BTW... (true story)

 

Currently...

Private jet timeshares for the embarrassed "millionaire".

In other news, Cabaret Voltaire release first new album in decades, but the AI that actually made it has them confused with Chemical Brothers...

Also, 60K dead since voting started, so yes indeed dead people voted.

Religion is a dangerous mental illness, and the greatest threat to the survival of the human race.

I absolutely am FAR superior, and will freely discriminate, just not the way you like.

...and ACAB.

These are the times, this is the way.

 “In the plethora of reports and brochures that discuss ways of tackling stress, few discuss the palliative power of the organizational group.

“There are many reasons for this. The most basic is simply that much of the previous research in the field has been informed by clinical models that tend to be highly individualistic (Folkman & Moskowitz, 2004). A somewhat darker reason, however, may be that the paymasters of researchers in this area [organizational psychology] are reluctant to explore and expose the capacity for organizational subgroups to allow their members to combat stress through collective endeavor (Haslam, 2004). For if groups allow employees not only to cope with stressors in the workplace (e.g., high demands, low control, lack of support) but also to challenge and remove them (e.g., through collective action), then it is clear that they can do much more than simply enhance well-being and reduce stress – they can also produce organizational change (Tajfel & Turner, 1979).”“In the plethora of reports and brochures that discuss ways of tackling stress, few discuss the palliative power of the organizational group.

 Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons,

It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

Here a great personal deed has room,

(Such a deed seizes upon the hearts of the whole race of men,

Its effusion of strength and will overwhelms law and mocks all authority and all argument against it.)

Here is the test of wisdom,

Wisdom is not finally tested in schools,

Wisdom cannot be pass’d from one having it to another not having it,

Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof,

Applies to all stages and objects and qualities and is content,

Is the certainty of the reality and immortality of things, and the excellence of things;

Something there is in the float of the sight of things that provokes it out of the soul.

Now I re-examine philosophies and religions,

They may prove well in lecture-rooms, yet not prove at all under the spacious clouds and along the landscape and flowing currents.

Here is realization,

Here is a man tallied — he realizes here what he has in him,

The past, the future, majesty, love — if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
