Projection Issue

According to some research, the projection of one's negative qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life. However, the belief that psychological projection includes the denial of any of the perceived negative qualities in oneself is challenged by research, and the concept may need to be revised. -Psychological Projection, from the Wiki

Solar vs Fracking

Found my (worst)self at a community meeting yesterday where a solar project was being presented to members. Living in Germany gave me a bit of an advantage, since that country is somewhat ahead in utilizing the sun for power--even though the friggin sun rarely shines there. What astonished me about this meeting was how the audience, mostly retired … Continue reading Solar vs Fracking →

Down With The Old

No. Seriously. Who is criticizing Amazon? Could the critics be those who are in favor of the old economy artificially and coercively maintaining the status-quo in the publishing world? Ok. Let's face the music here. I for one am tickled to now be a regular buyer of e-books. It's been three years since I've bought … Continue reading Down With The Old →

Fail Not Alone

America was a country founded by failures who could not get along in the Old World and who came to a wilderness because there was simply no place else to go. A fascinating article that I wish I read when it was first published in 1976. Wow. What was I wasting my youth on in 1976? … Continue reading Fail Not Alone →

Struck Who Most

On way back from PHL airport yesterday I was struck by two things. 1) There was no traffic on July 4 in and around the southern part of Philadelphia--even though I was expecting hell-traffic on account of the holiday and DE closing a major bridge/highway in the area. But hold a sec. There was some … Continue reading Struck Who Most →

Über Confusing

The Krugman usually never confuses me. The Krugman is the man! That's what I dig about him. I also dig that I can understand most of the stuff he blogs about. You know, economic stuff. Or--maybe not. In fact, it would probably be über-cool to have him as a professor--I bet he's a good teacher. … Continue reading Über Confusing →

Krapp 2014

The aftermath of recent Supreme rulings starting to trickle in. It cannot be said enough. While American'ts vote their feelings, mostly derived from wingnut pundits and the inalienable right to remain stupid regarding the lies of krapp like reducing taxes or reducing government, etc., the true face of what conservatives have done has never reared … Continue reading Krapp 2014 →

Work Worth It?

Going on fifteen years without a full-time job. Two reasons for that. 1) Baby Boomer generation proves that it's finally worth it to quit your job to pursue a dream (it's even worth it to fail at that pursuit). 2) Working, or as it should be known, compulsive behaviorism, is financially NOT worth it. Twenty years … Continue reading Work Worth It? →

A Life Time It'll Take

Where is the most damage from thirty-plus-years of American't political conservatism? Is it the economy? Is it the federal budget? Is it the middle class? Surprise! Yes to all the above. But here's the thing. All the above could, if the political will (and knowledge) were there, be fixed. Seriously. With the wave of a … Continue reading A Life Time It'll Take →

Ethics vs Smarts

The Facebook game has no end. Or does it? Who remembers AOL? Who remembers its demise? If you learn from the demise then you can re-start anew (no matter how many redundancies you make). My worst-guess is the Zuck figured out AOL's demise better than anybody else. Hence Facebook. But to read that Zuck is … Continue reading Ethics vs Smarts →

My Dotcom Book

As bad as things were at the end of the 20th century, the beginning of the 21st century is obviously worse. But there was some good in the 1990s that's easy to forget. Anyone remember the Dotcom boom? I'm still waiting for the definitive book to be written about why the new-economy was so easily gobbled up by … Continue reading My Dotcom Book →

Afeared Yet

If you thought the war mongering and greed freakshow that is the beginning of the 21st century was scary wait till the reality sets in of who/what your parents really are. Indeed. There is nothing more scary than the infamous Boomer generation. No other generation in human history has taken so much and given so … Continue reading Afeared Yet →

Who Taught The H-Word

There you have it. Less than sixty-thousand voters in the rural-bourgeois south are waking up to the inalienable right(s) of life, liberty and stupidity. They vote-out an incumbent that only a few years ago they loved--when their bank accounts reflected better the lust for debt and false ideology--and vote-in a guy that's probably two-steps worse. Oh well. The only surprise … Continue reading Who Taught The H-Word →

Boom Your Controversy

Hard earned PBS underwritten funding paying off. And a bit shocked about how much time the producers of the videos that are connected to the link below spend on Google and FB. Almost get the feeling that the ill-doings of fear-mongering, The Patriot Act and the resulting behaviour of various smiley-face government agencies isn't what the "discussion" … Continue reading Boom Your Controversy →

Creeps R Us

Just read this article dear worst-reader. And guess what? I'm more confused than ever. But I suppose being a fifty year old male in a perpetual state of forced early retirement made up of über-happiness where I live off the achievements of females who are much better at coping with this alpha world than I am--being confused is kinda OK. … Continue reading Creeps R Us →

How To Be King

How do you become king? Who picks you? What grants you the right? Nomatter. Half of Eurowastelands problems could be addressed (not solved, of course) by getting rid of the useless that claim thrones. But then again. It's 2014. That monarchs still exist says it all. Spain's King Juan Carlos To Abdicate After 40 Years On … Continue reading How To Be King →
