Drudgery: Watching for Clues | |

"Leonard Shlain proposes that the process of learning alphabetic literacy (left-brain) rewired the human brain, with profound consequences for culture." He demonstrates the upward curve humanity is in by combining the impact of archeology, myth and inventions on the mind. [link to youtu.be] |

But that doesn't mean a new, improved one can't start. ;-) As for clues, at this point I don't think Drudge has any. Those who know all the answers haven't heard all the questions. |

That's a lot to read in one take, LOL! I think the idea for the thread is a good one. I don't mind where threads go as long as they are interesting. But, I know folks don't like it when that happens!

Quoting: Unit3 I think the idea for the thread is a good one. I don't mind where threads go as long as they are interesting. But, I know folks don't like it when that happens! Me too! Philosophy can be a lot of work. Or is it "struggle"? I do believe that TPTB like to telegraph what they're going to do, because they get some perverse pleasure from showing us the dagger before thrusting it. But after watching Drudge and trying to "read the tea leaves" for a while, it seems that no useful info was being conveyed. However, there's no harm in continuing to watch, if for no other reason than being able to recognize when a pattern or habit changes suddenly. Knowing what's abnormal requires knowing what's normal.

The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank." The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass. |

But that whole article about tax rates would be a moot point if they'd dump the unconstitutional income tax completely (and as a bonus, the predatory IRS) and go to the Fair Tax.

Not to mention the abolishment of the private Federal Reserve. Tim Geithner is making a case for raising the debt limit to infinity! This would effectively destroy our sovereignty.

Technically, our sovereignty disappeared with the Act of 1871 which created Wash. D.C. as a corporation. It's all been a charade since then. This is why we pay rent (taxes) on property we "own" year after year, why we have birth certificates, and why the line we sign on our checks is not a line but microprinting, because it is a transfer of the corporation's funds... not ours. But hey, why not debt "to infinity and beyond", when money printing is also "to infinity and beyond"?
