There will be no show this week as events have conspired against me to the point where I simply do not have the time to do it properly. Even though the show is freely available, I take pride in my work. Putting out a crappy show just to put up something is worse than not doing a show in my view. While the perfect is the enemy of the good enough, you still have to have standards.
In order to do the show each week, it takes about four hours of time. Putting aside any prep work, it takes about ninety minutes to record the show. It is very hard to talk for an hour, so you have to take some breaks. There are always weird noises and interruptions to slow things down. The kittens now have the habit of crashing onto the desk whenever I sit down to do anything, so that slows up the process.
Once the show is recorded, it has to be edited. When your studio is your home office, there are always weird noises that get picked up by the mic. The mic is also much more sensitive than my ears, so editing brings surprises. Last week, one of the kittens was sitting on the desk while I was recording. The mic picked up his purring so it sounded like I was doing the show from a lion’s den.
Editing takes about ninety minutes on good days. Since I am not a sound engineer, there are times when it takes me half an hour to edit out some weird background noise or my own weird noises. If you want to know how poorly you speak, spend a couple hours every week editing your own voice. I can now recognize my verbal tics just by the shape of the sound graph.
On top of the four hours to put the show together is prep time and compiling it for the various locations. Uploading to sites like Rumble only requires a few minutes, but it is not always trouble free. Most weeks it takes an hour to get everything compiled and uploaded to the various platforms. Add it all up and the one-hour show is up to five hours of work each week, spread out over a few days.
This week I was thrown a curveball by the day job. A client had been working on a project for months, but forgot to tell me about it. They needed me to do something that would normally take a couple of weeks, but I had a week to get it done. This week I have been strapped to a screen twelve hours a day. As the deadline grew closer, the work required to finish the project kept growing.
By the time Wednesday rolled around I had done nothing on the show and I had no time to do even a slapdash job of it. Around midnight Wednesday I decided to call it a day and do the show on Thursday. I had got ahead of the project, so I figured I could take the morning to knock out the show. Thursday morning more bad news from the salt mine hit my desk and that meant no free time at all.
The next plan was to do it Friday afternoon or evening, but there is a limit to how much you can use your brain. Around five yesterday I realized that my brain was no longer working very well, so that was it for me. I popped open a Guinness becasue nothing heals the brain like alcohol. As the great philosopher once said, beer is the cause of and cure for all of life’s problems.
A funny thing happens to you when you get consumed by a project. It is as if you have been in exile on a remote island. All of the daily tasks you do out of habit fall by the wayside as you focus only on the work. I have 160 unread e-mails in my work account, which is something that I never let happen. I answer work e-mails right away and then move them to a folder. I am done for the day when the inbox is empty.
Of course, you realize that some of those daily tasks are not important. A man’s schedule is like an empty drawer. It will be filled with many useless things that for some reason you think are important. A week like this revealed a lot of pointless tasks on the schedule that can be removed. On the other hand, feeding the cat and taking out the trash are not things that should be ignored.
The other thing a week like this brings to the front of the brain is that the number of capable people is shrinking. For this project I was dealing with a group of people I only met this week. Only one from this new group was competent. He was not always easy to reach becasue he is competent so the demand for his time is infinite. Luckily, he knows this and is also conscientious.
This is something happening all over. The reason Elon Musk could fire eighty percent of the Twitter staff is they did nothing useful. It was not just that they were there for social justice causes, but that most of them were useless. This is always a problem, but it seems to be getting worse. Every company is loaded down with useless people and must rely on a tiny minority to keep the machine running.
It is always a good idea to remember that the cemeteries are full of indispensable men, but I do wonder what happens when the capable retire. For now, there are enough capable people to keep the plates spinning, but at some point, they simply stop either because they are dead or they are tired of carrying the burden. The Western world is headed for a great reset, but not the one the rulers imagine.

Outside of whites and Eastern Asians, no one expects competency so the lack of it won’t be perceived as a problem by customers.
A great example is Mexico, the source of most of our replacements. Mexicans just accept that trying to accomplish anything is a nightmare because the person they are dealing with likely is both incompetent and determined to do the least work possible.
Yes, it will hurt productivity and the economy but things will still be better than Latin America, India and Africa.

Sounds about right for Canada lol. If you show up on time, shower regularly, and don’t steal from the company, that puts you in the top 50% of the workforce. Bonus if you can speak English at a literate level.

I went back to my old job this week. I left because I was the only person in the department working, and the stress of a seven year software project that was about to go live was leading to chest pains. I was the only person anyone contacted, and boy did they. Supervisor, who was also overloaded, eventually informed me I was on call 24/7 – for no extra pay. So I left, and spent a year gardening, playing with my pets, and making expensive purchases that made me happy. But like many Huwhytes….I need more purpose, and two capable… Read more »
I think a large part of the lack in competence is also due to the smart fraction (i.e. White males) being frozen out of the good schools in favor of the vibrants.
Without those credentials, useless as they are, you see more and more young White men being underutilized and forced to work in lower paying, less important jobs. Many are dropping out altogether. Then you have the problem of competent people having a hard time starting a family, while the dummies seem to have no problem breeding like rabbits.
True. Nobody is born an expert at anything, people need to be given work experience, internships, admission to educational programs, and hired onto entry-level jobs that lead to promotions. All of that stuff — literally all of it — may as well have a flashing neon “no white men need apply” sign. Look at the HR ads of literally any major corporation, or the advertisements for any government agency or university program, and you will see nothing but Negroes and women depicted in the most unrealistic manner, e.g., railroads advertising for employees showing a colored woman standing on a locomotive… Read more »
I’m also seeing white men retreating to smaller organizations. We may end up like South Africa, where if you are white and want to work, you need your own business. I wouldn’t say they’re dropping out, but their potential is definitely getting under utilized as “middle manager at some small town construction company” (compared to say, multionational senior manager). Also noticing some rural migration from whites. For the first time in a long time small towns look better kept, and seem to have more activity going on. People have been leaving the cities. Most of them still have families which… Read more »

And what are the competent peepul doing for a paycheck while sitting on their hands?
The novel “Atlas Shrugged” is not the same as real life. Ayn Rand is not a reliable guide to real life.
To some extent you have to believe in the system to be a good consumer and thus need a large income.
What exactly is stopping you from just wearing your socks upside down once the bottom part gets holes?

‘All of you people, getting suboptimal use out of your socks, lining the pockets of Big Underwear, you all make me sick!’

“From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now… 16 years old!”
Esposito, leader of the rebels in the movie Bananas
they are collecting a paycheck same as all the incompetent people around them. surprised i had to make this point explicit.
There’s also deciding when to retire, 2 weeks ago I said F it.
one of the nice things about retirement is not having to deal with the irrationality of modern day workplace. no more managers or supervisors is pretty nice too.
Agree on the whole. But (in my opinion) the novel was apt dramatization of the destination of socialism/collectivism/communism carried, perhaps, to its (il)logical conclusion.
By the way, Rand’s “prediction” of the future US Government was remarkably prescient, in the most general terms of course. The novel emphasizes an ever growing government-business partnership. Better known as coporatism or fascism.
Obviously, a core theme of the story is that the competent men* who really keep civilizaiton running are being shit on until they’ve had enough and drop out of sight.
*Rand even threw in one broad (Dagny), rather progressive for the 1950s.
My wife and I visited a friend and his wife this weekend and we enjoyed dinner, drinks, and conversation. I worked with the husband for nearly three years on a project at his employer.

“The number of capable people are shrinking.”
When I read that sentence, my mind immediately traveled back to earlier in the week, when I was in a doctors office.
The nice south Asian lady behind the counter was having difficulty inputting basic information into the system, and couldn’t open a new patient file. I was patient. She was apologetic.
After struggling for over ten minutes, she had run out of ideas.

No explanation owed, Z. Some of the best free content out there. Beggars can’t be choosers!
“The Western world is headed for a great reset, but not the one the rulers imagine.”
Yep. At the risk of indulging dark, lingering thoughts from the plague era, there are too many consumers and not enough producers.
One wonders against his conscience if the depop crowd don’t end up being antiheroes in spite of being evil bastards. One also hopes if it comes to pass, they go down with the bloom they caused. Play God, get played by God lol.
Painter, you mention the depop crowd and the loathing that they inspire. I understand your reaction. There is something ghoulish about the great reset Davos crowd.
But don’t we need depopulation? Doesn’t the planet have a finite carrying capacity?
For me, being a white nationalist, the issue is simplified. I want my people to flourish, and, if necessary, at the expense of other peoples. I don’t wish for such an outcome, but am ready to face it, if necessary.
“But don’t we need depopulation? Doesn’t the planet have a finite carrying capacity?”
That’s the thing. I don’t know what Earth’s carrying capacity is, but I’m sure it’s much higher than what we’ve got today. Maybe Earth could be turned into Coruscant, but I wouldn’t want to live there, so I’m in favor of fewer people.
I’m an advocate of living closer to nature and letting nature do the dirty work. This people-farming business doesn’t sit well with me at all. But I think the deed’s already been done, so my opinion on the matter is moot, I guess.
If China guaranteed Iranian territorial integrity as we have postured to do in Taiwan, what GAE-ZOG could do about it?
Thanks to some good history by Neofeudal, I think we’re seeing “two man press”, two ganging up to remove the larger one. China, her lands polluted, barren, and with little fresh water, gets good plantation farmland in the US, EU, and Commonwealth; the browns as an enforcer, maintaince, and farm labor class, since the whites will suffer the same fate as urbanites wearing glasses in the Mao Cultural and Pol Pot Cambodian revolutions.

First, “that which does not kill us makes us stronger” is still an evolutionary truism.
Second, life would be boring if not for curveball challenges to stimulate the cerebral cortex.
Third, yes the West is now drowning in deadweight, but we cannot wish or persuade our way out of that dilemma. Only a collapse and return of real hardship can sort the wheat from the chaff.
Fourth, its best to watch the sorting process from a distance.

They would just stall out in the middle of an aisle and stare into space. Most were boomers so I don’t think they were on oxy – although psychotropics could be in play. It was genuinely scary.

*If you want to know how poorly you speak, spend a couple hours every week editing your own voice.* For Christmas 1968 I got a Crown-Corder reel to reel tape recorder. I started recording family and myself on New Year’s Eve at our family table. The next day I played it back and was shocked at the sound of my own voice.

happy *you* stick to it, I meant to say
Yes, Z-man sounds great. he has a nice, rich, deep voice that sounds like brown gravy. I can totally relate to your dismay over the sound of your own voice on tape. Whenever I’ve heard recordings of my own speaking voice I felt utterly mortified, like maybe I should never open my mouth in public again. (Might not be a bad idea, for many reasons.)
What you describe (perceiving one’s own voice as alien) is perfectly normal. I’ve experienced the same. The explanation is probably simply that you’re used to hearing your voice coming from your own mouth, not a disembodied machine. But if you have other familiar voices on the playback, they usually sound remarkably lifelike — except, probably, to the owner of the voice.
Let me take a stab in the dark: “The machine stopped” is a reference to E.M. Forster’s short story.

I can appreciate all the hard work you put in, Zman, especially since your stuff sounds so perfect. I record video on a standard HD camera and edit in kdenlive. I have a terrible habit of stumbling over words and immediately correcting myself which makes it doubly hard to edit. I’ve learned to speak a lot more slowly and carefully.

My most poignant experience was working on a project from hell that had your schedule, but the crunch lasted over two years.

I used to work at a new company that had lots of potential and all of us who were there at the beginning had the opportunity to grow and prosper with it. Everyone was gung ho. 80+ hour weeks were the norm. Eventually, we figured out that this led to a lot of errors, so we put a cap on it at 60.
There are some famous old theorems in the theory of stochastic modelling which hold that once you get “too far” behind the present, you can never “catch up” again, and if you attempt to catch up, then you will doom yourself to being stuck in the past forever [meaning that, say, being two weeks behind on everything will simply be your new normal, from now until the end of time]. In a troubled bidness, management will hire the very moast highly priced “consultants” to invade the orifice and start screaming at the poor wagie wage slave cubicle monkeys to “CUT… Read more »
Many years ago on a SW development project with a very large team, we discovered that one of our colleague who had just departed (for a better job, curse him) had done absolutely nothing on his task.

My only audiobook, so far, was voice acted by me. It’s about eight hours. It took two months to record and three to edit in Audacity.
