Tonight my heart feels heavy. My dismay at the status quo is so strong. Taking things to their logical conclusions, there is just no way that I can have what I want in this life and very likely, in any sort of afterlife that may follow. In many ways, I can’t help but feel likeContinueContinue reading “Off the Record”

I wish there was a way I could be sure that what I share didn’t have any negative ramifications towards me in the future. So much has happened since my last post; yet I find myself feeling leery about going into details about the bad. I think I will allude to it and leave theContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 07252026.8”

Many decide to join Starfleet in order to travel the universe and do the right thing. I think that, over time, most realize how difficult it is to discern what truly is good, evil, and the many permutations in between them. To save myself time, I made a comprehensive list of traits I think areContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 01122026.4”

Federation scientists sometimes spend their entire careers studying a single animal, hoping to understand where it came from, what shaped it over time, what its genes reveal, how it interacts with its ecosystem and vice versa. Sometimes, this process leads to some surprising connections. Officer Bella fighting off a Horta from swallowing her! Someone studyingContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 12222025.8”

Listen to this episode It’s hard not to feel a sense of awe when looking into space. The stars and the expanse in between them are functionally infinite. Even Earth is big enough that no one can see all of it in one lifetime. I think what hurts my heart is the fact that mostContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 03092025.6”
Ode to Data
My conversations with AI (Updated response w/reply) My question: Provide an objective interdisciplinary approach from fields like history, psychology, anthropology, and literary studies and formulate complex ways religion interacts with culture and society. Also in that, look at how Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and mysticism have had an impact on modern thought, like psychology, literature, and theContinueContinue reading “Ode to Data”

As our understanding of what it means to be alive deepens, we have learned that life is not a simple checklist ofContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 12262024.7”

Listen to this episode Drifting through the dark expanse of space, I find myself thinking about the nature of reality. There is the tangible world we are able to physically observe and the abstract dimensions that also shape our understanding of existence. If abstract concepts like numbers and geometric figures can hold true without physicalContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 08012024.7”

Listen to this episode Throughout the quadrant, distress beacons are going off in all directions. Holonovels would have you believe that some hero goes off on a quest that results in those in need being saved. Reality isn’t nearly as kind. Found this random flower that reminded me of a bird. Those with the mostContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 06022024.5”
Stars in the sky
Listen to this episode I took a lot of notes while reading the book, “God is not one” by Stephen Prothero. At the time, I was going to write an entry based on these notes but I’m going to post them below and you can discern what you want from them. As you’ll see, theyContinueContinue reading “Stars in the sky”
