  • Just Ignore the F-King Crazies

    Oct 23, 2019, 3:25 PM I don’t try to understand whacky behavior. I limit myself to understanding whacky arguments that poison the well so to speak. Some people are circumstantially crazy as a release valve – and we can usually understand those people quickly and let them pass. But there is no explanation for, and none required for ‘f-cking crazy’ other than ‘f-cking crazy’. Move along. Explaining f–ked up people is just another form of self aggrandizement. Don’t take the psychological bait. Improve yourself constantly. ignore the f-king crazies.

CURRENT CONDITION So yeah, but they were the only technology available. We have … Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Repair) … … Self Authoring Virtues (Stoic Method) (improve) … … … Self Choice (epicureanism – living well within means) … … … … Natural law of Reciprocity, Independent Judiciary … … … … … History, Reason, science, technology, prosperity.

REASON … Because we have ancestors worthy of our debt to them, and because we can create (easily) our debt to one another. STRATEGY “Embrace, conquer, and domesticate reality – together – do not cower from it.”

    —-“They know no other means of asserting authority. They live in a world run by arbitrary rules and appeals to phony authority. They project their inability to imagine any other system of organization. Humans might as well live in cages given these perceptual traps. They manifest the health of animals in cages.”—Brandon Hayes

  • White, Grey, Black, Lies in P-Law

    Oct 29, 2019, 7:54 PM by Stephen Thomas No one really cares if you lie for vanity’s sake. That’s a white lie.

    Libel, Slander False Advertising Baiting into Hazard Fraud private or Political Subversion of the Commons Conspiracy to subvert the Commons All of which are well defined. Those are black lies. You must lie in public to the public about matters public or conspire to propagate lies to the public about matters public And worse, you mustn’t lie FROM a position OF influence TO the public ABOUT the public, about products, policy, economics, science or law. If you want to tell everyone you wear the wrong size shoe. No one is gonna to arrest you. We will however laugh at you for being so damn petty!

    (—“I would tell you your baby’s is cute, your children are beautiful, your wife is lovely, and you are charming, brave, and witty. None of those is true. But they demonstrate I will invest in building trust in our relationship.”—CurtD )
