Gradients
Many of the WALLS I've been defending are actually GRADIENTS. It's a sign of the utter poverty of our global-poisoned political language. We don't even have proper words for NECESSARY actions. We only have words for pointless trivial shit like Benghazi and Koch and UniterNotDivider and Politicizing.
I've drawn a wall to represent a gradient several times, as in the
gradient of boredom that protects some concepts from satanic destruction because Satan simply doesn't find them interesting enough to smash.

Biology and engineering aren't poisoned.
Nature uses gradients AND walls. We understand and use some of them in neurology (altering ion gradients) and cardiac medicine (controlling blood pressure). Smart parents and smart court systems use steep gradients of pleasure and pain to pull kids and dickheads toward desired behavior. Satanic court systems flatten the gradient by prohibiting spanking and capital punishment and solitary, thus reducing the pull toward goodness. Not a fucking accident.
All forms of engineering from roads to sewers to automobiles to HVAC to electronics make intense and precise use of gradients AND walls. From the start engineering has used gravity (a gradient of potential energy) to great advantage for irrigation and canals and water supply. Since 1700 we've used temperature gradients in steam and gas engines. Since 1840 we've used gradients of charge in electronics.
The real manipulators of politics and economics obviously DO understand gradients, and they take advantage of their language-destruction to fool us with gradients.
Outsourcing is a perfect example. Mexico and India have a different pattern of consumption and labor, forming a gradient of labor-reward that doesn't get reflected in currency exchange. A dollar paid to a Mexican or a Hindu yields far more satisfaction for him and his family, which means he's willing to do the same labor for less dollars. A Hindu programmer and an American programmer could receive the same dollars from an American firm. The Hindu is able to support his family and hire SERVANTS, while the American can barely support himself. We don't quantify this cultural gradient, so we don't understand it and can't defend ourselves against the serial killers who DO understand it.
ZIRP/QE is another. The purpose of these crimes is to establish a steep curvature of money-space down to the stock market, so all available money will flow into the Chosen Black Hole.
Because we don't have terminology for gradients, we don't understand why our interest is being stolen by serial killers.
