Clapping Seals and Blind Faith in the Carrier Wave

The lack of critical thinking and the lack of anything even remotely resembling a coherent set of responses to our many problems and predicaments spells trouble. Maybe we’ve lost a few too many vital IQ points somehow…

The entire convention was an odd mix of envy, resentment, and whipping up false fears about the people on the other side.

But Harris’ speech was 2/3^rds empty rhetoric, 1/3^rd hating on what she projected Trump might be or do, and 0/3^rds actionable, evaluable policies.

Here are a few things that weren’t mentioned:

Any mention of the deficits DC is running
Any plan for containing spending
No mention of defense budgets or plans
Nothing at all about energy or energy policy
No plans for infrastructure repair
No mention of the US’s terrible standing on such basics as educational attainment or life expectancy
Nothing at all about ruinous increases in insurance costs
Nothing about inflation.
Nothing at all about ending all the various wars the US is supporting
No mention of the fentanyl crisis and the implied crisis of despair

The assembled faithful at the DNC convention seemed like props to me, like clapping seals in a sad Sea World matinee show.
