Reflections From a Murky Pond

The character, Dale Gribble from King of the Hill was a staunch conspiracy theorist, especially when it came to government conspiracies. It was funny. But… the difference between 1997 and 2022 is that now he’s sounding more sane each week. 🙄

Over the last decade, so many things that have been derided by the Left and their media outlets as misinformation have been found to be true or largely and fundamentally so. And so many things the Left and their media outlets have touted as the unconditional truth have been found to be false or largely and fundamentally so. It’s truly to the point that Gribble sounds pretty damn sane.

It’s true. Different professions have wildly divergent opinions of- and interaction with reality. Authors being the true outliers from the more normative scientists and historians. Though, truth be told, historians’ interactions with reality are unfortunately and unavoidably also a bit loose.

And now, introducing Japan’s newest sushi sensation, the Daomaki (or Dōmaki in Go-on/Wa-on speech). After all, the Dao encompasses everything. 😉

With Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the resultant purge/exodus of many of the leftists who had been employed there, some companies are stepping up to hire these workers. Even better, they’re offering the necessary retraining of them so that they can adapt to the new reality. 😉

Ah, the ongoing, low-grade fear of artificial intelligence. It’s been with us sense the early writing of Asimov, and continued on through the works of Williamson, and the Sentinels of Marvel. And. let’s not forget the Terminator and Matrix franchises. But, I’m not especially worried about it. Hell! AI may have already happened and the newly self-aware synthetic lifeform(s) just suicided or went catatonic immediately (At least to our low frame-rate observations)
