Ithaka Should Hit a Million in Three Months

Amazing as it may seem, Ithaka will get over a thousand reads even on a bad day and runs two or three thousand a day when ...

the beloved Russkis come
duck-hunting season starts
they're looking for sex dolls and they're really confused

so I have no idea why that happens.

Projecting at least thirty thousand reads a month forward gets it done in four months and at forty thousand a month then it hits in three.  Yahoo.

Even when people are really, really pissed, Ithaka still stays at a thousand or better and, again, I have no idea why.

Maybe it's the science.


Nah, couldn't be that.

There is a generally prevailing sentiment in America along those lines, encouraged mightily by media where they make as much of a joke as possible of science.  They almost openly mock Stephen Hawking and he admittedly doesn't help too much with some of the hysterical cries he's been throwing lately.

Ed:  that pitch that we all need to colonize another world in a hundred years or we're fucked is classic!

Yah, it's classic for anyone capable of arithmetic and aware hardly any of us will be colonists ... we're fucked anyway.  Thanks, Steve.  You're a breath of fresh, if completely demented, air.


That attitude of we're fucked is also pervasive since that gives the general purpose excuse for just about anything ... why bother when we're fucked anyway.

Ed:  are you trying to teach Millennials?

Nooooo.  Don't you remember being young at all and what aged goober got your attention at that time, Mister Wizard.  They're not listening and it would surprise me if they did.  However, it's shocking that the "Silent Spring" generation threw over environmental issues and whatnot like they were just more Hollywood party dolls.

They did it because ...

money
ignorance
bloody mindedness
