Okay, I have changed my mind and I will pick the other half of the box 🙂

@_Robert_  The system is really “out of the box” thinking. Or in the box. Well, let’s just use half a box.

If I was doing some acid I would have trouble deciding which half of the box to use 🙂

@Unseen – The Law of Forms is a very interesting idea. I had never heard of it before. It is like applying an “Occam’s Razor” to algebra.

@jakelafort I have for a long time thought people can be programmed with any beliefs I used to think it required early indoctrination…

It reminds me of a recent conversation I had with an Evangelical of some type. He was trying to tell me that he did not believe in Evolution. I told him I agreed with him. He looked puzzled and asked me to e…[Read more]

Reason is a BASIC requirement of logic.

10 LET X = 1 ‘ Assume X is a logical value, where 1 represents TRUE and 0 represents FALSE
20 IF X = 1 THEN GOTO 30
25 GOTO 50
30 PRINT “Continuing because X is logical (TRUE).”
40 GOTO 60
50 PRINT “X is not logical (FALSE), going to end.”
60 END

We have plenty of firearms.

If there is a revolution I am sure that some of the 180,000 active duty marine corps will be able to handle them. Once it is declared a national emergency or an insurgency they will get out of bed (both of which are exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act). Then they can go back for their breakfast.

I have a tattoo of Urizen (You-Reason) on a shoulder blade.

From Chatgpt:

Urizen is a character created by the English poet and artist William Blake, who appears prominently in his series of prophetic books, particularly “The Book of Urizen” (1794). Blake’s Urizen is a complex figure representing law, reason, and order, but also the limitations…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone! Did all y’all enjoy the game in Dublin 🙂

Reason is non-negotiable. Try to argue against it, or to exclude it from some realm of knowledge, and you’ve already lost the argument, because you’re using reason to make your case. And no, this isn’t having “faith” in reason (in the same way that some people have faith in mi…[Read more]

@Unseen – My A.I. returned this:

The experiment you’re describing sounds like a variant of a Galton board (also known as a Quincunx), which is a device invented by Sir Francis Galton to demonstrate the central limit theorem. In a Galton board, balls are dropped from the top and bounce through an array of pins, with the outcome forming a normal…[Read more]

I once did Horrorscope readings for 5 different star signs. All were very keen to have it done by a professional 🙂

I made up a few generic paragraphs that sounded profound but very vague. “You are happy to work on a task on your own but also enjoy being part of a team when the task allows for your own skill sets to be called upon”.  I spoke…[Read more]

Here is one of the co-authors of Project 2025 discussing the plans.

I would call it a truism. You would have to be mad to think otherwise 🙂

However, and I don’t know why, the professional birth charts that people can draw up seem to be very accurate.

Have a great week everyone!

The difference between faith and insanity is that faith is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence whereas insanity is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence.

I think I would fell safer with a monkey at the helm rather than Mr. Magoo.

@jakelafort

Not sure about A.I. but I know what I do like. I am happy to share some of my bananas.

Have a great week everyone!
