"GRAVY FOR YOUR BRAIN!" – Conspiracy Theory (1997)
“Democracy could never scale.” – Dr. Freckles
In many ways, the flaws inherent in democracy are predicted by the “calculation problem”.
The “utopian democrat” wants to pretend that some “honest vote” will yield valid predictors for resource allocation – but what if that’s just the same communist error.
“Change is for the laundromat.” – Dr. Freckles
“I’m a hermit … you are all so great from a distance … especially if I have a .50 cal Barret … and concertina wire deployed correctly, to channel you.” – Dr. Freckles
“I’ve been naming the deer here, in the woods, as they pass by: ‘Cheese Burger’, ‘Stew’, ‘Pepperoni Pizza’, ‘Meat Ball’, it feels cozy.” – Dr. Freckles
“When it comes to creatures in this world that might be self aware and conscious of their existence, whether it’s African grey parrots or dogs or dolphins or octopus or even cats, we should ask: what do they want and need? – not how can I torture them into behaving.” – Dr. Freckles
“Jimmy Buffet OVER Warren Buffet.” – Dr. Freckles
“China has turned the Potemkin Village into a science.” – Dr. Freckles
“Twitter is a Turing Test, and everyone fails.” – Dr. Freckles
“The most common lie heard: ‘I don’t have a religion’.” – Dr. Freckles
“A statist-voter can sit in a meeting for an hour where NOTHING was done, and feel like they’re a hero, and saved the world.” – Dr. Freckles
“How can we collect taxes if we don’t raise money from taxes?” – Dr. Freckles
Red Queen Hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis
“Let’s be honest: Davy Jones’ Locker is not the bottom of the ocean, it’s a woman’s cooch.” – Dr. Freckles
“If democracy actually worked? – it would be like the Krell from ‘Forbidden Planet’, except it would take more than one night because government ain’t that fucking efficient.” – Dr. Freckles
“The real pandemic: ‘smart’ devices.” – Dr. Freckles
Ironically named things are destroying us.
“Plan 9 from outer space might have been the ‘reanimation of the dead’, but Plan 10 was definitely ‘fake a pandemic’.” – Dr. Freckles
“Beware the limited-hangout sheepdog humans that say something right every once in a while: it’s a trap.” – Dr. Freckles
Simpler:
“People being ‘right’ once in a blue moon does NOT make them trustworthy, no more than a broken clock.” – Dr. Freckles
“War and Armies: providing the world with dead, tortured, broken spirits, homeless people and refugees since 4,000 BC.” – Dr. Freckles
“They say, don’t drink with a ghost. I say, don’t drink with a Danish person – not unless you want to stare into the face of gormlessly fatalistic schadenfreude darkness.” – Dr. Freckles
“Cities are the ultimate mind fuck.” – Dr. Freckles
“A truly free republic can suffer an anarchist that lives in the woods and wants to be left alone.” – Dr. Freckles
I’ll say this again and it does bear repeating:
A free republic can suffer a few anarchists that live in the woods and want to be left alone.
A tyranny can’t suffer ONE.
