Shannon about Buffett
Most published comments about Buffett or by Buffett are tautologous and non-Shannon. No information. OF COURSE you do better when you find the right stuff and stick with it. If you don’t understand this point you’re too dumb to breathe. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is the hallmark of CIVILIZATION. Innovative Disruption is…

Why India wins
I’ve been hammering these points: We’re fucked because we’ve been lying about caste for 200 years. We substitute all sorts of other shit like IQ and hard work and ideology. Those variables aren’t entirely irrelevant but the base constant of human activity is CASTE. Caste is innate and permanent. The distribution of castes occasionally shifts…

Close but no pierogi.
Via UncommonDescent, a new hypothesis about human intelligence is generally wiser and more ‘non-partisan’ than the usual Darwin crap. The article acknowledges that brain size is not the major variable, but still clings to the energy-consumption model. The discovery of fire made us smarter because cooked food is easier to digest. First, easier digestion DOES…

Galling
If “justice” had even the slightest microremnant of meaning, the “virus” torturers, including all of their MD concentration camp guards, would be executed in a massive mega-Nuremberg. These demons are precisely identical to the Kraut Nazis of earlier decades. Not analogous, identical. At first I dreamed of a new Nuremberg, but soon realized it’s physically…

Naive or clever?
Listening to discussion of last year’s NYTimes brouhaha over publishing an op-ed by HORRIBLE REPOOFLICAN Tom Cotton. First thought: I wonder what Oliver Holmes would think? He wrote the “legal” test for boundaries on freedom of the press. Inciting a riot is outside the bounds. This little dispute was about the Holmes test. The Repooflican…

Good leth
Question seen on Reddit: Could an Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent God know all the digits of the number Pi? Or even the square root of 2? Kind of a silly question, but since to the best of our knowledge those numbers are irrational, is it possible for the above being to know all of their decimal…

One picture
From one of the Philly fentanyl videos… The modern era in one picture. Our jobs have been offshored, we’re torn apart by media, our brains have been eaten up by the drugs prescribed by “doctors”, we’re paralyzed and nonfunctional, but by God we won’t catch that horrible VIRUS which might give us the sniffles for…

What’s the diff?
Perusing some of those old computer mags again after thinking of Weizenbaum and Eliza, I noticed holograms as a new and promising development. I remember my first look at a real laser-viewed hologram in 1966. It was on display** in K-State’s physics building. In the ’80s holograms were part of Big Entertainment, seen in rock…

Mismeasure
Continuing from the bank comparison in Math is Pope. It would be better to say that bitcoiners blindly trust arithmetic, not math. They don’t understand how numbers are used and misused, in real measurement or in programming. When comparing their Holy Grail with the Horrible Establishment, they blindly use the fake numbers provided by the…

Old joke, new joke
Old joke: A man who apologizes when he’s wrong is wise. A man who apologizes when he’s right is married. New rendition of the old joke by AI.

Catching onto the magsman
Liron Shapira is puzzled by Balaji, the top galaxybrain bully. Balaji isn’t a mystery, he’s a classic conman type. I’ve mentioned him in two different references. Now that I look at both together, I realize they’re both British and both from the same decade. (1) Definition from the 1874 dictionary of British slang: Magsman, a…

Math is pope (reprint).
Naomi Wolf writes a long and scholarly piece on the 2020 holocaust. She believes that the uniform unison action of ALL governments at ALL levels could only happen because we’ve abandoned the single Abrahamic god and resumed the old poly-gods. This is backwards. Those old gods were the exact opposite of uniform and unison. They…

Royalty on both sides of the ledger
Publishers normally pay royalties to an author. This time a publisher LISTENED to royalties. Camilla made a speech calling on Demon Puffin to publish Dahl’s work as written. Amazingly they obeyed. They will publish the real work along with their fake work. Last month Charles kicked out the British end of the Epstein Blackmail Factory.…

Impressive video of ?quake?
Speaking of quakes and inverse thunder and such… Many people heard one or two loud booms around here tonight. I’ve been awake but didn’t hear anything. I did hear some familiar rumbling, probably the neighbor rolling his trash bin. Spokane News asked, and one of the commenters caught it on security camera. See Triston Rumpel’s…
