Enco,

If that fantasy of breaking bread/smoking a joint/having a beer with intellectual luminaries materialized i’d include Sagan. Cool guy. Popularizer of science. Endless curiosity and humility.

Quoting him to lefties is like quoting Trump. If it is Trump reaffirms he is a very stable genius… not exactly an affirmation with lefties or anyone in their right mind for that matter. 

No argument with that Jake.

October 7 event extraordinaire. Vigil and a flick.

Oh i wish i could be there in Toronto.

Glorious Martyrs. Gaza Ghetto Uprising. I mean that later name is oddly familiar. I am sure it is not coopted and is an innocent description. These Torontonians must be really pissed at Egypt.

Ok Reg but in quotes and in quotes and Netanyahu said. Quoting him to lefties is like quoting Trump. If it is Trump reaffirms he is a very stable genius… not exactly an affirmation with lefties or anyone in their right mind for that matter. In fairness as far as i know evidence is not conclusive but there are a lot of ducks quacking.…[Read more]

The BBC (yes!) has posted: Netanyahu says Flydubai attacker had ‘Islamist radical indoctrination’.

Enco,

I don’t know if you remember but we saw a vid with the guy who worked for Reuters. And yea it gets copied over and over as though it were honest reporting instead of activists spinning and spreading their filthy ideology.

This is a pretty cool vid by Sagan except it is AI and i don’t even know if it is Sagan’s…[Read more]

Enco,

Predictably CNN downplayed the role of Islam and terrorism. One of their guests opined it was most likely a pilot who lost his marbles. Fox on other hand if memory serves said, “it was a Muslim from Oman.” Lefty media is forever downplaying role of Islam in motivating terrorists or wrongdoers. The rapists of Europe are just part of the…[Read more]

This is the guy who saved the day or ruined it for Lefties and Islamists.

Woops,

I think i see now what i missed then. Reg is using 100%/analogy as a tautology thus enabling an identity. Ok.

100 percent analogy is not analogy. Just is not. Identical twins are comparable and analogizable. (new word is like a neologism.) Yet they’re not identical and thus proper subjects. Once identity is evident it is properly tautology time. Never the twain shall meet..

“As for similes, what are they like?” If we can only answer a simile with a…[Read more]

100 percent analogy is a contradiction in terms. If there is no line of demarcation, no variation and no way to distinguish things being compared then it is not an analogy.

Seems to me speaker’s typically convey something negative when they point out a tautology. It is a needless repetition. Pointing out a tautology is a way to rebuke a speaker…[Read more]

I would like to quibble…I might be wrong so won’t swear on the holey bibble….but would a 100% analogy not be an ‘identity’? A tautology is a statement true by its logical form. An analogy that matched in every respect would simply describe the same thing twice?

When it comes to tautologies, either I’m being pedantic, or I’m not being ped…[Read more]

I never really understood the way a Jewish population stays in Germany. I remember reading racist anti Jewish laws that required Jewish immigrants to live together in a Jewish ghetto. A German woman told me no way. I gave her the site and she consulted other Germans and could not invalidate the law.

This is the wake up call perhaps to GTFO.…[Read more]

Enco,

“Obviously, no analogy is 100 percent perfect, otherwise it would be a tautology.” That’s a good line. One i won’t quibble or refine.

“Anyway, my main point is, technology doesn’t spring from the head of Zeus fully developed…

True and billions are being poured into AI. Pace of progress in its evolution is wild and analagous to e…[Read more]

Or, whichever state controls a religion.

You are very welcome Strega, as always. I think you will like this….

Enco,

It is kind of unreal that you adduce Speed Racer as a model for the assimilation of technology. But there ya go. Loved that show when i was a little’n. Unfortunately the march of progress in technology is not probative of what is coming if’n the prognosticators of superintelligence are super correct. I am not sure how many experts. If the…[Read more]

Yay!! Thanks Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!
