  • The Varieties of Reason in Another Attempt at Discourse

    “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”  Saul Alinsky in ‘Rules for Radicals’ George Rebane In the effort to reflect here ‘observations and interpretations of events from the last great century of man’, illuminating the ideas and attitudes of our polarized population is part and parcel of RR posts.  Here we do…

  • Ruminations – 26sep19 (updated 28sep19)

    George Rebane 'If you nominate Loony Liz, you won't get any money from us.', say heavy Dem donors to the DNC. Dem Rep Schiff's characterization of the Ukraine telecon transcript is historically one of the most audacious stream of lies fabricated out of whole cloth and bearing no relationship to what was in the released…

  • Toward the Singularity via super-intelligence

    George Rebane Knowing my relationship with Dr Judea Pearl, fellow blogger Russ Steele sent me a link to a recent interview (here) on AI with Judea.  Longtime RR readers recall pieces citing my friend, colleague, and mentor Judea Pearl as the inventor of Bayes and causal nets, and one of the true pioneers of AI…

  • Sandbox – 25sep19

    [Anybody have any thoughts about a workable public policy that would sufficiently shield  PG&E so that it doesn't have to conduct its CYA power outages?  gjr]

  • Scattershots – 23sep19 (updated 24sep19)

    George Rebane George Boardman again flies his true colors with his Union column ‘Trump’s great economy?  Depends on where you are on the food chain’.  He hits all the Democratic Party talking points, and even elevates the top 20% of Americans into the ‘enemy of the people’ class.  Why?  Because they’re getting the largest dollar…

  • Where Are They Indeed?

    George Rebane There are about 2,500 galaxies (not stars) in the picture below – each of even the smallest dots is a galaxy.  Each such galaxy has about 300 billion stars, and each star has at least five planets.  Today we can see over 2,000,000,000,000 = 2 trillion such galaxies.  Fainter galaxies exist but don’t…

  • Dropout Derby – 21sep19 update

    George Rebane I guess DeBlasio’s dropout now means that the poor citizens of NYC will have to put up with more of his great urban administrative skills.  Oh well.  With his departure our Estonian Fox and Mr fish have leaped into the lead.  

  • Scattershots – 20sep19 (updated 21sep19)

    George Rebane The Daily Signal of the Heritage Foundation discovers ‘The Real Reason for Trump Derangement Syndrome’.  RR readers have been discussing and debating the real reasons for the Left’s virulent TDS ever since the 2016 election.  Yes indeed, with foot firmly planted in mouth, our president is still our champion in the “multifront pushback—politically,…

  • Agenda21 to SDGs to Agenda 2030

    George Rebane RR has covered the Agenda21 story extensively over the years primarily in its role as a template for leftwing objectives that their politicians’ public policies seek to fulfill.  (see 'Agenda 21' category) This non-binding UN initiative was formalized in 1992 and signed by over 100 nations.  The US (under Bush1) became a signatory. …

  • The happier place, America or Europe? (updated 25sep19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 18 September 2019.  An edited version was printed (here) in the 21sep19 edition of The Union.] Our national Left has loudly included in their narrative to fundamentally transform America, that the Europeans are a much happier lot than we poor polarized…
