But in the end what Obama did that is unforgivable is increasing centralization in a complex system.-- Taleb
Liz got some serious positive feedback at work this week.
I went to bed with the Dodgers up 3-1 and Kershaw pitching. Then all hell broke loose.
Will it be Cole vs. Glasnow and Charlie Morton? Discouraging.
Nice toime with Jaanne Kane at dinner last night.
So the Kurds did not help us at Normandy? That logic will appeal to the people who think a first generation Italian-American is responsible for the seventeenth British slavery tradition in the American colonies.
Forgetting History
I spent a long time criticizing an article on forgetting history. The writer was comparing the cultural phenomenon of gradually having lessons of history drip away and used as his examples the avaunt guard vaccine refusals and the rise of right-wing sentiments. While we may not remember epidemics, we are not immune to reading about them. We don't have to have recent volcano experience to have some reasonable caution regarding their potential. And if such a forgetting is real, then we will forget war--that sounds fatal. But the idea that the right-wing threat is forgotten is curious. One would think that the danger of right-wing belief pales before the threat of the centralized state and the horrors it has created in the last century and has proud, numerous advocates now.
But somehow I lost the article so we are left with this remnant.
