RIJ: Reincarnate In Joy

Me too! I just did a search. Apparently Michael Cohen started the term before Oct of 2023. I just read it yesterday.

People on BlueSky started saying "Marjorie Toilet Greene" so being totally without good taste and high ethical standards I cheerfully stooped to the obvious. .

I asked ChatGPT to make a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene's head coming out of a toilet. It told me that it could not make derogatory pictures of celebrities. I asked it to make a picture of the head of a blonde woman coming out of a toilet and got this: How "Intelligent" are these AIs? 🤣 Looks like Marjorie Toilet Greene to me. .

What is upward mobility? Having more money to buy consumer trash that impresses people that you compete with? Damn I forgot, I need a Rolex watch. How much of the economy is status games? As far as I am concerned as long as people are not talking about planned obsolescence they are not talking about how the economy works. We are supposed to pay to live on Stolen Land Forever!?

Even the people who use Doppler RADAR get wet to some degree. It is nearly impossible to go outside and get in your car and stay perfectly dry even in a medium rain. The trouble with the way these palefaces teach mathematics is that they go off into abstract Never Neverland totally out of touch with reality. Economics without Depreciation! 🤦 .

The average person doesn't use Doppler RADAR to track rain clouds. They just get wet!

Lots of stuff in the rabbit holes.

Someone asked this question on Quora.com: Is the USA experiencing end stage Capitalism? What comes next? ========================= Is Consumerism really Capitalism? When have you heard an economist discuss Planned Obsolescence? We hear GDP, GDP, GDP all of the damn time. What is the NDP? NET Domestic Product If there is a Gross there should be a NET! There were 200,000,000 motor vehicles in the United States in 1995. Where are they? Machines wear out! Machines DEPRECIATE!!! Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 100+ times in Das Kapital. But there were no automobiles when Marx wrote Das Kapital. Where has the economics profession been hiding all of the Depreciation Data on things that did not exist when Marx was alive? Automobiles, Jet Planes, Microwave Ovens, Washing Machines, Computers, Snow Mobiles, Snow Blowers, Hi-Fi stereos, Nuclear Submarines. All that crap was added to GDP! All that crap should be subtracted to compute NDP! But economists do not talk about the Net Domestic Product equation. Economists cannot do Algebra. Talking about the End Stage of Capitalism makes no sense when you have not acknowledged the last phase change. John Maynard Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile. Less than 1% of American households had televisions in 1948. It was 90% by 1962. See the USA in your Chevrolet Economists are telling you to play With junk designed to Depreciate. ========================== Of course I had to answer. 🤣 I keep seeing this "Late Stage Capitalism" rubbish everywhere but uselessly vague generalizations about what that is supposed to mean. .

An expert fascist would certainly recognize it. General Milley could recognize a fascist when he observed one. This man cannot see stupid when he looks in a mirror. 🤦🤯😡 Calling Newsome by Newscum is more like 3rd grade. This would be funny if these assholes were not screwing up the country and the planet. Hollywood would not make something this stupid and expect people to pay to watch it.

THEY? Who designed and built the Blue Box? I just saw a picture of one in a glass case in some museum a couple of days ago. 🤣

"Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955 and adopted shortly afterwards. He attended Reed College in 1972 before withdrawing that same year. In 1974, he traveled through India, seeking enlightenment before later studying Zen Buddhism. He and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to further develop and sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer."

Over the last 20 years we have heard a lot more mention of Jobs than Wozniak. But: "Steve Wozniak's father was Francis Jacob "Jerry" Wozniak. He was an engineer for Lockheed Corporation and played a significant role in inspiring Steve's interest in electronics and engineering. Jerry Wozniak often shared his technical knowledge with his son, encouraging him to explore how things worked, which heavily influenced Steve Wozniak's later innovations, including co-founding Apple Inc. with Steve Jobs.“

The Screwing of the Average Man (1974) by David Hapgood I read that in 1976. As soon as I finished it, I read it again. I took Econ 101 in college. I got a 'B' but I felt more confused after the course than before. But I concluded that their HAD to be something Wrong with what I was taught. I still had the textbook so I decided that I was going to figure out what it was if I had to read Samuelson's Economics cover to cover. So I would read 15 or 20 pages every night after coming home from work. Eventually I got to NNP. Simple equation, no biggie! I read about 5 more pages before it occurred to me that consumer Depreciation was missing. The Net National Product only got half of a page in a 600 page book. What do you suppose that the total depreciation of US Automobiles must amount to since I noticed? When have YOU heard Economists talking about Consumer Depreciation? Something is peculiar! .

And the book I suggested about electronics does WHAT?

So do gym shoes with famous basketball players names on them.

Have you heard about that drone attack that the Ukrainians pulled on Russia? Who needs riots? 🤣😂🤣 Neither side seems to advocate mandatory accounting in the schools. Not even for White kids. The DIMocrats and the Repugnacans are both pretty worthless.

Time only moves in one direction, but how much did people understand at the time. 1965 was the last year I went to an auto show. I remember not wanting to go. I finally understood that they were just making useless variations in cars. But how many people don't want to deal with the consequences of that half-a-century after the Moon landing? I was trying to learn about electricity. Didn't know enough to figure out what was a good book. A bit more to be learned about technology now. Why don't we have a K-12 Booklist for Black kids. To hell with what the haoles do? Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics by Stan Gibilisco .

DJT is too stupid to predict the consequences of his mindless actions. If what Ukraine is saying is true, Zelensky knew about the plan to attack Russian bombers when he met with Trump while the idiot told him he had no cards. Trump hardly has any idea what is going on and no one outside of the country with any sense will tell him. He has surrounded himself with nitwits almost as dumb as he is. .

Just posted this on BlueSky a few days ago: Human evolution in Morocco? Biology Africa dating Oldest paleontology

What did I ever say about a conspiracy or conspiracy theory regarding any people doing anything to destroy the buildings? .

You will have a pretty hard time finding any cases of steel frame buildings that stood for more than a year that collapsed due to fire. And you can find some pretty big fires. The only Three seemed to happen that day. Have you tried finding the distribution of steel for any of those buildings? I have not found it for any skyscraper. That is why I mention the Eiffel 🗼 Tower. The obvious is obvious.

I am biased, Obviously! 🤣 But I do not regard it as circling back. To me it is an unresolved physics problem. High school kids should have expected a reasonable answer by 2003. An Answer not a Belief! A 1959 IBM C.A.D.E.T. computer was used to do the calculations for the structural steel. Can you imagine how powerful an iPhone is compared to a 1959 minicomputer? (Of course I am being blasphemous since IBM did not allow the word minicomputer when I was there. 🤣) David Chandler is the only high school physics teacher I know of to get involved. He used video to prove that the first 2.5 seconds of the WTC7 collapse was freefall. He forced the NIST to concede. But this is a Social-Psychological issue on a massive scale. The nation that put men on the Moon and has hundreds of skyscrapers across the country cannot talk about the distribution of steel down a couple of skyscrapers. There is an inherent problem here. .

They might have to investigate why they did not ask such a simple question 20 years ago.
