Shock and awe? Not clear yet /// EDIT: Clear.
A brave science teacher in Caracas has been reporting via Substack for a few weeks. The only reliable news comes from locals who see and hear what’s happening. Around here, the only reliable news comes from the SpokaneNews facebook group. Mainstream “news” from every city and country is useless. The previous stage of our grotesque…

LemonAIde 4
Just recording this for my own purposes, since this is a purely private diary with no human readers. Last week I tried an experiment. The bots who steadily “read” this blog were focusing on one particular item about the Phelps induction telegraph. There’s no reason for this item to be hugely popular. I tried replacing…

Russia was right as always
A pretty good rule for software in the era of accelerating “innovative” destruction. Older stuff keeps working. Newer stuff fails. When I switched from Win 7 to Win 11 last month, the rule held firm. Preparing for the switchover I bought some newer helper progs that allegedly work better on 11. They don’t. My main…

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…

1918, 1957, 1989
Old tech journals often tell you things that weren’t mentioned in the media or our fake school “history” texts. I learned about our 1918 invasion and occupation of Russia from reading old Signal Corps journals at GoogleBooks. Looking up info on my latest tech history obsession, I found two later Signal Corps magazines, one from…

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”…

SOE and Studie
Here’s a new thought after rereading the history of Studebaker for the 100th time. Albert Erskine took over as CEO in 1918. Under his rule Studie prospered and handed most of the prosperity to shareholders. Erskine believed in paying the stock criminals first and letting the company (facilities, workers, development) have the leftovers. Some of…

Good idea, can’t happen
Compact Mag has a good idea. Because it’s a good idea, it can’t happen. Defense contractors deal only with the government. All of their income and business comes FROM the taxpayers, but their profit goes TO the executives and Larry Fink. This is the worst of both worlds. They take from the taxpayer and give…

Rule works only one way
One of my frequent hammerpoints: Inventions wait for materials and methods. The latest clip from the Soviet auto podcaster illustrates what Edmund Berkeley was describing in 1957. Soviet engineers were properly trained with experience and teamwork, and therefore had passion and creativity. They were given the resources to act on their creativity, and were rewarded…

Happy 68th, Sputnik!
I’ve saluted Sputnik many times, focusing on a different topic each time. Today is the 68th birthday. I’ll repeat the 2021 version, which seems most appropriate now. = = = = = Browsing through more of the ACM magazine. From Nov 1957, a remarkably sane and objective IMMEDIATE response to Sputnik. Author Edmund Berkeley gets…

Rererereprint on real value
Reprinting this for the thousandth time after mentioning the Soviet reliance on REAL VALUE in previous item. This one piece encompasses everything I know and believe. = = = = = START EVERYTHING: Robert Shiller is arguing that economics pays too much attention to theories and numbers. Perfectly correct. He’s also arguing that real economies…

Hard currency?
The ex-Soviet auto history podcaster often mentions that trade between the US side of the world and the Soviet side was difficult because the ruble wasn’t a ‘hard currency’. I used to hear that phrase in the news and didn’t question it at the time. The news told us Soviet money wasn’t hard, so it…

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…

How to kill science
Oxford University Press will censor genetic studies from China because some of the samples come from Uyghurs, who are allegedly persecuted. First: Most of the good research is in China now. Rejecting Chinese studies is deliberately blinding ourselves to most science. Second: I can understand rejecting a study because the subjects were unnecessarily harmed. But…
