Remember that quarter-century period that recently ended, when new auto prices DIDN'T GO UP AT ALL (if you believed the @BLS_gov)? That was what went into the CPI, and almost nobody questioned it. Good times. (twitter.com)

This is one good, but wildly dangerous thing about the technocracy that the elites are trying to use to justify ruling over us.

We're not experts. We don't understand complicated things like: math, statistics, definitions, and the difference between "with covid" and "from covid". Only galaxy brained elites can understand such incredible nuance from their magical PhD's.

In reality, they've been fucking with, and altering the raw data to give them the results on paper that they want. The danger in that is that it is no longer possible to know by any formal means what the larger situation is. They don't like the results of the CPI, they change the formula and input. They don't like the jobs numbers? They double count them, regardless of revision. They don't like crime stats, they stop collecting the data. They don't like certain words? They change the definition. Sexual Orientation is a homophobic slur, remember comrade?

You can't run any system like this. It kills the system. You must never change the raw data, even if you are corrupt. If you do, you can't even begin to orient yourself in the right direction to solve the real problem.

What we are seeing here is one of the reasons we can't say with any certainty that the Soviet Union economically recovered from World War 2. We can't take their own bureaucratic numbers at face value, because the numbers are already wrong. Everyone was lying about everything. This is one of the reasons that Mao exported grain during the famine. Yes, he was evil, but he was so stupid in his villainy that his subordinates just told him that they had a surplus of grain while people were eating corpses.

The good news is that this situation is so untenable that because it will inevitably kill the system, our victory is assured. The problem is the danger is so extreme that normally our survival ends up being up in the air anyway. I think we'll make it, but there's no question that our plane is currently falling out of the sky.

The situation's exactly the same as in Asimov's short story "The Machine That Won The War". Everybody knows that the numbers they're getting from other sources are fake, so they have to fake up their own numbers to try to compensate...and soon enough, the greatest computer in the history of the world is more-or-less useless because it has no real data to work with.

Precisely.

In reality, they've been fucking with, and altering the raw data to give them the results on paper that they want.

So why don't you apply this line of thinking to climate change, since that is exactly what is happening with the GISS USGHCN?

I can't answer regarding GISS USCHCN, because I don't know anything about it.

That said, most of the legit complaints I've seen are regarding the extrapolation and interpolation of data. Not actually wrong data. It looks like the graph you have shows an "adjustment". That's not the level of damage to raw data I'm talking about. I'm talking about removing data points or simply recording different numbers within the raw data itself. As in, if the thermometer says 72, and you write down that it said 82. Or you warmed the thermometer.

That is exactly what happened. The raw data no longer officially exists. When you go looking for the raw data they give you the adjusted data claiming it is the raw data. This switch happened nearly a decade ago.

I don't think that's true, but at least we are on the same page.

We won the war by staying home and trying to survive their stupidity.

Some weirdo went and downvoted all your comments over the past day.

Yeah, every time I do a link list post, I get about 3-5 downvotes on everything.
