  • by Anne Summers The inability to face Truth, and the ability to take comfort in

    by Anne Summers

    The inability to face Truth, and the ability to take comfort in an omission of Truth is causally dense and nuanced.

    Think of the poor guy who has to have his heart ripped out and frapped several times before he can accept that the “love” of his life isn’t. Even then, sometimes Truth can’t be brutal enough to get through to him about her nature.

    The pain one feels when they willfully and honestly stare straight into the Mirror (in the mythological context of soul, or self examination) is similar to placing flesh over an ionizer – only it radiates from the heart/chest cavity and gut. It’s not an condition where one’s tolerance of the experience is sustainable.

    I believe those conditions are the origin for the practices of sacrifice, sanctifying, purification and baptism. And later on in the ritual of expulsion what’s further conceptualized as forgiveness.

    Somehow, the evil of doing wrong, of being wrong had to be expunged, numbed, healed and renewed. Verity, Truth, kills those not annealed.

    (Truth is a luxury of security?)

    THE PRICE OF TRUTH

    You know, truth is merciless, and the deflation and criticism of both mercies and taboos painful for all. There are very few of us who can tolerate investigating the truth. There are very few who will tolerate observing it.

    I would prefer no one who knows me personally in real life read what I do, because they will eventually be horrified by something that violates their most sacred mythos.

    This is one of the prices we pay for the truth – regardless of consequences.

    –“Curt: Where is Roman?”–

    Roman has deleted his FB and Twitter Accounts, but still publishes on http://romaninukraine.com/ . You should follow him there. FYI: he has a wife and two year old that keeps him busy, and is working in management at a technology company in Ukraine. But he manages to publish quite a bit on his web site.

    — Interesting ukraine stuff —

    My favorite recent post on Romaninukraine is a rant about how banking with credit cards is literally impossible in Ukraine.

    The reason is simple: VISA/MC, AMEX have flagged the entire country as high risk. This means that your cards rarely work online, and never outside the country.

    I used German, UK, and Swiss banks.

    But it is not uncommon in ukraine for the owners or maintainers of ATM machines to sell your card information to crime networks. Nor is it uncommon for restaurants and merchants to sell or use your card information.

    I had to replace my cards, and have them sent from the UK about every three months.

    This is the primary ‘cost’ of dealing with life in ukraine: (a) you need a foreign bank, and (b) it’s a cash economy.

    Conversely, you can bribe people to get to the front of lines etc quite cheaply.Rafael AureliusBitcoin.Jun 21, 2018 6:42amCurt Doolittledream on.Jun 21, 2018 6:42amRafael AureliusAre you not a fan?Jun 21, 2018 6:43amCurt Doolittleit’s just a practical reality that its slow, costly, and not accepted in the mainstream.Jun 21, 2018 6:44amAnne SummersUkraine sounds like an interesting contrast.

    The Prussians first, and the Germans in general had ‘got it right’. Aside from immigration they still have it … close to right. What I can’t do is put their cultural biases in analytic prose (neither can they). One of my open questions is ‘why?’ That’s why I need to live there for 18 months. I’ll figure it out. I will. And I’ll figure out how to put it into law.

  • The Evolution of Movements

    Every movement starts as fringe, and edgy, attracting novelty junkies, dysfunctionals, rebels, and malcontents. And if it has any meat to it, increasingly upgrades from edge cases to some position in the hierarchy of argumentative structures that we call ideologies, philosophies, and institutional models. What we should expect to see, as we move up this hierarchy, is the exit of early entrants, and expansion of late entrants increasingly closer to the mainstream. The edge does the research but stays the edge. Utility is obtained, and as a consequence power is either obtained or not.
