Razgovory

I love these sort of deep thoughts that put our tiny little lives in perspective.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

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.

I'm surprised that this hasn't come out before (unless I missed it). It's brilliant.
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

Also says something when people draw an equivalence in terms of rational degrees of skepticism between one of the world's leading immunologists, and a class action lawyer who claims that his brain was half-eaten by a parasitic worm.
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.

Fauci never even said anything that out of line with what the other doctors around the world were saying did he? I never understood why he in particular became a villain.

But then I just talked to some doctors I knew personally and followed their advice, I wasn't paying much attention to what the news was saying. I suddenly had to home school a 2nd and 3rd grader.

He became a villain when he was caught on camera laughing when Trump said something stupid.

I don't know about other countries (though I'm curious. Anyone?) but in the UK our chief medical officer during covid also recieved (recieves) a lot of shit from conspiracy nuts.
I guess it's to be expected in a country where such views are more mainstream the level of insane hate would be too?
