Reviewing Aberree, part 2/7
Before 1700 there wasn’t a distinction between astrology and astronomy. Stargazers with or without telescopes were doing serious observation and real math and real geometry to determine God’s will. This purpose was especially dominant in Islam, the most scientific religion. Stargazers were seeking long-term patterns that were reflected in human lives and human civilizations. They…

Reviewing Aberree, part 3/7
Alphia Hart had a powerful and unique view of copyrights: Copyrighting everything you write is a confession that you have little faith in your ability to continue producing salable stuff — and that there may come a time when you’ll have to fall back on your own, protected material to make a living. When we…

Several ‘short takes’ by Hart. = = = = = On vaccination. Note especially that I was writing this item in May of 2019, before vax became the ONLY RELEVANT TOPIC IN THE FUCKING WORLD. = = = = = START REPRINT: Via ZeroHedge: On the Caribbean nation of St. Lucia, a cruise ship belonging…

Aberree on health foods and health fads, written in Oct 2017. = = = = = START REPRINT: Aberree provides a nice match-point for offbeet thoughts and products. Sometimes the modern version has become fashionable again, sometimes it remains equally dubious, sometimes it has become CRIMETHINK. One product heard on all the second-string talk shows…

Reviewing Aberree, part 6/7
Here’s where I did some actual science! First in August 2017: Earlier I had redrawn Volney Mathison’s electropsychometer circuit, which was stolen by Hubbard to create his fake religion. I speculated that it would be more interesting with a zero-center meter instead of Volney’s one-way meter protected by diode. Redrew it again, substituting NPN transistors…

Aberree on experiential education. = = = = = START REPRINT: Alphia Hart constantly recommended examining your own ideas, but he didn’t always succeed in examining his own. Along with a preponderance of powerfully original and unique thoughts, he sometimes let out a standard “liberal” thought, as in this 1957 editorial…. In this case the…

Come on, warmth! Faster!
Looks like the week-long cold spell is about to end. Weather maps show warmer air approaching from the south, but not here yet. I’ve missed my daily walks. To alleviate boredom I continued the electrotherapy graphics with this belt vibrator. It’s not exactly electrotherapy, but it was described in the same books and used in…

Illuminating phrase
An article about China’s recent expansionist tendencies described modern China as a LAND MAFIA. This fits the category of condensed complete explanations, which I like to call Self-Explanatory Sentences. It also fits one of the recent tendencies in USA. Zillow and other NYC hedge funds have been buying up massive numbers of houses, and renting…

A 2022 prediction.
Here’s a prediction. As more info about the massive crimes of the last few decades gradually filters out, we will see that the Bush family is the source and heart of the demonic evil. Other monsters like Soros and Bezos and Gates and Clinton and Trump are major subdemons, but the Bushes give the commands…

Raking record
This really belongs in my private daily log, but for some reason I started recording it here, so will continue the tradition. This picture is old; two years ago I finally figured out that raking is easier and safer WITHOUT the ladder. I don’t know why it took so long to try it both ways!…

Kirn on the collapse
This new interview is worth watching but could have been condensed some. Walter Kirn and Liel Leibovitz are discussing the total collapse of all institutions. Kirn was a familiar establishment writer in the ’70s. He departed from the establishment and is now writing ‘newsletters’, though not very actively. Leibovitz is unfamiliar to me and seems…

The importance of plateaus
Assisted by the Kirn discussion, I connected two longtime themes. 1. Exponential vs tanh. Life doesn’t go exponential. Every individual, or company, or community, rises to a ceiling or plateau and stays there. Individuals die, but companies and organizations don’t necessarily die. Many have lasted for hundreds or thousands or years, by steady satisfaction with…

Wonderful article on Africa
This is an EXCELLENT article on a subject I’ve discussed often. Africa is the moral salvation of the world. The article is mainly about Africa’s Catholics, who are REAL Catholics. I love good graphs, and the article is packed with meaningful and clear graphs, including some animations showing how Africa is turning more Christian while…

Great writing
Cops have to handle the SECOND-WORST part of humanity, while obeying insane rules and regulations imposed by the WORST part of humanity. They have to keep their sense of humor if they want to survive long enough to get the pension….. From a press release: On 12-27-21 around 2PM, SPD responded to a collision near…

Schwellenbach and Hoover on neutrality
Continuing thoughts on neutrality from last week. Many years ago I cited and transcribed a speech by Senator Schwellenbach from Spokane. Part of the transcription: = = = = = Hitler’s seizure of Austria demonstrates 3 things: 1. The futility of contracts with dictators. 2. Treaties signed at the point of a sword are useless.…
