In scientific writing I can only do four hours of deep thinking and concentrating but I can still do another three or four hours of light work communicating and and reading. But when programming I could do twelve to fourteen hours. And I am still not clear why, other than so…

COMPASSION FOR PETERSON
Just to demonstrate a bit of compassion, when I came down with undiagnosed cancer it had a terrible effect on me and I was given the equivalent little benzo pills Peterson was – they effectively anti-pain pills, even if it’s psychological pain.
I went off the cold turkey when I realized what they were doing to me and it was … extremely unpleasant, same symptoms, and all but unbearable. Though I would assume only twenty percent of what Peterson felt. And I have an unhealthy insensitivity to pain in the first place.
So, I have sympathy. But I also recognize while I have an extreme male brain, he doesn’t. He’s actually on the feminine side of the cognitive spectrum. So I suspect that not only the experience but the consequence has been hard on him.
And he’s going off the rails of rationality – and I don’t really know why he’s incognizant of doing so especially when surrounded by family and friends. I don’t know whether it’s the result of changes due to trauma. Of if the trauma merely expressed his inner sensibilities all along.
Cheers

Why am I doing this again? If the world is going to war and collapse yet again why not just go back to building companies and making money until it does? Intellectual labors pay forward but they do not pay in the present. And too much knowledge of mankind requires too much optimism in the face of the evidence that it’s a fools errand. And yes I miss my Ferrari. 😉

I’m kind of surprised how fast it’s spreading. 😉 And we’re happy about it. Wait until you see the next two videos totally four hours where I ‘cover the fourth rail’. Brandon tells me they’re working on it now. But it’ll take a bit.

(Diary)
People are awesome. 😉
Today, while doing errands, including a coupe of coffee shops, I met:
– A young black mom with one child and who takes care of her two younger siblings. We talked about motherhood.
– At Starbucks met a young black woman who’s a researcher at Yale. We talked about my work on everything from how to use social media for research to group and sex differences, including differences in lying. (She’s awesome)
– I bought six marshmallow crispy treats from Starbucks, walked next door to the bank, and gave each employee one. Then met the new young white male assistant manager and given we had to wait for some transaction processing, we talked about his career, and living locally.
– Next I met a young software developer from Madagascar and we talked about his life, education, girlfriend, his career ambitions – and laughed a lot.
People are awesome. ;). As long as they’re reasonably self responsible, and you take them as they are, and you don’t want them to be different from how they are.
And it’s only late afternoon. 😉

Doug Morrison of Northwest Front has left Twitter. So sadly another man of quality has given up on social media. 🙁

Well, You didn’t know me pre-cancer when I wasn’t an asthmatic, overweight, limp academic 😉 But yes, I have understood that since we formed the organization in 2012. Unfortunately john mark couldn’t take the risk of being the frontman and given our certainty trump would lose the election (we were right) I unfortunately tried to step in. That was a mistake, but at least it was a moral one. We are still looking for front men that we can support with our work rather than trying to use ourselves as the leaders directly. And it’s working.
Hugs for the honest opinion without criticism BTW. 😉
