Limericks

Posted on April 30, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, Our legalist system is quite perverse,The laws seem to work in reverse,But we’re the jerks,Here’s how it works,It consumes trust to produce its inverse. The elites have been struck by Cupid,With ideas and hubris that are ill suited,To … Continue reading →

Limericks

Dear Friends, There once was a faction of fraud,Who smelled of two week old cod,No lie was too deep,No oath would they keep,And hide corruption wink and nod. There once was a medical system with trust,They squandered it for politics … Continue reading →

The Wages Of Ethics

Posted on April 26, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, it’s stupid to treat someone without ethics like someone who has them. Such action is the same as giving payment which the recipient hasn’t earned. It’s like a business paying someone to destroy their … Continue reading →

Rules Based Order

Posted on March 27, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a “rules-based order” would have everyone follow the same rules. That ours has a clear double standard, whistleblowers are vilified, and law enforcement serves power instead of justice… suggests ours isn’t a rules-based order, … Continue reading →

Posted on March 25, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, there is an Ironic Cycle of Civilization. In one sentence… it is that societal trust builds prosperity, and prosperity erodes trust, that lack of trust then ushers in poverty. If people come together in … Continue reading →

Legislating Morality

Posted on March 20, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, Pareto’s elitists claim you can’t legislate morality… then set themselves to doing just that. Laws today are rapidly replacing morality. This is done by thousands of bureaucrats working diligently at their cubicles legislating the … Continue reading →

Discerning the Role of Trust

Posted on March 18, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, history is unambiguous, every moralist society has evolved into a legalist one, and then collapsed. This appears to be a natural law like the Pareto Distribution. Moreover, that collapse appears to be semi-permanent. The … Continue reading →

On Trusting The Untrustworthy

Posted on October 24, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in personal as well as international relations, it’s best not to sign agreements you know the other side won’t live up to. If you’re selling someone a car on credit, and they clearly have … Continue reading →

Civil War In Europe

Posted on October 10, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the disarmed people of the UK are being systematically abused, and once the abuse triggers them, the disaster will pull us into another world war. The governments in Europe have taken the side of … 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 →
