Radio Zeroth Amendment: "Bring It On..."

Marla Singer's picture




..but get your facts straight. It's going to take more than sloppy recursive citation to "out" Tyler Durden. Radio Zero(th Amendment) is easy to out, however. Just check back here earlier than usual for the URL. Let's call it 6:30 ET?

Listen here: http://cdo.zerohedge.com:8000/listen.pls

Marla, is there a way to DL the session; i mean i would be more than happy to listen trough the whole thing; but see, the problem is that a) i need to sleep after 60hrs of being awake ( ask the Narrator what happens if you don't ) and b) its 0:30 am here when Radio ZH starts. so pretty please give da brotha some information about where or even if i could DL it.

i did some time ago when i was working on manifolds and Hilbert spaces and stuff like that. But that was years ago; and most of that evaporated but i remember using them when i was trying to construct a non-Newtonian space ( universe ). But attractors proved not to be very useful, because i needed something to describe longer time periods, for example a eon or motion in a non-euclidean space etc. but they are heck of a good thing if you want to construct a model for the stock market. you would probably need to use advance combinatorics to do so; but in my opinion it is doable. Now, i mostly work on ZFC, Frege, Godel and elementary set theory.

People have this propensity to make things more complicated then they need to be.

For instance draw a circle within a circle and you've encapsulated infinity.  Sublimely simple really.

ZFC is lets say, my love, from the old days, non-Euclidean gim. when i was actually doing serious research in mathematics; and set theory now that i only train my brain and publish once in a while. But my favourite is definitely set theory; the most beautiful mathematics ever; neither Pythagoras, nor Gauss, not even Bolanyi can measure up to Cantor and the beauty he found. If you are interested in the subject do some research on Terence Tao; mathematical Mozart he is.

I setup an entry there under the name "Radio Zero Hedge".

Once you ahve your account, you point your BB to m.moodio.fm. They convert any stream to whatever BB media player supports. Finnicky quality at the moment. Still testing.

"get your facts straight" indeed...

BADLANDS

Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland.
Got a head-on collision, smashin in my guts man.
Im caught in a crossfire that I dont understand.
But theres one thing I know for sure girl:
I dont give a damn for the same old played out scenes
I dont give a damn for just the in-betweens.
Honey I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now.
You better listen to me baby:
Talk about a dream; try to make it real.
You wake up in the night with a fear so real.
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just dont come.
Well dont waste your time waiting

Badlands you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay
Well keep pushin till its understood
And these badlands start treating us good

Workin in the field till you get your back burned
Workin `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned.
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now.
You better get it straight darling:
Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,
And a king aint satisfied till he rules everything.
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got.
Now I believe in the love that you gave me.
I believe in the faith that could save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it
Will raise me above these

Badlands...

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it aint no sin to be glad youre alive.
I wanna find one face that aint looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

Badlands

I suspect the captcha has already been broken which is why they added moderation, which is the real reason I registered an account.

But the name "slow, non-instant moderation" wasn't as catchy.

Computers are pretty good at calculations (square roots of prime numbers nonwithstanding) so really a spambot only need convert the english into numbers and solve.  Image recognition captchas really are harder to break.  I think the english ones only functioned through obscurity.

Man I'm no moron, but I have no idea what the answers to those questions are, although, a quick trip to wiki, and a side step to dictionary dot com to look up antinomy. (yes, I know the wiki is full of lies, but it is still useful, and I just learned a bunch of things I'll never be able to bring up in a typical conversation in America, at least not without pissing off at least one retard who will feel obliged to prove might makes right.)

1)Michel Foucault (Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus, looks like a good read )

2)Freedom is in the individual; The individual is governed by the laws of nature.

3)This is a tough one, but i'll have to say functions are modular, and it relates to pythagoras' formula in that they are both functions that describe a form, although modular theorm is most certainly a non-euclidian form.

You'll be able to bring up Foucault with members of Project Mayhem / Washington DC.   Just make sure you mention "History of sexuality" or the "Panopticon".  Our own local 'DARPA' seems to have a fixation with panopticon for some reason.

 

Anyway yes, let's all disregard the systemic 'incitement to discourse', as it is a false mechanism of social control.

just joining the party. fashionably cynical and late.

just one thought to share as marla spins - 

while muting the distracting soundbite interludes on TV, if one takes a step back and actually removes the firing squad blindfold, is there anything just a tad surreal about cracking jokes of multibillion bank failures this week, last week, next week...as nothing ever really changes and the system is back to where it always was? 

just what will it take?

IMO, deep down the general public intuitively knows the whole thing is a scam, but has been conditioned that "that's just the way it has always been", as if this was some kind of argument for letting corruption continue.  I always point out that once upon a time slaves was "just the way it has always been", women as homemakers was once "just the way it has always been", etc... The only other option is something entirely different, and we are faced with the possibility that the shock of the cure will be greater than ill of the sickness.  My step-father went through this with cancer, he felt death was a more palatable alternative than losing the use of Mr. Happy.  There wasn't much of an argument anyone could give to him to make another choice, he had to decide for himself that self preservation was more important, and that's what it will take in this instance, the realization that to stay the course we are currently on is certain doom, in some way shape or form, but for now, all they can think is that they won't get to use Mr. Happy anymore...

It's funny, and typical of me to say this here, but it fits..

"You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis. You have said it yourself, half infear, half in hope that the words had no meaning."

well it's a john galt quote, which of course, I get a lot of flack for citing when I do; however, what it means in this context is that people look at the destruction or corruption in disbelief, like it's a soap opera, or a dark comedy spot. They think 'oh, those crazy politicians, saying shit that isn't true again, they'll be the death of us for sure' and lump it into some category parallel to reality, but not IN reality, like a cartoon show. It's like the defensive baring of one's teeth when laughing nervously while you hope that guy across the dark alley walking toward you isn't actually half as mean as he looks.  You hope you're wrong about the thing that makes you scared, just like you're always wrong about that sneaking feeling that you're about to win the lottery...  (I know it's vague, but I can't really think of a concrete way to describe it.)

Karl D. was musing that earlier this week of which I expect you caught.  Considering most have come to the elementary conclusion this evening that the Treasury backstop is in-effect, it's not going to be a "planned" bank outage - it will have to be an large exogenous variable, unexpected of course.

No one laughs at God in a hospital/

No one laughs at God in a war/

No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing

or so very poor.

That's what it takes.

I laugh at god everywhere I go. But if I'm around a bunch of religious folks, I wait till I think they aren't looking. Unless I don't like them.

The song means more "fear of God" to me than a call to put your Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes on.

You laugh at God or the concept of one? Just curious?

the concept of one. it would be absurd for me to believe in god and laugh at him.

We'll see in about 80 days probably ;)

 

Many thanks for spinnin' the tunes. I'm a busy chic over here.

I wish surreal was my adjective. Instead it is flat out betrayal. Maybe if my short dec sp900 straddles weren't climbing northward toward my throat it would just be surreal.

Should have remembered '99. Same bullshit

It won't come from this country.  Our Fed would backstop a hot dog stand if they thought it would avoid the inflection point.  It will come from some random corner of the world that can't be seen by the unblinking eye of the moneyprinters.

Honestly, I never went looking for it and it is not something I could find in my circle. I guess found a mentor in Marla. However, I did grow up Detroit with my 82'(?) Walkman and the Midnight Funk Association. Five hours a night of damn near commercial free bliss.

MFA is a classic, no doubt.

There are literally thousands of places to get a fix of this cure, although I have to say Marla does an awesome job with her blend.

One of my standbys is a public radio station that serves as a high school vo-tech program.  Some of their work is seriously redundant.  However, they do some awesome 4 hour shows without interruption and every hour is 58 minutes guaranteed..... + they do the morning news as only HS kids can WhoT! I do hope that this leads you in a new quest!
