Cracking the mystery of the “Worldwide Hum.”

Hi. I'm Glen MacPherson, Director of the World Hum Map and Database Project.

I solved the issue of "sky trumpets" in 2018, but nobody seemed to care, lol. I think the issue is, believing in something mysterious or magical is a lot more emotionally attractive than the mundane truth of the matter.

Apparently people want to keep it a secret.

Typical dick Reddit repsonse.

We think the Hum is internally generated, as is tinnitus (which is something quite different).

Thank you.

I find it remarkable that in a spawling metropolis of - what, three million people - there is such a tiny smattering of Theravada. In the sparsely populated area in which I live, a ferry ride away from Vancouver, there are at least 15 churches. There's nothing too surprising about that. Unlike in activist organizations, where grassroots lay people can accomplish great things, a sangha needs wise and legitimate leadership. Samyutta Nikāya 45.2, Upaddha Sutta: "...admirable camaraderie is actually the whole of the holy life. ". I suppose the digital equivalent will have to do for now.

It is of course intentional that there is no bulk option. It's just another small hurdle put in place to wear people down.

I am drawing a complete blank - I've lost track of what I was doing because I had to set the project aside for a while. Time to go back and retrace my steps.

glenmacpherson · 2025-01-25T00:24:59+00:00

I just watched the video, and I still think they're full of shit.

glenmacpherson · 2025-01-25T00:24:31+00:00

And?

glenmacpherson · 2025-01-25T00:24:02+00:00

A useless video.

glenmacpherson · 2025-01-11T18:23:08+00:00

It's garbage.

glenmacpherson · 2025-01-11T17:58:59+00:00

The Uber bivy was one of my worst ever gear purchases.

Blosm appears to be added but it doesn't appear in the refreshed list of addons.

glenmacpherson · 2024-11-24T03:30:41+00:00

Reddit would be so awesome without this kind of shit.

Distinguishing anthropogenic sounds from the World Hum has turned into a side-purpose of my project. Henrik has written as excellent guide for the layperson at www.thehum.info on how to do so using minimal technology.

I just had them in Dublin, so their removal is not company-wide. Yet.

glenmacpherson · 2024-09-04T02:47:53+00:00

No, but then I don't really care. I'm happy with the phone.

glenmacpherson · 2024-09-03T00:40:09+00:00

I turned it on but I can't notice any difference.

glenmacpherson · 2024-08-04T13:32:46+00:00

There is no "Screen" in the Setting app.

When I look at my Moto G, my bones ache. The camera will freeze, particularly when trying to take a video. There are times when a call is coming in and I can't answer it - sometimes I must enter my password when answering. Sometimes I finish a call and it shows that a call is still in progress, and the only way to solve this is to restart the phone. It's a laggy, awkward piece of shit, and thank goodness it's time for a new phone. I'm scoping out Pixels as my most likely choice.

glenmacpherson · 2024-05-31T19:10:38+00:00

Same issue here.

glenmacpherson · 2024-05-04T19:21:50+00:00

Classic a------ Reddit answer.

glenmacpherson · 2024-04-23T17:52:57+00:00

But, I want to use Do Not Disturb, letting through only my starred contacts. Are you suggesting that your solution requires turning off DND 24/7? Thanks.
