PS: Well, due Mr. Smith sending me to those 2 PS posts from back in the Kung Flu Winter of '20, in which I mentioned a Ron Paul post, I went and looked at 2 of them. The one below is not the Ron Paul post on vaccines under which Adam Smith commented but Ron Paul also wrote:

https://www.unz.com/rpaul/on-coronavirus-we-must-not-allow-politics-to-dictate-science/#comments

It had a couple of dozen comments. This one stands out a bit - not so awful Paulish, but then, what do you want from a Chinese guy who's probably only gone to the post to put in CCP propaganda. Chinaman (his handle) in reply to the 1st line you see from a good comment by Robert Dolan

@Robert Dolan
Covid is actually an intelligence test that many people have failed.

Oh… The irony.

As a cohort, East Asians have the lowest rate of infection and the highest IQ in the world. COVID is indeed an intelligence test that proves the rule -It confirms there is a racial hierarchy in intelligence- In any case, I hope you are you saying people get COVID to pass the IQ test!

You guys have no idea how fucking stupid White people looks to Asians.

I can’t believe you guys are still arguing about the “science” Of wearing masks when China have zero local infection and its economy is already back to 100% due to early intervention,

This study is a total farce designed by really stupid “researchers”. Did anyone realize it was done in a country where no one else wear masks? The benefit of mask wearing comes from getting the infected to wear them! Not those who are fine! Some white people really have a low IQ who cannot understand simple logic..

If I am stuck in a room where 10 COVIdiot, I am going to get COVID regardless of what I wear because I can get infected if it gets into my eyeballs or even my skin ! Of course you will see similar rates of infection If everyone else you meet don’t wear masks. Surgical masks have been invented 100 years ago to prevent the infected from infecting others, not to protect those who are fine. What make this so difficult to understand!

Actually, this have nothing to do with common sense practices like mask wearing or even lockdowns, It is not even IQ…it is common decency, mental maturity and responsibility. You guys are acting like 5 year old kids.

Calling it a hoax when 250k have died is just psychopathic. You deserve to get COVID and experience the suffering that others have gone through. So glad I don’t live amongst you low IQ psychopaths.

I wonder if he had more to write in '22. I don't want to be the guy who says "I told you so, but ..."

Guess who put in a reply? You'll never.

OK, old John Johnson replied (1st line excerpted from Chinaman, if you recall):
*********************************

I can imagine.

What those Asians don’t understand is that we have two sides of establishment media that are only united in their shared contempt of the public. Both believe that the public can’t be trusted to think critically and have no regard for truth. We are in the middle of an information war and neither side wants to take a break and put public health first.

One side took the position that the virus it is nothing to worry about and anything you hear on CNN/MSNBC is exaggerated.

The other took side took the position that everything is the president’s fault and everything would be fine if not for him and red staters that don’t wear masks. But that was months after Asian countries were taking it seriously. However they have duped half the public into believing that the Democrats were on top of it.

Neither side can really explain the continued spread. There are liberal California counties with high mask usage rates along with record hospitalization rates.

I support mask wearing but it obviously isn’t enough. I suspect there are politically incorrect aspects that they aren’t telling us. There is clearly a source of spread that is defying facemask orders.

But the main point here is that most White people have a hard time parsing all the information that is put in front of them. Asian news is more formal and they aren’t constantly trying to push a political agenda. Everything is a political war at CNN and Fox. They can’t even report on a hotdog stand without some type of political spin.
*********************************
Yes, Asian (Oriental, does he mean?) news is more formal. Here is the news: We will come to your apartment and jab you. If it takes 4 Big Whites to hold you down during this process, so be it. That's the news for today.

I think I will go and say "I told you so" to this guy at some point.

PS: Geez, without the music - Ringo Starr's singing - in my head, I had to look that lyric on duckduckgo, SafeNow. I supposed if I'd been instructed to turn off the light...

Interesting. especially (2). Thanks.

PS
I was a psychology major and have always been interested in dream interpretation and related forays into the unconscious, so, for what it’s worth, here goes:

1. I learned that the dreamwork is “overdetermined.” Thus, even after you grasp what the dream is saying about your unconscious…as Marisa Tomei would say in My Cousin Vinny…There’s maw!

2. A few years ago, I succeeded, after many efforts, in “incubating” a particular dream scenario. The trick is to focus on that scenario during the brief “hypnogogic” state immediately before you fall asleep. The MIT Dream Lab once used a special wristwatch that discerned when you were hypnogogic, and then the watch would immediately tell you what to dream about. This made it much much easier to go back, specifically to …metaphor alert…”me and Susie.”

3. Freud called dreams “The Royal Road to be unconscious,” but here is what might be the next best thing. In a TAT test (thematic apperception test), the doc hands you one card after another … in each one the people in the drawing are engaged in a particular scenario, and your job is to make up a story about what is happening.. a pretty good glimpse into the unconscious. But there’s maw. Card 16 is totally blank! The shrink hands it go you and says: What do you see?

4. What would Mr. Moderator's reply to card 16 be? Probably: “I can’t tell you but I know that it’s mine.”

PS: "Lol... That's what you said last time (the first time?) you heard it.". Hah, wow, my memory is pretty good but just short!

That's amazing not that you remembered the song, but that you remembered you'd pasted it in already. I didn't read that carefully, obviously. I just copied and pasted in the link. Yeah, the search is not so easy.

I was pretty consistent at least. After watching that movie, I like Bob Dylan's music a bit more, but now I don't really listen to any music consistently, which is too bad.

I will now go find that Ron Paul post I mentioned - somewhere in Oct-Nov of that year to see what all that was about.

PS: Good morning, Mr. Moderator!

To be fair, it has been a while. (Almost five years!)

So, something mildly interesting happened today. As I was searching for the first time I posted Dylan's 115th dream the google search answered my question with the so called AI overview...

https://i.ibb.co/7xst1Bv2/peakstupidity-kbd-F4h-Bf-Qi-E.jpg

Which led me to (what was likely) the first time I posted that link...

https://peakstupidity.com/blogworks.php?action=viewbpost&id=1664

and got me reading through 30 pages of comments from an interesting time in the PS comment section. These thirty pages covered a portion of the peakstupidity of the panicfest era as well as some of the 2020 election nonsense. It was nice talking a stroll down memory lane. (Good times?)

Anyway...

Happy Sunday! ☮️

PS: "He asked what that was worth, but I resisted telling him $72, which he may very well have believed." Haha! Likely so.

I'd thought long ago that the idea of having different sized bills was that blind people could have an easier time and not get ripped. (What a-hole would do that?) I remember talking to a blind guy about this. He had to keep track of which bills were which in order in his pocket.

What I don't like is that these bills don't stack well in one's front pocket and are therefore likely to be in disarray and fall out somewhere.

How about a blind person having a hard time playing Monopoly? Is that something we should be doing something about? Everything else is going swimmingly. [/Instapundit[

PS

TSA once took an interest in the quantity of “foreign” cash I was carrying, so I told him 2,000 Euros. He asked what that was worth, but I resisted telling him $72, which he may very well have believed.

The interesting thing about foreign funny money versus the greenback is that all greenback denominations are the same size, and many foreign funny monies have different sizes for different denominations. Monopoly Money is all the same size. Makes you wonder what money is real.

PS: I'd never heard that Bob Dylan song in my life before, Adam. Great lyrics! I wonder what his first 114 dreams were like.

Maybe next time I'll embed John Lennon's #9 Dream.

Good morning.

PS: Good evening, Mr. Moderator...

I hadn't heard that Dream Academy song in years. (And for a million bucks I couldn't have told you who wrote/performed it.) Thanks!

I know I've shared this one before but it seems appropriate here...
