Why I Hate Archaeology
I truly can’t abide this incremental urge to interfere with our ancestors’ graves – as the ultimate act of disrespect. They lie it’s not so; we treat these bones with deep veneration – but those scuttling scavengers couldn’t give a fig for any psyche or soul as assigned to the skeletons at which they scratch and scrape.
Reading Darwin
You gotta read Darwin’s, ‘On the Origin of Species’ – the actual one – is fucking amazing. Far too many lately arseholes have jumped all over his brilliant bits; making a lot of pernickety noise, to diminish the excellence of the original.
Pythagoras
As nothing remains of Pythagoras’ writings/teachings we have to trust fragments left by his students known now as the Pythagoreans. With his pre-eminence questioned as no one believes one man could be responsible for such an array of pure and practical pedantic genius in the arts and sciences.
