 The typhoonish weather continues.  I don’t know when I’ll go to Wuxi.  Surely, the subway isn’t in operation 

Continued thoughts on the Jiangyin Friendship event I attended yesterday:

I like Filipinos.  They’re fun, kind people who love to sing and dance.  One I meet last night told me ha had relatives in Winnipeg.  He told he had heard it was cold there and  asked me what it was that they needed workers for: oil and gas?  It wasn’t that I told him.  I was then baffled as to what Manitoba’s economic purpose was.

I just heard that they have tried to assassinate Trump again.  Shots were fired.  Thankfully, they missed.  This attempt will probably be memory-holed like the first one.  If Trump doesn’t win the next election, it will be a time of evil.

Here’s a thought:  in two hundred years, historians will look at the social revolutions of the 20th and 21st century — lbgqt and all that — as an enlightenment, even though it looks messy now.  Not my thought so here are my responses :

- sounds like “you need to break eggs to make an omelet.”

- it is a cliche used by progressives to say that history will judge their policies as effective or that history is on their side.  Says NGD:  “History buries, without solving, the problems it raises.”;  “History shows not the inefficient of actions but the futility of intentions.”; “ The history of man is not the catalog of his situations, but the account of his unpredictable ways of using them.”;  “The individual believes in the “meaning of history” when the foreseeable future appears favorable to his passions.”   Why don’t they say that God will judge?

- So what you’re saying is for now, we’re screwed.  That is all living people.

- there are still plenty of people making solid arguments against the last enlightenment.

- most of humanity finds this social revolution unpalatable and always will.
