Listens today now at 182.  When you get that many people listen to you rant in a day, get back to me.  Day is not over yet either.

RE"

Wow. 182. Is this supposed to be...good? Sort of like the McDonald's hamburger version of quality again?

The Goal is to reach as many people as possible.

We blew by Nature Bats Last at least, and that is before the recent SPIKE in visitors.

How is your website doing?  When you establish a website for Cornucopian Frackers worried about Peak Hydrogen on the Sun, give me holler.

Those who can think and have value to a community, or just dumbasses who don't know a quality hamburger from what McDonald's cranks out?

The implication being that NBL has a smaller group of ignorant than you do? And that larger groups of ignorant mean an idea has more value because...more ignorant folks believe it?

Tell me RE, how does any of this avoid the standard internet problem of the value of opinion from two populations within the group as a whole?

The opinion of the single professional brain surgeon being bashed by the 10,000 mcdonald's workers, all referencing the burger king workers as their source on the topic, and the idiot owning mcdonalds thinking his people know more because he has more employees than the guy who owns the burger kings? On the topic of brain surgery? How STUPID do you have to pretend to be  to make this case with a straight face?

Quote from: RE

RE

Is that what the Ivys taught the undergrads (versus what I've seen the Ivy's teach their advanced grads) decades ago? Use your brains to pimp the ignorant and pretend that popularity substitutes for value because others won't call you on it? 

How low must someones self esteem be to confuse internet mouthpiece advocating mcdonalds hamburger quality of thought with the value of the opinion of a professional who is actually consulted to guide actions in the real world?

What has more value, 1,000,000 doomers reading the daily rant for a year, or someone advising Toyota management for 1/2 hour? How many JOGMEC officials are going to call you up and ask if they can drop in and see this Daily Rant Internet Talking Head Wizard? Perhaps you will get calls now to review the IEA WEO before release? The popularity of your McDonalds quality of thinking having imbued you with knowledge? ( A clue...the IEA WEO isn't about domes, drinking beer, or putting 2nd graders down for nap-nap, so where does your value come into play here?) Better yet, how many times have you been consulted by the IEA, hell, how many times have they sent experts to YOUR office, just to talk to YOU?

How about governments? I've briefed more than a few Australian government folks, as recently as last year. Do you think if I would have just played them one of your rants rather than offering up my professional opinion, they would have thanked me for what they learned? Or LAUGHED at me and considered it a good gag joke? Australians do have a sense of humor, I'm betting they would have laughed. How about Pakistani's? They were pretty cut and dried about what they were interested in the last time I spoke with them, think they care about how many mcdonalds hamburgers you have sold to the gullible? Or what you know on topics of interest? Lebanese? Iraqis? Israelis? ANYONE? Surely someone specializing in McDonalds hamburger quality of thought is in great demand throughout the world, I mean really, you have bumped off NBL!!! Outstanding!!! Keep the grill warmed up and serving the pink slime...I'm sure Chefs all over the world will beat their way to your door to try and understand how to make a popular hamburger.

Is that any way to speak to the highest IQ on planet earth. Come now, show the Genius some respect. >:(

Perhaps if you read, excuse me "Listened" to his latest masterpiece you would better understand his greatness. It's title is "A World of ****" none but a genius of his stature could conjure up such a title.  ;D :D ::)

Perhaps a picture of the Grand Imperial Wizard will set you straight about him?  Long may we live in exile, sent to this hell on earth for not recognizing his Genius. Long may we suffer and do penance for our sins.

Here he is, in all his grandeur displaying his wisdom to his devoted minions.  Why couldn't we recognize his greatness like the lackeys and avoid this horrible fate?

I thought the same thing about the title "A World of ****" but knowing that RE has the highest IQ on planet earth, I've come to the conclusion this title must be some sort of intellectual puzzle of sorts that us lower-intellect types are supposed to try and solve.  I've already tried spelling it backwards and that doesn't appear to be it.  Maybe we have to apply a physics equation to the order of the letters (1-26)? Perhaps it's a numerology thing?   ???

  So here we are in Amerika, the land of the free and the brave. What was supposed to have been MLK's  "Promised Land".  Also known as the land of " Another sucker is born every two minutes."  From the invention of hooknosed Usury by the original Grifters, to the in your face selling of born again kingdom come "awakened", the new world has never differed from the old world. It's simply "Buyer Beware", you are on your own, here comes the next snake oil salesman and his motley crew of gangster enforcers. Isn't that what we have here on Doomstead Diner as well as the rest of the good ole USA, ditto Europe and Asia. Best to not think of those just too gullible and stupid to protect themselves. Those too naive to see through the deep hostility underlying the come-on. After all this is the natural order of things, the true nature of human beings with free will and the gift for plunder, **** and devastation. Taking advantage of the weak and the vulnerable, be it the children of the truly desperate or the truly desperate themselves, driven into his arms through fear and lack of discernment.  And where does pity, compassion or concern come into this,  in watching another small rip off being set up by another run of the mill predator, a dime a dozen in these United States of some 317 million people becoming poorer by the second ?  Well, it doesn't does it.  Whether achieving the goal of non profit status or just going for profit. the porno boys always know  how. Par for the course, along with the odd child victim sacrificed to the altar of "survival".

"This again, from that again . . . more of that brilliance that GO and others are so eager to worship-"; Surly

Exactly surly. Again you try and claim that we are following and worshipping King, when we only agree with him about spying and hacking. In the last 4 days before this cyber-reservation was created the argument had stopped. All other admins had exhausted their defenses. Only you continued with 3 times a day claiming we were following King. You 3 times a day ignored me pointing out that I had debated King every dam day so was hardly a follower. If YOU feel foolish following a self declared dictator and worshipping "the power of god on a forum", try and deal with your discomfort in an honest way.

Notice also you are allowed to carry on using the diner to denigrate us, just as RE did with the top and centre article lying about why we are in here saying we are against sustainable systems and community, and then expecting to be believed after saying that BS, to say GO deleted a comment he posted here.

I also wondered with your horse whipping meme, when you put it under RE's guillotine in the daily memo, was you saying the guillotine was whipping a dead horse? or turning every thread even after we were banished into a platform to complain about the contributors? We were supposedly sent here for turning every thread (two total) into complaining about the DD (spying and hacking) after all.

Yes JoeP, A puzzle from the Grand Wizard.

It was my contention that it came about with the aid of a case of beer, peppered with a pint of very cheap whiskey, Our beloved founder is very thrifty,  and after all booze is booze.  ;D

Who knows? When trying to comprehend genius of that nature you are usually doomed to failure.   :-\

Good advice.  BTW - I didn't go past the backward spelling test...so it didn't take much time for me to lose interest either.

"In the best case scenario, we will find a way to weather the storm, and build a Better Tomorrow.


RE"

Credit where its due, I found this article to be of the excellence and interest that attracted me to DD at the start.

 30 minutes by car to get beer-- Welcome to my world, 20 miles.

 The questions about zombies and security. In the 1990's I was in the army reserve first as a private in reconnaisance in the early 90s, doing weekend patrols etc, then in the late 90's as a psych officer, lieutenant. 95% of what I learned in those officer exercises was never used since I all I got to do was fly a desk once I got the embroidered lapels. Still when you start prepping and steading, that training starts to apply.

gangs do not need to walk all the way to a particular destination from a city right away. If there are livestock on farms on the outskirts of town and then more along roadisdes etc as you go further out, then all thieves have to do is slaughter sheep etc and find some wood or dry dung to burn to bbq it. They can keep going further and further like that as long as they have water, just as hunter gatherers did before civilization. Much water to be found such as animals dams might make you sick so you would be going to farmhouses to get clean water. How well these will be defended is an open question. I see a distinct lack of younger people on farms these days, the children have left for the bigger towns for work or becaue they dont want to be broke ass farmers like their parents. Will they be back, will the farms have been repoed by monsanto by then? Will there be more workers doing more manually and less by petrol power by then?

You mention locals being more of a problem in theiving. Based on my experience with country folk I disagree, the small community will probably pull together. There are some bad eggs but they are the minority, at least here, I cant generalise every place. most are not like city folk in terms of helpfulness and selfishness and a me first attitude. I used to live in a "dress circle suburb", and my neighbors were the worst entitled pack of c$%ts possible, in fact if you piled them up and put them on fire I would not **** on them. OTOH the property owners around here are overall down to earth, friendly and helpful. Ive heard people who travelled working in the US tell me the same applies there.

I notice eddy has his buildings on high ground. This is a huge defensive and surveillance advantage. The distance you can see and the number of observation posts and people required to man them is much less. From an elevated iont especially on a peak you can have 1 lookout for easily 1km in either direction left and right, further with binoculars or scope, on level gound that is clear that would be reduced to around 250 m max, and where there is denser forest or bush far less and depending on what the ground is like you need to hear twigs and bark crunching before you can even see someone at night. So the advantage of that elevation seen in the clip for defensive purpose is massive. Tired and weak people are also less likely to climb a steep hill for the hell of it if it isnt obvious from the bottom theres anything up there to take.

  Well it goes something like this Joe:  People who urinate in public often **** in public. People who **** in public see the world as **** to be shat upon.  In other words they see "A World Of ****." That includes themselves for they respect neither themselves nor anyone else. It is just as MKing stated so acutely.  RE, at the end of the road, has no self esteem and hates everyone else. Even those he can conjure into being used. They in turn have little self esteem themselves. That is why they go along with his meme of "The World Stinks", The World is Full of ****  because The Whole World has shat on ME.  As that paragon of half seas wisdom expostulated, It's all about ME, the ME in question being the poor defecated upon RE, rejected by the world and at his wits end to make a fast or slow buck that would not take him away from the necessary drinking of alcohol. r Can you stay drunk and drive a truck for your daily bread for very long? Highly unlikely. Can you float Armageddon with promises of salvation over the internet and radio while staving off delirium tremors and living frugally off of inheritance from a bar? Very possible. Can you cook up a way to fleece some shekels from the down sizing boomer?  Also possible. They are sitting ducks for any unsavory huckster making the rounds. Countless people already have this guys number. Count yourself one of them.

Someone noticed today that RE's most recent plan involves building a construction business under BAU conditions, and was quite on topic to what a wonderfully ironic idea that was for those constantly trying to pitch zombie protection in the form of mountains and it was "disappeared".....gee...what a surprise!!!!!

Not a surprise based on past events of course, and it has only bothered me in the past where I felt someone asked for, and I wrote, a properly annotated answer. When that much work disappears it is irritating and has led to some of my posting rules concentrating on allowing those who wish to learn, to do so.

But becoming the Bill Gates of dome construction..oops...over the line, maybe it was my crack about "why not just buy a Dairy Queen or some other fast food franchise..." hitting a bit to close to home? ;D

I suggest saving your posts in notepad and reposting them here if I Deep Six them.  That is why I set up an Anti-Diner for you guys.

Issue is that you just non-stop emanate Negative Waves.  I get it.  You don't agree with anything I am trying to accomplish.  You have a different world view.  Fine, set up a Blog to detail it for everyone.  Constantly arguing with you takes too much **** time, and after a full year of it I won't bother anymore, least on the Diner I won't.  I'll drop in here occassionally though to see how things are progressing.

Liar. You set up the Anti-Diner because you couldn't get the 3 regulars at the Diner to move to the blonde haired and blue eyed Island and stood as much chance of driving them off over the inconvenience. People holding up the corners of the emperors sun shield must not be inconvenienced, hell, they might be the only suckers left in the joint!!!




Plus it helps to make sure that any new folks who show up can be screened and tracked in case they dare to claim an expertise that can be used to set up a giggle factory over your amateurish understanding of various fossil fuel topics

As far as saving my work, obviously I do, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to find my science publications.   ;D ;D

Oh, there are many things I imagine you do get. But pretending that cheerleading the dieoff of billions of people is a happy-happy joy-joy moment, and censoring those who note otherwise, or even the irony of your position, just reinforces my prior speculation on your motivations for being in Alaska.

Quote from: RE

Incorrect. I don't believe you are trying to accomplish what you claim to be. A BAU business model and company formation for Dome construction just being the most recent slip on your true motivations.

Quote from: RE
You have a different world view. 

Obviously. You can figure that out in about the first 10 seconds when I don't have to explain to folks my need for hiding behind mountains to keep out all the people that disgust me.

Quote from: RE

Why? You might be limited to the mcdonalds hamburger quality of thought arena. I am not. You of all people supposedly know that.

Quote from: RE

RE

Progressing. Funny. It will progress apace to your level of excluding those who don't respond appropriately in the diner.

Yeah, that might be it.  Endogenous depression or a tendency to it, exacerbated by repeated social defeats. Then the projector starts running, and readily picks up on the "decline-and-fall-of-everything" meme.

I keep seeing this thing about R.E. and alcohol. Is he a bigtime boozer? If so, that could explain a lot. Alcohol is poison for the brain in all but small amounts. It is also terrible for depressed people: makes them feel slightly better for a short while, then worse for much longer. The more you drink, the more depressed you get; the more depressed you get, the more you drink. Throw in to the mix a doomer belief system, perhaps poor diet, perhaps no exercise, perhaps poor social skills and few opportunities, etc... and what it adds up to ain't pretty over a few years or decades.  Related:
