“What is [x]”, part 2

I am very cynical about how Matt Walsh honestly and genuinely wen around looking for “truth”. In all his interviews, it is abundantly clear he did not give time for his interviewees time to prepare and represent proper and cited material for counterarguments or even formulate a proper argument in order to best represent their…

“Too Good”
“Too Good” I wonder why this often turns up in conversations I have. That someone is somehow “too good.” What does it even mean? It sounds terribly like it is intended to put down someone’s personality by highlighting naiveté; like there is a direct correlation between goodness and such. I would not call a person…

Fiction as a Scalpel for Reality
The world we live in has its own myth; myth does not mean something which is intrinsically false, but in the sense held by Roland Barthes, a means of signification that leads or takes over reality. The myth of the world can be divided into fact and fiction – the actual, what has been experienced,…

Conservative entities, traditionalists, will hunker down and insist that “their belief” is the only belief system that should be espoused by the system,…

I really do not want to be “that guy.” But does it not come across as bizarre that certain problematic areas in Malta are miserably under-patrolled? Even for those who are, police intervention seems thoroughly laid back and geared toward minimizing direct involvement as much as possible. I do not desire my country becomes a…

Beings Of Glass Shards
Following the death of Polish student Paulina Dembska and the mother and daughter victims Lourdes and Angele Bonnici from Ħal Għaxaq, the inevitable and justified outcry against domestic violence especially that perpetrated against women escalated to the extent where the local parliament has toyed with the idea of introducing femicide as an offense.
