Imagine someone is mature enough to not take themselves seriously.
That seems to be a foreign concept to lefties but then again, when your entire paradigm is built on being offended, i can see the failure to translate.
Bonus points for sleep: Zinc to help metabolize adenosine while you sleep (improves sleep effectiveness and helps indirectly break caffeine addiction)
Vitamin B6 to help keep GABA levels necessary to produce brain fog when its time to sleep. (Fall asleep faster)
Magnesium also regulates melatonin in the body to help keep you asleep and prevent the melatonin hangover in the morning (stay asleep and wake up more effectively).
I just spent the last couple of hours reading that report. Here is my take for anyone in the audience.
Slyver's report presents extensive material on who owns what and does, in fact, support Slyver's claim.
Since the premise of my claim was difficult to parse, I will clarify. When I think of the phrase, "All power to the people," I picture a society dictated by mob rule. The problem with mob rule is that wealthy interests can buy the minds/hearts of the people. This idea is the main counter-argument to the 17th Amendment, which, in my opinion, should never have been ratified.
However, after weighing my argument against Slyver's, I will say that his claims carry more weight than mine in the current political climate because Slyver ties them directly to influencing entities, whereas my claim is based on theory.
But... Let me be precise with these words, both of our claims can still be true. My claim will only prove true if "Power to the People" is meted out by our current application of democracy.
All that aside, I concede to Slyver in the argument, but I have to address something unrelated to the discussion, which is important to me.
So if you're happy with everything, you don't need to keep reading. If you're curious about what has got my panties in a wad, then please proceed.
Some quick background about myself for context:
I work in a highly technical profession that requires me to read dense, lengthy documents filled with multiple types of "jargon languages." These documents include policy, law, acquisitions, economic reports, SEC filings, trade studies, etc.
In addition, I write technical documents for many audiences, including my corporate superiors, DoD civilian contractors, military command, and congressional representatives.
In my spare time, I write stories. Currently, I'm writing my 5th full-length novel. I've assisted in managing three blogs and have developed and executed complete copywriting campaigns for other companies.
In short, I eat, sleep, breathe, and live writing. It is my sole passion in this life. While others are researching facts to put into reports, I have intense arguments with myself about whether I should include a trailing clause in a sentence.
So why on earth did I give all that background?
I will tell you.
If you share a profile of interest similar to the one I presented above, then by all means, read Slyver's report. You will learn A LOT!
However, if you don't resonate with the profile I presented, then under no circumstances should you ever read Slyver's report. There is a strong likelihood that you will gouge your eyes out while attempting to slog through it.
To Slyver: I can see that you have a lot, and I mean a lot of potential in academic research or written discourse, but damn! For the love of all that is sacred, you have got to take a step back and work on your prose. I say this without an ounce of animosity.
I have two things I want you to do:
-
Get your most trusted friend. Then ask them to read as much of your report ALOUD as they can in 5-10 minutes. I want you to count how many times they stumble with the words in that time, and then take an average of that value. This exercise will give you a direct measure of your writing fluency. Afterwards, buy your friend a drink.
-
Go to a library and find a writer's critique group. Of the many groups I've attended, the best are filled with women whose average age is above 50. They give zero shits about whether or not someone's feelings get hurt when they critique the work.
Spend time with them to get an accurate and unbiased measure of the quality of your writing, and then take the necessary effort to improve your craft.
This practice will dramatically improve your ability to reach broader audiences.
Again, this critique comes from a place of interest, not enmity. I genuinely think you can be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to written discourse, but that will all go to waste if you don't improve. Good luck.
This makes sense, but there needs to be a slight correction.
In our society, judges dont write laws, congress does. Judges do interpret laws and the problem is that the interpretation of law can be skewed.
What we need is a truly impartial judge. Some have suggested that AI can come into play here, but as we've seen, that means the judge becomes those who program the AI. So the problem will persist unless the programmers have direct oversight by an impartial auditor.
