Paul Hazelden commented on Adrian Roberts's article REVIEW: Facism - A Warning: Madeleine Albright.
"I have not read it, but you have convinced me it is a well written book on an important topic.  We hae to understand the past in order if we wish to avoid reliving it - but the important thing about understanding history should be that it shows us…"

[Back to Improving Ourselves]
Introduction
Many of our conflicts and difficulties are the result of our tendency to create abstractions (truth, justice, freedom, greed, hate, jealousy, ...) and then argue about them.  Is justice more important than…

We have a page about improving the world; this is the other side of the coin - if we want the world to improve, we need to get better ourselves.  It does not take a great deal of insight to see that the things I…

Paul Hazelden commented on Paul Hazelden's event Discussion: Climate Change and Social Pressure to Conform
"Mark, I also disagree with some of what Steve said - but that is rather the point!  We need to be able to listen to each other and find out where we agree, where we disagree, and why.  I agree with you: I think the scientific evidence is pretty…"

Mark Collins commented on Paul Hazelden's event Discussion: Climate Change and Social Pressure to Conform
"Also, with just 0.04% of the atmosphere being CO2, human emmissions have a much greater ability to affect a smaller percentage than they do a larger percentage. It's still a big number though, 0.04% of atmospheric CO2 is a huge amount!  However…"

"I think Steve's suggestion that there is not consensus around global warming is wrong.  For me it isn't conforming to peer pressure or of our social group to go with the scientific expertise on the…"

Paul Hazelden commented on Paul Hazelden's blog post Understanding Lucy Letby
"I agree that Letby doesn't appear to fit the expected profile: this may be helpful when the criminal justice system attempts to deal with future cases, but I don't see it is particularly relevant here.  My post is aimed at members of the public who…"

Brian Monahan commented on Paul Hazelden's blog post Understanding Lucy Letby
"I agree with a lot of this - the individual concerned appears to have many of the well-known attributes associated with a psychopathic personality (e.g absence of genuine remorse, skilled at deception and hiding motives) - which is far from…"

Over the past few days, I have met and heard about numerous people who are deeply distressed by the recent news concerning Lucy Letby, the nurse who has been convicted of killing seven babies.  As they describe it, they are partly distressed because…

For now, this is the place to record what we want by way of website functionality.
