Listening to the audiobook, Jerusalem by Alan Moore He's my favorite comic writer. He wrote, Watchman, V for Vendetta, and much more. I'm on chapter 2 right now. The many characters and details are hard to follow but It feels a bit like an adult version of a Narnia book. I suspect it will be more pagan as the story moves along, but he understands the Christian heritage of England. Have you read it? #alanMoore #jerusalem

# Is Congress Effective? Today I have listened to many hours of Congressional hearings as they've been offered up by YouTube. They sound stern and important but they have gotten no substantial answers. ## Has anyone considered letting Tucker Carlson take over the questioning? ### Joking of course. It wouldn't matter anyway, none of these people give an answer. There's a lot of time devoted to explaining why they cannot answer, but I haven't heard a direct or an appropriate answer yet. This is a huge amount of wasteful spending, and these guys recently gave themselves a raise. # Who are they trying to kid?

# An Argument for Short Notes I love the freedom of long notes that Nostr provides. Still I think it can be generally advantageous to limit the size of your notes. ***Offer only your best argument. If you offer another, that is the one others will argue against.*** What's your best argument for a short post?

# Don't Feed the Trolls My posts are meant to make people think and act as discussion starters. So yes, they are provocative. I fancy myself somewhat of a conversational provocateur. **BUT** Occasionally, I catch a troll. Trolls are identifiable by looking for a few discernible traits. 1. They claim to understand the subject matter better than you but are unwilling to share that knowledge. 2. Instead, they engage primarily in ad hominem and other fallacies. 3. Like those men that stare at goats, they make claims on your motives as if they know you. 4. Their tone is irrationally angry. Like you hurt their feelings somehow, or killed their dog. You cannot rationalize with the butt hurt. 5. Trying to engage with such posts merely returns more of the same. # PLEASE ## Don't Feed the Trolls Send a biting meme and move on with your life. It's too short to tolerate their ilk. If necessary, go ahead and block them. Better still, block them if they are trolling someone else. When it fails to keep your attention it moves on to bother someone else. Unless of course they are a professional whore working for "Homeland Security" But normal hobby trolls get bored over time and move on. I hope this helps you to identify and remember not to feed the trolls #dontFeedTrolls #growNostr # PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE # DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

To pretend that the US is not at war with Russia is to ignore the fact that without US dollars the war would be over.

# The Pareto Principle Are you familiar with the Pareto principle? If so, can you use this to your advantage? Or is it a condition in which you're hopelessly trapped? I can see both points of view. I think it probably cannot be escaped until you understand it. Even then it might just make you understand why you're stuck, or successful.
