    Ratcheting the Ridiculous

    Sometimes, the difference between entertainment between two countries is profound due to cultural differences.  Today, I'd like to suggest that there are differences well beyond culture that affect two peoples, even those separated by a common language, in this Episode 277: Ratcheting the Ridiculous.

    Nullius In Verba

    For reasons I hope to make clear soon, advertising is not foremost on my mind right now.  I made a realization that a great change will quite possibly befall us, and… I have no idea when.  To understand my thinking on this, though, I feel it's necessary to give some background.  Hence, some background in this Episode 275: Nullius In Verba.

    Our New Normal… Is Abby

    What's that phrase?  One step forward, two steps back?  For every positive step our society takes, it seems there are invisible forces trying to drag every step in a quite negative direction.  I'll explore one example of just this in this Episode 274: Our New Normal… Is Abby.

    Chattel Trapped in Chat Hell

    I never cease to be amazed at how bad some corporate decisions are… until I finally figure out why those bad decisions were probably the best way for the company to make more money.  I explore one revelation concerning my need to connect a simple device to the internet, only to be forced to chat support, in this Episode 273: Chattel Trapped in Chat Hell.

    Henry Saw This Coming

    There are far more thinkers whose writings can explain phenomena better than most; but thanks to ruthless historical suppression, those thinkers are not even considered.  I'd like to frame a few economic problems many of us are facing today to the philosophy of Henry George in this Episode 272: Henry Saw This Coming.

    Baffling Ripples of Synergy

    Just in case you don't get enough advertising in the privacy and sanctuary of your home, good news! Refrigideezers will soon show you ads on a screen on the door! It's true! I react to this silliness in this Episode 271: Baffling Ripples of Synergy. Find the Show Notes at: https://attackadspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/10/episode-271-baffling-ripples-of-synergy.html

    Pulling at Tightly Woven Threads

    I lately find myself dwelling on not the existence of new technology, but on questions about how we humans should treat it. After all, nothing in our cultures or languages has evolved to accommodate, for one example, ASoLs. In the interest of discussing these geegaws and thingamajigs with someone who actually not only uses them, but doesn't actively hate them, I have a chat with KMO as we start the title of Episode 270: Pulling at Tightly Woven Threads.  Find the Show Notes at: https://attackadspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/09/episode-270-pulling-at-tightly-woven.html
