Anecdotal
A new poem. A new cartoon. An all too familiar topic.
Your friend’s brother unexpectedly died.
A neighbor passed suddenly, what’s the deal?
Your colleague at work can no longer stride,
An athlete slumps on a soccer field.
It’s anecdotal, a conspiracy, you can’t certify!
Trust yourself—your judgment. Do not comply.
Buy the book: I'm Nobody. Who Are You? Can We Save the World?
Some comments on the book:
“It’s a cool gift for a fellow-dissident friend that can relate to the material. It’s like reading a war journal by someone you never met that was in the same conflict as you; you mostly read it for the good feelings you have as you nod along in agreement and reinforce the neural pathways that got fired up as you lived through your particular shared-but-unshared moment of history’s hell.” —Guttermouth from The Gutter
“I received your book today, and I can now honestly say, I couldn’t put it down. I read it from cover to cover, flipping pages with anticipation and delight. I read words and sentences that sounded as though they were flowing from my own mind (even to the point of reading the sentences that “filled that empty space” at the very end).
I will review. I will share. I will continue the fight of the nobodies of the world.” — John here on Substack
"This was a fun and very funny book, written in an interesting and innovative style. We’re all basically inmates in this open-air asylum known as Western Civilization in 2023. Here’s an enjoyable letter from a fellow inmate to lift your spirits, let you know you’re not alone, and inspire you with the possibility that maybe there are enough kindred spirits that we can change this world for the better. For anyone who feels like our postmodern culture has gone completely crazy, this book will be a thoroughly enjoyable read." — Mr. Thursday, Amazon Review
"A great way to spend an hour or so. The words of so many who love freedom, but who have never written them for others to embrace, are now available in short order and short form.
If you love freedom, reality and truth, all sprinkled with levity, more honesty and bit of snarky meme, this book will delight.
We can, we must, and we will save the world." — John, Amazon Review
This article also appears on my website, The Asylum. The website also has several things that are not possible to do on Substack: The World Economic Forum Members Reference (thanks to Dr. Malone), Red State/Blue State reference showing Senate and House percentages by party affiliation, quotes, a large resources section, a robust search feature and some other things unique to the site: quizzes, word games and leaked communications. These latter three are satirical and funny, at least in my mind, but you'll have to be the ultimate judge on that.
Steve Kirsch just published an article "Why you can't trust the U.S. government data" with this subtitle:
"In this article, I will show you why government data is not trustable. That is why I personally prefer anecdotes that are verifiable when trying to figure out what is really going on."

Here, our unemployment office counts anyone engaged in any kind of approved of and registered activity at least once an hour per week, as "employed", so if I partake in a "how to write a CV"-course one hour per week, I count as employed in official statistics.
Officially the unemployment rate is 6.2% of the 18-67 bracket. The real unemployment rate if only counting people actually working is 9.2%. If removing those employed in tax-funded government programs of various sorts, it's about 14%.
Data exists for various race-groups. It can be summed up as: swedes pay for all the non-whites.
