No Shit Sherlock

It appears that Reeves is just waking up to reality, having screwed (along with Her boss(?) around for so long. As reported today in the Gruaniad and in interview with the BBC.

While it is always good to see a sinner repent, this is more a cretin finally realising that hitting your face against a concrete wall still hurts.

Text from report. Reads ‘ Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, has said the UK’s trading relationship with the EU is “arguably even more important” than its relationship with the US. She made this comment in a BBC interview from Washington, where today she is meeting her US counterpart, Scott Bessant. Reeves told Faisal Islam: I understand why there’s so much focus on our trading relationship with the US but actually our trading relationship with Europe is arguably even more important, because they’re our nearest neighbours and trading partners. Obviously I’ve been meeting Scott Bessent this week whilst I’m in Washington, but I’ve also this week met the French, the German, the Spanish, the Polish, the Swedish, the Finnish finance ministers - because it is so important that we rebuild those trading relationships with our nearest neighbours in Europe, and we’re going to do that in a way that is good for British jobs and British consumers. In one respect, this is a perfectly mundane thing to say. The only controversial thing about it should be Reeves’s use of the word “arguably”, because saying that trade with the EU is more important than trade with the US is just a statement of fact. (They are not even close; on all measures, the EU trade is much larger.) But it is still unusual to hear a Labour minister talk like this given that the government is normally very nervous about sounding remainy, and the statement somewhat undermines Starmer’s ‘false choice’ argument.’

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

[Wolfgang] Pauli…sought a positive way of expressing the irrational, which in itself represents a term that is defined by what it is not. … He stated that because the models of science necessarily build on the possibility of making general statements; they are dependent on testability by repetition. This, of course, excludes from the very beginning any reference to something unique. Pauli’s goal was to find his way to a worldview that was open enough to include the irrational, a model of reality that could actually incorporate the qualitatively unique.

the essential #psychological failure of #toxicIdealism is as follows:

if one can justify a position inside the ivory tower mind palace of one's self-regard, then that is "morality"

no, it's #ego masturbation

true #morality is action, even if it is messy

but they value the purity of themselves, over actually mattering to the world

the real world is too messy, they can't be bothered with messiness

ego over #reality
