Question 8

Question 8

Is there any hypocrisy that can rival the outrage over the rare and psychotic "Holocaust denial"  and at the same time ignore the gigantic and wholesale murders of just about anyone they can get their hands on by the nations of the Left?

ABC's News Stephanopolous' interview with Biden had a long segment where Biden was distracted and unclear. They cut it out of the interview. Wasn't that the real news in the interview?

What is the main offense of slavery? It is the loss of freedom, the contraction of a man's influence over his own life and his life's expression and putting them in the hands of another. It is the new and energetic development of the concept of freedom that uprooted slavery. So, then, are the efforts of the government to shape the individual to larger social concerns a similar offense?

Should the Washington Football Team be called the Voldamorts?

'In lieu of answers, what has emerged is a host of case studies providing somewhat different pictures of breakthrough infections.' This is a quote from MSN. Is there anyone, anyone, who thinks this is a reasonable scientific mindset and should be considered?

'There is not first a society which then gives itself rules, but it is common rules which weld dispersed bands into a society.' Hayek said that. Why is that not repeated more often?

Elder has been criticized by the Left in California as 'using race as a weapon.' Huh?

An old German law from Hitler’s time allowed Afghans free entry into Germany still in 1979, as honorary Aryans. Before the German authorities changed the law, tens of thousands of Afghans took refuge in Germany when the Soviets entered and carpet-bombed the old feudal qalas. Aren't traditions uplifting?

Throughout the world, the 'reds' have been the socialists, the Marxists, and their assorted homicidal redistributionist cousins in conversation, press accounts, and tradition. So, why, in the U.S., are the leftist states 'blue' and the conservative states 'red?' Was that purposeful?

The Pirates put Polanco on waivers because, they said, they wanted to give him a chance to play for a contender. Have we become immune to mendacity?

How does George Zimmerman feel about defunding the police?

Next week is "Black Breastfeeding Week." The posters say "Closing The Gap!" 

Are all disparities provoked?

The Press is excited about the new group in Afghanistan, ISIS-K. Is that like the Delta Variant?

So the Army was ordered to pull out before the embassy workers. Then they asked the Taliban to provide security. Are these people children?

Freedom is a new concept in history, a product of civilization and thought. So, are tyrants convinced that individuals cannot manage their own freedom? Or are these grasps for power more personal? And are we strong enough to live completely free of cultural moorings?

Question 7

Question 7

We have been hearing about the 'Taliban' in Afghanistan for years. Now that whatever period of the last years is over, we are hearing a lot about tribes, provinces, and rivalries. Does that mean there's no organization, no structure? And if so, what have we been bombing for all this time?

Richard Smith, the former editor of the BMJ, writes that medical research has become so dishonest that “We have now reached a point where those doing systematic reviews must start by assuming that a study is fraudulent until they can have some evidence to the contrary.” Now, is that a really scary notion or not?

Since memory has been shown to be more creative and shaped than recording, can we stop reading Proust?

If you favor university vaccine mandates for low-risk American and European students, when there are not enough vaccines for older high-risk people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, are you virtue-signaling or insincere? Or are you just defaulting to an easy solution for simplicity's sake?

The last American combat death in Afghanistan was 16 months ago. Is that consistent with a 'war?'

Is it my imagination or is news reporting beginning to resemble battlefield reporting?

I googled the hurricane coming to New York and the site made a big effort to make sure I knew how to pronounce "Henri." Storms have feelings too? First things first?

Is finding a host for 'Jeapardy' no easier than withdrawing from Afghanistan?

Encounters at America’s southern border have already exceeded one million this year and reached a 21-year high of 212,672 last month. For July, that breaks down to 6,860 encounters every day, 286 every hour and almost 5 every minute. And that’s just counting the actual “encounters” at the border and not the many who likely crossed the Texas border undetected and “unencountered.” But we've got the Canadian border locked down tight, right?

The collapse of US newspaper jobs continues – by 77% from the peak of 458,000 jobs in the early 1990s to barely more than 100,000 jobs today. So, are they not doing something right?

According to the National Science Foundation, the share of bachelor degrees in “Science and Engineering” between 2008 and 2018 at US colleges and universities were almost evenly split between women and men (the NSF includes social and behavioral sciences). But don’t we hear all the time about the concern about the “shortage of women in STEM”? Or are 'social and behavioral sciences' not really science?

“If you think biological complexity can come about through unplanned emergence and not need an intelligent designer, then why would you think human society needs an ‘intelligent government’?” --Ridley

CBS News published an article Friday claiming global warming was a major factor in the Taliban overrunning Afghanistan and creating murderous chaos throughout the country, rather than political ineptitude.
CBS News argues that global warming created horrible weather conditions that decimated crop production during the past 30 years in the country, and the Taliban fed off the misery experienced by Afghan farmers. Are those crops drugs?

Recent data shows women leaving the workforce at four times the rate of men -- a number of experts chalk up to the increased burden of having children home from school. Do you smell some inequality there?

An opening paragraph from Bloomberg: Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t: Vaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate. But exactly how often isn’t clear, nor is it certain how likely they are to spread the virus to others. Read that again. Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t?

So the vaccine is unproven and may be unsafe so we should all take a livestock deworming drug?

Scruton on post-truth: 'The inspiration was Marx, whose theory of ideology put power above truth as the motive of political thinking. For the sixties Marxist my thinking is science, yours ideology: mine is the true voice of history, yours the ‘false consciousness’ of the bourgeoisie. Foucault rephrased the idea in terms of the episteme of a culture – the fabric of concepts and arguments that the ruling class lays over society so that every voice speaks with its terms. This was the dominant approach to the humanities in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and the way of thinking that has come recently to the surface in the apostles of the Momentum movement. It defined the position of the polytechnic left, who believed that ideas, beliefs and arguments are not to be judged in terms of their truth, but in terms of the ‘class’, ‘hegemony’ or ‘power structure’ that speaks through them. The question to be asked of every adversary was not ‘what are your arguments?’ but ‘where are you speaking from?’ That, to me, was the beginning of the post-truth culture.' 

So the problem isn't the existence of truth, only that truth doesn't necessarily lead to human reality? Does that sound a little New Testament?

Question 6

Question 6


The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials. (Reuters) Is someone surprised at this?

The airlines continue to punish you for the simplest conveniences. Why don't they just add a few bucks on for coffee or coke instead of providing the hassled traveler with a thousand confrontational tollbooths?

The Guardian has an article on Biden's decision to withdraw from the economic and military risks in Afghanistan, and his decision to give a third vaccine to the Americans before giving vaccines to foreigners. They think this is a shift toward a more American-centric policy. Is that like "America First?"

Evidence from heavily vaccinated countries, including Israel, Iceland, and the U.K., reveals that vaccination doesn’t stop disease spread. It provides a personal benefit – reduced disease severity upon infection – but little public benefit. Is this a hallmark of modern Western thought, the mandatory demand that ordinary people symbolically protect others from their bad decisions?

The Lancet-owned journal EClinicalMedicine just published a “study” purporting to document over 200 symptoms associated with so-called “Long Covid.” Dig a little deeper and you’ll find that this is yet another self-administered survey study conducted by the Body Politic Support Group – the alternative “wellness collective” organization that’s run by a professional psychic healer out of Boston who claims she can detect medical ailments by speaking to your dead ancestors.
Following the Science?

Did you know that the woman's pro wrestling champion is from the Pitt Dental School? 

A Chinese state spokesman reacted to the fall of Kabul to the Taliban Monday by saying the crisis has dealt a severe blow to U.S. “hegemony,” and suggesting allies like Taiwan should be careful about placing their trust in the U.S.
“Taliban’s rapid victory embarrasses U.S., smashes image, arrogance,” stated one headline in Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organ.

Are they wrong?

US energy production as a share of the nation’s energy consumption back to 1950 shows that the US went from energy self-sufficiency and being an energy exporter in 2019 and 2020 for the first time since the 1950s back to being an energy importer this year through April. Since we have just annihilated our reputation in the Middle East, is that a good idea?

335. That is how many children under 18 have died with a Covid diagnosis code in their record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vs. 600,000 overall. Yet the CDC, which has 21,000 employees, hasn’t researched each death to find out whether Covid caused it or if it involved a pre-existing medical condition. So, what does that 335 number mean?
(An aside. The number of children who are killed each year in motor vehicle accidents is multiple times higher than is the number who’ve died since January 2020 of Covid. In 2019 the number of children in the U.S. who died from cancerous tumors was, at 1,060, more than 150 percent higher than is the number who have so far died of Covid.)

Has any other vaccine in history had the Covid's scrutiny?

"Technology doesn't want to be good. It doesn't want to be bad, it's neutral. Technology will only work if it has people's trust." (Cook) But does the mistrust develop because of people's misuse?

Commissary Club is the exclusive social network for people with a criminal history. Is all bonding good?

In 2019, 450,000 died of TB in Africa, far more than the 160,112 who have died from Covid-19 there. Despite Covid devotees claiming that Covid-19 is the worst plague since the Black Death, TB is the leading infectious disease in the world, killing 1.4 million per year prior to 2020. Last year, after lockdowns, the death toll for TB rose to more than 1.66 million, including 230,000 children. So how exactly do we set our priorities?

Stanford University professor of medicine Jay Bhattacharya says there has long been a tension in public health between advising people how to be healthy and forcing them to be.
The professor himself was censored by social media back in April for appearing with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on a live panel, where some experts questioned the benefits of compulsory mask-wearing. “I thought it was good governance for the public to see a governor speaking publicly with experts, but instead it was removed from YouTube,” he says.

Did he really believe this culture encourages discussion?

According to the BMJ, studies show the oxygen deficiency caused by mask-wearing can lead to increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, and headaches. You probably knew that already, but the BMJ also says face masking can increase stress hormones, leading to ‘a negative impact on immune resilience in the long term.'

Should we be concerned?

Washington Post columnist – and CNN regular – Dr. Leana Wen, an M.D., insist that the government needs “to make vaccination the easy choice.”
Does she mean for the government to make not getting the vaccine so onerous that agreeing to the vaccine is easy?

 

Question 5

The meaning of the word "candidate" is from the same root word as "Candide" and "candid"; it means "white", "unadulterated", "unsullied". The original Greek candidates wore white. Should these guys wear quilts?

Remember how we have always been told how fierce and brave Afghan soldiers have always been? How come our Afghans aren't?

If the government becomes a benevolent power in our lives, it will be the first time ever. Ask Iraq. Ask New Orleans. Ask the pensioner with the ever-changing social security goalposts. Even the church has a spotty record. And the government is a notoriously inefficient and dishonest middleman. Where does this enthusiasm for government action come from?

Acton asked, was there a partition--permanent, fundamental, decisive--between friends of freedom and others?

The "risk" concept is essential to free markets. Every economic encounter should contain risk because risk is a proxy for responsibility. If you can buy a house with no money down and get 125% from the bank, you can walk away from the mortgage with 25% of the loan and put it in your pocket. No risk. No responsibility. What about no risk, no value?

There were assessments that were made on the implications of withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan. Would they be called "models?"

“Like those of imperial Rome, America’s elites are an urban and international group, perhaps on their way to forming a distinct transnational class. They are cosmopolitan citizens who often have more in common with members of that same class around the world than with other members of their own society. The elites of Washington, New York, Los Angeles, and Boston may be American by birth, but their wall hangings are from Peru, their sculptures from Nunavut, their literary fiction from Sri Lanka, their CDs from Brazil, their basmati from India, their wine from New Zealand. Their religious values, if they have any, may be drawn impressionistically from Eastern and Western traditions—an eclectic pantheon.” [Excerpted from Are We Rome? The Fall of An Empire And The State of America by Cullen Murphy, 2007, p. 147.]
Do these two quotes describe the tension in American politics today?

Will landlords who are not allowed to collect rent keep their property up?

Is our biggest problem financial? Military? Education? You could make an argument that our biggest problem is the disintegration of the family, particularly the abnegation of parental leadership and responsibility. The one social structure commented on in the New Testament over and over again is divorce and this country, a professed Christian nation, has a divorce rate of over 50%. I once asked a basketball coach who coached a private grade school team and an inner-city team what the difference between the two jobs was. He said in the private school he put the kids on the floor and watched them for quickness, vision, enthusiasm, and coachability. With the inner-city team, he started each practice by asking who had eaten that day and first took the rest to lunch.
This is clearly a serious problem. The New Orleans disaster shows there are simply a lot of people out there who need help managing their lives. Should they be having children in this difficult life of theirs as well?
Too tough? Yet we are able to ask very hard questions of the elderly now; those end-of-life equations are serious, regardless of how they are diminished. Why not pair-bonding and reproduction questions? Clearly, a lot of people need help and we have a sacred private sector model: Harmony.com. Imagine how we could increase the information available with the government's huge reach. Why not a National Mating Service?

Biden seems to argue that he was bound in Afganistan by Trump's agreement with the Taliban. How come he didn't feel bound by Trump's decision on Iran, the Keystone Pipeline, and the Paris Accords?

We will probably spend a lot of O2 debating over how the dreaded Afghans could give up the fight in a week. How about some debate over the geniuses who thought this invasion and transfer of power was a good idea in the first place? 

As an aside, do governments ever learn, or do we just do Vietnams every generation or so?

If you were a struggling nation, would you want our help?

The Open Science Collaboration announced that it had tried to replicate one hundred published psychology experiments sampled from three of the most prestigious journals in the field. Of the studies that had originally reported positive results, an astonishing 65 percent failed to show statistical significance on replication, and many of the remainders showed greatly reduced effect sizes.
In 2011 a group of researchers at Bayer decided to review significant drug papers. Looking at sixty-seven recent drug discovery projects based on preclinical cancer biology research, they found that in more than 75 percent of cases the published data did not match up with their in-house attempts to replicate. 

Is this what people mean by "following the science?"

The one simple lesson in the Afghan debacle is this: The Afghan leaders are dining in Europe, or somewhere. They are not suffering with "their" people. The outcome of disasters does not include the makers.

Last on Afghanistan: in the background of American international action has always been that we felt the American values, those that created the individual value-oriented constitution, were worth spreading. Now that the Left has denigrated those values, should America withdraw from trying to influence world progress?

With all its glitz, insincerity, and behind-the-scene corruption, should American elections be held at the Olympics?

Barack Antoinette?

I hear a lot of opinions that FOX is responsible for the nation's division. But when O'Reilly was in his heyday, he drew 3-5 million people, at most. That is very small in a nation of 300 million. Years ago Ms. Smeal of the National Organization of Women could cause a stir representing less than 60,000 members because the media liked them. Nothing on Fox gets that kind of media attention. With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, Joe Rogan reaches nearly four times as many people as prime-time cable hosts such as Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. So, how is this small FOX group pivotal?

We gave the Afghans 20 years of men, money, training, and weapons. With all that, could I have turned Girls Scout Troop 8 into SEAL Team Six?

A recent report from McKinsey & Co., which analyzed data for 1.6 million elementary-school kids in the U.S., found that on average they were five months behind in math and four months behind in reading. The hardest hit were kids from low-income districts, as well as predominantly Black and Hispanic ones. The authors warn that this “unfinished learning” could impede future academic progress and depress wages “far into adulthood.” They also found rising rates of anxiety and depression. Unfinished Learning? And does this mean anything for homeschooling?

From his executive orders on the Keystone Pipeline to halting and/or pausing production on federal lands with fracking in New Mexico and also oil production in Louisiana, Biden has attacked American industry, productivity, wealth, and energy independence. He asked this week for OPEC to increase production. Whose side is he on?

David Mikkelson is the co-founder of Snopes. After inquiries from BuzzFeed News, Snopes conducted an internal review and confirmed that under a pseudonym, the Snopes byline, and his own name, Mikkelson wrote and published 54 articles with plagiarized material. The articles include such topics as same-sex marriage licenses and the death of musician David Bowie.
Snopes VP of Editorial and Managing Editor Doreen Marchionni suspended Mikkelson from editorial duties pending “a comprehensive internal investigation.” He remains an officer and a 50% shareholder of the company. Will this influence the organization's reputation as truth arbitrator?

A few years ago a friend of mine who was running a radiological diagnostic unit applied for his license to use diagnostic isotopes. He got back a license that authorized him to use weapons-grade uranium. Weapons-grade uranium! Do these people deserve to be in charge? Or is everything so complex now that nothing can be done right?

"Animal spirits" are the evil emotions of the marketplace, according to academics. They are influenced by genetics and poor education, drawing the fire that I think, in straw man fashion, should be reserved for two other points. First, if ignorance and irrationality are big contributors to economic misfortune, why not focus on education as the cure? Is the problem too specific than the "government should do it" solution allows? Or has education failed for more basic, ugly reasons than only force can override? Secondly, how come the leaders are immune to the same animal spirits?

Policewoman Ella French was murdered at a traffic stop in Chicago. She is Black. Will there be protest marches and demonstrations?

FOX is doing a rehash of the Kennedy Assassination as if the nation were not distressed enough. It's done by someone named Jarrett, who was helped by none other than Oliver Stone. The guy who did "JFK." Could another choice be worse?

Politicians don't have jobs, they have territories just like the Mafia. (Ca., 1st district. Ma., 3rd). We aren't voters, we are prey. If we don't come across, will they break our windows? Or is that happening?

The core of our problem, this propaganda of hypocrisy, is our tolerance, our willingness to listen to nonsense, and our unwillingness to judge and hold opinions we may be held responsible for. But first, is our terrible tolerance for the truth, a disinterest in the face of serious and obvious problems. We step over the homeless, fight wars over nothing, and listen to nonsense as if it were scripture. This indifference comes from conformity in a world where all the sharp edges have been rubbed off. Does indifference to terrible truth make the indifference to lies almost a relief?

Equality before the law is achievable. Is equity in life?

So, does this graph show good progress in CO2 reduction? Is the U.S., more successful than anybody else in this 'battle?' Does the U.S. get any credit for its efforts? Why does the U.S. get unending criticism despite its obvious success? Does China get any criticism? Or, is criticism of the U.S. the point, and the objective?

Has anyone who believes in the equity of life ever seen a young person with the complications of diabetes?

From the WashPo:

Biden administration reversed course Tuesday and moved to effectively extend a pandemic-era eviction moratorium. Just the day before, a top administration official had said they had looked hard and hadn’t found a legal avenue to do such a thing.
Asked about it passing legal muster, Biden said he didn’t know but conceded that “the bulk of the constitutional scholars say it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster.”
And then he added: “But at a minimum, by the time it gets litigated, it will probably give some additional time while we’re getting that $45 billion out to people who are in fact behind in the rent and don’t have the money.”

So, what other government actions can be taken against the law? Do noble motives allow the government to break its legal restraints? Are there laws that we citizens can break with impunity?

There is a movement to change "Pregnant Mother" to "Birthing Person." What inequality does that change solve?

We now have a gold medal, a silver, and two bronze. Why is that? Inclusion? The guy who came in fifth probably feels bad too. What about gold, two silvers, and one bronze. Or two golds and two silvers. Then maybe bronze for fifth. Or maybe fifth and sixth. Or...

With all the anxieties of past errors, cruelty, and plain bad behavior being raised to disqualify those offending nations from contemporary honors, how about Japan's staggeringly appalling behavior in WW11?  Unit 731? (https://steeleydock.blogspot.com/2016/04/unit-731.html). Or their well-chronicled inhuman savagery whose documentation in The Rape of Nanking drove its author mad?

At the Olympics in Rio, the three main medal winners were the U.S., the Chinese, and Great Britain. The three gold medal winners were the same. So, how is it possible that a small island country could compete with those two giants? And, on the other hand, how could the Brits have lost in rugby to Fiji? Fiji!

"Fast & Furious 9" — the latest in the Hollywood franchise — appeared to be doing well in China at the beginning of June. The film had taken in $155 million at the box office in China since it opened on May 21. 

In his interview with TVBS, a Taiwanese cable channel, actor in the movie John Cena said Taiwan would be the first "country" to be able to see the film. That led to an uproar in China, which considers the self-governing democracy its own territory to be taken back by force if necessary. Did the free-speaking Cena back down because of the economic risk to the movie? Did an independent actor put money before principle? Did the virtuous artist step back?

So there are Olympic events in women's boxing and wrestling. And the shotput. Am I the only guy who thinks there is a lot of gender appropriation going on here?

A lot of people are not taking the vaccine. They have a lot of different reasons. Is it really a political question? The only political criticism about the vaccine came early from the Dems and anti-Trumpers who said they would not trust a Trump vaccine. This is actually well documented prior to the election as they tried to diminish 'Trump's' accomplishments and influence the vote.
But declining such therapy is not new. When the U.S. decided to attack Iraq, there was some anxiety about germ warfare in response, perhaps from the people-loving Russians' Biopreparate program which hoped to build bioweapons using a base of smallpox linked to Ebola. The Feds assigned 500,000 vaccines for physicians on the interface of that possible disaster--ER, ICU, and the like. Only 38,000 vaccines were used--this by medical people. What is the political explanation for that?

BTW, "Only about half of Americans say they would definitely or probably get a vaccine if it were available to them today, according to a poll released by the Pew Research Center this past week." AP Sept. 2020.

Almost half of the whites in New York City are fully vaccinated, compared to a third of blacks and just under 45 percent of Hispanics. So, if N.Y. bars non -vaccinated people from public places, that means that black New Yorkers will be barred from public accommodations at a far higher rate than will white New Yorkers. Does that mean the policy is discriminatory against Blacks or just against unvaccinated people?

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Project Public Data Hub, as of August 5th, 15.85 percent of all hospital beds in Florida for inpatients remain unoccupied, and 11.32 percent of ICU beds remain unoccupied. So is there a difference between a diagnosis and a disease?

On Thursday, Amanda Pritchard, the new NHS chief executive, claimed that a fifth of Covid hospital cases in England were young people.
Ms. Pritchard told the BBC about 1,000 young adults were "really unwell" in hospital, adding that the number being admitted was four times higher than at the peak last winter.

However, because of the vaccination success in the elderly, older patient admissions have dropped dramatically, artificially raising the percentage of the proportion of young people. The number of young people admitted was actually the same as last winter, but Ms. Pritchard did not say that. That is not an easy mistake for a scientific person. Wonder why?

U.S. women's soccer loses to Canada. So, is arrogance its own reward?

Holmes was traded to the Yankees for some guy named Yoy Park. Mr. Park's numbers: He ranked first among all Class AAA East League players in batting (.327), OBP (.475), OPS (1.042) and walks (46). He was tied for third in runs scored (44) and ranked fourth in slugging percentage (.567).
The question: How did they get anyone for Holmes, let alone this guy? Unless he's got TB or something.

99.5% of hospital admissions for covid have been unvaccinated. Would a good campaign be, "Mask up and have an economic depression for those citizens who refuse to be vaccinated"?

Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and world's wealthiest man, said Tuesday after flying to the edge of space that he planned to award $100 million each to CNN contributor Van Jones and chef José Andrés. I do not know who Andres is but Jones is a communist who is bright enough to know just how vicious and evil that thesis is. One thing the communists want to do is kill those invested in the independent, competitive, productive world--including their associates and families. That would include Bezos.
Can anyone explain what Bezos was thinking?
