This thread also needs re-reading 25 years after 9/11/2001 and one year after Charlie Kirk’s murder.

Although my assessments of Charlie Kirk’s views have gone down, especially after platforming Christian Nationalist lunatic Victor Marx, I still say he and no one else deserves murder for mere words.

And as always, in this…[Read more]

On this September 11, 2026, the word linked here bear repeating and re-reading as we still face enemies of Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness both at home and abroad.

Ferguson says a borderline contradictory and stupid statement at end of vid in which he asserts something like ‘if we maintain our faith in god and uphold the values of a free society’.

You are indeed right here and it’s more than borderline contradictory. Like I said earlier:

“Rebels with too many causes.”. That is genius! May I borrow that when suitable?

Perhaps what social media and AI need is an algorithm that detects and mines for opposing viewpoints and fallacies as well as provides fact-checking. It couldn’t save everyone from the rabbit hole, but could guide users to watch their step.

Here’s a video where historian Niall Ferguson explains how AI has been weaponized by the algorithms of social media and AI geared toward rage-baiting, by the contrarian drift of youth towards older generations, and the ability to spread a message worldwide in seconds. The end result is what we see every day. Leaving…[Read more]

I had to look up Ghibli. Dont think i have seen an anime film.

I’ve only seen still-lifes of Ghibli. They are just sickeningly sweet, not at all like humans even in good times, especially during workplace injuries.

Reg,

Curious to know how you see AI’s impact on us in near and long term.

Great video on data poisoning as a line of defense against data scraping. (I say this as one of millions of signatories of John Perry Barlow’s “A Declaration of the Indepence of Cyberspace.”).

Staying active is great and taking risks are unavoidable in life. But the rational act with thought and take the calculated risk, so they can live to do it all again. A backup chute and plan when things fall apart is always a must.

I am not sure your advice in this matter is spot on. “Obliviousness to injury is not good, as it can lead to infection and further injury or amputation.”

I meant to add also to select a Paychological Counselor who is LGBTQ friendly.

You don’t the added trauma of dealing with a trusted professional who is a quack who doesn’t think you should even exist without whatever weird “therapy” they think you need to change your orientation.

Again, keep us informed and I wish you the best.

I’ve never experienced the “Third Man” phenomenon. Perhaps, the mind detaches from situations of extreme trauma so it can perform necessary functions without distraction. The “third man” could be one form of this detachment. It would be good to talk to a Psychological Counselor who specializes in Trauma.

Yes, I doubt if Mr. Gray is ever the most colorful actor on the party scene. He probably belongs to some branch of the ‘reality based community’.

Ron Suskind would have really been the life of the party if he’d have just named the name of the one who made the quote, and he would have been really ‘reality based.’

The idea of progress is a dangerous lie.

Phew! Bet John Gray’s the life of the party!

Cue the Leonard Cohen, who, according to Neal from The Young Ones, is both alive and yet dead:

2026 is the year of saying two things at once that seem contradictory at first blush but really aren’t.

The purpose however is at least in part to terrorize the populace. And listen it worked. Those groups changed for the better. Correlation or cause and effect? I have already indicated my opinion. Just like the counter terrorism measures applied in the USA ya have to ask whether those have been difference makers.

To put it succinctly, if Jihadis are attacking the U.S. and our allies, and if we are fighting back, The War On Terror is not over and we haven’t won.

Problem is, The New York Times is so concerned about it’s paywall while shilling for Mamdani and not wanting anyone else to make money. Kinda undermines any talk of ethics and morality, especially the Reciprocity Ethic.

The quantum batteries that upend the rules of charging.…..The important thing is that “bigger” means more coherently participating quantum units, not simply a physically larger battery.
