@farmerman,
Quote:When you say that you "suspect" the veracity of some conclusion based upon sveral layers of evidence you need to realize that this vidence is a huge web of meta data.
Which serves four purposes--
1--To prove that it is respectable to wank, to shag unmarried women, to shag the wives of other men, to shag blokes, to kill unborn babies, to make marriage a business deal, to facilitate the spaying of women with mechanical devices, chemicals and surgical operations and, somewhat illogically, to allow ladies to perform sacredotal functions as was the case with priestesses of the more notorious Pagan mystery religions. The wide dissemination of pornographic images, and the use of them as a spur to the buying impulse, will of necessity flood the ocean of images and lead to the re-establishment of matriarchy.
2--To further expand the web of meta data with banal and repetitive observations so that the averagely intelligent sons and daughters of the kept classes can be found something to do which keeps them off the streets and permits them to imagine that they are not averagely intelligent.
3--To boss the population with aggressive and unusual verbalisations.
4--To shipwreck our society and cast it up on a shore in a totalitarian wilderness.
I can't see any other uses the huge web of meta data might have. That a blowhole is a migrated nostril is about as much use as a fart on the dark side of the moon.
