[New Teensy 4.0 Blows Away Benchmarks, Implements Self-Recovery, Returns To Smaller Form
Laurice Whack
An annual Gallup poll conducted in August delivered sobering news to supporters of organized labor, finding that public approval of unions has declined to the lowest point in more than seventy years since the poll began:

Corrections for post below: 1)Guess another mimetic factor that figures in the anti-public option frame (I forgot to mention) is that healthcare must be earned. This is built on the status quo that came before...totally arbitrary. It's like cell phone companies charging us $60 per mo (I use pre-pay). No one compares them to old Ma Bell's rates or public cooperatives or government run utilities, as privatized is now considered normal...say for instance in cable news "analysis." Anyway, it's gotta be earned from that frame. And, of course, this entails putting up the front and defending the front...that one has earned. Huge mimesis. 2)The public option's contribution to more healthcare jobs...primary care doctors etc...will it seems to me be indirect. More than likely this job sector also needs its own stimulus to boot. I see I wrote as if all the appropriations would immediately solve supply and demand problems, but from what I hear and read that's far from the case.
Now, I'm getting close...to knowing what "Olympic Labor" is. I'm bout ready to give up on this isp altogether...believe it or not to Wiki the phrase would take more time than I've got. Maybe you could tell me and I'll read next time...corporation, union, what? Dunno if the following will communicate where I see mimetic rivalry relevant, but I'll try. Sure would be nice if you were right re people have seen the absurdity of the mechanism and want to back off a bit.
Read the recent articles at Open Democracy on Berlusconi and Sarkozy (sp?). When things get centralized all must demonstrate alliegance. That's mimetic rivalry. $200 billion of gold bullion was just purchased by India I think from some European consortium, perhaps a consortium representing nations. Now the rich cats in India will have something they can all compete to latch onto. And latch onto it they will. That takes an item to get mimetic over...away from the West. Among big US banks the rivalry is in terms of getting gov backup (gov will shell out no gold; the taxpayer will shell out for the immediate fix...and will shell out forever if no one'll buy our bonds). The rivalry it seems to me is also in terms of the zealous style in which they and their wannabes spew laws...predictions: eg stocks are up, ergo economy is improving. These myths and dictums require dedication and of course...mimesis.
Don't have enough time to think of a banking example, but here's one re the public option. The public option will enable more funds for increased clinic staff and hospital staff. The deficit hawks' argument is based on an incomplete frame of reference on the part of the less informed. They rely on mimesis: let's keep the money and the healthcare for people like us...these others are not allowed to belong. Mimesis in this case is blind to the necessity that the population needs care immediately, that employee health insurance is crippling our corporations, and that the population needs the additional healthcare jobs (any jobs) that the funds from a public option will support. Once upon a time we needed dams and jobs at the same time. The incomplete frame is like some kind of dream that they will always be the big earners and that more taxing will hurt them disproportionately. It is lala land. They cannot see that HMOs have gone haywire in mimetic rivalry with other cutthroat corporations...and that this extreme condition needs reforming.
These examples may not depict the most extreme impact mimetic rivalry exercises over our civ, or the deepest...but are ones which occur to me and ones which I think have some relevance to our troubles.
David H wrote, in part, "The merchants of cool have brainwashed'em and technique too [so many do mimetic rivalry now in terms of: who can mimic best the blase apolitical stars who decline cogent comment...and who apparently shun any potential ever to do so?]. I try to look at it from the frame of reference of the accused."
It was probably a local airing on PBS, but hte documentary on the building of the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River was interesting because there was no "mimetic rivalry" involved in that accomplishment of Olympic Labor.
Joining you in considering the perspective of the "accused", in this case it's Olympic Labor, mimetic rivalry is ALSO not present in the current efforts of the Sierra Club to tear down all the Colorado River Dams, is it?
The LIMITS of mimetic rivalry have been reached, it seems. Tear down everything that PROVES how incompetant WE currently are and let "nature", whom they also are incapable of mimick-ing, btw, teach us anew...?!
Not everyone is blogging on this site dedicated to mimetic do-gooders...most of the interesting "bursts" of real live personality comes from encounters with real live people. A male friend had such a burst yesterday when it was "all abortion, all day"...he pretty much ended his "relationship" with that issue - it came out something like this...."...those &^%!#@ *&^%((*^ don't need to tell me how to LOVE the women in my life - I never knocked anyone up!...no one wants those $%&*(^ politicos &^&%%* &^$%^#$ in our beds and diapers and tissue boxes - GO AFTER WALL STREET AND END THE WARS! OR GO BACK TO THE HELL YOU CAME OUT OF"....
SHould I have applied PCism and psycho babble and tell him he wasn't right? Or go get some "holy book" (which version, so many re-writes?) and tell him it's "god's will" to teach a woman her place in life by forcing her to carry a calcified dead fetus in her body until her body ("nature") expelled it "naturally"?
Dunno about sociopaths in so many cases. The merchants of cool have brainwashed'em and technique too [so many do mimetic rivalry now in terms of: who can mimic best the blase apolitical stars who decline cogent comment...and who apparently shun any potential ever to do so?]. I try to look at it from the frame of reference of the accused. My job is not to guess at the karma others may earn [granted, I "judge" sometimes when I associate "sociopath" with long humbling karma...don't others make this association as well?]. To understand the brainwashing techniques might be a goal for us here [or after Galbraith's comments, which I greatly appreciate, perhaps understanding or grasping our "powerful"ness vs the power of "rogue economics"]. I was reading your last post, Anna, but...so far (as sifting the import takes time and the bandwidth devourers are waking up)...sorry, only a segment. Other than mine this comment of yours has elicited no response or endorsement. Is it because folks need it more broken down, or because the oracle has spoken as lucidly as is deserved and everyone realizes this except me?
Serota was interesting on "Now" last night, but strange when talking of passion...he talked so evenly and measuredly. Alas, this seems to be the fate at this juncture of those who wish to summarize well. I miss Harry Shearer's sharp (emotional) satire (net's too loaded up now for me to stream him), and look forward to hearing him on Alan Colmes next week (watch, I'll sleep right through it).
Nicole Sandler is pop'n up here and there, and when I hear her free over amplitude modulation...she seems as progressive and informative a host as any of the others. Very challenging for my level anyway. In the passion dept, however, that DJ Spooky number today on Bob Edwards seemed to look squarely at the deception.
"But between Enron, Wall St, and HMOs...the whole mentality of what's in the heads that buy trickle-down philosophy is plain: under the thinnest of guises, philosophies, rationalizations...just give all these your allegiance and...when your ship comes in you'll never have been on record as having advocated any sharing...as you say: more money for me, me, me! What they advocate and want is no longer subtle. When philanthropists first started backing off gifts, they had to mystify how hedgefunds worked. Sort of conspiratorial. But now that we know how they work (roughly), those legs (those mysteries) they cannot stand on (or hide behind). Just my 2 cents.
is that you never get fooled into the magic act of that short skit I referenced - the one about how to construct a contraption that turns an act like a person making toast into a 2000 step "process" where the person and the toast never interact until the toast is delivered to the person.
The "black box" constructed had one goal in mind - deliver ALL the toast in the world to one person who neither grew the wheat, laid the eggs, picked the sugar canes, started the yeast, well, you get the point, right?
The TRUTH is all those "clever" enron, wall st, hmo, etc. sociopaths have only ONE "industry" left to rob - "health care" and that's why the fight is so vicious regarding "legislation"...do you REALLY think the human species can survive with "biology" -
The following information was available in Paper 42, which was delivered coompletely written, to a group of Seventh Day Adventists and some of their "friends" in Chicago in 1934. Paper 42 is one of the 196 Papers compiled into "The Urantia Book" finally published in 1955 and just as quickly "unpublished", if you will, because of lawsuits generated by that infernal "personhood" status given to a NON PERSON in USA "law".
the CENSORSHIP of The Urantia Book is one vicious-vicious "conspiracy" and I'm afraid that as part of selfish "survival" instincts, I can't be silent because we NEED a better "class" of USA people to actually read this book - NOT "interpret" it for personal profit. They have it ALL so tragically wrong in regards to the direction of "science"...mostly because they are too stupid to understand it and too nasty to "share" information.
Back to Planet Anna - the front page article at the ONLY newspaper in this podunk, neocon/oilman/wild west, dusty desert town - fully under the control of one psychopathic elite gang (think corn flakes dynasty et al) - is about a local woman who talks to dead people via the "voices" in her head. Because of this "talent" the political power "town fathers" tend to use her for "advice" like that magic 8 ball toy - "...does god still want ME to be rich?..."
