The Lord's Choice(s)

I intend to explore Scripture and reflect on questions about God's choices, one at a time, as they come to mind. These questions may seem rather childish. Most of them will probably be recollections of questions I used as justifications when, as a child, I resisted my mother and...

Saying 'Hi'. What goes around comes around

This proposal presents, under the rather grand name of “hypotheses,” observations drawn from a brief experiment I conducted about 12 years ago and my experiences with neighbors. Before uploading it to Zenodo, I did a quick AI-assisted search of scholarship on “Saying Hi to Strang...

Older People Hit The Waves: Computational Simulation based on Equations of Motion

This simulation note was written to understand, explain, and potentially predict, through physics, the position older people occupy in our society as portrayed in television dramas. To this end, it extracts the age groups of older characters from digitally accessible and readable...

Projecting the Next Paradigm in Pubic Administration

This short note carries forward a wish expressed in Public Administration Revisited: Government as a Paradigmatic State. I originally intended to test the hypotheses empirically rather than merely present them. However, errors occurred, including ChatGPT becoming unresponsive, an...

The Hundred-Year-Old Youth

The point of departure is Isa 65:20. I asked a question concerning what he said, and set up a couple of hypotheses for testing. This note looks like a research proposal, which is exactly what I intended to be. Thanks.

Value Rationality, AI, Beholders

This proposal tests whether AI both facilitates and threatens value rationality, and whether its effects differ for parties directly involved and Beholders. It combines analysis of existing work with controlled comparisons of AI participation in value chains.

When AI Takes Charges of Humans

This report compares the development of contemporary AI with four Planet of the Apes films in which nonhuman beings acquire human-like intelligence, agency, social organization, and institutions. Rise and Dawn serve as formation stages from enhanced cognition toward individual an...

Rationality. A Global Survey

This study explores a semantic space formed by concepts historically used across linguistic and cultural traditions in connection with judgment, deliberation, wisdom, reason, grounds, appropriate conduct, and reliable cognition. The final analysis compares 63 items across 31 sema...

Jesus Has Come. What Means to Me

The question began with biblical passages read in a Sunday sermon in 2026: Nehemiah 9:10-24, Ephesians 1:17-20, and John 16:12-15. The question and reflections written by the author at that time are organized as a hypothesis system and tested. The test proceeds first through the...

Over the past three months, while using Google AI Mode, Gemini, and ChatGPT for word explanations, short writing, ordinary conversations, working papers, and other tasks, I collected questions that arose from my own experience and organized them with the help of ChatGPT. I ended...

Revisiting a Public Administration Framework Developed in 1989 More Than Three Decades Later

The data for this study were collected from public officials in 1989, and the study was presented in 1997. In 2026, I have taken out these old data and this framework once again. The reason for revisiting them now is simple. I wanted to examine how well the questions framed in th...
