Economics as a verb
Rehash of my 2012 Economics As A Verb, modified for current relevance. = = = = = START REHASH: We get locked into booms and busts, inflations and deflations, because we forget that our measuring unit is only a measure. In Alan Watts’s famous metaphor, a carpenter wouldn’t stop work because he “ran out of…

Curses, foiled again
Finally some blessed RAIN. A narrowband storm ran directly through the fire-blasted quarter of town. This will halt the Polymarket-driven arsonists. They can plant their firebombs but they won’t have much effect, so I’m sure their banker bosses will find another way to keep them busy. Earlier this system gave broadband coverage to the northern…

I guess it’s more candid
Ideally: Laws should apply to all people and all companies. Don’t steal. Don’t kill. Don’t defraud. Don’t evade taxes. In practice: Most laws apply to one type or class or religion or political party, or one of two competing companies. The traditional method is sneaky. When you see weird-looking exemptions and requirements in a law,…

Bet on a bet
I’ll go out on a (so far unburned) limb with this one. Premise 1. Arsonists are at work in several areas, not just the Catholic Criminalities zone west of the river. Some of them are clearly homeless or crazy, some are driving cars. Some are using matches, some using blowtorches, some tossing lit plastic bottles…

Welsh, not English
One of the linguistics types on substack mentioned that Kalshi is having a kerfuffle about English grammar. I looked it up. It’s not really about English, it’s about Welsh[ing]. Gambling and stock trading are absolutely alien to my mind. I can’t BEGIN to see why you’d want to exchange money because something happened or didn’t…

Last straw.
When Greatest Satan Bush was allowed to be an “author” on Substack it was ALMOST enough to push me out. But he isn’t PART of the business, he’s just allowed to be there. (Or more precisely his media minions are there.) His presence doesn’t directly contaminate my transactions. Polymarket is the last straw. = =…

Music the time beguileth
Today’s dream included this madrigal, offering heavenly praises to a nasty ugly warmaking headchopping psychopath faghag named Elizabeth. We have a duty to balance the equation. Nasty times require divine creation. Repeating for the 100000000000000000th time: “Resisting” a psychopath makes him stronger. If you want to make him weaker, provide a BETTER alternative. Use your…

Rererereprint on natural law
Reprint triggered by focusing on the necessity of paper cash. When there’s no way of paying debts outside of Altman’s tyranny, there’s no feedback system, no equilibrium. Natural Law, whether expressed in genes or societies, is all about equilibrium and equipoise. Every cell is meant to work in its own way, every cell gets nourished…

Reprint on tenure
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2020 REPRINT: Some people are starting to catch on to a chronic long-standing problem, which has become acute and GENOCIDAL in the current fake “emergency”. Retired officials and professors and doctors have been speaking truth openly on all the fake “emergencies” from “9/11”…

It was all about SKILL.
Lately I’ve been watching this Youtube channel. The author grew up in the Soviet Union and knows how it REALLY worked, not our perpetual propaganda. He brings out the SKILL-oriented nature of Soviet economic policy in the automotive area. I’ve seen this focus on SKILL before in electronics and education. In this clip on the…

Not the only choices
Paul Vigna proposes frequent debt jubilees. He says there are only two motivations in an economy: greed and morality. He complains correctly that we’ve organized our economy on greed and debt. To favor morality more, he wants occasional debt jubilees, saying that ancient governments realized it was the best way of restoring stability and giving…

Only looks like magic
Seen in a meme: People who speak two languages have a special magic. Bilingualism looks magic to those of us who have been raised in a prescriptive system with only one way of doing things. Most people in most countries in most time periods naturally speak two or three languages, function in two or three…

Facta
One discussion of Prevost’s background mentioned a school whose motto is Facta non verba. Google doesn’t find the reference now, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t AI-hallucinate it. The Endarkenment inverted the meaning of factum. In Latin a factum was simply a completed task, a got-r-done**. Now we think facts are authorized descriptions of the…

Pope gets it.
The old joke: Is the Pope Christian? was supposed to be a self-evident tautology. For too many years the pope was not a Christian. Now it’s a tautology again. From Prevost: = = = = = START QUOTE: Every member of the international community has a moral responsibility to stop the tragedy of war before…

Cursed weight, sacred weight, part 2 of 2
= = = = = MEDIEVAL METROLOGY PART 4 = = = = = Why has gold been a standard** for so many centuries? Partly because it’s a suitable standard in a metrology sense. It doesn’t mix easily with other elements, it doesn’t degrade with time, and it can be purified and verified. But metrology…
