The gender gap is widening.

Women 58 - 36 percent support Biden, up from December when it was 53 - 41 percent.

Men 53 - 42 percent support Trump, largely unchanged from December when it was 51 - 41 percent.

Очередной ковидосрач. Все потому, что люди не подозревают, что существует тест на глисты. Если тест отрицательный, то лекарство от глистов не помогает от ковида.

Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

--- Exodus 20:12.


The LORD told Jack and Mark to ban Trump from social media because he violated the LORD's commandments.

I'd never thought that I'd see conversations between bewildered fanatics in the US this close. Throughout Trump presidency I felt that calling these people трамповатa was a bit rude; that they were just confused, mostly harmless middle-aged men who happen to be mentally stuck in the Soviet/anti-soviet dichotomy of their youth. Maybe it made them feel younger and more at home with their life skills. But guess what? They are true трамповата. They live in the US, but mentally they are working remotely from the USSR, a country and society that exist only in their memories. Bergson was right. Wow.

Теперь у нас появилась возможность посылать трамповату не только нах, но и в Parler. Это будет удивительный естественный эксперимент массового эффекта Данинга-Крюгера. Оттуда должны выйти совершенно удивительные конспирологические монстры-мутанты, которые будут круче духа Уго Чавеса, укравшего у Трампа американские выборы.

Wikileaks no longer works, so Trump is trying to use a US tabloid to launder another crapload of political "kompromat." Nice try, losers. I wonder if they planned to release the story right before the second presidential debate and derail any discussion of substantive issues. Well, there's no debate and a lot of people are already voting. Also, neither major social network wants a piece of these Giuliani conspiracy theories. They had enough of that.

I wonder whether Trump will be banned on Twitter and Facebook after he gets kicked out of the White House on Jan 20, 2021. Right now, their only excuse for allowing him to violate their rules is "public interest." Once he's no longer the president, his malicious bullshit is no better than that of, e.g. Alex Jones'.

Еще понял одну из причин, почему определенные взрослые люди без чувства юмора постоянно придумывают и делятся с окружающими собственными несмешными шутками. Тут получается по Дарвину: естественная склонность человека к юмору не отбирается в среде общения. В такой среде можно шутить, как угодно (никак, плохо, хорошо), но у шуток нет обратной связи, поэтому они, например, у мужчин, застревают на уровне туповатого "армейского" или "студенческого" юмора.

“The internet was a collective howl, an outlet for everyone to prove that they mattered. The full spectrum of human emotion infused social platforms. Grief, joy, anxiety, mundanity flowed. People were saying nothing, and saying it all the time. Strangers swapped confidences with other strangers in return for unaccredited psychological advice. ”

If I adopt a Heideggerian view on technology, Facebook and LinkedIn would be the most dehumanizing developments in human history, after slavery.

I've long suspected that Crazy and Stupid perceptions of the Other (applies to historical times, mindsets, etc.) form an intrinsically connected pair. In Category Theory they can be modeled as adjoints with specific meanings; that is, Stupid would be Forgetful, while Crazy would be Free.
