Working Z39.90 Targets: Updated Mercury Z39.50 Client ztargets.xml file
Wednesday, June 01, 2016 2:34 AM

Working Z39.90 Libraries : Updated Mercury Z39.50 Client XML file

I’m not a librarian but I like this piece of software. I updated the ztargets.xml file using data from http://irspy.indexdata.com/ on 2016-05-31 and some Excel work.

Here is the file. It goes in the “Mercury Z39.50 Client/databases” directory. You will need Administrator privilege to overwrite the old file.

WARNING: I do not know if the database in the Mercury Z39.50 Client has libraries that are working and NOT included in the IRSpy Database. Therefore, please rename the original ztargets.xml file and place a backup copy in another directory in case you need to put it back.

Helper app: XML Notepad 2007 from Microsoft helped me confirm the validity of the XML.

You will need to first RENAME this file to “ztargets.xml”. I uploaded it as a .txt file as WordPress wisely does not permit .xml files, just in case the browser tries to interpret it as a website. -Kenneth Udut, Naples, FL USA, May 31, 2016.

PS – you can get a copy of Mercury Z39.50 Client for Windows at: http://www.basedowtech.com/projects/mzc

usenet science groups are alive and well.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 4:05 PM

Fascinating! Usenet is not dead. I went to an ancient Unix box I had an account on to see what’s alive and dead on Usenet.

These Science groups are alive and well with much discussion.

Many people don’t know what Usenet is, or if they do, they think of binaries. But to my happy surprise, people are on there, actively discussing the same kinds of things we chat about here on Facebook.

I discovered which groups had activity (not an easy task in 2016 as Usenet seems to have been forgotten – I almost did) by looking here: http://www.eternal-september.org/hierarchies.php?language=en and seeing which had active postings. I subscribed to them and, lo and behold, they’re alive and well.

He won’t make much of an impact if he wins. Checks and Balances
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 2:13 AM

He won’t make much of an impact if he wins. Checks and Balances. So, sure, he can be President if he likes. After 4 or 8 years, it’ll be another President who accomplishes little whose few campaign promises they manage to squeeze through Congress will be overturned by the next one. Gotta love Checks and Balances.

===

Of course. But then, there will be the next President who will change much of it. Heck even Clinton, who only gives the show of being a continuation of Obama, will likely decimate Obamacare to help “secure her legacy” and win some public trust. It’s what they all do.

Which President successfully fulfilled their campaign promises just as they promised? I’m sure there’s plenty of foundation to support my assertion that the answer would be none, somewhere in the realm of “they sorta did kinda ok not really”

==

The problem is and I say this for your benefit and those who are also true believers:

There is a very high probability that many who are supporting him vocally online will stay home and watch his inevitable victory, thereby causing his defeat.

===

I prefer to vote 3rd party if possible. People who are democrat or republican always tell me I threw away my vote. But they’re wrong: it was my vote. Not theirs. There’s no throwing a vote away if you use it the way your conscience dictates.

===

I don’t know the planet this election is happening on for you, but the hatred for Clinton among progressives is far greater than any hate coming out of the Trump side for her.

==

I don’t know where you’ve been looking. Trump will want Sanders’ people. He’ll say whatever it takes to get them on board. He’ll piss off a lot of alt.right but not enough for them to get discouraged, just a little disappointed.

—

He has a far greater shot at grabbing at least a portion of Progressive vote than Clinton does. He’s already started by his position on transgenders in bathrooms. You’ll see more of that.

===

You’ll be embracing Progressives in a few months. He’ll grab a number of Sanders’ supporters, the ones that don’t go to Gary Johnson or go the “let’s be realistic” route for Clinton. The hatred for Clinton among Sanders’ supporters is quite nearly bloody.

===

She’s unpopular but at the same time, the media has been relentlessly in support of her. There will be plenty of people at the polls going, “Fuck.. I guess I gotta go Clinton…. ugh” and check the box.

===

Indeed. I mean, I think the Sanders and Trump fables of “he’ll win against all odds.. .against The System and be triumphant” must be encouraging to each of the parties: and honestly, I hope they continue believing it. I want to see the 2 party system crack a little and extreme posiitons like Sanders and Trump are the only way to achieve some real change in the future parties.

But.. that being said, of those that will actually go out and vote instead of staying home either in assumed victory or assumed defeat, many will just go with what they feel is a “regretful necessity”, which would be Clinton. They’re not showing up on the polls… they’re not enthusaistic supporters. But they do vote like good citizens.

Many of the people vocal at this point in the process aren’t regular voters and are likely to stay home that day.

===

Not much is gonna change either way. Checks and Balances works very very well…. except for War of course. But internal policy changes are purposely slow. It’s the way our govt is set up to operate. This is all campaign promise stuff: empty words to gather votes.

====

If you REALLY want him to win, you’d better make sure people will go out and vote for him. I believe in the political system, as broken as it is, and people should choose what their conscience says.

But all of this confidence among the common people can easily backfire for your cause. I’m not impressed by confidence or youtube videos or statistics. The only day that matters is the day people go out and vote.

More people would rather stay home online and talk about it than actually going out to vote. That won’t change.

===

I went to a very liberal hippie school in 1990/91. Had all the safe spaces and stuff and it the town where university PC was born two years prior. [it actually came from the US military].

I watched it change through the decades. There was a shift in the late 1990s and a polarization started happening, ending up in what you see today.

They’re more likely to be Sanders supporters or Libertarians (now that the choice is available) than Clinton supporters, who is typically most popular among older 2.0 feminist white women and black women and other minorities.

===

I just know how the system works.

a) War is not covered under checks and balances.

b) economic situation is not within the power of the President.

—

Let’s swap it – maybe I can fix your idealism a little:

Let’s say Sanders wins. Do you really think the country will become Socialist?

Of course it wouldn’t. Stuff has to pass through Congress. Large, established departments with power will have to comply and not push back with their own agendas.

It wouldn’t happen.

Now, let’s make it Trump.

Same.

===

If this is your first election cycle that you’re participating in, maybe you’re not aware of these things. But the political system does not hinge on a single person. It was designed to be slow and inefficient. Slow and inefficient creates jobs, jobs security. The slower things happen the more stable the government.

Forefathers designed it that way. That’s why we haven’t been destroyed by a campaign promise made in 200+ years.

That won’t change this time either. Same thing as always happens will happen.

===

Well, I wasn’t being ageist here. But the US political system is a complicated thing. This part of the election process is just empty words they say in order to gather votes. By the time they get into office, whoever it is, they can’t enact any of their promises without a huge amount of pushback from Congress and large established departments. So, outside of war, not much changes for any President without a struggle on their part.

===

True, although this being a topsy-turvy election cycle – first one I’ve seen that’s been this exciting yet (I find politics BORING AS HELL): – third parties *may* stand a chance, depending who they are.

Just today, my own mother, whose antipathy towards politics is greater than my own, asked me about Gary Johnson. She’s been posting about him on Facebook.

Says something to me about the potential for third parties in this election cycle. But, I voted for H-Ross Perot twice… I keep shooting for a 3rd party to make a wedge. Doesn’t have to win, just make a wider and wider wedge.

====

This is the first election (I’m 44) I’ve seen that:

a) Has TWO extremists with very active supporters
b) No clear Republican
c) No clear Democrat.

Hillary Clinton is being Centrist. A little Democrat, a little Republican. I’ve never seen anything like this before. This election, there’s NO REPUBLICAN. It’s mindblowing to me.

I’m not saying we’d get a Libertarian president but I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls some good numbers, even this late in the game.

===

I think the Democratic party will become a Centrist party, encompassing standard Republican and standard Democratic alike.

Trump is wrecking the Republican party. It’s been an interesting cycle so far. I look forward to changed parties.

===

Problem is: globalism is on her side, which means all the big businesses and such. Sanders and Trump’s failure was to be too Protectionist. It doesn’t court capitalism well.

===

Individualists like you and me who would go for a Sanders or a Trump or a Gary what’s-his-face and vote on forum polls on Facebook aren’t big corporations who trade with other countries and depend on a globalist USA to prosper.

===

Of course. In perfect theory that’s all true. But Sanders’ and Trump’ protectionist stance, while popular with the people aren’t supportive of global trade.

Sanders wants Organic Farms. Trump wants white people picking tomatoes down the street here instead of the illegals we got. Works out to the same thing.

Personally? I’d be ok with it. But then my laptop would cost $4000 instead of $400 and my Walmart and Dollar Stores would be gone. That kinda sucks. Unfortunately, on election day, I have a suspicion that realization will cross people’s minds as they go and vote, despite what they’re saying now.

At the same time, I’m really grateful for this election cycle because it FORCES protectionism to be something that the next president needs to at least partially incorporate into policy. So, that’s defintely something there.

===

I’ll likely vote 3rd party. I usually do anyway. Once I voted for Bush – only time I voted Republican for President. [I missed a couple of elections but usually I find the Independent]. It was his 2nd term. I liked his cabinet.

Colin Powell and shit – I was like “fuck, well, we’re IN this stupid mess now, at least he’s got smart people around his dumb ass to help him out”.

So, what does he do a month later? Fires them all. FUCK. Last time I do that. My voting experiment was a fail.

===

The radical left has owned academia since the early 1970s. It’s not changing anytime soon. They don’t have the power to change free speech: just on campuses. Radical left doesn’t usually get into positions of political power. They just write letters and say things. True influence level is small. Always has been.

===

What HAS been interesting though, is that the alt.right has fully learned to adopt the left-language and use it for its own purposes.

That’s proof positive that politically correctness actually succeeded because all political sides are completely fluent in it.

Now, they have to deal with the consequences of it.

===

am too ’cause *just in case*. I gotta vote with my conscience. Neither Trump nor Hillary are fits for my conscience, even though I’m not worried whoever becomes president ’cause they all get their wings clipped.

I’m glad a libertarian with a decent track record is in now. I _might_ actually go that route. Haven’t decided yet. As always, I wait until the primaries process is over with.

===

I’m not a fan either, but I’m playing “wait and see”… see if he gains momentum. I don’t shut off my choices until I close the curtain behind me on election day. Who knows? I may end up voting Trump even. Right now, I’m just gathering knowledge.

===

Ah – PC. Ok, here we go:
Back in 1990, I learned about PC. It was about basic civility, calling people what they liked. It was meant to be respectful. The US military came up with it in the 70s/80s and some girls at a nearby college wrote a pamphlet encouraging its usage.

We had safe spaces too: floors and areas set aside for people to congregate free of threat. Nobody minded. It was their thing, so go for it.

At the time, the Right was clueless to any of this. Spoke an entirely different language. Politically correct was meaningless gibberish to them.

Flash forward 25 years. PC became militant with third wave feminism, and as a reactionary backlast, the alt.right popped up seemingly out of nowhere over the past 15 years and is fluent in what became “University-speak”, except flipping it around to support their positions.

Now we’re in 2016. Both the SJW and alt.right are speaking exactly the same language, just taking different sides. This is novel and fascinating to me.

===

Indeed. That’s a big one. They’re the “Face of the USA”, even if they can’t directly affect foreign policy (except for war.. that they can do directly in principle, although in practice, it goes through Congress and the cabinet and such).

===

Indeed. That’s the beauty of our forefathers. They gave us a sluggish system so that it would be stable and no temporary head can do too much wrong… or anybody for that matter. It’s kept the USA stable for 200+ years and will continue to.

===

I can go with that as well. We definitely need to pull back and circle the wagons and lick our wounds for a little while before trying to conquer the planet again.

===

Perhaps eventually, but for the first few years, it’ll weaken the dollar tremendously: what buying power will it have if we’re not spending it?

They’ve got plenty of other markets. We need China more than China needs us.

===

It goes beyond products. Even back in 2000, I worked for a pharmaceutical company as a systems analyst.

All of our coding was done by Brazalian programmers. They were cheap, well educated and very very good at their jobs.

Saved the company tons of money.

We won’t get those jobs back here with product tariffs.

===

I wonder if any of them have plans for service jobs?
Loss of American jobs goes beyond manufacturing: Service jobs have been exported and I don’t see any way to bring telecommunications and programming jobs to the USA. Corporations will go with cheapest options and I honestly don’t think there’s a way to force corporations to NOT use their cheaper services.

===

He’ll backpedal by the summertime to gather a bunch of Sanders’ people. He won’t apologize but he’ll just change his mind.

===

Well, part of me thinks it’s a clever wise game: but I think he’s short-sighted. He sees today’s needs but not tomorrow’s.

He’s learning as he goes. He’s great at shouting down competition but I don’t think he can see where he words will lead a month from now or a year from now.

So, I don’t think he has a long-term strategy, just a series of short term strategies gears for the moment.

===

He would’ve been. There’s no doubt it was the plan in the works on both sides. But, there’s more than two sides now, which makes this a fascinating race. One of the sides is dead – the Republican side is a dead side right now. Blows my mind.

===

Join the Internet. Stuck here typing away is annoying. Just suck me in and I’ll live there. Might as well get it over with.

Tuesday, May 31, 2016 1:36 AM

First heard of self-organizing criticality in 1990 by a professor when I first got to college…. and unfortunately he wasn’t my professor. It was too soon for me to attend his courses, which were higher level and I never made it past 1.5 yrs due to money. But I _really_ wanted those courses. Thankfully the growth of the Internet from then through now has allowed me to learn as much of this stuff as I can on my own, and when you think in terms of self-organizing systems, saddle points, chaos, all related systems in their non-linear fashion… and such… it becomes how you see and understand things intuitively, even if you don’t have the math behind it handy.

I know enough about the chemistry of foods to know it’s a solid combo. [sound grosser than it is]. I like a shot of liquor now and again to act as rubbing alcohol to clean out the gumminess in my substance negra in my brain caused by excessive activation of happy brain chems + whatever tar from the nicotine is sitting in there. I could also huff some paint thinner but that’s a bit too extreme.

[Well, I found the pouch with the cavindish in it, but no pipe. However, I did find the last shot of a captain morgan in my pantry.

So, I took the captain morgan, added it to a large mug of coffee, added sweet ‘n low, powdered creamer, and a drop of heavy whipping cream. It’s beautiful.]

These tests are easy to break. The MBTI I first took online in 1994. All excited, joined groups, made new friends online, took it seriously, got everybody I knew to take it.

A few years later, I tried to become all personality types and pass as each of them. Took me a few months on and off I’d try. One day, I succeeded. I knew how each 16 thought.

Now I can’t take it anymore ’cause I can empathize with each of the types.

ken-political-compassNo wonder I can’t stand him: the closer you are politically to someone where there’s still a difference, exaggerates the difference. Fuck. It’s correct.

I mostly can’t stand his 1st gen AI Linguistics “language node” bullshit. Good for its era but the symbolic representationalism totally took over linguistics and the stranglehold is yet to be fully released. ugh, whatever. Politically to me, he’s just another nutty old man who doesn’t give a shit what ppl think of him, which… actually, I admire in one sense but ppls adoration of him i don’t.

Good teacher though: She said, “You’ll forget all of the names except Christie Macauliff”.
Monday, May 30, 2016 9:34 PM

I remember Challenger because it was on my birthday. 14th birthday. I was home from school. Total space nut nerd geek. Watched it go up…. watched it go boom. Next morning in homeroom, the jokes already started. This was pre-Internet.

Good teacher though: She said, “You’ll forget all of the names except Christie Macauliff”. We were learning about Crispus Attix / Boston Massacre at the time – so good teaching to tie it together.

We were like, “No, we’ll remember Captain John…” um… well, I forgot everybody else. So yeah, she was right

Notice: “Last Flight”. I think that was diplomatic of them to put it that way.

Nonviolent communicaton – good and a bad side.
Monday, May 30, 2016 1:53 PM

I’m reading this – never heard of it before but it seems like a system of “how to talk with empathy”. Read through it, easy enough stuff. It’s generally how I communicate online at least. [not always of course but on general principle]

There’s actually courses with credits in it, jobs that require a certain amount of years of experience in it. It seems to me that’s “years of experience in speaking with kindness and empathy”. I don’t know how I’d do in real life, but online it’s not hard.

Still can’t figure out how I picked it up though. Probably watched a lot of Mr Rogers as a kid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication

Reading through it, the thing I don’t like about it is that there’s a high chance for abuse. There’s a passive-aggressive way of using it that could be manipulative. I could see this system being abused by sociopaths for example, or applied at times when it’s better to just tell someone off.

Girls don’t look more alike. They try to conform to a certain image but once the makeup and style is removed, they’re all distinctive.
Monday, May 30, 2016 12:22 AM

Girls don’t look more alike. They try to conform to a certain image but once the makeup and style is removed, they’re all distinctive.

I think you notice the differences between men more because you’re a man and notice the differences among your own kind.

Perhaps you see women as a different species than you and so you lump them together more, much as how all Americans look alike to Chinese people and such.

===

Yup. I mean part of it has to do with the limited capacity of humans to process uniqueness: We compress the world into simplified forms because there’s limited working space.

That’s what makes all squares squares and not unique things.

But when it’s applied to people… well, we’re certainly capable of better, assuming there aren’t inherent limitations of capacity.

==

How’d I do? I didn’t want to call otherness abusers stupid. It’s not limited processing capacity or limited storage… just disuse of inherent capabilities.

===

Well, by inherent limitations I speak in general. We simply can’t process all of the uniqueness of the Universe into our brains through our eyes, ears and other senses.

Too much unique. We’re sucking the universe into our brains through 2mm wide straws most of the time. [our eyes].

Then, our brains have a certain speed they run at and can do only so much.

So, we compress the data we receive, creating patterns. “Similars”.

a) This is similar to that.
b) This is not like that.
c) This is something I can’t process and must modify until I can process it, or I must reject it.

among others I’m sure.

This is a good thing of course: lets us get a lot of stuff done.

Yet, when it’s applied to people it can lead to horrible social consequences.

So, I think we’re in agreement, just taking different angles to reach similar conclusions.

===

Indeed. Whatever fits my preexisting pattern is accepted. All else is rejected. Because I am rejecting that which I don’t accept, I only see what I already accept, making everything look more and more like what I accept, because I’m automatically rejecting all else.

===
I liken it to sports mentality. Team players. I’ve never been a team player. Authority figures didn’t impress me, even as a kid. I respect authority due to the office of the authority but I don’t ascribe it to the person. [I’d respect my teachers because they were teachers and on another level I’d respect them as humans, but their authority as teachers, to me, didn’t make them authorities as humans, because to me, I treat all humans on equal footing and neither above nor below].

==

I’d need to see more on it to be a believer. I understand the point you’re making: and it’s definitely intriguing: I’ve never heard of it in 44 yrs but I’ve never done anything much in gender studies, and bells curves are usually anathama to me because of school (I was always outside of the bell curve and related best to people outside of the bell curves on either side)

===

I’ve never been a fan of evolutionary psychology, ever since the Alpha male craze of the 1980s. I was a kid/teen at the time and I was bombarded with these “pick up chicks – how to be an alpha male – don’t be a beta” crap in the back of Boys’ Life or comics or wherever i saw it…

===

I have a long time bias against evolutionary explanations for modern day behaviors.

===

BUT, I did order the Charles Atlas course when I was 12 yrs old. Went through the whole course. It works. I still use it.

===

But attractive to whom? Do men and women find the same men attractive? Do men and women find the same women attractive?

===

Physical attractiveness in men seems to be related to stereotypical masculine traits, which are culturally dependent. Might be strength in one culture. Might be wisdom in another, speed in another, and each of these traits are typicified by a stereotypical ‘image’ of what that ‘perfect man’ in that culture would be like. At least that’s my understanding.

===

Even THERE it’s tough, because you have different strata in society. Men occupy far more positions in society. So let’s say a woman is attracted to political power, and in that culture the man with political power is the fat man. So, the fat man will be attractive to that woman but to another woman who finds brains to be attractive, if the stereotype of a brainiac in that culture is short and slim, then that’s what she’ll be attracted to.

===

Still not buying it but it’s interesting. It might be tough for me too: this is where white male privilege might be coming into play: I’m six feet tall, broad shouldered, naturally muscular (I don’t work out anymore – just do occasional wall pushups), good facial bone structure, visibly strong nails. I’m not seeking anybody – haven’t in a long time – yet I get invitations wherever I go. I don’t even dress right. I’m a slob. But, men compliment my beard. (perfect standard guy beard without even shaving), women hover around me in stores while I’m trying to read something.. kind of annoying because I’m not looking for anybody… random kids come up to me and ask for help with stuff because I look like a “nice guy”…. …so maybe I’m blind to it because maybe I fit it. I dunno. I still find it hard to accept though.
Chat Conversation End
===
Like in school, girls would violently grab my hands and go, I WOULD KILL FOR YOUR NAILS. I’d politely wait until they let go, but it’d freak me out internally. Why the fuck do they keep grabbing my hands?
===
It’s doable. I’m always experimenting on myself, even since I was a kid. I have to know my limitations. I still do it.
===
I’m always messing with that. I mean, I kinda have a pattern now. I can eyeball portions fine, I try to keep somewhat of a ratio of meats and fiber things… try to limit carbs stuff, make sure there’s enough oils…. I can tell you how much protein/fat is in something by tasting it or looking at it. So, for me it’s maintenance. But I’d experiment again if something interesting came along.
===
Rarely had the luxury. A few times I did versions of the Atkins diet or similar things and then I’d be very strict. At 30, I got myself down to 3% body fat: I challenged myself to get down to what the standard weights tables said I should be for my height and frame. But I was cold and miserable all of the time, shitting rocks. So, I found my lower limit. Bounced up since then but in this case, I don’t want to find my maximum weight.
===
I was obsessing. I got down to 189 lbs. I was freezing cold – I could never get warm. 6 months in the gym and I lose 31 lbs, gained muscle, dropped body fat… it sucked. I wanted to hit 180 but it was impossible for me without losing muscle.
===
lol – closest thing to body dysmorphia I had was as a kid. Fastest runner 8,9,10 yrs old in a row. Thick calves. Skinny arms. Incredible Hulk was my idol. Got Charles Atlas (no weights required) at 12. Muscle just piled on within a month. Won a bb competition in high school (“clean and jerk”) my gym teacher secretly enrolled me in. [I didn’t know why I was doing this one challenge every day but I did it]….. but it wasn’t my thing. I just have the kind of body that can be muscular without trying. I’m overweight now – probably 20-30 lbs or so. Don’t care ’cause I could lose it anytime.
===
oh please. they’re just not trying. They’d rather bitch and moan. I haven’t dated in… shit, 20 yrs. No interest in a partner [3 psycho girlfriends in a row and I said fuck it and nearly joined a monastery a year later]. – but I know I could. I don’t even think about it.
===
They’re basing their idea of women on the women that play the flirting game. Most women DON’T play the flirting game. I avoid the flirting game. Hate the flirting game. Desperation is a turn off. You can smell desperation in a person a mile away.
===
I’m standing in a store. Woman walks up to me, pulls her shirt down a little so a little more boob top is showing. Starts flittering her eyes. I avoid her and walk the other way. I’m not looking for anyone. I can smell her makeup. I don’t like the smell of makeup.
===
It’s annoying. I’m not saying it happens daily… but a few times a month. I feel their ‘bubble’ too close. I don’t want a desperate woman who has to play peacock. If i want someone, I’ll find someone who I’ve talked to online locally, who is intelligent, I don’t give a shit what they look like or sound like. If they got brains, they’re fine.
===
Two girlfriends after that was more merciful. She was desperate. Never had a man. Body odor, not that I was much better, hair overbleached, but a fellow Doctor Who fan. So, I let her do whatever, did what she wanted to experiment. Big mistake. She followed me for months after that, wrote desperate letters… ugh. These weren’t even the psycho girls that turned me off of dating – they were later. But these two stood out.

Anyway, I like women but I like them as people, not mates. I’m sure I’m saying some cliche here but it’s how i am.
===
Oh I don’t think finding a good woman is hard at all. I’ve got a lot of potentials on my friends lists in different places. But to me they’re people. Anything more than that is gravy but not the primary.
===
Oh. That. My mistake back then? Playing the flirting game. I learned. If a woman is playing peacock to get my attention, I want nothing to do with her.
==
Of course the women that play peacock are ALSO the women with the boob jobs, spent hours on makeup and clothes – not for herself, but to go on the hunt. I don’t want to be prey, and I don’t want desperation either.
===
fucking soy. I had to stop it as a protein source. I started getting cranky – skin felt weird. Couldn’t figure out why. Then I learned about the phytoestrogens. Sucked too ’cause it was a dirt cheap protein source.
===
Did you know that copper leads to estrogen and zinc leads to testosterone? Copper’s in chocolate, coffee, cocoa. Zinc’s in pumpkin seeds. Anyway, I pop a zinc a few times a week. Keeps all the white stuff in my body working good – white blood cells, whatever else that’s white… to counterbalance 2 pots of coffee a day.. all that copper.
===
But yeah – big believer in b12, magnesium, zinc. Those three are amazing. I don’t bother taking other vitamins but those I’ll take a few times a week when I think of it. Take them together and it’s like a tranquilizer. It’s awesome.‘—
===
Ah! I work from home [run a family biz] – and my laptop is on the back porch – full screen lanai. It’s not direct sun but it’s around. Vitamin D3 makes me want to throw up, so I don’t touch it. Tried it fora bit though.

===
I believe in lightweight oils now and again – like mineral oil but for the body – gets in the cracks… magnesium because our diets are usually too heavy in calcium…. [and calcium and magnesium balance each other out in the tightening and loosening of blood vesels] …. zinc… and b12 because, well, b12. But I’ve tried many others. Those were the three left over that I stuck with.
===
I figure my diet gives me most things. Zinc isn’t in a lot of foods so it’s weak and magnesium is only in greens, and I don’t always get a salad (but I like salad so it’s not a hardship for me) – so magnesium is a replacement salad for me.
===
Back when it was legal, I was on ephedrine (or the pseudo one) for a year. One of my experiments. Loved it. Tons of energy. One day, I tripled the dosage. Thought I was gonna die. I was done with it then. Found out later some kid in texas DID die and then banned it not long after that.

I dunno if it’s problem though: I think it’s an evolutionary advantge. When there is an emergency, I’m RIGHT THERE, helping, giving 1000%. It knocks me out, but I have instant reaction energy always available.
==
lol but you added the nomad thing – I like that. I have a hermit’s personality. I prefer to work alone. I’m not a wanderer: I like my feet on the ground in place. For me, I don’t LIKE when my fight/flight/freeze kicks in. I get tunnel vision – ears get hot – it’s awful. Been a long time but it’s an awful sensation.
===
So, it’s probably not a physical ADHD but more mental… or something, I dunno. I just know the hyperfocus fits. When I’m on a project, everything I do in fact, gets as much of my attention as I can possibly give: even this conversation. It’s a high to be focused.

20/180 in good eye, bad eye has no central – so I have cyclops vision. Middle age has been GREAT for me though. I can use my iPhone now without my glasses. Visions’s improving. Love it. Left ear is tin, right ear only goes up to 5000 hz, yet I have both kinds of perfect pitch and can play any musical instrument. Never made anything of it – was supposed to go to Julliard but refused ’cause the increasing perfection upon perfection would’ve driven me nuts – I need to be creative, not perfect. Yeah, target practice not for me. Although, I can shoot a basketball with one hand from far away and get it in 7 out of 10 times. So I guess it’s the ‘type’ of aim and shoot.

I’ve skinned a few deer with my bro. [he’s a hunter – eagle vision] – and I *did* castrate two pig once… that were too old for it. Never had a problem with the smells and blood. I just did it.Not sure if speed-stabbing is a thing though tongue emoticon
===
I take the evolutionary advantage stuff with a grain of salt – like I say, I’m kinda skeptical about evolutionary psychology as a whole. Not that it’s not interesting ’cause it is, but they seem like contrived, not provable reasons for modern behavior.

Wait – I’d have been a runner. Muscular calves, #1 runner in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Sprinter though. Not long distance. So, messenger maybe.
===
Right now, I’m growing hair long: someday it’ll be pure white. I’ll be the wise dude on the hill or in a cave or something. I prefer mythology (Joseph Campbell style) over evolutionary stuff generally. Better stories.
===
I like genetics, but I see it as interdependent forces: Bottom level you have genes. The genes interact with unconscious processes ,which interact with the conscious processes, which interact with the world around, which also influences the conscious processes which influence the unconscious processes which modify the gene expression availablities. So it’s a system from environment to genes, each modifying the other. So the way our genes express themselves in THIS environment will necessarily not be the same as it was 50,000 years ago. Even if it’s the same genes more or less, between the environment, conscious and unconscious processes, the expression of the genes will differ.
===
I guess my brain doesn’t go back that far. I tend to mentally stop at Ancient Egypt, at the historical records. Civilizations have progressed due to social and technological advances and yet, with some language lessons, we could PROBABLY function in ancient Egypt and, after a year or so of adjusting (assuming removal of language barrier), someone from Ancient Egypt could survive today. But in the eras beyond recorded history, I see a lot of speculative fiction. It’s hard for me to place certainties in it. I like hearing the tales told but to me they’re a modern mythology for a people hungry for an ancient past to draw inspiration from, as most of our old mythologies have been decimated. We need new ones.
===
and tales of ancient evolutionary adaptation fits the bill nicely for the 19th-21st century ppls.
===
Well, there *is* some evidence I’m aware of of the skull size of women increasing significantly from the 15th century to the 20th century, due to better nutrition and healthcare, so there is some merit to what you’re saying.
===
That’d be true but also smaller bodies’ hearts beat faster, which drains more oxygen. I don’t know if that makes up for the difference but look at children for examples. Also, we could compare dwarves to see.
===
Funny thing is, we don’t need all of those calories. There’s a lot of lost traditions rarely practiced like extensive fasting periods for example. Probably could study peoples that have fasting rituals and compare longevity, mental capacity and calorie needs like Tibetan monks or other monastic societies that are frequent fasters to compare.
==
Vegan’s too strict anyway: it’s an unnatural tradition. Vegetarianism is commonplace among humans, but vegan is a weird modern contrivance.
===
I think a lot of the excess calories we eat in 1st world countries assist in our ancient bodies and minds coping with a world we designed but wasn’t designed FOR us to function in.
==
Oh that’s not true. Back in the early 1980s, there was a family of vegans living two blocks away from me. A mother and four kids. Strict vegan. But you’re right that eventually it catches up to you: One day, when my friend was about 12 [ and yes, he was raised strict vegan ] – he was upset. His mom was having fainting spells, went to the doctor. Told her she has to eat fish now. So, she made fish regretfully for herself but not her kids. They turned out fine. But maybe eventually they’ll have to start eating fish too, I dunno. Lost touch with them a few years back.
===
All the kids were raised vegan, so if this was 1984, that means she’d been practicing it since the early 1970s as he was the oldest of four boys.
===
But I’m no expert in the stuff. It’s anecdotal. I was a kid. I’d heard of vegetarian but it was the first time I heard the word “Vegan”…. I just knew he wasn’t able to have birthday cake at parties and brought his own food.
===
I dunno. Any diet you do has to have the right balance of carbs, proteins, fats. Gotta have some bacteria for digestion so fiber or yogurt is good. Gotta get your vitamins. Gotta have a certain amt of calories. Gotta have a certain amount of water. But HOW you get those things, I don’t know how much it matters. I think we’re all deficient in some areas, excess in others. Doubt anybody’s come up with the perfect human diet yet.

You’d think SOMEBODY along the line would’ve figure out the TALL diet: This diet will make your next few generations taller.
===
Yeah – there’s been a worldwide growth spurt, but I credit baby food / early medical care / washing hands.
===
Yeah, better caretaking. I mean if you get sickly when you’re a baby, you’re not gonna grow as tall. But if you’re well cared for, you have the best chance to maximize your height.
===
9th-11th century. That was also the height of Byzantine civilization… the Islamic emprires were also at their peak before they started getting weird… there was cooperation… Not with Rome though. Rome was in the outs at that point
===
Good question. I dunno. I’m exactly 6′ but I’m not perfection. My mom did feed us yogurt in the late 70s/early 80s.. had a weird yogurt maker. We weren’t vegetarian or anything but she experimented with health stuff.. mother earth news and shit.

I’ve yet to see anybody’s utopian vision come to fruition, with the possible exception of the early Internet dreams… and that was a technological utopia not really a people one, and we’ve been getting there. But social utopians always seem to fail.

Closest ones i can think of are: Greeks had their day, Romans theirs, Byzantine Empire was like 900 years – that’s a long time. Ottoman empire was a long time. US empire was a long time… so I guess they last for some periods of time China of course… very long time.

So, we’re be talking using strings and cans? Man, that sucks – FAcebook + microsoft was just gonna lay a huge cable across the ocean like the 1850s transatlantic cable… doing something USEFUL for a change… now we gotta go back to can-string-can communication tongue emoticon

This is genuine infrastructure. It’s not just software or cellphones or tablets or websites. It’s structural stuff. I approve.
This was in 1972, pre Roe/Wade, and just a few months AFTER they banned Thalidomide… so thankfully mom didn’t give birth to an armless me.
Sunday, May 29, 2016 9:09 PM

I was born at 6.5 months. I looked uglier than that. I still do.
This was in 1972, pre Roe/Wade, and just a few months AFTER they banned Thalidomide… so thankfully mom didn’t give birth to an armless me.

Asked her if she would’ve aborted me had it been legal. While she’s pro-choice (as am I), she said she herself couldn’t do it.

Still, I could’ve not been here. Some people “wish they were never born”. Not me. I’m glad to be here.

===

I wouldn’t force the choice on someone else. I don’t know their life circumstances, and I can’t offer them alternatives. I can’t carry the baby for them. I don’t have an orphanage handy if I could convince them to carry.

Wish I could. Wish I had an artificial womb that I could teleport the fetus’ out of their wombs. But, I don’t.

So I see abortion laws as they exist as “regretful necessities”. The choice is important, although i couldn’t choose it.

===

Philosophically, I agree. Existence is an astounding, amazing thing. I shouldn’t be here. None of us should. Yet, we are. Blows my mind on a regular basis.

It’s not so much trivia – I don’t do well with facts – but rather trying to gain a new appreciation for something.. make new lateral connections..
Sunday, May 29, 2016 8:17 PM

I strive for at least one significant eureka every day. More if possible. It takes constant challenging of myself. New projects, new directions. It’s not so much trivia – I don’t do well with facts – but rather trying to gain a new appreciation for something.. make new lateral connections… something where I can see a system more completely than I did before. It’s an awesome feeling when it happens, so I try to get it as much as possible. It’s a drug.

===

Three and four days ago, I was trying to understand the Youtube and Facebook 360 spherical movies. How do they do it? How can I do it without a 360 degree camera? I did a few experiments, learned as much as I could about different ways images are projected in 3D… figured out a few ways to make them myself. After four experiments, I was satisfied. https://www.facebook.com/kenneth.udut/videos/vb.22701744/829987147168/?type=2&theater

I save messy records about everything I study and work on, but they’re disorganized, raw. I _should_ do is do a one line summary after each thing. “Today I learned…” .. maybe put it in a spreadsheet, see if there is a pattern to my curiousity. Hm, maybe that’ll be my next project.

===

I have the right passion to be a teacher : in fact, one of those career tests that you pay for years ago had “middle school, special ed” as my #1 and they’re right. Special ed is both ‘talented + gifted’ and also people that school isn’t meant for. People outside of the bell curve.

but the school system itself, I don’t think I could handle without screaming.

So, while I don’t do it as a career, I transfer those skills and apply them with my contact with people online. I strive to learn something from everybody I come in contact with, leave a little something positive behind. I enjoy it.

===

I couldn’t do grades. I just couldn’t. The whole WAY it’s set up, where the carrot on the stick is the grades, is ineffective. It’s amazing we walk away learning anything at all.

===

Beautiful! Trading/hedging commodities sounds like it’s fun as heck. My experience with trading was short lived but it was a total blast.

I got a temp job at a pharmaceutical company (Schering Plough). I bluffed and said I knew Excel. I didn’t but I knew I could learn anything and it must’ve showed on my face.

It was copy paste. Boring. So, I taught myself to automate it. I asked for more and more of the project. Next thing I know, I’ve built a spaghetti-code system in Excel and VBA that generated thousands of individually customized interactive reports that were being blasted to thousands of sales reps all across the USA and they were turning a profit on it!

But I was getting bored again. . I cut my own hours down to 4. Still got all my work done. Started taking community college. [I never finished college]. They got nervous. Hired me as “Systems Analyst II” after a horse and pony show of getting resumes from people. I asked for the max I knew the title qualified for, and i got it. I wasn’t desperate – I had my eyes set to different horizons but I wasn’t going to turn it down.

Anyway, I made too much money.

So, i saved 53% of my income, and what was left out of that, I started investing in drip. This was back in 1999-2002. Learned everything I could. Discovered contrarian style investing suited me perfectly.

I started investing at the “Dow @ 30,000″ Enron time, and finished my investing period after 9/11 and the dot com crash .

I’d built up my credit enough to build a house in Florida for my mother and brother and his family to live in and got a mortgage.

Lived off the never-ending drip for 12 years as I helped my brother start an animal trapping company. Last of it ran out in 2014 but between that and built-up credit, it was enough to to build and run a small family company, that JUST makes enough to support a mortgage and bills, where I’ve been able to stay at home instead of doing 9-5.

It’s not rich $ wise, and wasn’t in my life plans… but it’s a blast.

===

We were only able to afford 1.5 yrs of college for me: hampshire college, amherst ma, back in 1990/91. At the time, having a mortgage counted as income, which killed my student loan capabilities. Anyway, was what it was.

I had “Theoretical Physics” as my #1 choice in college when we had to declare it back in 1989 Early in 1990, I’d attended a “Quantum Mechanics for the Myriad” during a pre-college orientation and that cinched it: I knew I wanted Theoretical Physics.

But, when I entered the school in the fall of ’90, the professor was on a year sabbatical. Ugh. So, I picked child psychology courses instead. Favorite course was “Mommies, monsters and superheroes”. Did other things like programming and such but i was mostly hanging out in the computer lab on this thing called “The Internet” and was hooked on it.

Still hooked on it 26 years later. I had a taste of it the year before with BBS’ and PC-Link (precursor to AOL) but between the Internet, Bitnet and Usenet, I could talk to people worldwide with NO barriers. it was beautiful.

Still is.

===

I love learning, always did. But it’s the format. It gets old. They should get creative and change it up.
Sunday, May 29, 2016 8:13 PM

What you did was completely age appropriate. Same as me with slacking off in senior year. Even while I was doing it, I knew better, but the “don’t care” was stronger than the “you really should”.

I personally think the way school is done is too much same for too long, too dragged out. 12 years straight. At least college there’s some flexibility but it’s really a long time. I think that’s the primary reason kids get sick and tired of it at some point. It’s not the learning: I love learning, always did. But it’s the format. It gets old. They should get creative and change it up.

I like some chaos and seeing if I can find the most difficult people and find the human hiding in there.
Sunday, May 29, 2016 3:35 AM

man… you know me better than I know me but you’re right. I think of myself as a positive troll: I love diverting threads. I learn a lot of new stuff that way: I’ll argue a position I disagree with. Or someone pisses me off and I’ll derail them into a side conversation where they’ll fight ME instead of other people.

I always learn something about myself, about other people, I get to watch people who are way smarter than me get into their “stupid spots”, which makes them smarter if they are smart enough to realize the opportunity I gave them… and stuff like that.

I think that’s why I like charged forums like this. Peaceful ones are too agreeable. I like some chaos and seeing if I can find the most difficult people and find the human hiding in there.

===

Don’t tell anyone. People thinking I’m an idiot gives them a lot of rope to hang themselves with. Before they know it, we’re in agreement over something and they never saw it coming.

===

Yeah, I’m not here to make ppl think like me. I just want them to be themselves, just a little less assholey for just a moment. Sometimes I have to get into hour long debates over the stupidest things just to reach the point where their defenses are down and they show they’re human. That’s all I ever want.

===

Those actually sound like fun convos. I think one thing we all three seem to have in common is a “meta view” of our participation in these things.

===

For me anarchy is like this: The neo nazi supremicist is free to think his neo nazi supremacy things all he likes, debate them, talk about them. I don’t worry about them because the Nazi regime has been dead and buried for 70 years, and if they want to engage in their fantasy-land, then so be it.

===
[Awesome!! I know that our very first interaction, didn’t go all that well… But I still got a good vibe from you, man. And after seeing how you handle yourself in here, I like you even more!! Just being honest…. A good heart, is a good heart.] JH
==

To me, it’s worth a lot. Genuine is what I look for in ppl and I expect ppl to have their defenses up, especially if they’re used to online conflict. So, it’s all good like emoticon – and yeah, what you said tonight, all of it, made my week – so thanks!

===

Never finished college. Career tests always put me as “minister/priest, coach, psychologist, professor” – but one of them really nailed me: “Middle School Special Education” as my #1. Special ed is both talented/gifted and also people who school isn’t made for… and I’m good with people who fall outside of the “bell curve” generally.So there ya go smile emoticon
===
Awesome! Sorry about the fall tho’. Yeah, workplace life wasn’t for me. As a teenager, I was custodian for my local church (7 days a week, age 13-18 ’cause they had a nursery school there). Did a little overpriced college but had to leave (no $),I worked for a carpet cleaning company for a bit, a print shop, then I did a lot of temp work. I did SEO a few years ago before Google’s shift in 2011/2012. I lost my knack after that though.
===
cool – yeah, I knew the old fashioned way: keyword stuffing but not too much, portals, postings little bits in lots of forums, massive backlinking…. long tail… ugh, yeah, I got nailed but at least it gave my website a good 7 years of profitability.I only did it for one website – my own, as supplemental income. I was my only client smile emoticon But it made a few hundred a month for quite some time because I saw something Google wasn’t doing: business listings and I was on top of that. But as Facebook and Google both improved their business listings, and support for local search, I was doomed. But I can’t complain. I enjoyed the Web 2.0 era.
===
That’s the thing: you gotta see “what’s missing” and fill it. and you can laugh – the site is horribly 90’s looking: I designed it in 2007 using a WEIRD French CMS that happened to give me all of the feed pulling capabilities I needed. It was low on server load, efficient, written in PHP so it was easy to hack to how I wanted it to behave.Man, youtube offered RSS feeds back then – it was beautiful.The main site I work on now is just for myself really: it’s wordpress – I love wordpress now. http://icopiedyou.com – I made a “google search” of my brain. I ‘ve been collecting various notes I wrote through the… decades… online and sticking it all in one place. I have a few other sites as well but yeah, I use wordpress these days for most projects.
===
Yeah, template wordpress is kinda sad looking. For me it’s all about the plugins. SOMEBODY has written something to help you with what you wanna do. I’ve tried other packages through the years, and I almost felt like a criminal going to wordpress but, well, they’re doing it right. I’ve recommended it to a number of ppl. It’s missing a few things I want to see, but eventually somebody will write a plugin for it. I would but I’m too lazy for my projects. I’ve only messed with the templates in a few places but where I’ve done so, it was really easy to work with.
===
Yeah – they really give you complete control over the look and feel of wordpress. Even a number of the plugins I use could’ve been accomplished via templates. I customized a few of them… but heck, I dont’ even have the color scheme set up right. In my case, it’s for quick and easy entry of dated material Copy paste, set date, publish. Drag drop pictures. Works with ifttt to automate twitter insertions (which I use so that my Vines end up on my site so I can find them later). It’s really flexible.And it’s ok: I don’t usually talk in private chat with ppl much but I’ll do it from time to time. This was one of those times smile emoticon
===
I’ve been on the Internet since 1989 at 17, and I hung out at my local library before that a lot. So, credit online for it. 27 years – I’d get on as much as I could. I’d bring diskettes to work and reply to people when nobody was looking while offline, get home, upload my replies. I just follow my curiousity.
===
My temp jobs were mostly data entry and some programming or whatever they needed. The position I got as systems analyst – it was weird. It started off copying and pasting in Excel. I fibbed and said I knew excel but it wasn’t a strong lie: I knew I could figure it out. So I got bored copy/paste. I learned to automate it. I took on more and more and more. Next thing I know, I’ve programmed this spaghetti code mess that they were making money off of.
– at some point, I cut my hours back to 4… started taking college courses . They decided they HAD to hire me and when they did, I asked the most because I didn’t care if I got it or not. They put out the job thing [I wrote the description] and I feel bad for the ppl who applied for it: People with degrees, far more experience than me…. and even with THAT, I didn’t care of I got it. I was ready to leave. Ended up working out well. It was cool.
=====
Yeah, same here. It was a negotiation – They wanted me more than I wanted them. I researched what was the right amt in my area for “SYSTEMS ANALYST II” [I didn’t know what that meant – they just gave it that name] – and that’s exactly what I asked for. I didn’t expect to get it. And yeah – same : the people I was supporting were data analysts who knew their way around email and Excel but only just… so I was a weird cross between IT and data analyst. The IT ppl couldn’t stand me because I didn’t speak their language. I understood it, but I didn’t speak it. The data analysts loved me because I was like a “super-charged” one of them.
====
Same here. I think we both are the kind of person who “fills a niche”. Misfits. Driven to figure out stuff. It’s definitely a personality thing. People who do programming for example: I did programming but I didn’t sit in a team and do team things. I’m not a team player: it took me a long time to realize that “team player” doesn’t fit me at all. I don’t TRY to be non-conformist. I’m just how I am.
Chat Conversation End
===
There’s opportunity everywhere you go. I think I turned down more opportunities than I’ve taken but the ones I take, I grab on and go for the ride. Even now, I shouldn’t be sitting here. I should be stressed out after a week in a 9-5 office job, sleeping filled with anxiety medication or _something_. But instead, I’m sitting on a back lanai, full screen, birds are chirping. I got a mortgage, run a business, help my bro and his family out and my mom… I got no money right now, but it’s ok. I know i could get more if I pushed.
===
What’s interesting about it is the generational thing though: My nephew’s just turned 11. His generation is being told “Never forget” and yet, they weren’t even alive then. So their memes reflect it. I can understand though: When I was young it was POW/MIA everywhere and I couldn’t understand the fuss about soldiers left in Vietnam because it was before my time.

Agreed. He does it for different reasons than we would, though… He just wants to see everyone get along. I can respect that.

They were getting tested like every three weeks on shit.
Sunday, May 29, 2016 2:51 AM

Thankfully Common Core was killed before it went too far. My nephew (5th grade) has dealt with it for 2 years now. Hopefully now that the “no child left behind” was finally removed a few months back, and Fed funding isn’t tied into test scores, Common Core will start evaporating just as fast as it came in. They were getting tested like every three weeks on shit.

===

In -theory- it sounded great. ‘let’s make educational standards’. But how will they know if it’s working? testing testing testing, statistics, statistics, ,statistics. No room for teacher creativity. No room for student innovation. Glad it’s gonna die. People aren’t numbers.

===

It proved to me: school sucks. School always sucked. School WILL always suck. There. I conjugated.

==

I’m an 80s kid (fortunate or unfortunate). My mom wanted to homeschool me but at the time she got told “homeschooling was for religious nutjobs” and they wouldn’t help her.

Things are better for kids now with the Internet schools and stuff.

===

Imagine the group is a violent river – the water is washing downstream across rocks – so fast, fish can’t even swim in there. Anybody who tries to raft down it is sure to die.

But off to the side, there’s little spaces where the water drifts in through rocks, and there’s a gentle swirl in it and you got salmon spawning.

So, yeah, we’re spawning. Sounds gross now that I’ve finished my analogy.

I’m just glad to be here on this planet at this point in history. Life might just be a lucky happenstance.
Saturday, May 28, 2016 11:05 PM

Well, I tend to think the moon is solid as is the Earth. What amazes me about the moon and Earth though is that how it’s tidally locked so that it always faces us. This unique circumstance of magnetic field, moon, Sun… it’s really amazing that life flourishes as it does. I mean, we need more than water – we need protection. Oh, and the asteroid field too.. stops baddies from getting in. The outer planets… I don’t think life is uniquely here necessarily but I’m just glad to be here on this planet at this point in history. Life might just be a lucky happenstance.

===

I can’t wait. I always feel like I’m living in the past, just waiting for the world to catch up but I’m enjoying the ride!

===

I’ve made predictions as a kid that I’ve watched come true through the years. It’s all in the realm of technology, which I always cared about more that politics. Still, we’re very far behind from where we could be. So much is possible but we get stuck on profit over progress

===

Ah nash! Brilliant dude. Just read the article – marvelous. Reminds me of some of the work done with manifolds and toruses (tori?) – but way more awesome.

I suppose what I mean is 3D -> 2D in a manner comprehensible to a species which views the world using curvilinear vision…. but Nash’s work is astounding… all of it really.

===

I like that map as well. I think what always bothered me was the day I discovered that England wasn’t “straight across” from New Jersey where I grew up. All the maps I ever saw made it look like England was straight across. I was shocked to find out just how far north it was.

That was a long time ago now, but it still bothers me that I was taught wrong.

===

Growing up in the USA, Arctic circle always = freezing cold. But while they taught us about warm sea currents and England, because the maps looked like they were at the same lattitude, the importance of the warm sea water never clicked in.

===

I used to hate the NJ stereotypes. I lived two towns away from Newark and it was a great place to grow up.

We always blamed the smells on the highways because they were on the way to NYC. Of course, they probably blamed NJ.

===

Left in 2002. Roselle Park. Used the Raritan Valley line to get to everyplace I wanted to go and I knew the bus system by heart.

===

The OP is equivalent to saying, “If the world was only populated by women, there’d be no war”, which is also BS. War is a complicated affair with no singular cause.

===

It’s not a pretty map at all. But that’s what’s interesting about it: It shows how we’ve been trained on a more or less singular view of the Earth and deviations of it cause an immediate reaction. Yet, if we were educated on the usefulness of various map projections… or better still trained from the start on globes and ditch the wall maps in schools and textbooks, we might have a better notion as to relative size and distance of things.

I was irritated the my nephew’s textbooks contained the same old map I learned, with the USA at the center and Asia cut in half. It’s such a part of culture that we become passionate about it.

Then again, maps have always been political things.

===

Oh of course. But the issues with it have been raised for at least three generations now, at least since the early 1970s with Peters and caused a ruckus… which is what he wanted.

A few adopted his map, a group of cartographers decided to reject ALL flat maps because of it… definitely stirred up something.

Yet, the textbooks carry on the same. It’s like how we continue to teach Mendel the same way, introducing errors early on that don’t get corrected when they get to DNA. But I could rant about what education does wrong for hours.

===

Post secondary, sure. But it’s the primary schools I’m thinking about. That’s when the mistakes get set and fixed. I was in my late teens in the 1980s when I discovered, on my own, that England was NOT straight across from New Jersey but much further north and that the temperature being similar is due to sea currents being warm.

It really bothered me. Even when I moved to Florida 14 years ago, when I looked to see what was laterally across, ,the old mistake I was taught young reasserted itself and I was again surprised what lay on the other continents across.

I can’t see any defensible position for it remaining ubiquitous.

===

Agreed. As far as the map in the OP goes, i think, as a basic pedagogical tool, the Galls-Peters has the best combination of simplicity and accuracy. The distortions are annoying to us, but things like relative size and relative spacing is more accurate. I don’t see schools discontinuing textbooks and wall maps anytime soon. Some groups have adopted this projection for wide use already, although when I’d see it as a kid, I’d wonder, “Why are they using this weird stretchy map?” Oh well. Like I said, I could complain about education for hours. tongue emoticon

===

True, but it’s less wrong in a number of ways which would make it a good pedagogical tool, as schools will likely continue to insist on textbooks and wall maps forevermore.

The technological revolution is always slow to hit the schools. They’re still in 19th century in most ways.

===

I know it’s not a conspiracy. I just can’t see any defensible position to continuing mercator projection.

We put the US in the center, split Asia in half. England looks like it’s straight across from New Jersey.

We went over map projections of course but the geographical mistakes introduced by the mercator projection stick for a lifetime.

===

I know why we use it. When we’re studying the USA, the mercator projection is fine, as long as the rest of the world is cut off.

Well, if nothing else, you’ve helped prove to me why the mercator will likely continue being used forevermore as the main tool for showing all of the continents.. I’m not saying this is “The Map” but there’s a good reason why a number of countries and International organizations use this map instead of the Mercator: it’s more accurate from a global perspective even if it’s less pretty.

===

UNESCO, world council of churches and the british school system use this particular map because it has more accurate relative sizing.

===

If you’re on a ship navigating, then the Mercator is certainly a better choice.

===

Hideously expensive is erroneous. Textbooks are replaced yearly due to the industry…. which is a whole other thing.

What prompted this?

Despite having access to a globe, the relative locations and sizes of the continents mapped in my head were wrong. Set young by the standard map.

How stupid in my late teens I felt to discover England wasn’t across from NJ? I traced it on a globe once, the finger didn’t go where all the school maps showed me it would.

Pissed me off.

Or even now, Americans are shocked to discover that all of these countries fit inside of the African continent.

They shouldn’t be shocked. Why are they shocked? Because they learned it wrong. We all learned it wrong.

I”m not saying “this map” is necessarily ‘the answer’. I’m saying that, like Mendel continuing to be taught before DNA, setting heritability mistakes in kids’ minds that DON’T disappear when DNA is taught… once you set a mistake in mind for ‘simplicity’ of pedagogy, you can’t easily erase it later on.

===

I hated geography. It’s not stupidity. History and geography were my least favorite subjects in school. AS an adult, I learned to love them. In school though, hated them. I was more a math/english head,

===

There ya go. For me, I’d teach things via analogies, have computer programming classes starting in Kindergarten. Teach the basics of relativistic thinking so they don’t get hung up on Einstein later on. This stuff probably would’ve bored you.

I did well in History/Geography. I got all A’s. Still hated it though.

===

Actually, I’m much the same with that. I’m not much for math. Did well in it but I was more into programming. It’s all visual in my head. I think that’s why squished maps don’t bother me.

===

Oh I see them and for a moment my gut says, “BUT THAT’S WRONG!” but when I realize the purpose behind it and envision the straight lines wrapping around a globe, fixing the relative shapes like silly putty, then it’s ok.

===

I mostly picked this map because of the ‘gut’ reaction people have to it. People get angry over it because of the shapes and the squish, even though it gets a lot of things right our everyday maps get wrong. It’s a good reminder that all maps are wrong, including our beloved ones.

===

yeah, participating in the standardized testing programs yields $ benefits for the schools. But the US school system has made us into lab rats since they started it in the mid 1800s anyway. Always experimenting on the next generations.

==

I never thought about it before now: A map of the Earth with the North Pole on top would make a great clock.

So, I make it a regular habit to annoy other people showing them different points of view whether they like it or not.
Saturday, May 28, 2016 10:06 PM

Exactly. The main point of my exercise was that it pisses me off that my education, the news we receive, etc all show a single, common, distortion of the world – and it’s annoying to me that I should “feel” that these other maps are wrong. Intellectually I know they’re right, but why do I get this, “ugh” feeling when I see a different projection?

It’s deeply ingrained and it bugs me. I’m smarter than that and yet my ‘gut’ was trained on a singular perspective.

===

Quite so. So, I make it a regular habit to annoy other people showing them different points of view whether they like it or not. I like getting those automated responses broken and I inflict it on others frequently. I like getting “woah, mind blown” but if I get someone mad at me, it’s just as well.
Oh they do a great job! But… they keep insisting on the Dark/Middle ages thing…
Saturday, May 28, 2016 9:38 PM

Oh they do a great job! But… they keep insisting on the Dark/Middle ages thing… and their view on Byzantium is all messed up. Their view of history is also the US view of world history so it’s taken a while for me to get some of the BBC errors out of my head that I grew up with. Still, they do know how to tell a good story.

==

Well, the BBC takes cavalier attitudes towards ancient history, changing facts to make for a more entertaining story. They strive for “new” and “shocking” tabloid style “This new view overturns everything we ever thought we knew” … and we get history rewrites. Scholars don’t have the voicebox of the BBC so BBC ends up winning.

Not that we’re any better in the USA. Look at Oliver Stone’s historical fictions in the movies. He’s convinced MANY people that things happened that didn’t, even though he was clear about it being fiction.

Sometimes I understand China’s stance where they’ve banned historical fiction. I don’t agree with it but I can understand the impetus.

Where will my review on socks be in the year 3216 AD? Saint Photius book reviews
Saturday, May 28, 2016 12:04 PM
The first set of book reviews in history. 9th century AD, by Saint Photius (if Eastern Orthodox) or just Photius (if Roman Catholic) – or ancient smart dude if anybody else – wrote 280 book reviews, including a lot of famous ancients, his summaries and his impressions of them.

He would’ve done great in the 21st century. He’d be all over Amazon.

One of them is lost, so it’s really 279. Imagine Amazon’s reviews lasting for 1200 years? Where will my review on socks be in the year 3216 AD?

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/photius_03bibliotheca.htm
====
I’m stoked to find this and go through it. I ALWAYS read reviews instead of the books themselves: I hate reading 300 pages when I can just read a few summaries and people’s opinions instead.

The chance to get the book reviews of greek, arabic and latin books by one of the scholarly giants of the 9th century AD? I’m beside myself.

Most of them are pretty short and to the point too. Executive summaries. Some are more detailed. I like it.

“This system works great as a model, therefore everything is exactly like the model”. It’s like mistaking a painting for the real thing.
Saturday, May 28, 2016 2:02 AM

Beta fish is a real thing. Beta male is a personality type convoluted in the 1970s by a new field called “evolutionary psychology” – made up stories to explain modern behaviors. It got popular in the 1980s.

Honestly can’t believe it’s still around.

===

I have. And don’t get me started on Pinker. ugh. I liked some of his Language Instinct – read it cover-to-cover in the mid 90s, but he was too fixed… too Chomsky for my taste.

===

and Dawkins suffers from field bias. He was trained in evolutionary biology and when he stayed within his field it was fine.

But when he started seeing EVERYTHING as evolutionary biology, he went off track. And then… he got political and all old-man fighty. Kooky old brit. Couldn’t take him seriously after that.

===

It’s a non-field to me. We’re speculating about untestable behaviors of people we have no records of in order to explain what we see around people today, neglecting far more well-studied causes. It’s too simplistic, too fantastical.

===

Oh I wasn’t talking about Chomsky’s politics: he turned into another kook like Dawkins, which is fine. I expect to become one too someday. Working on it now.

What I mean is their take on language. Language modules, computational models of the brain being mistaken for actual brain.. it’s backwards, not supported by actual people.

The finger that points to the moon isn’t the moon. Computers are based on brains. Brains are not based on computers. We can use computers as analogies for brains as a helpful tool, but when we cross over the line and ignore the biology as it exists, we engage in fantasy.

===

Granted, I do it myself. I tend toward Connectionism as a basic model. Neural networks and stuff. Chaotic systems that peak to create new systems which are visible, hiding their chaotic origins. Has its own bit of fantasy element: I take it with a grain of salt, lest I end up like Kurzweil or Wolfram. Wolfram almost had me though but they both suffer from something engineers tend towards: “This system works great as a model, therefore everything is exactly like the model”. It’s like mistaking a painting for the real thing. Easy mistake. Engineers can get cocky sometimes.

===

I’m weird like that. People come and go, especially online, but I think it’s important to remember.
Saturday, May 28, 2016 1:50 AM

I started saving compliments, specific and less-so alike, about three years ago. It’s weird; it keeps a connection in my mind to that person as time passes by.

Like if five years passes by, you change your identity in such a way that I have no way of knowing it’s you, and you say, “Remember the time I shared that Libertarian video with the flashing lights? The epilepsy?” – I’d remember you, all because I took a moment to snapshot a compliment that meant something for a moment five years prior.

I’m weird like that. People come and go, especially online, but I think it’s important to remember.

===

“Oh yeah, I remember: it’s when they had that thing called a social network. I think they called it Facebook – yeah, good times, good times. What did they call that 2D video service? IYoube? TTube? CTube? I don’t remember. Anyway, yeah I remember those times. Good thing about the bacteria though. It was about time they took over again.”

She’s a standard politician. As a standard politician, she did standard politician things.
Friday, May 27, 2016 11:58 PM

She’s a standard politician. As a standard politician, she did standard politician things. Typically, standard politicians get elected in the end because it seems most citizens like a standard politician bullshitter who knows how to work the standard political bullshit system.

Trump is H. Ross Perot with small ears. But at least he stayed independent. I voted for Perot. Twice. But Trump being lined with a party and Sanders being lined with a party both kinda ruin the independent thing for me.

===

What sucks is Clinton is gong to win. Extremists don’t win elections in the USA. It’s cute watching Trump and Sanders try though. Hopefully they’ll bring new life into the system.

Trump’s the first businessman to make waves, and Sanders is the first hippie to make waves. I’m glad: elections had been getting boring.

==

I really wanted our first female president to be someone like an Indira Ghandi or something. But she put herself in the pipeline while her hubby was there, making all the connections necessary and stuff.

===

That’s what will kill both Sanders and Trump alike: Protectionist politics are popular with the people until they realize the Walmarts and Dollar Stores will vanish.

Shame though: all my ideology says it’s a great idea, but dammit, I like my laptops at $400 not $4000. *sigh*.

===

For some things, yeah, but i think she’ll trash Obamacare and start over. It was an unpopular system and new presidents like to make their mark. Since she had her own Healthcare proposals 20 years ago, she’ll change that system to get popularity points with the people.

===

Well I don’t believe anything a politician says and she’s a politician through and through. Even if it’s not Obamacare, there will be something significant she’ll change from the prior administration:

Look at Bush Sr: Everybody thought they’d get Reagan 2.0. But he was different.

===

Globalism needs to pull back a *little* bit – the TPP went WAY too far, especially with their copyright protections for corporations… but fact is, white ppl don’t want to pick tomatoes, robots aren’t ready we like our Walmarts and Dollar stores and we don’t want to spent $3000 cash for a made in the USA cellphone.

===

Pisses me off too because ALL my idealism points to Protectionism being the way to go. It’s painful for me to admit I like being cheap.

===

Yeah, I think between free trade and the UN (yes, I believe in the UN for all of its flaws), both are powerful tools for world peace. What people don’t realize is that world peace is an awkward state of affairs. It’s not the least bit relaxing. But it’s functional.

===

Yeah, I’m fine with that as well. As long as there’s some coalitions. 193 recognized countries would be too chaotic if they were ALL truly independent of one another

===

It’s weird cause I’m a “social anarchist” at heart and yet, I’m fine with cooperation on larger scales.

I guess it fits together in a way: I don’t want a “one world government” because that’ll just never happen.

But some form of “awkward peace”, strange bedfellows, trade agreements, human rights agreements, etc where there’s SOME cooperation but lots of autonomy otherwise for each of the countries.. .does seem to fit in a social anarchist mindset I suppose.

===

Thing is, though, I don’t think it matters if he wins the nomination or not. He captured a mindset of a lot of people: a very unexpected hippie mindset with a force never seen before in an election cycle.

I didn’t “feel the bern” but I watched from afar with envy for those that do.

There’s a good chance I’ll write him in if he doesn’t go independent.

===

Honestly, I’d like to see a Trump/Sanders combo. At least I hope that debate happens on June 6th. That might end up pulling a few surprises.

===

Just imagine how they could balance each other out.

===

I couldn’t put the democratic cloak on for an election cycle. I was tempted but selfishly I don’t want to start getting phone calls, emails, and all sorts of democratic crap in the mail.

[====

Cool, they must’ve improved. I dunno – there’s a lot of stuff about the democratic party I like, yet at the same time, there’s things that the republican party is correct about…. and of course things they’re both wrong about, usually covered somewhat by the libertarians. So, I dunno.

Taking Russell’s stance of “the having is the knowing: Having conscious experience is knowing what it is.” is interesting: it puts introspection at the forefront in a way, which is a nice change of pace from the usual “we know everything but that which introspection provides”. At least, that’s my short take on it.
I find “how humans classify reality” to be fascinating.
Friday, May 27, 2016 10:34 PM
I occasionally get obsessed with ontologies, thesauri, hierarchical classifications of general –> specific knowledge. Ok, it’s a lifelong obsession since I was a kid, fascinated by the Dewey Decimal System… I mean, *how* do you classify knowledge in hierarchies? [trees of interdependent, cross referenced structures that are called webs instead of trees can also be thought of as multidimensional trees with some fascinating properties, such as growing back towards the trunk and intersecting with it… such is where analogies start to take on alien form].

Anyway, my DDC curiosity reasserted itself again, leading me to find some fascinating resources. The Bartoc . org [Basel Register of Thesauri, Ontologies & Classifications] lists 2384 significant ones, which led me to the PLOS thesaurus at:

http://www.vocabularyserver.com/plos/index.php

Being PLOS, it’s related to Science of course, but what a marvelous job they did of presenting a hierarchical view.

There’s not many groups I can share this with but this one I can. I find “how humans classify reality” to be fascinating.
====
How fascinating. On and off I’ve been researching top-down hierarchical classification schemes, focusing on Dewey, mostly because the copyright automatically winnows down my possible research avenues. In short, the amount of usage online of it is underwhelming.

I had to spend a lot of time in Internet Archive because it was in the mid-late 1990s – pre-Google (more specifically: pre-2002) that you would find attempts to classify the web in a Dewey way.

So, I went through archives of attempts to classify the web from the past. And… it looked very very strange indeed.

Then I thought about search. Google. Letting someone else categorize our searches. But, suddenly it hit me:

Somewhere along the line, searching has become less and less. We _wait_ for the content we want to show up _for_ us. Facebook guesses quite well what we might want: it’s delivered.

I’m on other online services that do much the same: Our preferences are saved, calculated, and what we like is filtered for us.

So, nothing new and yet… it’s strange: I can go to a library and go straight for what I want. I can be nearly blindfolded, not know WHAT I want, and end up walking straight to something interesting. I know the system well enough.

Yet, when is the last time I’ve been on someone’s homepage? Or somewhere _not_ Wikipedia, Facebook or the dozen other sites I frequent?

Where’s the rest of everything?

Of course it’s there. Of course I’m saying “we” when I mean “me”.

I don’t have a closing for this. Just a strange realization, looking at sites from the mid 1990s, archives on the Internet archive… that we’ve progressed three or so levels beyond visible ontologies.

I’m not sure what this feeling is: it’s not nostalgia… but perhaps it’s that there’s a lack of an “everything” overview, rendering us more or less limited to either what we’re shown on Facebook,, what pops up on Google, or what links out of Wikipedia. Beyond that, all of this unlimited knowldge access tends to focus on a few trusted sites and not much else.

I remember the smaller web. I remember pre-web: Gopher is what the web piggybacked on…. and now, even the web is partially dead, outside of big players, with apps and social networking being king.

Strange. This has little to do with this group… I’m just tired after a night of research.. but I needed to share.

Still, I hardly notice them. It’s a mixed community and people leave each other alone. But still, there’s a definite difference between north and south.

Well, to be more precise, he was lacking southern white power. He had northern white power.

==
I should say white privilege than white power though smile emoticon

I’m from the north – from New Jersey. I live in the south now, which makes me some kind of bi.

Anyway, I carried my northexuality down with me and so, when Obama became president, I hardly noticed. He had all the white privilege without being white. I barely noticed him in 8 years because to me, he was just like any other white president. In short, he had northern white privilege.

But the south saw it differently. Him being president was a VERY big deal to people here.

Heck, the local ELEMENTARY school has a small white power segment. My … was into it for a while. The KKK meets a block away from here – one of their dragons.

Still, I hardly notice them. It’s a mixed community and people leave each other alone. But still, there’s a definite difference between north and south.

===

I think his point is changing the attitudes of people. If the attitudes of young people today change, when they get into positions of political power, then they can enact those changes.

He’s looking for Legacy, not Presidency. And, he’s succeeding.

===

We’ve had rich people try to buy their way into the Presidency. Trump has been the most wildly successful of that.

I don’t think we’ve ever had an agnostic jewish man from NY with messy hair, an old-school NY Jewish accent get THIS FAR.

Of course Clinton running was no surprise: she’s been transparent about her goal for years.

All in all, three very strange choices. It’s been a most interesting election cycle so far.

===

Of course it doesn’t. That’s his point. It _could_.

That being said, I find Trump and Sanders’ protectionist stance to be too extreme and unrealistic. Clinton’s the most politician like of the bunch. Has the best shot in the end.

===

Friday, May 27, 2016 9:39 AM

I’ll summarize:
We’re can’t be made of numbers because numbers aren’t fundamental.
We know this because, vectors.
This is why consciousness is special and can’t fully be calculated.
Kurzweiill is wrong.
We have free will.
You are not a computer.

That is the gist of it. I loved watching him get excited about it. His enthusiasm was great to watch!

===

I, too, don’t understand everything I see either. i love being overwhelmed with people talking way above my head: it gives me something to reach for and try to figure out.

Like the guy in this video was over my head and yet, I could get the gist of what he was saying. Then I could pretend I understood all of it (like I did below tongue emoticon ) – when really, I just got the ‘gist’ of it myself grin emoticon

Friday, May 27, 2016 1:24 AM

Two of them actually looked like elves… and like twins. Cute couple. Both very short, very long, very blond hair. They each did a tarot card reading on me.

I saw them mentioned a decade later in that stupid Alumni thing they send out to milk money from Alumn, and they’d ended up getting married. They also had slightly pointed ears, so yeah, they were definitely a mirror couple. Never saw a guy and girl look and act so much alike.

===

Oh, these people believed fully they were elves. Not so different to me. One of them was named Rykandar Korrati. The name stuck with me for decades because it was so mysterious. We’d correspond now and again on email but lost touch for a long time. Never knew the gender, just that this person was on the West Coast somewhere and an elf.

A few months back, I wondered “whatever happened”, found out it’s a she, goes by the name of Dara now, and is the stuff of legend in those circles. http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/R%27ykandar_Korra%27ti – so to each their own. I think it’s great.

As far as the otherkin, if they have a supportive community and they’re not causing issues to people outside of their circles, I don’t see the harm in it.

===

But, see, I’ve been raised on the ‘net. 17 yrs old onwards. Now I’m 44. 27 years. So, this kind of stuff like otherkin, transgenders and whatnot is normal to me. The internet always attracted the oddballs back in the early days [including me], so the population of uniqueness was over-represented. AOL brought in more common people. [they called it “Eternal September” back in ’93 – referring to the fact that there will always be ‘new people’ getting on, just like September in school… The Imminent Death of the ‘net” was a common topic on Usenet].

So, my perspective isn’t typical. Abnormality is the net norm, from political beliefs to hobbies, to one’s presentation of self.

So, transgenders makng their way to the whitehouse to become a politically simple decision to declare their rights, doesn’t surprise me. The backlash surprises me, but federal support didn’t surprise me. With one easy move, a lot of people get a sense that ‘this administration cares’ even if they’re not transgendered.

It _could’ve_ been a low-impact thing, but the backlash should’ve been predictable, and probably was.

===

It’s a good thing you’re not in a position of power then. I’d prefer the trains stay in the museums as 70 yr old relics of a an old time long passed and dead.

===

True, but the squeaky wheel goes both ways. What’s the difference between an angry SJW and the “growing number of extremely angry people”?

Honestly, I don’t see any difference. Both sides are complaining.

===

Things are what they are. So, gender has changed meaning. So, there’s bathroom changes. So what? You roll with it and move on.

===

To my ears, a video about manspreading and a video about “those damn liberals” sound exactly the same.

===

People who WEREN’T being oppressed speaking on behalf of people who didn’t asked to be spoken for.
Friday, May 27, 2016 12:30 AM

I remember the birth of politically correct, at least the university one. It started in the US military as a way to be respectful towards people by calling them by their preferred designations. They’d been trained to do it, at least in some circles for decades.

In 1988, Mt Holyoke (or Smith, I forgot now) issued a guideline for politically correct writing. They based it on the US military model and elaborated on it. They distributed it.

I went to Hampshire College, also in Amherst, MA, in 1990. These were guidelines. We had all the familiar things of today: safe spaces, tolerant speech etc. To me it made sense as _civility_.

I didn’t mind it.

Yet, even then, I could see a problem. It’s one thing if you choose to be respectful of others. It’s a good thing. You can even demand respect if you like. But there was also a patronizing air among some: People who WEREN’T being oppressed speaking on behalf of people who didn’t asked to be spoken for.

It was tolerable but annoying.

Flash forward 25 years, and well, the original purpose *is* still in place in government facilities and political speeches (except Trump) and most newspaper etiquette guidelines, but it seems the original purpose was lost everywhere else.

Son is 8. Has to go pee. Mom can’t go with him. Too old to go in the ladies room.
Thursday, May 26, 2016 10:53 PM

It’s a good setup. The problem it solves to me is the parent/kid problem:

Son is 8. Has to go pee. Mom can’t go with him. Too old to go in the ladies room.

She’s stuck pacing outside the men’s room, or bringing him into the ladies room. The women there don’t usually care, but he might be mortified.

==

Statistics change Society has changed. The definition of gender HAS changed.

You go to the bathroom to shit, piss and wash your hands. Why do you want to be a soldier in a toilet fighting to keep status quo over a toilet?

==

I understand the point you’re trying to make here, but fighting over a toilet is ridiculous.

===

Ppl are fighting to keep status quo over a toilet. So what if the legislation changed? It’s a toilet.

==

==

I’ve gone in places that just had a horse trough. Didn’t bother me. But some men are sensitive and want privacy. Also note:

It’s a brewry where they make beer. More men drink beer. More men will be pissing. So it’s logical in that situation.

===

True. I’m sure if we searched around, SOMEBODY has calculated the most efficient ratio of urinals to toilets in a given bathroom situation, based upon average speed of use and such.

==

I’m also a wildly pro-trans liberal. I think its a great solution for everybody. I notice there’s a common sink area where the camera is. There’s no logical reason for men and women to require separate sink areas, but I suppose they can have a row on either side or something for the shy ones.

===

Yup. Just get it over with. I had unisex bathrooms at my college 26 years ago. I thought it’d be commonplace by now.

===

Well, that’s the great thing about it being a unisex bathroom: There will ALWAYS be _someone_ voluntarily keeping an eye on things to make sure there’s no hanky panky.

===

I can image Church Ladies Bathroom Brigade on a mission to crusade every public bathroom to keep the riff-raff from riff-raffing.

===

They don’t. The design of the bathroom facilities dictates where you go. You still sit down to shit, men usually stand to piss. We stand at a sink and wash our hands.

You’re making it into a bigger issue than necessary.

If legislation has changed it’s changed. It’d be different if it was still in discussions.

===

That’d be true if they were private bathroom facilities.

But in the USA, bathroom facilities in stores are public facilities and subject to the state.

===

It’s public schools. It’s BEEN a social engineering experiment for the past 140 years or so.

===

Point is, the public school system is _precisely_ the place Fed + States do their social engineering testing. So, this is a new experiment. In the 80s, I dealt with the “I’m OK/You’re OK” experiment. Today’s kids are dealing with the “Grit” experiment. All experiments.

===

You want to generalize BEYOND the issue at hand to some other direction.

But what if we stick with the issue at hand and see what other benefits are possible? I find that far more productive.

==

A simple search for “Do I let my son in the men’s room”? shows an awful lot of issues about this among mothers.

They’re not 0.00something% of the population. What I like about the solution as shown in the OP is it solves that problem as well, which to me is a bigger issue.

It might be a strange path to get there, but it’s logical.

===

Well, if you’ll notice (probably because it was used as a rallying point for the Cruz campaign to fight against): it *is* serving a function now: Just look at the backlash.

===

And, if nobody had a problem, it would’ve been symbolic. A lot of laws are on the books “just in case”.

Anti-sodomy laws still exist on the books not because being gay is illegal, but they function as a way to increase charges against an offender during rape and molestation cases. So, serves a function.

==

The intention is symbolic. It would’ve quietly passed and nobody would’ve known about it had it not been an election year.

It would give a little extra suing power for a small group of people in very rare cases.

But, now it’s blown up into an issue because people made a big deal of it.

Now that people have made a big deal of it, now it’ll be serving various functions, usually as something for people to get all Social Justice “There’s Only Two Genders” about.

The SJW’s in this case is the right, not the left.

===

In short, the crybabies are not the liberal left in this case. No plumbing changes required if the right weren’t crying over the Obama directive.

I Just saw that 11 states were suing over it. What were they suing over? It’s ridiculous. It’s a non-issue.

==

Ah! A simple, ingenious solution.
