Fake World, Fake Life


Whatever side you’re on you know the word “fake.” The current favorite is “fake news.” There is more. Fake cigarettes, fake education, fake medical procedures, fake IDs, fake money (crypto), fake luxury products, and fake drugs all take their rightful place in our lives.

The latest fake may already be here.  That is fake, fake meat, which is fake meat blended with real meat.  Advantages: reduces production costs, no regulations, easy to do, hard to detect. Disadvantage: dishonest (but who cares). The exposé  of this might be called fake on fake news. 😊

Feeling bad for vegans and veggies everywhere.

More fakes now exposed.
US Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke affects all your senses; his stupidity can be seen, smelled, heard, felt, and ugh, tasted.
He wears his stupidity like a bad after-shave. We have: a fake presidential run.

If Beto and Bill (de Blasio) ran together, their net support would decrease. Fake times two.
-------------------
In politics many Presidents were called fake, but I prefer to call them genuine - idiots.

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).

Mediocrity

 Once of the worst things that can happen to a young person is to be told their mediocre performance is good. For me, I was told the opposite, that my efforts would end me in failure. That was a spur that dug in deep. I would prove him wrong.  And I did.  Do not praise mediocrity, no matter how much it makes you feel good or your target.
