You really ought to get out of your mothers basement maybe once, and take a road trip to New York. There's close to 500,000 people that would love to give you a deserving hug. Spare us your negative thoughts. There's nothing poetic about you, unless however it's justice.

Lighten up, Francis.

Pondering about multiversus and cons

They say the universe is expanding ever faster.

Just a point of view:
The universe stays same size, we are shrinking ever more rapid.

In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as Sommerfeld's constant, commonly denoted by α (the Greek letter alpha), is a fundamental physical constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. It is a dimensionless quantity related to the elementary charge e, which characterizes the strength of the coupling of an elementary charged particle with the electromagnetic field, by the formula 4πε0ħcα = e2. As a dimensionless quantity, its numerical value, approximately 1/137, is independent of the system of units used.

While there are multiple physical interpretations for α, it received its name from Arnold Sommerfeld introducing it (1916) in extending the Bohr model of the atom: α quantifies the gap in the fine structure of the spectral lines of the hydrogen atom, which had been precisely measured by Michelson and Morley.

Our master is anyone who has the power to implement or prevent the things that we want or don’t want. Whoever wants to be free, therefore, should wish for nothing or avoid nothing that is up to other people. Failing that, one is bound to be a slave.

The fact that America exists is the ultimate argument that Stoicism is not apathy and that philosophy is not mere theory. Because without Stoicism, it’s possible there would have been no revolution, no Constitution, no Bill of Rights and no Fourth of July.

Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of Seneca on his nightstand. George Washington staged a reproduction of a play about Cato at Valley Forge in the winter of ‘77/’78 to inspire the troops (having first read the Stoics as a teenager). Patrick Henry cribbed lines from that same play which we now credit to him: “Give me Liberty or give me death!” John Adams, Ben Franklin—almost all the founders were well-versed in the works of the Stoics. It’s partly what gave them the courage to found a new nation against such incredible odds, and it’s partly what set up the principles that formed that nation and changed the world.

A diagram of various units derived from the human hand. The palm (3) was originally the width of the palm but was standardized as the somewhat smaller width of four digits (6). The related shaftment (1) and hand (2) were the width of the palm plus an open or closed thumb. The other units are the span (4) and finger (5).

Be afraid of infection
Be scared of evil ways
Be scared for your protection
Best watch your every stop
Instinctual appeal to fear
Collapse and paralyze
Far gone is good intention
Smokescreen to commercialize

Teller of tales spin us in a line
Front page impersonation

Cities burn; the shies will fall
Civilization reduced to nothing
Disease will spread to all

We buy so we survive
Feel the acid rain corrode
I want to take a picture
Our lives would look disguised

Wash away this lying world
Terminate this iron fist

Strangled are we by the bastards of fascist culture
Strangled are we by the hands of our own people

ON the stage it's "our lives"
On the stage grows a mountain
As we stumble on we forget

Steel toed this path of corruption
Conceal and steer our minds away

Joseph-Ignace Guillotin; 28 May 1738 – 26 March 1814, was a French physician, politician and freemason who proposed on 10 October 1789 the use of a device to carry out death penalties in France, as a less painful method of execution than existing methods. Although he did not invent the guillotine and opposed the death penalty, his name became an eponym for it. The actual inventor of the prototype was a man named Tobias Schmidt, working with the king's physician, Antoine Louis.

As one may expect from such an absurd premise, the National Clean Up-Paint Up-Fix Up Bureau was actually created by the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, an organization that had a vested interest in seeing Americans continue to build single-family homes and to paint those homes with frequency. As David Monteyne writes in his book, Fallout Shelter: Designing for Civil Defense in the Cold War, "clearly drawing on the sort of urban planning research that was used to justify slum clearance, the film demonstrates how, in contrast to vulnerability of neglected neighborhoods, the tidy streets, yards, and living rooms of the middle class were spaces safe from the ravages of atomic urban renewal."

Eventually, the army chose Phocas as the new emperor, and one of his first actions was to eliminate Maurice and his family. The emperor’s sons were butchered in front of him before he was executed and beheaded. All six heads were put on display while the bodies were tossed into the sea. Empress Constantina and her three daughters were also tortured and executed. Meanwhile, Pope Gregory was delighted at the news and hoped Christians would get behind Phocas. The usurper had power, but his demise was little better than his enemy....
