“Standing on the corner
Watching all the girls go by
You don’t know a better occupation
And neither do I
Than standing on a corner
Watching all the girls go by” — Dean Martin

THE LIE OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Here is the propertarian translation of the criticism of Cultural Appropriation:
“I want something reason to feel good about myself, despite my people’s lack of excellences, achievements, talents, ability – I need to convince myself that I have status despite the contrary signals that I don’t.
“When competitors demonstrate yet another mastery, the mastery of my identity rituals, this deprives me of my false signals of status. It forces me to confront the reality of my status as it exists rather than as I wish it to be.
“Meritocracy only assists the superiors. The inferiors need means of finding acceptance and reward as well.”
(h/t Lesley Drabble )

CELEBRATE PLENTY AND CONSUMPTION, COOPERATE TO SAVE AND PRODUCE.
TED Celebrates. Church of R-Selection. Nothing More. It’s not cooperation. It’s rallying consumption. Drawing the other bees to the flowers. Nothing more.

INTOLERANCE IS A HIGH COST, A HIGH TAX THAT WE MUST PAY. TOLERANCE IS A FREE RIDING – A DISCOUNT, A THEFT NOT A VIRTUE.
Living Light – and safe.
Sure, I have the contents of a four bedroom house in storage. But otherwise, my life consists of a little red sportscar, six large duffel bags full of wardrobe, a suitcase full of computer gear, and my working computer, id, iPad/exterior monitor, sound system, prescriptions, cables, batteries, umbrella, rain poncho, cash and a few gold coins I keep in my (very fancy) backpack and I never ever take my eye off of it. I keep a cord lock in the backpack and lock it to whatever I can when I am in a public place. Worst case I have a run bag with me at all times.
Part of this habit is living in an iffy place during the revolution. Part of it is what my government did to me and am forever traumatised by. Part of it was what my divorce did to me. Part of it is autistic in that I must have rituals to remember where I put things. Part of it is just feeling that I don’t need to worry.
I sleep with my phone, backpack and laptop next to the bed. So I don’t worry about them
In America I always carry a sidearm out of advocacy. I have only needed it three times. Once when a psycho came after me and Allora when I turned his criminal activity in. And twice when people of different Color decided I was a target late at night. Yelling “help police!!” While pointing a sidearm is very different from returning the threat with macho.
I know too many people who have had car trunks robbed because someone watched them place items in the boot then either waited or followed them to their next destination and stolen them.
I have too much experience with east coast urban life. I know the evil men do. When I lived in Back Bay in Boston my heart raced twice a day: when I woke up and checked to see if my car was still there, and when I came home and checked to see that the door had not been banged in by thieves.
I never feel as unsafe in Ukraine as I did in every American city.
You know why?
Intolerance.
Men beat the hell out of you here for the slightest threatening action just like they used to in America.
Every man a sheriff. Every man intolerant. Every man a hangman.
Intolerance is a high tax.
But we must pay it.

Lots of good evidence once again that people who drink coffee live longer with less serious disease up to about five cups a day.
I am looking for a reason why the kind of people who live longer drink coffee rather than why coffee makes you live longer, and I suspect the following:
1-smarter folk/more social folk
2-middle upper middle class.
3-more active folk.
With 3 being the obvious candidate for producing longer lifespans with less disease.

Isn’t free speech over truthful speech merely the left’s means of lying and propagandising with impunity?
Truth is enough.
It created the west.
It restored the west from mysticism.
It can restore the west from pseudoscience and deceit.
We need only make all public speech testimony.
Because that is its function.
Perjury for false testimony in the commons.
