    (Rumination on the deterministic centralization of banking)

    Well, you know, I’m on the optimistic side, and I thought there was at least a reasonable chance the feds could get ahead of this self-created contagion so that it wouldn’t spiral very quickly, but you can see where this banking episode is going, employment is going, the workforce threat is coming from, the demographic threat is coming from, strategic threats are coming from, and I think the ‘experiment’ with Keynesian limits – much of which occurred in my lifetime – is on the way to being over. It’s no solace that Austrians get to say “I told you so” as we did in 2008.

    Between JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and Visa we might as well nationalize it all. Because the “Red State Banks” are going to have a really hard time pretty soon.

    Unfortunately, the govt is too slow with FEDCOIN. And the blue-red-grey war in culture and Congress is so divisive (and unresolvable and at least for the right, unforgivable), when combined with the complete impossibility of a democratic government with short-term service to produce and execute strategic planning outside of the military – means that nothing will change until a crisis occurs.

    That said, I still don’t see how the world runs anywhere but the USA and the Dollar as this crisis and the subsequent decline of global trade contracts, and wealthy populations continue to collapse.

    I bought a second house and gave myself a 30K budget to furnish it with antiques. Any guess what I ended up spending? Yeah. It wasn’t 30k. 😉

    GOING THROUGH YOUR OPPOSITE’S PHONE?
    I follow Heinlein’s advice that women need private spaces for their little fears, emotions, loves, copes and insanities, so I don’t want to intrude on her phone, purse, computer, or desk without invitation. But I am happy for any woman I’m in a relationship with (really, any woman at all) to go through my phone. Other than a rather eccentric sense of humor and proper new england man-to-man trash talking, I don’t say anything I wouldn’t want printed in the newspaper. That said, I DO keep a set of directories of photos for every woman I’ve ever been in a relationship with – because I love all of them (at least in memory) and it makes me happy to review them now and then. And I would expect a woman to respect my love of those memories like I would respect hers. I’ve told each woman I do this, and for some reason they think it’s fine. They just don’t want to look thru them themselves. 😉 I can think of a few exceptions when I’ve talked to an ex about a problem of hers or mine that I’d prefer were kept private, but I generally would communicate what I’d done and said, so that my mate wouldn’t have reason to doubt.

    RE: BIONIC READING
    The Chrome plugin isn’t good. No.

    Also, the tactic doesn’t help for all conditions. ie: most helpful when hard to keep place in a body of text, or when reading complex text, or when scanning for specific content in text. Imagine it on large font text and it’s annoying.

    Options to assist the reader are:
    Upper-Lower case, given lower case is more readable but upper case indexes new context, First Few Letters, Phoneme, Root, Word, Multi-Word Term, and Phrase.

    I use word, multiword-term, and phrase.

    I can understand first root or min phonemes but random first letters isn’t intelligent enough, so automating it requires a lookup(like spell checkers) or AI.

    More later (meeting time), but quickly, the three jewish legal scholars (like Bentham and Rawls) are working to justify authoritarian (positive) law as used in the Jewish system, and adopted by the French as continental law.

    The ‘evil’ of this model isn’t apparent until you understand our traditional (Natural) law, as the very opposite in origin.

    I’ll address it later. ‘Cause it’s fun. 😉
