No it doesn’t. English is as algorithmic as math. If there is a formula x = x^1 + y you wouldn’t say ; no good it implies z is also the same. You would not because it says nothing about z.

No. You have to ask yourself why it hasn’t been used in this capacity more, and why so many billions are spent on pursuing crushing the arts and crafts into oblivion. Given the published and (and currently expressing) philosophies of the pr

I think that’s why they are licking their chops looking at Canada, Greenland, and Mexico. Growth at all costs. Just like a startup. Just like Rome.

Hmm, no you misunderstand. Scotland was consumed by monied interests from across the water long ago. Now there’s just scattered populations, many of us dispossessed of our ancestral homes and not all by choice. The past doesn’t vanish becau

They say as much. They’ve never seen it before, and it’s measurable. So this means they can study it for the first time. It literally is a mystery lol.

This is a projection of your inner state onto the word and not the word itself. It truly is a mystery. Like most things.

Why is that? What do you fear so much? Let me let you into something: There will always be something to fear, and the more you go trying to squash every little bug the more something else will find you. You can’t escape your fear of pain an

That is not a reasonable comparison is it. Junk hyperbole doesn't make a strong point. What are you trying to say? This insidious stuff is worthwhile? Bitcoin mining in PDFs is important stuff?

Is this an attempt to imply the Scots had imperial ambitions and have not been fighting to keep their homes free of invasion for several thousand years? Fuck this sounds familiar right now

They are paid, handsomely, by it. Or otherwise brainwashed by it. And pummelled into ignorance by it, as they are told that to understand is stupid or delusional, knowledge ends at STEM, and the world only exists for efficient production of

I wonder if they really want that, or if that is what is being actively peddled as the new and better way and they’re just ignorantly buying it up.

Read books not blogs. Start with the classics and poetry and feel it out. Then seek further analysis. Linguistics will help you there and its a huge subject of study but one of the best direct analytical tools in your belt.

Wisdom doesn’t need to grow, it is eternal. It needs to be learned and accessed. Key to understanding is to work to understand rather than redefine these concepts in the light of the same modernity that gave us domineering technological pro

This is why tech bros should read well beyond tech and don’t stop at Machiavelli like most do. The first dragon wasn’t the bad guy, but natural order. The new dragon now intends to usurp natural order. Technology can still help us, but it c

Genomes didn’t reveal this. It was already known by various knowledgeable figures on the ancient culture of the isles and more recently established through poetic critique by Robert Graves (among others). These theories were largely rejecte
