Posted on July 11, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, This one thing should make you sober,Human heartedness is close to over,Here is a retort,Nothing is as short,As compassion for the seventh of October. A lackadaisical attitude will leave it up to fate,As time passes the foolish just … Continue reading →

Argument From Authority

Posted on May 6, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, as long as our bureaucrats wield the fallacy of appeal to authority, they can continue as criminals. Their authority protects them from consequences, just as bureaucracy’s distributed blame protects it and them from accountability. … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Central planning ain’t it grand,They do have us well in hand,Despotic harmony,Perpetual enmity,As long as we don’t make a stand. The government threatens everything we hold dear,Lying to us in ways pernicious evocative and clear,But it’s a double … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a monetary system broken,Blistering economic fires it was a stoken,Profound hedonism,Extraction mechanism,In which truth and ethics are merely a token. Monstrous deeds needs an institution,Yet always have utopia as a resolution,A spurious drink,Here’s what I … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Our philosopher kings are brilliant and wise,Their genius is apparent in their own eyes,How could we disagree,The unaccountable see,Utopia depends on their manipulations and lies.

The Problem of Asynchronous Power

Posted on August 29, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, asynchronous power is the source of all injustice. Because injustice cannot exist when power is equal. Some see the problem of asynchronous power and believe the solution is to use it to punish, instead … Continue reading →

The Real Danger Of AI

Posted on June 1, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the real danger isn’t artificial intelligence, AI… it’s artificial authority. Authority masked by an “impartial” AI would be a tyranny that would be as inescapable as it would be despotic. Couple AI’s ability to … Continue reading →

The Press Lies

Posted on April 8, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, those who have been caught in lie after lie, probably shouldn’t be believed, while those who have been caught in truth after truth, probably should be believed. Sadly, that’s not human nature. We’re far … Continue reading →
