Homo stupidus economicus: not just a "prime ape",
but Earth's Greatest Ape!
Notwithstanding my
attempt to put a humorous spin on it, my intention is to draw attention
to some very serious biological and social science: the application -
much neglected - of Darwin's theory of evolution and human origins to
the social sciences.

Friends of Alternative (anarchistic) Open Source
Society
Or, for those who prefer a more irreverent statement of
purpose: The Bollocks to Britain! (and all nation states)
Society.
"Anarchistic" in the literal, wholly positive, sense of "without rulers" (i.e. grassroots-democratic), not in the sense of lawless and chaotic. "Open Source" as in the spirit of cooperation (as opposed to exploitation), fairness, honesty and humanity which characterizes the Open Source movement, applied to society (including the body politic and economy) as a whole. |

Native Europeans
Description:
This is a
group for those who want to celebrate, cultivate and sometimes indulge
their own and other native Europeans' ancestry, culture(s) and
history(s) without intimidating, alienating or giving offense to
non-native Europeans or people of mixed ancestry.

Nuclear non-proliferation: the way
forward
All the arguments put forward by the British and French
governments for retaining their own nuclear capability can be (and are) also put
forward by other governments (Iran, for example), the rejection of which by
Britain and France is blatant hypocrisy.
If there is to be any hope of curbing nuclear proliferation the British and French governments must work towards placing their own national nuclear deterrents under international (perhaps EU or pan European) control. |

The role of MONEY in man's continuing Darwinian
struggle
The role of MONEY (the most versatile form of power) in
man's continuing Darwinian struggle for survival and advantage, now fatally
misplaced, in the artificial socio-economic environment of modern
civilization.

The MORAL HIGH GROUND in man's continuing Darwinian
struggle
The importance of the "moral high ground" in man's

in the artificial socio-economic environment of modern
civilization.

The purpose of Facebook
The potential of Facebook is mind-boggling,
but if its PRIMARY purpose is (or becomes) to make as much
money as possible for its shareholders (which, let's face it, IS the underlying
principle of free-market capitalism), it will not, cannot possibly, realise this
potential . . . .

Celebrating the Sunturn (and a new post-Christian Era)
Description: In ancient northern Europe, no one knew why the seasons
changed and the days got progressively shorter and colder as the Sun sank lower
and lower in the sky, as its daily rising wandered ever further south along the
eastern horizon, until finally – hopefully! – it would stop, “TURN”, and begin
to head north again.

The problem with advertising . . . .
Description: The problem with advertising - or rather, with the
multi-billion dollar advertising industry as a whole - is that it forms a
central pillar of our inherently unjust, inhumane and unsustainable free-market
capitalist economy . . . .
The image (in case you are wondering) is of "Poison Ivy": very attractive, but deadly! |

Not the BBC - but GDB (Grassroots Democratic Broadcasting)!
Description: At the moment the ONLY choice we have
is between state ("public service") broadcasting and commercial
(advertising-based) broadcasting. This group is dedicated to creating an
alternative to both these.

My ethnicity is not "white British", but "native
British"
As a native Englishman, Briton and European living in my native land
and continent, I find it very irritating (in fact, quite offensive),
when required to state my ethnicity, having to refer to myself as
"white" this or "white" that . . . .

| A place for prejudice Description: Human beings are inherently and incurably full prejudice about virtually everything, including RACE. |
