We aren't going to vote our way out of this

The current political situation here in the USA is very simple.

1. Our opponents on the Left mean to exterminate us and our culture.
2. Our opponents use "legal" means through the current corrupt government bureaucracy (that they created and control) to accomplish #1.
3. We will never be able to win another election once the Democrats get a few million more immigrants into our country using #2.
4. The Republicans work hand in hand with the Democrats to accomplish #3.
5. There is no voting our way out of this.
6. This ends in the utter destruction of our culture and our lives.  (How do I know this?  Our enemies tell us that every day of the week.)
7. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

When I say there will be a civil war, tens of millions will die, and more will be displaced, that is not an aspiration. It is a prediction. And it is the best case scenario for the long term health of our nation. 

We are expendable, as long as our culture and our children survive and thrive.  Demography is destiny.  The future belongs to those who show up.

How to understand calculus in an hour

I just ran across this simple explanation by Miles Mathis of what calculus really is.  It is quite simple, even if the author is a bit long winded and self congratulatory.  Check it out.

Here's a TL;DR extract of the important bit.  Please note that everything is a length, not just a point or a number.

------------------------

1            Δz           1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9….
2           Δ2z            2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18….
3            Δz²           1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 64, 81
4            Δz³           1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343
5            Δz⁴            1, 16, 81, 256, 625, 1296
6            Δz⁵            1, 32, 243, 1024, 3125, 7776, 16807
7            ΔΔz           1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
8            ΔΔ2z            2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
9            ΔΔz²           1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19
10            ΔΔz³            1, 7, 19, 37, 61, 91, 127
11            ΔΔz⁴            1, 15, 65, 175, 369, 671
12            ΔΔz⁵            1, 31, 211, 781, 2101, 4651, 9031
13            ΔΔΔz            0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
14            ΔΔΔz²            2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
15            ΔΔΔz³            6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42
16            ΔΔΔz⁴            14, 50, 110, 194, 302
17            ΔΔΔz⁵           30, 180, 570, 1320, 2550, 4380
18            ΔΔΔΔz³            6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
19            ΔΔΔΔz⁴            36, 60, 84, 108
20            ΔΔΔΔz⁵            150, 390, 750, 1230, 1830
21            ΔΔΔΔΔz⁴           24, 24, 24, 24
22            ΔΔΔΔΔz⁵           240, 360, 480, 600
23            ΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁵            120, 120, 120
      from this, one can predict that
24            ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁶           720, 720, 720
     And so on.

Again, this is what you call simple number analysis. It is a table of differentials. The first line is a list of the potential integer lengths of an object, and a length is a differential. It is also a list of the integers, as I said. After that it is easy to follow my method. It is easy until you get to line 24, where I say, “One can predict that. . . .” Do you see how I came to that conclusion? I did it by pulling out the lines where the differential became constant.
7      ΔΔz       1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
14       ΔΔΔz²      2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
18       ΔΔΔΔz³      6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
21       ΔΔΔΔΔz⁴       24, 24, 24, 24
23       ΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁵       120, 120, 120
24       ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁶       720, 720, 720

Do you see it now?
2ΔΔz = ΔΔΔz²
3ΔΔΔz² = ΔΔΔΔz³
4ΔΔΔΔz³ = ΔΔΔΔΔz⁴
5ΔΔΔΔΔz⁴ = ΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁵
6ΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁵ = ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔz⁶

All these equations are equivalent to the magic equation, y’ = nx^n-1. In any of those equations, all we have to do is let x equal the right side and y’ equal the left side. No matter what exponents we use, the equation will always resolve into our magic equation.

No need for extra dimensions, just complex math

There is no need for the extra dimensions postulated in string theory physics.  Of course, string theory was proven to be a dead end more than a decade ago, but that hasn't stopped thousands of mathematicians from playing with the pretty formulae.

All we need are the regular old three dimension plus time.  But we need to start using mathematics the right way.  That means complex numbers.  No physical theory uses complex numbers in a serious way.  Oh, several formulae use complex numbers, especially in electronics, to indicate rotation.  It's great at that.  They just don't use it as the baseline.  All our physics is based on real numbers, because that is our ordinary experience.  We can't actually imagine a ball moving in a complex direction, because we've never seen what that might look like.

And then along came the weak force.  It can't be explained, it can barely be described.  It is not well understood, because it breaks so many expectation we have about fundamental forces.

And then along came neutrinos.  They can't be explained, they can barely be described.  They are not well understood, because they break so many expectations we have about fundamental particles.

We need to seriously start thinking about complex math being the fundamental math that the universe operates under.

I hereby designate the positive direction in the imaginary plane "Heaven", and the negative direction "Hell".  Here there be monsters, demons, and angels.  And truth.

Sushi as an inflation proxy?

Is the price of sushi really a reliable inflation/CPI proxy?  Some people certainly think so.  If it's not 100% accurate, it seems to be more reliable than any of the known-fraudulent government models.

After all, who are you going to believe about inflation rates, the government or your lying bank account?  (Please note that the prices of almost everything doubled during the Obama administration, while the government kept announcing record low inflation levels.)

Michael Mann still hiding the decline

In recent news, Michael Mann, the Bernie Madoff of climate fraud, has lost his 8+ year libel suit against a real climate scientist.  Why did he lose?  Because he refused to obey the court order to turn over his data and deobfuscate his models. 

In other words, he committed contempt of court to avoid showing that the data is faked and the models are crooked.

Information-Entropy field to replace dark matter theory?

OK, this actually requires some pondering.  Information-entropy fields adding energy to galaxies, causing them to rotate more quickly than the observable mass would indicate?  That's bringing old ideas out, and polishing them up.  Who needs dark matter when entropy works just as well?

Glo-bull Warning

Whenever you hear someone ranting on about "climate change" (formerly global warming, formerly global cooling), just remember:

The ground temperature data is falsified.
The satellite temperature data is currently being falsified.
The ice cores are lied about.
The tree rings were from one side of one tree.
The models are bupkis.
The data is hidden.
The sources are deleted.
The code is obfuscated.
Simple questions and contrary opinions are shouted down.
Questioners are labeled as heretics and threatened with death.

There is no science in their "science".  It's political religion all the way down.  
Marx is a jealous god.
