“And in what business is there not humbug? “There’s cheating in all trades but ours,” is the prompt reply from the boot-maker with his brown paper soles, the grocer with his floury sugar and chicoried coffee, the butcher with his mysterious sausages and queer veal, the dry goods man with his “damaged goods wet at the great fire” and his “selling at a ruinous loss,” the stock-broker with his brazen assurance that your company is bankrupt and your stock not worth a cent (if he wants to buy it,) the horse jockey with his black arts and spavined brutes, the milkman with his tin aquaria, the land agent with his nice new maps and beautiful descriptions of distant scenery, the newspaper man with his “immense circulation,” the publisher with his “Great American Novel,” the city auctioneer with his “Pictures by the Old Masters”—all and every one protest each his own innocence, and warn you against the deceits of the rest. My inexperienced friend, take it for granted that they all tell the truth—about each other! and then transact your business to the best of your ability on your own judgment.” ― P.T.

“Science is another important field of human effort. Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it. In such an employment as that, one might reasonably hope to find all things done in honesty and sincerity. Not at all, my ardent and inquiring friends, there is a scientific humbug just as large as any other. We have all heard of the Moon Hoax. Do none of you remember the Hydrarchos Sillimannii, that awful Alabama snake? It was only a little while ago that a grave account appeared in a newspaper of a whole new business of compressing ice. Perpetual motion has been the dream of scientific visionaries, and a pretended but cheating realization of it has been exhibited by scamp after scamp. I understand that one is at this moment being invented over in Jersey City. I have purchased more than one “perpetual motion” myself. Many persons will remember Mr. Paine—“The Great Shot-at” as he was called, from his story that people were constantly trying to kill him—and his water-gas. There have been other water gases too, which were each going to show us how to set the North River on fire, but something or other has always broken down just at the wrong moment. Nobody seems to reflect, when these water gases come up, that if water could really be made to burn, the right conditions would surely have happened at some one of the thousands of city fires, and that the very stuff with which our stout firemen were extinguishing the flames, would have itself caught and exterminated the whole brave wet crowd!” ― P.T.

Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing. If a man has not the pluck to keep on advertising, all the money he has already spent is lost.
Small doses of advertising result in nothing, obviously. It's like giving a sick person half the medicine he needs. It just causes more suffering. Give the whole dose, and the cure will be certain and decisive.
That's pretty expensive... how can I get the money? Maybe I should ADVERTISE in the newspaper... you know how the public loves a goofy Donald Trump story!
...and if I focus on one trivial thing, like rising CO2 levels, and ignore ALL the rest/ context... maybe I can get THEM to buy ME a new SUPERCOMPUTER!
He seeks "power" just like every good alchemist does. Only for some, it's a 24/7/365 volition, and others an 8/5/252 "job". You can guess which ones become "Supreme Shamans."
I wrote a comment that I did not save. Clicked publish and I saw it. But it's gone now. That was awhile ago. Not retrieved from Spam yet. Minus might say there is nothing there.
No, moron. I cut and pasted from your comment. That's what is called a "quote". I didn't say it. I never will. That's your moronity.
Minus: Power felt as 'Americans" and not just Democrats or Republicans.
As long as they're White christianists. Those are the REAL Americans, right?
Minus: Funny though, most Democrats recognize now that their president is a potato. But then there are the "clingers" like Dervy, who despite all evidence continue to believe in "Biden 2024"....
Most Democrats realize donald tRump is a potato. Rambles insanity like about sharks and being electrocuted by electric boat motors -- which are designed to be watertight. You know, given that they are for BOATS. And boats are surrounded by water when in use.
Minus: Dervy, "Alchemy is BUNK! I only believe in Science!"
Fake quote. I understand the power of what you're referring to as "alchemy". It's the basis for tRumpism. Another example (re how George Soros primarily was referring to it in his book) would be the bigly overvaluation of GameStop stock in 2021.
Minus implies that George Soros is using his wealth to fool voters. But he ignores what Koch (only one brother now) does. Their funding of the astroturf "Tea Party", for example. I have not read the Soros book, but my guess would be that he (re politics) identifies how the right fools it's gullible adherents.
donald tRump is using this strategy by harnessing the racism of low information rightturd voters. It didn't work for Pat Buchanan, but it is working gangbusters for donald tRump.
"Truth" is whatever Minus wants it to be. If he wants it to be true -- and finds some rightturd propagandist that tell him it is -- then it is true.
