The Next Time I Hear .... I'm just Going to Spit

 

Of late, I’ve been lied to, cheated, and swindled. Stocks, bonds, crypto, health, and politics lead the pack. Politicians lead in all categories. For them, it’s downright institutional. Only the lies and corruption are keeping up with inflation – in some caes racing ahead.

Hearing all this, day after day, make me want to spit. There are lots more spitting events. Here’s my short list.

·       The next time I hear we are in a recession (or not in one), I’m going to laugh. We are all hurting, the retired and poor the most.

·       The next time I hear these carrots or those apples are organic, when there is no verification (impossible BTW), I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear China is our friend, I’m going to grind my teeth. The Chinese are total snobs about everyone else – always have been.

·       The next time I hear BITCOIN is going way up, I’m going to groan.

·       The next time I hear inflation is good, I’m going to gag.

·       The next time I hear this or that insurance company will save me $652, I’m going to puke.

·       The next time I hear someone on TV say they are a fiduciary, and therefore to trust them, I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear a TV psychologist tell me how to live, I’m going to fart.

·       The next time the FED tells me that the economy is in good shape, I’m going to grunt.

·       The next time I hear Trump tell me how great he is, I’m going to spit. And

·       The next time I hear Biden tell me how great he’s doing, I’m going to spit.

·       The next time I hear Climate is the world's most important concern, I’m going to convulse.

·       The next time I hear a politician tell the truth, I’m going to faint.

Superpowers want to rein in Globalists*; Globalists want to control Governments; Governments want to manipulate the People. All take a generous cut of the action. Spit, spit, spit, and more spit.

*i.e. Billionaires.

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).

Problem Solving? Then Find Those Gaps

  Problem Solving - Finding Gaps 12/28/2024 Introduction. Solving complex problems often arises from the presence of gaps in knowledge, resources, understanding, or perspectives. These gaps introduce uncertainty, ambiguity, or constraints, making solutions difficult to achieve. Below, we explore the primary types of gaps that complicate problem-solving and their implications. Many are of the technical, informational, theoretical, and social nature. You may discover some of these gaps are also sources of uncertainty in problem-solving, in that they supply us with another list of things that can go wrong based on something missing. Gaps also form a type of impossible problem, that will be discussed in a later chapter. Finally, this essay is about all problems and solutions, not just those of science.

CERTAINTY IS ALSO AN EMOTION

  Certainty is also a Feeling Certainty is often viewed as a mental state tied to knowledge and confidence, but it also functions as a feeling with distinct emotional and physiological components. While it arises from cognitive processes, certainty also has a subjective and emotional quality that makes it more than just a rational judgment. It provides a sense of assurance and security that shapes human experience in profound ways. Emotional Dimension . At its core, certainty evokes emotions that influence how we perceive and interact with the world. When someone feels certain, they often experience relief, comfort, or empowerment. These emotions are particularly strong when uncertainty or doubt is resolved, offering a sense of closure. For example, solving a complex problem or having a belief validated by evidence brings not just intellectual satisfaction but also emotional reassurance. Subjectivity. Certainty is inherently personal and subjective. It depends on individual...
