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.
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?
We blew by Nature Bats Last at least, and that is before the recent SPIKE in visitors.
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?
How is your website doing? When you establish a website for Cornucopian Frackers worried about Peak Hydrogen on the Sun, give me holler.
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.
