Here is an idea that Bill or someone else animation savvy might want to consider for a humorous short film with political content. Scenario: We are in a forest. The year is 2050. Suddenly a grass covered (camouflaged) lid opens up and out of it comes two elderly people with masks. They look around. […]

Alternatives to California
Based on what Bill mentioned about his preference for the climate in California versus Florida, I can only say that I understand what he is talking about. Having been to California (I am from Norway) I can only say that it is one of the most beautiful and weatherly pleasing geographies in the world. In […]

Reparations are not a good idea
I just saw Stratosphere Lounge 307 where Bill put forth the idea of just paying reparations. It’s not the first time he has mentioned this idea so I have had time to think about it. I have concluded that reparations are not a good idea for TWO important reasons. First, Bill made a calculation error. […]

The Shakespeare Code
In his recent Stratosphere, Bill talked about a possible new Daily Wire podcast on conspiracy theories, and then mentioning Shakespeare. I think that he hasn’t heard the really GOOD theory yet, which was developed by a Norwegian called Petter Amundsen. For various reasons he looked for codes in Shakespeare’s original printings, and started nesting up […]
In his recent stratosphere, Bill acknowledge that his sludge filters are clogged and he needs some time off to self-purify. There is a simple way to do that without the site withering while he is gone: let Scott have his own show. I have been waiting for a long time for him to use his […]

Sci fi tech and Bill’s series
Although I absolutely do not like wormholes (As a physicist, I think the physics is really bad, and I am also a black hole skeptic), the solution that Bill has landed on is the least bad version of it, and I do like the chained stargate concept and the railroad analogy. Here are a few […]
The Mandalorian star Gina Carano was fired for comparing being Republican today to being Jewish during the Holocaust. Thus, she was doing somewhat what I was recommending in recent blog posts, namely to frame social justice as essentially Nazi ideology. We can learn a lot from this. First, the behavior of the outrage mob is […]

German Lives Matter — follow-up
Based on my previous article on German Lives Matter, I think some clarifications are in order. Some people took as the main message the following: “It’s just scapegoating.” The Nazis scapegoated the Jews. The Left scapegoats whites. So therefore, the essential similarity is scapegoating, right? No, no no. Scapegoating is nothing new, and there is […]

The German Lives Matter movement
If every conservative and (true) liberal told the following story, wokeness would be gone in a flash: In 1933 in Germany, the revolutionary German Lives Matter movement (GLM) came to power in an ad hoc cooperation with Antifa, against the moderate center. In the same year, the Congress was set on fire, and GLM blamed […]

After party? The American Party
I understand the tongue-in-cheek fun of the After Party suggestion on a recent stratosphere lounge. However, based on my own reaction to it and that of many others I have talked to, it is not a good idea because it is perceived as unserious and flippant. It’s the very same reason that people do NOT […]

American vs Un-American
I think that Bill is absolutely right in creating a dichotomy between the Americans on one side (who can be liberals or conservatives or whatever) and those who oppose America on the other side. I just have one objection: don’t call them anti-American. Call them Un-american instead. There are multiple reaons for this. Syllables Anti-American […]
I thought I would share this video on warp drive by a German physicist. She nicely goes through the issues with the Alcubierre drive, and possible workarounds, and presents a new paper that has generalized the analysis originally done by Alcubierre. According to her (and she is generally skeptical of fancy things) warp drives are […]
An issue I find it necessary to revisit is the concept of the warp drive, and specifically the Alcubierre drive. I don’t know why Bill is so convinced that it is impossible to do the Alcubierre drive, when real physicists like myself and others see that it is within potential reach. I want to specifically […]
In the debate of whether to use faster than light (FTL) travel or just ordinary travel in a sci-fi story, there is another technology that allows for slower travel speeds without entirely disrupting the timeline, and that is life extension. Today, the healthy lifespan of a human being is around 70 years. That is, you […]
