Well, I imagine that the biological basis of identity and selfhood is as complicated and rich, but we are not all scientists, and there is an allure to believing your gender identity to be an immutable quality you’re born with. Why? Because the demand that you constantly justify yourself becomes exhausing, in the face of hostility that you might consider while you are opining about what is 'sick'. <br />Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915977609430813824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587336.post-6137205387968014312020-10-20T02:48:34.637-07:002020-10-20T02:48:34.637-07:00'Such a pledge would cost a candidate and pres...'Such a pledge would cost a candidate and president <br />little to make or to fulfill.'<br /><br />..little to fulfill? Perhaps 'it’s so reasonable<br />that only a churl could possibly refuse', but this being about 'control over my appointment calendar', I wonder where it starts costing more than 'little' to fulfill, such that only a churl could possibly refuse? You're talking about one afternoon per month. I guess that two afternoons per week would be a step too far. But it's a rhetorical question, I'm wondering how much nonsense is too much, for you?<br /><br />'Millions of Americans will then know that I do not live in a tower of ideological isolation.'<br /><br />So okay, you think you have the solution to this problem, and also, you think this is the problem to be solving. <br /><br />Problem: The president, should be open-minded and receptive to conversations with jokers who are not necessarily on his/her team. Call this 'accessibility', or 'open flow of communication', and heck, maybe even 'closer working relationships'. <br /> <br />Solution: accelerate the meeting madness.<br /><br />Is this not the stuff of Dilbert cartoons?<br /><br />What, you can't put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity? Clearly, the problem is that you are a churl. This is like the opposite of wanting to be a good soldier, I guess. <br /><br />Sacrifice your own time and well-being for meetings, and rest assured that in my eyes, this has cost you little. <br /><br />The collective toll on productivity, focus, and engagement, can be safely ignored. After all, it's not like time is zero-sum, is it? If that were the case, then every minute spent in a wasteful meeting would eat into time for actual work. Bad meetings, they are intended to improve communication and collaboration, as intended, and ergo, that is what they do. Did that staff meeting advance teamwork or set it back? Well, the president stabbed her leg with a pencil, to stop from screaming. Therefore, obviously, this country can benefit when it focuses its energy on tolerating meetings.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915977609430813824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587336.post-25402964053638061572020-10-17T17:31:14.867-07:002020-10-17T17:31:14.867-07:00onward

Achieving self sufficiency and self repair capacity should be early goals. Early ocean-going exploration ships carried a ship's carpenter. I worry about NASA's fixation with specialists. Every task is carefully planned and timed to the second. However, IMHO Apollo 13 was their greatest success. The Challenger controller who continued to read out downrange numbers while horrified spectators stared skyward and the stupendous undetected flaw in the Hubble mirror are examples of over-engineering. I would suggest that space exploration crews carry at least one jack-of-all-trades techno-geek. Val Kilmer's character in "Red Planet" comes to mind.

Was talking to my mother and she was upset because an old neighbor/friend about 77 years old, had emailed her saying they could still be friends despite their political differences...along with a link to a Claremont Institute video. (I was somewhat familiar with the latter, but was curious so skimmed through some of the content for 10 minutes.) <br /><br />So she (the friend) I think is won over by statements like "in a Democracy you have the right to not have things change." In one of the videos the speaker laid it out I'm paraphrasing: "we can't fight this (multiculturalism/change) with facts and reasoning..." <br /><br />And then the imagery. On another video. Cartoon with paper style cutouts of a white nuclear family walking through a city-scape with bright green/pink/blue mutated multicultural-individualists cutouts waving flags in the street which started virally spawning anarchists. <br /><br />Fear. The right not to have things change. <br /><br />What's frustrating to me is there is no opportunity for rebuttal. The only way I could reach someone like this lady, is if I could pause and edit some of the videos she's watching, and have someone like Dr. Brin (who can actually wield judo skills in real time) stop the video after every statement and fact check and offer counter points. That's the only frame I could see to even start a conversation. She's not going to listen. She won't take wagers. She's not going to watch anything you give her (from the "other side.") It make me very sad. Not sure if this analogy entirely works...but it's like watching someone on heroin. And the only way you're going to get them off is with some methadone.Slim Moldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804029818709230857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587336.post-80122008829432368502020-10-17T09:57:07.150-07:002020-10-17T09:57:07.150-07:00@Alfred Differ:

Refreshing."<br /><br />Austrians, especially those from Vienna, have a well-deserved reputation for being able to insult and threaten people in a way that they smile and say thank you afterwards. Christoph Waltz has this special ability and uses it to great effect. In this, Schwarzenegger is clearly an exception :-)<br /><br />"He's also a decent example of why we need immigrants. Some Americans are simply born on the wrong side the border. I suspect there are a billion more out there who would do well here if we had the courage to accept them and their other differences. Rather than make them all come here, though, I'd be willing to annex them. Culturally at least. 8)"<br /><br />The sarcastic answer would be: "You have them already. Cages full of them."<br /><br />But then again, that would be hypocritical, because we (the Europeans) don't really treat them better. Instead of cages, we use desolate and overcrowded tent camps on islands and the Mediterranean Sea itself to solve our problem. Oh, yes, and the Dublin Accords themselves.<br /><br />Even Germany is some kind of schizoid in this matter: On the one hand we desperately need skilled workers for the industrial and medical sector, and we aggressively recruit personnel from other countries, within and outside of the EU. On the other hand we have 2 Million people we deny the right to work and train for the jobs needed, and immigrants face high bureaucratic hurdles to get the jobs they are already qualified for.<br /><br />And then there is the brain-drain problem. We (Northern and Western Europe) have already drained the Eastern and Southern European supply of medical personnel dry ... and now we aggressively recruit from non-EU countries. Including those we deport people to. (And don't get me started on Afghanistan.) They are starting to be large holes in countries like Poland and Hungary, and the rise of the far right in these countries exacerbates the problem. Same with Africa: It is the middle class, not the poor who can afford to pay the traffickers. Those people who started to build up a better society suddenly have the means to migrate to those countries responsible for their misery in the first place.<br /><br />I think this "attraction" thing has a dark side: it hides and masks the conditions that led to the loss of skilled/educated personnel, and the need for innovation. In fact, you don't invest in their education, the country of origin does, sort of a lazy way and perhaps a modern form of colonialism.<br /><br />It is better to take the children from the cages and the tents, give them a perspective, reform our school systems, and then, perhaps in a generation or two, we may reap a richer reward.<br />Der Ogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977602334642769985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587336.post-19193977793449821592020-10-17T08:16:02.488-07:002020-10-17T08:16:02.488-07:00This does all have a Rathergate redux vibe to it. ...This does all have a Rathergate redux vibe to it.

What there is to adjudicate is beyond me, as the Constitution clearly mentions "Whole number of persons in each state", which included women and children even when they couldn't vote ("Indians not taxed" being the explicit exception which proves the rule).<br /><br />All I can say is that if the supreme court manages to rule with a straight face that "whole number of persons" means something other than whole number of persons, then they forfeit not only their legitimacy, but any credible claim to being "textualists", "originalists", or "constitutionalists".<br /><br />https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/16/supreme-court-undocumented-immigrants-census-429969<br /><i><br />...<br />After the memorandum was published, municipalities and activists immediately sued the administration, arguing that excluding undocumented immigrants from the counts used to assign House seats is an unconstitutional power grab. A lower court blocked Trump's memorandum last month, and the administration took its case directly to the Supreme Court.<br /><br />The 14th Amendment requires districts to apportion congressional seats based on "counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."<br /><br />In Trump's memorandum, he argued that the "discretion delegated to the executive branch to determine who qualifies as an 'inhabitant' includes authority to exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status."<br />...<br /></i><br /><br />#WhenInTheCourseOfHumanEventsLarry Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058877428309776731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587336.post-59461399439855027992020-10-16T18:13:38.230-07:002020-10-16T18:13:38.230-07:00Dr Brin:

But sure, I'll answer this one., You stunning hypocrite! Accusing me of hypocrisy for shrugging at the yawnworthy Hunter Biden "revelations that no one, not you or anyone else, actually cites a criminal code that applies to any inctable degree. Take it to a damned grand jury, will you? You nut-jobs have had every level of government, an utterly politicized top Justice Department, and all three branches of government. The Senate can still subpoena, so DO IT!<br /><br />Cite a law that was broken first, will you please? Never mind comparisons of scale, with every Trump child on any random business day committing more crimes than Hunter B has across his life. (Bet me on that?)<br /><br />"The Russian collusion had three years of investigation and came back with no chargable crimes."<br /><br />An absolute knowing lie! Manafort is in prison now for acting as spy/agent/bagman for the Russian puppet who owned and terrorized Ukrains on Putin's behalf. Several more. But Mueller said he could not PROVE direct conspiracy according to the prim definitions and burden of proof on prosecution. He also said that the coincidences of quid pro quo stink to high heabve... AND YOU KNOW HE SAID THAT. <br /><br />Many, many communications with foreign despots - SIX long ones with Putin -- in which Trump banned all reliable US witnesses. If a dem had done that, your guts would have exploded, you incredible hypocrite.<br /><br />Dig this well. Half a billion dollars of mostly our money was spent — across 25 years — investigating the Clintons and Obamas, the most thoroughly probed humans in the history of our species. Every document scrutinized, nothing withheld, every file dissected, every micro assistant grilled. Half of all subpoenas issued by the last five lazy-ass GOP Congresses were part of that futile, desperate search. Half! In one repetitious, pompously posing hearing after another. But Clinton/Obama never demanded the investigations stop, the way today's scaredy-cat toddler does, daily.<br /> <br />The Kochs and Mercers etc. offered "whistleblower rewards" in the TENS of millions for any Clinton-connected person to reveal a smoking gun and rat out alleged "secret Clinton deals and travesties." Not $130,000 but tens of millions! And oh, they did get lots of nibbles from folks in the Clinton orbit, eagerly offering "dirt," but there was never a single thing of use. Fox offered lucrative commentator posts and other incentives... and only got hot air. Never the sort of indictable evidence that the Mueller probe is getting DAILY on trumpists and other goppers, ranging from child molesters to money launderers to Kremlin stooges.<br /> <br />But there's more. George Bush diverted federal investigators from anti-terror duties, before 9/11 to sift every federal filing cabinet for some smoking gun. Before... 9/11. Think about that. It should have been a huge scandal. But that extensive sifting across every filing cabinet and email found... nothing useful at all.<br /> <br />After all that, what did we wind up with? A husband fibbed about some third base adult-consensual infidelity... and the wife was caught using exactly the same sort of somewhat improper email system as Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Mike Pence, George Bush and Jared Kushner. That's... it.<br /> <br />Compare that to more than a hundred charges against almost ONE HUNDRED Trumpian or GOP individuals with confessions and convictions piling up. Daily we see behaviors that demand we ask: "WODI?" Secret meetings with hostile dictators, ongoing acts-of-war against our elections and infrastructure. We're finding the top GOP tiers are filled with boy-buggerers, pedophiles, playmate-bribers, casino-mafiosi, kremlin-stooges and monopolists.<br /><br />Oh, the pedophiles?

However, I would note that David Brin and presumably people who like his work claim to be champions of transparency. Claim that you will suooort whistle blowing from the other side. So your interpretation of fairness and transparency is to not mention or complain about twitter and Facebook censorship. The Russian collusion had three years of investigation and came back with no chargable crimes. Your side complained about less than $2 million of Russian social media efforts. But ignore suppression by Twitter and Facebook of the New York post. If your evidence is so good then you should have no fear in showing it side by side. I don’t fear your data or arguments. I am willing to listen to them. I want to see the investigation. But clearly there will tons of emails. Video and pictures coming from what is clearly hunters laptop. Your side will have to explain the wire transfers and plenty of other evidence beyond the one email. It will be many emails. But the main things are you saw major censorship from big tech and have said nothing. IF your guy gets in you can expect 3 years of a special investigation. You are delusional if you think “this phase of the civil war ends with any result in this election”. Your side won’t surrender. The other side won’t surrender. Trump will have rallies, a trump cable channel and his own version of Twitter. Russia and China and every other country will keep playing and supporting both sides. Both sides will have their own facts. You can ignore this too. But when the civil war continues and gets louder and more violent for years you can remember that it should not be a surprise. Also. Don’t be surprised if the electoral college goes against you again.

The new law allowed anyone, even a paid political campaign worker, to collect and return ballots — “harvesting” them, in political slang.<br /><br />...<br />In Orange County alone, where every House seat went Democratic, 'the number of Election Day vote-by-mail dropoffs was unprecedented — over 250,000'<br />...<br /><br />"In one Orange County household, for example, both the husband and wife were longtime Republicans, said Dale Neugebauer, a veteran Republican consultant.

Four years ago, he (or maybe it) or someone indistinguishable from him (or maybe it) was torqued off because no one on this blog was discussing the pedophile ring being run by Democrats out of the secret basement tunnels in Comet Pizza. Just as Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass was assuring us at the time that we must not ignore the tenth Benghazi hearings out of fatigue, because <b>this time</b> would reveal something <b>important</b>.
