Hive intelligence is fascinating to study. Scientists have long ago realized that the queen bee, ant, or termite has nothing to do with the organization of the hive. No, each member of the hive does what instinct tells it to do at any given moment. The collective choices of all the members determine what the…

A.I. and Honesty in Politics
by renaissanceadmin • • 1 Comment
I didn’t watch the political debates last week. I have never been in doubt who I’m voting for, and I couldn’t bear to watch Pierre Poilievre posture and telll lies for that long. And then I watched the news report, and the first person quoted was PP, telling two lies. He accused Mark Carney…

Poilievre’s Security Check.

This is going to be my shortest post ever, ‘cause I’m asking you to use your imaginations. Occam’s Razor If there’s only one “what if?” in your conclusion, you’ve probably got the right answer. If you ask the right question. The Right Question: Why might anybody not want a security check? Now apply that answer…

Pierre Who?

Carney’s image from Wikipedia I have covered this ground before, but today I take special glee in Friday’s showing on the federal political scene, because I could have written the script two years ago. I warned the Conservatives. I have said clearly many times that investing all your political eggs in one basket of hatred…

The Liberals have had their strategy for the next election simplified for them; whatever they do, they’re going to lose. It’s only a matter of how badly. Which leaves them with a pared-down decision field. Only Two Elements to Consider: First, the incredible power of the “change at any cost” stupidity. Second, the reluctance…

His Own Worst Enemy

Let’s show some sympathy for those unfortunate people who have charisma. All their lives, people have liked them. They don’t know why. All they know is that if they smile and say the right kind of things, people will agree with them and even follow them. That works just fine, and they have happy and…

The Man Who Cannot Lose

Donald Trump is probably going to lose the election. “Ah,” you say. “But the polls say it’s a neck-and-neck race.” Not precisely true. Most of the information we have doesn’t come from the polling companies. It’s filtered through people who slant it the way that suits them. The polls give Harris the edge, but the…

How Stupid Are Voters?
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
If one were to follow the media (especially the leftist variety) lately, one might get the impression that about half the voters in US and Canada are completely brain dead. As I discovered when I researched my book, “Why Are People so Stupid?” they usually aren’t. Illogical perhaps. Stupid, no. So, with a B. C.…

Trump “Wins” Debate
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Okay, before you get all upset, Kamala Harris won the debate part of the debate. She did a marvelous job of everything she wanted to do. She was strong, presidential and effective. She dominated her opponent, led him around by the nose, and all those things her supporters say she did. With her help, he…

Kamala’s Tasks
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
The Democrats seem to have learned their lesson. Left wingers in the United States have benefitted from the minority rule bestowed on them for the last 50 years by the First Past the Post electoral system, and they have become a bit too big for their britches. They have used this time in power to…
