Why isn’t this listed on main OG page?
Good point. It is odd. The article only has ‘video’ as its category (no ‘latest’), so that may be a factor.
And may explain the general lack of engagement(?)
A great interview a) for the broad range of topics we all want to know Kit’s perspective on… and Maryann asked all those questions we wanted to ask ourselves but felt a little naive about asking! and b) for the slower pace which gives us time to think and contemplate our own perspective. Well done both!
Thinking about that now self-propelling machine that has been built by the ‘families’ and which has various of its parts replaced as they wear out; the whole machine will become obsolete or will decay/rust naturally or will be replaced by some other well or not well thought out model… surely… as all machines go to their graveyard? In it’s death throws perhaps is the opportune time to kick it to the kerb?
A wide-ranging discussion. Yet still no sign of the cat.
Liked the idea of the shoal of fish, flock of birds or machine to represent the elites. A deistic ‘god’ or ‘gods’ that creates a machine that in effect makes themselves redundant. The Biblical God, by contrast, taking a more active role in Creation
The “Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect”, I believe, was Michael Crichton’s and Gell-Mann’s phrase for believing those articles to a greater extent, the less you know about a topic.
Brits do indeed suffer from “main character syndrome”, though that’s not always a bad thing. Cynicism certainly a positive attribute too.
Agree, Vagabard but which cat outta the bag are you specifically referring to?
Out-of-the-bag in asense. It was a reference to the real physical cat that apparently went awol (as opposed to Kit[ty] or Catte). As mentioned in this prior article:
https://off-guardian.org/2025/10/05/i-miss-my-cat/
I seem to recall the selfsame cat got a mention in the discussion in reference to staying ‘grounded’. Which the cat itself would appear to have ignored
😆 Oh yes of course… I was being too cryptic in my thinking!! Cats often come home though… if other people stop feeding them out of misplaced kindness!
Thank you
Thanks for that!
