Schwellenbach reprint
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = REPRINT FROM 2015 Now that I’ve grown more familiar with Emerson, this feels like a good time to transcribe Schwellenbach’s 1938 speech fully and exactly (except that I substituted ‘nobody’ for ‘noone’, which I can’t stand.) In my previous partial transcription I wasn’t sure…

Cold and hard
As the drug-based eugenics campaign continues, the non-drugged citizens are turning COLD AND HARD, and I don’t blame them. Ordinary citizens are tired of the CARNAGE. This response is growing fast. After you’ve spent years and years following all the rules, “voting” for the “right” candidates and paying taxes, and all the candidates break all…

Random stupid thought of the day
My view of religion is pretty much the standard ‘watchmaker deist’. There’s plenty of evidence for a designer of living things. Evolution simply can’t explain the structures and functions of life, though some form of evolution does occur, perhaps only in the epigenes. There’s no evidence at all of maintenance or customer service by the…

Fun to watch
Journalists incapable of thinking, part 4368549678578758347854378. A “journalist” monster pleaded for public support so they can continue smashing and torturing the public. The public uniformly and unanimously responded FUCK YOU. = = = = = In fairness, most of the “independents” are no better. The Trump cult and the Biden cult are equivalent. Outside of…

Not a revelation as usual
According to whistleblowers Google’s AI isn’t “neutral” but reflects the biases of the designers. SHOCKEDSHOCKEDSHOCKED!!!!!! Jesus Christ. You don’t need a whistleblower to “reveal” this. Every real programmer or record-keeper or accountant knows that a program reflects the preferences of the designer. This is especially true of models and simulations, no matter how complex. Any…

Not just fire
An article pointed by MSN discussed a new trend in apt buildings. Most US codes require two stairways, for fire access among other things. Supposedly fire prevention is so good now that we can build cheaper with only one stairway. First, that’s nonsense. Second, the other things are important. Here’s my floor plan of Grandma’s…

Superdemon finally fired
Superdemon Lutz, head of the Spokane County Public Genocide Office, was fired for mysterious reasons in the middle of the holocaust. I stopped following the details, but assumed he was fired for being ineffectively evil, because nobody is ever fired for being TOO evil. Turns out he WAS fired for being too evil, which makes…

Perpetual puzzle
This AMC dealer training strip proves that the Hudson fail-safe braking system was still being made in ’57, the last year of the brand. (Books and articles are vague and inconsistent on this fact.) I don’t expect any regard for safety from the big three, but AMC was actively SELLING this feature up to the…

We are famileeeeeee
The Trump scampaign continues sending me those weird lovey-dovey emails. Now they want me to help Trump keep his Trump Tower. Ping! Cults are substitute families. Gangs are substitute families. Trump is a born and trained gangster. The Trump cult/gang is a family. In old movies, the inherited family farm is threatened by Snidely Whiplash…

Both right
Pointless rant, triggered by dueling headlines. Fox: Leftist media peddles another anti-Trump hoax MSNBC: Far-right media peddles another anti-Biden hoax They’re both right. Media peddles hoaxes and lies. Nothing else. That’s the whole story. The alleged “independents” are no better. Taibbi peddles information “leaked” by Deepstate, which has carefully edited what it “leaks”. Taibbi seems…

Why the consistent hate?
I don’t understand why everyone is required to hate realtors. This article is a good example, but the tendency is universal. Realtors settled a stupid lawsuit that accused them of price-fixing because they charge a commission on sales. Everyone is acting like the 6% commission is the sole problem with the housing market. Houses cost…

Even the Austinites are rebelling
Ted Gioia is enough of an insider that he gets invited to their events. He reports that even the wild-eyed Innovative Disruptors at the annual Austin SXSW thing are tired of AI. When a speaker spewed the standard Effective Altruism pitch for AI, promising to enrich the rich and cull the Negative Externalities more effectively…

WOW.
Just after writing previous item about the top-level druggies, this Compact article popped into my inbox. It’s the complete history of Deepstate’s drug project, starting in the 1920s with Margaret Mead, who also founded Deepstate’s Gaian project in 1975. Several segments: = = = = = START QUOTE: Breen’s protagonists were far from alone. He…

Jail mode thoughts
A powerful and heartfelt comment in Spokane News. = = = = = START QUOTE: I don’t think anyone is laughing or joking but after 40 in a weekend everyone is becoming more desensitized to these situations. The police aren’t allowed to arrest people blantingly using drugs in plain sight, which typically is the start…

Natural desistance?
Random thought triggered by Desistance, probably wrong. I wonder if we’re seeing a sort of natural Desistance from government. This year MANY young and competent and less partisan people are leaving Congress and leaving the federal bureaucracy. Each of them has expressed disgust and weariness with the utterly pointless institution. This will purify the monstrosity.…
