Legacy and copyright again
Branching off from the Kellogg patent insides, I started reading histories of stereotyping. 1. From Gutenberg’s movable type through the long line of inventors who repeatedly REdiscovered stereotyping, a pattern emerges clearly. Each inventor tried to keep the process secret through oaths (NDAs) and patents and copyrights. When the inventor died the process died with…

One promising note
The philosophers and Intelligent Design folks are still handling the wrong end of the AI question, trying to knock its competence and credibility and HumanPersonNess. Those qualities are IRRELEVANT to the Tech Tyrants who are mobilizing and implementing AI. The Hollywood strikers, who were formerly on the wrong side of nearly all questions, are hitting…

BIG victory for locals
I’ve been strictly avoiding mainstream media since the start of the hoaxocaust. This year I started watching some web coverage from TV stations. Locally because of the wildfires, nationally to see reactions to the actors strike. There is one HUGE change in local TV stations. Before the hoaxocaust, most of their ‘location’ reporters were petite…

Reprint from a year ago
One year ago I wrote this. At that time I didn’t see much hope. Now I think we’re starting to see real signs of the changeover. Why is the ice breaking? Jerome Powell stopped the free-money music that was energizing the demons. = = = = = START REPRINT: We need a Foy Rebellion. Yesterday…

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…

Raw materials
The Ankler interviews a striking writer who makes a striking analogy. Every real business relies on raw materials or basic labor, and makes money by organizing and selling the materials and labor. “You wouldn’t have content, you wouldn’t be talking about streaming, if you didn’t have writers and actors to create the raw material.” Honest…

The yak is the point
I’m doing an electronic project this week, aiming to make the GenRad 1565 into a practical microphone. If it works, I want to record a series of audio segments from Henry Wallace’s book. The entire purpose is fun, not practical. I know nobody will listen. As in any project, there’s a certain amount of yak-shaving.…

Khaldun on the Dry Line
Still running through old materials looking for more weird clocks to animate. One clock was described in a journal about Islamic culture, which also included a lengthy article on Khaldun. His description of historical cycles is both accurate and well-known. He also had trenchant observations on a subject closer to home: the Dry Line. Reviewing…

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…

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…

What happened? China.
As I’m expanding my daily walks to include some blocks I haven’t seen in several years, and some I never walked before, I’m noticing one systematic change. 10 years ago many houses in the neighborhood had wall-mounted air conditioners. This was a bit of a fad in the ’50s, and it was necessary on the…

Terrible fad
Suddenly all the “independents” are pushing gym class. I suppose it started with Joe Rogan, then jumpingjacked into prominence when Elon challenged Zuck to a duel. RFK has joined in. His uncle pushed gym class, and Bob Jr has been showing off his muscles. Gym class is NOT the way to regain usefulness. Weightlifting is…

What’s wrong with Frank?
Hersh interviews Thomas Frank. They accurately describe the well-known realignment of D and R. In 1932 D became the HONEST voice of the working class and remained there as long as FDR breathed. Now both represent the plutocrats, with varying forms of dishonesty. D pretends to be about hippie shit. Before 2016, R was openly…

Both ways continued
Continuing the cuts both ways theme from previous item… Craig Wright, a professional suer, is also running a patent factory, generating THOUSANDS of carefully crafted patents to block everyone else in the blockchain game. Patent pools cut both ways. When used by pure fraudsters like Wright, they block normal business. Bitcoin is a purely dishonest…
