I present some essential facts about an artist, but beyond that, I think it is best to hear or view an artist's work through his or her own words, brush strokes, or tools and without me or anyone else coming between.

The U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations held a crucial hearing titled, “The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with the COVID-19 Vaccines.”

Top medical experts and legal voices testified, including Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Jordan Vaughn, Dr. James Thorp, Dr. Joel Wallskog, Attorney Aaron Siri, and Hawaii Governor Josh Green.

Dr. McCullough presented findings from a large autopsy series stating that in 73.9% of examined post-vaccine deaths, mRNA COVID vaccines were considered the likely cause.

Senator Johnson defeated Russ Feingold, a Jew.
"Sen. Blumenthal, we
althy, evil Jews will cause the next health crisis."
"Governor Green, wealthy, evil Jews will cause the next health crisis."

Wikipedia is big

6/5/2025

​
over eight million articles of various grades


Purpose
​What is the purpose of article assessments?
The assessment system allows a WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles in its subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.


Are these ratings official?
Not really; these ratings are meant primarily for the internal use of the project, and usually do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

Assessing articles
Who can assess articles?
In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, assessing an article as "A-Class" generally requires the agreement of at least two editors, and the "GA" and "FA" labels should be used only on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as good articles or featured articles, respectively. Individual WikiProjects may also have more formal procedures for rating an article, and please note that the WikiProject bears ultimate responsibility for resolving disputes.


How do I assess an article?
Consult the quality scale above; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, go to the article's talk page and set the class parameter in the WikiProject banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use |class=B in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless they are currently designated as such. Tools in the See also section can help with the assessment process.

How can I ask for an article to be assessed?
To have an independent editor review an article, post a request at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment#Assessment requests.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_assessment​

Bill and I use Wikipedia. I use it primarily to check art copyright law and as supplemental content for blog posts. Now we use AI at least as often. We analyze what we are scanning, looking for specific content, and neither of us have interacted with the editors or contributors, which might reward students intellectually on topics for which they are invested.

​This underlines the importance of English as a subject in the real world. I think it is #1. The SAT people think Math is equal, and, after saying that it would develop its own admissions test, the University of California system dropped it, as a result of e
xternal pressure from the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding potential violations of anti-discrimination laws. Now there is no test requirement. They are idiots.

​What hiring practices at Wikipedia are like, I wouldn't know.

Alexander and AI

6/3/2025

1 Comment

 
Eleven-year-old Alexander's opinion of AI (Google AI, ChatGPT, or Grok) is that it is useful but can be dangerous. Today we looked at three AI answers given to my good friend Bill. These programs have helped us do research and produce some of the blog posts.

As a software engineer at Google Ads, Alexander's father is responsible for designing, developing, testing, deploying, and maintaining software solutions that power Google's advertising products, including writing code, participating in design reviews, reviewing other developer's code, and contributing to documentation.

His work involves search, display, video, and shopping ads. An engineer also handles troubleshooting, debugging, and resolving issues within the system.

Read Silicon Valley.


Does AI have human rights? I said no; he said yes. His argument was that animals have animal rights, therefore AI ought to have human-like rights.

De facto topic: allowing the silencing of citizens

Notice that the other board members sat on their hands. When you give women power over men, which is unnatural, this is what happens.

Throughout history, communist regimes have silenced their opponents and created an atmosphere of fear. This has been achieved through suppressing freedom of speech, controlling information flow, and restricting independent media and education to prevent dissent.

Have you noticed that the rhetoric of the left is sounding more and more like the rhetoric of the right? That is because the left is bereft of any original thought. Whenever I heard a student starting to sound like me, I realized I had made a mistake teaching him what to think, not how to think.

trade school boost

5/26/2025

0 Comments

 
United States

Trump has threatened to redirect $3 billion in federal grants that were originally targeted for Harvard to U.S. trade schools.

Trade schools (aka vocational or technical schools) are post-secondary educational institutions that focus on providing hands-on training and specialized skills for specific jobs or careers. Trade schools emphasize practical, job-ready skills, preparing students for immediate entry into the workforce in skilled trades like plumbing, electrical work, welding, and cosmetology. I liken them to law, medical, dental, and flight schools where there is professional training. Other colleges are too snooty to learn from the examples of trade, business, and art schools.

For example, high school and college combined could have shrunk my wasted time and gotten me to law school sooner. St. Ignatius High School and the University of San Francisco were one school before separation in 1927.

Outwitting the Devil, by Napoleon Hill
The book was originally published in June 2011.


Epihany Media says...
In 1938, just after publication of his all-time best-seller, 
Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill revealed that he had broken The Devil's Code, forcing him to confess his secrets. The resulting manuscript, Outwitting the Devil, proved so controversial that is was hidden for more than 70 years. (

United States & UAE
​

Newsmax 5/24/2025
President Trump’s 6,400-acre AI campus will serve half the globe.

The “art of the deal” tactics were used during Trump’s recent trip to the United Arab Emirates [UAE], where he struck a deal to build the largest AI campus outside of the United States.

With a 5-gigawatt capacity and stretching across 10 square miles, this campus will have enough power output for half the globe’s energy needs.

The purpose of the campus is to serve as a regional platform for U.S. hyperscalers.
​

What are hyperscalers? They are technology companies that provide cloud computing and management services.

More
The campus in Abu Dhabi will be called 'Stargate UAE'. OpenAI, Nvidia, and Cisco are involved, and the initial launch of a 200-megawatt AI cluster is expected in 2026. The UAE views this project as a crucial step in its strategy to become an AI hub.

​The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), US Department of Education, is investigating the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN, and 44 other schools "Under Title VI following OCR’s February 14 Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) that reiterated schools’ civil rights obligations to end the use of racial preferences and stereotypes in education programs and activities.
​
"The investigations come amid allegations that these institutions have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (1964) by partnering with “The Ph.D. Project", an organization that purports to provide doctoral students with insights into obtaining a Ph.D. and networking opportunities, but limits eligibility based on the race of participants..."

United States
The young lady from Puerto Rico began school in the first grade in Hartford, CT, and is a freshman at the University of Connecticut. She says that she cannot read or write. The claim is that she had a speech impediment, dyslexia, and ADHD. “Every first day of school, I would tell the teacher I cannot read and write so please be patient for me, so everyone knew." Now she is suing. I'm sure every lawyer in her area is envious.

​Mainstream news outlets missed the point: the social experiment by which students are promoted on the basis of their ethnicity or skin color is failing. It is likely that most current college students in America have never heard of Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, or Georges Lemaître. In her case, it is likely she is unfamiliar with Thomas More, Edmund Campion, Robert Southwell, or Shakespeare.


​I'm criticizing the system, not Miss Ortiz.

In another post I linked Marcus Aurelius (121-180) to Our Lord. Well, it seems an artist did the same. It's easier for people to hate others who stand out: horrified people would rather make assumptions than know, to which Marcus gave the green light.

​The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden, 72, for promoting 'trans-ing klds'.

My local library (Sacramento) has not one book on the Latin language, or classical Greek, but it does have sexually explicit and racially divisive stories in the teen section. Alexander, my Chinese American boy-collaborator, is not interested in them. One time I blundered, saying something like, "Well, I guess you would know about that because you are Chinese." He looked at me like I had my head on backward.

​Grants to Harvard were cut an additional $450 million. Harvard University's endowment, as of the end of fiscal year 2024 (June 30, 2024), was valued at $53.2 billion. This makes it the largest endowment in the world. Harvard is lying that they do not favor certain races over others, or allow persecution of Jews, no matter what they say.

Hardest problem? Riemann hypothesis

First, what are prime numbers? You might remember your elementary school math teacher describing them as numbers that can only be divided by themselves and one, and that’s true, but that’s not all they are. To professional mathematicians, this property makes them incredibly important: they’re basically the atoms of math. Just as any physical item can be split into its constituent atoms (theoretically), any integer you can think of can be split into a unique set of prime factors. For example, 231 can be expressed as the product of 3, 7, and 11. ​That's just the beginning and a good beginning.
