Reg the Fronkey Farmer

Strega,

I was writing a story and alternating paragraphs with meta and while the syntax and flow of AI was great there was a sense i got of it being stilted. Not good literature. Hard to explain. I don’t know why it would not imitate Dickens, Steinbeck or any number of authors.

Funny thing though, Reg. Your first post was really readable, pulling the reader into your perspective and quite compelling.

The AI post was boring and skimmable without engaging the reader at all. I’ve rarely seen such a clear example of the gap between human and non human communication.

Thanks, Reg!!

Why Ideology, not Faith, drives the Culture War.

This article is super-interesting.  I know you’ve got to be clever to do all that statistics stuff.  Evangelicals are conservative and have conservative (i.e., highly patriarchal) views.  Non-religious are mainly liberal and have liberal views.  That makes a lot of sen…[Read more]

Your query is so very…

Adam Kinsinger served as a savvy and (relatively) good-hearted Republican Congressman. He and Liz Cheney had the gumption to be the only GOP to serve on the Jan 6 select committee. Kinzinger was one of ten House GOP to vote for Trump’s second impeachment.

ask him to justify his framing of almost every issue through the narcisstic lens of Trump. How is it that the president of the USA subordinates the interests of the people he is representing as the ultimate public servant to his own interests?

If you did that, he would ruin you, and possibly have you shot, lol.  Is anyone still…[Read more]
