The Morning Rant

How weird is it that the more we know, the less we know? We see this pop up in various forms, for example the saying that if you have a clock, you know what time it is, but if you have two clocks, you don't know what time it is. More information does not necessarily equal more knowledge. Have you ever experienced some odd medical symptoms and went to the internet to research what your problem might be, and you discover all sorts of information, some of it maybe even contradictory? So, what do you do. Like having two clocks, how do you know which one is right? Or maybe they're both wrong? How do you know?

When that happens, the tendency is to just pick out the facts you happen to like, and find some reason to discard any conflicting data that turns up? This is something I've caught myself doing, it's something every human being is prone to and any results you might get aren't necessarily knowledge at all, but just things you prefer to believe, for whatever reason I mean, some of it might be true, but it's not guaranteed.

Perhaps we can learn from the Roman Catholic Church. You Catholic morons are encouraged to step up and correct what I'm about to say, but my understanding of the process by which candidates for sainthood are examined, evidence scrutinized, there is a person involved in the process whose job it is come up with reasons why the candidate should *not* be canonized. He tries to debunk evidence put forward by the "pro" side as well as, I suppose, digging up dirt on the guy. Although it is recognized that 100% lifetime sinlessness is not a requirement for sainthood, I'm not sure how this would work, how much dirt would have to be dug up. Anyway, this nay-sayer is called, either formally or informally, the "devil's advocate." If you've ever heard this phrase, this is where it comes from.

I'm not Catholic, but I've always admired the intellectual rigor they've baked into the canonization procedures. It's not all one big rush to a positive judgment. It is an implicit recognition of the human frailty of believing only what we want to believe.

In an age wherein we are awash in information, perhaps we could use some of that rigor.

Seriously, how much crap does CNN or Fox News, or MSNBC put out simply because somebody either wants to believe it? Or wants you to believe it. What if CNN hired a guy whose only job ws to debunk their crap? And they had to fight to get something on the air, rather than "oh, we have a source that says Donald Trump performs satanic rituals with scantily clad interns in the Oval Office every other Thursday? Great, let's lead with it next hour!"

Which is something a bit different. My original point was how we should evaluate a deluge of information, but stuff from the MSM has the additional of being misinformation or deliberate misinformation.

Especially when you have "journalists" who think it is not the burden of proof is not on them to demonstrate the authenticity of their material. Look at CBS producer Mary Mapes defending, in an interview, the Rathergate mal-reporting that cost her her job:

BRIAN ROSS: But isn't it the other way around? Don't you have to prove they're authentic?

MARY MAPES: Well, I think that's what critics of the story would say. I know more now than I did then, and I think, I think they have not been proved to be false yet.

BRIAN ROSS: Have they proved to be authentic though? Isn't that really what journalists do?

MARY MAPES: No, I don't think that's the standard.

(interview here: Mary Mapes, CBS News Producer, Speaks Out)

Ross concludes the interview with this comment:

In the statement, CBS says Mary Mapes' disregard for journalistic standards and for her colleagues comes through loud and clear in this interview and her book which CBS says tries to rewrite history. CBS says the idea that a news organization would not need to authenticate such important source material is, quote, "just one of the troubling erroneous statements in her account."

This Brian Ross interview was published in 2006. That is a lifetime ago. I wonder if they would say this now, after 4 years of bad reporting in order to bring down the Bad Orange Man?

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.

Prayer Requests:
10/7 – Lee Also requests prayers for her good friend who needs a lung transplant. He’s been on the list for a while, but it’s getting to the point where he needs it sooner than later. She also would like prayers for the family of the person whose untimely death will give life to her friend. They have lost someone they love. But their generosity will help her friend.
11/18 Update – Her friend has moved closer to the hospital, which means he’s up higher on the list. He’s getting rehab in preparation for the transplant, so keep praying for him, please. And prayers also for the family who lost a loved on and allowed their loved one’s organs to give new life to people like her friend.
10/28 – redc1c4 said Resident 3vil lost her job a week ago. She’s been hoping to retire in the near future, and this puts a hold on those plans. Prayers are requested for gainful employment soon so she can finally retire and enjoy the fruits of her years of hard work.
11/17 Update – She got a new job last Friday. The downside is it’s 290 miles away. The upside may allow for a transition to partial retirement as a consultant. Prayers of thanks for a possible way forward!
11/10 - Doof requests prayers for Donna&&&&&V, who is depressed to the point of being suicidal.
11/11 – Central Scrutinizer requests prayers for his buddy Don, who was just admitted to the hospital with Covid. He is 74 years old, and his wife is freaking out.
11/16 – Adriane the Critic requests prayers for her friend “D”. He is fighting a very aggressive brain cancer and the doctors’ prognosis is horrifically short. Prayers are also requested for his exhausted wife and young children, and strength for his sister and family, who are doing a great deal of travel to try and be with him in the little visits they are allowed.
11/17 – redc1c4 has an aunt, Anisa, with bone cancer, and she wants him to be her patient advocate. Redc1c4 asks for prayers for strength and healing for her, and insight for her doctors, and safe travels for him, as she lives at the bottom of California, and over 100 miles from the treatment facility.
11/18 – OurCountryisScrewed asks for prayers for his mom, who passed away very early in the morning of Nov. 11. Please pray for the repose of her soul. Also, a prayer for his father and siblings as they adjust to the loss of the heart and soul of their family. He’d also like a prayer of thanksgiving for the nursing staff at a certain upstate NY hospital who were absolutely fantastic caring for all of them.
12/2 – Sgt. Mom is asking for prayers for her daughter and unborn grandson, Jamie. The Daughter Unit is 40, this is her first pregnancy, and because of her age, this is considered a high-risk pregnancy, with an elevated chance of Downs’ Syndrome for Jamie. They had an ultrasound this week and an amniocentesis is scheduled for the week of Christmas. The Daughter Unit will carry on with the pregnancy regardless – but prayers for a healthy, normal child are humbly requested.
12/2 – Tonypete asks for prayers for a wonderful gal that fell and whacked her head. There were pretty severe injuries initially, but she seems well on the way to recovery. Please pray for continued healing and getting back to her normal.
12/2 – Tonypete requests prayers of thanksgiving for Joyce. Her breast cancer was treated successfully with radiation only and chemo was not needed. No further signs are present, thank God.

For Healing:
9/23 – Dr_No requests continued prayers for his daughter Megan. She had surgery for cancer earlier, and now has had the 2nd of 12 FOLFOX chemo treatments for her Stage III-C cancer. It’s been rough – fatigue, weight loss, cold sensitivity, jaw pain. She’s losing an average of 6.5 pounds per week now and has lost approximately 25 pounds since her surgery and beginning chemo. Her attitude is terrific despite what she’s going through, but it’ll be a rough slog between now and January.
10/8 Update – Megan was admitted to the hospital for bi-lateral pulmonary embolisms. Luckily, the embolisms responded to treatment. Dr_No says thanks again for sending words up for Megan!
11/18 Update – Megan has had the 6th of 12 chemo treatments. She is still having the symptoms above and reactions to the FOLFOX series. Her mom bought her a pair of Neuropathy gloves, and those seem to help reduce the pain and tingling in her hands. She is still losing 3-5 pounds per week. Dr_No thanks the Horde for the prayers for her.
10/24 – Kerncon requests prayers for his wife. His wife is currently in the ICU following a massive kidney infection, which resulted in the removal of one of them. She is currently stable and slowly recovering. They hope to be able to get her out of ICU in the next few days. Her remaining kidney hasn’t resumed functioning, and it could take weeks to recover, if at all. Please keep them in your prayers for a swift recovery, and for regaining full function to her remaining kidney.
11/24 Update – Kerncon says his wife will be leaving inpatient care on Sunday, and her remaining kidney function is near normal. Please keep praying for healing and strength as they transition from hospital/rehab to home care. She especially needs healing for her right foot now, as there is some muscle damage which could lead to a big quality of life impact if it doesn’t return.
11/16 – Hrothgar received a very recent and completely unexpected diagnosis of a non-trivial (and rather rare) cancer. He is in the very initial phase of surgery, tests, diagnoses, and evaluation of treatment options, so at this stage, he knows just enough to be concerned, but right now has no idea how this will roll out. He would greatly appreciate prayers from the Horde for skilled doctors/staff and recovery if that is in God’s plan.
11/18 – Agamemnon requests prayers for a colleague who has Wuhan19 and is hospitalized on oxygen. The staff is having trouble controlling her fever and she has some co-morbidities that exacerbate her condition.
11/25 Update – Agamemnon reports that his colleague is now home, and though she is still on O2, she is able to ambulate, take solids, and liquids, and is feeling much better. Thanks to all for their prayers!
11/29 – Pennsyltucky asks for prayers for complete healing from Covid.
11/30 – IronMikeGolf has had a hard time with Covid and was in the hospital. Prayers are needed for healing.
11/30 – AnnaPuma had a heart attack and a stent was put in. Prayers are requested for complete healing, and that the Veterans paperwork would go through smoothly.
11/30 – mpfs was having an 8-hour infusion to help with her MS. Prayers are asked for, that the symptoms would be much lessened.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com.

+++++++++++
I can't speak to the Catholic pieces of this, OM, but what you've just described is a key principle in the scientific method (you know, that thing that sniveling little statists pretend to follow but don't). The whole basis is to *disprove* assertions. You make a hypothesis. You test it. You publish your results - *all* of your results - and see if it holds up to reproduction and criticism by others who are actors trained to poke holes in it. You repeat for a long time. Then, if it holds up, it might be true - not guaranteed to be true, just increasingly likely to be true.

Some state functions do this to - like how in Israel if there is full agreement on something to do with intelligence or war, someone *must* take the other side and aggressively research and defend the position (be the Devil's Advocate) to make sure they aren't all just hoodwinking each-other.

This concept - essentially, of assuming you're wrong and trying to tear down your own concept - is central to many things that are linked - almost suspiciously so, eh - to progress...

59 "How weird is it that the more we know, the less we know?"

Yes, it's pretty much impossible to know what's true anymore. Unless it's something that you can run your own personal controlled repeatable experiment on, you can't fully trust it.

Everybody has their own set of partially-dubious "facts" and premises, further confounded by the ubiquitous fog of deceit and ignorance. Truth is now defined as "What I Want To Believe."

Posted by: Deep State 910 at December 09, 2020 11:26 AM (DnZbI)

63 >>>whose job it is come up with reasons why the candidate should *not* be canonized.

Well the digging up dirt still happens but it is no longer the sole responsibility of one person. As far as what would be considered a bar to sainthood?

If someone kept secret a serious (read that as mortal) sin that they never confessed or repented of, it would be a no go. If they had a tendency to frequently openly flaunt venial sin (such as Chesterton's famous lack of temperance) that could also be a problem toward canonization. No you don't have to be perfect but 1. You should be working in that direction actively, and 2. Not harbor mortal sin.

The media is setting a terrible precedent. They are alleging it is harmful to share anything that might sew doubt into the integrity of the election.

But who decides what is harmful? Which elections may not be doubted? Is there a standard of uniformity to the decisions (can a liberal share a video alleging Russia aided Trump in 2016, or can someone post a documentary about the election of 1824)?

Is YouTube a publisher or a platform?

They will say it's the latter but their actions are that of a publisher.

78 On canonization (Catholic here)...The canonization process does not evaluate anything that occurred during a saint's life. It's only about the miracles attributed to their intercession. Meaning, Catholics don't pray to saints, we ask for their intercession, like we would ask for you to pray for us if we were sick, in financial need, etc...So, the individual who seeks to disprove the cause of canonization is to take a hard look at whether there was an actual miracle, whether it could be attributed to the saint's intercession - essentially, is there reason to believe this person is in heaven with the Father. (Remember, we Catholics believe many of us will make a stop in purgatory, the foyer of heaven, as we become holy enough to enter into the presence of the Lord.)

Why doesn't the saint's life matter? Because there is always the possibility that someone, even the holiest person, may reject God at that final moment. So, canonization only looks at the activity of those alive in the Lord after death.
Hope this helps.

83 I'm not Catholic, but I've always admired the intellectual rigor they've baked into the canonization procedures. It's not all one big rush to a positive judgment. It is an implicit recognition of the human frailty of believing only what we want to believe.

I understand that becoming a saint in the Baptist religion just requires that you win a fiddle-playing contest against the Devil.

Due to being martyrs.

Which... eh? That's a real stretch there, folks. And how does being a martyr give you a free pass? I realize it's possible to rag on the Czar in ways that aren't really fair, he seems to have been a "nice" guy, but he oversaw a terrible, oppressive regime. Seems to me that's got to factor into such things.

But this is Russia, so.....

96 "Have you ever experienced some odd medical symptoms and went to the internet to research what your problem might be, and you discover all sorts of information, some of it maybe even contradictory?"

Yes, so I don't do that anymore.

I *do* do something similar regularly when diagnosing car problems. Sometimes with similar results. Modern VWs are a bit difficult to diagnose, especially because VW is tight-lipped about basic maintenance information (there is no fuse chart in the owner's manual, fer Chrissake), and something not quite right can be catastrophic. Had a problem with using oil in the 1.8T engine, and everyone said it's *probably* this inexpensive PCV part, but it *could* be the turbocharger, and that is a cast-iron bitch to replace and is expensive too boot. In order to determine that, I needed more information, but only the information I needed. I checked the running fuel trims and it indicated a lean condition - suggesting a vacuum leak. I pulled the tubes off the intake and exhaust of the turbo to see if there was oil there, there wasn't. There was oil in the intake tube going to the turbo after the tube that connected the PCV "oil separator". It ended up being the easy part, but OMG it was a PITA to diagnose with incomplete information.

For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.

135 My original point was how we should evaluate a deluge of information, but stuff from the MSM has the additional of being misinformation or deliberate misinformation.

__________

For me, it's all about the credibility of the source. Over time, I can determine generally (1) is the source sincerely engaged in uncovering and presenting the truth, and (2) do their claims eventually prove true.

I'd lived long enough to know by my mid-20s that every Leftist and most politicians for example have zero credibility, after being subjected to a lifetime (several lifetimes if you study history) of lies by all of them, so I simply don't listen to them anymore.

They've known that for months and still keep doing it. We've known for months that vitamin D helps prevent the disease and makes for a lighter case if you do get it. Doctors still aren't recommending it.

They now tell you that you just have immunity for three months after getting it. Then there's no point to a vaccine. And it's also not true. They know that T cells can fight this, even if you've never had it. We cannot trust a damn thing that doctors tell us any more.

Yesterday I saw pictures of people waving as their relatives were sent off to to "reeducation camps". We have tolerated genocide of Christians and Jews in Africa and the Middle East. We are watching the Chinese imprison Uighers and use them for slave labor. We are allowing Taiwanese dissidents to be arrested and doing nothing.
Now we are watching are freedoms be eroded by politicians who care nothing for truth as long as the lies serve their purpose. If this election was truth, they would be doing everything in their power to make it transparentso we would know it is real.Instead of transparency we are told not to believe our lying eyes and are spoon fed only what they want us to hear.

Good topic/post, OM.

My view is that isn't just narrowly journalism or politics, but everything - national security, economics, science, academia, the arts and popular culture, even many mainline churches and synagogues.

Every institution in our society is packed to the rafters with shameless liars, and absolutely nothing you hear, see or read can be properly trusted.

It's a sort of forced epistemic collapse, where the Gramscians have managed to create their coveted reality-as-perception by destroying the notion of truth itself.

Or, as I like to put it - the truth has been locked in a Schrodinger's Box of lies, inside a hall of mirrors.

209 "Even assuming she was a saint in this world, Michael Milken wins hands down."

Even assuming Milken spent a lot of his fortune doing good (and assuming Mother Teresa was all saint) ... I have questions about the structure of the stock market, and the leverage, and the debt instruments. They led us down a path where most of working America funneled local profits into globalist/corporate institutions.

The richest sucked up that money and gained control while they sucked profits out of local economies. We now see an end result coming, of bailouts for billionaires, and a government propping up markets with trillions of fake money.

This has indeed made a big economy, but it has enabled central control, and maybe a coming Reset that really looks like communism. Central global control by oligarchs ... and then we see the censorship and harassment of Wrong Think.

Ralph Waldo spoke of the evils of "charity". The Clinton Foundation and all the others may be the death of U.S. (and infinite leverage with government bailouts is not made pure with a few acts of "chairty" ... Milken maybe was more pure than Romney and others, idk).

247 Haven't looked at Jonah Goldbrick's twitter in a long time but today he links to his LA Times article, in which he claims the GOP will no longer be Trumpist if Trump is defeated.

The mind-numbing and willful stupidity is hard to appreciate, unless you actually read this garbage, but (to save you the painful brain ache) I would summarize this way: Goldberg has somehow convinced himself that Trump is a megalomaniac upon whose charismatic style a large group of formerly rational people have gone full Jonestown.

Jonah and presumably his fellow-traveling idiots simply have things completely backwards, and he does not realize Trump is a product of an organic political movement. The Never-Trumpers do not realize the movement came before Trump, and he represents us.

other human beings and treat them the way that they did? How could
millions of people be systematically put to death and no one rise up and
say this is wrong?
Yesterday I saw pictures of people waving as
their relatives were sent off to to "reeducation camps". We have
tolerated genocide of Christians and Jews in Africa and the Middle East.
We are watching the Chinese imprison Uighers and use them for slave
labor. We are allowing Taiwanese dissidents to be arrested and doing
nothing.
Now we are watching are freedoms be eroded by politicians
who care nothing for truth as long as the lies serve their purpose. If
this election was truth, they would be doing everything in their power
to make it transparentso we would know it is real.Instead of
transparency we are told not to believe our lying eyes and are spoon fed
only what they want us to hear.

It could be any of a number of things. It's important to the meat if the deer goes down and dies quickly. Then it is important to get it gutted and cooled and processed as fast as possible. It also depends on where the deer is from and what it's diet is like. If it is eating acorns and pine bark and whatever, it will taste like acorns and pine bark to some extent. If it is from the midwest and eating corn, soybeans and barley, it will taste not unlike lean beef. I have a friend from Florida who says the worst venison she has ever had was from the Florida panhandle, because of all the palms they eat.

"Whoever" not "whomever". Here's a nifty little trick: "who" = "he" and "whom" = him. Then substitute for "whomever it was": "He first likened" or "Him first likened"? Who is for subjects (of a clause, not the entire sentence) and whom is for objects (again, the clause in which it appears, not the entire sentence).

The wife of an acquaintance of my wife got Covid 19 last March. She works for a major airline, and has been tested every month for T-cell Covid 19 antibodies.

She still has them.

One of the greatest problems of this "pandemic" are the CONSTANT lies and disinformation that is being put out by supposedly reputable sources (Fauci, spit).
The Chinese put out all kinds of disinformation at the beginning of the year.

HCQ and Zinc Sulfate works, in the early stages of the virus
BioQuercetin and Zinc Sulfate can also work, in the early stages of the virus

Yesterday, there was a Doctor testifying to the Senate about numerous studies that show that Ivermectin works, and works very well as a prophylactic against Covid 19.
He was BEGGING the NIH to review their studies that that show its effectiveness. I rate this very unlikely to happen, because that would ruin the whole narrative about the virus and EVERYBODY has to take that damn mRNA vaccine.

To a certain extent, Goldberg is right. The GOP will, in fact, drag along a certain subset of Trump voters who simply cannot countenance abandoning their shit Party.

Now, of course, this will never again be a sufficient number of voters to wield political power, even absent the massive fraud.

It was a survival device that Jews relied on after repeated pogroms and Jew massacres in the middle ages. Lay low, don't cause trouble, don't draw attention. But in this case, it just made them easy victims.

Good topic/post, OM.

My view is that isn't just narrowly journalism or politics, but everything - national security, economics, science, academia, the arts and popular culture, even many mainline churches and synagogues.

Every institution in our society is packed to the rafters with shameless liars, and absolutely nothing you hear, see or read can be properly trusted.

It's a sort of forced epistemic collapse, where the Gramscians have managed to create their coveted reality-as-perception by destroying the notion of truth itself.

Or, as I like to put it - the truth has been locked in a Schrodinger's Box of lies, inside a hall of mirrors.

Also maybe too far along in the course and since its investigational, maybe they have to give it under a protocol so that it doesn't go to people who are too far gone.

I dunno.

In general if you get so far along that you already have developed ARDS you are looking at a coin flip. Acute Respiratory distress syndrome - the membrane in your lungs breaks down and the fluids leak in. Any kind of infection that gets to sepsis can turn into ARDS. Usually you get treated before it gets that bad and you are okay. IF it gets to ARDS and you have to be put on a respiratory your mortality rate jumped up significantly - from whatever the cause of the infection was - once you damage that membrane in your lungs were oxygen exchange takes place you are in big trouble.

It's becoming a standard scientific/engineering tool. No kid knows Fortran coming out of college now. For a while they all knew matlab. But python is starting to be more standard. And the python scientific packages are getting pretty good. Mathworks is trying to compete but their current licensing structure isn't going to allow that. And more commercial analysis/engineering tools are becoming very friendly with python.

Posted by: clutch carg

Those kangaroos last night looked like some serious Island of Dr. Moreau shit! Way too uncanny and intelligent looking. To think I used to think goats looked evil. Kangaroos just took the top spot. For evil-looking animals, that is.

For humans its a close race between DiBlasio in that old picture of him and Billy Jeff, and the infamous evil picture of Peter Strozk. Both look like the devil. Very LaVey-like visages.

But yeah, kangaroos kinda do too.

not prescribing at least HCQ and/or other know helpful and cheap drugs (doctor would know the rare reasons not to for his patient) ... is murderous. It is like they want to make the money by letting the disease to proceed so they get the fed money via hospitalization. Plus the get political points for the sickness and/or death.

Banning HCQ almost certainly killed many ... it was purely political ... many doctors gave it anyway, but would not talk about because of the threats. these people are evil.

And even Twatter has a little disclaimer on the Axios article. Must be nice to be the protected class. Twatter is lit with Chinese connection stories now, another video surfaced of the CCP professor talking about his deep state connections, and why Trump is so hated.

Funny how the Chinese have a better finger on the pulse of reality here than do our fellow citizens.

398 "Can't prove a negative" is as important as "devil's advocate." (Also cool to know where that phrase came from.)

With Mapes, the truth is that something can be proven *true*. It can't be proven *not true.*

If I've been replaced by an alien reptile person it can't be proven *not true*. Maybe the replacement is just that good, right? But it could be proven true by revealing the alien reptile person.

In any case, every single last media outlet and organization would be better off, and most businesses as well, if they hired people for the purpose of being devil's advocates. Not necessarily politically diverse people who are supposed to just magically lend another point of view, but people who's jobs are *specifically* to argue the opposite of everything anyone comes up with. Maybe used to be the editor demanding that all the reporters show their work. But someone needs to do that.

Awesome. Progs should be encouraged often to turn on their .01 percenters. I'd like Zuckerberg and the goolag to be the top 2, but Bezos is funding lots of mis-info with his Amazon profits, Wash Post probably prints lots of articles encouraging blue state dopes to extend and tighten lockdowns.

Same here. Not much real truth being expressed anymore. Even people on this blog that say their loved-ones are in the hospital with the Wuflu. I'd almost put money on a bet that says that it's something else that's causing the problems.

423 What gets me is that when you look up a disease and check off the symptoms then look up a different disease AND IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS!!!!!

Seems that all disease has the same symptoms pretty much. Maybe only one or two unique ones and those usually take testing to find.

I know one symptom they say a lot is unexplained loss of weight. Now me, I'd be delighted if I lost some weight. Of course it could mean the big C but at least I'd go out in a standard size coffin instead of an extra large.
