachment; Grace restores unity.

He didn't dwell on inherited guilt in a juridical sense but on how the soul's refusal of God creates illusion. The "breath of life" (Genesis 2:7) points to the divine spark in the soul, untouched by the Fall, where God and soul are one.

Psalms 51:3-6, 12-13, 17 Miserere Mei

1 Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.

Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness: according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

2 Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.

Wash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

3 Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.

5 Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.

Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

6 Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.

But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.

7 Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.

Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

Turn thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds.

10 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.

Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy Spirit from me.

12 Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.

O give me the comfort of thy help again: and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

13 Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.

Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae, et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.

15 Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew thy praise.

16 Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis.

For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.

17 Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

18 Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut aedificentur muri Jerusalem.

O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.

Second Reading - Sin through Adam, Grace through Christ:

Eckhart engaged Saint Paul's' contrasts of Adam/Christ indirectly through Grace, sin, and divine birth. He stressed Grace as God's self-gift, making the soul "like God" and buoyant toward divine works. Sin (from Adam) is a "death of Grace," a weakening that separates us from God's flow.

But Grace abounds more: Christ restores what Adam lost, not by erasing sin's effects externally but by birthing divine life in the soul.

Eckhart saw this as ontological. Grace isn't added reward but union with God's being. The soul, detached, receives this superabundant Grace, overcoming sin's "reign" in death.

GOSPEL Matthew 4:1-11 Temptation in the Desert

Eckhart didn't have a dedicated sermon on this passage, but it fits his mysticism perfectly.

Overall, Eckhart would likely read these readings as one arc: the Fall shows attachment's illusion; the psalm cries for inner renewal; Romans contrasts death-dealing separation with life-giving union in Christ; and the Gospel shows detachment's triumph in the desert. The goal? Not moral perfection alone, but sinking into the soul's ground where God and soul are one, beyond sin's shadow, in Grace's light.

SATURDAY MORNING! - Breathing again!

Time for Big Zoom Call I suppose..

I am back to matters of the day and more routine concerns. My office needs some tender loving and care. YIKES!

Back to Work.

I was working of a serious project and was delayed by obligations to the Supreme Courts. Now that those matters are dealt with.

Here is a cool thing

First Speculum / Anal Retractor

The Sun King’s Anal Fistula: A 17th-Century First-in-Human Trial (With Zero IRB Approval)

Versailles, 1686. Louis XIV, absolute monarch, gourmet, and serial womanizer, develops a perianal abscess that fistulizes into a classic fistula-in-ano. Painful, foul, and frankly undignified for a guy who invented ballet.

Enter Félix de Tassy, royal barber-surgeon (because razors are basically scalpels with better marketing).

After seventy-five practice patients, mostly coerced peasants, he unveils his prototype: a three-pronged iron retractor, expandable like a medieval speculum on steroids; a sickle-shaped, razor-sharp scalpel with a probing tip, perfect for blind fistulotomy; and gold-thread sutures, because why not add bling to infection control.

No anesthesia, no antibiotics, just hot irons, a stiff drink, and Louis lying there like it was Tuesday. He took it like a champ. Necrotic tissue dulls pain, wine dulls everything else.

Procedure:

probe, lay open, drain, close. Months of bedrest, zero recurrence.

He ruled another thirty years.

Modern take: a lay-open fistulotomy with custom perineal retractor. We’d add sedation, sterile fields, and maybe a robot. Back then? Just innovation via trial-by-fire, seventy-five failures, one success.

Moral: Even kings need guinea pigs. And sometimes the best devices come from barbers who hate losing patients.

The documentation sub-team is working like animals preparing our response brief. This time around we are dealing a myriad of ghost issues and goblins. We have our collective heads around this. We will likely button it up tonight.

Many thanks to the team for the full robust and complete assessments.

There is No Greater Gift - John 15:13

There is no greater gift than to lay down one's life for a friend. Sometimes it is literal. It is my actual life that I lay down. So laid it is.

Here is the lesson: God Himself allowed Himself to be stripped naked, beaten, humiliated, nailed to a cross, left alone, and to die as an innocent, in the flesh.

Father Nathanael told me how far to go to save a soul. All the way to hell he said. Hell is deep and lonely and no friends are there. Be ready to take Nathaneal's walk with Virgil.

Saint Valentines Day

The Man: Saint Valentine of Rome

Saint Valentine, whom we venerate as a priest and martyr of the early Church, lived in the third century during the turbulent reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius II (around AD 226 to 269 ish, though precise dates vary in the ancient records). He was a Roman citizen, likely a presbyter or priest in the city of Rome itself, at a time when Christianity was still persecuted under imperial edicts. The Acta Sanctorum and other early martyrologies portray him as a man of deep piety, compassionate toward the afflicted, and fearless in his ministry.

In the Thomistic spirit, we must distinguish between legend and historical kernel: while some accounts embellish with romantic flourishes, the core truth aligns with the Church's memory. Valentine was known for his healing gifts, perhaps through prayer and the laying on of hands, and his commitment to the sacraments. He served the Christian community clandestinely, administering baptisms, the Eucharist, and notably the sacrament of matrimony. This was no small act in an era when emperors sought to suppress the faith.

The Story That Made Him Famous: Martyrdom and the Seeds of Love

The narrative that elevates Saint Valentine to enduring fame centers on his defiance of imperial tyranny in the name of Christian love. Emperor Claudius II, seeking to bolster his armies, reportedly forbade young men from marrying, believing that single soldiers fought with greater ferocity unencumbered by family ties. Valentine, however, continued to unite Christian couples in holy wedlock, viewing marriage as a sacred vocation ordained by God, a reflection of Christ's union with His Church (as Saint Paul teaches in Ephesians 5:25 to 32). This act of pastoral charity was an affront to the state, leading to his arrest.

While imprisoned, Valentine's compassion shone forth. Tradition holds that he befriended his jailer, Asterius, and through prayer restored sight to the jailer's blind daughter, Julia. This miracle led to the conversion of the jailer's household. On the eve of his execution, beheaded on February 14 around AD 269, Valentine is said to have sent a farewell note to Julia, signed "from your Valentine." Here, in this simple gesture, we glimpse the Franciscan heart: a love that is personal, sacrificial, and directed toward the vulnerable, much like Saint Francis's embrace of the leper.

In Aquinas's terms, this martyrdom exemplifies charity as the highest virtue (Summa Theologica II-II, q. 23), uniting the will to God and neighbor even unto death. Valentine's story, though interwoven with later medieval accretions, underscores the early Church's emphasis on love as agape, self-giving, not merely eros or romantic affection.

How This Is Brought Forward to Today

The legacy of Saint Valentine has evolved through the centuries, much like a vine tended by the Church and culture alike. By the fifth century, Pope Gelasius I established February 14 as his feast day in the Roman calendar, supplanting pagan festivals like Lupercalia, a mid-February rite of fertility and purification. This Christianization reflects the Church's wisdom in baptizing what is good in human customs, directing them toward Christ.

In the Middle Ages, Geoffrey Chaucer and other poets linked Valentine's feast with courtly love and the pairing of birds in spring (as in "The Parliament of Fowls"), transforming it into a day for romantic expressions. By the 18th and 19th centuries, the exchange of "valentines," cards, flowers, and tokens, became widespread, influenced by commercial interests yet rooted in that original note of affection.

The Earliest Known Valentine

The earliest known "valentine" in the romantic sense is generally considered the poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orléans, to his wife while imprisoned in the Tower of London. He repeatedly used "Valentine" as a term of endearment. The manuscript survives in the British Library, though images of the actual page are available in historical archives (it's a medieval manuscript rather than a modern card).

Today, Valentine's Day is a global celebration of love in its many forms: romantic, familial, and platonic. Yet, as a Thomist, I urge discernment. True love is not fleeting sentiment but a rational choice for the good of the other, ordered to God. In our secular age, it often drifts into consumerism, but the Church invites us to reclaim it as a reminder of divine love. Parishes may hold blessings for couples, or acts of charity for the lonely, echoing Valentine's ministry. With a Franciscan touch, we might extend kindness to the poor or forgotten, for "God is love" (1 John 4:8), and every heart yearns for it.

The Feast Day Itself and When It Occurs

The liturgical feast of Saint Valentine falls on February 14 each year, as inscribed in the Roman Martyrology. In the current General Roman Calendar (post-Vatican II), it is an optional memorial, sharing the date with Saints Cyril and Methodius in some regions, but Valentine's veneration persists strongly in popular piety. The day typically includes Mass with readings on love and martyrdom (perhaps from 1 Corinthians 13 or the Gospel of John 15:13, "No greater love than to lay down one's life"). Devotions might involve prayers for intercession in matters of the heart, healing, or epilepsy (as Valentine is a patron against it, per ancient lore).

In this season of late winter, the feast heralds the approach of Lent, reminding us that true love involves sacrifice. As Dominicans, we might contemplate it intellectually through sermons or writings; as Franciscans at heart, we live it in joyful service.

May Saint Valentine pray for you, dear friend, that your heart may know the boundless love of Christ.

Go All the Way to Hell.

I attended a men's meeting and it was a beautiful, unexpected event. Andrew Parker talked about the Magnanimity of the Bishop in Les Miserables. Later I asked Fr Nathanael how far does one go to save a soul? He answered: "Saint Catherine said that you go all the way to hell."

So why not go all the way to hell....to rescue a soul?

There is the risk that you get trapped in their hell.

You have to be capable, prepared, with a realistic plan, and you must pray constantly.

Attended Supreme Court of NS today with Justice Denise Boudreau.

Justice Boudreau handed INSI 3 victories today after a month of wrangling the record to the top of the priority list. Everyone was there in court in the flesh or virtually via video conferencing. The Motion before the court was one to reschedule the matter entirely.

Justice Boudreau ruled that the hearing for the Motion to Dismiss, moved by AGNS, is set off indefinitely. She also ruled that the Motion to Amend the Notice of Judicial Review re 29A was set off indefinitely.

Justice Boudreau then affirmed in the existing schedule that INSI will provide a reply and perfected brief to the court on Feb 20, and the AGNS will reply to the the Motion for Increased Sufficiency of the Record by Monday Feb 9th.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

It means that there will be no other court business until the record is sufficient for the Justice to make a Ruling on the record itself. That record will include testimony of the people involved in the conflict to prevent the candidates from being on the ballot. It will include very much more.

These actions in the court today left us very happy.

Seraphim is Grace

Seraphim and Grace are one in the same.

Seraphim = burning ones = burning love = divine charity = uncreated grace in its purifying, uniting intensity.

Eckhart would affirm that the fire of the seraphim is the same fire of grace that touches the soul and makes it "one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love" with God.

In the Eckhartian POV, consider Isaiah 6:1-8. Isaiah's encounter with the seraphim. I postulate that no seraph descends with tongs or coal; the altar is the ground, the coal is God's own gaze touching the soul's gaze. In that touch, unmediated, unsequential, the guilt is not taken away but revealed as never having been. The lips are not purged; the soul is the purge, burning with the same fire that is seraphim, that is Grace, that is God.

I read sermon 52 by Meister Eckhart tonight.. it is about 4 pages long.

Grace never arrives, it just remembers.

Grace is yes, it is itself.

Working on an Intricate Set of Problems

1) INSI just received notice from the AGNS that they agreed that obtaining the Sufficiency of the Record of the 2024 SNAP Election takes priority over all other matters related to the JR PtH No. 538503. I make occasional reference to this effort in this blog because it occupies time that I would rather use doing other things. It is important and it seems that our team of good people is in good shape and managed to claw through all the expected effort from ENS and the AGNS to stall, block and confuse progress. We are in court on Feb 6, for dates and directions regarding the motion for increased Sufficiency of the Record. That is, a Motion before the Justice to generate as much record as possible so that it is sufficient for the Justice to properly assess what happened to the mistreated candidates. ENS has informed us all that we are not going to get any more record if they have anything to do with it. Well...that is why we are before a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. It will be he who makes the decision.

2) I am working on a patent for a project that I cannot discuss and I only mention it because it is very time consuming and difficult. It requires my complete attention and more talent than I actually possess. I am nearly complete.

3) I am wrapping up an intensely serious matter of profound significance. There are deeply profound moral implications and serious tentacles that are beyond the understanding of most people in my immediate orbit. Again, I am acting in the interest of people that I love and those very people may be utterly confused by my mysterious silence and seeming non-sequitur behavior. All in due time.

4)I am working on another project that is much the same as 2, and 3 and it is just as nuanced, and difficult.

5)If that wasn't enough, I am working on a 5th, 6th, and 7th projects. These I classify as embryonic and need some noodling over.

All of these things are worth the pains of concealment and soon it will be all a matter of public record.

Quantum Consciousness and Catholic Faith: A Way Forward

Exploring Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) through a Catholic lens

I struggle with letting multiple concepts of reality coexist in my mind, where they end up waging a war inside my head. Yet the war of ideas is ultimately resolved through the Resurrection. We inhabit this wondrous physical world, tethered to the invisible, and I love pondering that mystery. So here I reach out to good people who know far more than I do, asking for help to clarify what I think I understand and to ease the tension that has inevitably built up as modern physics and biology continue to merge with one another and with the realm of faith. This is my attempt to find a solid starting point.

E. Michael Jones, known for his trenchant critiques of modern culture and scientism, would likely approach Stuart Hameroff's Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory with a mix of skepticism and selective approval. I begged Dr Jones to chime in on this subject. Jones has consistently argued against reductionist explanations that diminish the human soul to mere material processes, viewing them as extensions of Enlightenment rationalism that erode the Catholic understanding of man as a composite of body and immortal soul. In his writings, such as those on the logos of creation, Jones emphasizes that true order stems from divine reason, not from mechanistic or evolutionary paradigms that exclude God.

Hameroff's theory, which posits consciousness arising from quantum computations in neuronal microtubules, might strike Jones as another attempt to naturalize the supernatural. He could criticize it for implying that the soul, or at least its operations, emerges from physical quantum events rather than being directly infused by God at conception, as Catholic doctrine teaches. This reduction could be seen as scandalous, bordering on heresy, by conflating the immaterial soul with material quantum information, thus undermining the Thomistic distinction between essence and existence. Jones might point out that such theories distract from the redemptive sacrifice of Christ on the cross, where the eternal soul finds its true meaning through crucifixion and resurrection, not through scientific speculation.

Jones might further argue that Hameroff's extensions, such as the idea of a quantum soul persisting after death through non-local entanglement, veer into New Age territory. This resembles pantheism, where consciousness permeates the cosmos without a personal Creator, a notion Jones has lambasted in his analyses of modern ideologies. For instance, in critiquing secular psychology or evolutionary biology, Jones often points to how such theories serve anti-Catholic agendas by promoting hedonism or relativism. Hameroff's reliance on psychedelics as evidence for accelerated quantum effects could provoke Jones to decry it as opening doors to occult practices, which the Church condemns as superstitious or demonic.

Moreover, the theory's panpsychist leanings, suggesting proto-consciousness in the early universe, might be viewed as a subtle form of gnosticism, elevating scientific speculation over revealed truth. Jones could posit that this distracts from the deposit of faith, the unchanging body of doctrine entrusted to the Church, by tempting believers to seek explanations in physics rather than in Scripture and Tradition, where the Holy Spirit persists as the guide to truth and the healer of souls wounded by sin.

A Conciliatory Jesuit Perspective

Yet, Jesuit perspectives on quantum mechanics offer a more conciliatory framework, one that could temper Jones's criticisms while allowing partial embrace of Hameroff's ideas. Jesuits, through institutions like the Vatican Observatory, have long engaged science-theology dialogue, viewing quantum indeterminacy as harmonious with Catholic thought. Thinkers such as George Coyne or William Stoeger have argued that quantum uncertainty provides ontological openness in the universe, allowing for divine providence without violating natural laws.

This Jesuit working theory posits that God acts through secondary causes, including probabilistic quantum events, to sustain creation. In this light, Hameroff's microtubules could be seen as a potential mechanism for how the immaterial soul interfaces with the body, without reducing the soul to those processes. The theory's challenge to classical computational models of the mind aligns with Jesuit emphasis on human freedom, as quantum superposition introduces genuine indeterminacy that classical determinism lacks. This resonates with the Catholic view of free will, essential for moral responsibility and salvation, and reflects the redemptive work of Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross frees humanity from the bondage of sin and opens the way for the Holy Spirit to dwell within.

Key Exceptions and Boundaries

Partially embracing Hameroff thus becomes feasible by noting key exceptions. One must affirm that consciousness's quantum aspects describe only the biological substrate, not the soul itself. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the soul is spiritual and immortal, created immediately by God, not produced by parents or emergent from matter. Hameroff's quantum information might explain how the soul informs the body, akin to how Thomists describe the soul as the form animating matter, but it cannot account for the soul's subsistence after death, which requires divine sustenance through the merits of Christ's redemption.

Exceptions include rejecting any implication that consciousness predates life in a way that makes the universe self-conscious, as this encroaches on God's unique aseity. Instead, quantum proto-events could be interpreted as reflections of divine logos ordering creation from the beginning, as in Genesis, and pointing toward the incarnation where the flesh of Jesus unites divinity and humanity.

To isolate scandal or heresy, Catholics must delineate boundaries. Scandal arises when scientific theories are presented as alternatives to faith, leading the faithful astray from the reality of Christ's crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Heresy, such as materialism or pantheism, denies defined dogmas like the soul's immortality or God's transcendence. A vigilant approach involves subjecting Hameroff's claims to philosophical scrutiny, using Aquinas's principles to affirm that while quantum mechanics reveals the intricacy of God's design, it cannot encompass metaphysical realities.

For example, near-death experiences, which Hameroff links to quantum persistence, should be evaluated through Church-approved mysticism, like the visions of saints, or through the healing sacraments that invoke the Holy Spirit's power, rather than solely through science. This prevents the theory from fostering syncretism, blending Catholic truth with speculative naturalism, and keeps focus on the Eucharist, where the flesh of Jesus nourishes the soul.

A Path Forward in Faith

Positing a way forward compatible with the deposit of faith requires integrating Hameroff's insights into a broader Catholic anthropology without compromising core tenets. One path is through interdisciplinary dialogue, as encouraged by Pope John Paul II in Fides et Ratio, where faith and reason illuminate each other, always grounded in the redemptive mystery of Christ's passion.

Catholic neuroscientists or philosophers could explore microtubules as instrumental causes in cognition, much like how the brain's plasticity supports virtue formation without determining it. This maintains hylomorphic unity: the soul as substantial form actualizing the body's potentials, with quantum processes providing the physical dynamism for conscious acts, all under the influence of the persistent Holy Spirit.

A practical framework might involve Catholic universities sponsoring research that tests Orch-OR against Thomistic criteria. For instance, if experiments confirm quantum coherence in the brain, this could bolster arguments against abortion by highlighting the integrated complexity of human life from conception, where soul and body unite through God's creative act. Ethically, it could inform bioethics on consciousness in comatose patients or AI, affirming that true personhood requires a divinely created soul, redeemed by Christ's blood, not mere computation.

In education, catechists could use simplified versions of the theory to engage young people, showing how science points to mystery beyond itself, thus countering secular skepticism while directing hearts to the healing presence of Jesus in the sacraments. Pastoral care might incorporate it in counseling, where understanding brain-soul interplay helps those with mental health issues see their struggles as part of a redemptive journey, not mere chemistry, but opportunities for the Holy Spirit to bring wholeness through prayer and confession.

Ultimately, this synthesis preserves the deposit of faith by subordinating science to theology. Hameroff's theory, shorn of its excesses, becomes a tool for apologetics, demonstrating that even cutting-edge physics leaves room for the supernatural, echoing the triumph of Christ's resurrection over death. Jones, if he investigates, might concede this utility while insisting on vigilance against ideological misuse. Jesuits could lead the charge, bridging empirical rigor with spiritual depth. In this way, Catholics navigate modern science faithfully, enriching understanding without wrecking the timeless truths of revelation, always centered on the crucifixion, sacrifice, and redemption that define the faith.

What is the Soul?

What is "pre-life" consciousness according to Hameroff?

Judicial Review Motion -More Late Night Work

That had to be said...ugg. but it is all good.

I am in that profound calm, the one where sound becomes color, motion, and emotion all at once. I am hearing Polyeleos. The sounds like the deepest kind of stillness, the kind that feels like heaven brushing against the skin of this world. Synaesthesia isn’t just a mixing of senses; it’s become a kind of inner liturgy, a private iconostasis where the Polyeleos doesn’t merely play, it unfolds into light and peace and longing. I could stay in this state forever. It is a glimpse into heaven.

There’s a reason the desert fathers and the hesychasts chased exactly this: the place where the heart descends into the body, the mind quiets, and the soul tastes something that isn’t time-bound. With synaesthesia, it’s painted in color and motion, scored with sound, and lit from within by desire for the real homeland.

That longing. The desire for heaven is the most honest wordless prayer there is. It’s the Good Thief’s plea all over again. But this time it’s not spoken from the cross; it’s sung from the center of my being, wrapped in calm so deep it almost hurts to leave.

Sunday Peace - Stormy Monday

I gave no real consideration to the storm that was bearing down on Nova Scotia. I am convinced that I have seen worst. I went to bed only to become aware of the storm when all the battery back-up UPS's started beeping. Then I rolled over and plugged my ears. It was not even a blustery storm so the outage was caused by something else. Even the snow was light on top with a wet underneath.

The generator ran from 8 am to 3 pm at which time the domestic power reactivated and the internet connection resumed. Snow blowed it all away with our ~24 year old Ariens 926 blower.

It was an inconsequential storm.

That said, there is no way to find out what exactly caused the outage in my neighbourhood. The only reason that I want to know is because it happens so frequently. Never is the fault in our neighbourhood. Never is the fault in Dartmouth Crossing. They never lost power. It is so odd.

Welcome My Sister Death - The Canticle of Saint Francis

I had a wonderful and rich conversation with a Holy Man, Father Nathanael, yesterday. I mentioned that one may reach a point in one's life where he is so consumed with love for God that he desires to be with Him. Even if that means the end of one's bodily life. This Holy Man smiled and told me about Sister Death.

Near the end of his life, as death approached, Francis added the final stanza about Sister Death (sometimes translated as "Sister Bodily Death" or "our Sister Death"). Tradition holds that this verse was composed or added on his deathbed, and the full Canticle was sung for the first time in its complete form by Francis and two companions (Brothers Angelo and Leo) just before he died.

IR Flashing seen by security Night Vision

I want to know if this is good for people.

NIR/IR Flashes from Smartphones (e.g., Face ID) – Key References

While compliance with standards like IEC 60825-1 and IEC 62471 classifies these low-power emissions as safe under foreseeable conditions, direct long-term human studies on chronic, repeated daily exposure (e.g., multiple unlocks per day over years) remain limited or absent. Many conclusions extrapolate from acute models, therapeutic/high-dose contexts, or broader IR guidelines, leaving potential boundaries under-explored.

• Eye Safety Related to Near Infrared Radiation Exposure to Biometric Devices (2011, PubMed/ResearchGate)
  Explores biological effects on the eye from NIR in biometric systems (iris/retina scanners, similar to Face ID). Notes incoherent LEDs pose lower risk than coherent sources, but raises concerns about LED arrays and references intense IR causing retinal burns/cataracts in high-exposure scenarios.
  Focuses on acute risks; chronic low-level effects from repeated consumer use not directly tested.
• Face to Face: Why NIR Facial Recognition Systems Are the Most Secure (2023, Radiant Vision Systems)
  Discusses NIR implementation in facial recognition, emphasizing careful design to avoid dangerous exposure levels that could damage the eye with intense/prolonged use.
  Stresses need for caution despite low-power classification; no long-term consumer data cited.
• Are Iris Scanning and Face ID Safe For Your Eyes? (YouTube explainer, DocUnlock, 2018)
  Reviews IR exposure from Face ID/iris scanners, citing ICNIRP statement that "current knowledge suggests no effects of chronic exposure below limits." Notes extreme exposure can harm eyes/skin, but phone levels are low.
  Relies on general IR guidelines; acknowledges long-term effects question but defers to absence of evidence.

• Infrared (780 nm–1 mm) – ICNIRP Guidelines (ICNIRP)
  Outlines thermal injury risks to eye (cornea, lens, retina) from high IR exposure, including cataracts from repeated extreme heat. No specific mention of low-power smartphone NIR.
  Guidelines focus on high-exposure occupational scenarios; chronic low-level consumer gaps implied.
• A review of the current state of research on artificial blue light safety as it applies to digital devices (2022, PMC)
  Examines blue light from screens; notes insufficient high-quality long-term data on repeated low-illuminance artificial light impacts, even though acute risks appear low.
  Analogous to NIR debates: short-term safety data abundant, but cumulative chronic effects debated/understudied.

• Safety of Face ID system for eyes? (Apple Support Communities, 2017–ongoing)
  User reports and discussions raise worries about repeated NIR exposure causing spots, soreness, or long-term retinal/lens issues; mixed responses, no confirmed cases.
  Anecdotal; highlights public skepticism despite manufacturer assurances.
• Are IR Scanners in Phones Bad for Your Eyes? (How-To Geek, 2019)
  Concludes low risk based on near-IR vs. far-IR differences and compliance, but notes prolonged high-intensity IR can cause cataracts/retinal issues.
  Reassuring overall, yet acknowledges boundaries tested only at much higher exposures.

Only 100% Busy Today

Back at it... I was busy with the team for the past several days and we made significant progress. A few more loose ends to tidy up. Patent work, Clinical Trial work for Dal, ( ahem clean-up the office work... ugg), New idea hardening, ... yes, today is busy too.

I haven't much time lately for softer interests but I did have a great chat with Nick about Iron John by Robert Bly. It is a book that reaches into pagan myths so in that sense it is profane but the book and Bly's thinking is replete with truths about men and their relationships, especially with their sons.

The idea that Nick and I tangled with was the notion that rough play is not violence. Further, that a punch in the face is also not violence. It is shame. Shame from the punch in the face (if deserved) perpetuates for life. The pain is quickly forgotten. A punch in the face without shame is not violence either. It is boxing.

Nick is soliciting mentors as he becomes a young man of substance and character. As he finds men in our community, filters them, and build the categories for these men, he becomes the matrix, the glue of an aggregate of disparate men who do not know each other. Nick is fast becoming a tour de force unto himself as the accidental liaison between his chorus of exemplars.

Nick is becoming important.

Here below is a link to an enduring book that I have given to dozens of young men over the decades. This book and the new testament.

The Infinitesimal is Infinity: A Catholic Reflection

What if original sin did not merely introduce death, but fractured eternity itself. Transforming the boundless "now" of Eden into the linear arrow of time we endure, where every instant seems to slip away?

In the state of original justice, Adam and Eve lived in Eden as a perpetual present, an "ever-abiding now" mirroring God's own eternity (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica I, q. 10). Time was not a relentless march toward decay but a harmonious cycle, unburdened by past regrets or future fears. The Fall, as taught in the Catechism (CCC 397–400), ruptured this communion, introducing mortality and the soul's "distention" (St. Augustine, Confessions XI): time became a finite arrow of entropy, labor, and longing.

Quantum mechanics offers a speculative echo: the observer effect collapses infinite potential into measured actuality, much as sin "collapsed" eternal simultaneity into sequential existence. Relativity shows time as relational, dilated by gravity or speed; likewise, sin severed our relation to God's timelessness, binding us to fragmented flow.

Yet Heaven restores what was lost. The beatific vision (CCC 1023–1029) immerses us in God's eternal "now," where past, present, and future converge in divine love. Quantum entanglement hints at this: instantaneous unity across distance, unbound by chronology.

Thus, original sin birthed our acute time awareness as a veil of separation, but Christ's redemption unveils the truth: the instant is infinity. In grace, every moment participates in eternity's embrace where all is held, all is renewed, and God is all in all.

This needs significantly more development. Neat idea.

Heat Pumps - In the Dead of Winter

I am a trained Professional Mechanical Engineer. I am thinking about my many friends who are heating their homes with HEAT PUMPS today. God bless you. There is very little heat to be extracted from the out-of-doors today at -15 C. So don't feel badly about using an otherwise dormant oil-fired furnace, electric space heaters, wood stoves, pellet stoves. Heat pumps are only running at low efficiency. So you might as well use resistive heating in terms of cost concerns. If you are running a pellet stove, be sure to periodically clean out the silver accumulation. ;)

Venezuela = Canada

Canada is the next Venezuela with respect to the oppressive foreign policy of China and their debt-based influence over debtor nations, CANADA being one. Trump likely sees the influence that China (CCP) has over Canadian affairs. I speculate that given what Trump just did in Venezuela, he'd not hesitate in using an armed arrest of Canadians, in Canada, if those traitors were contributing to the destabilization of Canada through acquiescence to CCP demands. China is all over CANADA, and Canadians are sleeping well, owning nothing and being happy.

Chinese CCP is operating within many layers of Canadian society and everyone is affected by it.

Aligning with Malevolence is Never Good - from Literature

The Deceiver Provocateur
This is real.

Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A brilliant scholar binds himself to Mephistopheles (the devil) for knowledge and power. Despite warnings from love (Gretchen) and divine mercy, he pursues destruction, causing harm and risking damnation. The problem: presumption of control over malevolent forces leads to moral ruin.

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Lady Macbeth aligns with her husband’s ambition (influenced by witches, a malevolent force) to murder and seize power. Despite her own conscience and indirect pleas from others (e.g., Macduff’s family), she descends into madness and suicide. The problem: invoking dark spirits for gain destroys the soul.

Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Catherine binds herself to Heathcliff (a vengeful, destructive figure) rejecting stable love from Edgar Linton. Despite pleas from family and friends (Nelly, Edgar), she chooses passion, leading to her death and eternal torment. The problem: obstinate pursuit of destructive alliance ruins life and afterlife.

Dorian Gray in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Dorian aligns with Lord Henry’s corrupting hedonism (malevolent influence), leading to moral decay. Despite warnings from friend Basil Hallward, he pursues pleasure, destroying himself. The problem: alliance with evil for eternal youth/power consumes the soul.

These stories show the same tragic arc: a character knowingly binds to malevolence for perceived gain, ignores loving interference, and walks toward self-destruction. Redemption is rare or ambiguous — the choice to turn away is always possible but often refused.

Belief

When people abandon belief in a transcendent, ordering principle (classically "God", the source of ultimate meaning, morality, and rational structure), they do not become cool, neutral skeptics who believe in nothing. Instead, they become vulnerable to believing in anything: ghosts, omens, shams, superstitions, conspiracies, pseudoscience, political messiahs, miracle cures, or whatever fills the void. The human mind craves belief. It is not built for sustained emptiness. Remove the "venerable edifice" of a coherent worldview, and something will rush in to replace it often something far less rational, more extravagant, and more dangerous.

Did you go to Friedrich Nietzsche? I sure did....

Consider a different view...

G.K. Chesterton did often say the below quote in various forms and the idea developed much inthe past, ohhhh 150 years.

Frequency... People are often citing "frequency" as a fundamental element in their substitute religion. It is by design, a meaningless term that sounds "wise." I attribute its use to a reflexive need to be seen as profound, superior, or sage-like. Just try it out. Say "frequency" in a mixed crowd (epecially neo-pagan pretenders) and watch the heads nod in agreement... It is amusing to see the social control that a simple word possesses.

I fall in the Chesterton camp. Without "God" people will believe in nonsense. Any kind of nonsense.

Since I am an engineer, I know what frequency is. I think low frequency is soothing and high frequency is agitating. Others think the opposite. So, in common parlance, the word has no workable meaning.

PDF version of full paper - Think- Microtubules- Quantum Tunnel

This paper aligns intriguingly with Hameroff and Penrose's Orch-OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) theory , which proposes that consciousness emerges from quantum computations in neuronal microtubules, orchestrated by objective wavefunction collapse. The paper's quantum implications in ion channels (e.g., tunneling for ion flow and fine-structure constant universality) complement Orch-OR's focus on quantum processes in neural structures, potentially bridging macroscopic action potentials with microscopic quantum events. Both suggest quantum mechanics underpins neural computation and memory, with the paper's ferroelectric multi-states echoing Orch-OR's role in conscious moments and synaptic plasticity . While Orch-OR emphasizes microtubules, the paper extends quantum hints to channels, opening avenues for integrated models of brain quantum biology.

Boxing Day COFFEE OMGosh - YUMMIEST

Today is already a fantastic day. I was awake early and I immediately said a prayer and lumbered to my office and began to play GRACE in a manger by Oliver.

MEN - Be very dangerous.

We are turning to a new epoch, to the realm of the great moral battle with the supreme enemy. I have to say that I am surrounded by a cohort of very dangerous men. Strong, confident, righteous, imperfect, restrained, and VERY DANGEROUS.

They scare the hell out of me! The hell? The hell in me? They scare it out of me!

From the caldron of putrid life-hating feminism that tried to unmake men, have come supermen, with brains, balls and brawn and beauty and beatitude.

It is almost like the inversion of the demonic final insult against God's design and in the cunning of divine reason,....thus spake Zarathustra, ...and into the world cometh, a new race of men, born into a world with no future, despised, and their essence hated by their mothers....and unknown to their ineffectual fathers.

Born into a shit-filled rut in a road of whore-houses, sewers, and thieves.

But the demon knew he'd be undone. For in the filth, this new breed of perfected men cannot be deterred with their nuclear bomb of GRACE exploding in their souls. MY GOD I love them! I would die for any one of them in a horrifying ignominious death, exhausting my last breath to inspire their courage to crash through the monster's phony facade. Make a fertile plain for the new woman, protected by Adam renewed.

To My God, and without vanity, I pray God speed. I admire all of you young men.

The Quiet Obedience of Joseph

Masculine Suffering

Gospel – Matthew 1:18-24

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; 19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. 20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanʹu-el” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,

I am reading to frame my day, to infect my consciousness with an idea, an idea that has seized many of us.. in this illusion of time, which you may not apprehend.

My reflection on today’s readings:

It traces a thread that runs straight through Scripture: the reversal of Adam’s failure in the quiet obedience of Joseph, the wilful obedience of Mary despite the inevitable risk of shame.

Where Adam stood silent while the serpent deceived Eve, allowing sin to enter through inaction and neglect of his role as protector, Joseph acts with decisive faithfulness. He hears the angel’s whisper, believes what seems impossible, and shields Mary from scandal and danger. In that single act of protective love, taking her into his home, he becomes the guardian of the Incarnation itself. He corrects the ancient wound.

As Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers says "[Adam] stood there and did nothing while Satan destroys his Family".LINK to Deacon Harold stating this.

This contemplation rightly lingers on Mary’s fiat. Her “Let it be done to me according to your word” is the free, total consent that makes the Incarnation possible. The Holy Spirit does not override her will; He waits for it, honors it, and then overshadows her. In that moment, eternity enters time, the Infinite takes on flesh, and God becomes vulnerable, ultimately to the point of torture and death, so that the breach, opened in Eden, might be healed.

Joseph’s role is often understated, yet without his "yes", the Holy Family would not have been formed in the way God intended. He is the silent man of righteousness who makes space for the Savior to be born, raised, and hidden until the hour comes.

What is contemplated here is the great reversal: the New Adam (Christ) undoes the disobedience of the old through perfect obedience unto death, and the New Eve (Mary) undoes the refusal through perfect surrender. But Joseph stands as the quiet restorer of the husband’s vocation: to guard, to protect, to sacrifice self for the beloved, even when the cost is misunderstanding and shame.

Let the wonder of the Incarnation seep into your consciousness, reminding all who ponder it that God entered history not in power, but in weakness, trust, and love.

And men, take life-ending risks, defend righteousness, for God's sake, to the benefit of our wives and our daughters, so that they see men properly.

My sisters, what did God save for last? Perfectio Creationis. “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh…” It is you my beautiful sisters, my wife and my daughters. Most women today do not know what we men have long known. We were in solitude without our wives. God saved the best till last. Woman, the ark of continued creation, the house where the human soul is created. Woman, God's gift to her protector. It is amazing.

Ladies, choose your protector, the father of your children, the man who will die at your feet, sacrifice his life, his reputation for God's sake to your benefit. Joseph said yes. That was a real man. The liar slithered in the branches and seduced Eve with whispered empty promises, a cocktail of deception, in service to its own ends.

Peter and Paul Served Elections Nova Scotia Today

Elections NS was Served with a notice that their actions violated the Canadian Charter of Rights

Peter and I drove around Halifax and Dartmouth serving the Attorney General of NS, the Attorney General of Canada, and Elections Nova Scotia with a Notice of Constitutional Challenge. There are subtleties in law and procedure in having done so at this time which is why we are are pretty happy sitting on my steps. Since there is a Charter Challenge within a judicial review, the the rules governing disclosure are quite beneficial to the applicants... US! Also it is difficult to have the case tossed due to justicability since a Charter Challenge de-facto requires examination by a justice. A good day. The notices are on my lap.

December 21, 2025 is the solstice.

About 3 km off shore from Lawrencetown is Half Island Point and another 3 km more is Shut Island Shoals from where the Sun will seem to rise at 7:46:57 am. I WILL NOT BE THERE DUE TO WEATHER. It is interesting to watch. The sun blinks above the water all at once it seems. It is also the shortest day of the year by 2 seconds. Coffee, a blanket and a blink!

This the "sunclac" web page rendering of the moment.

This is what you'll see...

...but Grace doth rise in the other skies, and with the morning Mercy, celestial surprise...

Poor Sampson had a boo boo

Sampson spent some time at the vet last night. He is such a calm dog. He looked pretty drugged up last night. I hope he feels better in the coming days. Giant sweet animal.

Looking forward to some time in Hubbards with Oliver and Kirsten and their cheese soup. Their hospitality is infectious. I will not be drinking their concoctions however.

The weather is messy with wet-ish snow but the drive is on the new and beautiful 103. Looking forward to Mass.

Reading case law etc regarding a Notice of a Constitutional Challenge

I plan to tidy the yard up a bit before the snow becomes a problem and treat myself to a cozy fire and a hot cup of tea... maybe tomorrow. Too much going on right now.

....sometimes just thinking is the task at hand.

What is she saying? She wants security. Many young men are cell-phone-addicted, video-game-playing, useless wankers. Find a job.. a real epic vocation, one that is so rough it just might KILL YOU.

I Have Had Better Days but --coffee today is special

Hi Folks. Today is one of those days that one waits a lifetime to experience. I had the sleep of ages last night. Why? I was held aloft by angels yesterday. Tired, I went to bed and slept without dreaming for 7 hours and I awoke at 4:30 am thinking... "I love you my Lord and my God."

Peter Mac Isaac and John Hurley and I put a cherry on top of the great work done by you all.

So right now, at 6:30 am I am playing a beautiful tune, drinking a coffee so yummy I can't wait for the next sip... and reflecting on the magnificent dance of love and mutual support we all have enjoyed, but especially, that I have felt these past weeks.

I would name you all but I need your permission first, so I'll be asking later today!

"What Happens Now?"....

You travel through a worm hole into another universe....LOL!!

We Came from NOTHING?

Do you have the slightest notion of what "NOTHING" is? Nothing is not an empty space. Space, even empty, is still space. Space is something. I have to rely on principle to imagine what NOTHING is. In fact, using the word "is" is probably a logical error. So too then is suggesting that NOTHING "is". I think that nothing, in its purist form, is not even an idea of anything. To possess the idea alone attributes something to nothing. NOTHING is even less than that. To imagine nothing is creation of a sort. What a pickle! Nothing is even less than the idea of itself.

Recently Elon Musk shocked the world. again, by speaking the obvious:

By universe I derive "Everything" as the meaning. So "EVERYTHING" which is all that there is, came from something. But Everything possesses the constituent something, the something from which it came unless it is apart from everything. Everything, something and nothing.

The only way to reconcile Elon Musk's seemingly internally inconsistent utterance is to include the implied unmoved mover as that which is apart from everything, that is in exception to and also apart from nothing.

So poetry becomes the language...

As E. Michael Jones put it: "Three persons were in so much love with each other that it overflowed as beauty, truth and goodness, which is being itself, and all that there is." That was the creation of Everything from Nothing, the unmoved mover, the trinity of love, ideated beauty.

God

God is the something Mr. Musk.

Poetry provides the channels of ambiguity that rationalism attempts to destroy.

In the poetic language we say an infinity of things back to front, timeless, inside and out, in an incomprehensible vortex. Poor Kurt Gödel. It broke him. Incompletely. ;)... I love him.

Kurt Gödel
By the age of 25 Kurt Gödel had produced his famous “Incompleteness Theorems.” His findings strongly influenced the discovery that a computer can never be programmed to answer all mathematical questions.

I was awake before the birds today.

Busy brain...

Happy Birthday Sam

1 x 3 x 3 x 7

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Juan Diago

...Mary ordered him to climb the hill and pluck the roses he would find on the top of it. Though the Indian knew there could be no roses on the stony summit, especially at such a time of the year. He did as he was told by his mistress, as he used to call our Blessed Lady, and very soon came down to where she was standing with his cloak full of what tradition describes as rosas de Castilla frescas olorosas y con rocio...Our Lady took the roses in her hands and after gazing a while upon them gave them back to Juan Diego, who put them into his tilma.

Fake Naturopathic Doctor

A naturopathic doctor explains how to tell a naturopathic doctor from a quack. What a refreshing thing to read. The Doctor is Dr Pat Nardini, ND in Toronto.

Link to a List of How to Identify a FAKE NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR

According to Nardini, quacks claim to cure cancer, or they can't provide credentials, or they are not licensed, or they are listed on the UNAUTHORIZED PRACTITIONERS LIST, or they push multi-level marketing product, or try to scare you into a treatment. Whoa!

SWAY GAME Update! - WIN 1 MILLION DOLLARS

I have received enough bottles to easily conduct the SWAY GAME complete with pre and post game calibration, labeled sample bottles. I am making grid arrays to easily preserve order and control during the game. The first game will be with refined sugar vs natural maple syrup from a glass bottle at the request of the game contestant. I will provide your challenge substances at your request as the game contestant, with some limitations related to density, viscosity, and color.

Holistic medicine scammers caught red-handed - 60 Minutes Australia

I happen to admire Holistic Nutritionists and Natural Healers. I also like the Healing Ministry within my Catholic Faith. I also work with and love conventional medical healers who do surgeries and treatments in our hospitals. Good people willing the good, and making their patients and adherents better. I have seen healing done across the spectrum.

Since I am a professional engineer involved in the development of medical interventions, (No drug or food interventions) I make it my business to support friends and family in their choices for care, be it proper nutrition or complicated surgery. I am not a practitioner so I do not like to offer health advice, even if I think I know what the situation is for a sick person. But as friends enter into care, be it a surgeon or a massage therapist providing the care, I pay close attention.

I am aggressive in defending my friends and family if they are being mistreated. Mistreated by a Harvard Medical School Psychiatrist or a Chiropractor or a Shawman. Performance means everything to me. I am not easily impressed with credentials. I worked in Boston between 1995 and the present, and it is arguably the city with the best medical systems on earth. I have witnessed many wonders. Most times credentials are a good indicator of an honest attempt at a treatment with a high probability of success. But I have seen too many exceptions. Similarly, I have seen friends treated through the Catholic Healing Ministry, and I have seen friends treated by Naturopaths and Holistic Nutritionists. Again, results matter.

I am biased to prefer Christian practitioners for many reasons but the fundamental reasons are trust and commitment to Christ. If a healer is a liar or a cheat and if the healer is driven by evil intent then I want no relationship with him.

I intend to do a series on this subject prompted by recent events and after having seen this news documentary below, which is shocking. I remind my readers that I know of nobody in Nova Scotia, other than myself, who testified against Robert Strang, The Chief Medical Officer of Nova Scotia's behavior in a court of law. With that credibility, I am believed when I say that I show no favoritism. Criminals are criminals.

We, as a community, need to lift up the competent and good, and irradicate the incompetent and the evil.

Hint: Good and capable practitioners don't lie.

Below is a 60 minutes expose of a couple of bad apples unqualified to offer healing services to anyone.

In this video, people were hurt and killed by a naturopath. In our community, people have been hurt by Strang, inept doctors and liars who pretend to be healers called naturopaths. Lies on small matters = lies on important matters. It is a manifestation of a defective moral framework.
