Learning requires stability.
In previous item about the history of stereotyping as it related to Kellogg’s Patent Insides, I was quoting a 1927 book by George Kubler. He understood how psychopathic chaos halts all learning and genuine innovation. = = = = = START QUOTE: Writing of books by hand continued to be the only method practiced throughout…

Bigger questions
This discussion on Reddit verifies a hardass fact of life. Men stop talking about our troubles because women use the information for blackmail. This is actually a special case of a broader rule. Both genders are vulnerable in other situations. Priests and Deepstate want to hear your troubles so they can use the information for…

Words of another song
Mattingly at GetReligion is discussing the Anthony song. He quotes a religion prof: = = = = = START QUOTE: “The song was immediately politicized, even though there have always been country songs with singers lamenting the state of their lives and the state of America,” said David Watson, a theologian and country-music fan. He…

The sides aren’t always rigid
Not a new thought, just a reinforced old thought. The BASIC dividing line for civilization and economics and technology has always been: Who does it serve? One side says that everything must serve human beings. The other side says everything must serve Genghis or Attila or Caesar or Robespierre or Morgan or Zuck, depending on…

From Mao to Marx in one move
A constant theme in old scifi, and a recognized rule of human behavior: An external enemy like an alien invasion can unite bickering family members or internally divided nations. Our monstrous rulers have been dividing us for centuries, with special success in the last 30 years thanks to their total control of MEDIA. Alien monsters…

That’s not how we get there.
Weiss interviews Vivek. He’s obviously running to be Trump’s VP, no matter how strongly he asserts otherwise. This is standard political strategy. Nobody ever SAYS he’s running for VP. Vivek is pushing for “raw unfiltered meritocracy”. That’s exactly how we got into the current grotesque situation where a few monstrous psychopaths own the world and…

Stages
Doomberg, a prolific and pseudonymous bitcoiner, reveals how Twitter worked and how Xlon changed it. Summary: Like all social media, Twitter had Lurkers, Participants and Creators. Twitter was different from other media like Youtube or Facebook or old-fashioned publishers, because Twitter didn’t pay its creators. Instead, the Creators were meant to use Twitter as a…

Where’s the guild? There.
Before the NAZI TORTURE CAMP, and strongly and plaintively during the CAMP, I’ve been asking over and over WHERE’S THE GUILD? Where is the organized defense of humanity, or even the organized self-interested defense of occupations and businesses? Franny continues to perform the function of a Guild, which has been lost for many decades. In…

Where isn’t the beef?
DailyMail has an article on the countries that eat the most vegies. The chart is hard to read, includes only the top 20, and is calibrated in kilograms per year. I’ve translated it into pounds per year per person, and included the top 100 broken up in 10s. This seems to be measuring the ‘color’…

Medicalized
The antivaxers are still playing the same “cases” game as the provaxers, focusing on multiple symptoms reported by people who got lots of shots. They’re missing the simplest causation. People who like to get shots are also people who like to get tested. They’re MEDICALIZED. They have decided to let MDs make all their decisions…

Logical Islam
GetReligion pointed to this page with an Islamic response to the woke mess. = = = = = START QUOTE: Islam distinguishes between feelings, actions, and identity. God holds individuals accountable for their words and actions, not for their involuntary thoughts and feelings. As our Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “God has pardoned Muslims…

Contracts are deeper than “rights”
The defenders of “free speech” constantly miss the point of press freedom. Greenwald is complaining that Fox News is suppressing Carlson’s “freedom” by enforcing its contract. Nope. Freedom of the press means that a publisher can’t be forced to publish OR retract any items. Contracts are a deeper form of law than any “rights”. Contracts…

That’s why
I wrote my usual comment about the nonsense of “rights”. For some reason the usual comment caused a new thought today. The usual comment: “Rights” are nonsense, not found in the Bible. “Rights” were created by aristocrats to grant themselves more privileges than they already have. New thought: I’ve always wondered why this particular bit…

Who needs FDR when you’ve got Powell?
Via DailyMail: Goldman Sachs readies for a third round of lay-offs that will include some partners in the next few weeks after slashing more than 3,000 positions in the last year as investment banking deals drop off. It is CEO David Solomon’s attempts to cut costs as deal-making – the firm’s major revenue source –…
