Do not fear

Nothing is without risk

AI

AI is not for the masses. Its for the IQed. The true IQed. Paired with laziness. Because only the true IQed find use in AI. An IQed human will never waste time on wastefull issues. Therefore the IQed will use AI for the wastefull things. In contrast, the non IQed has not the ability to seperate or detect wastefull things.

Freedom does not come insured.
Freedom comes with risk.

Freedom applies unconditionally. Freedom is a rare good. Freedom must be fought for without interruption. Democracy means freedom.

When man feels free, laughs and is not afraid, there is no religion.

All truth passes through three stages.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

You must work to survive in this world. The state forcibly levies taxes on your labour income. If you do not pay taxes, you end up in prison. Taxes are money collected under threat of violence

There is only ONE truth

+

It MUST be spoken

A clarion call is a strong and emotional appeal to people to do something

When nobody or not many are alarmed, then it is time to be alarmed

Fear catches you in waves. The biggest mistake is responding in panic

Nothing makes us more cowardly and unscrupulous than the desire to be loved by everyone

Patriotism

is for people who have nothing to show except the random win in the birth lottery.

National pride

is the brake block on all progress.

Political subversion

is an activity carried out in secret whose aim is the overthrow or weakening of an existing political order through infiltration and undermining.

The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you are not careful it is too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.

Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain

Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I am not yet entirely sure about the universe.

Speak reason to a fool and he calls you foolish

Dunning-Kruger

Result of Dunning and Kruger's observations: self-assessed performance (blue) and actual performance (red) of the test subjects.

If you are incompetent, you cannot know that you are incompetent. The skills you need to give a correct answer are exactly the skills you need to recognise what a correct answer is.

Finding the Missing Bullet Holes

MARCH 13, 2019 · by Rafia Hasan

During World War II, the Navy realized it was losing a lot of aircraft and could better armor its planes to increase their survival. After analyzing where its planes had suffered the most damage, it determined that it needed to reinforce the planes’ wingtips, central body and elevators.

But a statistician named Abraham Wald argued otherwise. He thought the Navy should reinforce the armor of the planes’ nose, engines and mid-body. But why would he suggest that when the planes were taking more damage to the wingtips, central body and elevators? Because in reality, they weren’t. The planes getting shot in the nose area, engines and mid-body were being destroyed from the damage and weren’t making it back to be analyzed.

The Navy thought it had discovered where its planes were suffering the most damage. Instead, it had discovered where its planes could take damage without being destroyed. It wasn’t looking at the whole sample set.

Nationalist Campaigns

N.C. deliberately exploit the psychology of people who feel poor + powerless. In research, nationalism is often seen as a protective reaction to social inequality. It gives a sense of importance and pride to those with little or no economic success. An exclusionary identity creates the illusion of ethnic superiority. One feels above someone else, which papers over one's own powerlessness in everyday life. Politically, this is used to distract from complex problems. That is why populist parties concentrate, among other places, on rural and poor electoral districts where people feel left behind. There, cultural identity and status often count for more than concrete political content.

OverTourism

O.T. is weaponized as a Nationalist Agenda.

There is no overtourism.

Overtourism is the direct result of spot prices on location.

Accommodation, food, drinks, easy short-term rentals, budget packages, and other affordable on-site expenses. No crisis, no overload.

If too many visit your easy-to-replace paradise: raise the prices.

Leave the nationalism agenda out of it.
