   It's possible the Mayans referred to previous civilizations as previous humanities. And they might indeed have thought in terms of Humanities as representing a step above Savage and as such Humanities were to be represented by superior symbols.

   It would certainly make sense to see the influence of Sea People on the decline of the Bronze Age and the rise of the Iron Age as a movement from one Humanity to another Humanity. Here you'd have to think of a Humanity as a description of how we people arranged ourselves so that together we might be in the world as a Humanity, a collection of people, rather than a civilization.

  But no! Civilization is defined this way : a descriptive term for a specific type of large-scale, complex social and economic organization. The specifics are thus : urbanization, food surplus, division of labor, social stratification, record keeping, central government.

  The first recorded civilizations begin to appears 4 to 6,000 years ago. They include remains of towns and cities along Mesopotamian rivers, again along the Indus Valley, in South America, can't forget the Ancient Egyptians 5000 years ago, there's the sacred city of Caral on the coast of Peru and the Mayans of Central America who flourished and floundered from 2000 BC into 250 AD 

  As far as we know Humanities began to appear around 300,000 years ago.

   When a communications officer in the Republican Party's White House calls a fellow communicator "a racist and a retard" it pretty much encapsulates the ruptured relationship between Ideal and Material we usefully explored a few dozen months ago when we joyfully wallowed in the July 1930 meeting between Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore.

  In modern terms that discussion can be framed as a debate between Einstein's Clickbait and Tagore's Clickbait. Back then, before the monetized retardation of the Tech Bros this debate was more respectably framed as a debate between Objective Reality and Human Dependent Reality. 

  Having endured preaching on the subject we all know that even for physicists it's a bit of both, so our question today is thusly : will the mistakes from the Adam Smith's of the 21st Century be more enamored of Objective Reality or of a Human Dependent Reality.

    What is the difference between a Joke, Singularity and a Ponzi Scheme. 

   Comedians are familiar with Paradigm Shifts. When you ask why, it's because a joke, funniness, harvests sudden movements in the direction of thought which produce chemical changes in the body, it's a eureka moment that puts a smile on the face, a glow to the system.

  In physics a Singularity is a point in time and/or space where the usual mathematics doesn't happen. Amongst the Tech Type people Singularity is when, what they call Artificial Intelligence or Gulf of America Intelligence takes over from what some call Human Intelligence.

  A "Robbing Peter to pay Paul" or Ponzi Scheme goes this way: To keep your promise to Paul you have to get money from Peter. The money you now owe Peter will have to come from someone.

  The picture you paint frames a predictive impression of tomorrow. 

  

Talk is Cheap, so are pictures

Asparagus gone to seed

     Please note that Madison Avenue 101 has nothing to do with the word true and this is why no sentient being should ever take what any class of politician says seriously.

  Witness the KGB practice of Reflexive Control which goes this way: "Rather than using brute physical power, reflexive control is the practice of predetermining an adversary's decisions by feeding them specially prepared information."

  One tradition in this area is to terrify the shit out of people so they kick out everyone who isn't a White Christian English Speaker or in the Russian case kick out everyone who isn't White Russian Speaking supporter of Vladimir Putin. In Russia, since Ivan III kicked the Mongols out of Moscow, the word Nerus, which literally means Not Russian, is a derogatory expression along the lines of retarded, idiotic moronic virtue signalling libtard. The Russian elite, increasingly supported by the Gop-elite and despite the best efforts of Russian Cinema, have referred to Black Africans as Monkeys since Lenin and DJT. 

  Here we go! You decide what you want people to think. You create a picture, draw attention to the picture, watch as people react to the picture, you then move on to part two which is to create another picture that has learned from the first picture and you use the new picture to reinforce those parts of the first picture that created the greatest stir.

  Tech Bros anyone!!!!
