The Socialist



The Socialist view of life. From cradle to cradle to cradle - followed by a quick cremation. All for free.
----------------
The Socialist manifesto: We are smarter than you. We know more than you. We understand more than you.  We know what you need. We insist on helping you.
----------------
The Socialist menu.  Go to any Asian restaurant.  Almost certainly you will see the dish, “Happy Family,” a hodge-podge of various items to delight the customer.  A stir-fry dish with colorful vegetables (broccoli, baby corn, bamboo shoots, mushroom, carrots, etc.), meats (beef, pork and chicken), and seafood (fish, shrimp, and crab), it is cooked in a brown sauce. 
As a catch-all, the European Union (EU) plan typifies this dish trying to serve all Europe the Happy Family. All are served the same and all are asked eat the same.
But… Many simply want another dish.  Some want fish, some just beef, others only pork or chicken, and so on.  With this reckoning, the Happy Family is a compromise relatively few actually order. So why do politicians insist on serving it?
Other political parties elsewhere offer the same thing, one dish for all. Call it happiness, safe spaces, pablum, or even gruel.   Time has shown it has little appeal for long.  But the politicians hype their new recipe, always called “This Time It Will Work,”   Time will show whether the people will happily swallow it.
-----------------
Socialist taxes.  Taxes are not for the government but to help you and your neighbors.

---------------

Socialist education. Every student deserves the education they want and need - without cost. Enhanced learning means a crafted program leading to safe employment with little risk.

Lies, Deceit, and the National Agenda

The world you grew up in is no more.  The world of reasonable honesty and reasonable lies has been replaced by abject dishonesty and blatant lies. Lies.  Yes. People have always told them.  You have told them; so have I.   We need lies; they are a foundational structure of social living.  They both deceive and protect.  Children tell them to their parents to avoid consequences, like punishment.  Adults tell them to their bosses, to enhance their position and/or avoid consequences of poor performance.  Our bosses tell them to their boards to suggest business is good, the project is on target, or the detractors are wrong.  The boards tell them to shareholders to protect their own credibility and most importantly, stock values.   Our politicians tell lies to their constituents, though sometimes innocently with them not actually knowing much more than they've been told.  They enhance their positio...

Behavioral Science and Problem-Solving

I.                                       I.                 Introduction.                Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).
