Operation ideation: Boffins unite!

Systems are better than personalities. Networks are better than individuals. Boffins come up with a better plan to manage the physical economy. A plan so comprehensive, it expects the unexpected, it anticipates... and it operates smoothly with few moving parts.

A prayer for the end of slavery ideation in America.

In the American context, slavery is not just against black or brown people, but against women as well. The revocation of human rights is ultimately against the poor white man, placing the ladder of success high above his head.

Three things that can always borrow: Governments can always borrow, families can always borrow, churches can always borrow. What is common to these three things?

(The list is non-exclusive. Corporations can always borrow, albeit at astronomical rates, unless and until they close shop.)

For a brief time on earth the dream of peace was not so ridiculous. But now that dream is fading.

Awake!, the dream of peace!

Last night's dream was an American colony in the early stage, where the rule of the day was to stake a claim and then endure all incumbent dangers. Unimaginable work to build a courtyard, but it is by imagining that most of the work is done.

"You know the thing about the Pope smoke, right? If it's a boy Pope, it's blue smoke, but if it's a girl Pope, it's pink smoke."

I told this joke, and then my family started reminding me about "boy nun". We don't even have time for boy nun.

Boy nun: Does he fly???

Nota bene: If you ever find yourself in a leadership position, when drafting your written plan, do not fail to include the section titled, "Morale".

Yes! Was able to build the web app that will allow me to study the things that will allow me to build the web app I want to build.

Mostly :0p

Early days but still good progress, considering I only have time to code when on tea or lunch break.

Here are some of the first fruits

Interesting. Tech is in pursuit of AGI, reckoning that intelligence is the thing. Douglas Adams posited Genuine People Personalities, suggesting that personality was the market winning idea. Until today, it seems that personality, as such, has not occurred to Tech.

O'Connor says that because no private life is permitted for the Irish man, there is no novel to be written in the Irish context, only short stories. Something like, "For the Irish man, private life begins at Holyhead."

My wife wants me to adopt an Irish wolf hound puppy! I need you to understand how this will change my life! I might not have time to go to work anymore. I might not have time to eat, or to bathe myself. They will rename me, Dances With Wolf Hounds.

Realistic is not the same as the real. Realistic acts like an -ism. People hit you with realistic in an effort to get you to accept a paradigm, generally an oppressive one. When people ask you to be real, they are asking you to resonate with what you know to be true at each level of your being.

So it turns out that even in this timeline playing fast and loose with the law will take you only so far.

"... after finding that the prosecutor had been illegally appointed."
