Radical Decentralization Pt III
[VENT]
Dembski: "The minority is indignant because the unwashed masses (of which I’m a card-carrying member) are seen – through their greed, inattention, or waste – to be significantly contributing to the problem."
Ah, excuse me Dr. Dr., but you are not one of the great unwashed, you are the pampered son of a college professor. You spent nearly twenty years of your life "studying" in some of the worlds most elite and expensive universities. Since leaving the Ivory Tower, you've been cosseted by a series of right-wing benefactors. The one time you tried to actually earn your living, you wound up teaching in a Bible camp.
You are a card carrying member of the elite, Billy Boy. You are not quite a member of the one percent, but you were born into the top five or ten percent and remain there. Your hands are not calloused, they're soft as a courtier's because that's essentially what you are. You make your living saying what the monied boys want to hear.
And now, after a decade spent making a complete fool of yourself pretending to be a scientist, you, a conservative Christian, are starting a new column in the "Washington Times". That's the newspaper founded by and paid for (to the tune of 1.7 billion dollars so far) by the Reverand Sun Myung Moon, a man who claims to actually BE Jesus Christ. I'm sure you've rationalized that.
You're off to a grand start. You've left the field you're at least somewhat, nominally, kinda, if you'd paid attention and actually understood what you were "studying", trained in and you're giving us the benefit of your piercing intellect on politics, sociology and economics.
You've diagnosed our nation's problems as being caused by nameless minorities who bypass the will of the people and use the power of government to impose their desires on the nation without ever mentioning the massive campaign bribes that have corrupted both parties, the billions of dollars spent on lobbyists, the foundations and societies dedicated to greasing the skids for those in power or the wealthy minority who pay for it all. Possibly because they don't want to hear anything about that and they also pay you.
And now you show some of the classical symptoms of a man about to hook a motor up to a generator and plug the generator into the motor:
"The first thing I will focus on is money. Money is a social technology, but its current technological sophistication is still in the dark ages, despite the fact that computers rather than abacuses now count it. I’m going to propose a radically decentralized, information-based form of money that owes nothing to the state. Stay tuned."
We will and we're expecting you to do your usual job of indignant self-immolation. |
