Bill Gates....
Do we really want the guy that said that we’d never need more than 640K of memory having any influence at all over our health care?
The guy’s a dolt. A very wealthy dolt, but a dolt nevertheless.

***Slide?***

As is coming out with his connections through his father, Gates was the front man for Microsoft, not the brains.

Most of the "biographies" about famous people are fictional concoctions. These people are put together and marketed like a breakfast cereal.

When I got the lightning bolt on this was when I found out that Houdini was a construct. He was a run of the mill stage magician, working in circuses and broke. His real name was Erik Weisz, and he was born in Hungary. In Chicago, he met some people, and a year later he was making $4500 a week, and getting lavish praise in the newspapers. Police helped him with his stage act. He was one of the early "manufactured" stars. He was probably a spy on the government payroll.

He started traveling abroad, meeting with government officials. There are documents indicating he was involved in espionage, and was a key figure in advancing occult practices in the US, like seances and contacting the dead. His death has never been fully explained. Was his usefulness over? Everything about him was an artificial construct created by powerful people.

Second thunderbolt: Sinatra. Mafia connections, "king of cool."

Heart Throb?

Girls fainted when they heard him sing. That was even used in Looney Tunes cartoons. It was a lie. The girls were paid to swoon.

Don't believe anything you read about the "official" biography of a famous person.

Re Sinatra mugshot:

Never noticed before, but his earlobes don’t seem to match.

_____________________________________________________

Pesky word, that word models. Hearing it much lately by spellcasters on tel-lie-vision.

Looking for multiple meanings in the World of Q, etymologically speaking, this caught my attention as a meaning for model.

“fashion a figure or imitation (of something) in clay or wax,”

This made me think of a golem.

Clay made me think of concrete and how often we have heard that word from many of the spellcasters.

Turns out that the substance concrete is much used in witchcraft for binding verbally and physically. Indications are for strength, path, travel, altar.

Models and clay lead me to plaster and cast. Cast brought me to symbol.

Symbol (the word was applied c.250 by Cyprian of Carthage to the Apostles’ Creed, on the notion of the “mark” that distinguishes Christians from pagans.

Symbol also relates to licence, permit and syn.

Symbolism will be their downfall. It just keeps going.

excerpts
model (n.)

1570s, “likeness made to scale; architect’s set of designs,” from Middle French modelle (16c., Modern French modèle), from Italian modello “a model, mold,” from Vulgar Latin *modellus, from Latin modulus “a small measure, standard,” diminutive of modus “manner, measure” (from PIE root *med- “take appropriate measures”). Sense of “a standard for imitation or comparison, thing or person that serves or may serve as a pattern or type” is from 1630s.

If the Model Boy was in either of these Sunday-schools, I did not see him. The Model Boy of my time—we never had but the one—was perfect: perfect in manners, perfect in dress, perfect in conduct, perfect in filial piety, perfect in exterior godliness; but at bottom he was a prig; and as for the contents of his skull, they could have changed place with the contents of a pie and nobody would have been the worse off for it but the pie. [”Mark Twain,” “Life on the Mississippi,” 1883]

Meaning “motor vehicle of a particular design” is from 1900 (such as Model T, 1908; Model A, 1927; Ford’s other early models included C, F, and B). Sense of “artist’s model, living person who serves as the type of a figure to be painted or sculpted” is recorded by 1690s; that of “fashion model” is from 1904. German, Swedish modell, Dutch, Danish model are from French or Italian.

model (v.)

c. 1600, “describe in detail” (a sense now obsolete); 1660s, “fashion a figure or imitation (of something) in clay or wax,” from model (n.). Earlier was modelize (c. 1600). From 1730 as “construct or arrange in a set manner.” From 1915 in the sense “to act as a fashion model, to display (clothes).” Related: Modeled; modeling; modelled; modelling.

______________________________________________________

golem (n.)
“artificial man, automaton,” 1897, from Hebrew golem [Psalms cxxxix.16] “shapeless mass, embryo,” from galam “he wrapped up, folded.”

cybernetics (n.)

“theory or study of communication and control,” coined 1948 by U.S. mathematician Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), with -ics + Latinized form of Greek kybernetes “steersman” (metaphorically “guide, governor”), from kybernan “to steer or pilot a ship, direct as a pilot,” figuratively “to guide, govern,” which is of uncertain origin. Beekes agrees that “the word has no cognates” and concludes “Foreign origin is probable.” The construction is perhaps based on 1830s French cybernétique “the art of governing.”

The future offers very little hope for those who expect that our new mechanical slaves will offer us a world in which we may rest from thinking. Help us they may, but at the cost of supreme demands upon our honesty and our intelligence. [Norbert Wiener, “God and Golem, Inc.,” 1964]

___________________________________________________________
concrete (adj.)

late 14c., “actual, solid; particular, individual; denoting a substance,” from Latin concretus “condensed, hardened, stiff, curdled, congealed, clotted,” figuratively “thick; dim,” literally “grown together;” past participle of concrescere “to grow together,” from assimilated form of com “together” (see con-) + crescere “to grow” (from PIE root *ker- (2) “to grow”).

A logicians’ term (opposed to abstract) until meaning began to expand 1600s (see concrete (n.)). Concrete poetry (1958), which depends much on the form or shape of its printing, is translated from terms coined independently in mid-1950s in Brazil (poesia concreta) and Germany (die konkrete Dichtung).

concrete (n.)

1520s, “that which is material or not abstract,” a noun use of concrete (adj.). Meaning “a mass formed by concretion” is from 1650s, from the literal sense of Latin concretus. Hence “building material made from sand, gravel, stone chips, etc., cemented together” (1834).
concretize (v.)

“to render (the abstract) concrete,” 1826, from concrete (adj.) + -ize. Concrete itself sometimes was used as a verb in various senses from 1630s. Related: Concretized; concretizing.
concretion (n.)

c. 1600, “act of growing together or uniting in one mass;” 1640s, “mass of solid matter formed by growing together or conglomeration,” from French concrétion (16c.) or directly from Latin concretionem (nominative concretio) “a compacting, uniting, condensing; materiality, matter,” from concretus “condensed, congealed” (see concrete (adj.)). Related: Concretional; concretionary.

symbol (n.)
early 15c., “creed, summary, religious belief,” from Late Latin symbolum “creed, token, mark,” from Greek symbolon “token, watchword, sign by which one infers; ticket, a permit, licence” (the word was applied c.250 by Cyprian of Carthage to the Apostles’ Creed, on the notion of the “mark” that distinguishes Christians from pagans), literally “that which is thrown or cast together,” from assimilated form of syn- “together” (see syn-) + bole “a throwing, a casting, the stroke of a missile, bolt, beam,” from bol-, nominative stem of ballein “to throw” (from PIE root *gwele- “to throw, reach”).

The sense evolution in Greek is from “throwing things together” to “contrasting” to “comparing” to “token used in comparisons to determine if something is genuine.” Hence, “outward sign” of something. The meaning “something which stands for something else” first recorded 1590 (in “Faerie Queene”). As a written character, 1610s.
