The Thing About Rationality

"Definitions are the guardians of rationality, the first line of defense against the chaos of mental disintegration." 

-- Ayn Rand

Once you define that one plus one might not equal two.....mental disintegration starts up.

If you say X can be Y, but there's no science path to make it so....like saying a woman with a penis can be a woman....mental disintegration starts up.

This is the basic problem that we have today....rationality is under attack, and a large segment of society just refuse to participate or engage in the mental decline.

Ten Observations

 1.  Somewhere in the next year....there's a over-correction to a over-correction to take place, and reality is going to be hard to grasp or understand.

2.  This Nazi-event in Columbus, Ohio over the weekend?  Everyone in red shirts/black pants/black shoes and a facial covering?  Hired-up people....probably paid $200 for a two-hour period.  Strangely enough....no journalists interested in where the clothing came from or who paid the fake-Nazis.  The other odd thing to ask....out of the forty-odd Nazis there....how many were Fed/FBI-undercover?  Two....maybe four?  

3.  The Fed right now?  They have a choice.....either go and save the general public from serious inflation....or go and save the banks to ensure cash-flow.  They can do.....but not both.  Some rumors indicate that two rate hikes will occur over the remainder of 2023....so inflation might be slowed down, but if so, there's to be more bank failures.

4.  This Putin comment: '95-percent of the world's terror attacks are orchestrated by the CIA'?  Probably wrong....I would suggest only 20-percent.

5.  I don't think a quarter of society can define the term 'unfair advantage'.

6.  This guy in Texas who killed a group of five....was a Mexican citizen who'd already been deported five times.  The weapon he had....illegally acquired.  Cops have yet to find him.

7.  I have cringe-or-anxiety problems every time that I see VP Harris approach a podium.  She's the only person I know....that will lump 44-word sentences....one after another.  

8.  Is there anything we can do to rid the world of this XX and XY Chromosome problem....so trans works?  Yes....end classes in science at the 4th grade and never bring up XX/XY chatter.  It would take a generation or two, but we'd eventually forget that XX and XY was ever discovered.

9.  I think it's possible now to be a millionaire, and dead-beat....at the same time.

10.  I noticed Joe Rogan's big quote from the weekend: 'No solution for the Democrats in 2024....other than Biden dying.'  It's remarkable that Joe can utter this, and probably 90-percent of society agreeing with him.
