Figured something out…
When Demon Elon was running his scorched-earth blitz, destroying everything good in government and strengthening everything bad, I did some careful reading and bashed him for misunderstanding two of the best parts. I pointed out that Social Security gets only 1% of its money from government subsidies. The rest comes through tax channels, but doesn’t…

Worth saying again
I’ve said this before, but it seems appropriate again now. Back in hippie times we used to think that the world would be all peace and justice, man, if the leaders would just get high on LSD and mushrooms. Now they’re high as a kite all the time on LSD and mushrooms, and they’re VASTLY…

No investigating
Getting really tired of the constant insistence that we need media to “investigate” wrongdoing. Media never does real investigating, and even if it did, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. What we need is SOLVING, not investigating. China doesn’t investigate, it solves. The New Deal didn’t investigate, it solved. The same applies to police work.…

Persistence
It’s so damn good to see a politician who KEEPS doing the right thing. The vast majority are bad all the time. A few make a move toward the good, then give up when the billionaires push back. Carney started doing good and continues doing it, despite the constant threats and craziness from Trump, and…

In one sentence
Seen on substack. Allegedly a Chinese saying. Extremely wise whether it is or not! Only kids argue over right and wrong. Adults see the nuance. One plays to win. The other plays to understand. How to deal with a psychopath. When your opponent changes all the rules all the time solely to WIN every single…

Priority list
If governments want people to listen to crap about “climate” and “diversity” and “zoning”, they will have to do ONE THING first. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control…

Schrodinger’s jail
Yesterday an arsonist was released without bail “because the jail was critically overcrowded.” Today an arsonist who caused only a dumpster fire was arrested and held on $100,000 bail. Mysteriously the jail was no longer critically overcrowded. Hmm. I wonder what emptied the jail? From police report: = = = = = START QUOTE: On…

Sad, mad, bad vs useful.
Here’s what changed my mind about arsonist “Misty” Horne. From one of the local media accounts of the initial hearing: Horne attempted to contact police after they released his photo in connection to the investigation. He informed officers he was in the Spokane Valley area and eventually provided them with his location. However, by the…

Surprising!
7/11 Update on the arsonist Chad “Misty” Horne. At first his bond was set at a trivial $1000. Now it’s up to $500K, which is far more meaningful. Maybe they intend to hold him this time? We can always hope. Note for fairness: KREM covered the initial court hearing today. Last year they did the…

Unsurprising
Chad “Misty” Horne hasn’t been released yet, but it’s a safe bet that he will be. Here’s part of the Jail Roster for today: Six charges of 2nd degree arson, max sentence would be 60 years if consecutive. Only $1000 bond, and listed as “bondable”. Typically the bondsman will charge 10% up front to make…

Fun to watch
It’s fun to watch the long breakup of Lady Donald and Lady Elon. Somebody memorably described them as two aging divas. Fits perfectly. Liberace and Oscar Levant. From my viewpoint, they’re two iconic psychopaths. Each needs to create chaos and harm, each is convinced that he will always win every contest. Most of their experience…

Not that complicated.
Compact Mag, always overthinking, describes Elon’s departure as a failed alliance of two classes against the “clerisy”. Nope. Trump and Elon don’t represent any groups or classes at all. Representing is EMPHATICALLY NOT what a psychopath does. The alliance and its breakup can be fully explained by three qualities of psychopaths. 1. A psychopath doesn’t…

Why we were stupid
Back in the hippie 60s we often imagined that the world would be perfect if presidents and CEOs dropped acid. We’d have universal peace and freedom and justice if we could slip some mescaline into Nixon’s martini! We didn’t understand what would REALLY happen because we were infused with the lethal lies of the Endarkenment.…

Why philosophy is fucked
Seen on substack: = = = = = Most people don’t realize how ridiculously hard one needs to think in order to thoroughly grasp certain philosophical problems. It took me well over a decade to really grasp the sorites paradox, for instance. And one often needs more years of investigation to realize the depth of…

What’s the important difference?
Along with the grounding power of tradition, there must be a simpler and more practical reason why Canada was able to learn from Trump’s attack, while the US Democrats have been allegedly opposing Trump since 2015 while ACTUALLY campaigning for him. Constants and variables: Trudeau’s sudden shift toward doing the right thing after many years…
