  1. Train story things that pop out ….

    Nebraska, food producing area in harvest season.

    Chemical dispersed into the air? Air dispersal for maximum coverage? How far? Environmental impact? Does it react with other chemicals to create something else?

    Warren Buffet. Not his railroad. Yet.

  2. Lol … I think John missed the joke about the “hack” at the casino. Like Catherine said, the casino has always had the “systems and means” to protect itself. ?????

  3. Howdy. On the topic of cyberattacks, not sure if you are gonna mentioned/saw this, but five Canadian provinces had their websites “hacked”, causing them to be unavailable last week. Story was only a brief mention in mainstream. Feels like they are setting up a narrative.

    Also, the 1MillionMarch4Kids is another thing to watch. Like the trucker psy op, this smells like another case where a grassroots movement gets infiltrated and altered. I have watched this closely, as it is a big deal on our island, and i see the red flags of interference, and the pattern repeating.

    1. you’re damned if you have leaders, and damned if you don’t. the infiltration is only possible when there are no distinct leaders.

  4. Yes Catherine… awaken and laughter is a very good combination! Thank you for sharing- I’ll pass it on eliane

  5. Really? Here we go again with the Chinese engineers again. I submit it is more important to have honest engineers who are committed to their work than engineers who don’t care about truth and quality. I see the result of third world engineers screwing up major corporations every day, through insiders who know what’s going on. I am at a loss why you continue to count third world engineers as if it matters.

    1. Cathy, I heard this a joke about the foreign engineers issue:

      What do other students call an American at a top physics PhD program?

      The dumb guy.

      Either we are outsourcing the engineering work to foreign countries, or we are importing foreign engineers via the HB1 work visa program.

      Worse yet. Because this outsourcing model is already a generation old, we have lost and eroded the local human capital to do top notch technical and manufacturing work in the US. A manufacturing or engineering job is not as popular as a job in finance, law or as a social media influencer in our young people’s mindset. And the people who built things in 1970s and 1980s are past retirement age.

      More kids do sports on the weekends than coding or math classes. I checked out two private (and very expensive) schools in my area, and they were both focused on creating socially aware, caring, empathetic children. But neither school offered accelerated math or science classes, and the head math teacher at the middle school said they did not believe in kids taking advanced math. In her words, there is no need fo young kids to do advanced math, even if they are capable of it . If that isn’t dumbing down, I don’t know what is. And this was an “elite” private school!

      Of course you want caring and empathetic children, but that is not a school’s job. Of course you want kids to play sports, but not at the expense of getting them ready to compete for scarce resources with a billion ambitious and well trained kids from abroad.

      It is a matter of priorities. We (collective we) talk about wanting to be a technological power, but want to accomplish that through financial means (throwing money at it). Seen through a financial lense, outsourcing engineering work is the way to go.

      1. I don’t agree. There are plenty of Americans who could be in PhD programs, but the “best” schools fill their slots with foreign students. Do you think it has something to do with fed govt incentives? Also whole software departments have been laid off over they past 15 years. Those people didn’t evaporate. Many can still fill openings held by the h1b visa invaders.

    2. There is no “third” world, when IP can be transferred willy-nilly across international borders, with related actors at source and destination.

      If the technology exists to profile individual human talent globally, would such profiles influence which humans are allowed to study abroad, be granted student visas, work abroad before returning, work abroad on strategic projects, work poorly in low-cost outsourcing teams that sabotage customers, are ordered to work on national space programs, etc?

      There are no “engineers” or “Americans” or “Chinese”, only billions of individuals who are profiled with increasing precision by multiple competing factions. Competing factions periodically steal each others databases of individuals (e.g. telco subscribers, casino loyalty programs, air miles programs, US OPM hack, etc).

      Anyone profiled can be influenced by custom targeted incentives, adjustments, herding to/from, control, human networks, social media & more.

      Per Joseph Farrell, one or more factions may be extra-national, i.e. we don’t have have a name by which to incorrectly stereotype the members of such factions.

      1. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Maybe if I’m more explicit, it would help.
        Wall Street/Big Banks/TPTB pushed businesses to destroy engineering after off-shoring the manufacturing. Essentially, they rolled through many blue collar occupations and started on the white collar ones. For example, there were whole software groups laid off at once, and offered severance on the condition that they train the new THIRD WORLD (which is real) “engineers.” It may be a fact that these third world engineers went to college, either in their own countries or in the US. So what? The culture in those countries is not conducive to producing quality engineers in large numbers. Their cultural values typically do not include a commitment to truth and quality which is necessary for science and engineering.
        I can give you three examples of what I mean. The Indian students working on problem sets in their course work will divvy up the problems among them, then all submit the work as if they did the full problem set themselves. They do not consider this wrong in any way. Obviously, this means that they don’t learn the curriculum. I know of one top school that has told them they are not allowed to do this and instituted controls, but I doubt that the controls work.
        I also know of a major corporation where the Indians have almost completely replaced the American software engineers (this is common), and marginalized the few who are left. Not only are the Indians inexperienced, not only did quality go out the window, but Indians plot to sabotage the Americans who have the nerve to reveal the software problems.
        Another example is it appears that among some Chinese lab PhD candidates, their idea of research is performing the same experiment over and over until they get the “right” results. As you may know, after 4 or 5 generations of communism, they are not likely to care about truth and quality. I certainly would NEVER recommend Chinese baby formula to my worst enemy. These people do not see what they do as wrong, they are simply following their cultural habits. I know two research PhDs, working in different countries in different disciplines, who both say they don’t bother to read any papers published by Chinese researchers. They can’t trust them.
        I have explained this before. Catherine’s and John’s insistence on touting the number of third world engineers as some how giving those countries a leg up is indicative of not understanding the situation. What is happening is not that India and China are rising to take the number one place in science and engineering. The reality is that science and engineering across the world are being destroyed due to the economic warfare against the first world. This will end badly for everyone.
        I hope that’s more clear.

        1. Cathy:
          Great comments You are right. This is not just about numbers. At the same time if you look at the performance of the space companies in India and China, there have to be functional engineers. I have longed believed the country that the US was most afraid of in terms of engineering was Japan – and that was a quality over numbers assessment.
          I would recommend you take a look at this https://home.solari.com/book-review-the-corruption-of-real-science-by-bruce-g-charlton/
          The corruption in science, medicine, engineering that I see in the West continues to rise
          Catherine

          1. Catherine, I 100% agree with your assessment of Japan. They absorbed Demming’s work and they have a commitment to excellence in their culture.
            About the space companies, I think the jury is still out on that. I suspect they are not as advanced as they appear, however, the fact that they are dealing with not just bits and bites, but with tangible things helps. It is much harder to hide incompetence when equipment seizes up or falls out of the sky. IT is really where the catastrophe is, which, ironically, may save us in the end since that’s what tptb will be depending on to control all of us.
            I thought you knew where I stand on western science, engineering and medicine. There haven’t been many really revolutionary scientific discoveries in decades. Medicine is a total disaster. I think future historians will look back on this period of cut/poison/burn as every bit as barbaric as drilling holes in skulls to let out demons. As I said, tptb are destroying these disciplines throughout the world.
            Despite the dropping standards in the first world, the West is still ahead mainly due to our cultural legacy. My PhD friend insists if she had to give an important project to someone, it would be an American or a German. She doesn’t trust anyone from other countries to be honest and committed. She worked with Indians, Latins and Chinese for five years, as well as many Europeans.
            Thanks for your comment. 😉

          2. Cathy:

            Very, very helpful. This fits when I look at companies. The Japanese presentations are often the best, following by German, Dutch, Austrian and Scandinavian, and the excellent ones in America.

        2. Dear Cathy, you make many great points, but I will quote Stalin and say, “Quantity is also a quality.” As for the commitment to truth and quality in scientific work in the West vs the Third World, I am imagining Dr. Fauci’s face and just do not see truth or quality as necessary ingredients for our fifth industrial revolution or post whatever reality.

  6. just a point about the number of degrees per pear. in the US, degrees are *not* what they used to be. they’re now a lot dumber than 10 years ago.
