Just one of those mornings when you wake up wishing you were sleeping side by side with a young Alec Baldwin.
It’s important for me to put this on my blog due to reasons.
In all of the elite media’s stories about offshoring and the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) “education crisis,” does the term “education” no longer mean “learning a set of skills”? Does it in practice now mean American workers learning not new technological crafts, but learning to quietly accept the wage, labor and human rights standards of China — the standards we thankfully improved after our own crushing Industrial Age a century ago? In short, does “education” now mean “teaching American workers to be subservient”?
The answer, almost certainly, is yes, because that’s the only way that the media and political establishment’s entire “education crisis” meme makes any logical sense.

HEALTH officials are paid to feel apprehensive. For some years they have feared that tuberculosis (TB), an ancient scourge tamed by modern drugs, might evolve into a new, indestructible state. New strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis have already emerged, some resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin, two of the best known treatments, and some resistant to additional injected drugs. The advent of completely resistant TB seemed inevitable. Now it may have arrived.
On January 17th doctors in Mumbai declared that a dozen patients at Hinduja National Hospital had contracted TB that responded to no treatment. Three had already died. If the claim is proven true, it would usher a new era for an old foe.
M. tuberculosis does its dirty work mainly in the lungs, where it destroys tissue. A cough, sneeze or even idle chatter can propel the bacterium into the air, then into the lungs of another person. In the 20th century antibiotics helped to quash TB in much of the rich world. But the bacterium has mutated.
This is very, very bad news.

…It’s not just that everything we once committed to memory we now store externally on devices that crash or become obsolete or are rendered temporarily inaccessible due to lack of coverage. And it’s not that we spend a lot of time storing, organizing, pruning and maintaining our access to it all. It’s that we’re collectively engaged in a mass conversion of what we used to call, variously, records, accounts, entries, archives, registers, collections, keepsakes, catalogs, testimonies and memories into, simply, data.
I think one scientifically, psychologically validated reason for not making the most of one’s happiness is investing in the wrong kind of acquisitions. If you have some money to spend and you spend it on buying goods that’s not nearly as effective in making you happy in the long run as buying experiences. If you buy an experience, you can basically revisit it and enjoy it over and over again, whereas with material goods, the fun goes away. Running the risk of sounding too corny, quality time with yourself, with your family and with nature is worth a lot.
