Happy (retreaded) Metrology Day!
I'm under the weather this week, just keeping up with courseware, so I'll reprint a condensation of 2017's good three-part Metrology Day salute.

Polistra always marks World Metrology Day. This year her theme is BASELINES. Human perception is never absolute. We measure everything ... light, sound, income, mood, health ... by comparison to a slowly adapting baseline.
Instrumental measurement works the same way. You have to know where the baseline or ground point is, and you have to specify whether your measurement is a delta from baseline or a calibrated absolute.
= = = = =
Part 1.
Back in 2011 I wrote about the 1937 syndicated radio series Komedy Kingdom. I've put the series back into my bedtime playlist, and the show has a new flavor. Obviously the recordings didn't change, but the BASELINE changed, therefore my PERCEPTION changed.
In 2011 the Komedy aspect of the show was most salient. The music was excellent but the Komedy seemed flat compared to the precisely timed wordplay of Fibber & Molly or Burns & Allen.
This year the Kingdom aspect is more salient. I hadn't noticed it before. In the intro to the first episode, Elvia lays out the concept explicitly:
Hello, you merry subjects! A royal welcome to the Komedy Kingdom. Your only passport is a smile, and the only thing you must leave outside the boundary is a case of the blues.
In later episodes the
'conceit' got weaker but the overture made the point every week with the line
Throw away your troubles, cast aside the blues....
As delta from today's baseline, the Kingdom is a virtual enclave, a
hidden valley of empathy where even non-elites can feel like citizens.
= = = = =
Of course today's comedy is INFINITELY more precise and exact than any non-enlightened 1930s humor.
Today's comedy is AS FOLLOWS, VERBATIM, WITH NO DEVIATION PERMITTED.

Part 2.
In electrical terms the purpose of all
cultural tyrants from Robespierre to Lincoln to Lenin to Hitler to Soros is simple.
Cut the ground wire. Remove the baseline.
A culture that has an earth ground, a firm zero-point reference, can't be yanked around in every possible direction to satisfy the blood-fetish of Maximum Leader. Human actions and cultural components have strict limits on gradients. When people and cultures are grounded, the parallel impedance of mass elements absorbs small delusions easily and refuses to be pulled up beyond natural limits.
Tyrants succeeded in cutting the ground wire for EU/US/UK. Now these areas can be charged up to infinite gradients by all sorts of bizarre unnatural voltage patterns.
In the modern world Russia and Africa have remained grounded. Their cultures have a double-ought copper bus bar to God, a permanent lock to the zero-point of Natural Law.
When ungrounded cultures get charged up to fantastically high voltages, they always gain the delusion that they can grab Russia or Africa and pull them up to "civilized" standards. The grab always fails and the result is a shocking discharge.
= = = = =
Illustrating the point.
First, we have our familiar
Sorosian characters. Humanoid entities of variable gender, equipped with trapezoidal glasses and trapezoidal mouths. They live in Laputa, the cloudland of projectors. Of course Swift's neanderthal gender-binary name is unsuitable, so it is Lxputx now.
Let's put them into motion and place a voltmeter to ground.
As is typical of SorOS, their action is perfect chaOS, and their charge is equally random.
= = = = =
On the opposite side of the world we have a pair of RUSSIANAGGRESSIONS who are doing what RUSSIANAGGRESSIONS always do. AGGRESSING! MEDDLING! INTERFERING! HACKING! ATTACKING the poor defenseless Lxputxns MERCILESSLY!
Well, not really. They're just doing what Russians like to do, so their action needs no animation and their GROUNDED culture needs no measurement. Zero volts gradient from God.
= = = = =
Now we see what happens when Lxputx gets one of its random impulses to extend the
Gentle Wand Of Democracy And Civilization toward the benighted RUSSIANAGGRESSIONS; accompanied, of course, by millions of troops, bombs, rifles, tanks, etc, seasoned to taste.
Nuff said.
= = = = =
Part 3.
The previous observation is a definite correlation. Here's a more hazy and less obvious correlation.
= = = = =
Grounded cultures are unafraid of closeness and touch. If people want to hold hands, fine. A certain amount of rough stuff and horseplay is also fine among friends.
Ungrounded cultures are SCARED SHITLESS of all contact. The digital principle of
leverage applies. One touch and you've crossed the line.
= = = = =
Think of Africans, Persians and Russians. All grounded in Natural Law, and all comfortable with closeness.
US/UK/EU: all deathly afraid of any touch.
= = = = =
Okay, got the correlation.
How about causation? Which comes first, grounding or comfort? I think both are parallel results of a single underlying tendency toward connection. Like all human traits, talents and tendencies, this is about half innate and half learned. Genes are part of it but genes can be overcome by training. Russians and Swedes are genetically similar but opposite in grounding and coziness.
USA STRONG and Brazil are a good test case. Both contain a similar mixture of Euro and native and African genes. Brazil is solidly cozy, and USA STRONG is solidly isolated.
Before 1946 we were more comfy but never as tight as Brazil. The change started in '46 when we ceded control of culture to Globalist Experts. The Experts (authors, doctors, psychiatrists, lawyers, "judges") worked together to break loose all ties to the ground of God, and to treat all normal contact as crime.
Globalism requires USA STRONG to be the Consumer and
Debtor. We can't be perfect Consumers and Debtors unless we're starved of all contact with reality, morality and emotion.
Casual contact provides a
steady slow discharge of both affection and anger. Productive MANUAL jobs channel emotions into the satisfaction of completion. Zero contact and zero production: all emotions build without discharge. Result: Violent unsatisfied desires. The unsatisfied affection is channeled into consumption; the unsatisfied anger into violent crime and permanent wars, both justifying STRONG tyranny.
