I believe that people want rent seeking to proceed because it creates a continuous demand for superfluous work. Rent seeking, as the foundation of every modern economy, regardless of politics, is needed, is demanded, by society to create guaranteed existential threat, therefore giving meaning to the collective unconscious. My evidence?  People actually think they own their job in the world of mass migration for starters. But it goes much deeper. The advent of AI. When I promote AI as a fantastic labour saving device and how it will mean in the extreme case they will have a job which pays higher than before for less work, I get at best a blank stare or at worst the usual kind of ideologically driven child who cannot have his sweeties resistance. For this astonishing AI development let's take an extreme case to make the point easier to see. In this AI driven economy all this person does is go to work each day, to press a green button to start production and goes back again before tea...

Sat, 21 Jun 2025, 3:42 am (UK, summer time) This is the point in time in the UK for this years solstice.  Def: The summer solstice occurs when Earth reaches the point in its orbit where the North Pole is angled closest to the Sun. The meaning of the term solstice is to 'stand still'. In old times prior to scientific instrument it was hard to measure the tiny drift north of the suns position compared to the background sky in the last few days as it approached its most northerly position for the year - it appeared to 'stand still'.  There's only a few seconds more daylight and a few seconds less night time on the days before and after a solstice. Think about a tangent as it brushes a curve. Do not go to Stone Henge. Do not spend a whole day worshipping at a party with new age goons from the 60's who's peers, now largely in Power around the world, are destroying it without being aware of what they are doing. Get up early, find a high point looking North East an...

Need any more be said about the pathway of a white man in the west today. The irony is without bounds. And who will know? When the narrative of the whole world is projecting racism, sexism and homophobia, onto white men and is unconscious of it's action.  Projection is a psychic problem, so cannot be attended to with politics, science or reason.  Send me to prison, what have you achieved? You are still projecting yourself and are not aware of it. Make laws. Create a new image of the world with science. What of it? The perps are not even aware, that they do not know that they do not know, that they are projecting inner demons, onto white men.  Yes, religion can deal with it. But we have killed God. And with what shall we wash our hands of all the blood? Is it yet another curious arm of Power, of the  patriarchy? That's a stretch for the imagination. Yet it is the norm.  The mistake is that in the end, there are male and female, black and white, pro creative and n...

It's not the immigrants to start with. Do not blame the immigrants. They are humans the same as you and I. They are 'the people' too. But now, the old gangsters from the troubles in the 70's are having their lunch eaten by the immigrants, who have their own tacit 'government' as all gangs do. But why are both these factions forming their own 'government'?  Because for 30 years, the legalised state which the people select as a whole, has been destroying the immigrants' and the natives' opportunities to find work and start a small business. Taxation is effectively 'attacking' its own people. Those on the margins, which are the low skilled workers of these two factions, go under quickly when they hit even small problems thanks to the stupidity of the state and its taxation.  What's more, the state for some peculiar reason is refusing to give its people a motive for mass immigration while standing in the way of the immigrants starting wor...

And it could be a free man. Why is it so hard?
