"military discipline is not..."

things change...everything can get cracked...

some things even wobble...and get out of focus...

and we can often be little more than tracks in the sand...

we are little more than shadows in eternity...well thats about enough of temporal philosophic musings...but ms. Sabine Hossenfelder has a good presentation called "I believe the future already exists' (13 min)...some food for thought...Dr. Huberman has a good practical bit of advise called "optimize your workspace for maximum productivity" (30 min)...and since there seems to be some disagreement in the ranks of government a good historical acount of this is "Why american soldiers started killing their own officers in vietnam" by simon whistler at 'into the shadows'...this just in on the radio..european nations sending troops to greenland... interesting developement...also a good presentation but very well done is "3 best and 3 worst chicken breeds" opinions of a breeder and homesteader (10 min)i am not sure why she kept the worst chicken breed but this illustrates the several thousand year quest to improve domestic animal characteristics...also the third shakespeare play discussed by "Philosophize this" (#243)presenter steven west is about Hamlet..a deep dive into the philospophy and psychology of this play..very well done... you have to pay attention or the important stuff gets by you...and "the genetic history of europe" with j.Krause(20 min)this guy points out that immigration and migration has always been a part of human history...get over it!..."I built 50 boxes for wildlife-here's what happened" the wildlife homestead...a good look at what human enhancement of the environment can do to improve the lives of wildlife (we are the ones that made it worse for critters)...i heard on "birdnotes" that ms. Ricki Lee in new orleans is putting out water and groceries for the birds...glad to hear it!..."What reading does to your brain" on "closed stacks" (9min)..some good information here...and i must comment on music and its effects on my mood...the Adele song "someone like you" as presented at her royal albert hall concert always makes me cry...and apparently half the people in the audiance are similarly effected...the Santana @woodstock tune "soul sacrifice" always makes me inspired and the XTC tune "dear god" makes my angry ...i don't know why...most of the stuff on "postmodern jukebox" is well done and i really like "ain't no rest for the wicked" featuring Joey Cook and "all about that bass" is a good bit of music and vocals... "...military discipline is not a given, it is a fragile contract, based on legitamacy. When its moral authority, in the eyes of its own soldiers, when the mission seems pointless, the leadership seems indifferent, and the sacrifice seems unequal, that contract disolves." from "Why american soldiers started killing their own officers" on youtube
