America under the influence of the Szar Evő conspiracy

Thinking on the net zero water house idea, I suddenly realized that the American Government has fallen under the influence of the occult followers of the cryptic conspiratorial "szarevo" philosophy.

The remote origin of the szarevo school is unknown  (although it was already known in the Antiquity as skatophagos), but in my times in Hungary it was widespread among Jewish and Calvinist upper-middle-class people with comfortable living standards, who did not publicly declare their doctrine but anyway, they were easily identified by their bizarre behavior,  The szarevo secret philosophy maintains that to waste is a mortal sin, and although they are wealthy they live like beggars and force extreme austerity on their families, servants, friends. In fact, the etymology of szar-evo is shit-eaters. I do not know if they drink their urine and eat (mixed with the cheapest rotten bread crumbs) their own excrements. If they do not do so, they act suspiciously like that. In school, I had a colleague called Fermin, who masturbated daily (as we all used to do) and collected the sperm in a bottle, which he kept in the kitchen refrigerator. He had not worked yet out what he would do with the increasing amount of sperm, but he strongly felt that it should not be wasted and flushed down the toilet.

Are the szarevo an organized sect secretly imposing their esoteric doctrine on the Government and the American people? Considering the bizarre and extreme recycling scheme of the net zero water house idea, they must certainly be very influential. They have convinced Americans that waste is a sin against the Planet, and having the world's most efficient water infrastructure and illimited freshwater resources in the Great Lakes and their majestic rivers, they should go thirsty and/or drink their own piss. We need a non-antisemite twin of Prof. Kevin MacDonald to write a book about how a handful of Hungarian szarevo refugees infiltrated American Government and is forcing the whole county to follow their bizarre eating habits. They are dictating to build stinking expensive homes and to live in them, and unnecessarily recycle all at a large cost.

Net Zero Water Building

The American Government has developed the idea of net zero building  (see scheme below) and now that I see it in its official configuration, I say it is unsustainable, it is fantastic money burning machine, pure unadulterated, preservers-free nonsense. It requires about ten times the length of piping of a conventional house, many pumps, and control systems, it requires space to connect all these pipes (and space within the building is very scarce), it requires a spacious underground basements (with lighting and air conditioning), it requires two underground water tanks (and a large one for fire fighting, did they forget?) and two water and sewage purification facilities (consuming lots of energy and chemicals) and so. The maintenance of two WWTPs is a headache, just think of the amount of plumbing work required to maintain a simple conventional building. What if the electricity supply is unreliable? The sewage will rot and contaminate the building? The health risks of a conventional building are serious, imagine how dangerous will be here, having abandoned the proven, centuries-old concept of disposing of the sewage immediately and as far as possible from the building, here it is storing and manipulating it. The chemical disinfectants like chlorine and additives like flocculants required are, in themselves, a pollution source. It is a nightmare, I would not live in such a bad-smelling, dirty, polluted, unhealthy house.

On the other hand, the water and sewage supplied by the municipalities are perfectly good and very inexpensive. Why should we want to disconnect from public services? The concept is sick and crazy.

Deplatforming

Ten years old Heartiste blog just disappeared from the internet and nothing related to it can be found through google or other search machines. It was a gross and offensive etzesgibber (advice-giver) about how to seduce girls. Once I commented on the blog that cynically manipulating a girl into the feeling that she was developing a stable relationship only to leave her was immoral. Not that I never did abandon a lover, but I always believed bona fide that I was to marry the girl in question. I always suffered much in the break-up and was never cynical or exploitative.

The epidemy of deplatforming is raging all over the internet. Spandrell is moving his blog out of the public sphere to a private address, in a futile anticipatory move. I commented that it is useless because in a totalitarian environment there is no place to hide, only strict secrecy and camouflage. He should know because he is from the former Soviet Union (I presume). 

The Eight Wonder of the World

"Start saving young" is a good advise, because compound interest is a miracle. Looking back (I have more past than future) I owe my present relative prosperity to early accumulation added to my parents' hard work and saving.

But there is more to that. My current abundance of projects is a direct consequence of thirty years of work and writing articles and books with no immediate monetary or prestige results. Suddenly I am known and strangers beg me to manage their projects. For long it was like my work was not noticed, but it was and now it is producing fruits.

I tried to have children while young, but it did not work out as planned. Having children was much more difficult than imagined and took much more time. Anyway, now my children are producing marvelous grandchildren, making me happy. Compound interest equation is working also here.

Bullshit Jobs: Permitting

"In the year 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted that, by century's end, technology would have advanced sufficiently that countries like Great Britain or the United States would have achieved a 15-hour work week. There's every reason to believe he was right. In technological terms, we are quite capable of this. And yet it didn't happen. 

Instead, technology has been marshaled, if anything, to figure out ways to make us all work more. In order to achieve this, jobs have had to be created that are, effectively, pointless. Huge swathes of people, in Europe and North America in particular, spend their entire working lives performing tasks they secretly believe do not really need to be performed. 

The moral and spiritual damage that comes from this situation is profound. It is a scar across our collective soul. Yet virtually no one talks about it." Source.

How do they know me? How do they know what I am thinking all the time? I spend most of my working time on fulfilling permitting demands, forms and the caprices of regulators (typically a middle-aged educated female trying to tell herself that she is doing something vital, important).

My only salvation is being paid. Sometimes, because my clients are aware of the futility of the permitting obligation and the waste of its cost and the consequent investments it always implies. They demand from ME (ME!) an explanation  why they should spend money on fighting imaginary, non-existent risks to the Earth (like my zero water and energy consuming projects). I have no convincing answers. 

"It's Frankensteen":

Brilliant.

What to do with myself?

I find myself nearing the end of my life, after having achieved my life goals, and still healthy and no diseases. I still have all my teeth and dream wet dreams. I took a long, enjoyable vacation in City Island, and now back home am rolling up my unfinished projects. It is boring. There are several interesting openings, but thinking them over, I realize I have done the same things in the past.  Well, I cannot sleep and drink and read about English landowning aristocrats all day long. I'll be active and engaged, something will come up.
