Much of what Karl Popper contributed to the philosophy of science has now passed into mainstream thought, into the currency of that nebulous, tricky ontology known as 'common sense.'

I have issues with anyone who tries to claim that science is unworkable - creationists who deny evidence for past history, yet are happy to benefit from the products of the methodology that they otherwise deny.

There are a few people who are, let's say, personality-challenged, who would like to set up a cult, but in large part they fail due to the innate stroppiness and independence of their fellow pagans.

I've written a detective series myself, set in an imaginary, and slightly futuristic, Chinese city. The novels have an extremely tenuous relationship with the real world, since the hero is the city's Hell and ends up with a sidekick who is a demon.

We tried war, we tried aggression, we tried intervention. None of it works. Why don't we try peace, as a science of human relations, not as some vague notion - as everyday work.

I look at so many people's feeds like, 'God, your life is so cool. Like, I want to do that! Why don't I get that?' And I will get envious of someone's life, and we don't think about the fact that it's completely - not fake, but it's one single screenshot of just the good times.

Our faith in the present dies out long before our faith in the future.

As you walk in God's divine wisdom, you will surely begin to see a greater measure of victory and good success in your life.
