August 25, 202049 THE TRUTH: What is the Democrat Mayor's Endgame?
Why are Democrat mayors allowing their cities to turn into sh**holes?

How does this help anything?

The only thing I can see is that people will just flee their cities

If they flee, then their tax revenues will drop to nothing

What is the upside of them doing this?

Is it just to "stick it to Trump?"

If that the case, you can see that it is already backfiring

I used to love going to San Francisco, now its a warzone

Why would people want to live in a $4500 a month box among the discarded needles and human feces?

People have to wear masks to block the smell - not the virus

What kind of cities are they trying to create when they allow this to happen?

August 24, 202048 THE TRUTH Biden Has Never Had an Original Thought
Biden stole the most compelling part of his acceptance speech from Jack Layton, a leftist from Canada

Canada has 3 major national parties: left, lefter and leftist, and this is from the ex-leader of the leftmost one

He's done this before - has he ever had any original thoughts?

He's proven that he is just an empty vessel and they are filling him with the most

He's been in politics for over 40 years - what has he actually done?

August 22, 202047 THE TRUTH: The Rich Always Have Options
Unrest and lockdowns are driving people with the means to flee are fleeing

Politicians never think of the unintended consequences of raising taxes

Rich people always have options to leave

California is thinking about a retroactive tax for anyone who has left the state in the last 10 years

If you CAN leave, most people will

The superrich don't care - the working rich need to work to maintain their wealth - most of them can work remotely - why not just move to Florida and pay Florida taxes

Do you really want to stay in a place where you don't feel safe anymore?

Are we finally seeing people being driven out of these cities by mayoral mismanagement?

August 21, 202046 THE TRUTH: The Democratic Party of Jerks
The Democrats have become the party of jerks

Are there any Democrats out there who are still good, decent people? If so, I don't know any - they are being drowned out by the too-loud voices of the jerks

Prior to Obama they used to be nice people

Is there any shred of decency left in the Democratic Party?

One example: When they don't have a good argument they bash the character of the individual

Why can't we have a civil discourse any longer?

August 20, 202045 THE TRUTH: How To Fight Bullies and Jerks
Why are there so many bullies and jerks all of a sudden?

Whatever happened to decency and being good to your fellow human?

I don't know one Democrat who is not a jerk or a bully

How do you deal with bullies? PUSH BACK.

Bullies are full of hot air - they don't expect you to push back

When you put up resistance they run - and go find a "softer target"

Americans shouldn't back down when being bullied

If you acquiesce then they bully you even more

If you are a commercial enterprise do you really want to cut off half your customer base - look at what's happening with Goodyear

Bullies only want to fight the weak, they run from the strong.

August 19, 202044 THE TRUTH: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Has Tendrils Everywhere
The Chinese Communist Party is in deep with tech companies

Any company which does business in China has a CCP tendril stuck in it

CCP run Chinese companies have tendrils everywhere in the world

Things that are not made in China may still be run by Chinese companies run by the CCP in other parts of the world, like Italy, with tons of Chinese factories

We enabled them because we are too cheap to pay for American made goods

Noticed that the "Made in China" labels are getting bigger?

We are so naive to think that the CCP wants to deal with us fair and square

How to disengage? We need to be careful about our interactions

We are so happy-go-lucky that we'll just download and install TikTok because its fun, not thinking that people are stealing our data

Americans are win-win people, but China wants to win at our expense

They have no compunction about crushing us

We are trusting people, and the CCP is non-trusting, so we need to be less trusting in our dealings with them

August 18, 202043 THE TRUTH: Let's Work from Home Forever
One upside of the lockdowns: many of us don't need to commute anymore

Some people in my area used to commute 4 hours a day

Does anyone out there actually miss their commute, stuck in a car?

The truth is that commuting was bad for humans as well as the planet

Even though we've had the ability to work remotely for a while, we needed a crisis like this to actually change

Think of the upsides: no commute, less pollution, live in cheaper locations, no need for giant office campuses (repurpose as housing), more time to cook healthier foods, exercise, spend time with family

Let's take this opportunity to fully disconnect ourselves from the past of work

August 17, 202042 THE TRUTH: Despite the Dystopian Visions The Future is Bright
Why is everyone so damn pessimistic?

Do you think the future is going to be awful?

We have to, Star Trek-style, get beyond the gone beyond petty squabbles

We need a more optimistic vision of the future

The sad state of science fiction of today

We can't we relate to an optimistic future?

August 16, 2020 41 THE TRUTH: about the search for truth
• My origin story: philosophers only create more philosophers
• I'm a philosopher, engineer, futurist
• It's all about the truth
• Over the course of life, we determine certain things are "true"
• Its a wonder we can communicate at all
• Are are all messed up - people don't think things through
• People are too lazy to do that - they don't understand the unintended consequences of their actions
• Let's decide on reality - and then agree to disagree on other things
• Let's not get stuck - X = X and A = A, and lets move on
• You have to prove these truths to yourself

August 15, 202040 THE TRUTH: Why Do We Idolize Politicians
When did it become a bad idea to start idolizing successful entrepreneurs and a good idea to idolize politicians?

Everyone on the bankroll of government is paid via theft

Politicians are actually thieves

Entrepreneurs make money through trade

Why are the thieves lauded and the traders derided?

Why do people aspire to be thieves?

We used to look at millionaires as goals for ourselves instead of targets to steal from

If you have a certain level of success it's ok (enough to be taxed) but beyond that - its "apply a 50% wealth tax"

Today' "rich" did it through trade unless they are politicians - then they made it through theft.
