Greetings good citizen, as we enter the last few weeks of Blogger I thought I'd pull some old hobby horses out of their dusty stalls and take them for one last ride.
Can you guess which one tops today's offering? Didn't think so, for all TV's hype psychic ability isn't nearly as prevalent as the writers would have you think...and just in case you were wondering, time, which is a function of motion CAN'T be traversed multiple times in the direction of your choice. [If you're in a position to] You make your choices and then you move forward...or if you are like most of us, your choices are made for you and you learn live with them...
And no, this is not an exploration of what is 'impossible'. For today's purposes, the height of the bar is directly proportional to the quality of the data...which is only half of the equation; the other half is the observer's ability to comprehend the information and act to effect the outcome.
With this much of the puzzle exposed, Constant reader can now posit I have remounted an old and dusty hobby horse that used to figure prominently in my tirades, that of it not being possible to making informed decisions inside an informational vacuum.
Yet decisions get made all the time with decidedly 'imperfect' data.
The world you wake up to daily is the result of this foolhardy procedure.
No, criticism ISN'T 'unfair'. Your dearth of information isn't an accident, you are mis-informed to protect the guilty.
Is this any way to conduct a civilization? Of course not but nobody is doing anything about 'business as usual' so the prevailing sentiment is that we are being driven off a cliff by the greed of the self-interested who mistakenly BELIEVE [thanks to Adam Smith] that they are doing the best thing for EVERYBODY!]
One more time, slow and in English...we must STOP following the hopelessly STUPID! [See current POTUS as the 'poster child'.]
Seriously, how f'n STUPID are the people in charge of the banking system?
Rhetorical question, good citizen as the answer is well known: MIGHTY!
How fortunate for them their customers are suffering from a near terminal case of ignorant that turns fatal with frightening regularity.
This is the malaize that currently affects modern society...largely because there is no 'cure' being put forth.
The 'fix' lies in reducing expense while broadening the customer base...and there in NO SHORTAGE of work that NEEDS doing despite entire 'industries' [which are essentially fronts for criminal enterprises] being eliminated.
Everybody knows change is vital if humanity is to move forward but nobody who is exploiting their 'accident of birth' has any interest in making the necessary changes.
Originality is not (current) 'leaderships' strong suit. They are following a woefully outdated gameplan they fail to see how it can be 'improved upon'.
Because, to belabor the obvious, they lack imagination. They fail to see how much 'better off' they will be in a world where everybody prospers and obeys a few simple rules.
Life is only complicated because the weasels make it that way.
Death to the weasels!
Thanks once again for letting something other than BS inside your head,

If it smells like BS there is no need to taste it, it's bullshit.
