Trump vs Tradtional Politics

Image
Hi! Happy Sunday! Mmmm, yesterday I posited that the Trump Phenomena is a culmination of the disastrous deregulation of that started in 1980s and has continued unabated ever since. Trump is a direct result of news as profit, click bait. If we want to prevent future Trumps from making it to the national political stage I proposed a solution based on tradition; repeal media de-regulation and reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, etc. such that news is no longer a for profit endeavor. I defended this proposal by stating that in lieu of "sciencing the shit out of it" then falling back on tradition that works is viable. Go back to where we were. Could that work? Ha! First of all, the conservative media is full-on denial that they represent hate speech. The minute conservative media is called out for hating Obama, hating liberals and calling their fellow liberal Americans traitors then conservative apologists hide behind the first amendment. So no, it will not work. The reason

Irreni Solutions vs Trump Phenomena

Hi! Happy Saturday! News for profit has finally taken its toll on culture. Much is being made these days about Donald Trump. Why is he even a thing? Calling Mexicans rapists should have been a gaff that easily should dismissed him from serious political serious consideration back in June? The problem is that we can't "science the shit out it" as Matt Damon did in the movie, "The Martian." The gap between reason and science is the unknown. Reason is required when science falls short. Reason is collection of assumptions,  observations, correlation, existing science, logic, analysis and speculation. Irreni World Scale is about solutions. So let's do that. Trump Phenomena Irreni Solution Everyone analysing the Trump phenomena is using reason founded on very little science. That is because the science of culture is poorly understood. All reasons being given today as to why the public is enamored with Trump are based on little, if any, science. Th

Irreni Solutions vs. Politically Correct

Hi! Happy Thursday! "These days offending someone with comedy is as easy as telling a joke, any joke." -Ricky Gervais Have we become too PC, too politically correct? While I could do a deep dive into the human nature aspects of political correctness, the empathy involved. That's not this post. No, this post is about the COx Principle. The COx Principle is one of Irreni World Scale's, Big Fancy Pants ideas: COx Principle of Human Quality. Contradictory Oxygen principle is an allusion to an expression oft uttered where someone sucks all of the "oxygen" out of the room by talking over everyone else. In this case of COx I am referring to the dead stealing all of the oxygen from the living. Of course the dead do not breathe and ergo the contradictory oxygen principle. This principle states that no generation of living folk can obligate the next generation of folk after passing on...especially to the point to where someone is born into a c

Irreni Solutions vs. Marco Rubio

Hi! Happy Tuesday! Solution: Eschew ideology. Eschew party purity. Problem:  Rubio in the last Republican debate thanked God that Bush was in charge during 9/11 and not Al Gore. However, the better analysis is to express regret, a regret that John McCain didn't beat George Bush in the Republican primary. Discussion: How are you? Irreni World Scale is about solutions not political punditry but occasionally I like to mix the two. There was a Republican Presidential Debate on Sunday where this following occurred: Bush also got a boost from Rubio who said during the debate, " I thank God it was George W Bush in the White House on 9/11, not Al Gore ." It should also be noted this was one of the most applauded lines of the night.  Rubio got it wrong. Rubio should have been sorry it was George W Bush in the White House and not John McCain. Rubio's comment was a response to Trump. Donald Trump called George W. Bush a liar about Iraq's weapon of mas
