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.

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).

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

  How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI).  Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular.    *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. -------------------------
