Is there a soul damage meter?
Continuing with good and bad assumptions… At the start of the “virus” hoaxocaust I assumed that the precise unison synchronization of NAZI TORTURE would continue. I assumed that Deepstate had blackmail power over ALL governors and mayors. This turned out to be partly false. Mayors were all NAZI, but sane governors in Dixie and Wheatland…

Literal
I misuse Dillinger’s Law often in a generic or metaphorical way. Why X? Because X is where the money is. Bankman-Fried’s push to regulate and legitimize bitcoin was a precisely literal case of Dillinger. Sam wanted to make his fraud a legal part of the financial system so he could rob banks. = = =…

Just a replacement
Looking around again to see if religious media are noticing that the Pope died. GetReligion, a website about religion in journalism, hasn’t noticed it yet, but does have another interesting piece on Ryan Burge’s survey data. Conventional wisdom tells us that religion is fading; more and more people are becoming officially atheist or agnostic. Burge…

You think you’re “socialist”?
In previous item about the misplacement of the Woke source, I noted that old-style Marxists in academia had given us objective and realistic descriptions of history and social structures and language. I was trying to remember the name of a Marxist linguist whose work I once read, and tried googling with no success. I was…

Used to be called torture.
VR makes people ill, so here’s a handy guide for capitalists who want to make VR mandatory in business. Hints and kinks for minimizing the illness. Before 2020 this used to be called NAZI TORTURE and VIOLENT SADISM. Now it’s the latest and best thing in tech, and a wonderful way for venture capitalists to…

Electrical analogy
After noticing Google’s rectification of my Misinformation about 2008, I started thinking about an electrical analogy. My first thought was too literal. A full-wave rectifier does turn both directions of AC input current into a single direction of DC, but its goal is not the same as Google’s goal. Google is not interested in a…

Are they learning yet?
I decided to peek at TheFederalist to see if the “conservatives” are starting to learn anything. They are at least noticing that Repooflicans are not serving ordinary people. This podcast shows a nascent understanding without discarding most of the biases that will prevent a more mature understanding. They think Woke/ESG started in the universities. It…

Youtube’s punishment
After writing previous item looking back at 2008, it was time to cook and eat, so I clicked on one of Shkreli’s podcasts about Sammy and jail. Shkreli isn’t always right or honest**, but he speaks from real experience and knows how to entertain. While eating I allowed Youtube to autoplay for background noise. As…

Looking back to 2008
Now that Powell has amazingly turned OFF the counterfeit, I looked back at the start. I wrote a sequence of pieces in Sept 2008, trying to organize my thoughts about the theft, and concluding with a major essay. Recounting the sequence… In this piece I outlined the Sharia and Soviet alternatives to capitalism, but at…

Same/opposite
Okay, here’s a suitable year-end shit, inspired by reading Huxley’s 1927 essays. Compare events that came out exactly as I thought, versus events that came out the opposite way. Check my own biases and assumptions. = = = = = Exactly as I thought: In Feb 2020, when China started doing the lockdown lunacy, my…

Good knockdown of a silly idea!
This article on the origin of language is sensible but sort of surprising. Apparently the idea that language started from gestures is becoming more common, and might even be the consensus assumption now. The first paragraph is eloquent: Some say language evolved by firelight, with our ancestors sharing stories deep into the night. Others suggest…

Not woke, just literati
Kurt Mahlburg at MercatorNet is complaining about woke dictionaries. In 2020, Merriam-Webster infamously updated its entry for female to include “having a gender identity that is the opposite of male”. Now the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary has gone one better: in addition to being “an adult female human being”, a woman is now…

W[h]ales
According to this piece at Medium, the planning for Charles’s eventual death started as soon as he took office. If he carries the good genes, the planners should have 30 years to get ready. The plan for Elizabeth’s death was called Operation London Bridge. The new plan is called Operation Menai Bridge, after the Menai…

Mister Restitution speaks
Yahoo Finance is interviewing Kenneth Feinberg, The Restitution Man. He knows better than anyone else how to distribute the assets from complex semi-criminal enterprises. He brings out a basic fact: Many of Sammy’s creditors are criminals who knew they were laundering criminal money. He doesn’t quite hit the exact analogy. Bitcoin is counterfeit. Bitcoin was…
