D: No he's not
Me: Here's the check receipt
D: The note says its' a loan repayment
Me ; Where's the loan paperwork?
D: It was a verbal arrangement
Me: So where's the interest payment?
D: It was a no interest loan
...etc. etc. etc.
Common Knowledge avoidance.
Oh... please.
ReplyDeleteSelf-incrimination
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › S...
In criminal law, self-incrimination is the act of making a statement that exposes oneself to an accusation of criminal liability or prosecution.
Canadian law · Chinese law · Indian law · United States law
Or... maybe... you prefer China way? ;-P
;-P
ReplyDeleteYeah, Xi needs a break. How long has China been pulling America's cart?
ReplyDeleteFor such a great benefit to em???
ReplyDeleteWhy they need to stop milking such a golden cow? ;-P
YET ONE reason why USA is not an empire.
ReplyDeleteEmpire -- make all impoverished, while themself prosper.
You, it seems, making all around you empowered, while themself losing ground... because of believing some stupid BS (like that that globalization is not reason of your prosperity).
Go figure!
Where would America be today without all her enablers? *tsk-tsk*
ReplyDeleteDunno... you say.
ReplyDeleteWakanda?
ReplyDeletePft!
ReplyDeleteLaugh while you can, monkey boy. ;P
ReplyDeleteGood laughing one... who laughing last one. ;-P
ReplyDeleteIt'll definitely be your tech...
ReplyDeleteIf you want to intimidate me... you need to try better. mUUUUch better. ;-P
ReplyDeleteWhy would I want to do that/
ReplyDeleteWell... communication with text... easy to misunderstand. :-/
ReplyDeleteNo intonation...
ReplyDelete...unlike your cousins... ;)
ReplyDeleteSigh... Lem.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
Naaah. Bladerunner. ;)
ReplyDeleteYawn... overgrown Eliza program.
ReplyDeleteBleh.
But westerners... so easy to dazzle.
\\Naaah. Bladerunner. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou want to rise that OLD Lem VS Dick dispute? ;-P
Again!
SciFi's your genre, not mine.
ReplyDeleteDo I use it against you... too often? ;-P
ReplyDeleteWell... for me it more like catalog of different thought patterns...
than some fan-boying stuff.
Yawn.
Lem vs Dick isn't fan-boy stuff?
ReplyDeleteSeems we do EXACTLY the same thing vis "fan-boying".
ReplyDelete\\Lem vs Dick isn't fan-boy stuff?
ReplyDeleteAnd Plato vs Aristotle? ;-P
\\Seems we do EXACTLY the same thing vis "fan-boying".
Like that Laputa "scientists" with their bags with stuff? ;-)
Near future of USA army? ;-P
ReplyDeleteI like his strategy of keeping something between him and the drone.
ReplyDeleteAs for the US Army, they won't be waving sticks... sticks are too cheap.
And Javelins... are too big.
ReplyDeleteAh... I know, your soldiers will be wearing exo-skeletons, so they could wave with bigger boom-sticks. ;-P
Oh, no. For that they would need Li-ion batteries... and all Li is in china too.
...and California, except it's not "green" to mine it. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd hipsters will became miners? ;-P
ReplyDeleteNaah. They'll leave it in the ground and grow poppies over it.
ReplyDelete;P
ReplyDeletebtw - Zizek argued for US and Western intervention in Ukraine today, "A LEFTIST PLEA FOR NEW IMPERIALIST INTERVENTIONS"
ReplyDeleteI don't repost things he publishes at his substack. You probably would have liked it, though.
What an attention seeker... yakk! ;-P
ReplyDeleteHis substack is fun. Political messages are "free", philosophical/ psychological ones go behind the paywall.
ReplyDeleteWhatever...
ReplyDeletehardly he is open to dialog. Hardly anything good would come up out of it, anyway.
He's one of the most prolific writers on the planet. He's in a perpetual dialogue with the world.
ReplyDeleteYap.
ReplyDeleteI have met one such... already. Yakk!
Diva-Primadonna.
Bleh!
My picture-of-the-World are still incomplete.
ReplyDeleteSo I seeking something I could close it with.
His -- complete. Closed. And inaccessible for revisions.
Like that code of Win XP. ;-P
And that is... neither good nor bad.
ReplyDeleteThat's just... c'est la vi.
Same as how Picture-Of-the-World of Lem are closed... and not accessible for revisions... anymore. :-((((
Yes, we all have "limits" that define our character. And once we've reached these limits, change becomes ever harder to imagine. Death certainly forecloses all future opportunities for any particular person to grow, but it doesn't prevent others from picking up the ball and running with their thoughts, and taking them further.
ReplyDeleteZizek is a mix of Hegel, Marx and Lacan. I see myself as a mix of Plato, Freud, Zizek and Han.
How you see yourself with Lem, et al...
Philosophy strives to snap a picture of the world. You never get there. Its' a journey.
ReplyDelete\\And once we've reached these limits, change becomes ever harder to imagine.
ReplyDeleteNaaah.
One just need to go out. Visit unusual places.
Yawn.
But... we became agoraphobic... with time.
\\but it doesn't prevent others from picking up the ball and running with their thoughts, and taking them further.
Not in a way devised previously...
\\How you see yourself with Lem, et al...
Non-how.
He is like a food to a cow.
To chew for as long as it'll be digested.
It's just... that is most tasty, richest, most persistent thing... maybe just so far.
\\Philosophy strives to snap a picture of the world. You never get there. Its' a journey.
That's why I prefer technology.
Which can provide you wheels, and engine, and cosy sit... to make that journey most comfortable. ;-P
/...That depends on the tech, doesn't it? cell-phones will drive you mad... ;)
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING becomes the privatized "public sphere"...
ReplyDeleteThe Hypernoramlized Hyperreality grows ever more present and immediate...
ReplyDeleteTraditional society.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
Go try to live... in some kibbutz. ;-)
World becomes Global Village... and it sickening you?
ReplyDeletePS btw, iptv-org/iptv Collection of 8000+ publicly available IPTV channels from all over the world
I'm more inclined towards Ted Kaczynski's cabin.
ReplyDeleteSend me a pigeon... when you'd succeed. ;-P
ReplyDeletePassenger pigeon.
ReplyDeleteOr dodo. ;-P
Pigeons... the only OTHER creature suitable to human urban cohabitation.
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe a few "nihilistic" squirrels as well. ;)
ReplyDeleteLike this one ;-P
ReplyDeleteYap. This one is too trad. A tradwife...
