Ugandan Civil War - Primates Hardest Hit

I don’t know - this time there are just too many great headline ideas, but I could only use one.



People tend to use the term “Chimp-out”, but let Peak Stupidity tell you right here, stereotypes are real - chimps do not always act like Ross’ pet monkey on Friends.

The story on The Gateway Pundit is APE WAR: Two Chimpanzee Clans in Uganda Violently Turn on Each Other in the First Recorded Simian Conflict – And Scientists Have No Idea Why. This deal with the clans sounds like the situation in Minneapolis last Mayoral election, pretty much like that… it didn’t turn violent yet… maybe will soon, if CongressRaghead Omar arranges for more US taxpayer funding…

Hey, I should lighten up - we’re all primates here, after all, with the same hierarchies of needs and shit. The following, from a tweet in the GP post, sounds like, well, what Homo Sapiens do too… no, I mean even we straight ones:
Massive chimpanzee group in Uganda has reportedly split into rival factions & descended into a deadly “civil war”.
Some were said to be beret-wearing guerrillas… no, guerillas. The alpha males leading the factions in question here were named way back by Anthropologist Jane Goodall, IIRC, Lenin and Trotsky. Get off of me, you dirty stinking Commie apes!

Civil war in Africa, huh? I wonder if the UN will send in gorilla peacekeeping troops. The NY Post reported:
“Two adult male members of the Ngogo chimpanzee group band together and chase away rivals. ‘What followed was a series of lethal attacks by the western group on members of the central group’, the researchers wrote.

The 200 members of the ape clan were close, until the late 1980’s, when a rift caused various cliques to be formed.

“By 2015, the formerly cohesive community had split into two clans that lived and reproduced separately. […] It’s yet unclear what caused the schism. However, the researchers postulated that several adult males who acted as ambassadors between different factions died, leading to strained relations and a ‘change in the male dominance hierarchy’.”
There was a rift, and now there’s been a schism.

The parting on the left
is now a parting on the right,
and the butt hair’s just grown longer overnight.


I really do wanna hear The Who now, so I’ll feature this yet again, along with (also, again) music somewhat related to the post, Mickey’s Monkey by one of the few black rock bands ever, Mother’s Finest. The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again has EVERYTHING, a great melody, great sound, and great lyrics too. Mickey’s Monkey has lyrics that are not so… errr, even interpretable, but that’s just fine, as it has a good melody, and a great rock/funk sound. Both must be played LOUD, though, to be good songs.

There’s a good 1978 live version, but I wanted to get the best one, off the record. Tough call. This music is so good, that I really couldn’t blame Pete Townsend for smashing his guitar, instinctively!





White, black, it didn’t matter in the 1970s - everyone had his guitar distortion turned up to 8.

OK, it’s been a weak week, Peakers, so we’ll see if we can get back on our A-game next blogweek. Have a happy Sunday. Thanks for reading and writing in!

BREAKING: The UN has finally gotten involved. A new UN Resolution has just been passed, banning all shipments of black obelisks to Uganda, lest, and I quote, “… this shit really gets outta hand.”

PS

Thx. Mod - -appreciate your thougths 'n' prayers deeply -.

First night with only one pain-killer is behind me - and I feel - nearer to Joe Rogan, hehe - -my wife just told me at 1/2 past six in th morning: You're almost euphoric!

Yep people getting addicted of opium - - right. And of course - this is not only the government - -this is a reasonable - - - even deeply kantian! - - "apsect" - - philosopher Friedrich Kambartel made this term "aspect" a building stone of his philosophy. - Btw. - he was one of the five great teachers I was blessed with - starting at Kindergarten with the incredibly clear and - - - -bright 'n' - swift! - - protestant "Sister Margot" ... Kambartel is the one who did set the physics-student Sabine Hossenfelder on course against the potential reification/ axiomatisation (= the misuse) of - - - (all!) formal systems.

- He had this fromidable insight after he completed/while he worked on his mathematics-dissertation in Münster - being ca. 22 years old - - and held on to it even thouhg this was then - - I could drop a gazillion of big names like Moritz Schlick from the Vienna Circle and most of the analytical philosophers in the anglosphere and - -Sir Karl Popper - - and the then blooming Erlangen school of constructivist philosophy in Germany - - -well as mentioned - Kambartel stood the heat of going head on against the grain - - from this age of 22/24 ca. on and kept the flame burning until his death a few years ago. - I'm so glad he did!

The word "aspect" Kamabrtel made very strong is crucial here. Opium has this aspect of addiction - - - but it has a milion others too and - - Kambartel again: The thinking man will try to figure out ways to deal with more than one aspect of - a phenomenon -like a drug.
- We have to sort it better out, opium - - and not only that - - - LSD and other tings of tat kind too (Jordan B. Peterson: A huge mistake to reduce drugs to - the one aspect of- - - danger - mybe one of the biggest mistaks of our times). - - - - Ahhh one for the book-club: Ernst Jünger (now in Steve Sailers publishing house Passage Press!) - - - one of ther best nature writers and war writers (he fought in the trenches of Verdun in WW I and in the USSR in WW II - the - famous WW I book is In Stahlgewittern - In Steel Thunderstorms or some such) - well and Jünger also wrote a book about his drug experiences, which is called "Drogen und Rausch" in German - - highlight: He befriended LSD-discoverer Albert Hoffman and - accompanied Hoffmann's - LSD - experiments - - and later described them in extra-cool ways- - .

What expiration dates are concerned - - we - - -oh - - -that is long ago - - we peers had access to a pharmacy - medication dumpster for a while and took - öhh - -all kinds of things we knew or hoped would bring us up or down or take us "far ourt " & "far away from home" . . and out in the universe and stuff - - -and all of them were expired and none of them did not work, I tells ya, hehehe. - We did this not for long because - - we discovered tha tlots of 'em did not do much or even - -made you less sharp as far as your senses and experiences were concerned. - - - A very helpful formation lap in our late teens . . . it sure did help me to walk through the quite vivd "High-delberg" drug scene in these days almost like a saint. - Godspeed Peakers! - I heard the call for breakfast!

PS: That sounds like a very bad month, Dieter. I have a friend in his 70s that just medicates himself when he needs it due to, well, he just doesn't deal well with the US Gov't. Actually, that sounds bad - he just doesn't deal with them at all, so he's got none of those medicare benefits, etc. He accumulates some medicine at times - I am not sure of the shelf life on different types of medicine, but as I've told my doc before, "expiration dates are for pussies."

I gave another friend a handful of some strong Tylenol III, IV, whatever, when I didn't need them at all.

I hope you are able to come across this stuff. The excuse is people overdosing on this stuff, but now, millions of people like you suffer. That's Government for you.

I will pray that you recover completely really soon. I don't have any home remedies myself. The wife has lots, but just don't drink the wrong bottle. It was the 1000 or probably 10,000 x concentrate, and I almost died. She's not into labels so much...

No, Sauerkraut won't hurt, and the Kimchi will grow hair on your chest... if you don't already have a lot. Good evening, Dieter.

Sorry to hear about your travails, Mr. Kief. A bit of Sauerkraut or Kimchi (home-made, not pasteurised) might help to rebuild your gut biome once your Antibiotics have run their course.

Guter Besserung.

Post -surgical - wounds inside my body that other organs don't respect much - - - plus some germs I was stuffed up with at the hospital that require the second - now lighter - term of first calf-portions during during ten, now 7 days penicillin. The first round of penicillin 1750 mg/day hits combined with the wounds inside kept me up for five + hours eachch night for 20 consecutive days.

- Then there is the de-facto ban on opium in German hospitals and doctors practises - - bc. - - well - -bc. it was was decided by some people in the higher ranks maybe twenty years back and - -it then has become - - a habit.

Should I ever have to undergo another surgery and - should I then still not be willing to go the Joe Rogan way - - I ' ll make sure that I have a few dozen opium pills ready; - - as i found out, they are not even expensive - just not to get . . . for regular patients (those for which all medical treatment is free) - - you have to work your way around these regulations.

PS: So, the Bonobos are the wokest of the primates, Alarmist, excluding, of course, the non-binary semi-Sapiens that we’ve had to deal with here.

I’m more partial to the cat world. They do sometimes freak out, and all can be dangerous, but they don’t gang up on each other. They generally don’t want much to do with each other, excepting the female lions, I suppose. There’s just less drama… oh look, a squirrel… or my big toe… whatever!

PS

I was told by Julian McFarlane that Bonobos are not warlike, whatever that means. My reading suggests they are every bit as aggressive as chimps, but the interesting difference is that the females are far more aggressive against males.

PS: Hello, Mr. Kief. Yeah, most of us primates are pretty violent. People are perhaps the best of the bunch.

I’ve thankfully never had anything like that done - experience pain from wrecks and such, but it was more short-term than Mr. Joe Rogan’s Experience. What are your narcotics for?

PS - - Chimp-hoardes killing one anothe are a constant topic at Joe Rogan's EXPERIENCE - - not least because of the physical brutality chimps show.

Apropos - Joe said lately, he doesn't like pain killers (I'm constantly on them for over a month now - - - trying to get rid of them step by step...) - and narcosis makes him feel - weird - so in his last knee-replacement and a job on his nose wich seemed no simple cut too but rahter harsh work - - he rejected all of that and just lived with the pain, - because he is used to that for decades anyhow...and knows how to handle it. - - Uh uh.

PS: Yes, it was a Rock Opera. I liked that one too but even more so I liked “We’re Not Gonna Take It” from (by memory) either just before or just after “See Me, Feel Me”. It should have been the Anthem for the anti-Covid-jab crowd. The Twisted Sister song of the same name is OK, but the Who song is much better, melody-wise.

PS

Aside from the lyrics not being a good fit, I like the feel of “See me Feel me” from Tommy.
