Is Fake News Taking Over Your Brain?


Are you stuck in the never-ending toilet swirl of the mainstream media news cycle?

Even most "serious" news like all the 24-hour cable news networks and the inky gray rags made of dead trees that still get delivered to people's houses from a truck two decades deep into the 21st century are all just basically gossip columns that cover politicians and journalists instead of actors and singers.

Which actually kind of makes sense now that I think about it... that's all politicians and journalists are:

Politicians are actors (not people who take action, people who read their scripted lines on television to entertain you while the state goes about its business off camera).

Journalists are singers (not people who tell you the truth, people who sing you a song about the truth and justice and all that to entertain you while the state goes about its business off camera).

So if you want to stop chasing your tail with everybody else until you end up like this guy, with nothing left on your deathbed but your friend calling you from another state to lie to you that Trump had been impeached so you can die with a grin on your face and that's what your life has amounted to...

Grab the side of the toilet bowl and pull with all your might all at once and once you've made it out, never go near that place again. It's easy to lose track of time and forget how long you've been swirling around in that shit.

What are this week's three acceptable #topics to groupthink about with everybody else, huh? #NKorea #OReilly and #Trump?

Look you're going to forget about those first two by next week. #Nkorea next month at the latest. I know, #Trump will be one of the top three most weeks for the next 4 - 8 years, but you'll forget about that one too as soon as the next #POTUS enters the swirl.

"Miss Me Yet?"

"Huh? Who said that?? You? Oh no! Miss you? We've been trying our damnedest not to even remember you. Thank God for the news cycle. Guys quick! What are we talking about this week?? Quick! Please! I need this. *toilet flushing sounds* Ahhhhh that's better. Feels so good to get my brain wet!"

Here's some toilet paper. Wipe your mouth.

We'll never speak of this again.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...

How To Gain More Twitter Followers

Earlier today, I wrote : "My goal is to write a book before the end of March. My goal is to spend no more than a week from start to publication, spending as much time as I need in order to get it done during that week. My goal is to give it away to you for free here on HumbleLibertarian.com. What's a goal you have? Something you may have been putting off for years? Something you could accomplish in one month if you were determined? If it's near-term enough of a goal, and specific enough of a goal, and you share it in the comments below, feel free to tell me how I can help you and I'll do whatever I can. If it's a libertarian / news / politics-related goal, my manner of help would be easy to determine. I could promote it, introduce you to someone via email, (etc.). If it's something apolitical like quit smoking cigarettes, start exercising, learn guitar, start a business, gain more Twitter followers, learn another language, eat a paleo diet, or...
