Bleak and Desolate Environments often Promote Deep and Complex Thinking

Shôn Ellerton, November 19, 2023 Low-stimulus environments can accentuate the senses and promote higher planes of thought and abstraction. But why? I’ve always had this strange and curious fascination with the bleak and the desolate. Perhaps it stemmed from my childhood, around the age of ten or so. During the…

The Left’s Obsession with Posturing to Indigenous Activism

Shôn Ellerton, November 14, 2023 Addressing the unhealthy obsession by the Left with posturing to indigenous activism and closing the gap. Back in January 26, 2008, when I first arrived to settle in Australia from a bleak winter’s day in England, I found myself walking over Pyrmont Bridge spanning the…

Shôn Ellerton, October 8, 2023 From incomprehensible timepieces to pain barriers, I run through some of my observations within the weird world of lucid dreaming. It was back in 2017 when I first wrote about lucid dreaming, and now, I would like to elaborate a little further on some of…

The Leaf Blower Man Cometh!

Shôn Ellerton, September 5, 2023 Finding peace and quiet in a suburban neighbourhood with barking dogs and rampant leaf blowing men is not always easy. The quest to find peace and serenity in an urban neighbourhood is one of the most challenging ones I have come to learn. And this…

Silicon Valley is a Hellhole, Unless You’re Gilded

Shôn Ellerton, September 3, 2023 I wonder how many people are genuinely happy living in such places like Silicon Valley? Just southwest of San Jose, lies one of the most expensive areas in California, if not the whole of the United States. Situated at the southern end of Silicon Valley…

My Fascination with Decaying Seaside Resorts

Shôn Ellerton, August 23, 2023 Strange how those seaside resorts battered by the elements throughout the years share that odd sense of being in a time warp. That salty sea air mixed with the smell of creosote on wooden piers and the frameworks of ancient rickety roller coasters. That raucous…

Losing My Best Friend to God

Shôn Ellerton, August 9, 2023 My upsetting experience of losing one of my best friends when he ‘found’ God in the most extreme of ways. Have you ever come across an old friend only to find out that he or she ‘found’ God? Well, I can tell you, I certainly…

Never Ever Think of Using AI To Conjure Up A Loved One

Shôn Ellerton, July 19, 2023 The darkest and most nefarious use of AI is the potential to converse with someone who passed away. Artificial intelligence. I’ve written about it before stating that true artificial intelligence is being fearful of one’s death. That was way back in 2016. However, in the…

Why All Professionals Need Business Cards

Shôn Ellerton, July 18, 2023 Ditch the clumsy ceremony of exchanging contact details with a smartphone and use a business card instead. A long time ago, as a kid, I remember frequenting a local steakhouse nearby to where we lived in Colorado Springs. It was called the Trail Dust Steakhouse…

The Death of Affirmative Action Looms Near

Shôn Ellerton, July 7, 2023 We are one step closer in eradicating the baneful existence of unfair, racist, and unconstitutional practice of affirmative action or positive discrimination. “Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon…
