Today I learned….
A pro-bitcoin redditor is using an interesting and worthwhile fact to make an invalid argument. The Nevada gaming commission stipulates that a casino must hold in reserves enough cash to cover every chip in play on its floor. Meanwhile the Federal Reserve stipulates that banks must hold in reserves between 0% to 3% worth of…

Ugly Taxling
Elon is mostly continuing Deepstate control of Twitter, which is not surprising. He’s made a few changes to turn Twitter into a money-making business. The blue check thing is a classic example of how a real business works. Previously the Twitter management knew who was Correct and who was Incorrect, and assigned elite credentials accordingly.…

Same tactics
More clarity on the “anti” AI petition, which is obviously an attempt to snatch control of the process. From the belly of the WEF beast: Elon is the prime mover behind this petition. Interpretation: Elon founded OpenAI and now he wants to take it back. The petition will drive down the share price so he…

Why 1906?
I’ve been fascinated by two major inflection points. The more recent one, 1946, is not mysterious at all. After FDR died, Deepstate recaptured the territory it had lost, and started to obliterate the universe. UN, WHO, NSF, NIH, CDC, NSA, CIA. All the three-letter** demons were founded in 1946 with the same demonic purpose. The…

USA = Rodarbal
I’ve been bothered for many years by one vicious inconsistency. 1. US loves and obeys countries that have actually attacked us in one way or another. England, Germany, Japan, Israel, Saudi, China. 2. US hates countries that have never attacked us. Above all Russia, which has always tried to be our friend. We’ve been steadily…

Bitcoin = pot.
3/19 was my jail anniversary, so I was thinking about the process as usual. New click: The bitcoin movement of this decade is IDENTICAL to the hippie movement of the ’60s. High-status influencers advertise the stuff and sell the stuff under CIA auspices, while pretending to be against the government. Alienated youngsters buy the stuff,…

Goal achieved
Well, it looks like Sammy’s social engineering won the whole prize. Regulators and legislators and JPMorgan and Goldman are all going full speed into “blockchain”. Bribery and blackmail always work nicely. The fake “anticoiners” like David Gerard and Molly White also won. I hope they appreciate their billion-dollar rewards. Classic case of the Machiavellian two-sided…

You think you’re “socialist”?
In previous item about the misplacement of the Woke source, I noted that old-style Marxists in academia had given us objective and realistic descriptions of history and social structures and language. I was trying to remember the name of a Marxist linguist whose work I once read, and tried googling with no success. I was…

Now I get it. Maybe.
Elon is leaving Twitter, “letting” the people “make the decision” for him. Now the whole thing makes sense, sort of. Back in April he made an offer purely for noise and publicity, certain that Twitter would never take him up on it. Twitter’s big shareholders, perhaps understanding Elon or perhaps for their own cold-hearted reasons,…

CMT
Still grinding on my Sputnik question, the failure of US education to teach skills. There’s an obvious line between physical skills like typing and soldering and cooking, versus symbolic skills like arithmetic and writing. New thought: There’s a more subtle line between symbolic skills like arithmetic and writing, versus symbolic description of the symbolic skills.…

Why cloud-seeding was abandoned
EnidBuzz has the annual feature on THE FLOOD, 10/10/73. The commenters hit the story from different sides as you’d expect. Here’s one I hadn’t heard before: I lived at Altus at the time & heard that the farmers near that area had the clouds “seeded”. The resulting rains moved up to the Enid area instead.…

One nice thing
One advantage of the modern era of total control: The insiders are no longer bothering to hide. I’ve been pulling away from Substack as it converged to the Deepstate norm. Like Youtube and FB, it now steers you into the orthodox lane. In all of those media you can still find the unorthodox, but you…

It’s just QC
Chart from the latest Gallup poll: This is a good sign of sanity on the human side. Most people understand who’s human and who’s demon. There’s some predictable R/D difference on media, since media is part of DNC. But even Ds are mostly negative (30% confidence) on newspapers and TV. Last week I was puzzling…

That’s the purpose.
Continuing the theme of previous item, examining modern shit by trying to transpose it to an earlier era. I’ve got Github updates on my mind today because I just finished shaving an especially dirty yak. I’m cranking up my courseware-making tools for a new edition. One of my processing programs depends on the PIL image-handling…

Indirect ping
I just noticed something while reading Greenwald’s latest piece on the completely irrelevant Taylor Whatever Doxing thing. Greenwald bounces off the original subject into the big problem with “journalism”, and tells about his own awakening in the Vietnam era when journalism switched from 80% DNC to 100% DNC partisanship. Here’s the sudden ping, which isn’t…
