Reprint on Libertarians
I wrote this in April 2020, after the lockdowns but before the waterboarding got started. Later on the point got even sharper, as the holocaust directly ruined public transit, another favorite target of the Randians. I’m proud of catching the correlation before it was blatantly obvious. Right now I’m tired of Repooflicans trying to blame…

Natural growth
Following on previous item about Sailer contours. Our homeless camps remain camps, with uncontrolled fires and craziness. They’re strictly illegal, not allowed to settle. In countries with softer governments, poor people build casual houses in their camps, and the houses gradually become more permanent, turning into barrios or favelas and gradually acquiring infrastructure. A similar…

Not just lenses…
Closely related to my ramblings on the old Islamic insistence on using alidades instead of lenses to observe the universe. Stay as close as you can to the source, don’t distort vision with lenses, don’t distort science with theories, don’t distort business with abstract debt and stocks. RemnantMD on Substack discusses how light controls much…

Unsophisticated ASM
Continuing the food chain rule in terms of programming. I started programming in assembly language on the early PCs. There was very little “sophisticated food” available for the task I wanted to perform, so I had to write more of the action myself. There was also very little memory and disk space compared to modern…

Halal vs AI
This has undoubtedly been said many times (heh) but I don’t recall reading it before. Customized one-hour productions like movies, novels, plays, symphonies and operas are totally unlike all other human activity. All other activity consists of repeated reused segments, interspersed with possibly original commentary or filigrees. The typical job repeats the same transaction or…

Understands 2
Writers at Compact Mag often UNDERSTAND reality, which is extremely rare online. Ryan Zickgraf is writing about a new movie that runs the usual D idiocy about R “insurrections”. = = = = = START REALITY: But while there are certainly cracks in the American project, there is little evidence that we are on the…

More of the oddity
Lately I’ve been noticing an oddity, which may not be an actual trend. The official myth of “the economy” has been based on strictly fake and fictional “numbers” at least since Nixon. If we defined unemployment the same way we did in the 30s, the current unemployment would be the same as the 30s. We…

Why should we care?
Religion News Service discusses the dechurching of the Yankee world, and asks what will happen to all those buildings? Allegedly we would care if 100k libraries shut down or 100k schools shut down, but we don’t care about 100k churches. All of those things happened in 2020. Churches did nothing to protect their people from…

Astrolabes in the news!
Astrolabes don’t hit the headlines often, to put it mildly. Here’s a news item about a newly discovered connection of an old astrolabe. = = = = = START QUOTE: As Gigante began to study the astrolabe – a scientific tool which dates from 11th century Spain and is used to chart stars and other…

Demonic constant, fake variable
Oregon is recriminalizing hard drugs after decriminalizing for three years. This is a good move but as always with legislatures it’s a fake move. Constants and variables! Fentanyl is a city-ending plague EVERYWHERE, not just where drugs are decriminalized. Every city has the same genocide. Portland is no worse than Philly or Spokane or NYC.…

Starving the demons
There’s no way to kill or depose demons who own everything, but Nature has a way of starving overgrown monsters who trample and gobble up all the plants. Pointed via the Pillar substack, a list of the Vatican’s budget problems. This is good news for the real church, which is in Africa along with Snowbird…

It was really The Street!
TIL, as they say, that Wall Street was an OUTDOOR AUCTION for a hundred years, and didn’t come inside as an organized exchange until 1921. The outdoor auction occupied the full width of Broad Street, not Wall Street, with traders shouting bids at each other. After telephones were common, the traders rented offices in facing…

The ledger does balance
I’m frustrated when evil people get punished for the wrong reason. My narrow little bookkeeper soul wants to see Debits and Credits balancing. Along with all the other national leaders except Tanzania and Belarus, Trump committed the biggest crime in history. He will never be punished for his crime. Instead, he is being punished somewhat…

Necessary compromise
The anticoiners at Reddit discuss whether bitcoin is halal or haram. Some of the commenters get the important point. The basic rules of Islam solidly forbid all forms of speculation and usury. BUT modern Muslims engage in banking with interest, and engage in speculation, just like modern Jews and Christians. All three abrahamic branches agree…

We manage somehow
It’s a peculiar situation. Polls consistently show that 2/3 of the population is perfectly tired of the political and corporate teams and all the crimes committed by the political and corporate teams. Yet no writers or politicians or corporations or advertisers or churches or entertainers are trying to pick up this audience. All the output…
