    From my ex-wife, Allora Doolittle, in regard to like/dislike etc in business collaboration:

    —“I wish social media would die.”—

    Very Old New England of her to say that.

    Very proud of that woman.

    —“As an historian who had been studying insurgencies for over 50 years I knew the key question was not the current number of activists but the size of the recruiting pool. “How many people are potential recruits?”

    “Oh, about 3 to 5 percent of Islam,” a CIA analyst responded.

    “That would be 39 million to 65 million people,” I replied.

    Every analyst in the room nodded yes and smiled. That was what they had been trying to tell the Bush White House, they said. No one would listen.

    This was the moment in the movie Jaws where the police chief says “We’re going to need a bigger boat.””—

    WHEN ESTIMATING THE POWER OF REBELLIONS OR TERRORISTS THE QUESTION IS THE SIZE OF THE RECRUITING POOL, NOT THE ACTIVE NUMBER OF MEMBERS

    If we mobilized 3-5% of american males, that would be 15m total, with a distribution of young in the lower third – maybe 3-5M.

    That puts the scale in perspective. We are outnumbered by ten to one.

  • PROPAGANDA AS “APPLIED POSTMODERNISM” The last quarter of this talk is priceless

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKFObB6_naw&sns=emRUSSIAN PROPAGANDA AS “APPLIED POSTMODERNISM”

    The last quarter of this talk is priceless. Absolutely priceless.

    Lies repeated often become perceived as reality.

    The only cure is truth.

    Propertarianism: Information is a commons that like air, land, and sea we cannot harm.

    —“Broken Windows does work, only it needs to be policed via homogenous social cohesion. Requiring police to enforce Broken Windows is, together with bowling alone, a symptom of the same disease.”— Aaron Kahland

    http://thefreethoughtproject.com/nypd-proving-exist-revenue-generation/You should read this article to gain an understanding of the Broken Window strategy of policing, just as much as to understand that the police are a source of revenue generation. Broken Window works. That’s the problem. It works.

    “If you look at the literature, the specific meaning of the 97% claim is: 97 percent of climate scientists agree that there is a global warming trend and that human beings are the main cause–that is, that we are over 50% responsible. The warming is a whopping 0.8 degrees over the past 150 years, a warming that has tapered off to essentially nothing in the last decade and a half.”

    Thank you Skye Stewart

    (worth repeating)

    —“There is no reason we cannot create a market for (a) the construction of commons, just as we have created a market for (b) the provision of goods and services, and a ‘market’ for (c)the provision of mates: marriage. But to create a market for the construction of the commons, we must give up on the monopoly of decision making that we gave up under alpha monopoly of reproduction, that we gave up under totalitarian monopoly of organizing agricultural production in the fertile crescent – and now give up on monopoly of production of commons in government.”—
