Central planning is insane. Ending the Depression through Planned Obsolescence By Bernard London 1933 “In the present inadequate economic organization of society, far too much is staked on the unpredictable whims and caprices of the consumer. Changing habits of consumption have destroyed property values and opportunities for employment. The welfare of society has been left to pure chance and accident. People everywhere are today disobeying the law of[Pg 5] obsolescence. They are using their old cars, their old tires, their old radios and their old clothing much longer than statisticians had expected on the basis of earlier experience. The question before the American people is whether they want to risk their future on such continued planless, haphazard, fickle attitudes of owners of ships and shoes and sealing wax.”

Josh Billings said: “It isn’t ignorance that causes the trouble in this world; it is the things that folks know that ain’t so.”

Misinformation is a label given to information that someone is very keen for you to dismiss. As such, it is well worth looking at closely and thinking critically about it.

Canola oil started out as an engine lubricant and as fuel for generating light, but these days it can be found in kitchens all across the world. So how did that transition happen? Canola is a type of rapeseed which has for centuries been used to produce oil for things such as lamps or as a lubricant for industrial machines. You’ve probably driven past canola fields at some point – recognizable by their vivid yellow color. It’s known to be one of the world’s oldest cultivated plants and was first recorded as being used for oil lamps in the 13th century in Europe. During the Second World, Canada produced huge amounts of rapeseed in order to lubricate aircraft, ship engines and other machines. Early versions of “edible” Canola oil were immediately toxic . The challenge was to get rid of the toxins Erucic acid and glucosinolate. It took a several decades to achieve the desired product. Finally, two individuals at the University of Manitoba, Canada – Richard Downey and Baldur Stefansson, came up with the breakthrough to turn an ‘engine’ oil into a super cheap cooking oil which is now just slowly toxic. Their product became known as ‘canola’ – which actually stands for Canadian oil, low acid.

Call me old-fashioned, but it seems obvious that it should be a basic courtesy to zap someone if you intend to take what they’ve made and post it from your own account to collect zaps for yourself. 🤷‍♂️ View quoted note →
