News roundup

That opening image with the asbestos snow is truly emblematic of the problem of hubris in the sciences. There is so much we don't know that the confidence of researchers for their interpretations of the results of their research is grossly overconfident. I have rarely seen a more dramatic visible demonstration of the danger of hubris than that use of asbestos fibers as a movie prop snow.

I was struck by your statement that many people noted Christmas didn't feel like Christmas, because I also noted that sentiment. I had to drive across the county on Christmas, and I was also struck by the dearth of Christmas decoration on homes this year, so much that I felt an urge to begin a public call to restore the tradition of decorating homes on Christmas. I do remember fondly the almost competitive nature of the decoration and displays in my youth, the beauty and exciting lights, and the expense and work people went to to share in that cultural meme. It's lack revealed the horrible success of the demoralization injury the enemedia have inflicted on the West. It highlighted the fact we are under attack, and the demoralization has succeeded to an awful extent. All of us in the West are emotionally and intellectually injured, even reeling in discomfort from the wounds we have borne in recent years, from the formerly happy children we were surrounded by in the West becoming pawns and puppets of degenerate sexual predators, our high trust societies becoming racially charged battlegrounds, mobs of violent protestors burning down our neighborhood commercial districts we have a proprietary pride in, our governments being utterly corrupted by bribery and blackmail with the intention of using them to prevent our prosperity, eliminate our economic success, and destroy our families and culture. It was an epiphany of the shared sense our culture and future are moribund and hopelessly scheduled for slaughter, like some fat sheep penned prior to being sacrificed by pagans to some demonic evil idol. Comparison of the image on the left of the decorations from days of yore with the lone lighted tree on the right perfectly exemplifies what I saw on my drive across the county. 1-3% of private homes had any decorations at all, and those were miserable examples of the vibrant decorations from my youthful recollections, and 10-15% of businesses, that in prior years would have been 100% and very exuberantly displayed.

I am reminded of HRC's characterization a decade ago of some terrorist attack on Christians in S. Asia as an attack on 'Easter Worshippers'. Christianity and it's fundamental influence on the West has been undermined very successfully, not only by derision and theological dispute, but by massively funding farcical fraudulent megachurches and TV preachers like the many that have been exposed as drug addicts, sexual degenerates, and financially fraudulent criminals in recent decades. The contrast with the repute Billy Graham was regarded with in my youth and the despite the Catholic Church deservedly is today is extreme, stark, and representative of the long scheme to undermine the West ZOG has undertaken since the assassination of JFK.

The terrorist attack on the Berlin Christmas Market by a Zionist operative from KSA the enemedia deceptively claimed was a Muslim extremist, partially successfully, well exemplifies the psychological manipulation of the West and all of us that have inherent and substantive interest and dependence on for our felicity and future felicity of our posterity. That misery and frustration I felt on that drive was deliberately done to me by the enemedia and ZOG.

The inaction to help the victim in NY exemplifies this same problem. The movie 'Joe's Apartment' (which I highly recommend) starts out by showing NYC's particular representation of this demoralization, with the protagonist Joe checking to see if a man laying on the sidewalk was alive, and the man leaping up and clicking a stopwatch, declaiming how long it took for someone to check on him.

The policies of the Left since 2011 fully exhibit the ZOG Machiavellian undermining of Western civilization across the spectrum that psychological manipulation comprises, from the sexual degeneracy and war on women and children, to the derision of Christianity and community spirit. Your exposition of modern art incisively reveals that extent of the demoralization psyop. The complicity of bureaucracies similarly shows their complete takedown by corruption. The intensity and intention of the demoralization attack on the people of the West is fully revealed.

An observation about the new cover of 'the Bootstrap Paradox': the image of the guy in coveralls with a chainsaw evokes horror movies, suggesting he should be wearing a hockey mask. Perhaps if he was wearing a tool belt the impression he was doing construction work would be conveyed instead?

I'll credit AI with math skills. AI is entirely made of math, after all.

I'm not particularly worried about AI, because I haven't seen any AI do anything but sorting, just like a machine using a scale to sort nuts and bolts. We'll see if they can do anything other than that. Tech advance has always changed jobs that were good careers for people. Buggy whip makers claimed the automobile was the end of the world. Plastic blow molding reduced the demand for basket weavers, although people still weave baskets. Steel plows reduced the need to moldboard carvers, because no one needed to replace wooden plows over and over anymore. Today there are very precise CNC routers, and the need for wood carvers is reducing. This is how tech works.

If I see stuff that can't be explained by sorting, then I'll worry.

Thanks!
