Somebody just wrote this at me today: [Quote] Think white and get real! We know how and why the buildings collapsed—structural damage and fire. “Death of Physics” is an explanation by slow adults and 9/11 Truther flat-earthers! [/Quote] The Laws of Physics do not care about anybody. Race is irrelevant.

Each and every human being has a "paradigm of reality" in their heads. I have concluded that for each person part of that paradigm is emotional and part of it is rational. So two or more people trying to communicate are testing how well their paradigms of reality synchronize. It is possible to have a total “failure to communicate". The Cool Hand Luke Syndrome. Sometimes people's egos kick in and it is not about communicating but "winning". That is why Fiziks is so Phunny! . 25vus

I wish! 348vus It just lets me know something about the activity on a thread. I have to report to the FBI. . How do you know? I just haven't figured it out yet.😆

I just voted against Trump for the THIRD TIME. Hopefully he will be ShitCanned into prison and never darken my voting booth again. 300vus

Spike Lee is irrelevant: I don't comprehend people who voted for Trump eight years ago. I did not vote for Hillary Caesar because I liked her. 271vus 241vus

And everyone KNOWS that the distribution of steel down a skyscraper is irrelevant to analyzing a straight down collapse. That belongs on an IQ test. 🧐😜😝 111

One of my mother's complaints about my father was how many guns he had. Dealing with a Real Enemy when a supposed ally is a frienemy is a bitch. .

I started reading Science Fiction in 4th grade. My mother sent me to a Catholic grammar school where the nuns NeVeR taught science. So science fiction introduced me to information and ideas never mentioned in school. Plus it kept me from murdering a nun just to have something interesting to do. So I became accustomed to selecting my own literature and making my own judgements. So when I got to high school for my first English literature course and the teacher starts talking about First Person and Third Person, I'm like "the who what?". To me the Literary People were making a Big Deal out of trivia. I Never got an A in English literature, straight B's. Now we live in a world with smartphones everywhere and kids don't read novels in high school. Never found anything they wanted to read. I refused to read Catcher in the Rye. 😝 763

Ever heard of Adam Smith? Ever heard an economist suggest mandatory accounting in the schools? In Wealth of Nations Smith used the word 'education' Eighty Times. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" multiple times. The book has been free on the Internet since 2001, check it yourself. Oh, and Smith wrote about that "Invisible Hand" so much it can be counted on One Finger. The Rich have been giving us The Finger for decades. Lack of accounting keeps it Invisible. .

Voting for a moronic asshole who cannot measure the floor space of an apartment is not acceptable. But pushing the emotional buttons of people making emotional decisions might not be smart. .

You have a problem with voting against someone who would lead us down a rathole? I am not a Democrat or a Republican and never have been. I concluded that technology was more important than politics Long Ago and Planned Obsolescence is where technology affects economics. When was the last time you heard an economist talking about planned obsolescence? I worked for IBM and watched their rip offs. 86 vus .

My objective is to help Trump lose. Voting for West would not accomplish that.

Unfortunately the Laws of Physics are not democratic. Physics affects economics too. Cars wear out and therefore Depreciate. The economics profession not talking about that Depreciation does not keep it from happening. I have not heard any economists pointing out the Repo Crisis either. .

What I call “The Twin Towers Affair” is an ongoing problem. Obviously “The Twin Towers Event” is what happened On 9/11. Could a 200 ton airliner including 34 tons of jet fuel totally destroy a 500,000 ton, 1,430 foot (including 70 ft of basements) building in less than 2 hours by ultimately making it collapse straight down in less than 30 seconds? What do we need to know to even speculate competently? Let's start by accepting that the towers had to hold themselves up, therefore the designers had to figure out how to distribute the steel. Level 105 had to support the weight of 5 more stories. Level 5 had to support the weight of 21 times as many stories. Do you think level 105 contained as much steel as level 5? So is it unreasonable to expect to be told the distribution of steel down the Twin Towers in Twenty Three Years? But then the NCSTAR1 Report by the NIST with 10,000 pages and a price tag of $16,000,000 does not even specify the total weight of concrete or its volume. Sources before 9/11 specify 425,000 cubic yards but that does not tell the weight because there were two densities, 110 and 150 lb/cubic foot. So how is the likelihood of a 30 second collapse to be judged without knowing the tons of steel and tons of concrete that were in each level of the structures? Where did the Conservation of Momentum go on 9/11? Did it take a vacation? So a significant part of the Twin Towers Affair is finding out why the vast majority of academics, structural engineers, civil engineers and physicists have not been demanding data on the simple stuff about such total destruction in Twenty Three Years? Of course anyone is free to point out where this data is readily available and demonstrate my foolishness to the world. If the name Gregory Urich comes up please excuse my laughter however. .

I have read the two books by Harrison in Project Gutenberg. I knew that he did not like Garvey though he worked with him. There are only two or three sentences saying that he was shallow and egoistic.

I always thought Garvey looked ridiculous in that uniform. I asked ChatGPT what Hubert Henry Harrison said about Garvey: Hubert Henry Harrison, a prominent African-American intellectual and activist, was critical of Marcus Garvey. While both men were leaders within the Harlem Renaissance and advocates for Black liberation, they had significant ideological differences. Harrison saw Garvey's approach to leadership as problematic, particularly criticizing Garvey's authoritarian style, lack of transparency, and what he considered Garvey's unrealistic goal of establishing a Black empire in Africa. Harrison also objected to Garvey's collaboration with white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, arguing that working with such organizations was counterproductive to the cause of racial equality. He believed that Garvey's promotion of African nationalism and the "Back to Africa" movement diverted attention from the immediate struggle for rights and improvements in the U.S. Though both shared a vision of Black empowerment, their approaches diverged, with Harrison promoting a more secular, class-conscious vision of Black liberation focused on addressing the needs of the working-class Black population in America, while Garvey emphasized race pride and pan-Africanism. 59 vus .
