The Brain

It's stupid, so I guess it's very common.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Always really sad to see when the contagion is passed down a generation.

From my niece's husband:

Is it normal for active Army personnel to post publicly about "the tyrannical government"? :unsure:

No, but it is unusual for active Army personnel to whine about a given new mandatory inoculation when they've had about a dozen mandatory inoculations already. 
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The Minsky Moment

 No that is NOT what a book burning looks like :lol:

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
--Joan Robinson

The Minsky Moment

Note that the FB post is about "regulated goods."  I.e. the whiner here was trying to make a buck selling snake oil on Facebook.  If a private company can't be compelled to provide appropriate health care to their workers (Hobby Lobby) it shouldn't be forced to provide a platform for grifters to scam their user base.

Eliminating the evidence doesn't improve accuracy.  :huh:

We've seen enough evidence by now.  The if is no longer necessary and the statement can simply be declarative.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.
