This Section is a compilation of Topics & Commentaries of things that i believe are;
Entirely Reasonable Things to Believe.
Many of them may seem obvious to you,
While others may seem Ridiculous...
i would like to assure you though,
despite your lack of awareness of This World,
that all of these dingus' have been thoroughly considered
and are almost certainly, Completely True...!!!
---
Or-- it may be that The World is so utterly different from the way that we percieve it,
Nothing can ever be known about it...

DNA
DNA is A Red Herring
---
It was thought for awhile that there were something like 30,000 good Introns of DNA that made actual Proteins...
But Now;
It looks like that number has been reduced to 25,000 or less...!
Given that a typical page of text has 1000 characters on it,
That's 25 pages of text that make up the instructions for one humanimal being...!!!
Never mind the trillions of DNA couplets...
Most of them are just old candy wrappers,
and probably not even viable instructions for wings or extra organs that have 'turned off'...!
And Plus;
Each of those Introns,
that makes one Protein is all folded up to resemble a Lego Block,
and the functionality of all those proteins results from how these Lego-Blocks fit together with one another...!
Just consider when a baby is being made;
The single cell that you start out as,
divides again & again,
and when it needs to start making a ligament to connect to a bone,
and where to split a blood vessel or when to start making a tiny bump on a vertibrae,
that has to be encoded somewhere...
the cell has to be told when to do that...
which means that every little spot where there's a decision to be made,
that has to be in the DNA...
and there are A LOT MORE than 25,000 of there Decisions...
if that's all your DNA did...
But of course,
it does A LOT MORE than that...
it has to make all your tissue types
& encode parts of your brain to process visual information,
and how to suck on a nipple...
PLUS SO MUCH MORE...!!!
So to rescue DNA, they ( Scientists ) are now suggesting that the good Introns mix & match themselves to make a huge vocabulary of 'words' from these basic 25,000 'letters'...
BUT --
Where does the Dictionary Reside that tells where and how the letters are to be arranged...???
And Plus;
If every little instruction provided by the DNA is now an assemblage of Introns,
Then how would EVOLUTION ever work...???
If any given Intron were to mutate,
then it would almost certainly mess up all the words that it was a part of...
So that it either wouldn't fit together with them,
OR cause Crazy Changes throughout the entire organism...!!!
There could never be 'Tiny' Evolutionary Changes...
There could only be HUGE, devastating Changes...
and how often would such a catastrophic Collection of Changes be to the organisms benefit...???
--
In Short:
If DNA isn't the Blueprint of how were made...
Then what is...?
Maybe Reality itself is all wrong...?

Public Education
Schools Aren't Failing to
Make Our Children Smart;
They're Succeeding in
Making them Stupid!
---
Whenever i suggest to someone that EVERYTHING that children are taught in our ( USA ) public school system is falsehoods & lies...!
[ See: Everything is Wrong Reading List ]
They respond in a manner that would insist that this is an obvious exaggeration...!
But --
The more i think about it;
The more i'm convinced that there are so few 'accuracies' in the materials that are being infused into our children;
That 'Everything' is more accurate,
and qualifiably simpler,
than to include amoung the grand mountain of nonsense,
those few exceptions.

One of my Grand Pet Peeves is the frequently demonstrated case of
Which will fall faster;
The hammer or the feather!
This experiment supposedly dates back to the experiments of Galileo...
or Newton... or Bill Bixby... ( ??? )
Anyways;
i'm sure you're familiar with the basic premise;
If you were to drop a hammer & a feature
( in a vacuum to be especially accurate )
Which would fall faster...?
The Populist Answer is that they would fall at the same rate...!
Which is Completely Wrongity Wrong, and Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...!!!
It couldn't be more Wrong.
The Correct Answer is;
The Hammer.
The confusion is brought about by the substantially greater size of The Earth than either The Hammer or The Feature...!!!
The Difference between
The Accumulative Gravitational Attraction of The Earth
& The Hammer,
and The Earth & The Feather...
Is Very, Very, Very, VVVEEERRRYYY TINY...!!!
But the sum of the Earth & hammer is greater...
This would be alot easier to see if you were dropping
The Moon & The Feather on The Earth,
Rather than the hammer & feather...!!!
---
Why is this so bad...
Because it's teaching children ( and many adults ) to THINK BADLY...!!!
---
Another of my pet peeves is teaching children that our modern mathematical system was brought about substantially by the introduction of the ZERO...!
Without the Zero, so it is said;
We would be unable to Add & Subtract with the ease that we do...!
i would be willing to concede that if we were choosing between the Roman System of Alphanumerics & our current middle eastern collection of actual numbers...
The numbers win.
But if you instead took the numbers and simply removed the Zero...
Allowing for one between 1 & -1... and that's all...!
You could still have a perfectly viable system of mathematics,
and be able to add & subtract,
multiple & divide,
and use nonecimal fractions with the same ease that we do now...
( allowing for a few months of getting used to it...! )
It's a little confusing trying to demonstrate this system with numbers,
so; instead, i'll give you a brief introduction using the alphabet,
because you don't have any...
( ...preconceived ideas about how alphabetic characters should behave as quantitative symbols...??? )
---
For this example;
The base we'll be using will have 26 numbers;
A through Z
A will be One,
B will be Two
and so on...
Until Z equals TwentySix.
THEN; Without the Zero;
TwentySeven will be AA.
Using the same method as we do with a base ten system of 'Numbers';
You can break this down into columns
with The lefter most A being equal to One Set of TwentySix's,
and the Righter most A being equal to one set of One.
TwentySix Plus One Equals TwentySeven...!
TwentyEight would then be AB...
and so on.
Natureally;
You can then create a Table of Addition & Multiplication,
which would be memorized as Decimalians memorize theirs and off you go.
The Necessity of Zero is A BIG FAT MYTH...!!!
---
Think Dang It...!!!
---
Refute all that crazy nonsense that they've filled your head with...
You'll be far better off,
if you simply recall various items that you've been taught, a
nd Believe Exactly the Opposite...!!!
( The exceptions to this rule are so few that when you encounter one,
it will be immediately obvious & reversible before extensive monetary damages should occur. )
---
Another Case is The Seven Simple Machines!
The Seven as they are commonly listed are:
The Lever / & Fulcrum
The Incline Plane
The Wedge
The Screw
The Pulley
The Wheel & Axel
And The ---?--- ( i thought that there were seven...??? )
---
Clearly;
The Incline Plane and The Wedge
are the same tool.
It's only that one moves through the material being separated,
The other remains stationary while the material moves on one side of the Wedge.
It's basically a topological problem...
Likewise;
The screw is an Incline Plane/Wedge,
that is wrapped around an Axel.
And why does the Wheel get an Axel,
while The Pulley, which is the same tool, does not...!
Again;
The Wheel moves along a Track,
While the Track moves around a Pulley.
As For the Lever,
It's a self contained Inclined Plane,
and isn't a Wheel a circular Lever,
where as the Fulcrum is the axel...
Visualize a ball being thrown essentially horizontally...
vs- being thrown so hard that it reaches orbital velocity...!
The Wheel as a Lever demonstrates the same relationship...!
---
It seems to be that The Seven Simple Machines
are Actually manifestations of a single principle,
While there are countless other Machines that are not mentioned...
Just what is a Machine anyways...???
Is a Diode a Machine,
A Hole...???
A Sphere...?
A Flat Surface Plane...?
A Hollow Space...?
( Daoists & Buddhists would say: Yes! )
A String...?
An Axel is Clearly a Machine in itself...
Can a Simple Machine have parts...???
How many Parts...???
If you allow a Lever to have a Fulcrum,
( A stick; which is an independent machine, with a vertice )
Then why not Let 5 or 6 parts form a simple machine...???
---
Are there more examples of stupid things ( Just Plain Wrong Things ) that you've been taught at School...???
[ Send them in...!!! ]

The Damp Masses
People are Morons
...
Honestly...
i believe that if you were to take any major metropolitan city,
And remove the thin upper crust -
( 20% of the brains & creative lumpettes )
The remaining 80%;
in as little as six months,
would revert to their natureal social state of something very much like a chimpanzee culture, only without all the mutual grooming.

( or : An Introduction to The Infinite Continuum of Realities )

This ( The World ) is:
i'm convinced;
A Screen Saver Reality.
---
It has incorporated within it,
innumerable clues that 'give it away' as a fake reality.
Such as Gravity.
Or ElectroMagnetism.
Or Consciousness.
---
There's just no way that our brains,
in this reality,
with the physical laws that are governing us,
are going to allow anything as frizzy as Consciousness to exist!
( Are we living in A Universe that is So Cruel,
That it allows us to Be Aware that we are Robots. )
---
What good does knowing this do you?
In "The Matrix";
Neo is allowed to fly around and morph into the machine representation of Mr. Smith,
Just by 'Knowing'
( Really, REALLY TOTALLY FAWKING KNOWING!!! )
that he's living in a 'Fake' Reality.
---
i just don't see that happening.
In my interpretation;
There's this thing,
One Reality Layer; Up,
that is Generating our Reality...
And i call it;
Blandly enough: The Reality Generator.
---
The Reality Generator.
To better understand how The Reality Generator, that produces Our Reality Works...
It might be beneficial to Make One For Ourselves...!!!
How much trouble would it be to create a Virtual ( Fractional ) Reality that is every bit as real as Our Reality... ???
The first problem is that if we want to put 'Real People' into our fractional reality--
Ones that can think & exercise freewill; Just like us... ( ? )
We're already stuck -- because no one knows how to do that yet...!!!
---
But -- If we step aside that for the moment...
Let us move on to other things.
To begin:
Let's first 'Allow' that THIS Reality is Pretty Much Exactly As It Is.
That is;
It's really real.
---
[ This contradicts our original thesis,
But we're only pretending to imagine that it's really real--
as a point to take off from...
We don't REALLY believe it,
But we have to start somewhere... ! ]
---
So -- If this Reality; is Really Real,
Then WE are Really Real.
Our bodies and BRAINS are Really Real,
and within Each Persons Brain
Is a Complete MODEL,
A Schematical Model of
THE ENTIRE FREAKING UNIVERSE...!!!
---
It's missing a lot of the fine details,
But everyone that is walking around has within their own minds,
a fully functioning,
100% viable
representation of reality.
---
NOW...
If we wanted to create A Fractional Reality of our own,
that filled a volume of 14.7 Billion Years across,
back & forth,
up & down,
side to side...
We'd only need to obtain a hard drive,
with the holding density of a human brain,
about the size of a human brain...!!! { ??? }
---
To make the whole thing work really well,
and to allow some margin of error to creep in along the edges...
and to allow more than just one fully autonomous person to inhabit our reality...
We'd buy one several times that size...
One that we could fit under the table,
or in the closet.
---
But Still...
Even if there were only a few dozen 'Real People' inhabiting our reality...
And making everyone else just 'puppets'...
we would still need to perform numerous 'tricks' to make the whole thing work...
( ? )
---
One trick is a routine that we could superimpose on our participants psychics, that would provide them with 'A Sense of Familiarity'...!
Let's say that our Alpha participant is walking through a neighborhood several blocks from where she lives...
To save memory, We never actually created a permanent model of this neighborhood,
but we merely mapped it out as 'A Neighborhood' and whenever one of our 'Conscious Participants' penetrates one of these regions,
The Computer generates a neighborhood 'On The Fly' and 'Inserts' into the mind of our participant A Sense of Familiarity!
---
i think that the Reality Generator that Creates our reality must use something very much like this, because it seems to me that 'My Environment' is changing a little bit from time to time,
and that The Familiarity Routine has some 'Bugs' in it,
so that i'm left with a sense that it's NOT Familiar...!!!
Things that really shouldn't have changed...
Have changed...!!!
Is it me; Or The Reality?
---
Another Trick that our Fractional Reality might employ is to
Only model things that need to be modeled.
If our Conscious Participants have never been to Australia,
then there's no reason to actually generate any details of what's there.
When one of our participants looks at a photographic book of Australia,
then our computer generates pictures on the fly,
and... perhaps ...makes a set of notes that will be used later to ensure consistency when a participant looks at another book or actually visits there.
---
The Fractional Reality that we're going to create should hold many surprises for US...
So that our computer will only generate new phenomena when a participant demands it,
and the resulting phenomena will be what the participant expects...
( more or less... )
This means that if they've never cut into an actual pig before...
they won't know what to find...
It could have anything inside there...
But they will probably have some expectations of what they will find,
So the computer examines their minds and generates a reality that won't startle them 'too much'...!
---
Does this mean that the computer has to be conscious itself...???
Well --
It should be MORE conscious or 'Able' than the participants...
So from our perspective of watching and interacting ( ? ) with the participants,
We'll also be interacting with the computer that generates that reality...!!!
If we're playing [ gawd ] --
Then the computer that's creating our play-time reality will be our Angels...!
They'll be doing all the real work, and we can influence how things go from time to time...
Just like The Gawds that are supervising Our Reality.
---
One of the most annoying 'Attributes' that is often placed on our gawd
is the varying forms of omnipotence and being All Good and so on...
This is COMPLETELY UNWARRANTED...!!!
---
The real gawd that is overseeing our reality,
is in all probability,
a 12 year old tentacled insectoid;
using off the shelf software,
on a computer that's been obsolete for 15 years.
---
THEN:
To make everything even hinkier...
The computer that's generating our reality is hooked up to the internet,
so that [ people ] all over that world can watch us...
We're it's Home Page...!
But --
This also allows other 12 & 15 year olds to HACK INTO OUR REALITY...!!!
Maybe this would explain Flying Saucers, Ghosts
& a Whole Slew of Other anomalous Phenomena...!!!

Just like The Gawds that are supervising Our Reality.
---
One of the most annoying 'Attributes' that is often placed on our gawd
is the varying forms of omnipotence and being All Good and so on...
This is COMPLETELY UNWARRANTED...!!!
---
The real gawd that is overseeing our reality,
is in all probability,
a 12 year old tentacled insectoid;
using off the shelf software,
on a computer that's been obsolete for 15 years.
---
THEN:
To make everything even hinkier...
The computer that's generating our reality is hooked up to the internet,
so that [ people ] all over that world can watch us...
We're it's Home Page...!
But --
This also allows other 12 & 15 year olds to HACK INTO OUR REALITY...!!!
Maybe this would explain Flying Saucers, Ghosts
& a Whole Slew of Other anomalous Phenomena...!!!
The Bible...
The Bible was Written by Satan!
( or : Only Atheists will Get Into Heaven! )
...
If you think about what is in The Bible much--
Then you probably are not a Christian.
---
Those that do think about what's in there are a mixed sort,
But what i've been thinking about lately is that most everything in
The Bible is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of
what i WOULD EXPECT from a Supreme Being.
--
When i say 'Satan' --
i should clarify that 'My Satan'
is probably a little different from 'Your Satan'.
---
Just as 'My Gawd'
is probably a little different from 'Your Gawd'...!
---
My Gawd;
For example is the creator of this Fractional Reality Spectrum.
This layer.
Gawd has his, or her, own layer,
and it might very well be; That it's just as phony as ours...!
---
That is;
i believe ( ! ) that our reality;
This Layer;
Is just one of An Infinite Continuum of Realities.
( i sometimes call this a 'Screen Saver Reality' )
---
There is a bottom to The 'Real' Universe,
and that bottom is called: The Kitchen Floor.
But for the time being; Let us not digress too awfully much.
--
Satan is NOT the exact opposite of Gawd;
Satan is more like The Mischievious ID of Gawd,
or his little sister,
or a hacker from across the street.
Gawd & Satan probably know each other,
( If they're not the same ( person ) )... [ ??? ]
---
The point being;
Is that Satan is working with Gawd
for some end purpose...
And that is --- ???
---
But!
They have left us some clues.
Let us first take into consideration that some humanimals are smarter than others,
and that we ( we believe we do )
have something like Freewill...
( Consciousness )
And that Gawd may be interested in Harvesting
The Good Ones { Free Agents } Amoung Us... ( ? )
---
To do this ---
( This is NOT an Original Idea...
It's been battered around by a number of other authors & philosophers... )
--- Satan has written a clever little book
( amoung others ) Called The Bible.
---
And in it:
He promises you a Heavenly Respite when you're dead,
And all you have to do is a few ( arguably ) Nutty Things...
Like Mutilate your Genitals,
Stick your Head in a Bucket of Water,
& Completely Turn Your Brain Off.
---
If you don't do these things;
You'll burn in Hades for All Eternity.
--
At any given time in History;
When people ACTUALLY BELIEVED THIS BOLOGNA,
Just try to imagine how BRAVE
and HEROIC
and TRUE you would have to be to yourself
to TURN AWAY FROM THAT...
to SEEK THE TRUTH,
and TRY TO BE REALLY GOOD...!
( that is; Seek genuine truth & goodness )
---
[ it might be noted that people that BELIEVE in 'That Crap' already think they know the real truth & what goodness is...
Persecuting gays for example;
murdering innocent Islamic children,
ignoring reality...
and so on... ]
---
Digression:
One thing that most annoys me about 'Gawd' and 'The Bible' is that;
It seems to me that if Gawd really wanted to leave us 'A Message' --
Then s/he would have done it in such & such a way so that it would be impossible to misinterpret or corrupt it in any way...
and The VERY ANTITHESIS of this would be to leave this message in a book,
written in a dead language.
--
The Best way:
Would be to leave the message In The Universe Itself...
And THEN:
It would be available to ANYONE,
ANYWHERE
without a priestly class to interpret it for them...!
You wouldn't have to join a club to find this message,
all you have to do,
IS LOOK AROUND YOU...!!!
--
Alright...
So some people are really dumb,
and they wouldn't be able to 'figure this message out'...
Does that mean that they would go to hell...???
NO!
If you'll recall --
The entire idea of hell is to make,
Turning Away From Gawd
a particularly Heroic & Noble Act of Truth Seeking...
It ( Hell ) doesn't really exist...
---
So what would be in This Message...???
( The Message that's embedded into the Universe itself,
and requires a large, active brian to find it...! )
---
Bonus Extras!
---
You'd get into Heaven without them,
But they're just something a little extra for people that want to keep busy.
--
So: The end point is that--
Only Atheists will Get Into Heaven.
---
And the people that believed all that crazy nonsense in The Bible...
What will happen to them when they're dead...???
i don't know what will happen to you...
Perhaps...
Either you'll go to a really lame heaven,
or suffer the indignities of reincarnation,
or something else...???

Secret Societies...
There are Various
( Partisan & Non-Partisan )
Secret Organizations
Operating Around Us...
---
It seems entirely reasonable to me that at some time in the past,
possibly recently,
but more likely--
thousands of years ago;
a particularly smart person knew another particularly smart person,
and they decided to start a club of smart people that shared ideas & resources and then;
as these things often do--
Became A Secret Society.
---
NOW
It should be noted that
ALL OF THE SECRET SOCIETIES
THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT...!
Is not THIS Secret Society.
!!!
---
i'm talking about THE REAL ONE...!!!
All the 'Other' Secret Societies are just 'a bunch of guys'
( usually just guys )
that have formed a club & like to spank each other while wearing Halloween masks.
---
This Real Secret Society that i'm referring to has a name
( almost certainly )
But i don't know what it is.
IT'S A GAWD DANG SECRET...!!!
---
So anyways...
What's so special about THIS Secret Society...?
Well --
Depending upon when they formed;
They are probably hundreds or thousands of years more technologically advanced than
'The rest of us'.
Are they the ones buzzing around in
'The Flying Saucers'...???
Are they the 'Men in Black'
( And by this; i mean
'The Tricksters that have appeared throughout humanimal history,
and not just the recent spate of 'AirForce Operatives'
that seem principly interested in UFO's. )
---
Are they good or not very good,
or like most smart people...
Just want to be left alone to 'do their thing'...???
---
Who knows...???

Suppressed Technologies...
Various Technologies
are Being Suppressed
---
Do you remember back to when the first computers came out...
The old Atari's, Commodore's & Apple's
( When they were called Apple's and Not PC's!!! )
Well;
You may also recall that many of those primitive machines came with their own programming languages, and many came with, or you could easily buy from a 3rd Party Vendor,
A Simple Robot that would roll around on the floor, and draw flowery pictures or mark up the linoleum...!
---
Now-- Centuries later;
You Can't buy an easy to use Programming Language
anywhere,
for any price,
and Robots,
The dream of the 21st Century
to put us all in hammocks for the rest of our lives
have mysteriously disappeared as well...
---
Even the 'Fancy' Robots that are now coming out of Japan
are LESS SOPHISTICATED
than the robots that Disneyland had 50 years ago...
and can barely hold their own against the rare,
but exquisite mechanical robots from the 1800's...!!!
---
What The Heck Happened...???
Even The Lego Robot Kit,
The only robot kit on the market;
Is specifically designed so that you CAN'T make a viable robot with it...
Have you seen any...???
No!
You haven't...!
---
And it may well be that somebody,
somewhere,
figured out the obvious problem with robots...
And that is;
They're as Dangerous as An Auditorium full of Monkeys with a Chain Saws...!
---
Can you imagine what would happen if 12 year olds could actually built a platform that was fully autonomous and was mounted with a video camera, BB gun or aerosol Can & a BIC lighter...???
---
And what happens when they turn 16...???
---
The question is;
Who has the power to suppress an entire industry like this...
All over the World...???
What if JUST ONE TROUBLE MAKER...
( like me )
...Were to tell you how FAWKING EASY it would be to turn an HP48 Programmable Calculator and a pocket full of NAND circuits into a BalsaWood automaton that could use The Network of GPS Satellites to fly anywhere in the world and act like a 20 Million dollar Cruise Missile...!!!
( For less than 600$ )
( ? )
---
The World would End.
---
Who can stop Me...???
There is only one answer;
Time Travelers from The Future.
---
Believe me restful readers
They are doing their job.
( for good or ill )
are Being Suppressed

Aliens...???
We are The Property of Aliens:
---
( Extraterrestrial Aliens)
---
Some time ago The Magazine 'Scientific American'
distributed an issue that asked The Question:
"Where are They?"
Meaning; The Aliens...
The Walking Fish People, Greys, Martians or The Rarely witnessed; Ronald McDonald.
---
This article; by a Prestigious Scientific Tabloid,
Gave this dilemma some authority that it had previous been lacking...
Pseudo-Skeptics, and their gulible lackies,
have long held that the other stars, even within our own Milky Way Galaxy,
are just too dang far away for any civilization,
irregardless of how technically superiour they are,
to journey from there to here...
Well-- Scientific American said "BUNK!"
---
That's just silly--
Just because we can't travel to the stars in our dewy eyed foreseeable future,
doesn't mean that nobody can...
---
Furthermore;
If there was another planet, Just like Earth ( Hypothetically Pondering )
And it was way over on The other side of The MilkyWay Galaxy...
About 300 Million Lightyears away...
And they started out at the same time we did,
and duplicated all our biological & climatical events... ( and so on... )
...so they were just like us...
EXCEPT FOR ONE DETAIL...
And that is that they never had an Age of The Dinosaurs...!
So that when they got around to evolving Something like Humanimals
and discovering electricity...
They would be about 300 Million years ahead of us...!
With that TINY advantage...
And allowing that they would NEVER be able to build spaceships that could travel faster than the speed of light,
and perhaps never faster than 10% of the speed of light...!!!
THEY WOULD STILL...!!!
...HAVE COLONIZED THE ENTIRE MILKYWAY GALAXY BY NOW...!!!
( It would actually take alot less time than 300 Millions Years...!!! )
---
So considering that some other planet may have only a couple of million years advantage over us, and that they could travel faster than light, or pretty fast by our standards...
They really, really should have been here by now. --
---
Of course;
A lot of people think they ARE HERE...!!!
But the pseudo-skeptics will only be satisfied when they hover over The White House or Kremlin and drop from their circular windows; toy monkeys that will cure cancer or tell us how to eat whatever we want & stay thin.
---
Regretfully;
That will NEVER HAPPEN...!!!
Movies & Books that have lightly discussed this issue,
routinely give their Ant Headed Visitors either a desire to conquer our world and eat our delicious brains, or invite us to join their club of space ship racing dune buggies...!?!?
Well--
The simple truth is:
If they're coming all this way for something...?
What is it that we have, That they don't?
Water, Gold, Uranium...???
Beef Flavored French Fries...???
They could easily find or make these sorts of things with their commonly available 'Horn of Plenty' Generators and atom splicing 'Vacuforms'.
---
The one & only thing that we have that they don't have,
and can't make,
at any cost...
Is that we're WEIRD...!!!
REALLY FAWKING WEIRD...!!!
---
And by this i mean; Unique.
---
The way we do mathematics, compose music, construct language, consider what is a simple machine and what is not...
These represent one case example in the infinite diversity of evolutionary variation...!
They might try to create something as boneheaded as our multiplication table...
But they'll never be able to come up with it on there own...!
Because they're not as Weird as We Are...!!!
AND THEY WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO SPOIL US...!!!
---
Like contact us overtly...?
Plus;
Since they probably seeded us here;
( Consult a book on Biological Diversity and look up
"Burgess Shale Repository of Fossils" )
With DNA that they invented and hold a patent on...
They own us; ( ! )
And are shielding us from contact with other extraterrestrial races...
If any others even exist
( that they don't own or control )...!
---
That's why we can't find any of their radio stations, and why they haven't landed in front of an independently owned Television Station.
The good news is;
So long as we STAY WEIRD and keep producing our Unique Version of Popular Culture;
They'll protect us from The Klingons ( et. al. )
& ourselves...

TimeTravelers
from The Future
are Shaping Our TimeLine
...
It seems to me that there are a lot of strange & unexplainable circumstances that while--
May be explained away with statistical charts & professionally produced bar charts;
There remains an ill taste of that, that comes from untreated bed sores often found on the sweaty flat surfaces of elderly people with neglectful children.
---
i am speaking most purposefully of the sorrowful absence of
Assassinations in This Country... ( US of the A's ).
While elections are commandeered by bloated, twangly judges that you or i wouldn't hire as assistant managers for an all night restaurant;
And While Corporate officers of Multinational Conglomerates Rape our Grandmothers--
The Damp Masses sit idly on their pianoless fingers & hum tunes from advertisements that they laborously memorized during their sad & unwashed childhoods.
Or so it would seem...???
---
Why is it that everywhere else in the world;
When two grown men have a reasonable disagreement about the price of carrots
or who was in a long forgotten film made in Japan...
They resort immediately to fisticuffs
or long boards with nails protruding at irregular angles...?
Because in those countries;
They don't have Time Travelers to undo their plain acts of hooliganry.
( Like we do here! )
---
Likewise;
There is a suspicious lack of robot toys & robot toy kits...?
This might be explained away as a conspiracy amoung industrial management guilds...
But how could they control The Mom & Pop businesses from distributing their products...???
...Under tables or by some method similar to Amway...???
No--
The only reasonable solution calls for Time Travelers from The Future.
---
The only question that remains;
Are they acting for our good or theirs? ---

You are Actually 11 Years Old...!!!
The Vertical Apex of
Humanimal Chronophisiometry
is that of An Eleven Year Old.

Have you ever noticed that young children seem to be really smart...
Not only do they learn any given language in a few years,
Without Even Being Taught It!
They rapidly absorb innumerable facts and trivial without a least effort...
---
This phenomena persists until they're 'Around 11'...

And thereafter they seem to become Dumber & Dumber.
Even Humanimals that remain smart throughout their lives,
Were REALLY smart before they turned 12.

And when you examine a Cafeteria of Children,

And make an effort to note their Maturity...
The number of Children with Adult Quality Maturity;
Is Matched by the Adults with Childish Quality Maturity...
This seems to suggest to me that; Maturity is Not Age dependent...!!!

Is it that People are just Fixed from the moment that they're born

Is Not that People are Too Greedy--
The Trouble with The World
is that People aren't Greedy Enough.

This is a very simple idea...
People normally waste their resources in a thoughtless manner,
Which;
If they were more attentive to The Value of Their Possessions,
Would be able to get more out of them,
and in turn-- Require less crap to replace it.

When we apply this simple idea to People;
It means that Employers should be more concerned with understanding their chattel,
So as to Exploit Them in a manner that would be most beneficial to them,

TwentySix Questions...
If The Formatting on this seems "Goofy",
Then i just don't know what to do about it,
'cuz i've worked on it, and worked on it, an worked on it...
and every time i fix one thing, something else breaks...!!!
Oh i hate computers...!!!!
It's this dang Google/Blogspot compiler...!!!
Wouldn't you think it would make more sense for me to get this "all-right" on my local computer
and then send it to them...
But NooOooOooOooo...!!!
They have it rigged so that that every character goes to their computer,
then i see a reflection of it on this terminal,
and then they do some crazy thing to it when i'm not looking...!!!
Honestly... i'll scroll away from something,
and when i come back to look at it a moment later, the formatting will have changed...!!!
Something is definitely crazy here, and it may well be me...
or it might not be...!!! ( ??? )

Is Life Meaningful?
No. How could it be? -- If there were some 'Meaning' that we could look forward to... A Goal, for example, or something marvelous to learn, or to merge with The Unity of The Universe... Eventually... Then once we've done that, Life would be Meaningless. The Race would be won. Given then-- That Life will at some future time, become meaningless, by definition; It is already meaningless.

How should i Act? ( How can i be Good? )
The trouble to trying to be Good is that no matter how you act-- That is; Whatever your course of action may be in any situation, you can never know, at that time, how your actions will 'Play out'. If you believe you are acting for the benefit of others or yourself-- It may well turn out that an hour later, your actions will result directly in circumstances turning around and killing you and everyone around you. Or vice-versa-- The most unrepentant scoundrel will act, by everyone's account, with the most egregious, egotistical & loathsome intentions, Yet, As it so often turns out, they are lifted up and given honors & financial rewards that ordinary & meek minded hamsters like you & me are rarely able to even dream of. -- How should you act, Pragmatically--? Enjoy every moment, Without thinking of your 'morrow.

What's the deal with The Cabbage Codes...?
The Cabbage Codes were developed by Tiny Wanda around 1990 or so... in response to a preexisting fascination with The Gematria & The Cabala in general, as well as Twelfth Century Alchemy & The Cthulhu Mythos-- And The Recently Published Book; The Bible Code. What is most interesting about the Gematria; Is that while it's obviously a lot of Hokum, It's so amazingly complex & able to generate such a rich tapestry of meaningful revelations, that; like The Flying Saucer Phenomena & The Problem of Autonomy-- It strongly suggests that there is 'something else' going on there, that is More True than the Original Topical Material...! For The Gematria, This may be something along the lines that irregardless of how pointless & void of reason a set of data may be-- That alleges to be Irrefutable Proof for some argument, The Damp Masses will eagerly sop it up... Because 'Believing Nonsense' --was for some inexplicable reason; Selected by Evolution or Gawd to be The Foundation for Our Thinking in a Manner which we laughingly call Sentient Cogitation.
But-- Why a Cabbage...???
Why not a Cabbage...! Every Great Religion needs a Symbol that epitomizes all The Irrational & Beloved Dogma that most carefully defines & winnows it from all competing theories & schools of thought. The Cabbage is the most authoritative of all Nature's bounty. There is no living organism that shares the complexity of organic chemistry & geometrical roundness as The Cabbage.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Five
I don't want to belabor this;
But What Exactly does This Cabbage Religion say about Our Existence... ( et. all. )
What many of The Damp Masses don't understand, is that while Science & Religion as they are commonly understood; Are the same thing. Just as Republicans & Democrat's in The United States share exactly the same political ideology, The objectives of Science & Religion are the same: To Construct a Viable Model of The Universe with which they may then make predictions of The Future. Where they both fail however-- Is that both have completely failed to appreciate the importance of their axioms! Our Worship of The Great Cabbage is our attempt to Ally ourselves to a Gawd that, While no more real than any of the other Gawds, Is of such a nature that The True Gawd will be Least Offended by it...! We Genuinely believe that both Science & Religion are not merely Wrong with most of their beliefs, But are Exactly Wrong more often than not. JudeoChristianity, for example, believe more strongly that Their 'Torah/Bible' is Correct; While The Universe is Wrong! It is far more likely; We believe-- That it was the Devil that Wrote The Bible, and it is The True Gawd that remains silent while letting The Universe reveal what it will to us. As Lao Tzu suggested; 'The Spoken Dao is Not The Eternal Dao.' & 'He who speaks does not know, And he who knows, does not speak.' The Cabbage does not speak, and that is reason enough for us to listen to it. ( ! )

Do we have Freewill?
There's just No Way that we can! Every Event in this Reality occurs as the result of some precedent event -- This would apply just as necessarily within the Brain as anywhere else, and as such, make every thought that one may experience, the result of all previous events, not only in the Brain itself, but traceable to the first event, long before our local Big Bang...! If one were to imagine that by adding some 'Quantum' layer or Randomality to this formula, you would find that Freewill results, but that you're actions are then determined by meaningless & haphazard incidents. There are No other possibilities. -- It may be pointed out here though; That If -- Given that all our thoughts are generated by the brain, then there is no practical reason to assume that the causality of the ElectroChemical Effects that generate our meditations are created solely within that hard crust. All your Sensory Perceptions are Just As Responsible for any changes in your Brain to create those ruminations! Likewise, Cosmic Rays that penetrate your skull and knock electrons out of their nuclear orbits, changing your electrolytic balances, Are causing you to think your particular cogitations too! Gravity waves from distant Quasars... AntiProtons from the rims of BlackHoles, spiraling backwards through time... In fact, If such things can happen, That would mean that all events in this Universe, and those events in the future & past -- Are all contributing to The State of Your Mind at any given Instant...! The Entire Universe, This local universe, and all others, Are your Consciousness. So although you don't, You Can't, have Freewill, You at least have Autonomy in that there is Nothing 'OutSide' the Continuum of Realities to Influence you.

What is The Crisis of Contraryism?
Contraryism is the Idea that The Most Reasonable Method of Determining Social Truths, Is to Invert the Proposals of whatever our Politicians &/or Corporate Leaders say. So that anything The President says; A Contraryist would simply arrange into their mind -- The exact Opposite of whatever the meaning of that submission was... Then; You Compare ( in all fairness ) The presumed Truth Value of each Version... Based on what you already know about The World, and such... Which ever is most True, According to this process, is retained for Future Reference. -- The Crisis Occurs when, Within a Popular Sphere of 'News' Both Polar Views Share an Equal Burden of Credibility...! That is -- The Contrarian doesn't ( initially ) know what to NOT believe...!!! The Solution is to Break Free from The Constraints of Thesis & AntiThesis -- To Think Outside of The Box; That the Box Came In...!!! This may require a Considerable Budget of Creative Deliberation...! When asked, for example if OJ Simpson Killed or Did Not Kill Nicole Brown Simpson... It may be that what you should really be wondering about is; Why was Ron Goldman Killed...? Was he the Primary Target? Did Nicole get in the way, not the other way around...??? Did a Flying Saucer Crash in Roswell, or was it a Weather Balloon...? Maybe what you should be wondering is; Why does the Air Force so very desperately want me to NOT believe that it was a flying saucer...??? Maybe because they DO want me to believe that it Might Have Been a Flying Saucer...! Does that sound Crazy...? That's what Contraryism is all about...! Is what 'They're' telling me Too Crazy to Believe, or Not Crazy Enough...!

Was there a Crash of a Flying Saucer at Roswell, New Mexico?
As it was suggested in Seven; The question of whether a Flying Saucer Crashed in Roswell, may not be the 'True' Question...! While some wags will tell you that Aliens aren't visiting us because their worlds are too far from us... It is true that Stars are VERY far from one another, But not impossibly far from one another. It is entirely reasonable that if there was only one other planet in The MilkyWay Galaxy, and it was at the far end from where we are... And the only difference between them & us, is that on their planet, they never had an Age of The Dinosaurs... So that they have a 300 million year jump on us... And further, their Starships are Never able to exceed the Speed of Light -- They would still have colonized the Entire MilkyWay Galaxy by now, and taken over our metropolitan centers many years ago. So Given that No Alien Species has Openly contacted us yet, And allowing that there is most probably many, many civilizations in The MilkyWay Galaxy, and elsewhere, and that The Speed of Light will most certainly be broken, Then there is a BIG PROBLEM...! Some people think that a flying saucer couldn't have crashed in Roswell for the simple reason that flying saucers, being of such an advanced technology, just don't crash...! But this may be an unwarranted assumption. They may be operating at the edge of their technology, just as we are. Another complaint is that if they did crash, why were we allowed to keep it...? That is a good question... Unless-- It's a fake flying saucer, or an obsolete model that they wanted to tease us with...!!! Or is may be that There was No Flying Saucer that Did or Did Not Crash; or Was or Was Not a Weather Balloon...! It may be that the reason we are being made to think that it was or wasn't a flying saucer -- Is to just get us thinking about Flying Saucers...!!! It may be that the reason we haven't seen any Aliens landing on our football fields is that there's a fence around our planet, Telling all 'The Other' Aliens to Keep Away...! It may be that all our Evolutionary Mysteries are made understandable when you come to accept that they ( The Aliens / The Walking Fish People ) MADE US...! That we are their PROPERTY...!!! And that the Alleged Crash of a Flying Saucer at Roswell is just Warming us Up for the Revelation that Harvesting Time is Coming up... Around December in 2012.

Is there Such a Thing as Enlightenment?
( Satori )
All the Worldly Religions that i've encountered so far have the naive impression that this world is the unique creation of some kind of gawd that lives in somekind of heaven, which resides in the true reality.
The Transparent Amoebae Consortium believes that our world ( this visible universe ) is a fractional layer that is sandwiched between an infinite number of parent realities, and a potentiality of realities that we will someday create, or that aliens on other planets have been creating for some time.
One interesting facet of this position is that it presupposes that it is possible to create any number of realities within a nested set of realities, which all have the same 'resolution' of detail...!
That is: It will be possible in a few short years to create fractional realities that set on your desk top,
populated by billions of unique entities, that live in a universe just as big & detailed as the one we live in.
This sounds ridiculously paradoxical, But it is never-the-less true.
The Elemental Key to filling out this claim, is to consider that each individual within that universe, lives only in a small region of their universe, and is aware of only a tiny, tiny fraction of that, at any given moment--
And there may be many 'tricks' to making each individual think that they are experiencing a great deal more 'solid' or 'eternal' reality than they really are.
But i digress.
Concerning Enlightenment; Many of the Religions and Philosophies that promote the idea of a Great Spiritual Awakening-- Depend upon this 'One step up to The True Reality' to allow their adherents to access this realm of Perfect Knowledge & Holistic Wisdom.
But this 'True Reality' that they seek, doesn't exist.
Only layers & layers of variations that are the products of Pure Imagination..!!!.
...Since each of these realities is being generated by a 'machine' of somekind, the properties of each reality are governed by rules that are completely independent of cause & effect.
Gravity; for example, need have nothing to do with Mass or The Curvature of Space--
Things appear to stick to planets, and planets appear to circle suns because there is a simple rule somewhere in each of the realities generators that define the perceptions of it's residents in that way...!!!
---
Having then dispelled the idea that this Enlightenment...
There is another state of mind that is curiously desirable...
It is The Swirliness of Being.
People throughout he ages have spontaneously experienced this state,
for either no apparent reason,
or as the result of rigorous introspection,
or by 'Letting go' of everything that you assume to be true...
( sometimes this act of 'letting go' is obtained accidentally by so thoroughly engaging in some activity that your consciousness to allowed to step aside of what you are doing... and during this period, experience a greater sense of being... such activities are often benign in nature, such as; running, typing, drawing or staring off into space...! Any Religion that claims to have 'secret knowledge' or 'the only path' towards enlightenment or salvation is most certainly -- NOT the true path to enlightenment or salvation. It may be possible to find these superfluous states within these philosophies, but you are just a likely to find what you're seeking taking many other paths as well. )
Films have occasionally tried to capture this illusive quality & called it many different things, if they were intent upon calling it anything at all...
Peter Parker experiences his Spider-Sense in Spiderman; which allows him to become aware of every little thing happening around him...
Philip Fry in Futurama; After drinking 100 cups of coffee, experiences the world 'slowed down' to a pace that allows him to study every detail at his leisure, and save his friends from a rapidly expanding fire.
John Preston as a Warrior Priest in Equilibrium discovers that art & beauty are treasures that shouldn't be surrendered for the sake of peace & security, but finds that his soul can escape the limitations of this reality by 'giving up' everything that he cared about, a state that may be some form of Equilibrium of perceptions & formless awareness... ( ? )
Dory; in Finding Nemo, escapes her ordinary state of 'now' by flashing for a few critical moments on all that ever happened to her ( recently )...
Larry Darrell in The Razors Edge; ( Bill Murray / Tyrone Power ) finds over the course of a wanderous life that life & the world are just to quirky to worry about...
Dr. Alex Lauder in Daughter of The Mind; experiences a simple moment of understanding, by seeing the world through his own imagination, rather than trying to understand how it was created by others...
---
Are any of these mental states examples of 'Enlightenment'...???
Not in the great Zen, Buddhist or Hindu sense... But i doubt that there is some absolute sense of that sort...
If there were, then what is the net effect of it... ( ? )
The Criticism is most often suggested when trying to discourage youngsters from trying mind altering drugs;
To find themselves, or experience the oneness of the universe, is the question:
'What have those that have used these drugs, ever brought back to us, from these trips?'
It is fine to say that you've seen the face of gawd, but what is the tangible effect of that knowledge, on this life? The people that take these trips may insist that they are gaining from these experiences,
but if they are, the results are at best highly ambiguous, and far from compelling.
---
As a side point:
There is something akin to Enlightenment,
Which i would like to call: Awakenings
These are Events, Cultural Niches, Artifacts or Fragment of Knowledge
that Awakens One to The Greater Reality...
Examples::
Learning & Understanding The Proof for An Irrational Number.
Seeing 'The Son of Man' or 'The Castle in The Pyreneses' by Rene Magritte
Discovering that a Common Five Pointed Star has Embedded within it,
Several Golden Ratios.
Learning how a CPU in a Computer Works.
Reading Lao Tzu.
Getting a Really Friendly Back-Rub.
Making a Saw-Tooth Box.

Making a Flint Arrowhead.
Figuring out How a Differential Transaxle Works.

Ten
What is a Fractional Reality?
The idea that reality is 'real' derives from our apparent perception of it as having qualities that we consider 'solid' as measured by our senses... It may well be that these perceptions are strongly weighted by those senses that are attached to our inherent solidity, and the solidity of those senses...
i.e.; Whatever your senses tell you is real, is determined by the 'reality index' of your senses...
Such that; If your reality was severely compromised by a sharp reduction in resolution, then this would be consistent with the physical (?) construction of your sensory network...
e.g.; ( As an Example ) If you were a Lego-Person, living in Legoland, you would most certainly feel that everything around you, and you, were 'real'... But that in a grander scheme of things, your reality would be 'less' than the reality of Organic People with a more highly developed biological framework... or at least, the biological organisms would think so...!!!
Using the Fractional Reality Index, We can then assign a decimal value to any reality that we may perceive, imagine or define in a certain manner...
Zero ( 0 ) would mean that The Reality is NonExistent
One ( 1 ) is the Ultimate Reality
Point Five ( .5 ) Is were You are.
For convenience, and in the absence of knowing were we really are, along the continuum of realities, point five is used as a temporary marker...
At some future time, when we get a better idea of where we really are, then we'll have to change all our other references as well.
What is the functionality of this Index...?
How might it be important to give The Simpson's an index of point three,
and Itchy & Scratchy an index of point two...???
The real usefulness of this is going to become more relevant when we begin to create more viable fractional realities within cogitator environments... and lawyers begin to wonder 'How 'Real' The People are within these Realities...?'
Will it be a crime to torment the beings within a computer/cogitator game environment?
Will be possible to design realities that emulate potential sensory realms of Point Six...
Or TransOne Realities...Realities that are more real than what the greatest gawds may dream of...???
---
i often wonder what it is about the brain, assuming--( perhaps falsely )--that the brain generates our minds, that turns the electrochemical patterns into conscious thoughts... maybe it's the patterns themselves...???
Maybe if you were to create a suitably complex & correctly designed pattern on a sheet of paper, then it would represent a genuine 'instantaneous' thought...! And if you created a series of these designs, they would correspond to a thought of a prescribed measure of time...
But how would the sheets of paper be connected to form this continuance of thought...???
Might it be possible to draw an animated cartoon on celluloid, that along with a sound track, it might also have a consciousness track, and while the cartoon is being shown, there would be, accompaning it, a stream of genuine consciousness associated with the characters as you viewed them...!!!
That sounds crazy... But is the way real consciousness works...So very much different...?
If we're going to persist in believing that We are Conscious,
Then maybe we should consider carefully that we should have available an Fractional Reality Index to give our creations the rights that we think are so important, if they should warrant them...
---
Then: After we've given our animated creations access to our Constitutional Bill of Rights,
We could extent these same rights to People from Other Countries.

Are Flies Conscious?
Flies as a general rule, lead such simple lives that it's hard to tell, from their behaviour, what it may be that they're thinking at any given moment...
( i have chosen flies as the principle example because they're just so adorable...!!! )
But there are other bugs that are about the same size, so we might reasonably expect that their brains are about the same size, and have the same general complexity, and are capable of the same spiritual achievements...( ? )
Such as Ants & Bees, or Dung Beetles-- that might be pushing a ball of dung along a forest floor, when unexpectedly, the ball hits an unseen obstacle...! The Dung Beetle will invariably struggle with the ball for a few moments, then finally leave her position and examine the front of the ball, locating the obstruction, and making all the calculations necessary to free the necessary path for the ball to proceed.
Such behaviour might be achieved with a computer controlled robot, but along with all the other indispensable natural performances, all that software becomes unwieldy at best...
The simplest bugs are capable of the most complex actions, that by any independent summation, will be in the zillions. Using the approach of prewired firmware to handle all these potentialities is clearly untenable.
The elegant solution is simply allow them to have some minimal sense of consciousness.
Curiously; i am equally certain that many humans to NOT have this same prerequisite necessity of consciousness, & are by all observable measurements, non-sentient machines...
perhaps remotely controls by the gawds, angels or the unconscious expectations of 'real' people...???
How would your Continuum of Maturity Work?
One of things that most annoys me about our Judicial System, is that it gives allowances to youthful offenders, because they are considered 'less mature' than adults.
i really can't imagine too many things that are more contrary to the sum total of all my experiences with The Damp Masses! It seems to me, It has always seemed to me that people are endowed with a quantity of sophistication, self control, empathy &/or an holistic perception of their place in the universe-- at birth, and use these attributes with only the slightest variation throughout their lives.
If you're going to allocate a leniency towards the less mature, you should first determine who these less mature hamsters are first...! ( ? )
As far as i know, there is no test or measure for Maturity...!
i don't even think that your average Judge or Prosecutor could define exactly, or vaguely, what they mean by Maturity...Only that they could apply it --Willy Nilly-- to those that they either would like to prosecute as adults or not. As we've seen recently, this former idea of age related 'responsibility' has been discarded when it suits the populist view of deterministic vengeance, when it is over-due. ( ? )
i think it would be much more appropriate to real justice, if you first where to develop an uncheatable test of maturity, so that when it was required to determine culpability, that culpability would be applied where it was needed, even if it was shown to be applicable in a most counter-intuitive manner...!
Such as when a 40_year old, semi-retired rock musician was found having illicit, mutually consensual, highly deviant sexual acts with an unusually intelligent &/or unscrupulous 'minor'...
Using this Maturity Index, it may be determined that the maturity of the lesser aged youth, exceeded the considerably older 'adult' and thus, the youngster would be found to most culpable, and be sentenced to life in prison, and all our appropriate sympathy would be extended to the elder victim.
As it should be.
We all want to be 'Fair' don't we, and sometimes, fairness is most allusive...!

What are Angels?
Angels are Nondenominational Beings that are generally quite mischievous. They are often 'Adopted' or 'Acquired' by Religions throughout the world as Messengers of ( or for ) 'Their' Gawd. But Angels are, in fact, completely without any allegiances to any organized group, cult, sect or lose confederation of union jacks. They, in all probability, are like Leopards, and don't even associate with one another, most of the time. Whenever they are observed in the act of 'Helping' someone, it is undoubtedly the case that they are acting for their own self interest, and doing so to distract themselves from an otherwise tedious existence. Likewise; When they are seen to be tempting the innocent to do 'Evil' -- It is for their amusement, and not to propagate an agenda that is decidedly contrary to another Celestial Beings 'Agenda'. It may well be that Celestial Being have agendas, But they are most certainly so very different from what we consider 'Good' or 'Evil' to be laughable. Everything that we consider 'Important' is decidedly Unimportant to them. What is their Relationship to us...? We are like hamsters to them; Amusing at best, Discardable when it suits them, at worst.

i think it is probably mostly that you are trying to break down their most cherished axioms that they depend upon for a firm footing to believe in Reality... and at some, not so well hidden, subliminal level, they know that Reality is Bunk...! Where do turn, where can you find peace of mind when you're forced to realize that everything is Wrong, Absolutely Everything...!
If you can think of some more examples of Obvious Untruths... Be sure and send them to me...
They are very hard to spot, and i suspect that there are LOTS of them...!
Crazy People and Unruly children may be of great benefit in discovering more of them...!

What is A Suspicious Singularity?
Like an Obvious Untruth, Except that it's not quite so Obvious.
Examples:
Plagues & Forest Fires
Doesn't it seem 'Crazy' to you that a plague or a forest fire would ever 'Die down'...??? Once something like that Started, it may go into remission somewhere, but after it's spread itself out for a few hundred square miles, or so, it out just keep eating it's pry until there was none left...??? What suspicious Singularities teach us; is that there is some 'Missing' Component to these things that is not obvious, and that missing element may be inaccessible to us...! Such that it's not that we are too dumb to see it, but that it's unavailable to us, no matter how hard we look...! It may be that this missing element is The Will of Gawd, and this gawd has a agenda that may not be as benevolent as we might hope...?

What is An UnNecessary Cruelty?
( And- Why are They So Sweet...! )
People may claim to enjoy smoking cigarettes; but the enlightened amoung us, know that they are really being smoked by the sticky molecules within those cigarettes!
The Same with Sex; You may think that you enjoy sexual intercourse, The exchanging of saliva & the gentle touching of easily injured puffy regions ---
But you are really being driven by the biological, electrochemical urge to procreate, against your better, often maligned, judgement.
Some of things are, from time to time, explained in terms of their evolutionary advantage to the species.
Sometimes these explainations may be quite clever & amusing...
Humor, for example; is said, by some; to have evolved as a subliminal, or subconscious, ability to recognize dumbness...!
Early men & women that could see, in a moment, what was dumb without having to 'think' about it, where at a distinct advantage over those that had to learn what was a dumb, and often; fatal, mistake, by trail & error.
Cruelty evolved to help us survive in a social environment by implimenting this same approach as Humor; which acts as a tool of Intelligence by expressing 'AntiSmartness' --
...By giving us an intuitive tool which we act on without the pretense of thinking or considering; in those situations which necessitate 'Justice'.
Cruelty is AntiJustice;
But--! It acts as a important social tool to demonstrate what 'should be' Fair...
Just as Humor teaches us; What 'should be' Smart.
Because Cruelty is such a dull blade for cutting into a matter of Social Order, The lessons that it teaches us are slow & literally torturous...!
But without it--
Without the Enthusiasium that these molecularly driven emotions give us; we would no more be prone to have children by carefully considering their benefits, than we would ever 'decide' to be considerate to others within a social framework.
'Selfish Manipulation of contrived situations' may have been substituted for our natural prediliction towards petty & unnecessary Cruelties, But that longer road would have required us to become inventive; on top of the required observational behaviouralism, to see what the results of such intelligent exploitation may have yeilded.
The Passion of Cruelty is by far the simpliest & most effective method of achieving The Purity of Gawdliness.

How can i Truly Believe Something that I Know is Wrong.
Many Religions & Philosophies,
Such as Hinduism that teaches that the world is illusion ( Maya ),
and Christianity that claims you can move mountains,
if you only had sufficiant faith...
( And also implies that this world is illusion,
since presumably the true world is the Heavenly Realm of Gawd(s) & Angels...
Plus: This world was created by the merely Spoken Word of Gawd...
Which sounds very much like a Virtual Representation;
Using the Vinacular of Marginally Literate Goat Herders... )
The Matrix Trilogy also suggests this,
as well as The Translucent Amoebae's view that we are living in a Screen Saver Universe...
...In which; The Reality Generator that creates our World,
saves Memory & Computational Cycles by allowing us to define our own environment in such a way that it shapes what we experience,
By what we-- Expect Will Happen.
So-- Just Believing in something may ( ? ) substantially increase the probability of it becoming 'Real' ( within our fractionally translucent reality )...
How can you do this...?
How can you Genuinely Believe Something with Sufficient Confidence to Fool The Reality Generator-- That you know is Just Plain Wrong...?
Ordinarily; You believe things based on whether or not, or how well--
they fit within your heirarcial pyramid of experiences...!
But you NOW Know that all those Experiences were faked,
or implanted into your Mind,
which actually exists far from this physically unreal bulb of spurious lumps...!!!
Any thought you have--
Will be just as REAL as any other Thought, Recollection or Notion that you may have,
So that when The Reality Generator samples your Consciousness to determine how it will paint your customized reality for you individual eyeballs...
It will pick out those things that you've fabricated
from your unspoken shadowy dreams
& diabolically squalid chimera's of sexual gratifications... ( ! )
Will it work?
Try it and See for yourself...!!!

Is Brown a Colour?
We see so many Browns that it seems ridiculous that it is not a colour... But there is No Brown in the Rainbow, and Computers can not display brown on their monitors, nor print brown on a Ink-Jet Printer...! Considering Brown on a computer for a moment, The computer has an understanding of colour, by assigning each of it's pixels a value that is derived from the three phosphorous lights that combine to make all the colours of it's vast palette... But when searching for Brown, we discover that given each of these three pure hues; red, blue & green ( pigments use red, blue & yellow / and tempera paints ( ??? ) uses magenta, ultra marine, & yellow ) when you turn all of them off, you get black. Turn all of them on, and you get White, Set them all at half value, and you get grey. Set this grey with a little more Red, and you get Pink, a little less, & you get a dirty green, but not brown! No matter how you mix them, it will teasingly avoid coming around to brown...!!! If you've think you've seen brown on a computer monitor, what you've really been looking at is a dark red...! What does this mean for natural Browns on Trees or for the pungent tones of poop...!? These are a confused illusion of your eyeball to discern the wonderful ballet of pure-light colours jumping back & forth on these surfaces...!

What is a Difficult Puzzle?
An Ordinary Puzzle, As given as a Recreational Pastime; Is most easily identified by its having the answer to it carefully catalogued in the back of the book, usually before The Index. A Difficult Puzzle has no known solution! Its Solution, if it has one, will be found to be Definitive. That is; Any attentive 5th grader that is able to comprehend the desired objective of The Puzzle, Will, When The Puzzle has be Solved, Know that it has been Solved! Another attribute of The Difficult Puzzle, Is that it has no reasonable application or will contribute in any way to the greater good of society or Western Civilization.
Two Examples of A Difficult Puzzle
One
Numerical Alphabet
Given that some words are definitively associated with certain numbers,
Such as Alone with One, Bicycle with Two, CubeRoot with Three...
Find Words that are linked to their place in the Alphabet.
Allow for some Craziness when needed...
Argon with Eighteen ( R ) 18th Letter of the Alphabet!
Argon is the 18th Element on the Periodic Table of The Elements!

Thinking Outside the Box; That the box came in.
You have no doubt seen the puzzle which asks you to connect these nine dots with 4 lines.
. . .
. . .
. . .
It is easy enough to connect them with 5 lines, but to use 4 lines, you have extend them beyound the limit of the box that the outer dots define. That is the point of the Ordinary Puzzle.
To Think Outside The Box, That The Box Came In...
You are asked to solve this Puzzle with 3 Lines...
2 Lines & 1 Line...!!! ( ? )
This is an old Difficult Puzzle, and has been solved for 3, 2 , 1, 0 As well as 7 & 9 Lines!
The One Line Solution is particularly Elegant...!
The 2 Line Solution is still open, as it requires certain assumptions that i'm dissatisfied with...!!!
Each Solution should take a decidedly different approach, so that the 2 line solution is not simply a corrupted version of the One Line Solution...! As such; The 7 & 9 Line Solutions are unsatisfactory, as they use the same general approach.! The 6 & 8 Line Solutions are still Wide Open.

When a Fly Cries, Do The Angels Sing?
This is sometimes thought of as: The Problem of Caring
Just about every Religion that has ever attracted more than a basement full of adherents,
Has claimed that Angels are the messengers for Their Gawd.
i'm here to tell you that Angels are Real,
and that they are Strictly "NonDinominational".
That is; If they do have any 'Religious' beliefs, the religion that they attend to, is certainly not any of the ones that we ( The Damp Masses ) know about.
Out experiences with Angels are usually fairly mixed, but even so, when quixotic beings try to get us into mischief of one kind or another, or act more favorably towards our enemies than ourselves-- We ascribe that such beings are deamons, and not Angels!
But i suspect that they are all 'Bascially' one kind of being,
and 'Basically' adhere to one a)moral standard-- As that species...!!!
Each individual Angel may be relatively good or not particularly good,
But what i'm suggesting is-- That there are not two distinct kinds of quixotic beings, One good, and the other; Decidely evil.
i don't believe in 'evil' to begin with,
and to further antagonize you,
i don't believe in 'good' either...!
Whatever is favorable for YOU; that is good.
Whatever is Unfavorable for YOU; that is evil.
i've been trying now for sometime, to find a single example of something,
some attitute, some directive, some rule of thumb
that is consistently good for EVERYONE...!!!
( never mind cows, chickens & parameciums for the moment! )
And i can't seem to find one.
If The One True Gawd is genuinely 'Good'...
Then what is the nature of that goodness...???
So-- If Angels are Not motivated by a Universal Idealization of Goodness...
What does motivate them?
Self Interest.
Same as everybody else.
Ideally; When you act towards your own self-interest,
in a manner so that your self-interest is held to be benificial to you for 'the long haul'...!
...Then it is only inevitable that some of those actions that you take,
will benefit; indirectly, the interests of others.
When Angels act in a manner that benefits your self-interest,
rest assured that they are not acting primarily for your self-interest,
But for their own, foremostly!
and Secondarily; ( Perhaps ) for the Best Interests of The Universe.
[ In this sense,
The Universe includes the best interests of The One True Gawd,
as; from our perspective; The One True Gawd & her best interests;
qualitatively determine whether The Universe will continue to exist or not!
Such that; They are Equivalent ]
When a Fly cries; Do the Angels Sing?
As often as not.

How Can I Be Creative?
Somepeople are convinced that being creative consists of plugging into somekind of Muse Consortium, a wonderland like carnival atmosphere where the normal rules of cause and effect are temporarily suspended as the recepients brain is allowed to fill up with the dreams of gawds, deamons & faeries with stomaches full of LSD laced cookies.
Sadly-- And Fortunately! It's not like that!
In order to be Creative, all you have to do is pull a Creative Resultant Formula out from your loose-leaf notebook and fill in a few of the blanks,
Then with a tiny amount of Inductive Reasoning--
You'll have an entirely new idea!
In practice: It works something like this--
The number of Formulas are probably infinite,
but only a few dozen are easily available...
To find ( or steal ) one, examine a well known and 'clever' idea that you particularly like, and backwards engineer it to discover where it came from...
Rene Magritte's "Chateau des Pyrenees" for example...
This is a rather famous painting of a castle atop a large boulder,
that is floating over a seascape.
Where did the idea for this painting come from?
Well-- Obviously, without interviewing Rene, we have to make some guesses, but guesses in this case are actually more productive than asking the artist, because the artist; particularly in the case of surealists, will almost certainly try to mislead us into thinking all sorts of wrong-headed things...!!!
So-- Castles are quite common,
so he probably wanted to paint a castle,
and the first doodle may have easily been one on top of a mountain,
and below that, at the foot of the mountain,
a beach and beside that;
The sea.
Remove the beach
and there you have it!
That's being creative!
Simply start out with a well understood idea or concept,
which may include any number of objects & the things those objects do,
and then either:
1) find a new relationship between those elements
2) take away an elemental connecting concept
( such as a beach that connects a mountain to the sea )
How do you do this?
That's the most magical part...
being able to think a 'Strange' thought.
Allowing your brain to construct a sentence that contains ideas arranged in a novel way...
Seeing the functionality of a relationship between two, or more,
objects or concepts that no one has previously seen!
At this point;
Let us take a moment to examine another, creatively related concept...
and that is:
What makes an Idea 'Good'?
This is Easy! A Good Idea is One that has Application!
If an idea can be applied to other, well known, understood & accepted ideas, then it too; becomes a good idea.
A bad idea is one that lacks application...
Such as a Hexagonical Wheel.
As a painter; A Hexigonical Wheel may be painlessly inserted into an illustration and no harm will be done...!
But try to invent a Hexigonical Wheel and attach it to a Car or Bicycle,
and you'll find that it's not a good idea!
If you're trying to come up with a good idea,
simply pull 'things' out of a hat, perhaps a Literal Hat!
and then:
Apply Inductive Reasoning to them as a pair...
What is the relationship between these two items;
How can they be 'Attached' to one-another to become 'more' than either of them have to offer by themselves.
This takes a little practice;
but the important thing is-- It's not magical,
It's a skill that you can hone into with practice
and the studious exploitation of your underutilized brain...!

Will Aliens ( When We Meet Them ) Look Like Us?
Or Alternately; Are we living in a Star Trek Universe?
There are two schools of thought on this:
Yes
& No.
The No camp thinks that there are just so many different ways to make a animal, that the chances of an intelligent being, that is well versed in the skill of piloting a starship and even remotely resembling a human being, will be ludicrously improbable.
---
The Yes bevy is attached to the more axiomatic idea that
'Only Possible things are Possible'
which differs from the opinion that 'Anything is Possible'.
As such; If you look around you, at all the other animals in the world, particularly, for our current purposes, the kinds most unlike us...
Such as Insects, for example;
if we're only going to consider multicellular, fauna...! ( ? )
Then you'll notice that if you take a beetle and make it big enough to hold an intelligent brain, it will have a strong resemblance, without modification, to the humanoid form.
It will have too many legs, but i'm thinking that evolution will favor the least number of legs that an animal can get by on, especially if it's going to be a 'big' animal...??? That is; If a small animal, like a beetle...
--which; by the way, reproduce in the thousands--
...were to loose a leg by some misfortune, then it would, in all probability limp off and do reasonably well without it, or it's many brothers & sisters would pick up the slack.
A big animal, however; will most certainly die after loosing a leg,
and the more legs you have, that you have to invest resources in,
only provides your enemies with another leg to chew off.
Thus: The fewer legs you have, the better for your evolutionary chances of survivial.
Likewise; BiSymetry is strongly perfered,
A mouth and Anus located at opposite ends of the organism,
Multiple Sensory apperatus located all at one end,
to more easily examine things...
and so on.
We were not accidently taken to this form,
but trimmed carefully to this shape by the ever frugal nature of Darwins scissors.
Green hair,
17 fingers,
hooves for feet,
Knees that bend backwards...
may occur from time to time at these futuristic picnics,
but the group photos will invariably include alot of very funny looking people,
just as they always have.

No. How could it be? -- If there were some 'Meaning' that we could look forward to... A Goal, for example, or something marvelous to learn, or to merge with The Unity of The Universe... Eventually...

The trouble to trying to be Good is that no matter how you act-- That is; Whatever your course of action may be in any situation, you can never know, at that time, how your actions will 'Play out'. If you believe you are acting for the benefit of others or yourself-- It may well turn out that an hour later, your actions will result directly in circumstances turning around and killing you and everyone around you. Or vice-versa-- The most unrepentant scoundrel will act, by everyone's account, with the most egregious, egotistical & loathsome intentions, Yet, As it so often turns out, they are lifted up and given honors & financial rewards that ordinary & meek minded hamsters like you & me are rarely able to even dream of. -- How should you act, Pragmatically--?

What's the deal with The Cabbage Codes...?
The Cabbage Codes were developed by Tiny Wanda around 1990 or so... in response to a preexisting fascination with The Gematria & The Cabala in general, as well as Twelfth Century Alchemy & The Cthulhu Mythos-- And The Recently Published Book; The Bible Code. What is most interesting about the Gematria; Is that while it's obviously a lot of Hokum, It's so amazingly complex & able to generate such a rich tapestry of meaningful revelations, that; like The Flying Saucer Phenomena & The Problem of Autonomy-- It strongly suggests that there is 'something else' going on there, that is More True than the Original Topical Material...! For The Gematria, This may be something along the lines that irregardless of how pointless & void of reason a set of data may be-- That alleges to be Irrefutable Proof for some argument, The Damp Masses will eagerly sop it up... Because 'Believing Nonsense' --was for some inexplicable reason; Selected by Evolution or Gawd to be The Foundation for Our Thinking in a Manner which we laughingly call Sentient Cogitation.

FourBut-- Why a Cabbage...???
Why not a Cabbage...! Every Great Religion needs a Symbol that epitomizes all The Irrational & Beloved Dogma that most carefully defines & winnows it from all competing theories & schools of thought. The Cabbage is the most authoritative of all Nature's bounty. There is no living organism that shares the complexity of organic chemistry & geometrical roundness as The Cabbage.

I don't want to belabor this;
But What Exactly does This Cabbage Religion say about Our Existence... ( et. all. )
What many of The Damp Masses don't understand, is that while Science & Religion as they are commonly understood; Are the same thing. Just as Republicans & Democrat's in The United States share exactly the same political ideology, The objectives of Science & Religion are the same: To Construct a Viable Model of The Universe with which they may then make predictions of The Future. Where they both fail however-- Is that both have completely failed to appreciate the importance of their axioms! Our Worship of The Great Cabbage is our attempt to Ally ourselves to a Gawd that, While no more real than any of the other Gawds, Is of such a nature that The True Gawd will be Least Offended by it...! We Genuinely believe that both Science & Religion are not merely Wrong with most of their beliefs, But are Exactly Wrong more often than not. JudeoChristianity, for example, believe more strongly that Their 'Torah/Bible' is Correct; While The Universe is Wrong! It is far more likely; We believe-- That it was the Devil that Wrote The Bible, and it is The True Gawd that remains silent while letting The Universe reveal what it will to us. As Lao Tzu suggested; 'The Spoken Dao is Not The Eternal Dao.' & 'He who speaks does not know, And he who knows, does not speak.' The Cabbage does not speak, and that is reason enough for us to listen to it. ( ! )

Do we have Freewill?
There's just No Way that we can! Every Event in this Reality occurs as the result of some precedent event -- This would apply just as necessarily within the Brain as anywhere else, and as such, make every thought that one may experience, the result of all previous events, not only in the Brain itself, but traceable to the first event, long before our local Big Bang...! If one were to imagine that by adding some 'Quantum' layer or Randomality to this formula, you would find that Freewill results, but that you're actions are then determined by meaningless & haphazard incidents. There are No other possibilities. -- It may be pointed out here though; That If -- Given that all our thoughts are generated by the brain, then there is no practical reason to assume that the causality of the ElectroChemical Effects that generate our meditations are created solely within that hard crust. All your Sensory Perceptions are Just As Responsible for any changes in your Brain to create those ruminations! Likewise, Cosmic Rays that penetrate your skull and knock electrons out of their nuclear orbits, changing your electrolytic balances, Are causing you to think your particular cogitations too! Gravity waves from distant Quasars... AntiProtons from the rims of BlackHoles, spiraling backwards through time... In fact, If such things can happen, That would mean that all events in this Universe, and those events in the future & past -- Are all contributing to The State of Your Mind at any given Instant...! The Entire Universe, This local universe, and all others, Are your Consciousness. So although you don't, You Can't, have Freewill, You at least have Autonomy in that there is Nothing 'OutSide' the Continuum of Realities to Influence you.

What is The Crisis of Contraryism?
Contraryism is the Idea that The Most Reasonable Method of Determining Social Truths, Is to Invert the Proposals of whatever our Politicians &/or Corporate Leaders say. So that anything The President says; A Contraryist would simply arrange into their mind -- The exact Opposite of whatever the meaning of that submission was... Then; You Compare ( in all fairness ) The presumed Truth Value of each Version... Based on what you already know about The World, and such... Which ever is most True, According to this process, is retained for Future Reference. -- The Crisis Occurs when, Within a Popular Sphere of 'News' Both Polar Views Share an Equal Burden of Credibility...! That is -- The Contrarian doesn't ( initially ) know what to NOT believe...!!! The Solution is to Break Free from The Constraints of Thesis & AntiThesis -- To Think Outside of The Box; That the Box Came In...!!! This may require a Considerable Budget of Creative Deliberation...! When asked, for example if OJ Simpson Killed or Did Not Kill Nicole Brown Simpson... It may be that what you should really be wondering about is; Why was Ron Goldman Killed...? Was he the Primary Target? Did Nicole get in the way, not the other way around...??? Did a Flying Saucer Crash in Roswell, or was it a Weather Balloon...? Maybe what you should be wondering is; Why does the Air Force so very desperately want me to NOT believe that it was a flying saucer...??? Maybe because they DO want me to believe that it Might Have Been a Flying Saucer...! Does that sound Crazy...? That's what Contraryism is all about...! Is what 'They're' telling me Too Crazy to Believe, or Not Crazy Enough...!

Was there a Crash of a Flying Saucer at Roswell, New Mexico?
As it was suggested in Seven; The question of whether a Flying Saucer Crashed in Roswell, may not be the 'True' Question...! While some wags will tell you that Aliens aren't visiting us because their worlds are too far from us... It is true that Stars are VERY far from one another, But not impossibly far from one another. It is entirely reasonable that if there was only one other planet in The MilkyWay Galaxy, and it was at the far end from where we are... And the only difference between them & us, is that on their planet, they never had an Age of The Dinosaurs... So that they have a 300 million year jump on us... And further, their Starships are Never able to exceed the Speed of Light -- They would still have colonized the Entire MilkyWay Galaxy by now, and taken over our metropolitan centers many years ago. So Given that No Alien Species has Openly contacted us yet, And allowing that there is most probably many, many civilizations in The MilkyWay Galaxy, and elsewhere, and that The Speed of Light will most certainly be broken, Then there is a BIG PROBLEM...! Some people think that a flying saucer couldn't have crashed in Roswell for the simple reason that flying saucers, being of such an advanced technology, just don't crash...! But this may be an unwarranted assumption. They may be operating at the edge of their technology, just as we are. Another complaint is that if they did crash, why were we allowed to keep it...? That is a good question... Unless-- It's a fake flying saucer, or an obsolete model that they wanted to tease us with...!!! Or is may be that There was No Flying Saucer that Did or Did Not Crash; or Was or Was Not a Weather Balloon...! It may be that the reason we are being made to think that it was or wasn't a flying saucer -- Is to just get us thinking about Flying Saucers...!!! It may be that the reason we haven't seen any Aliens landing on our football fields is that there's a fence around our planet, Telling all 'The Other' Aliens to Keep Away...! It may be that all our Evolutionary Mysteries are made understandable when you come to accept that they ( The Aliens / The Walking Fish People ) MADE US...! That we are their PROPERTY...!!! And that the Alleged Crash of a Flying Saucer at Roswell is just Warming us Up for the Revelation that Harvesting Time is Coming up... Around December in 2012.

Is there Such a Thing as Enlightenment?
( Satori )
All the Worldly Religions that i've encountered so far have the naive impression that this world is the unique creation of some kind of gawd that lives in somekind of heaven, which resides in the true reality.
The Transparent Amoebae Consortium believes that our world ( this visible universe ) is a fractional layer that is sandwiched between an infinite number of parent realities, and a potentiality of realities that we will someday create, or that aliens on other planets have been creating for some time.
One interesting facet of this position is that it presupposes that it is possible to create any number of realities within a nested set of realities, which all have the same 'resolution' of detail...!
That is: It will be possible in a few short years to create fractional realities that set on your desk top,
populated by billions of unique entities, that live in a universe just as big & detailed as the one we live in.
This sounds ridiculously paradoxical, But it is never-the-less true.
The Elemental Key to filling out this claim, is to consider that each individual within that universe, lives only in a small region of their universe, and is aware of only a tiny, tiny fraction of that, at any given moment--
And there may be many 'tricks' to making each individual think that they are experiencing a great deal more 'solid' or 'eternal' reality than they really are.
But i digress.
Concerning Enlightenment; Many of the Religions and Philosophies that promote the idea of a Great Spiritual Awakening-- Depend upon this 'One step up to The True Reality' to allow their adherents to access this realm of Perfect Knowledge & Holistic Wisdom.
But this 'True Reality' that they seek, doesn't exist.
Only layers & layers of variations that are the products of Pure Imagination..!!!.
...Since each of these realities is being generated by a 'machine' of somekind, the properties of each reality are governed by rules that are completely independent of cause & effect.
Gravity; for example, need have nothing to do with Mass or The Curvature of Space--
Things appear to stick to planets, and planets appear to circle suns because there is a simple rule somewhere in each of the realities generators that define the perceptions of it's residents in that way...!!!

Having then dispelled the idea that this Enlightenment...
There is another state of mind that is curiously desirable...
It is The Swirliness of Being.
People throughout he ages have spontaneously experienced this state,
for either no apparent reason,
or as the result of rigorous introspection,
or by 'Letting go' of everything that you assume to be true...
( sometimes this act of 'letting go' is obtained accidentally by so thoroughly engaging in some activity that your consciousness to allowed to step aside of what you are doing... and during this period, experience a greater sense of being... such activities are often benign in nature, such as; running, typing, drawing or staring off into space...! Any Religion that claims to have 'secret knowledge' or 'the only path' towards enlightenment or salvation is most certainly -- NOT the true path to enlightenment or salvation. It may be possible to find these superfluous states within these philosophies, but you are just a likely to find what you're seeking taking many other paths as well. )
Films have occasionally tried to capture this illusive quality & called it many different things, if they were intent upon calling it anything at all...
Peter Parker experiences his Spider-Sense in Spiderman; which allows him to become aware of every little thing happening around him...
Philip Fry in Futurama; After drinking 100 cups of coffee, experiences the world 'slowed down' to a pace that allows him to study every detail at his leisure, and save his friends from a rapidly expanding fire.
John Preston as a Warrior Priest in Equilibrium discovers that art & beauty are treasures that shouldn't be surrendered for the sake of peace & security, but finds that his soul can escape the limitations of this reality by 'giving up' everything that he cared about, a state that may be some form of Equilibrium of perceptions & formless awareness... ( ? )
Dory; in Finding Nemo, escapes her ordinary state of 'now' by flashing for a few critical moments on all that ever happened to her ( recently )...
Larry Darrell in The Razors Edge; ( Bill Murray / Tyrone Power ) finds over the course of a wanderous life that life & the world are just to quirky to worry about...
Dr. Alex Lauder in Daughter of The Mind; experiences a simple moment of understanding, by seeing the world through his own imagination, rather than trying to understand how it was created by others...
---
Are any of these mental states examples of 'Enlightenment'...???
Not in the great Zen, Buddhist or Hindu sense... But i doubt that there is some absolute sense of that sort...
If there were, then what is the net effect of it... ( ? )
The Criticism is most often suggested when trying to discourage youngsters from trying mind altering drugs;
To find themselves, or experience the oneness of the universe, is the question:
'What have those that have used these drugs, ever brought back to us, from these trips?'
It is fine to say that you've seen the face of gawd, but what is the tangible effect of that knowledge, on this life? The people that take these trips may insist that they are gaining from these experiences,
but if they are, the results are at best highly ambiguous, and far from compelling.

As a side point:
There is something akin to Enlightenment,
Which i would like to call: Awakenings
These are Events, Cultural Niches, Artifacts or Fragment of Knowledge
that Awakens One to The Greater Reality...
Examples::
Learning & Understanding The Proof for An Irrational Number.

Discovering that a Common Five Pointed Star has Embedded within it,
Several Golden Ratios.
Learning how a CPU in a Computer Works.

What is a Fractional Reality?
The idea that reality is 'real' derives from our apparent perception of it as having qualities that we consider 'solid' as measured by our senses... It may well be that these perceptions are strongly weighted by those senses that are attached to our inherent solidity, and the solidity of those senses...
i.e.; Whatever your senses tell you is real, is determined by the 'reality index' of your senses...
Such that; If your reality was severely compromised by a sharp reduction in resolution, then this would be consistent with the physical (?) construction of your sensory network...
e.g.; ( As an Example ) If you were a Lego-Person, living in Legoland, you would most certainly feel that everything around you, and you, were 'real'... But that in a grander scheme of things, your reality would be 'less' than the reality of Organic People with a more highly developed biological framework... or at least, the biological organisms would think so...!!!
Using the Fractional Reality Index, We can then assign a decimal value to any reality that we may perceive, imagine or define in a certain manner...
Zero ( 0 ) would mean that The Reality is NonExistent
One ( 1 ) is the Ultimate Reality
Point Five ( .5 ) Is were You are.
For convenience, and in the absence of knowing were we really are, along the continuum of realities, point five is used as a temporary marker...
At some future time, when we get a better idea of where we really are, then we'll have to change all our other references as well.
What is the functionality of this Index...?
How might it be important to give The Simpson's an index of point three,
and Itchy & Scratchy an index of point two...???
The real usefulness of this is going to become more relevant when we begin to create more viable fractional realities within cogitator environments... and lawyers begin to wonder 'How 'Real' The People are within these Realities...?'
Will it be a crime to torment the beings within a computer/cogitator game environment?
Will be possible to design realities that emulate potential sensory realms of Point Six...
Or TransOne Realities...Realities that are more real than what the greatest gawds may dream of...???
---
i often wonder what it is about the brain, assuming--( perhaps falsely )--that the brain generates our minds, that turns the electrochemical patterns into conscious thoughts... maybe it's the patterns themselves...???
Maybe if you were to create a suitably complex & correctly designed pattern on a sheet of paper, then it would represent a genuine 'instantaneous' thought...! And if you created a series of these designs, they would correspond to a thought of a prescribed measure of time...
But how would the sheets of paper be connected to form this continuance of thought...???
Might it be possible to draw an animated cartoon on celluloid, that along with a sound track, it might also have a consciousness track, and while the cartoon is being shown, there would be, accompaning it, a stream of genuine consciousness associated with the characters as you viewed them...!!!
That sounds crazy... But is the way real consciousness works...So very much different...?
If we're going to persist in believing that We are Conscious,
Then maybe we should consider carefully that we should have available an Fractional Reality Index to give our creations the rights that we think are so important, if they should warrant them...
---
Then: After we've given our animated creations access to our Constitutional Bill of Rights,
We could extent these same rights to People from Other Countries.

Eleven
What is The EightFold Path
of The Translucent Amoebae?
- Perfect Egotism
- This is different from normal egotism, in that normal egotists are concerned with their own well-being, to the exclusion of the well-bing of others. The Perfect Egotist is concerned with their own well-being, to the exclusion of absolutely everything else. The PE should never consider, even for a moment, the consequences of others, or how their actions will effect the universe in the future. The PE is also concerned with, no only their well-being for the next 5 minutes, 5 months or 5 Zillion years-- But for all eternity...! So that they must be concerned with how their selfishness in perpetuity plays out... This may sound confusing, since it now appears that The PE is concerned with their effect on others... in so much as they would be harming themselves by taking actions to produce enemies or pollute the air that they may breath in the future...! To the untrained eye, it may indeed appear that The PE is not acting like an egotist at all, But rather; A Perfect Altruist! It would be a very foolish thing to imagine this though, since the PE doesn't care one wit for the welfare of others...Despite all their actions & deeds.
- Infinite Greed
- It has been suggested that the trouble with the world is that there is too much greed...But the fact is; There is not enough Greed! If only men were More Greedy, indeed-- Embraced an ideology of Infinite Greed; The world would be much better place for it... Nothing would ever be carelessly wasted again, No homeless person would have their talents & labor squandered, The limited resources of the lands & oceans would be used with caution, so as to preserve their interest for future generations... It is only the foolishness of petty greed that makes so many of the damp masses believe that greed is a sin...! Nothing could be farther from the truth... Greed is a Great Virtue... As Great as Heedless Lust & Inconsiderate Cruelty.
- Harmonic Violence
- Vehement Destruction is an Tautological Axiom of Being. Without the continuance of havoc upon The World, New & Better things would not have the raw materials with which to make themselves! It has been offered however: That one shroud never break anything that you can't fix, unless you're going to eat it. -- The desired net effect is that; You should try to make the world a more complex & chaotic ( complexity approaching randomality ) place, and by destroying the old to make better the new, then Natural Harmonic Violence is served. In 'Nature' of course, this is not followed by any well considered cogitative process, but by the actions that fall in to place by the construction of a world which tends towards this end without reflection...! It then becomes a point of wonderment, Is it even possible to deviate from this path of Breaking the Old to Build the New, For this Irrefutable End Purpose-- put into play by the Universe itself...??? Is every act of 'seemingly' senseless violence, a necessary step towards this inevitable ambition...?
- Translucent Appreciation
- If Freewill & Harmonic Violence are intransigent elements of this reality, Then any consideration of work 'Well Done' is a false & futile perspective... --But then; That too is unavoidable.
- ChronoIndependence
- Time is an Illusion, brought about by a simple confusion over the idea of responsibility.
- Unconditional Swirliness
- You are merely an Observer.
- Acquiescent Ingenuity
- The Universe is your mind, Every action you take is what you are given to do.
- An Unhesitating Yearning for Chaos
- Chaos is what The Universe Seeks most of all.

Thirteen
Are Flies Conscious?
Flies as a general rule, lead such simple lives that it's hard to tell, from their behaviour, what it may be that they're thinking at any given moment...
( i have chosen flies as the principle example because they're just so adorable...!!! )
But there are other bugs that are about the same size, so we might reasonably expect that their brains are about the same size, and have the same general complexity, and are capable of the same spiritual achievements...( ? )
Such as Ants & Bees, or Dung Beetles-- that might be pushing a ball of dung along a forest floor, when unexpectedly, the ball hits an unseen obstacle...! The Dung Beetle will invariably struggle with the ball for a few moments, then finally leave her position and examine the front of the ball, locating the obstruction, and making all the calculations necessary to free the necessary path for the ball to proceed.
Such behaviour might be achieved with a computer controlled robot, but along with all the other indispensable natural performances, all that software becomes unwieldy at best...
The simplest bugs are capable of the most complex actions, that by any independent summation, will be in the zillions. Using the approach of prewired firmware to handle all these potentialities is clearly untenable.
The elegant solution is simply allow them to have some minimal sense of consciousness.
Curiously; i am equally certain that many humans to NOT have this same prerequisite necessity of consciousness, & are by all observable measurements, non-sentient machines...
perhaps remotely controls by the gawds, angels or the unconscious expectations of 'real' people...???

FourteenHow would your Continuum of Maturity Work?
One of things that most annoys me about our Judicial System, is that it gives allowances to youthful offenders, because they are considered 'less mature' than adults.
i really can't imagine too many things that are more contrary to the sum total of all my experiences with The Damp Masses! It seems to me, It has always seemed to me that people are endowed with a quantity of sophistication, self control, empathy &/or an holistic perception of their place in the universe-- at birth, and use these attributes with only the slightest variation throughout their lives.
If you're going to allocate a leniency towards the less mature, you should first determine who these less mature hamsters are first...! ( ? )
As far as i know, there is no test or measure for Maturity...!
i don't even think that your average Judge or Prosecutor could define exactly, or vaguely, what they mean by Maturity...Only that they could apply it --Willy Nilly-- to those that they either would like to prosecute as adults or not. As we've seen recently, this former idea of age related 'responsibility' has been discarded when it suits the populist view of deterministic vengeance, when it is over-due. ( ? )
i think it would be much more appropriate to real justice, if you first where to develop an uncheatable test of maturity, so that when it was required to determine culpability, that culpability would be applied where it was needed, even if it was shown to be applicable in a most counter-intuitive manner...!
Such as when a 40_year old, semi-retired rock musician was found having illicit, mutually consensual, highly deviant sexual acts with an unusually intelligent &/or unscrupulous 'minor'...
Using this Maturity Index, it may be determined that the maturity of the lesser aged youth, exceeded the considerably older 'adult' and thus, the youngster would be found to most culpable, and be sentenced to life in prison, and all our appropriate sympathy would be extended to the elder victim.
As it should be.
We all want to be 'Fair' don't we, and sometimes, fairness is most allusive...!

What are Angels?
Angels are Nondenominational Beings that are generally quite mischievous. They are often 'Adopted' or 'Acquired' by Religions throughout the world as Messengers of ( or for ) 'Their' Gawd. But Angels are, in fact, completely without any allegiances to any organized group, cult, sect or lose confederation of union jacks. They, in all probability, are like Leopards, and don't even associate with one another, most of the time. Whenever they are observed in the act of 'Helping' someone, it is undoubtedly the case that they are acting for their own self interest, and doing so to distract themselves from an otherwise tedious existence. Likewise; When they are seen to be tempting the innocent to do 'Evil' -- It is for their amusement, and not to propagate an agenda that is decidedly contrary to another Celestial Beings 'Agenda'. It may well be that Celestial Being have agendas, But they are most certainly so very different from what we consider 'Good' or 'Evil' to be laughable. Everything that we consider 'Important' is decidedly Unimportant to them. What is their Relationship to us...? We are like hamsters to them; Amusing at best, Discardable when it suits them, at worst.

What is the Best Evidence for...
- Evolution
- The Overall, Pulled Back, Seen from Afar; Big Picture. The Fossil Evidence seems to show a wide variety of Animals, that occupy a particular niche in time, and seldom stray from their own geological stratas. While the animals at any given layer seem to be just as sophisticated as the animals at any other layer, there is a hint of progressional change that suggests with a certain reasonable force, that each proceeding layer of fauna, were the mutating parents of layer above them.
- Creationism / Intelligent Design
- Life itself. The Sudden Appearance of Fully Formed, Organ loaded Fishes ( & such ) at the time of the PreCambrian Era. Various Animals since then, such as Bats, Butterflies, Social Insects, People & Penguins that defy any reasonable attempt to grow them out of something else that would have been sufficiently 'viable' to survive without being fully formed as we now experience them.
- Time Travel
- There are; Upon Reflection -- i'm sure ) Various 'Events' and other Situations that any thinking being would expect to happen on a routine basis -- But do not. Such as; principally so: Political Assassinations... It is Unimaginably Unrealistic to expect there to be the absence of Political Assassinations in this Nation, Given the Number of Guns widely available, and the routine nature of casual murders. Add to this the Corruption & Social Injustice that our Politicians habitually inflict on The Damp Masses, And it becomes all the More Untenable that at least some of these scoundrels aren't periodically knocked off...! You may be thinking -- But we DO have Political Assassinations from time to time, and to this -- i would offer that these apparent 'Exceptions' actually bolster my original thesis, Since in each of these 'Allowed' homicides, It has been Historically Determines that their liquidation has served The Greater Good...! There are so very many senseless Murders in this Country -- Where are the Occasional Sensible Murders! It is not simply that The Necessity of Time Travel to Control this Missing Epidemic disallows the 'Big' or 'Important' Assassinations, But they must squelch all of them, or people would get the idea that 'It's Alright' to go around Assassination our Politicians! This has happened to some degree with School yard Shootings... Once the first Original Thinker came forward to murder a few classmates &/or teachers -- It became 'Normal' to do this...! Why would These Alleged Time Travelers allow for these kinds of events to happen... Why allow 911 or The Bombing of The Murrah Building... In both of these cases, A considerable number of Peripheral Social Consequences resulted directly from them... Things that The Time Travelers felt could not be achieved in a less dramatic manner... You will note -- When considering these sorts of Events -- There is ( again ) a decided shortage of 'Pointless' Examples... ( ! ) How often does a disgruntled social outcast blow up a Federal Building, Without Generating a Wave of Social Reformation...? Those examples are Edited out of our time-line by The Time Travelers. What is the Effect of this on >Their<>
- Gawd / Xi PointSix Controllers
- You must certainly know some individuals that, despite the fact that they are living within the confines of Western Civilization, and Acting as Productive Members of Our Capitalist Experiment in Social Organization -- Are Imbeciles. ( that is; ) They defy any reasonable explanation as to how they can survive from day to day, since on any given occasion, when you are available to witness their behaviour & experiences as applied to Everyday Living -- Appear to Inflict upon themselves, At a Constant Rate; Innumerable Actions which should, without question, result in severe Injury or Death -- But do Not...! The Only reasonable explanation for this is that there is some 'Supernatural' Agency that is Changing The Rules of Ordinary Reality -- for Their Benefit. While the Exact Identification of this Agent is Unknown, ( Although widely assumed to be 'x' ) -- It must have those attributes generally earmarked for some given entity, variously ascribed to be 'Gawd'.
- The World is Beautiful
- It is Obviously Tautological & Fundamentally Axiomatic -- That Everything is Exactly what it Is. (-Even things that seem to things that they are not, are what they are, without an independent mind mistaking them for something else...! -) Then:: Everything that is Exactly What it Is; Is True. Everything that is True is Beautiful -- Thus: Everything in The World is Beautiful.
- The World is Foul & Iniquitous
- Given that Freewill is Logically Impossible, And that we are Irrevocably Attached to the Belief that each individual has this Quality, If this Assumption is True, As it must be -- Because An Entity without Freewill could Not hold onto any 'Belief' at all ( !!! ) -- Then it must to also be True that everything we Perceive as True; ( that is: ) All Sensory Perception of Reality, And the Structural Knowledge that we've constructed to 'Navigate' through this Reality -- Is in Fact:: False. Everything that we could possibly be 'Aware of' is Wrong. Everything that is Wrong / False is Ugly... Therefore: The World is Foul & Iniquitous.
- We are living in a Fractional Reality
- Physicists are now searching for GUTS; or Grand Unification Theory... This theory, as it currently being discussed, involves all sorts of wild & crazy ideas, many of which have no empirical evidence to support them yet, and conceptual notions that look fine on a mathematicians blackboard, but are not so easily transferred to our familiar 3 Dimensional Reality... Even if we allow that all the extra 'Dimensions' that are required to make sense of these new fangled ideas are merely attributes that everything in the universe shares, in disproportionate quantities... Such as some people being taller than others, and some particles having a faster 'qi-chacha' spin that others... There is still alot of discontinuity with how it might all fit together... For example: It has always seemed to me that if you have something like a Graviton and it somehow interacts with Protons, then there would have to be some new rule or particle interaction that governs how these two particles respond to each other when they meet...? i mean; you're trying to explain gravity by introducing a Graviton, and now that you've got one, you need another carrier particle for it actually do something when it comes in contact with other particles...??? ( ad infinium... ) i think that it may actually make much more sense to simply throw up our hands and concede that everything is Maya, just as the ancient Hindus have been saying for Centuries...! We are living in a 'faux' world, which curiously, makes everything that is so difficult to explain, so very easy to explain. There is plenty of room in the nonsensical rules of a computer screen saver to allow for something like gravity, ESP, impossibly manuverable flying saucers, leprechauns & Bible belt Republicanism.
All you have to do first, is concede that there are many things about our universe that simply 'Can Not Be' and then from there, look for a new model that allows you to explain everything using Occum's Razor.
It may be that Occum would twist helplessly in his grave if he were to learn of how we're applying his famous 'Rule of Thumb' these days, but when it helps us to 'Explain' difficult things, in a world where we're running out of patience for unexplainable things, then all the better-- For dunderheads like us. - Impossible Things that make a Screen Saver Universe more Palatable
- Freewill, Consciousness, Gravity, Magnetism-- These 'Forces' by the way, are routinely 'applied' to the greater study of physics whenever someone asks about 'How does it work?'. The answer is invariably; 'It's a force!' -- 'eh?' Like Magnets for example... The carrier 'force' for electromagnetism is the photon... the same particle that squirts out of lightbulbs & television sets... Is this the same photon that makes magnets stick together...??? No-- Instead, Magnets and Gravity work with 'Forces' -- But -- While physicists insist that they have everything fully explained, turn away abruptly when you ask them to explain these forces...! When they begin to 'Describe how they behave' be sure to steer them back to the original question, which was 'What are they?' NOT -- How do they behave..
- Don't even get me started on how everything is supposed to fall at the same speed under the force of Gravity... We've all seen this experiment, first performed ( ? ) by Galileo, where a hammer & a feather are dropped, and fall at the same speed, in a vacuum, ( when available ). The truth is ( of course! ) that the hammer falls faster, but only very, very slightly faster, because when you compare the size difference between the earth & the hammer to the earth & the feather, they're practically the same... Try dropping the moon and a feather...! When you do, does someone standing on the moon see the earth falling towards 'it' -- falling at the earth speed for gravity, or the moon speed for gravity... which is 1/6th's of earths...!
- Of course, there are lots of 'little' things that don't make sense as well, like blind newts in caves, tidal forces, the size of the moon & female psychology...!!!
- This world is just impossible. The only way that it could exist, is if it existed only on paper...
- Or inside a poorly written computer program.
- A Zeroless Number System
- You will no doubt recall that when you were a child, in the 5th grade say, you were told that the modern number system is entirely dependent on the invention of the zero...
- Why they would tell us this, is part of a greater mystery... since, it is quite possible to create a system number system that is just as effective as the decimal system that we have, without a zero... It's been pointed out to me that this system does require a zero, and an an indicator of the quantity of nothing... But of course when i say that this system is zeroless, i mean to say that it does not use the zero as a placeholder...of or grater numbers...
- There easiest way to think of these system is imagine that instead of using common numbers, we use the alphabet instead, since by using letters, we will avoid the confusion of thinking in numbers and non numbers simultaneously...
- This new numbers system, starts off easily enough with the letter A representing a quantity of One, B is used to represent Two and so on, until we reach Z which is TwentySix... Then something quite EXPECTED happens, the next 'number' is A which like the decimal system may be broken down with columns, so that the left had column is sets of TwentySix's, and The right had column is Sets of Ones... So that the First A is One Set of TwentySix, and the other A is One Set of One... which equal TwentySeven, One more than Twenty Six which was Z...! When you get to Z's, the next number is AAA, which is One set of TwentySix Times TwentySix, Plus One set of TwentySix, Plus One.
- Further, you can create Multiplications and Addition Tables with this Numbers System, and you'll Soon be on your way to filling out this Base 26 Mathematical Method...
- The curious part of course is why would our teachers and such go to such great lengths to teach us that this system is impossible...???
- i very much suspect that the real reason is, like so many other 'untruths' they all fit together to make us think in a certain kind of way, hand this way' has been dictated by the time travelers from the future that don't want us to -advance- to quickly... So they set us road blocks for us intellectually... an it takes us years, sometimes hundreds or thousands of years to 'get over' these 'misconceptions...!!! It really doesn't make any sense that 6000 years ago, humans began living in organized cities, and developed all the 'bread & butter' technologies that allow for the basic tools of industry to develop, and then they all sat on their hands for 6000 ( or more ) years.... Really now, a mere 100 years ago, people were living with the same basic tools of industry & technology that they had 400 years previously... But for some reason... The Damp Masses were -allowed- to begin developing again. and our level of technology exploded in literally the last 50 years to accumulate 98% of all the innovation since we began putting on pants...??? Was it the we achieved some milestone in social development, so that the time travelers front he future would allow us to jump forward, or was it some 'external necessity' such as the infusion of bulbous grey faced aliens, that was the missing element to this sudden advancement...???Until someone else sees that there's a mystery here, no one is even asking these questions...!!!

What is An Obvious UnTruth?
Have you even met anyone with 'Red' Hair...?
i bet it was closer to 'Orange'...!
Now the curious thing about this is; When every you try to correct someone for believing an Obvious UnTruth, they will become Violently Opposed to seeing it 'Your way'.
Why is this?
i think it is probably mostly that you are trying to break down their most cherished axioms that they depend upon for a firm footing to believe in Reality... and at some, not so well hidden, subliminal level, they know that Reality is Bunk...! Where do turn, where can you find peace of mind when you're forced to realize that everything is Wrong, Absolutely Everything...!
If you can think of some more examples of Obvious Untruths... Be sure and send them to me...
They are very hard to spot, and i suspect that there are LOTS of them...!
Crazy People and Unruly children may be of great benefit in discovering more of them...!

What is A Suspicious Singularity?
Like an Obvious Untruth, Except that it's not quite so Obvious.
Examples:
Plagues & Forest Fires
Doesn't it seem 'Crazy' to you that a plague or a forest fire would ever 'Die down'...??? Once something like that Started, it may go into remission somewhere, but after it's spread itself out for a few hundred square miles, or so, it out just keep eating it's pry until there was none left...??? What suspicious Singularities teach us; is that there is some 'Missing' Component to these things that is not obvious, and that missing element may be inaccessible to us...! Such that it's not that we are too dumb to see it, but that it's unavailable to us, no matter how hard we look...! It may be that this missing element is The Will of Gawd, and this gawd has a agenda that may not be as benevolent as we might hope...?

What is An UnNecessary Cruelty?
( And- Why are They So Sweet...! )
People may claim to enjoy smoking cigarettes; but the enlightened amoung us, know that they are really being smoked by the sticky molecules within those cigarettes!
The Same with Sex; You may think that you enjoy sexual intercourse, The exchanging of saliva & the gentle touching of easily injured puffy regions ---
But you are really being driven by the biological, electrochemical urge to procreate, against your better, often maligned, judgement.
Some of things are, from time to time, explained in terms of their evolutionary advantage to the species.
Sometimes these explainations may be quite clever & amusing...
Humor, for example; is said, by some; to have evolved as a subliminal, or subconscious, ability to recognize dumbness...!
Early men & women that could see, in a moment, what was dumb without having to 'think' about it, where at a distinct advantage over those that had to learn what was a dumb, and often; fatal, mistake, by trail & error.
Cruelty evolved to help us survive in a social environment by implimenting this same approach as Humor; which acts as a tool of Intelligence by expressing 'AntiSmartness' --
...By giving us an intuitive tool which we act on without the pretense of thinking or considering; in those situations which necessitate 'Justice'.
Cruelty is AntiJustice;
But--! It acts as a important social tool to demonstrate what 'should be' Fair...
Just as Humor teaches us; What 'should be' Smart.
Because Cruelty is such a dull blade for cutting into a matter of Social Order, The lessons that it teaches us are slow & literally torturous...!
But without it--
Without the Enthusiasium that these molecularly driven emotions give us; we would no more be prone to have children by carefully considering their benefits, than we would ever 'decide' to be considerate to others within a social framework.
'Selfish Manipulation of contrived situations' may have been substituted for our natural prediliction towards petty & unnecessary Cruelties, But that longer road would have required us to become inventive; on top of the required observational behaviouralism, to see what the results of such intelligent exploitation may have yeilded.
The Passion of Cruelty is by far the simpliest & most effective method of achieving The Purity of Gawdliness.

How can i Truly Believe Something that I Know is Wrong.
Many Religions & Philosophies,
Such as Hinduism that teaches that the world is illusion ( Maya ),
and Christianity that claims you can move mountains,
if you only had sufficiant faith...
( And also implies that this world is illusion,
since presumably the true world is the Heavenly Realm of Gawd(s) & Angels...
Plus: This world was created by the merely Spoken Word of Gawd...
Which sounds very much like a Virtual Representation;
Using the Vinacular of Marginally Literate Goat Herders... )
The Matrix Trilogy also suggests this,
as well as The Translucent Amoebae's view that we are living in a Screen Saver Universe...
...In which; The Reality Generator that creates our World,
saves Memory & Computational Cycles by allowing us to define our own environment in such a way that it shapes what we experience,
By what we-- Expect Will Happen.
So-- Just Believing in something may ( ? ) substantially increase the probability of it becoming 'Real' ( within our fractionally translucent reality )...
How can you do this...?
How can you Genuinely Believe Something with Sufficient Confidence to Fool The Reality Generator-- That you know is Just Plain Wrong...?
Ordinarily; You believe things based on whether or not, or how well--
they fit within your heirarcial pyramid of experiences...!
But you NOW Know that all those Experiences were faked,
or implanted into your Mind,
which actually exists far from this physically unreal bulb of spurious lumps...!!!
Any thought you have--
Will be just as REAL as any other Thought, Recollection or Notion that you may have,
So that when The Reality Generator samples your Consciousness to determine how it will paint your customized reality for you individual eyeballs...
It will pick out those things that you've fabricated
from your unspoken shadowy dreams
& diabolically squalid chimera's of sexual gratifications... ( ! )
Will it work?
Try it and See for yourself...!!!

Is Brown a Colour?
We see so many Browns that it seems ridiculous that it is not a colour... But there is No Brown in the Rainbow, and Computers can not display brown on their monitors, nor print brown on a Ink-Jet Printer...! Considering Brown on a computer for a moment, The computer has an understanding of colour, by assigning each of it's pixels a value that is derived from the three phosphorous lights that combine to make all the colours of it's vast palette... But when searching for Brown, we discover that given each of these three pure hues; red, blue & green ( pigments use red, blue & yellow / and tempera paints ( ??? ) uses magenta, ultra marine, & yellow ) when you turn all of them off, you get black. Turn all of them on, and you get White, Set them all at half value, and you get grey. Set this grey with a little more Red, and you get Pink, a little less, & you get a dirty green, but not brown! No matter how you mix them, it will teasingly avoid coming around to brown...!!! If you've think you've seen brown on a computer monitor, what you've really been looking at is a dark red...! What does this mean for natural Browns on Trees or for the pungent tones of poop...!? These are a confused illusion of your eyeball to discern the wonderful ballet of pure-light colours jumping back & forth on these surfaces...!

Will it be Possible to Travel Faster than the Speed of Light?
The big question that goes unaddressed when some wag insists that you can't travel faster than the speed of light, is Why can't light travel faster than the speed of light...!???
When they figure that out, i suspect it will be easy to work our way around it.

What is a Difficult Puzzle?
An Ordinary Puzzle, As given as a Recreational Pastime; Is most easily identified by its having the answer to it carefully catalogued in the back of the book, usually before The Index. A Difficult Puzzle has no known solution! Its Solution, if it has one, will be found to be Definitive. That is; Any attentive 5th grader that is able to comprehend the desired objective of The Puzzle, Will, When The Puzzle has be Solved, Know that it has been Solved! Another attribute of The Difficult Puzzle, Is that it has no reasonable application or will contribute in any way to the greater good of society or Western Civilization.
Two Examples of A Difficult Puzzle
One
Numerical Alphabet
Given that some words are definitively associated with certain numbers,
Such as Alone with One, Bicycle with Two, CubeRoot with Three...
Find Words that are linked to their place in the Alphabet.
Allow for some Craziness when needed...
Argon with Eighteen ( R ) 18th Letter of the Alphabet!
Argon is the 18th Element on the Periodic Table of The Elements!

Thinking Outside the Box; That the box came in.
You have no doubt seen the puzzle which asks you to connect these nine dots with 4 lines.
. . .
. . .
. . .
It is easy enough to connect them with 5 lines, but to use 4 lines, you have extend them beyound the limit of the box that the outer dots define. That is the point of the Ordinary Puzzle.
To Think Outside The Box, That The Box Came In...
You are asked to solve this Puzzle with 3 Lines...
2 Lines & 1 Line...!!! ( ? )
This is an old Difficult Puzzle, and has been solved for 3, 2 , 1, 0 As well as 7 & 9 Lines!
The One Line Solution is particularly Elegant...!
The 2 Line Solution is still open, as it requires certain assumptions that i'm dissatisfied with...!!!
Each Solution should take a decidedly different approach, so that the 2 line solution is not simply a corrupted version of the One Line Solution...! As such; The 7 & 9 Line Solutions are unsatisfactory, as they use the same general approach.! The 6 & 8 Line Solutions are still Wide Open.

When a Fly Cries, Do The Angels Sing?
This is sometimes thought of as: The Problem of Caring
Just about every Religion that has ever attracted more than a basement full of adherents,
Has claimed that Angels are the messengers for Their Gawd.
i'm here to tell you that Angels are Real,
and that they are Strictly "NonDinominational".
That is; If they do have any 'Religious' beliefs, the religion that they attend to, is certainly not any of the ones that we ( The Damp Masses ) know about.
Out experiences with Angels are usually fairly mixed, but even so, when quixotic beings try to get us into mischief of one kind or another, or act more favorably towards our enemies than ourselves-- We ascribe that such beings are deamons, and not Angels!
But i suspect that they are all 'Bascially' one kind of being,
and 'Basically' adhere to one a)moral standard-- As that species...!!!
Each individual Angel may be relatively good or not particularly good,
But what i'm suggesting is-- That there are not two distinct kinds of quixotic beings, One good, and the other; Decidely evil.
i don't believe in 'evil' to begin with,
and to further antagonize you,
i don't believe in 'good' either...!
Whatever is favorable for YOU; that is good.
Whatever is Unfavorable for YOU; that is evil.
i've been trying now for sometime, to find a single example of something,
some attitute, some directive, some rule of thumb
that is consistently good for EVERYONE...!!!
( never mind cows, chickens & parameciums for the moment! )
And i can't seem to find one.
If The One True Gawd is genuinely 'Good'...
Then what is the nature of that goodness...???
So-- If Angels are Not motivated by a Universal Idealization of Goodness...
What does motivate them?
Self Interest.
Same as everybody else.
Ideally; When you act towards your own self-interest,
in a manner so that your self-interest is held to be benificial to you for 'the long haul'...!
...Then it is only inevitable that some of those actions that you take,
will benefit; indirectly, the interests of others.
When Angels act in a manner that benefits your self-interest,
rest assured that they are not acting primarily for your self-interest,
But for their own, foremostly!
and Secondarily; ( Perhaps ) for the Best Interests of The Universe.
[ In this sense,
The Universe includes the best interests of The One True Gawd,
as; from our perspective; The One True Gawd & her best interests;
qualitatively determine whether The Universe will continue to exist or not!
Such that; They are Equivalent ]
When a Fly cries; Do the Angels Sing?
As often as not.

How Can I Be Creative?
Somepeople are convinced that being creative consists of plugging into somekind of Muse Consortium, a wonderland like carnival atmosphere where the normal rules of cause and effect are temporarily suspended as the recepients brain is allowed to fill up with the dreams of gawds, deamons & faeries with stomaches full of LSD laced cookies.
Sadly-- And Fortunately! It's not like that!
In order to be Creative, all you have to do is pull a Creative Resultant Formula out from your loose-leaf notebook and fill in a few of the blanks,
Then with a tiny amount of Inductive Reasoning--
You'll have an entirely new idea!
In practice: It works something like this--
The number of Formulas are probably infinite,
but only a few dozen are easily available...
To find ( or steal ) one, examine a well known and 'clever' idea that you particularly like, and backwards engineer it to discover where it came from...
Rene Magritte's "Chateau des Pyrenees" for example...
This is a rather famous painting of a castle atop a large boulder,
that is floating over a seascape.
Where did the idea for this painting come from?
Well-- Obviously, without interviewing Rene, we have to make some guesses, but guesses in this case are actually more productive than asking the artist, because the artist; particularly in the case of surealists, will almost certainly try to mislead us into thinking all sorts of wrong-headed things...!!!
So-- Castles are quite common,
so he probably wanted to paint a castle,
and the first doodle may have easily been one on top of a mountain,
and below that, at the foot of the mountain,
a beach and beside that;
The sea.
Remove the beach
and there you have it!
That's being creative!
Simply start out with a well understood idea or concept,
which may include any number of objects & the things those objects do,
and then either:
1) find a new relationship between those elements
2) take away an elemental connecting concept
( such as a beach that connects a mountain to the sea )
How do you do this?
That's the most magical part...
being able to think a 'Strange' thought.
Allowing your brain to construct a sentence that contains ideas arranged in a novel way...
Seeing the functionality of a relationship between two, or more,
objects or concepts that no one has previously seen!
At this point;
Let us take a moment to examine another, creatively related concept...
and that is:
What makes an Idea 'Good'?
This is Easy! A Good Idea is One that has Application!
If an idea can be applied to other, well known, understood & accepted ideas, then it too; becomes a good idea.
A bad idea is one that lacks application...
Such as a Hexagonical Wheel.
As a painter; A Hexigonical Wheel may be painlessly inserted into an illustration and no harm will be done...!
But try to invent a Hexigonical Wheel and attach it to a Car or Bicycle,
and you'll find that it's not a good idea!
If you're trying to come up with a good idea,
simply pull 'things' out of a hat, perhaps a Literal Hat!
and then:
Apply Inductive Reasoning to them as a pair...
What is the relationship between these two items;
How can they be 'Attached' to one-another to become 'more' than either of them have to offer by themselves.
This takes a little practice;
but the important thing is-- It's not magical,
It's a skill that you can hone into with practice
and the studious exploitation of your underutilized brain...!

Will Aliens ( When We Meet Them ) Look Like Us?
Or Alternately; Are we living in a Star Trek Universe?
There are two schools of thought on this:
Yes
& No.
The No camp thinks that there are just so many different ways to make a animal, that the chances of an intelligent being, that is well versed in the skill of piloting a starship and even remotely resembling a human being, will be ludicrously improbable.
---
The Yes bevy is attached to the more axiomatic idea that
'Only Possible things are Possible'
which differs from the opinion that 'Anything is Possible'.
As such; If you look around you, at all the other animals in the world, particularly, for our current purposes, the kinds most unlike us...
Such as Insects, for example;
if we're only going to consider multicellular, fauna...! ( ? )
Then you'll notice that if you take a beetle and make it big enough to hold an intelligent brain, it will have a strong resemblance, without modification, to the humanoid form.
It will have too many legs, but i'm thinking that evolution will favor the least number of legs that an animal can get by on, especially if it's going to be a 'big' animal...??? That is; If a small animal, like a beetle...
--which; by the way, reproduce in the thousands--
...were to loose a leg by some misfortune, then it would, in all probability limp off and do reasonably well without it, or it's many brothers & sisters would pick up the slack.
A big animal, however; will most certainly die after loosing a leg,
and the more legs you have, that you have to invest resources in,
only provides your enemies with another leg to chew off.
Thus: The fewer legs you have, the better for your evolutionary chances of survivial.
Likewise; BiSymetry is strongly perfered,
A mouth and Anus located at opposite ends of the organism,
Multiple Sensory apperatus located all at one end,
to more easily examine things...
and so on.
We were not accidently taken to this form,
but trimmed carefully to this shape by the ever frugal nature of Darwins scissors.
Green hair,
17 fingers,
hooves for feet,
Knees that bend backwards...
may occur from time to time at these futuristic picnics,
but the group photos will invariably include alot of very funny looking people,
just as they always have.

When is It Alright to Use Irony?
A short excerpt from:
The Carbon Based Mistake
See... I refuse to put emoticons :) on my email. Sometimes that confuses people, but damn it! I can't bring myself to use those fucking things! Maybe sometimes I will write "hahahaha" if I am really worried about an emotion not being represented correctly, but most of the time I say if they don't get the joke: fuck 'em.
---
i hate to use emoticons too, although--
i used one for along time, it was this one:
d:-D
because i started wearing a ball cap at about that time,
and i wore it ALL THE TIME...!!!
But getting back to Irony and Emoticons...
i don't think you should ever use Irony when you're with people because there are alot of genuinely crazy people that genuinely have all kinds of the craziest imaginable attitudes and beliefs about EVERYTHING...!!!
So that when you are talking to either friends or strangers, and you bring up some topic, and saying -sarcastically- ( ironically ) some such & such...
Your listeners will really have no idea that you are saying is exactly the opposite of what you really believe, and the net effect will be to simple confuse them!
It would be nice if we lived in a mostly reasonable world, where most people believed sensible things, and only a few crazy politicians &/or foreigners would occasionall express some outlandish idea...
But the world that we are actually living in, contains so many crazy people, with so many crazy ideas, that the real test of a genuinely sane person--
is the awareness that they alone, in the entire world, may, very well, be in posession of an idea or belief that is actually sensible!
When you do slip, and say something Ironical, or an out & out LIE in the form of BullSh*t or somesuch...
Then i would further advise you to NEVER back down and say;
'I was just kidding...!'
That is SOOOO! lame...!
i hate it when someone does that...!!!
What should you do?
If you're worried about the people that you're with will think of you...
Then you have to make them realize that you were in fact; Just Kidding!
But you can't tell them that!
So you instead have to keep it up, adding more & more rediculous facts or opinions to your previously stated convictions--
until FINALLY; they 'Catch on' that 'You can't be serious'...
If however someone asks; "Are you Serious...!!!???"
You must always insist that you are...!
This may result in a situation where they never do 'Catch-On'
and bitter feelings all around may result,
OR it will become painfully obvious that the company that you're keeping
consists principly of imbiciles & nitwits.
So-- When can you use Irony?
In print perhaps, and always anonomously.
