Encogitationer,
Whatever is rubber is also glue, bounces off of us and sticks to you. Lets see if you can make a sound argument against socialized medicine in the USA. You pointed out bad things about government. I gave you some additional ammunition and indicated it is not relevant to the issue at hand. There are horrible things about free…[Read more]

The efficiency of the free market?
It went well for the masses before labor unions. It gave Dickens some nice material. Free markets are decidedly superior to any alternative in concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. Suffering bastards become less affordable to many but a namesake of too many. If one is lacking health what has one got?…[Read more]

I mentioned it earlier but i will reiterate. If you have not seen it then please watch the Social Dilemma on Netflix. Or listen to one of the authors who was interviewed on Sam Harris’ podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1se6POdUcWM

I assume Unseen, you are indicating that there are indeed refugees who fear that word but are confused it and conflating socialized medicine with their prior experiences.

I buy in completely to the premise of that video. Americans are absolutely retarded in being frightened by the right when they flash that evil word, socialism. Just want to point out that in regards to the numbers of Americans who file bankruptcy as a result of medical bills it is simply wrong. I represented well over a thousand clients in filing…[Read more]

Encogitationer, that is ridiculous but i will see if Davis wants to respond before i jump into the brackish waters of Enco-think.

No doubt Davis.
The historical mind viruses are on steroids in social media. And when we contemplate how new social media is and how the business model utilizes algorithms to group the birds of a feather it is a scary prospect to allow the speech to be uncensored.

Encogitationer,
You’ve hit on a key concept in SOCIAL ENGINEERING. The law is/ought to be/must be blind. Expurgate our statutes of any hint of social engineering. That lady of justice has a blindfold on. No trick laws!
There is a natural order we must preserve. The cream has always risen to the top. One can not make a silk purse out of a sow’s…[Read more]

Unseen did he actually say stand down but be ready? Or do you think it is implicit?
Hypothetically, imagine Trump has the power to use magic to become the dictator of the U S of Trump but half a million Americans will die in the insurrection. Will he use the magic?

Gotta give Trump credit. He told his flock to go home. Surprise, surprise…
I think there is a tendency to impute malicious intent in all of his actions. But maybe that Sam Harris metaphor of Trump and the balloon going willy nilly as the air is released is a better representation.

I foresaw this months ago. It is a volatile situation-a real tinder box. This could go like the Hindenburg. Just a little encouragement from the orange fuhrer and we have ignition!

Sometimes laconic, hopefully never grandiloquent. If you are fond of laconic visit Laconia New Hampshire where a lacuna is longer than a schooner. I don’t know what the hell i am talkin about. Thanks for the compliment Reg. -

@jakelafort – I have added a few of your words to my vocab. You have a knack of using uncommon words that are always apt for the statement you make. Using long words at the correct time does not a Sesquipedalian make. So, don’t become pauciloquent, a word you reminded me of not so long ago. (I am sure you won’t ever 😊).

Sand Worms, ya know i hate em. And orthodoxy. Throw in weddings, funerals and terpsichorean fish and goose soirees

Those terpsichorean fish show how dead Greek religions can still influence our vocabulary. I suppose they form their own dance schools.

Simon, you must enjoy getting a rise out of others.
