White Biocentrism

A question from Quora: "How did people calculate square roots before computers and scientific calculators were invented?" There’s a pen-and-paper way to find square roots. Let’s say you want to find √43818.38 First, you partition the number into groups of two integers, going either way from the deci...

One of the difficulties that a species has in surviving a Great Filter could be that they don’t recognize it as a filter. They think they’re doing “good,” acting “justly,” or pursuing “wisdom,” i.e., behaving in perfect accordance with The Right Thing To Do. And they do it. And then they are gone. S...

Jim Mathias: "I have a question about the aims of Cosmoatheism though, is this a rejection of our upward drive towards perfection -- towards godhood if you like -- at its core?" As far as I know, cosmoatheism does not have a goal. Nor does it proscribe any white efforts to improve the white race, so...

White dwarfs can have habitable zones, too! A question from Quora: "Could a white dwarf have a habitable zone?" For a while, it does. Let’s consider a white dwarf having a mass of 0.54 solar masses. That’s the mass that the sun is expected to have, after it becomes a white dwarf. A 0.54 solar mass ...

A question from Quora: "Do brown dwarfs have a habitable zone?" For a while they do. Brown dwarfs have a Rosseland mean opacity of about 0.02 cm²/g at their photospheres. Brown dwarfs range in mass from 13 to 74 Jupiters’ worth of mass. The more massive brown dwarfs work best for habitable zones. So...

Dr. William Pierce was a panpsychist, which means that he believed that there was a creative force immanent in nature, an organizing principle beyond the four forces recognized in physics: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetism, and gravity. He founded a religion, Cosmotheism, in which a wea...

A brown dwarf is an object made mostly of hydrogen and helium that is more massive than a gas giant planet, but less massive than a red dwarf star. The range of masses for brown dwarf runs from 13 Jupiter masses to about 75 Jupiter masses. One Jupiter mass is equal to 1.8986e+27 kilograms. One solar...

A question from Quora: "Is an antisemite someone who seeks the truth?" Not necessarily. It is possible for an antisemite to be a liar — it isn’t the typical case, but it isn’t unheard of, either. The Jews do often speak as if antisemitic were synonymous with false, but that isn’t true. Whatever “ant...

Howdy. I'm glad that someone likes my writing. Jim is right - the book Divine Heritage was never finished. I realized that I only wanted to prove to myself that I could write if I wanted to. I just didn't want to spend a lot of time on fiction. I did write most of the first three chapters, though, a...
