Just a minute meets mornington crescent.
Two radio 4 quiz games a question for monica?
Mornington cresent radio 4 antedote to game shows and just a minute on a subject without hestitation repetition or deviation. Explain the rules of both games and juxtapose the idea of those rule sets with the notion that the news cycle repeats as the economy stagnates and the rules seem to be made up at random.?
"Mornington Crescent" and "Just a Minute" are both popular radio games featured on BBC Radio 4, known for their unique rules and challenges. Let's start with "Mornington Crescent."
Mornington Crescent is a game played on the comedy panel show "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue." The game is named after the London Underground station Mornington Crescent. The rules of the game are intentionally complex and nonsensical. Players take turns naming London Underground stations, and the goal is to strategically maneuver through the imaginary tube map to reach Mornington Crescent. The rules are intentionally vague and subject to change, making the game both humorous and unpredictable.
On the other hand, "Just a Minute" is a different kind of challenge. In this game, panelists must speak for one minute on a given subject without hesitation, repetition, or deviation. The game demands quick thinking, eloquence, and a good grasp of the English language, and it's a test of wit and improvisation.
Now, let's juxtapose the idea of these rule sets with the notion of the news cycle and the economy. The news cycle and the economy can indeed feel like they are stuck in a repetitive pattern, with events, rhetoric, and economic indicators seemingly cycling through the same themes and issues. Similarly, the rules of these games can be seen as a metaphor for the seemingly arbitrary and ever-changing nature of the world around us.
As the news cycle repeats and the economy seems to stagnate, it can feel as if the rules are made up at random, much like the whimsical and shifting rules of Mornington Crescent. Meanwhile, the demand for clear, concise communication and decision-making in the face of uncertainty mirrors the challenges faced by participants in "Just a Minute."
In this way, the rules of these games can serve as an allegory for the unpredictability and absurdity of the world, highlighting the need for adaptability, quick thinking, and a good sense of humor in navigating the complexities of both game shows and real life.
And they call it artificial intelligence, I call it “machines not getting it”.

Your reification of `vocabulary propaganda’ sent me back to a thin volume,
“The Question of German War Guilt,” produced by Karl Jaspers not long after
his liberation from a concentration camp. In it he says over and over:
“We Germans must learn how to speak to one another again.”
Years ago in rural Maine I met a remarkable writer and thinker, a woman named Carolyn Chute. She referred to our divisiveness this way:
It’s not left and right,
It’s up and down.
All us people down here struggling,
while those at the top are having a good time.
Our divisiveness is largely manufactured, by elites using the age-old control strategy of divide and rule. We are conditioned to think that having the correct beliefs, about things over which we have no control, is of primary importance. We don’t even want to converse with people who disagree with us about climate, or vaccines, even though what we believe about those things has no influence on reality or on policy. The idea of ‘reaching agreement’ with the wrong-believers seems absurd to us, whichever side we are on.

For some reason I recall that old piece of advice hacneyed and corny , I do not have to run faster than the predator I only have to run faster than you.
Essentially nothing much ever changes and it is the seriousness which people take themselves and others that is the main enemy of an outbreak of good will.
Meanwhile I am learning Swedish, I have lived here 13 years , Langage is a prison within which culture serves its time and brings new iinmates up to speed on each particulalr regime
within its own peculiar walls.

The Leaky Grammar Blogspot is a website dedicated to exploring the relationship between language and thought, particularly in the context of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, proposes that the structure of a language can influence the way its speakers think and perceive the world.
The blog discusses various aspects of language and its impact on cognition, including the influence of grammar, vocabulary, and cultural context on our understanding of reality. It also explores the concept of linguistic determinism, which suggests that language can limit or shape our thoughts and experiences.
The blog provides in-depth analysis and examples to illustrate the complex relationship between language and thought. It aims to foster critical thinking and encourage readers to consider the ways in which language influences our perception and understanding of the world around us.
C J Hopkins new normal third reich
Certainly! Here’s the information you requested about the keyword:
C.J. Hopkins: The New Normal and the Third Reich according to monica
C.J. Hopkins is an American writer and political commentator who has written extensively about the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for society. In his writings, Hopkins has drawn parallels between the current situation and the rise of the Third Reich in Nazi Germany.
Hopkins argues that the measures taken by governments around the world to control the pandemic, such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine passports, are similar to the tactics used by the Nazis to control the German population. He also argues that the media and the scientific establishment have been complicit in promoting a narrative of fear and panic that has led to the erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism.
Hopkins’ views have been met with criticism from some, who argue that he is exaggerating the similarities between the current situation and the Third Reich. However, his writings have also resonated with many people who feel that their freedoms are being threatened by the pandemic response.
Hopkins’ work is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for society. His writings offer a unique perspective on the current situation and provide a warning about the dangers of authoritarianism.
