Very clean, unlike most webpages these days which resemble the chaotic, incoherent, jumbled mind of an overstuffed psychedelic LSD trip.
There's still one thing Google still gets right.
If more people understood science and engineering, there would be more people not saying “compelling case”, instead rather 100% convinced that the official story is a lie.
True. It would help too if there were a more flexible approach to teaching science (I can't comment on engineering) subjects, at least in my experience - long ago, admittedly. Some kids get it straight away, others need to come at it from another angle. Myself, I learn best by deconstructing; backwards in a sense - being mostly an autodidact (for instance, I had to work out stuff like reciprocity failure for my pre-digital photography, long-exposure colour work. Gorgeous Kodachrome!). We could probably benefit from a modern-day Trivium of grammar, logic and rhetoric introduced into schools, so kids are actually taught how to think and present rational arguments before they embark on higher education. But of course they would then be less likely to be passive recipients of propaganda.
I think many people red-pilled that September day. Even without the science to back it up, it was plain - if your eyes and mind were open - that so many factors just didn't add up. Our instincts and senses told us as much. I dug into it afterwards, but you hit a point where you run out of ability to distinguish good "facts" from bad, and just plain nutty conspiracy theories. Non-scientists ultimately are pushed towards trusting experts - but which of course. Just like with AGW (I read many of your expositions on the subject a while back on BCT), where it's easy for the layman, who can only delve so far before hitting a similar brick wall of understanding, can be tempted into being led emotionally towards their ideology of choice.
And then, if we then become convinced of a theory that opposes the establishment consensus, we can then all too easily get frustrated and feel effectively powerless to do anything to change the official narrative. Then apathy can set in and we move away to other concerns. Which I guess of course is the intention.
I’m realizing that the Uncommons name really captures both a serious meme for those who appreciate the arts, quality writing, and the eclectic professions, as well as the concept of a platform which isn’t the common one that enslaves us. That is really a naming coup d'état if I am correct.
Yeah, you could have something there.
No I am thinking the people prefer to think of one concept. So the Uncommons would be the place where everything is protected from the establishment’s enslavement, violations and banal mayonnaise spread (which hides the diversity of flavor).
Yes, that makes sense.
People don’t like to think about details. They want it all taken care of so they can focus on their individual maximum division-of-labor role in this universe.
I sense a degree of barely supressed venom there!
I suppose different DAPPs which present different choices of user interfaces and functionality on top of a basic interoperable messaging protocol, will be analogous to the Chrome extensions (c.f. example image at the top of this post). So the user will state, “I’m using Uncommons customized with the Capsule messaging extension.”
That clarifies it better for me, yes.
