Quixotic Journey

 I’m on a quixotic journey trying to get the joke in this picture.

If you get it, can you explain it to me?

Saint John of the Cross Poems

 This was an impulse purchase I made at a second hand bookstore that I never regretted.

The poems are in original Spanish with opposite page facing English translation.

Deeply enmeshed in the prejudices of his class

 Am I this way?  I have no tribe in which  am enmeshed.  

Paradoxically, the price of this lack of prejudice is loneliness, extreme loneliness.

Am I a Man of Good Will?

 I wonder.

Are progressives?  I would think not.

What is wrong with Bruce Springsteen

 Besides being overrated?

 I think even the announcement of the End Time will begin, “This is the BBC News.”

 Genius requires that the main source of misinformation (or, lies) should be government programmes to correct misinformation. How better to launch the cleverest lies? But how to spread them? For after all, government can’t be everywhere, and do everything: not even Satan can rely on socialism.

WeChat Book Exchange Groups

 I’m a member of such a group.  I have yet to buy anything.  Most expatriates have terrible taste in literature,

The Memoirs of Chateaubriand

 A nice little volume that I found, almost miraculously. at a used book in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.  I’ve been scouring since then.

Trying to stay civilized

 

As Don Rickles Says…

 Stop annoying people!

But, I can’t help myself.

David Warren #13 on Education

“Perhaps even more urgent and important than the destruction of our universities, is the destruction of each and every “faculty of education,” around the world. This was something that first occurred to me in high school, and led to the many benefits of dropping out.”

Read his whole screed here:

It’s brilliant.

Make America Mediocre

 That should be the slogan of the Harris Walz Campaign.

Elon Musk apparently tweeted that a Harris Walz administration would mean that man would not go to Mars.  I heard this from a Harris supporter who I have exchanges with on WeChat.  I told him, that was because Harris Walz would be instead putting tampons in men’s bathrooms and enacting stupid DEI policies.

His response to my assertion was that the Mars project was a vanity project for Musk and that Harris Walz would instead allocate resources to the very important project of turning White America into a Colorful America.  To this I responded that Harris Walz are seeking to make America mediocre.  Bye bye America that put a man on the Moon!

He had nothing to say to this except to try to get a rise out of me by talking of plans to change America’s national anthem with a tune called “Rise Together!’.

 TWELVE YEARS. — We began on Michaelmas, 29th September 2012, to write these Idle Essays, upon being tossed out of the last Canadian daily that was printing our column. We thus went “underground,” in what was once a free, and Christian, country. I haven’t given up, idly writing, and will continue for as long as I can. O Prince of the Heavenly Host, pray for us!

“Macroeconomics”

 I have this theory that if governments had never adopted fiat currency, the pseudoscientific whodo voodoo “discipline” of macroeconomics would never have been inserted in university economics curriculums.

OMG! I hope no one drowned!

 Someone decided to toss a public bike into the soup!

Pitto Lisco

 Listen to this for reasons to never trust Harris Walz supporters.

 —La razón corrige los errores lógicos, pero los errores espirituales sólo son corregibles por una conversión de la persona.

Las evidencias presuntas se desvanecen en silencio, cuando las contemplamos desde un nivel espiritual más alto.

—Reason corrects logical errors, but spiritual errors can only be corrected by a person’s conversion. 

The presumed proofs vanish in silence, when we contemplate them from a higher spiritual level.

 It is because of my preternatural (though not supernatural) appreciation of paradox that I am generally right about most trends, and the consequences of events; whereas the experts tend to be wrong, or rather, are always wrong. (For them to be wrong so consistently suggests they are taking supernatural hints, i.e. from the Devil. Indeed, what the Devil predicts is always the glib.)
