Due to the work involved in resurrecting my Idea Enhancement and my Art websites; I haven’t finished any new blogs — but there is a considerable amount in the pipeline for coming months and for 2021.
An umbrella theme of “All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” will shelter a variety of projects and blogged comments on local issues:
- “May the Source be with you” uses the Lake Source Cooling as an example of how corporations can acquire fast-track approval and bypass regulatory barriers. It proves there is more to corporate planning than just a “Fox guarding the hen house” strategy; and shows how a judicious admixture of in-house studies and policy formulation can create a barrier to unwanted interference; and insure the “deniability of liability” factor that is so important down the road.
- “The Greater Good” examines what would happen if our County’s policies were actually enacted for the greater good. Politicians, Bureaucrats, and the Elite always justify their actions with claims of “The Greater Good” — isn’t it time we explored what the greater good might actually be; and how disastrous it would be to these same policy deciders. In a county where everyone agrees there is no meaningful public participation: this blog may give readers a little vicarious “payback” – and maybe start something . . .
- “Stories of Cornithaca County” will showcase tales of activities and incidents as only rural residents can remember and relate — by exchanging the “4-year memory” of our college town, with the four-generation memory of our county’s rural community. Rural residents are unconsidered and unnoticed: they are like servants in the halls of the “great”; they know the family secrets, and where they are buried. These stories are a refreshing departure from the endless flow of self-serving handouts that constitute the usual information offerings.
- “The ‘Lossy’ System” In information technology, lossy data encoding methods use inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. This technology strips out data regarded as either unnecessary or redundant to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. The process is irreversible. This blog will discuss how our county’s elite decision makers make use of lossy methods in creating policies and perceptions
- “Get Off the High Ground” makes a direct and straightforward comparison between the beliefs and actions of our most revered advocates of compassion and human worth, and those of modern doctrine-holders. The results are clear-cut; and will cut deep.
- “New Normal Politics” with the take-your-breath-away-dismissiveness of their “Somebody has to take the hit” user philosophy; New Normal politicians sense who is weak and injured, separate them from the herd, and attack. It’s no wonder that with the massive disruption and death of our country’s elderly; these users are swooping in to tear off big chunks of the Medicare funding our seniors have paid into for decades. In the words of “Bigotry: The Musical”:
Each law I make helps me to take
What others sweat to build
They’ve got a nerve, cause I deserve
My every wish fulfilled
Cornithaca County’s Elitist Policy Making continues unabashed and unabated; like the stream of effluent from a TDML pipe.
Maybe this is a blog after all.
