why science is controversial

Most people don't know how to access science. 

1. Science is a method, that produces probabilistic models of risk. 

2. Folks who can't brain statistics, have no choice but to trust scientists. Is this science? No, this is faith. 

3. As a result, scientism, the faith in statements claiming to be scientifically determined, is actually what most people get about science. Shadows on a wall. 

4. The business of throwing shadows is governed, at more levels. Now scientism is in politics.

ressons to marry, in Malaysia

In Malaysia, often marriage is all about the money. I think I will start telling people, I have no money, and I don't want your money ... so there is no reason to get married. In Malaysia, pre-nuptial agreements are not enforceable in secular marriage.

Religion is a secondary issue, but since I am not religiously pro-marriage, I do not consider this aspect of marriage. Romance, the notion of a fairy-tale ride-or-die, I consider a game for idiot children, and encourage no one to practice it. 

Over the past five years I've met so many divorcees on dating apps. Many of my former partners have since, gotten married. I've never been married. I made a proposal once to a friend in college, but they were not interested.

I hope that the one thing people can learn from me, is that relationships of all sorts are primarily a form of business. Family, friend, and lovers, are all balances of trade. One can manage these effectively if one practices transparent and simple governance. When less clear language and protocol is introduced, humanity regresses to primitive notions of kinship. Such is the lay of the land.

japanese running u-turn

Was trying to figure out what a "japanese runner u turn" was, and it's essentially a three-stride manoeuvre :

1. Inside leg pushes away from turn, outside leg reaches away from turn ( centre of gravity moved into turn : countersteering )

2. Outside leg lands away from turn, as body drops to lower centre of gravity ( continuing analogy with countersteering)

3. Outside leg pushes into turn ( maximising force in turning direction, due to 1, 2 ), inside leg reaches into turn

4. Inside leg lands in pivot position

5a. Body pivots around 4, rotating into turn, or

5b. Body pivots around 4, rotating away from turn

6a/b. Outside leg lands in whichever manner is appropriate based on 5a/b precedence, then applies maximum braking force ( and force absorption), then initiates kick-off in new ( 180-degree ) direction, including partial redirection of any absorbed for

7. Inside leg lands, and begins compensatory adjustment to resume straightline running
