Much of today’s media is moving so far and fast to the left that light from the center is red shifted. By that standard, they might actually see her as a centrist. Rational people don’t see her that way.
Oh, that’s kind of a minor reason to be annoyed by the press. I hate them for covering the death of an ex-con for months to incite people to violence and then ignoring the death of little boy killed because of the division they sowed. That’s just evil.
Then again, that’s pretty minor to smearing HCQ as an useless drug simply because Trump said it showed promise. Thousands have died because they were convinced by the media that the FDA approved drug would hurt them.
Hmmph. One point that I’ve been trying to get across: Knowledge doesn’t really live in books, nor can it be effectively preserved there. Knowledge mostly lives in people’s heads, and is mostly passed down through apprenticeship. If you want to save the knowledge, you need to develop and keep the people.
NASA is doing backstrokes in old archival copies of engineering drawings and test reports (all organized by tornado), but the engineers and scientists that did all that are gone, as are the companies that they worked for.
Not sure how useful vast libraries are without the scientific/mechanical culture that generated them and are perhaps the only ones equipped to really read them.
PS: I’m all for keeping backups/libraries.
A bunch of rent-seeking copyright-barbarians are aiding the book-burners in taking out the Internet Archive because they dared distribute books that are only 100 years old instead of 120. One more Alexandria biting the dust.
We have the ability to store vast quantities of information on hard drives these days. We need some sort of sneakernet viral pirate library with everything, distributed among many people.
Centralized libraries are created by cultures that value knowledge, and destroyed when those cultures bite the dust. Decentralized hard drives full of books can be kept by individual people who value knowledge. even in the midst of dark ages.
Edit: Somehow these comments ended up on the wrong post. Sorry. They go to the “existential threat” post. COVID makes a pretty laughable existential threat.
There was a study done mapping the social media connections of reporters and they lined up with Antifa style Democrats. So, anyone for the incremental dissolution of capitalism rather than revolution is a moderate.
