WIST Quotations Apr 7

A quotation from Bill Watterson

CALVIN: Isn’t it sad how some people’s grip on their lives is so precarious that they’ll embrace any preposterous delusion, rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1987-11-24)

Sure... in the #WordSalad World of Sir #TrumpVirus' big, beautiful, uh, brain...

Those Iranians sure do love the sounds of bombs! They're sad when bombing stops (as Sir figures & said).

Starving in the darkness without food, water or power is surely what "freedom" is all about, in that mind full of #BrainSpurs, hate, confusion & #delusion.

Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Hate is Love.... Where have we heard this before?
Oh right, the dystopian "1984" - & #DJT.

If you're going to have delusions, you might as well go for the really satisfying ones.

An increasingly common trait is "unrealistic confidence." These leaders make decisions and blindly assume everyone will see the changes exactly as they predict, with the exact same positive reactions. 📉 #Delusion #Leadership

Anna Moore: Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the #AI users whose lives were wrecked by #delusion. One minute, Dennis Biesma was playing with a #chatbot; the next, he was convinced his sentient friend would make him a fortune. He’s just one of many people who lost control after an AI encounter.

On stigmata:
It is a little known fact that when stigmata appear on a devoted follower, the scars on the body of the holy leader or saint disappear. It is as if the scars are temporarily transferred to the devotee.

For example, every time you see the clear, unblemished upper right ear of God's appointed holy man, one of his most dedicated followers has to staunch a flow of blood from their right ear.
