I have several computers, in fact, but not a

Nowadays Computers are as cheap as mobiles. Get some old decent
computer at homer and play Chess at Night.


Rumors that I might be a vampire are greatly
exaggerated. True, I often awaken at dusk and
go to bed at dawn, but I have never -- repeat,
never -- liked the taste of blood, and even garlic
has no effect on me (apart from giving me bad
breath).


I know playing Chess at Library is not a good thing to do. Are you
studing in some College?


No, no, no-- I've said "goodbye to all that".

I have been watching some DVDs lately, on a
variety of subjects in which top-rated Ivy League
professors of greatness expound on their ideas.

But the trouble with these guys is they don't
quite seem to know their stuff. In many cases,
there is more of "religion" than reason to their
politics. For instance, one of these chaps has
ancient Greece as being ruled by the people,
and just brushes off annoying facts like slavery
and such as irrelevancies; of course, not one
of the slaves got a say in this, since they didn't
have time to sit 'round discussing philosophy
and writing books for us to consider their point
of view.

I went to Wikipedia and typed in a few words
like democracy, plutocracy, etc., just to see
what might come up. Lo and behold, the
name "Greece" popped up under just what
logic and reason would have one expect-- not
under what my Ivy League superstar prof. was
expounding! And that was just one of a
multitude of insanities in his lectures (which
are quite entertaining, nonetheless).

I found the same problems with my courses
on science, only here it's not politics but
religion, and also reason, that are at the root
of the problems. You might be surprised to
learn that more than a few are battling with
creationists over the theory of evolution, right
smack in the middle of their lectures on
science.

But that is not the biggest problem; far
more worrisome is the short shrift these
fellows give to reason when dealing with the
unknown. Instead of admitting that we in
fact do not know very many things, they
consistently imagine that we do-- and
expound on just how certain scientists are
of the tiniest details of their imaginary
knowledge!

This is gravely disappointing, and serves
as confirmation of one point made by the
entertaining professor I described earlier:
that we do not learn from history. In fact,
so-called scientists have always imagined
that they knew things they did not, and
this seems to be unchanging, an eternal
weakness of humankind (myself excepted).
