Dog Vomit


The Dog Vomit slime mould is quite an amazing creature - more animal than vegetable, more amoebic than fungal. I came across this beauty whilst tramping through a Northumberland forest the other day and have been reading up about slime moulds since.  Fascinating.  I can thoroughly recommend it.

Reminds me of a long night of drinking. Are you sure that's not actually some dog's vomit?

You may very well be right Murph! Nice to see you back online.

Oh yes, I'm charming. I appreciate the Dog Vomit. I don't think we have those here. Pond scum instead. And some kind of silk worms or something.

I don't know, since blogger went and updated to these shiny new templates, I am somehow more enthusiastic.

Oh dear DM. You really should get some help.

Hmmm, I don't know who DM is, but they seem to be on some kind of crusade. I followed one of them links, stephenlaw.blogspot.com, and read this: "Oh dear, your belief system looks pretty irrational. Critics point out that only do you have little in the way of argument for what you believe, there also seems to be powerful evidence against it. If you want, nevertheless, to convince both yourself and others that your beliefs are not nearly as ridiculous as your critics suggest, what can you do?"

Belief system. You know, the word "belief" means "wish" and system means "sewer". Not all real numbers are rational, and not all truth is logical.

I remember reading your blog some time ago, and you put forth a very good question, something about religion monopolizing spirituality. Moments ago, I was reading an online forum, and I mentioned that God is evil, and someone said, "Sorry Murph, but you're off base...to say God is evil is utterly ludicrous and shortsighted." I said something about the duality between absolute goodness and absolute evil being a Chinese finger trap for the mind, and that to believe God is good and the Devil is evil, that's really putting God and the Devil as two shadows of the same Self.

But, now I just feel guilty for scaring children.

Oh, and the burning of the Big Butter Jesus (http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/6/16/1276680110544/The-King-of-Kings-statue--005.jpg), that's an omen. Idolatry--it's fantastic.

I pity that certain kind of religious person who characterises the moral world in two-tone.

Reminds me of Nietzche (Beyond Good & Evil) when he wrote "Enlightenment causes revolt: for the slave desires the unconditioned, he understands nothing but the tyrannous, even in morals; he loves as he hates, without nuance, to the very depths, to the point of pain, to the point of sickness..."

Mind, this is as much about low "EI" as it is religiosity I think.
