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.

Accepting Fake Information

Every day, we are all bombarded with information, especially on news channels.  One group claims it's false; another calls it the truth. How can we know when to accept it or alternatively how can we know it's false? There are several factors which influence acceptance of fake or false information. Here are the big four.  Some just don’t have the knowledge to discern fact/truth from fiction/fact/false*. Some fake information is cleverly disguised and simply appears to be correct. Some fake information is accepted because the person wants to believe it. Some fake information is accepted because there is no other information to the contrary. However, the acceptance of  information  of any kind become a kind of  truth , and this is a well studied topic. In the link below is an essay on “The Truth About Truth.” This shows simply that what is your point of view, different types of information are generally accepted, fake or not.   https://www.linkedin.com/posts/g-donald-allen-420b03

Your Brain Within Your Brain

  Your Bicameral Brain by Don Allen Have you ever gone to another room to get something, but when you got there you forgot what you were after? Have you ever experienced a flash of insight, but when you went to look it up online, you couldn’t even remember the keyword? You think you forgot it completely. How can it happen so fast? You worry your memory is failing. Are you merely absent-minded? You try to be amused. But maybe you didn’t forget.   Just maybe that flash of insight, clear and present for an instant, was never given in the verbal form, but another type of intelligence you possess, that you use, and that communicates only to you. We are trained to live in a verbal world, where words matter most. Aside from emotions, we are unable to conjure up other, nonverbal, forms of intelligence we primitively, pre-verbally, possess but don’t know how to use. Alas, we live in a world of words, stewing in the alphabet, sleeping under pages of paragraphs, almost ignoring one of

Is Artificial Intelligence Conscious?

  Is Artificial Intelligence Conscious? I truly like the study of consciousness, though it is safe to say no one really knows what it is. Some philosophers has avoided the problem by claiming consciousness simply doesn’t exist. It's the ultimate escape clause. However, the "therefore, it does not exist" argument also applies to "truth", "God", and even "reality" all quite beyond a consensus description for at least three millennia. For each issue or problem defying description or understanding, simply escape the problem by claiming it doesn’t exist. Problem solved or problem avoided? Alternately, as Daniel Dennett explains consciousness as an account of the various calculations occurring in the brain at close to the same time. However, he goes on to say that consciousness is so insignificant, especially compared to our exalted notions of it, that it might as well not exist [1] . Oh, well. Getting back to consciousness, most of us have view
