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…

Until now I thought…
The stupidity of sanctions and blockades is blazingly obvious. We’ve been doing it since 1959, and it has strengthened our enemies every single time. Until now I thought our 1959 blockade of Cuba was at least understandable, since we hadn’t done the experiment yet and didn’t know the inevitable result. Nope, it wasn’t understandable. We…

Phlogiston wasn’t stupid at all
I hope Google doesn’t start censoring its Books department. All VALID ideas and CORRECT facts were written before the 20th century. Pretty much everything written since 1906 is either trivial or intentionally murderously false. Censoring new ideas is usually a net gain of real knowledge, whether the new ideas are ‘establishment’ or ‘independent’. Before Googlebooks,…

No transitionals
Evo News has yet another article on the failure to find ‘transitional fossils’. Since I’ve been reviewing and condensing old blog into new blog lately, I’ve acquired a feel for the strata of my viewpoints. There aren’t any transitional fossils in this record either. When I crystallize a new understanding, the viewpoint shifts abruptly. A…
