Gamergate and Terri Schaivo (Comparison/Contrast) stealthbadger 2015-11-01 | My in-game name is SteelShrike, for those of you who play Warframe.I do not expect this video to be taken well by people who are heavily invested in one side or the other of this conflict.Upton Sinclair said "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" I would expand that to include things like self-esteem and general enjoyment. Since talking about GamerGate has become a paycheck or two (or more) for some people, it becomes unthinkingly natural for them to find things to say about it, and make connections that aren't necessarily there.As far as trolls, well, in any fight, there are those in the sidelines egging them on, who have been handed (by all participants) a description of exactly what they're outraged about the most, which they use as a playbook to get attention and reactions.The conflict over Gamergate is (like all things ending in -gate) a stupid distortion of real problems into a spectacle that continues only because it rewards so many people for being outrageously awful to each other, and to draw baseless conclusions implicating the other in all sorts of plots and schemes.We will all be better off when it's over, and this is the only video I will make on the subject (unless the comments give me fodder for a reply that isn't as toxic as the conflict itself). I hope it's the last time I talk about it, too. I'd turn off the comments, but I am morbidly curious as to what the reactions will be. The fact that an offensive/blatantly untrue/baselessly accusing comment may or may be deleted because reasons. If your comment indicates you only listened to the first few minutes on the topic, I also might delete it, again, because reasons.Then again, I may get lucky and this video might be ignored by everyone involved. :DYes, my nose is stuffed up. ;P

Wicked Problems and Simple-mindedness stealthbadger 2012-07-26 | 1. http://www.swemorph.com/wp.html2. http://hbr.org/2008/05/strategy-as-a-wicked-problem/ar/13. http://www.leanessays.com/2002/01/wicked-problems.htmlAnd oh yeah, because it's there and links to other sources:4. http://www.apsc.gov.au/publications-and-media/archive/publications-archive/tackling-wicked-problems This is awesome!5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problems6 & 7 thanks to beechgrovejoe, who reminded me about Goedel's role in knocking this simplistic mindset for a loop.6. On Goedel and Incompleteness, because it's topical as hell:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems7. More on Goedel and Incompleteness, going full circle to a weak comparison with the theological problem of Evil (still knocking the rust off of my Logic as I dig through this one).http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~dale/godel/godel.html----------[1] First, let us look at what characterises a tame problem (comp. Conklin, J, 2001, p.11). A tame problem * has a relatively well-defined and stable problem statement. * has a definite stopping point, i.e. we know when the solution or a solution is reached. * has a solution which can be objectively evaluated as being right or wrong. * belongs to a class of similar problems which can be solved in a similar manner. * has solutions which can be tried and abandoned.[2] In 1973, Horst W.J. Rittel and Melvin M. Webber, two Berkeley professors, published an article in Policy Sciences introducing the notion of "wicked" social problems. The article, "Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning," named 10 properties that distinguished wicked problems from hard but ordinary problems.1. There is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem. It's not possible to write a well-defined statement of the problem, as can be done with an ordinary problem.2. Wicked problems have no stopping rule. You can tell when you've reached a solution with an ordinary problem. With a wicked problem, the search for solutions never stops.3. Solutions to wicked problems are not true or false, but good or bad. Ordinary problems have solutions that can be objectively evaluated as right or wrong. Choosing a solution to a wicked problem is largely a matter of judgment.4. There is no immediate and no ultimate test of a solution to a wicked problem. It's possible to determine right away if a solution to an ordinary problem is working. But solutions to wicked problems generate unexpected consequences over time, making it difficult to measure their effectiveness.5. Every solution to a wicked problem is a "one-shot" operation; because there is no opportunity to learn by trial and error, every attempt counts significantly. Solutions to ordinary problems can be easily tried and abandoned. With wicked problems, every implemented solution has consequences that cannot be undone.6. Wicked problems do not have an exhaustively describable set of potential solutions, nor is there a well-described set of permissible operations that may be incorporated into the plan. Ordinary problems come with a limited set of potential solutions, by contrast.7. Every wicked problem is essentially unique. An ordinary problem belongs to a class of similar problems that are all solved in the same way. A wicked problem is substantially without precedent; experience does not help you address it.8. Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem. While an ordinary problem is self-contained, a wicked problem is entwined with other problems. However, those problems don't have one root cause.9. The existence of a discrepancy representing a wicked problem can be explained in numerous ways. A wicked problem involves many stakeholders, who all will have different ideas about what the problem really is and what its causes are.10. The planner has no right to be wrong. Problem solvers dealing with a wicked issue are held liable for the consequences of any actions they take, because those actions will have such a large impact and are hard to justify.

I was thinking... stealthbadger 2012-04-18 | Why I quit driving, in *increasing* order of importance:1. Because it was a pain getting a medical check-up every year specifically for the purpose of being able to keep my driver's license (see #2).2. Since I have epilepsy, there was a miniscule but still real risk that I would not be able to pull over before a seizure took hold. I usually get between 30 seconds to 1 minute's warning before it hits (it's hard to describe), but there are no guarantees in life. I didn't want to be responsible for that.3. Because the stupidity and carelessness of another driver is how I got the injury that caused the seizures in the first place.4. After twice having cars spin out next to me on Interstate 95, I said "screw this" and switched to public transportation.

From The Online Etymology Dictionary (which is a wonderful online tool for looking at prefixes/word combinations and how they changed): "This is a map of the wheel-ruts of modern English. Etymologies are not definitions; they're explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded 600 or 2,000 years ago." http://www.etymonline.com For instance, look at the differences between agnostic and aglow.

2000 Subscribers and Delightful Complexity (and some stupid) stealthbadger 2011-11-02 | A nice takedown of the Mantra: http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2011/07/boneheads-are-so-cute-when-they-think.html Bob Whitaker: NOT RACIST ENOUGH, apparently. http://www.jettandjahn.com/2011/03/debunking-the-mantra Reddit bitching about people spamming the mantra: http://www.reddit.com/r/worstof/comments/kbpk2/could_racist_spam_be_the_work_of_sockpuppets Here is the link to Whitaker's blog. My virus scanner is no longer arching a brow at the webpage, but please use care when going to the following links - use Firefox, Opera, or Chrome, preferably with Javascript turned off. I take no responsibility for you catching Internet Cooties. :D If you feel like being safe but still seeing the symbolic use of the Mantra on his blog (in the background image, look at insect on the right), here is his background image: Some information from Rick Ross: http://www.rickross.com/reference/hate_groups/hategroups417.html http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/wp-content/uploads//BUGSlogo8.jpg This first link from his blog is to the actual mantra itself, just so you can verify it for yourself. The rest just spreads out the stupid from there. http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/the-white-mantra http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/2011/10/23/in-bugs-getting-off-the-subject-is-next-to-criminal http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/heresy The comments thread where they keep track of where they've swarmed, and direct others to join in or just thumb-up comments. They consider being blocked a win. I consider it gathering breathing room so I can turn my attention to watching them, rather than dealing with spam. http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/topic/where-did-you-post-the-mantra-today And here are some of there counter-counter arguments. You may want to have enough to drink to numb your face before you read this, as I will not be responsible for facepalm-induced suffering. http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/topic/anti-white-arguments-archive-our-responses-to-them If you want more information, just google these three words: bob whitaker mantra You will be taken to his blog, his online forum, the Vanguard News Network, White News Now, Stormfront (all of which white nationalist sites), and a whole lot of supporting blogs. If you watch carefully, you will learn that the white nationalist movement is just as divided and messed up as any other human movement. BTW, Bob: Good Job using a Hindustani spiritual word. :D
Capitalism Is Politically Correct stealthbadger 2011-10-29 | How to move your money to a non-criminal bank in four steps:http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/node/9463A much older video of mine that touches on the problems with radicalism:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q3FzIdM1vgYes, this video is something of a departure for me stylistically.
