About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Scholar Or Academic

I usually don't like to promote one search engine over the other but in my studies....
Don't I sound so pedagogic!
Keeping with my theme of yesterday,
that of learning,
I have found that reading scientific papers late at night can really put me to sleep.
I mean,
it feeds this craving mind I have for knowledge!
Like the other day,
when I wanted to read articles on
"Planetary Boundaries Framework."
Just your usual light reading I dare say.
First I went with the old granddads of the search world,
Found everything I was looking for,
including tons of tracking cookies to bog down my web browsing.
Then I went to one of the newer kids on the block,
because they profess that;
"DuckDuckGo is an internet search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers' privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalized search results. DuckDuckGo distinguishes itself from other search engines by not profiling its users and by showing all users the same search results for a given search term."
Which is a good thing since they are not using algorithms to put forward groups who pay to be first in line when you search a subject.
Also,
these algorithms like to put up the worst case scenarios to hopefully outrage you so you keep clicking more websites, which in turn pays the bills for these grandad search engines.
Sorry,
sometimes I get carried away when I am talking about the
Back to all the scientific papers on the
"Planetary Boundaries Framework."
Ahhhh,
just go to
it's easier.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
