Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory,

Of His Flesh the mystery sing; Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King When what is ordered by an authority is opposed to the object for which that authority was constituted, ... not only is there no obligation to obey the authority, but one is obliged to disobey it, as did the holy martyrs who suffered death rather than obey the impious commands of tyrants.

I found out in today's class that the digital ID was introduced in Ukraine five years ago, and if you don't sign up to fight the Russian army, then your bank account is closed, so no supermarket for you. Makes it very easy to starve political dissent. Remember this when Keir Starmer tells you that you or your son or your daughter needs a digital ID, as you or they might find themselves in a similar position in a few months or years. If you know anyone in the UK who sells food for sats (on chain or on lightning), please tell me who. I want to make sure I am ready to refuse the digital ID, as I don't fancy being unbanked and unable to buy food for my family.

'Well, even you must know that cities are governed either as tyrannies, democracies, or aristocracies. Of course, I said. And that the government in each has the power... Well, each government frames laws for its own advantage, a democracy for democrats, a tyranny for tyrants, and so on. In so legislating, the rulers represent this - their own advantage - as justice for their subjects, and anyone who breaks their laws is punished as a lawbreaker and a criminal. Therefore I contend that justice is the same thing in every state: the advantage of the established ruling class. And since that presumably is the stronger class, anyone with a brain can calculate that justice is the same thing everywhere - the advantage of the stronger.' (The Republic, Book 1)

Ion spinner under partial vacuum; if you suck a bit of air out, it spins faster and the plasma tail gets longer, but past a certain point, there aren't enough ions left in the vicinity for it to spin.

'One path only is left for us to speak of, namely, that It (existence) is. In it are very many tokens that what is, is uncreated and indestructible; for it is complete, immovable, and without end. Nor was it ever, nor will it be; for now it is, all at once, a continuous one. For what kind of origin for it wilt thou look for? In what way and from what source could it have drawn its increase? I shall not let thee say nor think that it came from what is not; for it can neither be thought nor uttered that anything is not. And, if it came from nothing, what need could have made it arise later rather than sooner? Therefore it must either be altogether or be not at all.'

Anaximander, who may have been the teacher of Pythagoras, was the student of Thales, our previous philosopher (scroll down). All these pre-Socratic philosophers took a keen interest in chemistry (the elements). All the early scientists stood on the shoulders of these Ancient Greeks.

'What is infinite is something other than the elements, and from it the elements arise.'

Nothing is more ancient than God, for He was never created; nothing more beautiful than the world, it is the work of that same God; nothing is more active than thought, for it flies over the whole universe; nothing is stronger than necessity, for all must submit to it. (Thales)
