Blog note: less referencing

I started this blog in 2008 (I think…) but since then it hasn’t quite developed as I would have liked it to. The problem is that I do not have enough time to make the articles as ‘scientific’ as I would like to. What I mean by this is that I wanted all of the articles to be fully referenced with relatively reliable sources. However, this creates several problems. The first, as I mentioned, is time. It takes a lot of time to find the sources and it significantly slows down the whole article writing process. Meanwhile, the world keeps spinning, time flies by and the problems I discuss continue to worsen. I have come to the conclusion that I simply do not have enough time to source the articles as I would like and as perhaps I should. Also, I don’t recall Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto containing a bibliography. If he didn’t source, then why should I? Newspaper articles are rarely referenced either. Also, sometimes the evidence is not actually available; for example, if I want to write that Chinese people have more neotenous faces that German people, while I am highly confident from personal observations that this is true, I cannot find a reliable source to confirm it. What do I do? Sometimes reliable sources either do not exist or are very difficult, if not impossible, for me to obtain. I also do not have the capability to perform scientific studies myself to prove or disprove such things. I have therefore decided to start writing this blog again whilst abandoning the referencing standards I had set myself. I apologize for this.
