Barstool Philosophy - Truer Than Derrida, Foucault, or Gramsci - More Applicable Than Hegel or Kant

Tomatoes are fruit, rarely belong in a fruit salad, but is a Bloody Mary a smoothie? By far, this is better and more applicable philosophy than most of what came out of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Still though, like most philosophical quandaries that ignore the Divine, barstool philosophy is fundamentally wrong or flawed through omission and denial of fundamental Truths. While a Bloody Mary may well be a smoothie, it is also, in many cases, a meal. 😉

Some Homegrown Bee Porn

Some Homegrown Bee Porn

Well, if even major online pornography outlets are going to hop on the Save The Bees bandwagon, I might as well add some homegrown bee porn to the mix. So, here’s some Emerald Orchid Bees (Euglossa dilemma) pollinating. 😛

Sorry though, no hypersexualized voice-over.

And, to carry through with things – if you wish, here’s a list of bee-focused charities that you can donate to.

Rethinking AI Art

Rethinking AI Art Since AI Likes A Super Soft, Curvy, Fertile Scarlett Johansson
I’m Rethinking AI Art’s Worthiness

Yeah, there’s a lot of issues with what we call AI – some of them even real as opposed to just race-baiting rantings – and those extend deeply into the field of art. And again yeah, I’m one of those who’ve been generally against any thought of AI art’s worthiness, value, or even acceptability.

But, now I’m rethinking AI art’s worthiness and that may be in part because of AI’s “bias.” I mean, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Scarlett Johansson’s actual figure; she’s a beautiful and stunning woman. But, an AI’s depiction of her as a fertile, soft-bodied beauty does make me rethink the value of AI-generated art. 😉

Think upon it. Whatever bias AI has is largely due to organic heuristics. In other words, AIs largely build their baselines through harvesting data from the internet. Hence, this depiction of Scarlett Johansson indicates that the zeitgeist is not inherently focused on what the weight-loss and fashion cartels want us to be attracted to insofar as women’s forms are concerned.

IT folks, especially the squints in DevOps, have a somewhat different and more (Boolean) logical approach to fire equipment. 😉

Liberals' Library Programs

Liberals’ Library Programs

With more and more states and localities coming to their senses and properly banning drag queens – in their performance outfits – being inflicted upon our children, liberal libraries and schools will most likely cast their deceptions aside and double down on their attempts to corrupt and defile America’s young.
