Enco, thanks for that.

No that damn sure is not me. I aint got no hair nor am i nearly that whacked out insane.
I know who it is though. He was saying some insane shit on FB. I tried to reason with him. Pointless, that….

Enco,

So your line: Look, I’m not the one with acolyte followers on YouTube, much less acolyte followers on YouTube who refer to me as “the friendly Charles Manson.” So if I were you, I would be very circumspect about throwing around terms like “ideology” and “dogma.” You were just talking out of your ass? It was not with reference to someone yo…[Read more]

Enco, what video?

I have never made a video for youtube.

Enco you are producing a lot of text and very little to no substance.

You are wonderful at avoiding issues.

And what is up with this?

Enco, follow the bouncing ball.

Here is what you wrote: :”Humans doing work has nothing to do with a Judeo-Christian or Protestant or any other ethic.”

The analogy to our forbears or primitive or subsistence humans is inapposite. Of course they had to work! But there was a division of labor that was more equitable. There was a more communal…[Read more]

Wrong Enco, wrong.

If your point is lennin’s, “He who does not work shall not eat” then ya ain’t really saying anything.

The Judeo-Christian/protestant work ethic has an obvious nexus to humans working their asses off in a meaningless quotidian get just enough to get by existence so you can retire and die. Slaves were tricked by Christians into…[Read more]

Pope i was giving a tip of the hat with your point about hyperbole. Yes i think capitalism fucks up a lot of stuff but not everything. In some contexts it is a big positive.

As to the voids thing it is from a Jewish comedian-might have been Jackie Mason-doing schtick partly in Yiddish and capturing some of the jewish cultural nuances.

Beanie, capitalism corrupts everything?

The history channel.

News shows aren’t about news.

Technology driven by capitalism has infected easily infected minds to the detriment of civilization.

No more voids. Had he said to me even one more void….

the sound of silence
is an auditory violence
the need for stimulus
is the impetus
to drone on and on
as drivel driven
drones produce
drivel driven clones
as the author bemoans
never realizing his own drivel

I didn’t listen Pope. But sounds like you are describing hearsay. Hearsay is evidence. Its quality varies. Sometimes it is admissible and others it is not.

And beyond the nitwits there is the issue of designer pets. It is artificial selection catering to aesthetic wants and animals suffer as a result.

I despise abuse of pets. And don’t get me started on treatment of livestock! Not sure licensing pet owners is a good idea seeing how many are in shelters and in need of homes. Putting extra onus on prospective owners/keepers might dissuade some and result in greater numbers of pets being destroyed.

If you want to bring up the purple…[Read more]

michael17, is it evident to you how your world view colors your lens accordingly?

Not that objectivity is possible for humans and yet any form of ideology/orthodoxy renders a flawed human an absolute trash receptacle. I don’t mean that in a bad way…it is just that…

Thanks Pope,

That was amusing for me. Pretty accurate too. Only one aspect majorly off in its analysis.

Robert do you think it is possible that AI will become sentient?

AI won’t be hindered with the intransigence of human belief and its defender confirmation bias.

No argument, Autumn…

That is a positive step in Minnesota. However it is not enough to simply track hate crimes or racially motivated incidents and gather data. Do something about it!

Ya know i just watched a documentary on netflix about a guy who infiltrated the KKK in rural northern Florida. There were a number of corrections officers who were KKK. In prison one of…[Read more]

God makes his plan. The information is unavailable to the common man.

For oft when on the couch i lie in vacant or in pensive mood that Fucker Tucker comes across the screen causing me to sniff gasoline.

That is how it looks from here sports fans.
