Consider The Raven

Jagahati@noauthority.social

I neither sow, nor reap. A Christian questing through the wilderness of modern life. Combat vet, possibly the only “True Scotsman”, an artist of Ill repute and philosopher of last resort.Mostly harmless. I write good code in a few languages, bad code in many more and can make art in multiple mediums that at least I like. Maker of things, Effer of the ineffable, and likely suspect of many thought crimes.

You know making fuel prohibitively expensive is a much gentler way of locking down society so they can reset the world order. Last time all the “Important” people kept getting caught violating the lockdowns. This time… no hypocrisy required. And the serfs still have to stay indoors and be quiet.

Maybe they have decided it’s time to reset the simulation and do another lock-down and virus scare. That’s fun. I won’t be participating this time either, but they can knock themselves out for all I care.

Y’all ready for a “Super El Niño”? I dunno exactly what that means but apparently that’s what we are doing this year.

Lifehack: if you make “plans” close enough to the last minute it’s exactly the same as if you had no plan at all.

With “Greatest Allies” like these, who needs enemies?

The trick of the politician is to tie your identity to them, “I’m a democrat”, “I’m a Trump supporter”, “I’m a trans”, “I’m an American”, “I’m a Brit”, “Hey there bud, what’s this aboot, I’m a Canadian eh!”… This does a couple things, first it grafts the tribal part of your brain to them and their causes. I think this is the part of the brain that creates and maintains stereotypes and heuristics (thought shortcuts). It’s the part that creates an “Us” from disparate people, and a “Them”. 1/2

My faith in the “Expert” class continues to erode, I thought that the COVID era was going to be the very bottom, but I have since learned that people consider me an expert on things at work. We are all in a lot of trouble.
