Logic After Thought

This is an interesting discussion. What most people don't realise is that capitalism as we practice it now wastes 99.9% of the human and material resources we currently use. Once you realise that, the problems raised by the idea of gift or resource-based economies become much more tractable. At  10 minutes 30 seconds  the discussion turns to the way we treat our family and friends differently. We don't charge our nearest and dearest. At this point Molyneux brings in Neo-Darwinian evolution to explain why there is this difference between the way we treat our kith and kin to the way we treat everybody else. I guess he will go on to argue that this is because we evolved to be like this, otherwise we would not have survived. He will presumably say that this is human nature and because it is genetically determined, nothing we can do short of a programme of eugenics and euthenasia will change that. Well, ... you know what my answer to that will be, ... something along the lines:

Incendence, I suppose, ... See  Anti-Gravity  and  AcTVism Munich on Collateral Murder and Technology . For the solution, see  Ernố Rubik , and read  Relational Semantics subtitled "The Evils of Lego" .

I heard a story about  Ernố Rubik  that was not entirely true, shall we say! In 1990 he became President of the Hungarian Engineering Academy. At  3 minutes 42 seconds  on the ability to recognise which situation the cube is in, see  A General Strategy for Solving Problems by Analysis of Situational Logic . This is what I call abstraction. The nature of abstraction is essentially linguistic, and is easier to understand if you study simple formal languages such as the lambda calculus . In such formal languages, the idea of abstraction is captured by the notion of a bound variable, which is a way of associating a name to part of a more complex expression where the name is essentially a place-holder for some as yet unspecified  part of the whole expression. So in the case of the Rubik's cube abstraction of an algorithm to, say, rotate one edge cube so that the colours are swapped, can be specified regardless of which of the twelve edges contains the cube being rotated, and regard

This appeared a few minutes ago: This is now age-restricted: I guess they, or YouTube, want me to point out this brilliant lecture by Hannah Arendt. See in particular from  4 minutes 46 seconds : See  Hannah Arendt on Pathological Political Associations . See also this: If you still don't understand the relevance then perhaps someone at WikiLeaks can explain it? I have tried, but it seems nobody understands me. Maybe ask John Pilger to explain my problem? I honestly believe that sometimes violence is necessary, when all attempts at reason fail. I believe in personal moral responsibility too. See  Shit Like This Really Fucking Pisses Me Off  and  Tthe Second Amendment  for why I have a problem with Grant Sanderson.

Dr. Knut Wittkowsi is an uncompromisingly straight-talking scientist, and he is fed up. See  Who is Knut M. Wittkowski?  He has been all but disowned by his former employer, The Rockefeller University,  The Rockefeller University releases statement concerning Knut Wittkowski  the day before they announced  Stavros Niarchos Foundation donates $3 million to Rockefeller COVID-19 research . Well, when you consider he is a biostatistician with well over thirty years experience working with some of the best in the field, ... and he comes out with gems like this, at  20 minutes 30 seconds , ... he probably knows the reality underlying research funding: From  Journeyman Pictures Four-part Series on The Pandemic . The interesting thing is that we only really understand herd-immunity as a statistical phenomenon.  So nobody can explain how  or why  it works, but statisticians can explain how we know it a real thing, and that it is in fact the only  way any epidemic ends.

The only way you can criticise the monetary policies of the ECB is by calling it drama. So now all the world's a stage, ... ... but this isn't so new, is it? ... some are better at it than others though, ... for fuck's sake, you put this complete crap in the opening scene?

I don't understand this joke. Is it about Police corruption?

I don't know what the fuck he's talking about here! But why does he sound like Kermit the frog when Miss Piggy has her hand between his legs? You know what I think Billy Boy? I think you know  that you are talking utter crap, but you're not smart enough to invent a story that isn't so transparently bullshit. You never were any good at lying, because the truth is, Bill, you're thicker than really fucking stupid shit.  See  Men Talking Crap :  › Here's another good read. This is one of the most thoughtful of the pieces on this theme that have appeared in the past few weeks. ... Unfortunately you won't see the piece he quotes here https://www.aei.org/papers/economics/a-new-measure-of-consumption-inequality/ because it's now just a 404 error. But I can tell you it was a piece of transparent bullshit and you'd have to have been severely educationally retarded not to have seen that immediately. This is the paragraph on Billy's BS Blog to whic

Anastasia Lin  is a Chinese human rights advocate who now lives in Canada. The government she describes would be a real asset for any group of globalist neo-liberals who managed to successfully infiltrate it. They would have a source of labour cheaper even than prison labour in the United States, and they could use to take over countries like Bolivia and Pakistan without attracting any international attention. See  Oil Futures Negative  and  Bill Gates is Much, Much Smarter than I Am . Hanna Arendt was a master at getting her point across obliquely. She was talking there about the United States. See  Hannah Arendt on Pathological Political Associations . Now listen to this, especially on institutionalised racism at  8 minutes 10 seconds :

I like this! Kind of Bogart plays Bodie, ...

So, have we worked out now that we hardly need any of this stuff to live? That seems too good to be true. I think it more likely that some people have worked out how to rig the real market by shorting futures. At  5 minutes 55  so the Bank of Japan just gave away a whole lot of money. You would think shit like that would cause inflation, ... I was so happy when I first heard this, almost two years ago. It still makes me happy, but what the fuck happened to the USA Donald? Somebody in Hollywood screwed up again? I have to ask your son-in-law? Who the fuck elected him? See  More Ludicrous Nonsense from Wall Street .

See  John Searle on Intention and Meaning . He thinks he's done the best job he could have under the circumstances. He has been working with experts from all around the 🌍🌎🌏 ... At @WHO , we are an open book. Technical experts from around the 🌍 are always embedded in our operations, working hand-in-hand with our own employees to scrutinize global data & make scientific deductions. This is how we always operate, incl from Day 1 of the #COVID19 outbreak. pic.twitter.com/IttwjOcBZC — Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) April 20, 2020 The question is how  did he decide who were the experts, and how did he make sure they were in communication with him? See  We Need Data and We Need Secure Telecommunications  and then see  John Ioannadis on The Wider Consequences of Viral BS . The only experts mentioned are the 15 details from the United States Government Center for Disease Control, who have been working there since 1st January. Well, no wonder Trump cut off US go

See  Journeyman Pictures Three-part Series on The Pandemic  and  John Ioannadis (Stanford) On Data Analysis and Mass Media Overreaction . At  22 minutes 10 seconds , the death statistics in NYC may be exaggerrated because they include cases where there is merely a possibility of COVID-19 being implicated, but no actual clinical evidence. See this March 24th CDC/NCHS advisory, supposedly made to increase the accuracy of statistics:  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf This was certainly a contributing factor to reports by Voice of America of mortuaries overflowing like  this one  and mass graves like  this one . At  25 minutes 50 seconds  people under 65 account for less than 1% of COVID-19 deaths in European cities. But the figures in New York are different and it is not clear why. For most people under 65, the risk of dying after being infected by COVID-19 is about the same as the risk of dying in a road ac

You cannot even begin to understand the problem until you have secure telecommunications and transparency. To have so-called governments engaging in trade talk or oil price talks, or talks on anything connected with the global economy is a charade. The problem is the interdependence of the central banks through derivatives. You have to have secure telecommunications and secure computing systems to sort this out. See  John Searle on Intention and Meaning  for more on the perils of secrecy. This video has more of the details. ... people don't even think this is particularly outrageous anymore: ... because it's been going on since before most people alive today were born.

As long you only use services run by felching faggots with offices in California. People like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey. Uncle Sam needs YU to keep the ludicrous farce that is the Chinese/German/American/Japanese/British/Indian/Russian/Korean/South African/New Zealand viral bullshit economic charade going:

Good night.

Listening to Searle talking from  22 minutes 11 seconds  on the importance of intention in determining the meaning of an utterance, ... well, it's pretty obvious isn't it, at least once it's been pointed out to one like this. But when, or if,  you listen to him, you see the futility of attempting to do public service in secret. Any body who attempted such a foolish thing would very rapidly disappear into a quagmire of meaningless, insane and criminal acts.

For the right way to do it, see  Indiana Jade on Information and Representation  and  Rewrite - SciFi Short .

I didn't really think about it much until I heard Hannah Fry saying that it is standard advice when doing voice recordings not to eat gluten because it makes your mouth make 'sticky' noises when you speak.

There is no reason to believe this pandemic even exists, because we have no proper communications between professionals.

He says the first tests used in Wuhan were based on a technique used to develop indicators for certain types of lung cancer. They are RT PCR , which is PCR on RNA sequences. An indicator is not a test, it is merely a data point which can be combined statistically with others to provide a whole set of tests which one hopes will be more or less effective in detecting some type of cancer.

This is an excellent  AcTVism Munich interview. At  28 minutes 10 seconds  Wolff points out that the financial crises are always named after the events that triggered them, as if the idea of capitalism was intrinsically sound, but that these unforseen problems were to blame for the occasional collapses that happen. If that is so, then why was Bill Gates running around for several years talking an impending pandemic? This was foreseen, by someone well connected with Wall St. (Gates was on the board of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway). So why wasn't the financial system able to take the hit, Bill? Because the US Government didn't spend enough? You know what I think, Bill? I think you're a fucking little crook and that you're on your way to prison!

We are being taught a lesson by the virus. You can turn on English subtitles if you need them. See  COVID-CoV2-19 Is A Test of a Population's General Level of Health  and  Male Suicide .

The death figures for March from the UK Office of National Statistics show that this is a pandemic amongst mostly people who are chronically ill. Of those who died, fewer than 10% did not have any other co-morbid condition. The remainder had on average between two to three other diseases. What I find suspicious however is the absence of statistics on how many deaths occurred in hospitals or nursing homes, and the absence of statistics concerning bacterial infections contracted in hospital. Are these really negligible? See  Former CDC Director Tom Frieden on US Healthcare . What this confirms is that if we can increase the general level of health then these pandemics will simply not be a problem. See  Male Suicide . This demonstrates the almost total incompetence of the WHO. See  This Shows The Sort of People Behind Outbreaks of Viral BS . Statistics such as these should have been being collected world-wide because they are vital to producing an effective strategy for combating
