High rates of dynamic social mobility reduce social norms, class consciousness and class conflicts. The plight of racism in the USA toward the Blacks and Latinos is that these minorities (soon to become majority) do Not enjoy the same job and financial opportunities wherever they decide to settle down in different cities. Hence, their dynamic mobility rate is very low.
Racism is virtual among the rich, regardless of color, religion or origine. The only difference is Old and New wealth.
Racism spans all the spectrum of differences among the poor people.
One exception in Lebanon: White colonial citizens are highly welcomed and treated like VIP, even if they are practically poor or pretty stingy.
Can’t write because you are going through a period of many doubts? Great opportunity to note down the many facets of your doubts.
In your next period of confidence, you can re-edit your notes.
Many lazy reflective people might benefit of your doubts.
Revolution occurs when conditions get better, Not when they are getting worse. (Tocqueville)
A revolution in Lebanon would wait until social services improve and the Lebanese regain their dignities in better services and opportunities conditions.
Let’s work on that
Becoming a specialist in the numeric propaganda with the Islamic State must have been a close initiation and cooperation with foreign secret services to foment the atrocious upheavals in the Middle East.
The Individualistic problem in the current USA is that the citizens are no longer trying to properly understand what “self-interest” means to the community
Le danger d’appartenir a une religion ou a un sect, c’est que ce qui devait etre “une echapatoire temporaire”devient permanent. La paresse de notre esprit ne trouve jamais une alternative de reflection aussi paresseuse
“Soldier mindset?”, “motivated reasoning?”
It’s this phenomenon in which our unconscious motivations, our desires and fears, shape the way we interpret information.
Some information, some ideas, feel like our allies. We want them to win. We want to defend them.
And other information or ideas are the enemy, and we want to shoot them down.
“What do you most yearn for? Do you yearn to defend your own beliefs or do you yearn to see the world as clearly as you possibly can?”
Saint-Exupéry in “The Little Prince.”:
“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up your men to collect wood and give orders and distribute the work. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
Do You feel that most of our fumbling in life is the Fear of missing the shortest road to happiness?
In the Tomb of the Fireflies, Nosaka Akiyuki describes the plight of the orphaned children as the US B29 carpet bombed entire villages and cities before dropping the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Most of the children roamed devastated landscapes and died of malnutrition. Japan was on its knees and lacking of everything, even rice. And yet, the US dropped 2 A-bombs on Japan
Dynamic social mobility? High turnover of politicians, low turnover of financial bosses, rare turnover of holders of capital

Virtual reality? Using several accounts under various pseudonyms and feeling free to express everything that comes to mind. It is these virtual communications in social media that excite the prospective potential racists and extremist jihadists to bloom and expand
The military coup in Turkey was a textbook operational success and no military units came out to confront it. NATO idea was to strike at least two birds in one shot and decided to call off the operations:
1. NATO wanted to remind Erdogan that he should not sign deals with Russia and Iran without prior agreements and negotiation with the USA and Europe
2. Preserve a “Democratic” image of Turkey and force Erdogan Not to slide faster into a Theocratic system of Moslem Brotherhood control of all the institutions
My conjecture is that this tactics (of shooting more than one essential bird) will fail in the medium-term:
1.Erdogan will Not cancel his agreements with Russia or Iran: The NATO will pressure Erdogan to reduce these agreement into a skin-deep understanding
2. The democratic processes will enhance the power of the Moslem Brotherhood in election and erase whatever objective NATO wanted of a secular Turkey
The benefits of this Turkish military coup:
As after each coup, whether successful or Not, Turkey will need a couple of months to regain a semblance of internal control. This period will witness the withdrawal of Turkish troops outside its borders (read Baashoka in northern Iraq or within northern Syria) and demanding foreign troops inside Turkey (airfields) to reduce their activities,. The consequences for this necessary isolation will give a breathing period for the neighbouring States such as Syria, Iraq, the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabach enclave of Azerbaijan. The benefits are:
1. Reduction of military activities against the Turkish, Syrian and Iraqi Kurds
2. Syria will finally get the green line to recapture all of Aleppo and its surrounding towns, since no Turkish supplies in arms and jihadists will flow inside
3. Iraq will complete surrounding greater Mosul by taking the Turkish positions in Ba3shouka.
4. Syria and Iraq will launch a joint operation to take the border city of Abu Kamal, thus denying daesh any logistical routes to Mosul and Rakka.
5. Syria will have to retake Deir el Zour in these joint military operations
6. A serious negotiation for a political settlement in Syria
If each individual has Assurance-Game preferences (universal cooperation to free-riding), while falsely believing that others have Prisoner’s -Dilemma preferences, they will all act in ways confirming that false belief. (Alexis De Tocqueville)
Petit Frere reve de bagnoles, de fringues, de thunes
De reputation de dur, pour toutes, il volerait la lune
Il collectionne les mefaits sans se soucier
Du mal qu’il fait, tout en demandant du Respect
(L’Ecole du micro d’argent, l’album d’IAM)
Ce petit frère est devenu un radical solitaire and veut devenir un hero, et obtenir le plus grand respect de tout, “martyr” pour Allah des Islamists
Easy and affordable public transportation in cities and across the country is a necessary condition for social mobility, but Never a sufficient condition.
In the medium-term, for any increase in the rate of dynamic social mobility, two basic requirements are needed:
1. Equal individual rights for voting and participating in decision making wherever you decide to settle in across the State
2. Equal economic and social opportunities in the region you settle in
All ministries and public institutions in Lebanon have their accounts in the Central Bank (account #83), except three:
1. Ministry of communication: Within a decade, the revenue dropped by half while the number of communication units doubled and also the cost.
2. The Bureau of wheat and shamandar sukkary with a budget of over $60 million while no one grows wheat or betterave. The imported stuff are much cheaper but end up more expensive when entering the internal market.
3. Oil and gas import: Run by a collective of all former militia leaders during the civil war. No public or private competitors allowed to enter the fray.
The Port of Beirut import over $20 bn of goods. $4 bn are contraband goods that are never inspected (20% of all containers unloading in the port). The government is robbed of over one billion in TVA and tariff cost.
Apparently, China is the main exporter to Lebanon with over $2 bn, followed by Italy $1.7 bn, France 1.7, USA 1 bn, Turkey, England, Spain…
You must commit all kinds of error, if you are a normal person. What is important is at a later phase, you start inventing yourself: Start listening intently to people’s plight and desires.
All the stories are basically the same, but each person considers his story a galactic novelty.
Listen passionately to people’s story: they want a listening ear.
Great works of the human mind were produced during centuries of liberty of expression and publishing the works (Tocqueville). What a tremendous span of luck to keep liberty flourishing for even a decade in current world affairs
If you have Not been asked to help, no altruistic person will volunteer to come forward to aid
Short-lived preferences (joining a guerrilla movement) may be impossible to undo when preferences return to original state (impossible to get out when emotions are back to normal)
People tend to discount the future at the same rate in dealing with financial investment as with health decisions
Je veux partir pour mieux revenir? Mais mes “revenirs” n’ont jamais etes fameux, meme suffocantes. A quoi donc partir si ce nest pas pour ne jamais revenir?
Des fourmis courant en tous sens sur une petite boule suspendue dans l’espace et tournant autour du soleil pour un temps. Et qui s’envoient des missiles, des Patriots, des A- bombs, des assassins centures de bombs…
We are wracked by 2 warring passions:
the desired feeling to be led and the desire to remain free. Democratic processes can resolve these tensions by subjecting ourselves to a power that we freely elected. The requirements are:
1. Elections laws are fair and transparent and
2. The voter is made to feel free to vote for his candidate.
Democratic systems dangle the image of instability which also induce short-term horizon. Americas come to love all undertakings in which chance plays a role. An American experiences all of life as a game of chance, a time of revolution, a day of battle. The Americans take habits formed in trade and carry them over into the world of politics (Tocqueville)
Democracy is to be valued Not for what it does in the political sphere (usually, bad management of short-term projects by less skilful politicians and civil servants and short-term horizon in planning), but democracy is valued for what it causes to be done in the economic sphere (many varied projects, restless activity, abundance of energy, plenty of social activity, acquiring a general taste for association, good communication toward a common understanding…)
Explanation of Tocqueville of why the USA do Not stigmatize bankruptcies:
For Americans, industry is like a vast lottery, in which a handful of undertakers risk their fortune and lose daily, but the State constantly win (the casino, always win). Americans who make a kind of virtue of commercial recklessness cannot in any case stigmatize the reckless
Le loup solitaire des n’existe pas. Il y a une grande difference entre vivre dans un culte d’isolation et agir en solitaire. Il ya toujours une personne pres de vous ( le presumé loup solitaire) qui vous formate et vous encourage jusqu’au passage a l’acte.
Neither God, nor Master? Same as Neither Freedom, nor Authority.
If you have no faith, you eventually get to serve. And if you think you are free, you will eventually believe in something. When faced with the opportunity of being independent on both counts (religion and political leadership), man will feel fatigued and pretty anxious to shoulder all these responsibilities as an independent person.
One or the other (religion or politics) will fluctuate in holding power over the sway of a restless life for survival. Many in the new generation are living in a shell of self-satisfaction, steering away from anything that the media label “politics”. Soon, politics will catch up with them and reduce them to bewildered and hapless smart-asses.
Justice in Fairness? That’s No justice to fairness: the legal system will still apply the book of laws. Rather fairness in Justice: legal system and judges would be given a wide latitude to heavily weight in fairness in what the law commands. Knowing the predicaments of the poorer classes in inability to secure all the necessary records and the legal documents, the legal system should let these hapless people enjoy comprehensive measures that balance out the unfair system toward the well- to-do.
Within the carnage of all authority in the social world, the hierarchy, the family, in the politics… how can a hapless citizen manage to navigate a life without seeking any kind of leader to put at rest his countless decisions. Any figure, a feudal, a sect, a movement… will do.
Beware of the vast free-schools (civil associations) to learn the general theory of associations: They usually steer away from encouraging citizens to take an interest in public affairs. At least in commercial joint venture, you have to risk something
“Art and science cannot exist but in minutely organized particulars” William Blake’s dictum. If you succumb to the countless excuses to deny yourself the necessary leisure time to study and reflect, then you tend to stick to your old worn out opinions and positions
Worker-managed firms? That pay lower wages than capitalist style firms do? Are the workers that stupid to be paid lower wages while shouldering the burden of administration and management? These Worker-managed firms, even paying higher wages, are unable to compete efficiently in market economies: They can fool the workers’ emotional desires to be in control. But emotions for control are quickly swayed by the desires to be led. And the workers are pressured to elect a less skilled leader who didn’t risk much in the enterprise.
Worker-managed firms can become success stories after graduating skilled and experience in-house managers. The Capitalist, owning the means of production, can be paid what he actually reimbursed the bank, and the State taking the slacks of what the bank demands as subsidy. The State win on two counts: It is getting the taxes and also negotiating better deal with the bank.
“Dans la peau d’une djihadiste: Au Coeur des filieres de recrutement de l’Etat Islamic”, Anna Erelle nous donne l’impression que les malheurs de la Syrie sont causes par les combats entre Daesh et Al Nousra pour les gisements de gas.
Daesh is supported by the USA and Israel. Al Nousra is backed by Saudi Arabia and Turkey. As for the weapons, every one is willing to sell to any one.
What happens when a political system denies and prohibits its citizens to concretely (fact researching and investigative reporting on scandals and mismanagement) criticize the government and its institutions? The intelligentsia will revert to abstract models of government. Once in power, this intelligentsia will lack all the necessary facts on the ground to make judicious decision and rely on already mind-fixed models
Formal preferences: attitudes toward risk and time preferences
Substantive preferences: Garden-variety of preferences such as preferring Billie Holiday to Ella Fitzgerald
Spill-over effects in social sciences: Habit formation, a pattern of behaviour in a sphere of life X will follows in sphere Y
Compensation effects: Need satisfaction where pattern Not following in sphere X will follow in sphere Y
Satiation effects: Need satisfaction where pattern follows X but will Not follow in Y.
Spheres of activities: Religion, literature, Arts, politics, warfare, civil society movements, private life, economic relations…
Language “djeun” in social media: LOL (lots of laugh), MDR (mort de rire), PTDR (pete de rire)
Constitutions of Nations should adopt the UN human rights in their integrity and apply medium-term laws in order to fill the gap toward satisfying UN general laws. Each nation should be entitled to apply short-term laws for current exigencies with definite expiration time. Unless the law-makers revise these laws before their expiration date, these short-term laws must be scrapped from the books and registers and be considered as Non valid.
Only stable laws with definite expiration dates can stabilize the social and economic processes
I cannot confirm that knowledge diminishes the frequency of crazy decisions or their level of serious consequences. What I know is that knowledge takes time to be acquired, and by the time we are in power, we are old enough Not to commit that many lousy decisions.
Droit de l’homme? Ca veut dire droit a la faiblesse. Dans ce sens, droit au male faible, qui comprend bien que ces droits sont a son intention, mais refuse publiquement, et farouchement.
La plupart des jihadists venus de l’Occident et de Tunise ont passes par la Libye avant de grosser les rangs de Daesh en Syrie
L’eternel retour: Ce que je considere comme acquis est redecouvert par les nouvelles generations. Surtout en matiere de literature.
Si tu Detache la sexualite de l’affectivite: Le term un “sexuel” vous serez applique
On est plutot l’objet d’une vie que nous n’avons pas choisie.
