Fabian socialists drew the fire of fellow leftists when they abandoned revolution for methodical evolution to institute social changes. Turns out, the Fabian strategy worked. Boil the frog slowly. We talk about the American Revolution, but the American Evolution is more on-point.

Recklessness is elective "bad luck". If we taught kids to view it that way, how many would continue to be irresponsible? How many would still fall for the hard luck stories of grifters, who try to wring tears and empathy out of you for all the "bad luck" they've experienced?

95% of Fortune 500 companies now use A.I. in Human Resources departments for hiring. A.I. promises to impart insights based on pattern recognition. As pattern recognition in humans is stigmatized as "racism and sexism," the same function is lauded when called "machine learning".

Since WW2, they subtly changed advocacy from the "American people" to the "American system". The people are now held to be an irrelevancy. Replaceable. They've decoupled the "publica" from "res publica". Now our form of government is a "res system". So resist 'em.

Leftists often challenge their critics, defying them to define "woke". I would define it as "The pathologization of the normal, & the normalization of the pathological". "What??? You are skeptical of the outsider & prefer your own tribe?!" Yes, that's historically normal & human.

Listening to songs from the '80s, I was astonished at the number that hit on the topic of nuclear war. Likewise, all our movies & TV shows carried up this theme. PSTD was induced in us BEFORE an event took place (instead of after, as would happen in Nature). Paranoia = pre-PTSD.

In no serious country should someone like me be allowed to vote.

Notice how the same people who say that "divisiveness" is bad are the same people who assert that Collectivism is evil. Wait! So being unified is evil [because it's collectivism], but being divided & conquered is good? So divisiveness IS good? (Make it make sense.)

The innovator worries about someone stealing his idea. But the greatest threat to an idea is not the plagiarist, but the first man who misunderstands that idea.

When one does not have the grace to listen to friends, God mercifully sends one enemies to impart important lessons.

99% of the universe is plasma. Yet we ignore it, concentrating instead of solid, liquid and gas. If objects "off-gas" [especially during decay], what if living things have a sort of faint bioluminescence because we "off-plasma"? What if this is what psychics perceive as an aura?

In Antiquity & the Middle Ages "hate" was never stigmatized; "niceness" was. "Nice" derives from a Greek word meaning "ignorant". Aesop and Grimm's Fairy Tales trained kids not to be trusting (especially to outsiders). Today, gullibility is cultivated. We're trained to be victims

Success is reaching a point in life where, even if you won the lottery, you wouldn't drastically change the way in which you live. If you can achieve this point, money is largely irrelevant to your happiness. Me? My happiness is books, music & a warm cup of coffee on a cold day.

Lord Lothian on America signing onto NATO after WW2: "The United States must never realize that in joining this alliance, they are reversing the Declaration of Independence and re-entering the British Empire by the back door."

As legacy media loses influence, you see them calling to deplatform upstarts. They're withdrawing from their original marketplace of ideas trope. "Certain ideas don't belong in the storefront to be purchased!" In reality we're just not "buying" what they have to sell anymore.
