Secession timelines continued
Continuing from previous item. The states and provinces are partly analogous, but Trudeau is exactly parallel to Madman Lincoln. (TrumpBiden is also parallel, but the news right now is Trudeau.) Lincoln was attempting to impose the new NYC sweatshop employment on a part of the country where the old serfdom employment was still normal. Serfdom…

Secession timelines
Canada is currently running the same sequence that happened here, but much later and much faster. Carter Mecher’s Nazi holocaust and Nazi torture chambers started everywhere in March 2020. In the US, only South Dakota refused to participate at first. Over the next several months, first Dixie then the prairie states seceded from the Nazi…

If this isn’t enough….
I’ve been saying from the fucking start that fucking Bitcoin is a creation of NSA to serve Deepstate’s fucking purposes. If the last 10 fucking years of constant daily fucking proofs didn’t convince you yet, how about this? Weaponry and cyberwar: How Bitcoin funds anti-Russia efforts in Ukraine Enough for you? No, obviously not. You’re…

The missing element
After being relatively inactive for a couple months, American Radio Library is flooding their website with new and interesting materials. In previous post I was reading some Education in Radio journals from an arrogantly elitist group. Now a larger pile of more general discussions has appeared. From 1922 to 1952 to 2022, one crucial element…

Cui bono? Non-combatants (part 2)
The American Radio Library has added a series of ‘Radio in Education’ journals from the ’30s. These were published by an arrogantly academic group who HATED normal people and normal businesses. They weren’t satisfied with the existing mix of classical and modern music, which was HEAVILY classical at that time. This group wanted stations to…

Randomly related
Random crap, vaguely related to previous random story about the bitcoin rapping power couple… Some smart observers have concluded that the bitcoin racket is the male equivalent of MLMs. Most MLMs are explicitly aimed at women, selling cosmetics, weight reduction, and cooking supplies. Bitcoin is selling pure numbers. Competition is based on X > Y…

Woke or rogue?
The tiny handful of realists who are ALSO realistic about Bitcoin are having a grand old time with the rapping Power Couple who hacked and laundered a massive quantity of Bitcoin. Theoretically the amount they moved would be worth 4 billion dollars if you could convert it to actual money, which of course you couldn’t.…

Too late
Batya: Do not normalize what we’re seeing here: the leaders of democratic countries casting striking workers and nonviolent protestors as terrorists and using state violence to break up a nonviolent labor strike in order to protect commerce. Too late. It may not be normal but it’s a deep American tradition. Lincoln created a new “normal”…

Non-stupid philosophers!
Here’s a nice contrast to the stupid philosophers mentioned previously. Most discussion of consciousness is based on utterly meaningless wordsalad like “There is something it is like”. This discussion of insect awareness gets down to a definable and measurable concept of subjective experience, which is not the same thing as simple consciousness. What does the…

Someone, not Something
I linked this 2016 observation in previous item to illustrate the sense that SOMETHING was moving in 2015 and 2016. This wasn’t the best illustration of my vague sense, but it turns out to be a prophetic view of the SOMEONE who was returning to power. The SOMEONE is perfectly obvious now. = = =…

Good old 1975
There are several major inflection points in the history of Deepstate. 1913 was the birth of modern Deepstate, as Wilson brought the existing corporate Deepstate into government, funded it, and endowed it with lethal force. In 1921 Harding paused the growth but didn’t break the power structure. In 1933 FDR broke all three pillars of…

Extinct chords
Singing used to be universal. Everybody knew how to sing, and performers could count on an audience to sing together accurately if not in complex harmony. When competence starts early, extreme expertise gets a head start. I was discussing this point in journalism, and it also applies to music. With skills that require practice, a…

A sharp rebuke to drabness
A sharp rebuke from Lulu Meservey, one of the Substack executives. Technology is magical. But the language of technology has become generic and sterile: “User” “Creator” “Device” “Content” We should go back to the days of Greek and Latin: “Television” (far-seeing) “ Automobile” (self-moving) “Facsimile” (made alike) Words that sound magical. = = = =…

Who’s dumber?
Who’s dumber, philosophers or tweakers? Finalist for the philosophers: The “philosopher’s zombie” is an imagined creature exactly like you or me, but with a crucial ingredient – consciousness – missing. He does everything he is supposed to do but experiences nothing inside. In step two, Chalmers argues that if you can conceive of the zombie,…

From an extremely different era 17
A 1950 ‘meet the press’ style program had 5 reporters talking with Betty Hutton. Atypically the preserved recording is an uncut version, with frequent ‘offstage’ pauses where the reporters try to figure out who goes next, or check with Hutton to see if a question is acceptable. She had an interesting life. Like most reporters…
