Swift As Thought: Surviving On Miracles
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2015/08/surviving-on-miracles.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. American Society And I Have A Little Talk). I am American Society. And who am I? Someone with a complaint. You know, I can't talk about these things. Just pretend. You can lie, right? Do it all the time. It works. And working is what you're about. I want to talk about your work. You've been trying to kill me for the past five years. I've been surviving on miracles. Arriving not immediately when required. Only eventually. You're angry at me. But I perform miracles too, you said.

Swift As Thought: June 2014
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 19, 2014. Killer Metaphysics (And Other Stories). UCLA's Institute For Pure And Applied Mathematics, Conference On Mathematics Of Social Learning, January 9, 2014. Are you a Luddite? I would like to use machines right, not break them. As the last lecturer said the internet reflects the social world as it is, but also changes it. I think the internet can teach us how not to organize our social lives. You know Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. What about the kept contacts? The second thing that f...

Swift As Thought: February 2015
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. Anti-sex trafficking organizations say prostitution is torture. What do you think? Obviously they are not identical. We might look at how they are the same and how they are different. How are they the same? Both the seller of sex and the tortured have force applied to their bodies. You mean forced sex? Don't sellers agree to trade sex for money? Assuming they feel no desire to be with those they have to be paid to be with, their bodies are being forced to act against desire.

Swift As Thought: December 2014

Sunday, December 21, 2014. Starbucks Coffee, Olympic and Doheny, Beverly Hills. I sent your picture to a friend. "A typical Jewish Intellectual", she said. Are you are a "Jewish intellectual"? Jewish by ethnicity, not practice. Intellectual? That charge I don't think I can escape. Then she asked, "This isn't the Beverly Hills Jew you're always talking about? Are you a Beverly Hills Jew? Don't you have anything else to talk about? And you live in Beverly Hills now. If you call it living. Yes Leah, outfitt...

Swift As Thought: July 2015
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The occult is what is hidden. But not to everyone. Wherever there is something hidden, there is necessarily someone who knows.". This time is going to be wild. I can't wait. What are we going to talk about? No Things, like a philosopher's stone which when put next to copper turns it to gold. By talking to it? Yes God created the world by talking. Some things have this divine power of speech and can talk other things into being things more like themselves. A lot more. Ready? Are yo...

Swift As Thought: Holocaust Gift
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2015/08/gratitude-holocaust.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Holocaust Era Memory Book From Hungary. Welcome home. How was Europe? Recovered mostly. How have you been? Who cares about me? I care about you. Why would you care about me? And that's enough to care about me? When what I know is good. Tell me about good. Or better, tell me about gratitude and ingratitude. About this Hedge Fund Guy you spoke to a few times in the park who out of nowhere bought you the ticket to Europe. Do you feel grateful to him? I don't know him. No Starbuck...

Swift As Thought: April 2015
http://swiftasthought.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2015. The Test Of A Man. Listen, can I make what is going to sound like an outrageous claim? What would be new about that coming from you? The new government in Greece is facing off with the European Union about paying back their debt. The new government was elected on the promise not to pay, the European Union is determined to do everything it can to make Greece pay. You're talking about money, finance, budgets. Boring stuff. And why is it wrong for the Greeks to pay back their debt?

Swift As Thought: September 2014

Friday, September 26, 2014. Legal Crime: QMA Design and Build. This is the story of two brothers and what is known as legal crime. If banks sell investments to their customers telling them they are good and at the same time invest their own money in bets that the investments are bad, that is a crime. Exactly what category of crime is not immediately obvious to those of us who are not lawyers. It is obvious to lawyers, however, and the government may or may not get around to prosecuting the banks. The gov...
