Thank you for a great service- holding a mirror up to the way we think about ourselves and our world, This is at least as valuable as the individual points you make and information you share.
“For me, life, like evolution, is a series of accidents. No intelligent design. No dumb design No design at all.”
We all know men and they have proven themselves to be so utterly unreliable and trustworthy
Therefore, I choose not believe most of anything they say unless I can confirm myself.
Actually, it’s a safe bet if you can’t confirm then rely on your own gut but be sure to suspect the mainstream view for it’s surely wrong.
Having said that my gut tells me to reject what men have said concerning the existence of the earth and the origin of species such as the evolution theory.
Nevertheless both evolution and creation both require believing.
So then for myself I choose to believe in a Creator it’s the most powerful, beautiful and reasonable of the two.
Not to mention one has nothing to offer it simple ends here which reeks of a characteristically human earthly view of things.
While the other has reward and is otherworldly attractive something men would ordinarily not conceive.
I’m on the spectrum and although I know I am not as smart as my favourite writers on Substack, I get a feeling that many of them, who have not swallowed the guff from the MSM and government are, likewise, on it too. To an extent we’re outsiders looking in and are unconcerned about fitting in .. coz we never did.
I have to say, I think we all have a degree of autism or ASD or whatever, and that 'disability' forces us to grow or develop abilities that at first seem due to cruel chance or in some way negative, but with time are treasured and honed. I also see the advantages of age and the slowing down or whatever as forcing us to think or learn literacy on new levels, so, here's to you and us Julian, cheers.
Darwin called his book Evolution of the species. Which supposes nothing about the origin of life but changes in species classical horse. This predated modern biology which has found the cell to be incredibly complicated. There is a YouTube video in which a computer scientist calculated that there is not enough time for life to be created randomly since each change must pass through the species and become dominate before another is introduced. I studied geology and accepted evolution but never really thought about it much till I saw that video. I think there is a lot of crap in science especially since the Covid scam. I think the elites in all fields are as stupid and corrupt as the politicians.
I am a high IQ linear thinker. Have been accused all my life of being unable to "relate" to "normal" chaotic thinking methods. All methods are valid, though. It's the product that survives and matters, not the process. When the same people who still insist that a plane hit the Pentagon in 2001 put this narrative out, no one's radar should allow any wiggle room at all for "error" to them.
Fazia já algum tempo que não recebia artigos seus.
Ficasse um tempo sem escrever??
Sempre aprecio seus escritos, assim como dos que você citou no artigo.
Ainda estou no estágio de ler o mais que posso, não sei se atingirei em algum momento o nível capaz de analisar e tirar boas conclusões, mas, espero continuar no caminho.
PS.: o Alastair Crooke citou algo escrito por você em um artigo que ele escreveu dia 17.04.2023 no SCF:
"Julian Macfarlane comentou que a Rússia iniciou uma verdadeira 'revolução', com a China agora se juntando a ela. todos os Estados têm igual direito à soberania, segurança total e pleno respeito”. Ele contextualiza isso em termos de um foco de Jefferson na tirania da Coroa Britânica, enquanto Putin formula sua doutrina de ordem multipolar, em oposição à tirania hegemônica das 'Regras' dos EUA."
Always interesting to read your thoughts.
Wonderful, touching and human Julian. I share your age and a lifetime of your confusing condition.
For what it's worth I managed with help to open a substack thing yesterday and will post some poems for general comment and amusement.
Health and happiness to you.
As another "on the spectrum", I like the way you think.
"Better one converted sinner than a hundred true believers !" 😉

Thanks I really appreciate your post - I see the world in similar way am relieved that my logical cynicism is not totally unique!
A well considered analysis. Great to see there are still those capable of this art form

Shame your still in the box that evolution is real…
But still a good read
My dear Julian.
I have been lurking and following your Substack-gems for some time, but at last I felt the need to post a comment.
I would like, if I may, to add to your must-follow-read list:
Firstly, steelcityscribblings.uk, in the form of Philip Roddis (yes, one l, and 2 d`s!!), and like you, he is "is one hell of a wordsmith."
Secondly, Ray Mcgovern if he had a substack blog.
Then one small change to your essay: "Information is not knowledge", as opposed to truth.
So thats it for know from this SAFFA living in Germany.
Oh yes, almost forgot.
Will do my best to support you on a monthly basis, just need to find the right button to click!
All the very best wishes, keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Billy
you don't need to be on the spectrum to see the obvious lies. they aren't even trying anymore.:
Biden got 81 million votes (more than Obama) while campaigning from his basement.
Safe and effective
There are many genders
Ukraine is winning
We are not in recession

But then I am approaching old, what do I know?
