'Er Maj. Puts George Gallow[s w]ay in Mind of Vera Lynn

... and Roger Waters' The Wall, I shouldn't wonder!


His speech puts me in mind of George Formby. Quite prophetically, I think:


Being reunited with my family sounds much more like a threat than a promise. What I want to see, marm, is you and your so-called government reunited with their senses. Particularly their sense of reality! I am not the property of the Crown or the so-called University of Cambridge or of the British people. I don't care how many bullshit movies you make about it!!

See All About Eve - December and WION - Love in The Time of Coronavirus.

Another Royal Command performance, marm? This time served with Prawn Coctail flavoured crisps and Thousand Island™ dressing?


Which strings? Let's start here, with a bucket of dicks, shall we?


Don't worry, we'll get here quickly enough! Queen Elizabeth II Hosts NATO Conference via Polly Samson's Theatre for Dreamers. And thence to Freeman Dyson Making Complete Sense of Modern Physics and Nick Cave on Being Stalked Like a White Hind and A Science Project for Young Witches and Element 14 Learning Videos and On Tidal Power Generation:


To the Bahamas, via Panama, George Galloway on Assange Extradition Hearing and on to 'offshore' secret banking in EC1! Hysteria and Ignorance Kills. Fair makes yer 'ead spin, don't it, marm?

My prognosis: this almighty fucking mess you're all in, marm, is not one that even Jesus Christ Superstar could get you out of! This is the kind of mess that takes centuries to clear up, so please don't expect me to do it for you in secret!! Talk about a bloody liberty!!!! High Hopes indeed:


I, marm, am not even granted the privilege to access my own photographs taken with a camera I made out of cardboard, rubber bands discarded in the street by the (privatized) Royal Mail and bits of aluminium drink can.

Stefan Molyneux on Resource Based Economy

Image
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:

Sabine Hossenfelder - Lost in Math

Image
Sabine's book,  Lost in Math published in 2018. See  Rebecca Smethurst on the Crisis in Cosmology . Here's an interview on the subject of the book: At 16 minutes 27 seconds on aesthetics in a theory. I think you should worry first and foremost about whether or not it works, otherwise you are not doing empirical science. At 19 minutes 19 seconds on whether there would be better ways to advance physics other than by building the next generation of super high-energy particle collider. This is similar to military spending and it's really just an artefact of Keynesian monetary theory: that you can create 'wealth' by employing men to dig holes in the road and fill them up again. Of course you are not creating real wealth, you are destroying it and creating fake money. The upshot is that the better ways of spending much, much less money on encouraging sound scientific teaching and research are not of any interest, because they don't employ nearly so ma

Nikola Tesla and the End of The World

At  1 minute 21 seconds  the building in the background, in Trafalgar Square , as she says "There is a story in our family that my great grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla, ..." is ... ... what? Hint: it is near to a statue of George Washington, a replica donated by the  Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921 .  See  War Crimes . Watch all four episodes of  Nikola Tesla and the End of The World  and then watch this: And on the meaning of the word sovereignty see: On the Mason-Dixon Line, the "boundary of slavery" in the American colonies, it might be insightful to compare the  Britannica  and  Wikipedia  entries and see where they differ. Then, especially if you're my daughter, see  On Feminist Genealogy . Then see this documentary about Mark Knopfler and what motivates his music. There's a nice bit at  17 minutes  about where songs come from, and what happens to their origin, and the role of Town Planners like my father, in this process, part
