Rererereprint on natural law
Reprint triggered by focusing on the necessity of paper cash. When there’s no way of paying debts outside of Altman’s tyranny, there’s no feedback system, no equilibrium. Natural Law, whether expressed in genes or societies, is all about equilibrium and equipoise. Every cell is meant to work in its own way, every cell gets nourished…

Good work by Ireland!
Via Solari Report: Ireland has passed a law requiring all businesses to take cash along with other forms of payment. = = = = = START QUOTE: Until now, Ireland’s contract law merely has required that cash be accepted if it is to settle a debt. A legal loophole allows businesses to refuse cash as…

1918, 1957, 1989
Old tech journals often tell you things that weren’t mentioned in the media or our fake school “history” texts. I learned about our 1918 invasion and occupation of Russia from reading old Signal Corps journals at GoogleBooks. Looking up info on my latest tech history obsession, I found two later Signal Corps magazines, one from…

One-stop shop
History Today tells how medieval scribes adapted to the onset of printing by reusing and expanding their existing materials, tools and skills. = = = = = START QUOTE: At its height Oxford’s book trade enjoyed the establishment of Dominican and Franciscan friaries in need of books for university activities and preaching, and an early…

Reprint on tenure
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2020 REPRINT: Some people are starting to catch on to a chronic long-standing problem, which has become acute and GENOCIDAL in the current fake “emergency”. Retired officials and professors and doctors have been speaking truth openly on all the fake “emergencies” from “9/11”…

This is ridiculous!!!!
Several years ago I paid for a subscription to Academia.edu, an online clearing house for academic papers. Most of my own publications are there, but I was using the service to do tech history pieces on Islamic astronomy and such. After I used up those sources I stopped paying and tried to unsubscribe. Academia.edu won’t…

Fish in a barrel shooting themselves
Sometimes it’s just too easy! Headline seen at Eurekalert: Populist parties choose divisive issues on purpose, researchers say You don’t need research, and you don’t need to specify populist. The SOLE PURPOSE of EVERY political party is to create false division and avoid real problems. Ockham and Machiavelli warned us against this trick 500 years…

Auto supertrivia
Just noticed an odd exception to an often stated trivium. I’ve written it many times, and others including Chrysler itself have said it. Chrysler products have always had hydraulic brakes. There were some exceptions in the first few years. Walter Chrysler started his company in ’24 by taking over Maxwell and Chalmers. In ’24 and…

WPA and culture reprint
Linked in previous, reprint from 2010. = = = = = START REPRINT: I’ve been noticing something lately while re-reading those wonderful WPA Writers Project books. Example from Oklahoma, p 388: WYNONA is at the approximate center of the old Osage culture, and for a long time ancient customs and rites could best be studied…

Compete by tradition, not by innovation
People who should know better are pushing Innovative Disruption. Each city and country “must” compete to enrich Sam Altman and destroy civilization. NO. Competing to make Sam Altman richer will make you poorer and lose everything that makes you special. If you want to improve your OWN city or country, boost and expand your OWN…

“Election”
Locally, fucking urbanist Zappone won again. He will return to his usual idiocy now that the “election” is over. I’m disappointed but not surprised. This “city” has been incompetent and corrupt as long as I’ve lived here, and was probably the same before. I supported and donated to Zappone’s opponent Chris Savage, and I’m NOT…

Why so vague?
Why do companies always put a misleading warning on envelopes containing bills or invoices? The envelope says Do not discard! Contains information about your utility bill. or IMPORTANT! Information regarding your medical plan! Information usually means updates to the Terms And Conditions or increases in rates. I don’t need to know those things. If they…

Not sure, sure
An interesting thought from Rushfield of the Ankler. = = = = = START RUSHFIELD: Among the many downsides of a presiding meritocratic elite is the takeover of the arts by a very narrow strata of individuals with a common pool of interests and obsessions. In literature, what that has meant is that portrayals of…

Origin story of the Tech Tyrants
Reprinting and expanding this item from two years ago because it fills in the origin story for monsters like Altman and Elon and Ellison. They’re the third generation of Tech Psychopaths, and they’re implementing the agenda gradually developed by the first two generations. Bezos is the LITERAL third generation, since his own grandpa helped to…

Spot the bot
Two signs of computer-driven fakery: 1. When you see an exponential pattern you know it’s done by computers, not humans. The real world doesn’t do exponential. The real world follows either a sine wave driven by sun and moon, or a tanh shape driven by life. Both are somewhat obscured by random noise, but usually…
