The Reluctant Guru

Friday, October 30, 2009. Is specialization a bad or a good thing? Recently I've been reading The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives. By Leonard Mlodinow - an interesting book partly about probability theory and partly about how our psychological makeup fools us into seeing patterns and purpose in a world where a lot of stuff just happens by accident.

The Reluctant Guru: 08/14/2005 - 08/21/2005

http://www.reluctantguru.com/2005_08_14_archive.html

Saturday, August 20, 2005. The World Disappears Behind Me. The world changes behind me. When I go back to the places I've been and the places I've lived, things are changed or gone. The further back in my life I go, the greater the changes. Here was a house I lived in when I was five. Now a condo building stands in its place and the double oak tree that used to have a trapeze hanging from it is gone. A valley is filled in and covered with houses. It should be preserved alive, shouldn't it? New Research: ...

Thursday, March 27, 2003. People in my profession are always saying, "If you wanta be successful, you gotta be a guru! So you're supposed to write books and articles, speak for conferences and business groups, and go around acting like you know what you're talking about. So I do all that stuff. But the truth is I really just want to run and hide. Danbury, Conn., USA. Posted by Al Bredenberg @ 11:22 AM. Links to this post. View my complete profile. Is specialization a bad or a good thing?

Friday, December 30, 2005. Some Arguments Against Intelligent Design. There's no God because bad things happen. And I'm not open to any explanation why.). There's no God because nature includes bad designs. According to my preconceptions about engineering.). There's no need for God because evolution explains everything anyway. As long as you can make up enough 'just-so' stories.). God's existence can't be proven. As long as you only accept a certain kind of narrowly-defined proof.). Links to this post.

The Reluctant Grownup

Wednesday, November 10, 2010. No, Really. I'm ok. What is God telling me? And why did He tell it to YOU? My poor sister has had to listen to me complain about "all these dummies butting into my reproductive business! I know that my family means well, but I'm a little touchy about this. So I imagine that it was with some trepidation that my sister tried to inconspicuously check in with me, to see how I was doing, so she could report back to family. Shortly thereafter, Hell broke loose. Poor JJ - everytime...

The Reluctant Grownup | Growing old gracelessly.

July 31, 2015. I’m taking a week off, and going backpacking for part of it. I literally will be unreachable for a while, lost among the trees. I AM SO EXCITED. This is so healthy. I wish I could leave now. On my last day in Brazil, I sat on the beach with a book for hours. I read “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and bought a rainbow-colored sundress from a beach vendor, who forced me, as part of the price of my purchase, to learn how to say umbrella in Portuguese. It was a good day. July 17, 2015. Craig...
