Human beings have an instinctive, some would say "God given," revulsion to killing other humans. It appears to be as ancient as we are and the vast majority of human cultures have seen such killing as among the ultimate offenses and apply penalties appropriate to the crime. Such is our instinct. So those who wish … Continue reading T0 Make Unhuman

2021
It is good to be here, dear friends, despite the world, the politics, and the general hysteria and anger.
