After giving us your views on politics you’ve moved swiftly on to epistemology. You’re spoiling us, Ambassador!

I thought appeals to authority were all the rage? People love an 'expert'

He’s also a direct descendant of Aristotle. Just another reason he must be right!

I believe the theory of techno-feudalism comes from a left leaning Greek professor of economics and ex minister of finance.

chuffing / Re: The demonisation of bold trad

Looking through old chuffing threads (as routes are superior to bouldering 😉) I came across this gem. Some fantastic posts by Dave - hope you’re well Dave!

It made me think of a piece I’m writing on climbing and the left hand path. I’m currently making a mental list of all things to reject whenever possible. The first thing on my list is the Clip-Stick.

I think that was the inflection point, when the clip stick became ubiquitous. Of course I’d advice everyone to use clip sticks and helmets and all that stuff all of the time. But from now on I’m completely rejecting clip sticks.

Buy some popcorn and watch the show.

Ever since I watched a few clips from “Masters of the Air” the algorithm is feeding me nothing but WW2 clips. I’m just a sheeple trapped by techno-feudalism!

Steady diet of Guardian and MSM ain't going to reveal what's going on.  Try some independent media Novara Media, Owen Jones, Double Down News..

Owen Jones has a column in the Grauniad…

…..and he’s a turd

Apart from the evidence that she ‘liked’ some tweets which were considered inappropriate and this was leveraged to get rid of her.

It’s how the current regime of ‘liberal democracy’ works. They’re like a bunch of teenage girls who’ve just been given smart phones. It’s the feminised use of power - one minute they’re besties and the next they’re gone. Non of them can answer a question honestly and they all mix lies with the truth. It’s like this scene from the exorcist -

Sometimes, I feel you can, almost, see reality from where you’re standing.

Then you write something like that.

You are obviously comprehensively read ( I almost wrote “well’, but couldn’t).

You are passionate, but seem defeated. Don’t give up, give us the solution (I think we all grasp the judgement). What’s your answer? What would get us out of the hole you feel we’re in?

Of course that’s slightly mocking (gentle though, right? And, you’re fond of a “mocking” yourself) but I am genuinely interested.

A good question to which I have no good answer, only generalised predictions. It depends if you take a progressive view or cyclical view. I’d go with the cyclical view. Buy some popcorn and watch the show.
