66. I am making a weave like the POTUS quietly

(Thankfully except these parasitic creeps who flood my street i am mostly invisible if stuff doesn’t spill out again)
Your favorite forum is Environment and Energy.

I think He is dead. Or dying..inside my head. It doesn’t matter as much that his creepy supporters are everywhere. If nothing is receptive to him then its a start.
But that is a temporary fix. Headphones are not the answer. Stringent regulation is.


Neural darwinism.

Your posts are more profound than I realized. Thank you. Well I thank many/most of you on DU/Current Affairs/Salon and Quanta Mag/Andy Nikiforuk on the Tyee. I am not inventive enough so it is some of you. But it is my brain (a notoriously stubborn organ which could give the deaf adder a run for its money) so at least its accepted your input.

This is rough work. I guess I would initially be inclined to give these links (which were useful to me) to hatrack whom I not only value and trust, but who also represents a time when life was simpler which I should probably give up on.


I think listening is my function not speaking/writing. Science is different. Not really an area of plagiarism concern.

But you are one of the first aside from hatrack and EarlG I can easily attribute.


Well what comes through. I have no idea if you will see this tbh.

Well I know what to do. Maybe I do not know the exact way to attribute.

But thank you. I rely on people I like to support who have talent. I see no shame in being a drone. That is totally a valid and respectable function imo. We aren’t all the same. I am too self-conscious and over-sensitive for not-drone work (surreptitious dabbling in anything less dull than ditchwater aside).

I am very stingy about attribution because I disapprove of theft. You see, people ruin things they steal. Because to hide theft you have to decimate something and sell it at a fraction of the cost.

I just got it..vaccine. Rather profound. After these many iterations I can use it. But this is positive relative to the negative.

Thanks.
No time to lose.

I dislike Malcolm Gladwell though 👎:

I know I have not included anything related to the war zones or sexual harassment/racism/violence. But it is more about I suppose how I see what is in good taste. These are more analytical.

You are pretty cryptic yourself so somehow it fits.

Thanks. Now the heavy lifting is all that is left. I am happy. There is no such thing as happiness and relief for oneself without misery and unhappiness for some who bloody well deserve it.

I have been frustrated by this thing where I am sure I have people to thank and others I think are really awful.
I wish I could target it better. I would only use a portal that Earlg controls.
I have to redo this post so it isn’t a mess.
