RE:OT - this article is absolutely brilliant & real reason for Here are just a few odd thoughts that crossed while reading this post. -
The Jeewish [Did you get that from Eric Cartman?] religion was quite popular in Roman times.
[ Oh, I get rejected by Stockhouse unless I misspell th that word and make it absolutely grotesque.]
They were hungry for upscale, the less insane, world view that Unitarianism provided.
Jeedaism was the only system in the market providing this service.
Perhaps it is like Tesla, Inc. being the only provider of electric vehicles [EV].
If you want an EV, you buy a Tesla.
If you want Unitarianism, the belief in one god, you became Jeewish.
Like today, the Proletariat tended to be Democrats and had little interest in a rational Philosophy.
The Republicans, socialist anti-socialist [LOL], tend to be a little up scale, with less obesity and fewer tattoos.
Anyway, shockingly, the Roman world may have been 10% to 20% Unitarian [Jeewish].
Oddly, once again, Pareto’s 80/20 rule beams across the ages of time.

That is, 80% are Proletarian in nature and only about 20% are worth communicating with.
“Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It doesn't work, and it annoys the pig.” ~ Heinlein or Sheldon
It means that many people are so ignorant and vested in their ignorance that they can't be taught.
This majority at the tipping point and will grow much larger every year.

On the other hand, I say ‘Hello’ to almost everyone I pass, I don’t hate them.
This seemed to shock people whenever I wonder around the sidewalks of New York City [LOL].

This majority is passing the tipping point and will grow much larger every year.
Also, the average IQ is descending every year.

“Do not argue with idiots.” ~ I don’t know who first said this, but the following said about the same thing.

“Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” ~ Greg King

“Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.” ~ Mark Twain

Obviously us Survivors must realize that so-called Democracy is a farce. “Vote” is a farce.
This will become more obvious and clear with each passing year.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. ~ Winston Churchill

The sooner we Survivors absorb this through our thick pig headed skulls, the better and more enlightened, we will be.

Looking for a place to somehow pause for now. -
Are we the Witnesses of Revelation?
Forgive me for eluding to that topsy turvy science fiction story.
But unfortunately, I have to claim to some credentials for discussing the topic.
Our publishing company, let’s call it XYZ Press, has sponsored two books on the subject.

As proofreader, and because of long conversations with the extremely intelligent author and RJ is actually mentioned as part of the story, by name, I guess I am involved willy-nilly.

Officially my position is that it is all balderdash, but I have big doubts.

So our quest, our way to be heros, is to simply survive the Tsunami.
-
ROTFLMAO.
Ironically, I really think that we can learn a lot of survival skills from the Jeews.

“Oh Hell!” ~ Annie Hardy
Since Arrow de Wilde came up, I may recall that surprisingly she seemed very tall when I talked with her. I have found out that she is six foot three inches.
Of course, she is not a genetically normal human being but a Marfan, who rarely live to adulthood. A Marfan’s proportions resemble space aliens, willowly thin with extendedly long arms, limbs, and fingers. I suspect that they are throwbacks to our space alien forbears.

On closing, may I mention the latest venture of our publishing company?
We just had the forms notarize, and formed a new corporation.
That is, our new band is now a corporation.
I am not making this up. Its name is, “
We Belong in Straightjackets.”
