Not learning
New Scientist mag might be quieting down in an attempt to avoid scandal, but Anti-Nature is running full blast into wild-eyed genocidal tyranny, exceeding both Robespierre and Hitler in its love of death and destruction by the wargod of “science”. Smashing the peasants, asking why governments who enthusiastically implemented both the “Climate” lunacy and the…

How new is this?
After the CEO of a “health” insurance firm was killed, plenty of commentators are sympathizing with the universal hatred toward “health” insurance. The industry has naturally grown worse since Romneycare aka Obamacare, designed by the Heritage Institution, gave the industry a legally forced monopoly. Guaranteed monopolies MUST be sternly regulated. Strictness is the PRICE for…

Exactly 100 years ago
Adam Kuznia, a Minnesota farmer, has started writing on Substack. He’s carrying on a clever campaign to get a proper Agriculture subject category on Substack, so people who want to know about farming or write about farming can find it easily. Henry Wallace, father and son, fought the same battle on a larger scale to…

Just one fucking rule.
If you think people are “uneducated” or “low-information” or “ignorant”: You’re truly uneducated and ZERO-information and perfectly ignorant of ALL reality. Aside from right or wrong, these insults will NOT change things or fix any problems. You have to deal with actual human beings. You can’t kill them all and build 8 billion brand-new people…

Should be too obvious for words
While I’m at it… Many commentators are calling Trump’s victory a defeat for liberalism or technocracy or other isms or ologies. It’s simpler. The Dems chose to lose. In 2016 and 2024 they COULD have run a candidate with a PROVEN record of attracting working class voters. Bernie Sanders was MASSIVELY popular. His rallies drew…

Two weird responses
There are two bizarre responses to Biden pardoning his son. We expect Repoofs to treat it as unique, just as Dems treat everything Trump does as unique, EXCEPT for the ONE HUGE MONSTROUS HISTORY-ENDING UNIQUE CRIME OF IMPRISONING AND STRANGLING AND CLOSING THE ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY, which both “sides” have completely memoryholed now. Didn’t happen.…

The BEST Mutual Benefit Society
New thought: I’ve been missing the best and most modern example of MBS! Native tribes! They’re FRATERNAL with a vengeance, in a way that would be blatantly illegal for other ethnic groups. Cherokees have been kicking out Pretendians for a century, requiring serious genealogical proof of bloodlines. There’s a good reason for the strictness: WEALTH.…

Supreme sucker filter
The latest email scam is a perfect sucker filter. If you like BTC you’re a perfect sucker. If you can’t see that the email is NOT from Paypal or Dropbox and NOT even addressed to you!!!, you’re a perfect sucker. If you don’t recognize the garbled English, you’re a perfect sucker. If you don’t take…

When you know…
Seen somewhere: If companies told prospective employees how this company really makes its profit, the employees would be able to do a better job. (Or just skip the interview if it isn’t what they expected.) Excellent idea. Most companies get paid by customers, but only small businesses make their profit that way. Most areas have…

I know better, but I don’t.
Once again I tried to argue with a former anti-Trump cultist who flipped to a Trump cultist. Got piled on again. This is dumb. I know better! Need to spend a WHOLE lot less time around Substack, which is getting nastier and nastier by the day. In a time of universal cultification and universal monopolies…

Natural networks
Working on courseware about brain networks makes me focus on connectivity elsewhere. It turns out that I already did a feature on brain networks several years ago, and didn’t remember the terminology. I’ve also done features on plants connecting via fungal networks. Curbside Classic ran some personal pix from its readers for the holiday. This…

I would love…
The activists are cheering at Trump’s appointment of Bhattacharya to NIH. Bhattacharya is good in a lukewarm way**. Trump appointed plenty of good people in 2016, serious populists and non-interventionists who could have made a difference if he had let them. He didn’t. He quickly fired all of the good people and let Deepstate grow…

The modern way
I see Spokane is getting an early start on thanksgiving celebrations! Fifteen overdoses in less than 24 hours.

New pointless thought
Continuing my pointless crusade against using quotes instead of SAYING IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS. New variant on the pointless crusade: If you’re letting Plato or Einstein or Franklin or Hayek or Rothbard or Tolkien do your thinking for you, then you can’t argue against people who let ChatGPT do their thinking for them. Both…
