Why the Chinese are smarter than us
They smoke. We used to be smarter. Now we’re dumb, thanks to Deepstate.

Bloomberg continues to amaze
Bloomberg continues to amaze. In this piece they conclude that Congress is banning Tiktok because Congress wants to block ordinary Americans from talking with each other, and because Congress wants to ruin small businesses so Facebook and Google can own the country. Bloomberg thinks the “law” will probably fail in the courts, but it will…

Nice conclusion
Unsurprising but nice: A British court finds that Craig Wright’s claim to be Satoshi is false. Several of his accomplices are leaving the sinking ship. Wright is just a suer. Nothing else. He made big money from a pre-bitcoin fraud, and has been using his fortune to run an endless series of mostly losing lawsuits.…

One specific fact
When I read Naomi Wolf’s latest poetic lament on our modern hell, I wrote a quick passionate assent to her main point. She was saying that demons certainly exist. I wrote that demons have always been about 1% of the population, but before 1980 they were kept in asylums and prisons. Now they occupy all…

Reprint on Perfect Mitt
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2012 REPRINT: Trying to figure out why I hate Mitt so ferociously, when he’s by no means the only candidate of the Wall Street Mafia. Both Newt and Obama are Goldman slaves, and I don’t hate them in the same way. Basically it’s…

Exception to the trend
The sort-of-trend noted in previous item is definitely not universal. Some establishment sources are still fully locked into official lunacy. Yahoo Finance is among the worst. A couple years ago they seemed to be trying out reality, but they gave up and returned to total Deepstate. Nothing but the latest swindles and tyranny. In this…

More of the oddity
Lately I’ve been noticing an oddity, which may not be an actual trend. The official myth of “the economy” has been based on strictly fake and fictional “numbers” at least since Nixon. If we defined unemployment the same way we did in the 30s, the current unemployment would be the same as the 30s. We…

Converse
I’ve made the same observation about long-distance communication and languages, but for some reason didn’t fully assemble the two observations. Time to assemble. = = = = = Long-distance communication systems are always built by conquering armies and stock swindlers. The Chappe system was the archetype. It was built by the globalist “science”-godded tyrants of…

Random spam note
Now that Super Tuesday is over, the political “election” spam has dried up, and old-fashioned criminal spam is starting to regrow. Click-seekers try to elicit my passwords and credit card numbers by asking for renewals or verifications of subscriptions. One consistent aspect of these click-seekers is their total disconnect from my actual habits. They constantly…

Terrible precedent
The Supremes overturned a couple of similar findings by lower federal “courts” relating to “free speech”. Both cases are about blocking on Twitter or Facebook, not about real speech. The lower courts decided that local officials could block responses at their social media accounts. The Supremes decided that officials CAN’T block. (Note: this back-and-forth wasn’t…

Can’t argue with that!
Bloomberg writes about Cathie Wood’s takeover of St Petersburg. She moved her inverse disinvestment firm to St Pete a couple years ago, and now is doing some seriously good work in EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION. = = = = = START QUOTE: …The curriculum she and her team developed is being taught to sixth graders across Pinellas…

Good sign of sanity
Geologists are showing some sense. = = = = = START QUOTE: Earlier this month, geologists voted down a proposal to give the years since 1950 a geological name, the Anthropocene Epoch. The vote at the subcommission of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) was 12 to 4, with 2 abstentions. = = = =…

Why should we care?
Religion News Service discusses the dechurching of the Yankee world, and asks what will happen to all those buildings? Allegedly we would care if 100k libraries shut down or 100k schools shut down, but we don’t care about 100k churches. All of those things happened in 2020. Churches did nothing to protect their people from…

Timeless
A timeless Twitter thread from Bhattacharya. Once upon a time, I thought it reasonable for public health to expect not to be contradicted. You know, *smoking is bad for you” and the like. But that idea was based on public health telling the truth about science. Post covid era, my trust they will do that…

Another old pattern
A long time ago I observed a pattern among blogs. Announcing a big start usually leads to nothing much. Announcing a dramatic Goodbye usually leads to continued work. Real productive action starts abruptly without any Hello and stops suddenly without any Goodbye. Now I’m seeing the same thing in Substack, at least on the starting…
