(1059) Almost elevenses, folks. Cunning plan is that this takes us through elevenses (next polit-post being around 1700) … my visitor will arrive (through till about 1700), film will go up just past noon, then an item on a very strange car, then a break until 1700, a mini-hiatus. (1059)

 

15. Lord Toby’s Daily Sceptic

It’s possible this was run yesterday or the day before, no time to check now. My beef is this ridiculous “paywall” thing for blogs.

13. Just as the woke Establishment, the Globopsycho

… take every opportunity to exploit division, say, between Reform and Restore, siding with Reform to castigate Restore for “splitting the vote” … and just as it’s a non argument because the gang at the top of Reform are woke Establishment, whilst many supporters are soft right, not understanding the extent of the situation … so it is in the nominally Christian world.

One of the key dividers is denominations, where believers split according to their preferred priesthood, from sunworshipping and Mary worshipping in Rome to the falling about hysterically, egged on by a priest … the young Scot went into that. The C of E has become a joke.

So no, I do not wish to “split” the Christian world or scream, “Blasphemy!” like John Cleese in Life of Brian but at the same time … Rainbow churches? Running drug raves in cathedrals? And even were I to say that that’s all just deviation from the Word, the Bulls of Bashan surround a person saying “no denominations” but that’s only part of it.

Another is “gilding the lily” such as is done by the Meteorological Office, putting recording equipment at the end of runways etc. to “prove” warble gloaming”. If a Christian can point to the Word and be sceptical of ML (framed as AI), be sceptical of grok and all the others, which admittedly I’ve used twice in the food items below, then this below does not help at all:

No, “proof” has most certainly NOT been shown, not conclusively.

The issue is that another post ran the text of thus WSA man’s post (where he paraphrases what was said by these AI places) and the platforms were NOT speaking so simplistically. Stay with me a mo on this. Yes, WSA was right, imho, that platforms are biased, certainly antiChristian, soft on Malsi … there’s evidence of that … but not in the specific blurbs by those companies.

My gripe is that in his enthusiasm to outrage the reader, he is vulnerable on a charge of inaccuracy … a pedant can easily just quote the text of Gemini for example … then claim Wall Street Apes is debunked. My gripe is that, in gilding the lily, in interpreting Gemini indtead of quoting it … and our “droppers at Unherdables do drop receipts, links etc. … the WSA, far from winning an argument, has effectively undercut that argument.

Or was that the intention all along? It’s a scholastic gripe, this.
