The article is here as a PDF. The Diagrams from Powerpoint are here as a PDF. The Excel spreadsheet of all human interactions is here as an Excel workbook.

Pattern Worship Choice God. PDF

Here I examine the highest level patterns and try to link everything I have done so for into one tightly bound model. It is still coherent and has a wide coverage from simple to complex.

Women Lawyers – Corruption – Feminism – Debate PDF

in this I use an open letter by female lawyers to explore debate and arguments using all my models. Using frame and models helps make some assessment of the quality and type of the argument and discover biases and questions which can then be explored to discover why people are so biased and corrupt.

Equality – Diversity – Measurement – Notice PDF

– I look at the basics of noticing things and the average as displayed in central limit theorem. How and why do we notice things? Feminists but also other extremists fall for this trap so often – what is it that they have trouble seeing and understanding? I explore the Mandelbrot set – I get an explorer to go on expeditions.

Why Not A Humanist Manifesto PDF – I explore the various dogma frameworks throughout history – looking at Greek, Roman and Chinese History and earlier abstractions back to 40,000 BC. Patterns emerge throughout history. Binary Certain Dogma in tension with exploration and discovery (amongst many things). Some of the records of discussions and techniques are explored.

What Am I Missing PDFGoogle Map. I explore history and got lost. I found some new people and places and some new ideas.

I have now published a Volcanoes database on google maps and also made the raw KML available in large PDF files. All the data resides on my home computer in msaccess databases and other files. Volcanoes PDF (Explanations, KML for styles and includes KML for all undated Volcanoes) , Volcanoes – Dated PDF (ones with any dated events), Volcanoes – Eruption Events to 1300 PDF, Volcanoes – Extra (hotspots) PDF, Volcanoes – Earthquakes and Tsunamis to 1300 PDF https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1EQARhWdft8mcjwglTvJPy0O6S2WNDJbJ

Obvious Deluded Psychopaths – Extremists – Feminists PDF – Much of the world has reverted to tribal abuse and warfare. Groupthink and group identity dominate over thinking and debate. Questions are ignored and shouted down by smug angry violent mobs of certainty. Obvious Corruption is widespread. Few commentators understand the depth of the problem of the human condition – some see it as a glitch of a few rather than widespread entrenched psychopathic delusion.
