Some parcohial considerations on geopolitics.  Well, they're out there banging drums, "yallahs!" and honks from passing cars. "Free Free Palestine."

It's like a franchise. Once upon a time people addressed the manager by name and went out of their way to tip students employees so they could attend school. 

A franchise is a franchise. What seemed like a local fixture is a surrogate for global arbitrage. Eventually, nobody knows any of the employees by name. Exchange pleasantries for decades and people dispense with names. Eventually, asking itself is an act of alienation. Why disrupt the easy sense of familiarity with asking their name. Nobody knows the manager's name.  At conferences the exclusive purpose is homogenization. They all do the same job and none of them will cross paths until the next time.

So now the Muslims are imitating what they see on TV.  

The anatomy of the brain is something I now approach with trepedation Quite frankyly, I don't want to test my aability.

For the time being it goes up. Posts woll be winnowed later,

 @ndnow12  You know Game theory exist outside poker? This is from Fedor Holtz and Steffen site pokercode "Game theory optimal, or GTO poker strategy, is a strategy that seeks complete balance in the game, making your plays 100% unexploitable by your opponents. This style of poker is the exact opposite of the exploitative poker strategy, which most players from the older generations employ.""

 writing a piece about an experience which might be called deja vous, but is really the subjective identity of expectations and their later realization. The unexpected confluence of a decades old vision and its realization does not make it easier to explain, it only makes it impossible to deny. It does not presage a sustainable social infrastructure.  Revisiting a district in my city helped provide reference points to recover memories. This is the subjective "unity of place at a distance of time". Such linguistic paradoxes speak to the asychronous nature of consciousness .

The same downtown edifices were robbed in broad daylight during a recession in 2008. The streets were abandoned.  In 2024 they have since been resold and are teeming with foreign nationals by night.   

Some things are difficult to express because the nature of the message requires unfamiliar carrier wavelengths. Nevertheless, their unfamiliar format is necessary  What we most often observe is often camoflauged by seeming familiarity - and we perennially overestimate our capacity to perceive true reality.

I am too late in life to acquire affluence or enjoy fruit of pre-selection. All I could hope to gain is a factoid or three which might get a hearing from someone, to have them listen for a moment.

But even here, the garden of knowledge is growing with apples growing like a jungle, so full of fruit that Gluttons will choke on it, "Taste of it and you will become like a God.", 

So what will knowledge gain me but that access to cognitive preselection which renders people receptive to what I say and only for a moment? Here I alm, speaking to void. A scarce apostrophe for the digital gods. What use have for I of or by knowing?

Should I sacrifice my appetite for knowledge to do God's will, or am I chasing a phantom of knowledge in service of the devil?
