Would you drink desalinated seawater? Recycled sewage water?

Of course. We are doing it all the time. And it is just the beginning of a new era.

Napoleon Hill was right

A good self help booklet of my past was Think and Get Rich by Napoleon Hill. He advised to imagine several figures, each with its own personality and point of view, and maintain a virtual debate (all in one's mind) about what to do. Say, I visualize my virtual advisers or "ascended masters" as Mel Brooks (pic), Victor Davis Hanson, my friend Pablito Kahan, Soros Gyuri, my dear Mother, etc. each one offering their personal point of view.  

Now I read a paper evaluating the effectivity of this method, which resembles the mind of machine learning, and it works! Source. 

Colonial Settler Studies

I received an academic paper  from a post-doc about Disabling Bodies of/and Land: Reframing Disability Justice in Conversation with Indigenous Theory and Activism. 

"By highlighting Indigenous struggles to protect Mother Earth and her sacred resources, we suggest that Indigenous ontology-specifically relationships to land (Deloria, 1972)-challenges disability theory at the epistemological level by rejecting the taken-for-granted dualism between the environment and (dis/abled) humans within (settler) disability studies."

What can I add? She also wrote a lot about horses and Indians. 

PS: Having written lately a number of academic papers in English, I feel capable of preparing a paper on Palestine using the latest Colonial Settler studies slang. I mean, you had those Aramaic speaking Jewish peasant villages in the Galilee that were brutally colonized during the 6th Century Arab invasion. The beautiful synagogues were leveled and the natives were reduced to second class status, and forced to pay extra heavy taxes. Their language was replaced by the colonist language and religion. By the 20th Century, to quote the above author, they were still "heroically struggling to protect the Mother Earth and her sacred resources". 

Hungarian nationalism

Hungary is a homogeneous, stable, middle-income European country, that has been losing population every year in the last forty years. Its leader, Orban, made the increase of native births the theme of his government. The European Union adopted immigration as the preferred solution. For his rebellion, Orban is being converted into an international pariah and subject of internet attacks. Example below where he is improbably linked to two evil entities: Russia and the American right.

"It is characteristic that the government-supported XI^th World Congress in Budapest, organised by the Word Congress of Families (WCF), was closely tied to the government’s demographic forum. The Congress is mainly known for being a summit of Russian organisations disseminating the Kremlin’s propaganda and American far-right fundamentalists. "

I was born in Jaszbereny, in the very center of Hungary, and am able to feel Hungarian angst and impotence, and also evaluate objectively the effectivity of Orban's policies. Which is nil. On the other hand, I am surprised by Hungarian xenophobia, since traditionally it was very welcoming to immigrants such as Germans, Jews and other peoples. Hungarians themselves are a mixture of those immigrants.

Growing older as I am, I understand the desperate need of European peoples for young workers. I had bought a new faucet but the connection is deep under the sink and am unable to install it. The plumbers around are wealthy middle aged people, refuse to try dismantle the old one and replace it. I would be ready to pay (but not much) to a slim Eritrean to help me, against my personal convictions, but is none available. Importing a foreign working class like Germany and Sweden is doing, would empty Zionism of any meaning, and would surely lead to a South African situation.

The solution to Hungary's problem is to revert to a pre-French Revolution regime, where Church is part of the State and education is its monopoly. The capitalist economy based on consumer demand must be abolished, living standards lowered and demand created by hi-tech wars. Where did exist a society like that? Maybe Japan in the thirties. But I would not like to live there, for sure.

Korean Ballistic Anti-Ballistic Missile

Japan has announced that the last ballistic missile fired by North Korea did not follow a regular trajectory, making it difficult to shot it down. Ballistic objects fall at fantastic velocities from space, but once they are ballistic their trajectory follows Newtonian rules  which can be calculated and the object intercepted. Now it appears that Korean ballistic missiles can change route in flight and maneuver to confuse the antiballistic missile. I think should one missile miscalculate and humiliate the Japanese, America will give them free hand to restore their honor. Who will defend the Koreans? They have no allies.

The Japanese have. Seventy years of peace and prosperity have softened but not castrated the Japanese nation. In six month they can change direction and reinvent themselves as the martial people they always were. In Lagos I worked for a Dutch colonial who invited me to an Indonesian lunch. He had known the Japanese in Bandung and hated them with white hot passion. 

Antiballistic missile

It was announced that an Israeli antiballistic missile was successfully tried in Alaska. That means that we have some defense even if Iran produces nuclear weapons and sends it by the ballistic missile it already has. I just thought about the commercial applications of this new Israeli product. All European countries are exposed to nuclear missiles and they are protected by NATO. Japan is naked in face of North Korea's missiles. Australia may want to have one too. The market for this new weapon must be vast. We may be competing with the US but the world is big enough for all of us. Maybe we can't sell it because of American veto. In short, I know nothing. I do know I am losing a lot of money on the Israeli Communication Satellite company shares. BTW, wanted to order lithium batteries for my sweeper robot but the Chinese stopped selling them.

I assumed that they wanted to keep Lithium for themselves, but apparently methamphetamine labs buy these batteries as reducing agent. Anyway, I ordered a set from Turkey.
