Spread of Misinformation

Here more spread of misinformation.

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/09/30/donald-trumps-foundation-gave-10000-to-jenny-mccarthys-anti-vax-group-say-reports/

Post death section of the brains on autistic, normal and dyslexic people can be identified accurately by the spacing of the neuron columns in the brain. The autistic represent the short end of the distribution, while the dyslectic represent the long end, but the number of samples was small at the time of the Eide study. This is post death identification, not the cause of the long or short distribution. As this is normal distribution, there may be no cause other than natural distribution. The problem is one of brain structure, hence diet of mother and child are also subject. Vegan diets are correlated to some autistic children; that is to say that Vegans more frequently have autistic children.

Now comes the second issue, that the child needs to be 2 or 3 before development has progressed to the point that a diagnosis could ever be made, more often 8 or 10. So the inoculation then diagnosis is very shaky as a cause. A lot happens in development.

Previous generations pushed all these sort of people out of school as slow, and never tried to address the real problem. It is therefore impossible to examine change of frequency over time or between cultures and nationalities. Neuron spacing data is too sparse yet to show any trend between races.

As the autistic/dyslexic issue is brain structure/brain development issue, by the time it is diagnosed the problem exists, and nothing beyond learning to live with it can be done. Living as a dyslexic is such fun, and it is associated with poor memory for literal strings, to add to the issues. Yet dyslexics often have other advantages, fixity of knowledge, ability to sort and eliminate non matching concepts. Spell-checkers has made writing so much easier, but there are word usage issues and similar word issues that spell-checker is of no help for. Grammar checkers have a way to go yet.  

So when I see someone promoting the vaccination autism link, which likely does not exist, all I can say is follow the money to understand that someone is making money out of the concept. Why not. Our government allow a lot of bullshat ways of conning we people out of money. Oh well, itewajda.

Churches are not rational

Churches are not rational and never have been.

They oppose birth control when the major world problem is overpopulation. They each fear they will lose population share. In reality they are lose population share to the none and atheists.

Here is another example: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/09/29/alberta-bishops-assisted-death_n_12253532.html   More irrational thinking, but this comes from the same group that burred people in road allowances outside cemeteries in rural Alberta and Saskatchewan, and sold churches where other were buried.

Religions are bullshit, for there teachings do are not provable either true or false, yet at ever turn in science, we do not find a god anywhere. The obvious but unprofitable and unproven-able solution is there is not one. They do not really care either, therefore bullshit. The bullshater is not concerned with the correct of the statement. They are unable to offer explanation for there supernatural statements.

They just made a Saint out of someone who would no give pain relief to the dying because suffering would ensure a better outcome in the afterlife. Why would I or anyone care about what they think?

Self Reparenting

There is a psychological process often referred to as reparenting, even though spell-check does not like that word. What it amounts to is that some parents did a less than ideal job or raising children;  they provide physical necessaries for life; little more. As a result many grew up as wild humans, and we need/needed a little house breaking. Some of us need a lot of change also for the environment we live in is nothing like the old home situation. Oh well, itewajda.

All parenting is deficient. How could it be otherwise. Parenting should prepare the youth for most things in life. Yet with the rate of change we have had in the last couple hundred years, what should we know? what should be taught in any course. It is likely obsolete by the time we know it, and most assuredly then, by the time we learn it, what ever it is. Stop the world, I want off.  

This self reparenting process is just adjusting our thinking, habits, behavior to something different that what we are/were, for change is the only constant. What the new us is going to look like is the big question, along with what should be changed. This process may leave us at odds with those around us, for they may not be changing, or may be changing in much different ways. Now what? How to we learn to tolerate those old characteristics that we find annoying, and those negative people?

I may have been negative in the past about some of the idiocy we see around us, where only a optimist could not see the broken conditions, the receding economy, and falling wages, dangerous working conditions, and the like, yet management insisted that all was roses. Oh well, itewalda, and shortly they went broke after declaring themselves big bonuses with the reserves, and not paying out owed wages. It always has been each man for himself.

The big issue with reparenting, if figuring out what we should know, how we should behave, act, and what we should do. Yes, that is life. Now if all we want to do is sit in the sun, we need to find where the sun shines, and go there. What is it that we want from our life? Not having too high of expectations helps, we are assured of success then, for it is life satisfaction that feeds back positive emotion into the positive psychology engine. Parents forcing big expectations on children is abuse, or may create necessity to achieve, even at the expense of there integrity. That is the downfall of a declining culture, a declining environment, a declining society. Oh well, itewajda.

There is doubt the environment in decline, and the issue that we in science are unable to motivate the politicians to do enough about it is a sure sign of a society in decline. It is every man for himself, to the limits of what we will do. All I have to guide me to the good stoic life is my integrity and virtue; if you prefer Epicurean pleasant life, or the religious purpose or meaning concept, have at it. It does not matter to me. In the end, it is each man for himself, and I do not really care what others do anymore.

Damn. he came back.

What? A what? " "ideological loyalty test" for prospective immigrants ".

OK. so he wants a philosophy blueprint, and those who do not match some standard are out. It is a nice concept, but what is normal and American? Trump himself is a idiot when it comes to how normal, healthy people think, for he is a narcissist, with delusions of grandeur. So what is normal?

This is how he is going to correct the employment? Create new government jobs rounding up and herding out the illegal immigrants. Good one Trump.
