  • Pearson refuses to correlate

    Continuing to read the 1905 Literary Digest… Karl Pearson, the master of stats, has a strangely familiar complaint. “At least 50 per cent of the observations made and the data collected are worthless, and no man, however able, could deduce any result from them at all. In engineer’s language we need to scrap about 50…

  • Probably meaningless

    Random meaningless observation. I stopped following and reading the ‘data-gatherers’ when they turned into Gaians and partisan political cheerleaders. They’re ferociously supporting Trump, THE MAN WHO GAVE US LOCKDOWNS AND BALLGAGS AND NEEDLES. Instead, I started following and subscribing to writers who are trying to focus on the bigger picture, which might be called ‘spiritual’…

  • Back to Hanover

    Charles continues to reactivate the natural power of the monarchy, which Elizabeth allowed to lapse. This week he chose not to visit Paris because of the riots, and instead visited Berlin, where he gave a speech in fluent German to the Parliament. This is a return to pre-1900 alliances. The Hanovers were a German family,…

  • Was it always unnecessary?

    The 2020 “virus” may or may not exist, but it is unquestionably an UNNECESSARY ENTITY. All of the “measures” prescribed by the Public Death Demons are the EXACT OPPOSITE of all precautions and preventions and cures of all diseases. 2020 is explicitly designed to cure life. Demons see life as a disease which needs to…

  • Partly trustable

    Hersh’s latest scoop is about CIA’s conflict with the Kennedys. His “retired” CIA source told the story of the Castro campaign from the CIA’s angle, which doesn’t sound right to me. The facts are well known. CIA trained and armed Castro as Our Revolutionary, but Castro broke his promise and supported his own people, then…

  • Just brand competition

    Headline: 1000 leading demons want to “pause” development of AI. The big-name demons are Elon, Woz, Andrew Yang, and WEFoid Harari. The rest of the names aren’t familiar, but MANY of them are in charge of IPOs using AI. Others are professors of “ethics”, which means eugenics. I don’t recognize any humans on the list.…

  • Why 1906?

    I’ve been fascinated by two major inflection points. The more recent one, 1946, is not mysterious at all. After FDR died, Deepstate recaptured the territory it had lost, and started to obliterate the universe. UN, WHO, NSF, NIH, CDC, NSA, CIA. All the three-letter** demons were founded in 1946 with the same demonic purpose. The…

  • Nice symmetry

    Powell is no longer entirely alone in turning us back toward a REAL HONEST COUNTRY WITH A REAL HONEST ECONOMY. Peculiarly enough, the Biden administration is taking genuine steps to bring our stuff back from China. Via Reuters, the administration is using the Defense Production Act to spend $50 million on incentives for PC board…

  • Input

    In two of today’s brief items I made the same point without trying. Input matters more than output. This isn’t true of everything, but it’s a view we tend to skip when analyzing social, economic, and physical quantities. When we discuss “freedom” and “rights”, we concentrate on what people are saying. We neglect the equally…

  • Receiving end is more interesting

    Sammy has now been charged with bribing Chinese regulators along with US regulators. The giving end of this bribe is unsurprising. Sammy is a professional criminal. Everything he does is slimy. The receiving end is a bit more interesting in terms of UNNECESSARY ENTITIES. Our writers on “both” “sides” constantly emphasize that China is Communist.…

  • Using the trustifying rule

    Taibbi received a personal visit from an IRS agent, which is unusual. Normally the IRS sends paper letters to bill you or request corrections. Here’s a good application of my rule for trustifying. Follow personal experience. When I’ve been observing or dealing with an entity for a while, how often has the entity disagreed with…

  • Soros vs Israel

    Various sources are noting that the current protests in Israel are quite openly sponsored by Soros and WEF. Yuval Harari, WEF’s chief galaxybrain and an Israeli, is out front calling for revolution. I can’t parse the alleged motives of this Color Revolution. It seems to be focusing on Bibi’s attempt to get rid of his…

  • On the other clutch…

    I don’t want to spoil the clean outrage in previous item with a footnote. Still, there is a partial silver lining. AI gathers up and reproduces ACCEPTABLE writers and artists. AI unsees unpersons. Most fiction writers deserve to be snatched and copied, since they stopped writing original work at least 30 years ago. They’ve been…

    Looks like the bitcoin game is in the mopup stage. After chipping away all the supporting players, the regulators finally went after Binance, the main engine of bitcoin. Like GM, Binance has been buying up and knocking down its competitors for many years. Time for an upshift in the killcount. The next gear is AI,…

  • Bond gender

    We’re confused about bonds in the same way that we’re confused about gender. A bond is a contract with a specific time interval. You buy it, let the seller use your money for a specific time, and expect a periodic rental fee from the seller. At the end of the fixed time interval you sell…
