Protection racket
For those that value privacy over safety I have to ask, what have you got to hide? What I have to hide is… The things you would use against me if you knew me so well you could predict my reactions to your actions. To measure is to improve, that is a true statement, but… Continue reading

Who is this they?
“They’ve wanted it for over a hundred years” This is the US president talking about the ballroom absolutely nobody seems to want. The interesting thing is that he reaches for a “they” that indicates in this case, and many others, nothing more than whatever he is currently talking about is his wish. Basically he regularly… Continue reading

Delegitimise me
To tackle any issue one must first not delegitimise the position of those persons who caused the alleged problem. All issues are “people” issues, premises on a belief, a position taken by them. Protest is the expression of a disagreement that can find no other method of expression. The people who express their disagreement through… Continue reading

The Refusal to measure…
The wannabe king has replaced anyone that disagrees with his vision of how things are, not how things should be, bear in mind that these are very different things. One is something we could prove, the other is a trajectory wish. The reason he does this is he wants to be able to say things… Continue reading

I understand preppers now
A zombie apocalypse is unlikely, but not impossible. More likely to happen is that the world will fundamentally change for the commoner in a way we are already well aware of, but haven’t really thought enough about.

A horse to water
William Buckley’s words were sophisticated, maybe too much so for the audience he was speaking to, and certainly we would not recognise the style now as something we could relate to. Such assuredness and confidence oozing out of each elongated sentence, performance notes in the execution of every critical word, pauses timed and positioned with… Continue reading

He bought stuff
He inherits money, buys stuff, that stuff goes up in value, so he buys more stuff, the value rises again. He goes from wealthy to very wealthy, so he buys more stuff, that stuff goes up in value too. Someone else is designing and engineering this stuff, someone else is making this stuff, someone else… Continue reading

Street Rangers?
I’m about to make what is called a slippery slope argument. I am aware that this tactic can be rather flawed but I will try to stay away from drawing too much inference from the initial postulate and stick with what is likely in an effort to not appear to be a tinfoil-hat wearing internet… Continue reading

Do it for no other reason
I spent a lot of time on YouTube watching documentaries about the lives of poor US communities and I was shocked to see how the richest country in the world regularly treated its marginalised people. They basically abandon them to charity. The theme that runs through each is the prideful nature of the inhabitants of… Continue reading

Road raging
We, in our naivety, believe that each of us is part of a collective, I’ve referred to this as the herd in past posts. That view is not incorrect in my opinion, but it is also not completely true. I’m going to support it and challenge it at the same time. It’s not a secret… Continue reading
