What happened to all the world's money? Where did it all go?

 — South Park

Money is like blood—it's only useful when it's flowing. If it stops circulating, the patient dies.

“You don't speed up a car by applying the brakes.”
      “Well, Brooksley, I guess you and I will never agree about fraud,” Born, in a recent interview, remembers Greenspan saying.

      “What is there not to agree on?” Born says she replied.

      “Well, you probably will always believe there should be laws against fraud, and I don't think there is any need for a law against fraud,” she recalls. Greenspan, Born says, believed the market would take care of itself.

      For the incoming regulator, the meeting was a wake-up call. “That underscored to me how absolutist Alan was in his opposition to any regulation,” she said in the interview.

Jesusland!
 		Philosophy & Politics
I used to think Philosophy was just people endlessly wondering if reality really existed, or if things continue to exist when you're not looking at them. But now I realize Philosophy is extremely important because Philosophy determines what sort of government people will adopt. Philosophy determines Government.

In order to understand Politics and the deep division between Progressives and Conservatives we need to first study not what people think, but how people think. Once we understand how people go about understanding and reasoning about things, then we'll be able to understand the thought process of people who think differently from us.

THE SCIENCE OF COMPREHENSION: How We Understand Abstract Concepts


Our biggest mistake is believing in the "Political Spectrum" metaphor:
 PROGRESSIVE  <------------------->
(middle)
  CONSERVATIVE 
WRONG
The "Political Spectrum" metaphor is wrong. There is no continuum between progressive and conservative thought. A more accurate visualization would be:
 PROGRESSIVE  <....v...
(middle)
....v...>
(middle)
  CONSERVATIVE 
CORRECT
(This is all explained in The Science of Comprehension: How We Understand Abstract Concepts)

Religious Studies

  1. There is an immense lack of historical evidence that Jesus ever existed.1
  2. Crucified Saviors existed in many religions prior to the alleged time of Jesus.2
  3. The Story of Jesus is an Astronomical Allegory for the Sun passing through the Zodiac each year.3 The sun is the original god that dies on the winter solstice and is reborn/resurrected 3 days later, on Christmas day!

Humor after 9-11. Humor gives us insight into our culture and human nature.


A Harris Poll, taken three weeks before the 2004 election, found that 41% of all voters—and 52% of those backing Mr. Bush— believed Saddam Hussein had "helped plan and support the hijackers" who had attacked the United States in 2001. In addition, 62% of all voters—and 84% of those who voted for Mr. Bush—believed that Hussein, the former Iraqi leader, had "strong links" to al-Qaeda. All these views were wrong.—Santa Barbara Newspress, Nov. 16, 2005.

THE BUSH PRESIDENCY My list of gripes and links to other web sites.
• RELEASED: The Bush Administration's Secret Legal Memos On April 16, 2009, the Department of Justice released four secret memos used by the Bush administration to justify torture.
• OMINOUS PREDICTION: “The Republicans will resume control in 2012. Republican control of the U.S. government will become permanent this time, and their secretly held contempt for democracy will become nakedly apparent, as the United States becomes a one-party state in all but name. U.S. moral authority and influence will be at an end. The American experiement in democracy will be over.”

Bush is not incompetent—Conservative Ideology is Incompetent!
