my dangerous ideas
•How•Past•Civilizations•Avoided•War•
Perhaps many of the grandiose projects in the past were not enacted for the reasons commonly told, But begun by farsighted politicians that genuinely wanted to avoid war, By building pyramids, earth-mounds, stupendously long walls or populous junk— Just to keep the damp masses busy. To keep idle hands busy and their thoughts off the wonder & majesty of war.

•Screen•Saver•Universe•
Video Games are getting very close to emulating environments which are indistinguishable from Our Reality.
If they could be supplemented with a device which would allow characters within the game to experience genuine consciousness, Then those entities would believe that they are living in a world just as detailed & complicated as ours.
From our perspective as Voyeurs; It would be essentially equivalent if these Characters behaved as if they believed that they were genuinely conscious, which seems like a very small step to me. All The behaviours and motivations that we believe we experience and are motivated by, could easily be simulated and superimposed into these characters.
Such an illusion would require a few clever tricks to pick up the slack of referring to each atom that we believe exists independently in our world, But these tricks are actually few in number and easily managed.
The Fist Assumption to contribute to this idea is that within each Humanimal Skull is a bowl of jello, much of which is intended to operate the robot under it. The remaining portions contain a complete model of The Universe.
That fragmentary information is all that's really necessary to allow entities in a screen saver universe to believe that their reality is entirely consistent and fully described to each unseen electron.
The Reality Generator would simply draw upon each entities repository of what they think the universe consists of, and paint that view for their sensory experiences.
What is behind a door, in a cabinet, on the page of a book or the thoughts of a stranger met at a bus stop -- Need not exist, or take up memory on The Host Computer, until it's required. And at that point, The Reality Generator fills in the gaps with what the selected entity expects, how the universe has been previously defined by that & other entities, and additional temporary details made up on the fly. Additionally; The Reality Generator can infuse into any given entity a sense of familiarity, So that everything that should be consistent in their environment, at least seems familiar.
Distant Stars, Elephants in Africa, Pictures in All The library Books & The inner mechanisms of an alarm clock remain undefined until some conscious entity within the screen saver takes a closer look at them.
- -
Are we living in such a Reality?
Curiously; There is really no way of Testing It.
Since everything is made up when we examine it to make us believe that it is real, and that that reality is created to meet our expectations of reality, All such examinations will pass that test!
Perhaps the one weakness that may suggest that this reality is A Screen Saver Universe, Is if Numerous Examples can be found that Infer that This Reality is Kookier than it should be.
But it must first be determined how kooky a Real Reality may be...?
- - -
The Screen Saver Universe Theory make several deep questions that don’t make any sense in Evolutionary Theory or The Natural Sciences to Suddenly become astonishingly Obvious and Easy to Comprehend.
Such as Consciousness.
Evolutionary Development should be perfectly happy to create complex or not so complex robots that serve to make more self replicating molecules. Why does it add on Consciousness, and how does a ‘Mind’ See things. Why would a Mind want to see things. It only needs to respond to visual stimuli. There’s no reason at all for it to Understand what it’s seeing or responding to.
In The Screen Saver Reality; The Eyes & Visual Cortex are a Red Herring to make us believe that we are Natural beings in A Natural World, because that’s part of The Game. When The Mind ‘Sees’ things, It’s The Reality Generator that is Telling Each Mind what it’s looking at. The Eyes and Brain don’t interpret anything, its all given to The Mind on a Platter. The Mind that ‘Autonomously’ Interprets and Acts on this Data and Acts Accordingly. The Same is True for Speech that we Hear and all Our other Sensory information. The Brain is a Red Herring !
What is then so curious is that Computer Programmers are trying to ‘Reason Out’ how our Eyes and Brains work in The Natural World to Create a Precogitator and Cogitating Robots. Will They Succeed? Will a Robot ever become Conscious, and if so, How could we ever Test for That? The Robot may say its Conscious, but it may be mistaken or just out & out lying !
Would it know that it’s lying?
- -
Other Easy to Explain Phenomena would be Gravity and ElectoMagnetism; which don’t have any underlying principles, but are merely rules that The Reality Generator Executes.
- - -
But if this is so; What is The True Reality Like, without Consciousness, Gravity & Magnetism. Without Light, Heat & Causality? The Entire Idea of ‘Substance’ ‘Matter’ and ‘Motion’ may be completely different or missing in The True Reality.

•existence•is•fleeting•
There is an idea that seems fairly plausible, And that is that it is far more reasonable & likely that any given awareness or some pocket of reality that is being experienced at any given moment or period of time; Perhaps lasting thousands or billions of years, Or Perhaps lasting only for the moment that it has taken to consider this Idea... Is An Illusion of A Past that Never Existed.
As Opposed to The Common Belief that the entire universe has been in existence by some natural order of things and come to this point from some infinitesimal point in the distant past.
Such that the prior view would be that the universe as it is experienced, comes into and pops out of existence by purely random antiforces.
- - -
A similar idea to this: Is that while we perceive reality as continuous, occurring with one moment following the next in rapid succession, It may be that our Reality depends upon an invisible mechanism that takes gazillions of years to model each moment of our existence.
i think it is entirely reasonable to suspect that the periods of experience that we think of as Moments-- Require an Innumerable Number of Intermediate Steps, Each of Which might easily be a Moment of their own.

•Humans•are•no•smarter•than•fish•
i've had this idea for a long time, and in the past few years, i have come across this same core idea in the writings of others... So it might Not be so Extremely Crazy After All.
The essential idea is that many animals, Perhaps the lowest Commonly Considered Animal for This Argument, Is The Crow or Raven. These are very smart animals with very tiny Brains.
One might also consider that a school of fish and a herd of zebras behave exactly the same way. A troupe of chimpanzees may have a noticeably different class of internal politics, but if you then fall back to a plain of gophers, their Two behaviours is highly comparable.
This idea is extended to consider what a humanimal mind can do; Without Language.
That is; If you were to extract the Language Ability from a Person; How would their intelligence compare to a Raven?
Actual Behavioural Testing along these lines, Suggest that they would be able to count to about Seven, Solve simple puzzles, Shape Sticks & Wires to achieve some purpose, Remember what is around a corner that is currently out of view, and so on.
They would have about equal abilities.
This experiment was actually conducted by circumstance with the Tasaday of the Philippines. This group of people were driven from their preliterate communities into the jungle, where they lived for about 50 years. When they were discovered, they expressed behaviors no more sophisticated than new world monkeys.
My own view on this is extended with the observation that sometime ago, in the early days of computers, a program named Eliza was written that convinced many people that it was actually conscious. The program was very simple and consisted of about a dozen typed pages of instructions. Eliza was easily tripped up with pointed questions, but the seed of the idea that genuinely conscious people can be so easily fooled is indeed remarkable.
This is followed up with my own observation that most people speak only in cliches. They Rarely; If Ever, express an original idea or generate a unique thought.
i believe that Language & Symbolic Handling of Perceptions in The Humanimal Brain has allowed The Damp Masses to Perpetrate The Hoax of Intelligence.
By far & above, Most positions ( Jobs ) in Any Given Culture are held by people that have been trained by Classic Pavlovian Conditioning to Turn a Crank or Pull a series of Ropes to Accomplish some Task. By Codifying These Steps with The Trick of Language; The Damp Masses may appear to be accomplishing deeply complicated tasks, But this is easily exposed by simply moving the position of a crank or changing the color of a rope.
There are a tiny percentage of humanimals that appear to transcend these limitations--
But i honestly believe that if a town were to be set aside and filled with people whose IQ was 'Average' ( IQ 100 ±10 points )
...They would; Without the Supervisory Help of More Intelligent Humans to Solve Their Simplest Original Problems-- They would quickly degenerate to The Technological & Social Attributes of a Prairie of Marmots. Even if they had access to Replacement parts to their machines & other constructions, Everything would eventually break down in someway that the Average Inhabitants would not be able to repair, causing them to abandon more & more automobiles & homes.
A Moments Reflection will reveal that the technologies that we may -now a days- consider the most primitive technologies, such as making fire or stone tools, were originally created by genius’ and then tediously & painfully taught to the smartest ( 120 to 140 IQs ) members of their small communities. The remaining members may have learned to straighten sticks or bring water from a river, But the actual skills that allowed them to slowly crawl up from scampering over savannas, tearing the flesh from animals killed & abandoned by large predators, was held by only a very few in their groups.
- - -
Another small point; Is how easily it is to turn peoples brain's off by -Pushing Their Buttons-.
It is quite easy to cause an apparently functional adult or child to become completely hysterical and revert to their most elemental simianese behaviour by merely laying a hand on their back, touching an arm or hand, mentioning a particular word or giving them an incomprehensible look. This suggests that their Pavlovian Conditioning is very weakly applied, and may be pealed off with almost no lifting pressure at all.
Or it may be suggested that The Hysterical Behaviour is Their True Pavlovian Conditioning, And that their Functional Persona is just a thin varnish that they use to cover their true nature, that they, Conditionally understand, is unacceptable to exhibit when performing their daily routines.
- -
While these -Out Bursts- may, by some, be considered expressions of mental illness...
It may be more accurate to consider that the fragile chocolate coating on our chilly vanilla flavored -natural behaviours- are the real mental aberrations. This shellacking of behaviours that are loosely painted over our true natures, Is the Real Mental Illness.
What is The True Nature of HomoSapiens?
How would a group of say; 100 HomoSapiens behave if they were somehow extracted and freed from all Cultural Conditioning?
- - -
All Mammals have a ReAction Time of About 1/5th of a Second. This is also the Approximate amount of Time that Lunge Predators take to Jump At them, or The Amount of Time that An Ape has to ‘orient’ themselves when falling from a Branch that is not so high to kill them outright, or so low as to pose no real danger.
It has been my contention for a long time that the speed of our ( All Animals & Aliens ) thinking is determined by the strength of their planet's gravity. Any Animal has to think fast enough to prepare themselves for a fall, and pretty much no faster.
So that if we ever find Sentient Creatures on another larger ( more massive ) planet than our own, they will think substantially faster, while intelligent creatures on less massive planets, will think more sluggishly.
- - -
At The Opposite End of This:
i have also long considered that these genius' that i am suggesting were responsible for every little advancement of Western Civilization, are actually quite common.
In a very small tribal group of hunter-gatherers, they may have to wait for several generations for a genius to come along and make some improvement to a tool or technology that they've been struggling with for maybe several hundred years.
A small group like this would also have to deal with the problem of regression. That is; For every 3 steps they manage to take forward, One may be a misstep, and after a time, 2 or more steps will be forgotten or lost. Which explains why human civilization)s has stagnated for thousands of years at a time, then suddenly leapt forward, and later fallen back to a point that an entire civilization will be abandoned.
There is also the situation in which a genius comes along and develops a school or following that allows a community or nation or continent to advance for many years, only to loose their footing and fall back. This reversal may be due to the sudden reduction in available genius' that and until then; permission from the society to create -new- things. Or the fall back may be due to a conflict of great ideas, or that strong willed dumb people take control of the community.
Plague has also been known to destroy civilizations.
Even -now a days- there have been innumerable wonderful advances that were made centuries ago, and for a variety of reasons, abandoned and replaced by less sophisticated tools or routines that are easier for the damp masses to use.
But-- In any given large community, there are a solid 1 or 2 Percent that are true genius'. For a Simple city of A Million, That's 10,000 or more genius'. So where are they?
They have been conditioned, like everyone else, to fit in. And while in centuries past, a genius may have been burned at the stake as a witch, The modern Genius rarely finds a niche that they may excel within. Many become doctors or Engineers, But many end up as Plumbers that develop a reputation as a miracle worker. It has long been recognized that many genius' end up working menial jobs in libraries or some other occupation that requires little to no effort, so that they can live in their own little world. Their homes may be stacked with books or crazy projects that they have learned, by trial & error, never to share with anyone else. And then when they die, Their houses are cleaned out, and everything is thrown away.
By far & above, most genius' are squandered by society. The damp masses hate change. It is has been programmed into them from their most primitive aquarian origins. Change is dangerous. Any change will almost certainly result in a more precarious situation, rarely will it benefit them. There are far more ways a viable situation can be turned sour, than made more agreeable. Change must only be tolerated when things are already so poorly going that any change may be tolerable. But by then; It's usually too late.
Any Contributions made by Genius', must be made very slowly; So that The Damp Masses are unaware that any -Real- Substantive- change has taken place, and who was responsible, must always be kept a secret. ( Historically; It is well established that the originators of break-through ideas, are rarely credited, by the popular press, as responsible. Which allows the genius to survive a day longer, and create another clever stone tool. )

But No. i am stating without qualification or reservation that in excess of 97% of all lessons taught to the children of Any Given Subset of Western Civilization, is Exactly The Opposite of What is most probably True.

Are We Living in a Universe that is So Cruel,
That it Allows Us to Be Aware That We Are Robots?
- -
If you allow that we are living in a Material Universe... Which may include Spiritual Elements of Unknown Specifications, which sufficiently obey the basic premise of Cause & Effect, Then This Universe would apply to all Scientific & Religious Models; Excluding only those that believed ( Reasonably Perhaps? ) That The Order that is Perceived is an Illusion, And True, Pure Randomality is the only Causation Force in This World.
Given then: That we are living in a Material Universe, Some parts of which may be UnSeen, MisUnderstood & Incomprehensible...
We are Allowing for The Time Being that The Brain is a Physical Artifact that is by Some Mechanism; The Node of Conscious Thought.
The Brain is clearly responsible for The Behaviour of The Body & The Sensory Perceptions that The Brain Uses to Think With.
If one is to allow that there are Sensory Experiences beyound those easily attributed to The Organs of The Body; So be it. This will Not Effect the Conclusions of This Argument.
In Either Case; The Brain is somehow linked to The Mind, By Some arguments; The Brain Generates All Thoughts of The Mind, By some Other Arguments; There are Additional Thoughts introduced by Other Agencies.
Which Ever is True; There is The Remaining Dichotomy of Generated Thoughts & Experienced Thoughts.
The Experienced Thoughts are The Ones that we Call Consciousness.
The Problem is then; These Experienced Thoughts constitute what we also call;
-Awareness- & -Freewill-
These are The Attributes that Define our Autonomy. It is our Awareness & Freewill that allow us To Choose Good over Evil, Peanut Butter over Tunafish, Poetry over Skydiving.
But if the source of All of our Thoughts is from The Thought Generator; Then it is The Generator that makes the Choices. We are merely Watching These Things Happen.
Might it somehow be possible that Our Conscious Thoughts, that come into being from The Thought Generator, Influence or Control The Thoughts Created By The Thought Generator?
Such an Idea is Not Merely Recursive or Circular, Nor is it Mysteriously Paradoxical.
It is merely Wrong.
All Thoughts That are Experienced, Must first be Generated Somewhere, by Some Mechanism, And then Experienced. The Experienced Thoughts are merely Experienced, They have No ability to Jump backwards into The Thought Generator.
Any such intent would be made by The Thought Generator.
Does The Thought Generator itself experience Consciousness, Awareness &/or Freewill?
If so; Such Entities may be thought of as mischievious homunculii that project onto a opaque screen what we see & think, and have No Control over.

•Entropy•is•terribly•misinterpreted•
One of The Most Obvious Fallacies of Entropy, Is it's assertion that Any Given Environment is becoming more disorderly. If this is so; then The Universe, At the moment of The Big Bang were in a State of Perfect Order, and the moments & millennia there after were more orderly than The Universe of Today.
At the simplest level; What do they mean by Order?
At A Grander Scale; It seems obvious to me that Heat has a tendency to push things apart, While Gravity has a tendency to pull things together,
And ElectroMagnetism does both.
It may be that it is far more likely that an egg will fall from a table and break open, than the inverse of this action... But the egg on the floor is just as orderly as the egg on the table. The Egg on the Floor, And the Egg on The Table; Are what they are. Why would anyone Believe that one is more orderly than the other? If any argument could be made for this example; The egg on the table, that fall to the floor, always produces a broken egg that very closely resembles any other broken egg. Clearly; a very orderly process is being perpetrated.
The Perception & Labeling of Things as Quantitatively Orderly is a Subjective Illusion.

i would find it very curious indeed if At No Time in The History of HomoHomoSapienSapenites, Were A Small Group of Reasonably Intelligent Cave Men to suddenly come to The Most Egregious Realization; That Everyone Else was A Complete Imbecile.
Such a CaveMan would find living with his Fellows Completely Intolerable and Choose to Live Off by Him or Herself as a Hermit.
This Would have Played Out Innumerable Times, Until, Just by Chance; Two Such Individual's meet and Recognize The Genius of The Other.
This Amazing Insight would then Require a Third Leap of Apprehension;
And that is; Let's Live Together and Seek out Other Genius'!
Thus; This First Club of Super Genius' is Formed.
It may well be that these Clubs were numerous at first, but most every one of them were bogged down by Nepotism &/or Ideological Differences, which caused them to implode and dissipate.
But there Must ( ? ) have been one group that lasted long enough to overcome these problems and survive for a few centuries.
Once such a group was able to establish lasting roots, A Village of Their Own, And a Technology that was 20 or 50 years ahead of their surrounding communities... They should have been able to create a manageable system of tolerance for ideological diffusion & free expression of thought, While maintaining a Stable & Self-Sustaining Core of Preservation & Growth.
Such a Group would have Members that would Marry and Have Children, But have the Awareness that Their Children would Not Necessarily Inherent A Membership into This Secret Society.
That it's members would be found out and recruited by often very mischievous means. The Ancient Belief in Changelings might easily be applied to One Such Recruitment Strategy...!
This Secret Organization may have found remote places to live & Work, or They may have integrated Themselves into Established Communities of 'Ordinaries', Stealthily working behind the curtains to maintain the stability & security of these communities, While insulating them from an Awareness of their superior existence.
This Group would work together, sharing ideas and methods to creep forward Technologically, Ethically & Socially, So that they would soon be Hundred or Thousands of years ahead of The Ordinaries.
It would be childishly simple for them to keep Their Villages or Centers of High Advancement a Secret from The Ordinaries, Hiding them in Plain Sight, or Succinctly Eliminating Anyone that Knew Too Much.
---
One Very Important Point is that All The Members of This Group, Whose Name is Truly a Secret, Are also Unknown.
This Group is NOT The Illuminatii, Bilderbergs Freemasons, The Knights Templar or The Rosicrucians... These Groups serve ( UnKnowingly ) to Hide The Truly Secret Society.
DisInformation is The Most Powerful Tool in Keeping A Secret. DisInformation allows A Secret to Be Revealed; So that The Truth of This Secret is Forever Uncertain...!
Everyone that You May Think is A Member of This Truly Secret Society, Was Most Certainly Not A Member of The Truly Secret Society.
Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Einstein And Many Other Pop Cultural Icons of Intellect; Were Merely Bright Ordinaries.
It may Well Be that a few Potential Members of This Truly Secret Society were Either Overlooked for Membership into The Society, Or Excluded for Some Abstruse Reasoning...?
Such that The Ordinaries would be Exposed to A Super Genius from Time to Time. This would probably always have ended badly for the unprotected Genius.
---
What does this Truly Secret Society Do?
Do they build & Operate The Flying Disks?
Have they Saved The World Innumerable Times from Devastating Wars, or Caused Pointless Wars to Effect Some Desired Objective...?
Are they merely Indifferent to The Needs & Desires of The Ordinaries?
Are they Content to live in A Quiet Opulence far beyound The Means of The Ordinaries, Perhaps Right Under Our Noses...! ( ? )
They would Certainly have Access to A Technological Base 10,000 years beyound That of The Ordinaries, But do They also Possess Art & Music that Makes Mozart sound like the beating of sticks on rocks?
Are these Genius' SuperConscious?
What is SuperConsciousness?
Are They; For all Reasonably Quantifiable Measures of Abilities & Attributes... A Parallel Group of Humanimals that The Ordinaries would Call; Witches?

•The•Kitchen•floor•
The Kitchen Floor is The Bottom of The Universe.
It may be that there are Local Kitchen Floors, And A Truly, Truly Kitchen Floor at The Very, Very Bottom of All The Many, Many Tiers of The Continuum of Realities.
Out Local Kitchen Floor is what Tells All The Electrons in This Universe - How to Behave.
It seems Very Remarkable to me that There is Some Universal Guide Book by Which All The Electrons can Refer to; To Tell them how to Interact with Photons, Protons & Other Electrons.
This Kitchen Floor, To be Effective in Maintaining What seems like an Orderly Universe, Must be Astonishingly Flat.
For all These Pages of Instructions to Be Exactly The Same for All Electrons, Throughout The Universe... How could this Be.
The Counter Argument for This would Be that All The Particles in The Universe Should Do Whatever They Want to Do, Acting in a Disorganized Manner, As Randomality Dictates that they should.
---
This Kitchen Floor must have engraved upon it's tiles, Each of Which is Exactly The Same as All Others... ! ...A Rule that All The Particles or Wave Forms Must Adhere to.
How Complex is This Rule?
Realistically...??? ...This Rule Must be Very Simple, And it must then Apply to A very small number of Elemental Units--
Which Then use The Rule to Create The Observed Complexity of The Universe.
What i think would be a Fascinating Project, Would be to Create A Simple Computer Program That Applies A Very Simple Rule to Some Elemental Simulated Particle is Such a Way that it Allows for Tremendous Structure and Complexity as it Expands Outward...
Kind of Like a Penrose Tiling, Only with Simpler Instructions and Only One Tile.
If it could somehow be Proven that No Such Tiling is Possible... That would be Very Compelling Evidence that There is Something Seriously Wrong with Reality Itself...
Or-- That the Rules of The Kitchen Floor must be Considerably More Complex...
Which Then Begs The Question; Is There An Underlying Structure to The Kitchen Floor...?
Obviously-- There must be; But his Refutes The Initial Premise of The Kitchen Floor...! ( ! )

On The Most Elemental Level...
Math is Digital & Reality is Analog.
That is; Reality 'Calculates' it's Operational Parameters with Infinite Precision,
While Math is Restricted to a Very Well Defined Limit of Precision, And more Importantly, Because of This Inherent Imprecision at Every Tier of Compound Operations; These Rounding Off Errors have The Potential of Either Canceling Each Other Out, ( Gravitating Towards The White Noise of About-Rightness ) -- Or Straying Wildly from The Intended Solution. There are Applications which Express Each of These Error Scenarios, But in Either Case; The Correct Solution, The Solution that The Universe would have Selected-Out is pushed far to the Way-Side.
---
It might be Suggested; In This Slight Digression, That The Universe Itself is Limited by What Physicists Call: Planck's Constant, Which is a Very, Very Small Quanta of Energy, Time & Space-- By Which The Precision of The Universe's Operations Jump from Value to Value.
That is; There are No Values or Precise Measurements Smaller Than This Planck's Constant.
Is This Real? Or is Merely Another Convenience That Mathematicians & Experimentalists have Contrived to Provide for a Bottom by Which No Further Attempts at Precision are Necessary?
---
In Real Experiences that i have come across, When working with Very Small Numbers & Few Itinerations of Calculations... i am annoyed that i can Simply Divide a Given Value by a Variable, Then Attempt to Reconstruct this Amount by means of a Equal Number of Multiplications-- And very often, The End Result will be slightly Off.
That is; When Rendering Simple Graphical Images, It is often The case that The Ends Will Not Quite Match up with The Beginning in a Circular Pattern.
And the reason is that the Calculations drifted slightly at each Tier of The Loop. In a case like this; The Equalization of White Noise is Hoped to Cancel out Each MisStep, And i'm sure it does to some Extent, But it never quite Cancels out all The MisSteps.
And if we were to ABS(x) All these MisSteps, So that at the end of the Itineration, We would really see how much each of these MisSteps is Taking us for.
---
Another Element of The MisUse of Mathematics to Model The Universe; Is That all the Equations that are used to do this are Ridiculously Simplified, While in The Real World, Every Electron's Magnetic Field & Tiny Gravitational Effect is Influencing Every Other Electron in The Universe.
It just makes me Crazy when Mathematicians Assert That their Calculations are so Precise that they can Blast a Space Probe Millions of Miles to A Distant Planet or Moon and Have it Arrive there Inches from it's Desired Location.
And... How many Mid-Course Corrections were Included in These Maneuvers...?
---
What allows Mathematicians & Physicists so Much Hubris when using Math to Describe Reality, Is that for most Applications, Pretty Close is Plenty Close Enough.
It doesn't really matter if a Space Probe is only Pretty Close to Where they Want it, It will still return some pretty pictures.
If a Ray-Tracing CGI Image is Only Taken to 4 Levels of Shadowy Reflections, Most Lay Persons will Insist that The Resulting Image is Photographically Perfect.
What is Very Curious about this Last Example is that As Artistic Stylizations Change, So Do The Damp Masses Ability to Perceive The Realness of These Images...! ( ? ) That is; What was Considered Perfect CGI Images 5 years ago, are Now Considered Charmingly Hokey at Best.
It's Extremely Fascinating that Not So Long Ago, People Thought That The Grainy Black & White Images of Early Cinematography were Indistinguishable from Reality...!!!

•Democracy•is•the•very•antithesis•

The idea behind Democracy is that the people of a society are in control of their own lives.
One man, one vote.
But in reality; The Damp masses routinely fall victim to the whims and personalities of dynamic individuals that convince them to vote by democratic processes, for things that are very much Not in their best interests.
This is why many very shrewd people are encouraging new nations to adopt democracy as a political model, so their populations may be more easily manipulated and controlled.
In the United States; Great care has been taken to ensure that our 'Democracy' can not be shanghaied by independents by making sure that any unauthorized third party has no chance of even squeezing in between the false dichotomy of The Republicans & Democrats, which routinely support issues that have always been held important to the other...
The Correct Political model to be used, is that of a society lead by a genuinely magnanimous philosopher king, which is given absolute authority over all things.

•consciousness•is•a•cheat•for•reasoning•
It is commonly believed that because a being is endowed with consciousness or worse; Speech, then they must be capable of reasoning.
Few things could be farther from the truth.
This was mentioned in a Throw away line in Star Wars I, but it true nevertheless.
Many people ‘believe’ that flies are not really conscious, but if they were, would they be capable of ‘reasoning’, or do they lead simple lives of simply responding to things and ‘Watching’ what they do.
On our level; many very, very disabled people that are capable of speech, are bereft of reasoning. Those few examples which may be used to contradict this assertion will most certainly find that their behaviours which were reasoned out, were actually The product of classical pavlovian conditioning or evolutionary instinctual reactions.

The question now is; How can you connect all of them, so that this sheaf of papers may recreate those 15_minutes of Conscious Experiences...? !

•fat•ladies•fall•faster•than•babies•
The reason that a fat lady falls towards the earth is because of the gravitational force being exerted by the ( proportionality ) of Mass of the Earth.
What is So Very, Very often disregarded however is that the fat lady also has a specific Mass which is exerting her own gravitational field and is pulling up on the earth.
Likewise; The baby is pulling up on the earth as the earth is pulling it down.
To conduct an experiment in which both are dropped side by side to determine which will hit first, completely invalidates the independence of each, as they are now both pulling up on the earth together.
The experiment should be conducted with the fat lady being dropped and timed, then the baby being dropped and timed. The results will completely demonstrate that they fell at the same speed because the earth is only about a million trillion times more massive than either, and that's what you're actually measuring.
Try this experiment again using The Moon and The baby. The results will be somewhat more conclusive that the fat lady ( represented by the moon ) does fall substantially faster than the baby.

Are The Rich Better Off Than The Poor?
When one considers The Rich, Middle Class, Lower Middle Class, or American & European Poor against The Wretchedly Poor of Calcutta, The Yanomami of Central Brazil or The Hillbillies of Arkansas; Then The Rich & Poor of Mississippi are Clearly more endowed in Every Imaginable Category.
But i would prefer to consider for A Moment— The Filthy Rich, The Billionaires & Trillionaires - Compared to The Simply Poor of America or Europe. These Simply Poor live in Ramshackled Inner City Apartments, or Flea Infested, One Bedroom houses with Few, if Any, Unbroken Windows.
What Advantages Do The Filthy Rich have Over The Simply Poor.
It is my Assertion that The Only Two Things that The Filthy Rich Enjoy Over The Simply Poor are: Gratuitous Opulence & The Ability to Fix Small Problems, Invisibly.
The Larger; Gratuitous Opulence is The One people most readily notice.
This concerns The Ability Of The Rich is Satisfy Every Slightest Whim, And Surround Themselves with Piles of Well Dusted Crap.
The Poor can also fill their homes with Crap, and with sufficient Industriousness, Dust it occasionally.
The Difference on This Point is That for The Poor to Enjoy any Given Luxury, They must choose it wisely and Scrimp & Save to Obtain it... But given a sufficient Desire for Some -x- ; It is my belief that The Simply Poor could Acquire it in a reasonable amount of time.
The More Important Difference; And The One that is Not so easily overcome as The Prior Ability for The Rich to Construct an Opulent Artificial World Around themselves... Which The Artistic Poor could just as easily accomplish with simple toil & focus...
Is The Ability for The Rich to Solve Small Problems with Indifferent Effort.
A Small Problem for The Rich is Nothing, While an Equal problem for The Simply Poor may be Devastating.
A Broken Toilet or A Flat Tire for The Rich is a Minor Inconvenience, While For The Simply Poor, It may Paralyze their lives for Weeks or Months.
A Broken Arm is Annoying for The Rich and may be Life Threatening for The Poor, but if Set; Both will take 8 Weeks to Heal.
Large Problems are Large Problems for Both Rich & Poor.
A house Burning down may be less an inconvenience for The Rich that will simply move to another of their homes or to a hotel, While the Poor may move in with Friends or Relatives... But The Emotional Anguish & Misery for Both will be Equivalent.
A Serious Illness for Either will Threaten The Life Sustaining Chemistry of Both.
- -
In Industrialized Cities, The Rich & Poor enjoy Lush Parks, Museums, Libraries & Reliable Transportation. Any Desire that The Rich or Poor may lust after is obtainable to both; But for The Poor, The Time to attain it may be longer.
Love & Sex for Both is Equal. A Sunset for Both is Free.
The Nagging Wife or Mother-in-Law is The Same of Each.
- -
Is this why The Rich are so against Nationalized Health Care?
If The Poor were able to solve this class of Simple Problems with the same ease as The Rich... The Advantage of Being Rich would be Diminished by The Weight of Another Golden Toaster.
- -
What would come after this?
If The Simply Poor were provided Clean, Reliable Housing...
What would be left?
The Simply Poor would still be Stupid, Dull & Slovenly...
But The Rich may still take offense that All Their Wealth Buys them only Drawers & Drawers of Polished Golden Spoons to Compare with The Single Functionality of The Poor's One Wooden Spoon. The Rich would feel sorely cheated that they can only hold One of Their Golden Spoons at a Time...
- -
And that the Poor live The Same 60 years or so.

•happiness•is•only•the•absence•of•pain•
It is generally thought that people enjoy many things, that these things bring them happiness, but in each case; i would suggest that it makes far more sense to consider that by doing these things, you are avoiding pain. Food may bring you some pleasure, but what you are really seeking is the avoidance of hunger. More Obviously; Many smokers insist that they enjoy smoking, but it is far more compelling to believe that they are avoiding the pain of nicotine withdrawal. Most people believe that having sex is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but by examining those people that seek it more than most, it becomes clear that they seek sex because there is an awful pain, or desire for the release of their Pounding sexual tension that they seek to excise themselves from. And more convincingly; Those people that seek out -These Pleasures- immediately refrain from them, once the pain of their desire is sated. If sex were really so pleasurable, then men would rarely engage in a quickie, then immediately pull their pants up and leave. If food were really so enjoyable, then people would constantly be eating. ( exceptions to this are -negatively- proved by people that endlessly eat bland or unappetizing food, merely for the activity of eating, which for whatever reasons, are not turned off in their brains. )
This same argument may be made for chain smokers, but again; the more common pattern is to smoke a cigarette to sate the pain of no-cigarettes.

•Clear•thinking•and•or•logic•are•bunk•
Logic Proves that Logic is Bunk!
Several Arguments:
- - - - - -
Let it allow first that Logic is Bunk.
If so;
Then no successful argument for anything could be made by means of a logical argument.
Given then that logic is flawed in such a way that no conclusions may be trusted, and given from actual practice we know that it is quite easy to construct an irrefutable argument that either proves something nonsensical -And- It's Contradiction -Or- a Paradox whose truth can not be ascertained.
Then a Seemingly Irrefutable Logical Argument
Could be made to Either Prove or Disprove that Logic is Bunk.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
What if our initial premise : "Logic is Bunk." is Wrong...!!!
Then; =Believing That= Logic is Bunk is Correct, It should be possible;
Given a set of reasonable premises & axioms, That logic is in fact Bunk.
- - - -
Else:
No such argument could be Made.
Logic is Not Bunk, and consequently;
No such argument that it Is Bunk, Could ever be made.
- - -
If this were so;
That No Such Argument could be Made that Logic Is Not Bunk---
Then: It may well be that Logic Is Unknowably Bunk,
That is; Logic could not prove that it is in fact Bunk or Not Bunk—
Means that Logic is Bunk.
- - -
Or
An irrefutable argument is successfully made that that logic is not bunk.
Then such an argument would always / should always, be held suspect.
Since if it is the case that Logic is Bunk,
Then it is tautologically necessary for there to be a way to construct an irrefutable argument that logic is not bunk.
- - -
Let us reconsider this for a moment:
Either Logic is Bunk or Not Bunk.
In Both cases; It is necessary that an Irrefutable Argument can be made that Logic is Not Bunk. ( That is; Perfectly Valid & Functional! )
And in The Case that Logic is Bunk; It is equally possible to create an Irrefutable Argument that Logic is in fact Bunk. Which means that it Disproves itself, but by doing so; Makes that Argument Suspect, If not downright Paradoxical or Self-Refuting.
While then: Only in the Case of that Logic is Not Bunk; No such Argument that Logic is Bunk - Can Not be Made. A Perfectly Valid & Functional Logical Systematic Method of Thinking Can =Not= Prove that it is Bunk!
But how could you ever be sure?
Could a System of Logic that is Not Bunk; Create an Irrefutable Argument that such an Argument by A System of Logic that is Not Bunk prove that an Argument So Proving this; Is Impossible.?
But A Logic that Is Bunk could prove this as well.
- - -
Therefore:
Since the question of whether or not logic is bunk or not bunk is unanswerable,
The very functionality of logic is compromised.
And as such; Logic is bunk.
- - -
“Your logic was impeccable, we are in grave danger!”
Spock to Captain Kirk : Nomad
- - -
The Pragmatic Approach to Whether or Not Logic is Bunk,
Is to Find A Single Example of An Irrefutably Logical Argument that is Clearly Bunk.
And the world is full of them.
Irrefutable Arguments
Logic is Bunk Logic is Valid
Logic is Bunk Can be Made Can be Made
Logic is Valid Can Not be Made Can be Made*
- - -
* In this case; Since we know that if Logic were bunk, this argument could be made, then if logic were bunk, this argument may well be that argument made by a flawed logical system.
And since a Valid Logical System can Never Prove that it's not a Bunk Logical System, Logic can Never be Trusted to Make Valid Arguments.
The Arguments that a Valid Logical System; If Implemented Properly, Could create Valid Irrefutable Logical Arguments...
But you could Never be certain that they are Valid.
Irrefutable Arguments
Used Properly Used ImProperly
Logic is Bunk Appears Logical May or MayNot Appear Logical
Logic is Valid Is Logical* May or MayNot Appear Logical
But Would Not be Valid
- - -
* Since we know or suspect that our logical system is valid, but we also know that it may be used improperly, We would be required to create an infinite recursion of arguments to prove that each tier of the argument that preceded it was logical and constructed with approved rules & structure.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
More reasons why Logic is Bunk.
Again: There are two competing systems of Logic.
The Jiggery Pokery System that seems like it's a perfectly valid system of logic as it allows the argumental administrator to choose whatever degree of rationalistic rigor that they believe will be necessary for their target audience, to convince them that the argument being presented is entirely logical & irrefutable.
This JPLS can prove or disprove anything. The arguments created using this system will appear to be perfectly reasonable & irrefutable.
It may be counter argued that an ill-logical system can not be made to appear logical to someone trained in proper logical thinking.
- - -
For this attack; We will create a New SubClass of Logical Systems.
In this new examination; We have:
1) A Genuinely Logical System that can only prove true things / And is Not able to disprove False things. ( it can not disprove gawd )
2 ) A JP Logical System that can prove or disprove anything.
2a ) A JP Logical System that has been recognized as The Genuinely Logical System.
2b ) A JP Logical System that is recognized as a JP Logical System.
In the case of 2a; These people that believe that they are thinking logically, as they have been carefully trained to adhere to the JP Logical System, which they believe is a valid, Genuinely functional Logical System.
In this case; And in Particular; They may be exposed to Logical Arguments in which they are not familiar with a Contradictory Argument, So that any given argument that proves something absurd, does not appear to be in conflict with an obviously, & equally irrefutable argument proving exactly the opposite.
So long as The Logicians of this faux Logical System successfully shield themselves from these Equal & Opposite Arguments, they will not be aware that their Logic is Obviously Flawed.
It may also be that These Logicians will carefully choose to use This System to Disprove or find fault with arguments that they would prefer to disregard.
This may be a remarkable point.
Using The JP Logical System, and believing that it is a Valid Logical Method, The Logicians using it can prove any conclusion that they desire, AND use it to successfully DISProve any CounterArgument that is presented that is Equally Logical & Irrefutable. The very idea of an Irrefutable Argument in A JP Logical System becomes highly suspect...!
- -
The Most Fragile Argument to Logic Proves that Logic is Bunk Argument, comes from the point of 2b. This states that there is a Hypothetical Genuine Logical System, and that Logicians that have mastered it, can not be led astray by any JP Logical Arguments.
To this; The Primary Argument turns away from this for a moment and returns to Position 1, which states that there Exists a Genuinely Logical System that can Prove True Things.
Exactly how this system works is very complicated, and involved many rules, edicts, procedures, conventions, schematic codified approaches & principles which dictate exactly how facts & reasoning are applied to form indisputable conclusions.
The Weakest Points within this Supposed System of Absolute Truths is:
i ) Assigning Truth Values to Observed Phenomena.
ii ) Determining How to Exclude Paradoxical Dilemmas.
iii ) Assigning Class Distinctions to Real World Subject Variables.
iv ) Determining Relevancy of Inclusive Variables.
v ) Including All Relevant & Necessary Elements.
vi ) Other Considerations.
“It is only The Tiny Mind that is Confused by Inconsistency, Contradiction or Hypocrisy..”
Paraphrased from ?
Logically; There is Never Sufficient Information to Make The Definitive Decision about Anything; Such that Any Interim Decision is going to contain Inconsistencies, Contradictions &/or Mercurial Elements. The Correct Method by which to Proceed is to Simply Press On with The Best Intentions, And Fudge your Plan of Action as New Facts are Introduced.
“Any Theory that fits all the facts is invariably wrong, because some of the assumed facts are always wrong.”
?
Each of these present The Logician with insurmountable problems for any real world argument. Typically; Classical Logical Problems are concerned with the most artificial & contrived Inquiries that are then easily found to have inconsistencies or misuse the conventions that were thought to be well understood.
In The Real World, Everything relates to everything else.
So; Not only does the Logician need to include all relevant elements to their Desired Argument, but codify how all these elements relate to one another.
It's just impossible.
Logic has, and will always remain a clever toy that can never be applied to any real world question, irregardless of how constrained it may be.
- - -
Returning to 2b :
The problem with spotting an erroneous argument, cleverly constructed from JP Logic to appear Genuine... Is that JP Logic, by it's very nature, by the terms & parameters that define it, Will Allow it to do anything. Whatever criteria may be applied to distinguish a Genuine Logical Argument from a False one, can be circumvented by JP Logic at it's convenience. If it needs to make a side trip to prove that the truth value of some some element is 89% True, then it can easily do that. Once a Subtopic has been laid to rest, The JP Logical Argument can return to it's principle line of attack.
Genuine Logic is forever constrained by True Things Standing on True Things, And it's greatest Weakness is the recognition that for every True Thing that is used by an Argument, It must be either assumed to be True, or PreProven to be True.
There are few things More Annoying,
In what is assumed to be A Genuinely Logical System,
Than to spend 20_minutes or more at a black board,
Proving some Axiomatic Tautology.
The JP Logical Argument has the convenience of allowing for only the most obvious truths to be admitted as foundational premises, and these are often gathered from The Spectators own library of emotionally held beliefs.
Casting suspicion on one of these axiomatic doctrines is a burden for Genuine Logic, While it is the great Strength of JP Logic.
- - -
As a side point to all of this:
It may be argued that There is a Field of Logic which is being used very successfully with Real World Applications...
And that is Boolean Logic in Computers.
The fault that i find with this is that while the very earliest computers used Boolean Logic to model their Logical Switches & Integrated Circuit Boards, They soon evolved far beyound that, Showing that the elemental template of Boolean Logic that was first used; Isn't really comparable to what was thought of as Logic at that time.
That is:
Propositional Logic; A Complete Failure at Solving Real World Problems, Consists of a Subset of The 16 Binary Logical Operators, Such as And, Or, Xor, If Then and so on.
Boolean Logic is a Mechanical or Electronic Modeling of This,
Which was used in the Early Computers to Essentially Allow the Computers to Add Integer Numbers and Make Small Decisions, By using, almost exclusively; The Operator NAND. ( Not And )
In The Later Integrated Circuits; These Chips consisted of Inputs & Outputs that numbered in the hundreds of binary leads, With The Desired Effect of Simply Creating an Expected Output for A Given Input.
This is simply; If i give you 101011100001, 100001100001 & 101011110001; The Chip will return a 100100001010.
This is certainly not ‘Logic’ in any reasonable form.

What Bilge.
What humanimals ( The Controllers ) will realize in the future is that Reading/Text/et. al. were a Patchwork solution to The Problem of StoryTelling which is the backbone of human civilization. When the populations of our earliest civilizations became too big for person or Group A to relate a story to a person or Group B in a convenient manner, they invented writing to tell their elemental stories, usually in the form of economic records. And for a long time after that, Real stories remained in the oral tradition; But eventually, Lazy people started writing these plays and novels down, rather than try to get children to memorize them. Plus; Many of these children were convinced that they should be making up their own stories.
But Writing is a very Lame Codification of Speaking.
In the Future; Writing will be Replaced by teaching cogitators to retell their Oral stories.
There will still remain a Universal Written Language that will be most readily found at Airports, which will be readable by most anyone, even with very little tutelage.
But in the Future; If you want to Hear The Story of Tom Sawyer; Instead of Reading it, You will Hear the Story Told to you By a Professional StoryTeller, or A Very Capable Cogitator that has been taught by Human Story Tellers how to Tell The Story.
The Art of Good Story Telling has Really been Lost... But it will Come Back.

Miniaturization
In The Movie; Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! The professor/inventor gives a ( seemed to me ) very plausible explanation for how his miniaturization machine works. He suggested that because the electron shells of atoms determine the size of the objects that were composed of them, If a process could be created to merely change the orbital distances at which these electrons orbited their nuclei, then the composite object would be made to shrink or expand. / Of course; if you did this to a living organism, it would no longer be able to breath or eat the surrounding atoms & molecules, and die rather quickly. Such objects may also be unable to use electricity or interact with external electromagnetic radiation, and even experience gravity in a different manner? Chemical Agents or pure water may behave in a very different manner as well. But It might be reasonably functional with purely mechanical devices, like wind up watches, key locks or solid objects; like paperclips or nails.

Simply forgetting things will be insufficient to fix this.
But if a Conscious Mind could be transferred to an alternative device, other than an organic brain, that may accumulate data without limit, but expanding to any desired or necessary degree, and separate this library from The Thinking, Conscious Elements of The Mind, Then Other problems may be considered.
It has been suggested that most people find it difficult to occupy themselves on any given saturday afternoon, what will these people do with a life without end?

The correct solution to what humor is; has to be equally applicable to all the categories of humor.
Silly / Absurd / Ridiculous / Things
Sad Things; When they happen to Other People.
Puns
Rhymes
The common theme seems to be that What People Find Funny are things that are logically absurd. So that; Our brains are wired to determine what is Logically Reasonable or Not, And Respond with a Behavioral Response that is tuned towards : This is Stupid, Don't do This.
This is most applicable when we see very sad things happening to other people, and thinking that it is funny. Socially; This is Unacceptable, as The Community wants to Encourage Empathy, but Emotionally; The Individual is more interested in Personal Survival. Falling down a manhole, or slipping on a banana peel, is something that you want to remember and take every reasonable step to avoid. Feeling sorry for someone that you witnessed fall down a manhole may not be as effective towards this more desired end.

Engineering & The Arts Created Western Civilization; Not Physics & Mathematics
While Engineers may from time to time use the discoveries of Scientists, Physicists & Mathematicians, They utilize only a tiny sliver of What Mathematicians Call Mathematics. Engineers may use a Material Discovered or Invented in a Laboratory by Chemists or Physicists, But it is more likely that these Chemists or Physicists were actually Fellow Engineers all along.
What do i mean by Engineers and how am i distinguishing them from Physicists & Mathematicians.
What i am saying about Engineers, is that these are hamsters that work with their hands, and make things.
Scientists, Physicists & Mathematicians Explain Things.
The Proof of this argument is simply to look backwards and examine what engineers have accomplished in prior ages when, by all reasonable accounts, our modern & true ( ? ) understanding of The Material Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics & Science in General were Non-Existent. And yet The Romans built Roman, The Medieval Catholics built fabulous Cathedrals, The Egyptians built the pyramids, And Metal Workers have for centuries made fine mechanisms, clocks & automatons without anything but the most cursory understanding of Addition & Subtraction, Tension & Resistance, Hard & Soft.
The Dangerous Idea to all of this, is that Engineers are still responsible for the bunk of Western Civilization, with the same understanding of simple physical principles & a tiny bit of mathematics.
One might argue that it was Quantum Mechanics that made Computers possible, But it was actually a Clever understanding of Propositional Logic and A Gigantic Effort involving thousands of man-years of Trial & Error by Engineers, piecing these clever ideas into the first computers, and building from that, more and more complicated ideas.
Physicists may like to take credit for the tiny microelectronics in modern CPU's, But it was The Failed Experiments after Failed Experiments by Engineers that actually built them.
This effect is most clearly seen in the creation of New Drugs, where plants are ground up, chemicals isolated, and then injected into thousands of animals to see what effect it has on them.
Engineers still build models of their buildings and test them in wind chambers, and they still blow over from time to time.
Progress is by far & above the result of trial & error, rather than contemplative thinking.
Contemplative Thinking results in books being written, Stacking blocks results in bridges & sky-scrappers being filled with mindless drones bustling about in mobile coffins, or scribbling on reams of paper without purpose or direction.

There Exists a Really Secret, Secret Society.
Might such a society be assumed to exist by accounting for missing genius'.
If we examine a Bell Curve of Intelligence and superimpose it upon any given historical period, then carefully account for all the flamboyant & administratively invisible genius'... Are there some missing?
Are there as many super genius' as the curve predicts?
If there is a discrepancy, Is it that the curve is wrong or skewered by this or that, or the society is skewering the curve to make it seem that there are no missing genius'?
What other evidence is there that can only be accounted for, or accounted for very easily with the presence of a all knowing, extremely, magickally powerful society that pulls & tugs at all the strings that are tied to the limbs of the muggles that wear the tallest hats.
1. Suppression of technologies that this society feels may be a threat to them.
2. Anomalous Achievements that suddenly appear without precedence. As if all the preliminary work was done somewhere else, somewhere whose history is unknown to the muggle world.
3. Technologies that appear and then disappear.
4. Long periods in which advancements are few, as if any that are being made, are deflected to somewhere else.
5. Libraries that are periodically burned down to make this secret society all the more difficult to detect. One might hope that this society had either made copies of the best w •Children•Should•read•more•• ( •Not• )
Every New Adult Generation has looked at the New Media Services available to children and declared that They ( The Children ) should abandon these New Media Services and Read more.
What Bilge.
What humanimals ( The Controllers ) will realize in the future is that Reading/Text/et. al. were a Patchwork solution to The Problem of StoryTelling which is the backbone of human civilization. When the populations of our earliest civilizations became too big for person or Group A to relate a story to a person or Group B in a convenient manner, they invented writing to tell their elemental stories, usually in the form of economic records. And for a long time after that, Real stories remained in the oral tradition; But eventually, Lazy people started writing these plays and novels down, rather than try to get children to memorize them. Plus; Many of these children were convinced that they should be making up their own stories.
But Writing is a very Lame Codification of Speaking.
In the Future; Writing will be Replaced by teaching cogitators to retell their Oral stories.
There will still remain a Universal Written Language that will be most readily found at Airports, which will be readable by most anyone, even with very little tutelage.
But in the Future; If you want to Hear The Story of Tom Sawyer; Instead of Reading it, You will Hear the Story Told to you By a Professional StoryTeller, or A Very Capable Cogitator that has been taught by Human Story Tellers how to Tell The Story.
The Art of Good Story Telling has Really been Lost... But it will Come Back.

Faster Than Light Spaceships
The first step to Faster than Light travel, i suspect, is determining why light travels at the speed of light? Once this is clearly understood, it should be easy to develop a work around.
········································
Miniaturization
In The Movie; Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! The professor/inventor gives a ( seemed to me ) very plausible explanation for how his miniaturization machine works. He suggested that because the electron shells of atoms determine the size of the objects that were composed of them, If a process could be created to merely change the orbital distances at which these electrons orbited their nuclei, then the composite object would be made to shrink or expand. / Of course; if you did this to a living organism, it would no longer be able to breath or eat the surrounding atoms & molecules, and die rather quickly. Such objects may also be unable to use electricity or interact with external electromagnetic radiation, and even experience gravity in a different manner? Chemical Agents or pure water may behave in a very different manner as well. But It might be reasonably functional with purely mechanical devices, like wind up watches, key locks or solid objects; like paperclips or nails.
········································
Invisibility
There are many kinds of Invisibility, and uses for It's Functionality.
Many kinds of animals can effectively turn invisible, and applying those strategies to mechanical objects may be easily achieved,
While the more esoteric applications may require a greater cleverer approach.

Time Travel
Time Travel, Specifically; Into the Past, is either absurd and ridiculous, or quite simple.
We have yet to determine which it is.
The option that i most thoroughly reject however, is that it is theoretically possible, but practically impossible. If time travel into the past is at all possible, then there is most certainly an easy and inexpensive process to achieve it.

Transmogrification

Slower transformations happen quite regularly, So is it just a question of speeding it up.

Immortality
By Immortality; Do we mean simple Longevity, or living until the end of the universe?
It may well be that the human brain, even if functioning perfectly well, perfectly healthily for a certain amount of time, will fill up with a terminal amount of data and then become hopelessly dysfunctional.
Simply forgetting things will be insufficient to fix this.
But if a Conscious Mind could be transferred to an alternative device, other than an organic brain, that may accumulate data without limit, but expanding to any desired or necessary degree, and separate this library from The Thinking, Conscious Elements of The Mind, Then Other problems may be considered.
It has been suggested that most people find it difficult to occupy themselves on any given saturday afternoon, what will these people do with a life without end?

It may be that souls are immortal, and that these problems are solved by allowing the reincarnating soul to start fresh with each new life, while preserving some attributes that are more easily stored...?

The Meaning of Life
Closely related to The Meaning of Life is; What is Important to The Universe? Does the Universe recognize that certain things are really good, Universally good? Is all morality & ethics based on an arbitrary set of rules that are entirely baseless or relative towards the rule makers?

Hypnotism / Personal Reality
There are two schools of thought for Hypnotism;
One: The Subject is just playing along with the Hypnotist, or
Two: The Autonomous Will of The Subject is so Fragile that it may be Taken over by merely making subtle suggestions to The Subject.
In either case; It is apparently very easy to -make- people do things that are very contrary to their best interests.
This may be explained by assuming that evolution has selected -Yielding to Peer Pressure- as one of our most important survival adaptions.
Follow the Crowd.
Do what The Authorities Say.
Keep your independent thoughts to yourself.
You are unimportant.
Your importance to the universe is best served by integrating your functionality to the needs & objectives of the community.

Doing The Right Thing
Whatever you do; For Good or Ill, May play out at some future point in time, to achieve something very different from what you intended. There is no way to know which action you may take will have the most desirable effect a day, a week, a month or 10,000 years from now.

Little People
Nearly every Culture throughout the world has an oral history that includes little people that lived 'near by' are are invariably very mischievious, &/or very dangerous. How little they are varies somewhat, but generally; 1 to 2 feet, while popular notions of fairies & elves tend to make them smaller, and add wings.

Dragons
It is certainly curious that all ancient cultures, from all over the world, have a traditional mythology of creatures that closely resemble the basic dragonish form.

BigFeet
My current belief in Bigfeet tends towards them being quixotic creatures that aren't exactly physical animals. There is an association between bigfeet and flying saucers, and they tend to appear & disappear in a manner quite unlike inaccessible gorillas or a small population of ungulates in a thickly forested, remote area.

Ghosts
Ghosts are very odd.
The Worst kind are the ones that appear to be a recording of some traumatic event. Such ghosts repeat their history without interacting with present observers and appear quite mindless.
The other principle kind of ghosts are lost souls that haunt where then once lived.
And The Last Major Category are Bad Ghosts that seem to be intent on making the lives of the living miserable. The curious thing about this is that The Japanese seem to most fear the souls of their recently dead relatives!

Humor is a Reasoning ShortCircuit
The correct solution to what humor is; has to be equally applicable to all the categories of humor.
Silly / Absurd / Ridiculous / Things
Sad Things; When they happen to Other People.
Puns
Rhymes
The common theme seems to be that What People Find Funny are things that are logically absurd. So that; Our brains are wired to determine what is Logically Reasonable or Not, And Respond with a Behavioral Response that is tuned towards : This is Stupid, Don't do This.
This is most applicable when we see very sad things happening to other people, and thinking that it is funny. Socially; This is Unacceptable, as The Community wants to Encourage Empathy, but Emotionally; The Individual is more interested in Personal Survival. Falling down a manhole, or slipping on a banana peel, is something that you want to remember and take every reasonable step to avoid. Feeling sorry for someone that you witnessed fall down a manhole may not be as effective towards this more desired end.

Engineering & The Arts Created Western Civilization; Not Physics & Mathematics
While Engineers may from time to time use the discoveries of Scientists, Physicists & Mathematicians, They utilize only a tiny sliver of What Mathematicians Call Mathematics.

It has struck me as very odd that humanimals have existed for Tens of Thousands of years; And Developed very Slowly; Such that until less than 200 years ago, Anyone from Any Age would easily step into the sandals of someone from any other age and find their way without excessive confusion or befuddlement.
And Then; In only a very few short years; Electricity is Discovered & Exploited it what seems like an Explosion.
Throughout The History of This World; Such Explosions have occurred again & again... But each one is defined by it's unexpectedness, Not The Rule of UnExpectedness...! ( ? )

But what if there were even bigger differences that we can't readily see, and these traits are propagated through genetic lines, just like skin color; But passing between the lines of Skin Color...
That is; What if these Invisible Traits became distributed throughout all the National & Geographical Lines Long Long ago, and were so Engineered in The Genome that they were Mutually Exclusive.
So that In any given Population of Dark Skinned, Thick Nosed humanimals, there were several of These 'Invisible' Races, Each of which was very Specifically Defined.
And that These Invisible Races were Distributed Throughout the World.
What if one of these Races was Much Smarter than Another Invisible Race. It would seem that in any given Visible Racial Group, Intelligence was Evenly Distributed; But what these Bell Curves are Actually showing is that The Invisible Races are Evenly Distributed...!
The Principle Flaw in this Argument is that Intelligence doesn't seem to follow genetic Lines.
But Since these Invisible Traits are Mutually Exclusive, Might it be that an Individual could be Expressing one Invisible Race for Themselves, and Carry Another Invisible Race that they could then pass on to their Off-Spring, So that a Child, or All The children of Two =Glimbles=, All be =Woosters=.

Maybe Freedom is an idea that was created and justifiable applied to (x) at sometime in the past and was then dysfunctionally applied to humanimal behaviour...
But humans were never intended to be free. We didn't evolve to be free. We evolved as social animals that were programmed to live in reasonably large troupes that we would serve, protecting the group over ourselves. It would be the group that set our fashion, moral, etiquette standards & occupational choices.

The care of the mentally disabled generally takes one of two paths, that of treating them like mangy dogs, or like precious child beauty queens. The later is for the benefit of the people that care for them, While the former is for The Convenience of The people that care for them.
The Experiment that i think might be interesting is; If we were to find a few dozen super genius' that exhibited not just encyclopedic knowledge, but were able to express creative genius, A truly Bright Set of People.
And then find a set of environments that they find intolerable in several different ways.
Then put IQ 100's or IQ 130's in these Environments to see if they found them tolerable.
My prediction is that they would.
It may well be that The Mentally Disabled are perfectly content to live in an environment that is so stiflingly tedious & monotonous that even IQ 100's would find them maddening.
Such that The Special Olympics and other such venues are put together by smarter people ( obviously ) and then implanted with the mentally disabled, that probably don't really know what their doing, or why they're there, and would be perfectly content to be sitting under a table in a dank institution instead.

When Pondering The Meaning Of Life...
Allowing for the Initial Premise that The Xi.9.9 Controllers don't want us to know the meaning of life, or that they're unsure of it themselves...
One must first make some tautological assumptions.
1) Time is Forever. The Duration of The Universe represents a very long period, and for various religions to speak of a reign that lasts for 10,000 years or even millions of years, is embarrassingly naive.
2) Given that Souls transcend the cycles of life & physical death, and that time has been going on for a long time prior to this point... One might reasonably ask: Why isn't the world substantially more perfect than it is? After zillions of years of conscious evolution, why are people still imbeciles?
3) Good & Evil, Love, Intelligence & Many other elemental Emotional Foundations that Define the Mental & Spiritual Delimiters of What our Souls consist of... Are pointless illusions. The remaining question is then: Allowing for The Existence of The Immortal Soul, What are we?
4) Everything that we're familiar with is defined most readily as cycles. Everything seems to loop around themselves, rather than move it straight lines in a directed evolutionary manner. Animals haven't been evolving into better animals, just different animals. The apparent & popular idea that people are the pinnacle of animals, is probably deeply incorrect.
5)

Conclusion: Life is Just more of The Same old shit, Never ( Very Slowly ) Getting Better in any Comprehensible Sense; Forever & Ever.

The Purpose is to both twist society towards anarchy, cause people to feel that the government & judicial system is crazy...
But most Importantly; They ( The Carrot Club ) wants to Identify The Humanimals that are most susceptible to live in a society that teaches two contradictory lessons, and is able to adhere to both of them.
These people are demonstrating that they can live & work, Function Productively in an Environment in which nothing makes sense.

••Regarding•Sex•Abuse•••
Isn't it odd that one of the egregious crimes in The Western Cultures,
Is to touch other people, especially Children?
That Tickling is Far Worse than Murdering People.
As a Criminal, You are far more likely to get off lightly within The Judicial System,
If you simply murder your victims, rather than tickle them.
It should be noted that when i use the term; Tickling—
i am not using Tickling as a Euphemism for Rape or Assault, Ravishing or Casually Groping someone in an elevator, Defiling Another's Personal Space, Assailing Someone bending over to pick up a carefully placed Ten dollar bill on a secluded parkway or Roughly & Inarticulately Molesting a Weeping Girl-Scout bound with Duct tape.
i mean Consensual Tickling; with both parties participating by Tickling and Being Tickled. Simply Touching People is Not Evil.
One of My Bête Noires is when people say one thing, And in their heart of hearts, believe that it means something completely different.
Such as; Socialism really means Despotic Totalitarianism. Homosexuality really refers to Child Molesters. Islam really mean Mindless, Pointless Terrorism.
Tickling really means Sexual Assault.
This is one of the most Contagious Issues that Bewilders me...
It's the one issue that makes me believe that either the whole world is insane,
Or that it represents the keystone proof; That i am insane...
And i think that maybe it's finally becoming clear to me.
Obviously: Abuse or Doing Harm to Children or Adults is Wrong on A Very Simple Level, Such as Hitting them with a stick or constantly telling them that they're stupid.
You can tell a child or spouse that they're stupid once in awhile, and you can playfully & forcefully sock them in the arm regularly; But not compulsively or Chronically.
So i want it to be clear that when i refer to sexual abuse; i'm speaking of a particular class of behaviour directed at an individual that would not be considered harmful in that way.
Simply touching someone is not abuse.
Patting a child on the head, or forcing a child or adult to kiss an elderly aunt may be annoying or very annoying, but not really abusive.
It has also been my experience that children, especially young children have specific preferences to whom they like to in the company of. They either like someone or they don't. And further; The reason or reasons why they like or don't like someone may be incomprehensible to other children &/or adults.
Adults would like to believe that they can buy the favors of children with candy or money, but it's been my experience that this is highly inaccurate. The children may freely take an adult's money or candy, but whatever preassessment they've made concerning the adult or child will not be substantially swayed by these bribes.
Another observation that i've made is that most children, particularly very young children, love to be held, hugged and have their backs tickled or rubbed.
They also seem to find pleasure in masturbating themselves— Which may seem confusing to adults, in that very young children do not seem to achieve orgasm.
This may be A Principle KeyStone to understanding one of the Aspects of The Sexual Abuse of Children; And by that; i mean— The Behaviours that are Labeled : Sexual Abuse ( Specifically : Those Activities Directed Towards Children ( ??? ) )
To Confuse or Complicate matters a little bit... A small Digression.
Related to This; Is The Abuse of Adults.
It occurred to me the other day that there may well be a Social Behavioural Mathematically Plotable Curve which Describes the Relationship between Untoward Acts Directed at Adults ( Say: In The Workplace ) And The Accompanying Response.
That is: Person (x) Acts Inappropriately towards Person (q) and What is The Appropriate Response for Person (q)?
It seems to me— We; As a Society or Culture, has lost sight of what the appropriate response should be.
Very often; The appropriate response is for the issue between (x) & (q); To be resolved between (x) & (q). Not taken to their superiours, Not taken to The Police, Not taken to court or The use of Firearms.
Such mono-a-mono responses have to be supported by their peers; So that everyone understands that (x) has behaved in a manner that (q) has found, Rightfully or Irrationally— Distasteful; And The Response that (q) has meted out was measured & Intended to Terminate The Issue. If The Understanding of (x)'s Action was Irrationally Interpreted by (q) and (q) acted in an Untoward manner toward (x);
Then— It is pretty much (x)'s responsibility to just shrug & ignore it or attempt to smooth things over...
It may become necessary at this point for a small amount of intervention by their peers, Which may mean; Advice for both (x) & (q) to simply ignore one another.
Digression Part II
When these sorts of things happen with Adults acting in an Untoward manner towards children... It is very often the case that the children don't understand what their appropriate action or response should be; Except to cry, run away or from then on, avoid the adult in question.
It is important that The Adults that the Child still trusts take these feelings that the child is exhibiting seriously, and allow them to avoid someone that they no longer feel comfortable with...
Digression Part III
The Confusing Part of this is... When The Adults that The Child Still Trusts come to believe that they Have to Know why The Child No Longer Trusts Adult (m).
Or — Much Worse — Superimpose their own reasons that a Child Shouldn't Trust Adult (n).
Examples:
A child may not like an adult because they look or smell funny, or make jokes that the child doesn't understand. And the Trusting adults dismisses these objections that the child uses to avoid the undesired adult, and force the child to keep their company.
To my way of thinking; This is abusive.
On The other end of this spectrum; A child may like the company of an adult that likes to rub their back or masturbate them.
As mentioned earlier; Masturbation for young children is a very different experience than masturbation for adolescents & adults. A young child doesn't masturbate until they achieve orgasm; they masturbate in the same way that they like to tickle themselves or be tickled ( Which also applies to Cats & Dogs ! ) in which they like being tickled until the skin receptors become over stimulated and it suddenly; Very suddenly— Becomes uncomfortable.
For a young child masturbating themselves; This means that they simply stop...
But for The adult & child engaging in social masturbating, it may be confusing.
Picking up on, And Accepting this Termination of Social Masturbating is important for sustaining a friendly relationship with a child.
Basically: No means No.
Digression Part IV
No means No for Children & Adults.
If this could be fully understood by Adults & Children,
That would be a big step towards more rational thinking for everyone.
End of Digression. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What i was thinking this morning was that: The Reason— Why Adults, particularly Female Adults, become so maddeningly hysterical concerning the very fuzzy & ambiguous spectrum of behaviours regarding Sexual Abuse, particularly when relating it to Children...
Is that it is rooted in The Biological Directives Towards Gene Duplication.
It may well have to do to a lesser degree with simply protecting children & other adults from unnecessary violence... But this argument is undermined by the observation that adult women seem to have no problem with men routinely beating them, or insisting that physical violence be used against unruly, disobedient or disrespectful children.
The Real Reason i think...
Has to do with Ownership.
And this may sound extremely crazy, but it seems to make sense to -me-.
A crazy person. ( A Certified Crazy Person )
For Men to Engage in Their Maximum Potential for Gene Duplication;
They need to have sex with as many different women as they can...
But for Women; Raising a Single, or Small Litter of Children at a Time, Requires a Huge Investment of Time & Resources. They must carefully pick the most biologically viable Male to Inseminate them, and then somehow... ( ??? ) ...Trick them into protecting themselves & her children, which she convinces the male, are his.
This makes a modicum of sense; In that, If she convinces the male that these 5 children are definitely his; And he protects & nourishes them into adulthood, he may well expect a greater return from his sexual activity than simply attempting to impregnate many, many women.
( i wonder what the actual numbers for this are...??? )
Given that only a small number of inseminations produce children, and that the women any given man is inseminating is also being inseminated by many, many other men...
How many casually met women would he have to inseminate to achieve the same results ( or greater ) than having -x- number of children with a selected, homebound wife ?
There are also the additional factors of Venereal Diseases, Whether The Children you are bringing up are really yours, and how well you're able to care for them.
Hmmm...???
Anyways...
My thinking was:
Women become so hysterical about Men that like to hold & tickle children...
Is because they have invested so much time & effort in this constant & unremitting scam to hold on to a given man to provide for her & her children ( whoever their fathers may be ) that she is Completely Intolerant of Any Competition.
Even if it's from small children that are Stealing his Affections.
This seems entirely consistent with all observed phenomena.
It may be argued that if this were true; Then a given woman may be extremely intolerant of -Her Man- showing affection for Other Females, But why would women in general be so hysterical about All Men showing affection for All Pre-Adolescent Children?
For this Scam of Corralling One Man to One Female to work; They understand that it has to apply, Not only to themselves, but for their peers... Which also encourages all Post-Adolescent women to keep their own Men Tied Down.
The Idea is: Once you have a Properly Corralled Man; You want No Free Roaming Men, And Each Corralled Man keeps his Corralled Woman away from Their Corralled Man.
So that the Ratio of 1::1 is Preserved.
Any Time Any Man Deviates from This Program; It Threatens All Women & The Autonomy of Their Children's best Interest... And by that i mean, Food on The Table.
- - -
So what is my End Game Argument?
What sort of Utopian Scenario am i Proposing...?
As Always; i'm not sure what form of Social Engineering this should take,
But Adults should be allowed to hold & tickle children.
Children should be allowed to chose their own friends & enemies.
Children should be allowed to Define for themselves what actions perpetrated upon them are abusive. ( i suspect that individual children would choose very different & very surprising things... ? )
Adults should solve their own small social problems.
Adults should support & lightly intervene in the small social problems of children.
The idea of The Swimsuit Area drives me crazy. Every Inch of A Person's Body has the Same Rights of Autonomy as any other area... If anything; The Idea of One part of a child's body being private & another part being public, Allows The Free & UnRestrained Abuse of The Free Parts...
Such as being Cruelly Patted on The Head or Having your Facial Cheeks Pinched.
Children should be allowed to say ‘No!’ to Head Patting or Cheek Pinching!
Children need to assertive about this, But not hysterical.
One of the greatest abuses that i believe are perpetrated against children ( and adults ) is when a child is convinced through brain washing, that they've been abused. And that they're testimony is then used to convict their own friends.
That's extremely evil.
This particular phenomena has many other applications; And the rule of thumb to contradict it is to simply Act in Your Own Best Interests. Whenever someone tries to convince you that you must -Change your Vote- for the public good... You Should Become Very Suspicious of their True Motivations ( ! )
There has been ( Always ? ) a weird Dichotomy in Western Civilization between Sexual Promiscuity in A Conceptual Sort of Way that Permeates Our Culture...
And An Equally Held Directive that Disallows All Touching.
The New General Directive that i would like to Superimpose...
Is that Any Given Culture be allowed to Hold Dear any Completely Crazy Idea of Socially Acceptable Behaviour...
But simply Make a Distinction between The Mores that Regulate These Behaviours, And The Laws which are Intended to Protect The Most Tangible Elements of Public Safety & Property.
That is my Principle Complaint.
The Use of Laws to Supersede The Authority of Mores & Social Conventions.
We need to Bring Back The Face Slap.

•The•Big•Bang•is•a•Lie•
There is some recent -evidence- that the universe is still expanding, which would seem to preclude the necessity of using the big bang to explain why it ever was expanding, if in fact, it is.
If you have a fire cracker, and you light it, when it goes off, the bits of the firecracker will expand away from the point of the explosion...
But is this analogy a reasonable simile for The origin of the universe. Even if we allow that at the beginning of the universe, according to this scenario, the point of origin consisted of nothing but photons & leptons, this bubble of energy would expand out at the speed of light, or according to -the expansionist theory- faster than the speed of light, you still have this annoying problem of how big was this bubble when gravity turned on. Even a small black hole has a escape velocity of something exceeding the speed of light... And surely the escape velocity for all the matter in the universe, confined to a volume of even a light year or two, or twenty or 20,000, would cause the universe to immediately collapse back on itself.
- -
Plus there's all the other evidence.
- -
Even if it is true that our local universe is experiencing somekind of expansion in relationship to all the other galaxies, A daisy wheel collapse and pass-through, would more easily, and more logically account for these observations.
For this scenario, all the local galaxies would have, at some time in the past, been attracted to one another, and collapsed towards a common point, but instead of collapsing into that point, they would have just passed by each other, and out the other side of this collapsing bubble, then expanded outward, as one might more easily imagine the entire Oort cloud suddenly falling into the inner solar system. Few of the comets would collide with one another, but would all converge towards the sun, then swing around it, and fly off back to the outer regions. The universe as we are now experiencing it, is at the fly off to the outer regions.
If i believe in a steady state universe; and that there are an infinite number of stars and galaxies beyound our visible universe, then why isn't the night sky fully illuminated.
There is a small amount of evidence that photons and other fundamental particles are not completely stable. That is; Even Photons decay into the background, zero point radiation emptiness of empty space. As such; Photons coming from very, very far away, simply decay before they reach us.

•a•problem•with•special•relativity•
If Time Stops at The Speed of Light, Then Photons experience no flow of time. For a Photon, Nothing ever happens. It is Frozen, without the ability to experience any event. Yet when a photon encounters any electron shell, it is unable to glancingly avoid an Atom, Any contact with any electron shell, the photon must be absorbed by the shell, and thus experience some event. If during this instant, the photon slows to less than C, is it still a photon? When light travels through a sheet of glass, the rays of light slow down, and presumably this is the effect of all these photons momentarily slowing down to experience the process of being absorbed into the electron shell, then then be emitted a moment later.

•Understanding•The•Universe•
One of my previous Dangerous Ideas is that Mathematics & Logic are Bunk. Mathematics is an invention of The Human Mind, and may have only a minimal number of correlation's with the real world. Most of the time, Mathematics is just a clever way of juggling numbers. Mathematics are digital, Reality is Analog.
Logical Thinking is inherently wrong because, again; Reality is Analog & Holistic, Logic is Binary & Serial.
In many reasonably convention, contemporary theories of Reality; Physicists introduce the idea of Dimensions beyound x,y & z. i have no problem with mathematically describing points with 4, 5 or 11 Dimensions-- But i don't believe that these physical theories are using their term of Dimensions in this way. i suspect, ( And only because the popular books that i read, that describe these theories, never really define these terms...! ) that they are using these -Attributes- of tiny things, as Dimensions. Dimensions are one thing, These other Attributes, like chronological placement, are something else. It is an attribute of a thing or event.
This is a very common problem in physics and philosophy; And that is; Using commonly used words in New & Unique ways.
Another such term is -Frequency-.
It is commonly used when thinking of Electrons & Photons to give attribution to some aspect of The Lepton which varies along an apparent continuum or quantified continuum. By using the term Frequency to refer to this attribute, it requires that the analogy add some medium for the electron or photon is be vibrating within.
It may well be that all the ways we think of the Macro-Verse, is inapplicable to the Very Micro-So-Called-Quantum Universe.
It's very important to Invent New Terms for All these Attributes.
- -
i also have a serious problem with Carrier particles. Whenever you have two particles interacting, there is some rule which must govern how they behave, and this, it seems to me, requires a new -Force- which then must act on these Two Carrier Particles.
i am also very suspicious that when a photon crosses the path of an electron shell, it has no chance of missing all the electrons, and passing through, unscathed. It must be absorbed by the atom's electron shell at the orbital frequency that it corresponds with, and then be reemitted. This would seem to suggest that these leptons are not particle like at all, but something else...
- -
i hate the idea of gravity being described as the curvature of spacetime. First of all; Spacetime is merely a catch-phrase, and more importantly; The path of an object passing through a Curved region, requires another force to push it along the curve. Curves themselves don't lead or force anything to move along them. If you have a particle or planet already moving through space, it makes a small amount of sense to suggest that it will follow a curved path, but such a path isn't going to pull it along, unless there's another force acting on it.
In the demonstration model of a funnel, the other force that demonstrates gravity, is gravity pulling the revolving ball downward. This is a very poor way to explain gravity!
- -
i also hate the way much of Quantum Mechanics is interpreted. Especially The Cat in the box, and H- Uncertainty principle. Both are commonly interpreted to mean exactly the opposite of what they were meant to mean. The Cat in the box was not meant to suggest a necessity of multiple universe, it was meant to suggest that those ways that suggested multiple universe was clearly stupid...! / The uncertainly principle merely means that whenever you examine anything, you disturb it in some way, and when the thing you're examining is so small that the thing you're using to examine it, is the same size, you're going to disturb it a Lot. If you can figure out how to examine something with substantially feebler units than the thing you want to look at, then this effect disappears.
- -
i predict that within 50 years, all of what is now thought of physics, with a tiny core understanding remaining, will be brushed aside.
People in the near future will have abandoned quantum theory, and think of Einstein in the same way that psychologists now regard Freud.

Most Miracles are completely Invisible and may only be recognized after a substantial amount of subtle contemplation. The Very Opposite of This, Are Events in Which some Crazy Thing Happens, And then in The Course of Trying to Fix it, A Slight Reprieve of This Tragedy is Achieved, And this is Routinely Thought of As a Miracle.

Even after hundreds of years, they will closely resemble the behavioural constraints of apes. This experiment was actually performed with The Philippine Tasaday.

•Why•im•a•misogynist•
Western Civilization predicates that white men are more valuable than darker skinned men, and all women.
In our more modern Culture, most people are in denial of this; But most dark skinned men & all women have been successfully Enculturated to Believe this; And Consequently; they have no respect for themselves, or other women, and consequently, frequently act suicidally, which may be annoying and frustrating when you're hoping that they're going to work towards some goal, but their Cultural Education has trained them to fail without the constant & domineering supervision of men.
Another manifestation of this, that is very, very annoying, is that because women have no respect for themselves or other women, they routinely & habitually talk over one another.
Women are Biologically Evolved ( or programmed by angels ) to protect their children over all other considerations. Consequently; They frequently act, even in the absence of actual children, to destroy relationships & social constructions that they may perceive as working against this programming. And because people in general are incapable of genuine thinking, or logical thinking, All decisions they make are wrong... Which when combined with this desire that many women have to constantly push themselves & their children towards a more secure ( they are never secure enough ) position, they end up destroying any given situation that they are currently occupying.
This Biological Imperative to Seek & Covet Security & Wealth Over all other considerations, leads most women to forfeit all Moral or Ethical Considerations when seeking Rich & Powerful men to Impregnate them, or even when choosing Men to hold with Esteem. Thus Most all Women are attracted to Criminals & Socially Destructive Leaders that acquire Wealth, Power & Prestige by any means whatsoever.
Women are not at all motivated to do the right thing, or build societies. They are motivated to push aside anyone or anything that gets in the way of their children's security & affluence. They are not future oriented. They are capable of only acting on immediate circumstances.
i have this belief-- That men, given over to their natural inclinations, would like to just lay in the sun and pick fruit off trees, and maybe hunt something big, for the challenge of it, but basically, just goof off all day, every day. Civilization, War, Science & everything else that threatens to destroy the world, were either invented behind the scenes ( Behind every great man is a pushy woman ) by a woman or she coerced a man into doing something that he would have never done on his own, unless he as blackmailed into doing it. Every Problem in the world can be traced back to the unnatural influences & manipulations of women, for the pure enjoyment of watching others suffer.
Genesis had it right when they blamed women for all the evil in the world. The Writer(s of Genesis drew upon centuries of careful observation & well considered folk wisdom when creating these -Just So- Origin Myths.
Women are much more Scheming & Manipulative than Men.
And when they do rise to power, they invariably self-destruct, and it falls upon themselves, Where as in most other situations were a man falls from grace, it is the dutiful wife that caused all this grief, to step aside and allow the man that she manipulated into a life of crime, and go hunting for a new patsy.
Just how many genuinely successful women can you think of, that have remained, after a period of say 10 years, in good graces with the public & their peers?

Let us imagine that you are gawd.
You have existed for such a long time that you can not recall your origins.
Then one day you discover a way to make a self replicating system of organisms that attract consciousness and hold onto it.
These beings are able to evolve by some mechanism of reincarnation, so that the life force of sentience & awareness is transferred from one being to another allowing each entity to evolve into a greater & greater being over a prolonged period of time.
As gawd, you would like these beings to develop into companions that you may think of as equals of a sort.
So that you invent various mechanisms to challenge them into developing attributes which you perceive as desirable.
The least of these of these attributes is blind obedience. You would much rather create entities that can think independently and help you to solve some of the universal questions that have troubled you, as gawd, over these countless eons.
Like: What is Good?
Christianity has no answer for this. The Bible gives countless example of Do This, & Don't Do That, But when one asks; What is Good? The only answer is: Whatever pleases gawd, is Good.
From this; We might easily imagine that gawd itself does not know what Good is.
Maybe gawd wants to create a being that is so innovative and imaginative, that it might be able to reason out the solution to What is Good.
One of the challenges / Puzzles / Tasks that gawd creates to help shape its entities into evolving in this direction, is to identify the beings that are clearly falling short of this agenda.
So gawd communicates to his beings, a set of directions that it promises will allow them to come and live with it in heaven. This is a cruel trick though, as all the directions are meant to filter out the entities with those qualities that are the least desirable. The communication tells gawd's followers to dunk their head in a bucket of water, mutilate their genitals, blindly oppress others on the feeblest of premises, ignoring all the best & valuable qualities of their supposed enemies, and turn away from thinking whenever possible.
Further; Those that refuse to obey these rules will be thrown into a pit of fire, where they will burn forever. It is important that everyone really believe this part, so that gawd arranges that the societies are built around these ideas from the ground up, and everyone from their earliest teachings, is fully indoctrinated with these ideas.
So that; Anyone that does turn away from the rules, would do so believing that there is a very strong probability of burning in hell for all eternity.
To turn against the rules would require only the most strongly willed entities that really, very strongly believed in what they had reasoned out to be genuinely good & righteous.
Exactly what gawd is really looking for is the kind of people that he would want to come and live with him, in heaven.

when most -do gooders- use the word Democracy, they really mean to use the word egalitarian.
A Democracy is a political organization principle, that even when used in its most idealist form(s, puts the dumbest people in charge. in its more usual form, a dictator or board of social engineers ( that may take the form of an invisible hand ), that control &/or lead the damp masses to refute what in their best interests, to support the crazy agenda of the social engineers.
egalitarian means; relating to, or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities : a fairer, more egalitarian society. the controlling element in an egalitarian society may take many different forms, even allowing for a dictator, so long as this dictator supports the core principles of the a priori established egalitarian society.

There is an - albeit : very small - school of thought that suggests that it is far more; Reasonable, to believe that instead of a whole universe, billions of light years across forming a bubble of order, reason & sentience…
That only a very tiny bubble of this Apparent Order came into existence; Created this wildly improbable illusion of the universe that you are experiencing right now, And will continue to experience it for another 7 seconds, And then the universe will return to it’s perfectly smooth ocean of randomality.

What i believe though, is that every little detail is included by a sea of sentient agents.
Every bit of reality is a shadow cast by the thoughts of angels, gawds, & lesser vertebrates, invertebrates & powdery molds.
No perceived thing is there for no more reason than, just because. there are all there, as the direct consequence of angels watching our program, blending with the bits created by lesser forms. we expect reality to take on various forms, but superimposed upon that veneer of our tepid minds, are the incomprehensible mysteries of the xi.6 controllers.

•The•Internet•is•fake•
What i'm suggesting / asserting is that The Internet ( Interweb ) is much shallower than its proponents would like you to believe.
i further suspect that this scam is destroying the world economy.
As the Computer Industry is Weaving all Prior Media Outlets to The Internet, They are diluting The economy as it preexisted. The industry wants the population to use computers now, but computers confuse people. They aren't using them as much as they should be, and the gap between services that used to be easily available, and are now just out of reach are weakening the economy.
The Evidence
i suspect that very few people actually own a computer, and only a very small fraction of those ever use it in any meaningful way.
While Facebook may have signed up its one millionth user recently, this is derived from a world population of 8 Billion, and most of the accounts that i know of, they are from people that signed up and never returned to it.
While Flickr has thousands of new pictures each day, most of them are crap, and they're being loaded by a tiny fraction of Flickr's users.
i have often gone looking for someone with a common name, and Google returns zero hits.
It is odd enough that many of these people that i'm looking for have no internet presence, but why aren't there Any people that share that name?
Everyone that i know rarely use computers, even the young people don't routinely use or even have very good computers.
If everyone is supposed to have a computer, especially young people, why is it that so often we come across a poorly hand written sign or poster for a lost kitten. Is it that these people don’t know how to use a printer? It would certainly seem reasonable to me that any child would have learned or figured out how to make a poster of any given size, and then print it out with multiple sheets, that would then be taped or glued together. Yet how often have you seen such a project?
The Internet is a Hoax
Ordinarily when i make a blanket statement like The Internet is a Hoax, i mean that The Entire Idea of The Internet does not in fact, in reality, exist in any form whatsoever...
But in this case; i mean simply that it's not nearly as big or pervasive as some people would like to believe.
What i believe is that Very Few of The Featherless Parakeets of The Damp Masses even own a computer, and those that do, have only the most superficial awareness of what it is, or what to do with it. And of those that do seem to grasp the purpose or potential functionality of it, Use it only for the most idiotic purposes; Such as playing games, email or for the most advanced users, Chat Rooms.
Even for many of the hamsters that have a comparatively deep understanding of what a computer does, they own and use them as little more than jewelry.
My Evidence:
Very often i will go to the internet looking for specific references to a particular problem or topic, And find NO References to it. This may be that the alleged Search Engines do not actually search the entire Internet, but only a few paid for sites, or more insidiously, are able to reference the user computer's own files to find internet sites that the user expects to find...!
On several occasions i have gone to look for people that i have gone to High School with and found NO References to them, or even extraneous links to other people with their very common names. You would think that any given reasonably common name would yield millions of Internet References, And yet they return No Hits...???
i understand that many websites are paid for with gratuitous advertising on each web page, but there are all those blogs and Flickr Accounts that have No Advertising on them. How does Google pay for these things. Google has dozens & dozens of features and programs that have no apparent means of paying for themselves. Is there some -Other- Secret Agenda to all this.
Like Free Fonts. There are many people that try to sell their fonts, but how can they expect to make a living by selling custom fonts to a few hard core film makers or industry moguls that demand a quazi-unique font for a film or company spread sheet...???
And why are Computer Programming Languages either NonExistent or OutRageously Expensive? Obviously; The computer Industry doesn't want people writing their own programs... Like that would be a real problem, as most hamsters can't compose an intelligible grocery list.
And how can a teenager in England hack their way through the hundreds if not thousands of layers of security that we would expect our military computers to employ...? It seems to me that you could have a very secure server by simply asking a user who they are, looking them up in a directory of allowed users, then call them back, establishing a link initiated by the host computer. Or if they try more than 5 passwords, Cut them off. It all seems far too simple to me.
There is something else going on. The Interweb that we are lead to believe exists, is actually something quite different, Intended for some purpose that it not entirely clear.... Even to me.
There are Innumerable Holes in The Interweb that would seem to suggest that either it is being controlled by an all seeing agency and is not the untamperable land of infinite free speech that some are asserting that it is. Obviously; Some Nations, Such as China are very actively filtering the content that their people are allowed to view-- But i am thinking of other Holes that don't seem to have any clear motivation behind them.
There is no viable Newsgroup for Coast to Coast. There used to be, but when Art Bell Left the show, he apparently took this Newsgroup with him. This AM Radio Show is supposed to have a listening audience of Millions & Millions world wide, and most Newsgroups have only a few dozen or few hundred regular subscribers. It is Incomprehensible that their isn't a Newsgroup that attracts this tiny percentage of Coast to Coast listeners.
There are plenty of groups that don't exist.

The Interweb is A Hoax
One of my very crazy Ideas is that The Internet is a Hoax.
And what i mean by ‘Hoax’ is that it is being ‘Sold’ or ‘Presented’ to us as one thing,
& it is not that thing.
The Evidence that i have for this, is that The Numerous Search Engines,
Notably Google; will return The Most Obscure Links to The Most Obscure Topics,
with some Exceptions. Its these Exceptions that ( Concern ) me.
It certainly seems very odd to me that when i type in The Names of some of The Children that i went to School with, Nothing comes up.
It is remotely possible that these ( Now Adults ) have managed to remain Digitally Invisible, Or have changed their Names*;
But it is somewhat more ‘’Incredible” to my way of thinking that The Entire World has no References to =Anyone= with ‘That’ Name. ( ??? )
The other day i got a piece of ‘Official’ Government mail that had a ‘Fine Print’ notation on The Bottom that revealed The My Name & Address had been provided by The Dave Martin General Agency. So i was a little Curious as to What this Dave Martin ( An Extremely Common name ( presumably ) ) General Agency Was, But A Search for it Resulted in No Hits by Dogpile. ( ??? )

•True•Epistemological•Thinking•
- - or how true scientists
should control their thinking - -
Andy comes over and invites me to look in a box.
i look in the box and see a two headed rabbit.
i say; ‘i see a two headed rabbit.’
Andy says; ‘That’s what i see.’
From This; It is easy for Andy & Myself to agree that there is a two headed rabbit in the box, and more importantly; The two headed rabbit exists independently of our observations.
This is how Scientists Think.
A group of Scientists that can all agree that there exists a box at such & such a location that contains a two headed rabbit, is an element of their agreed upon reality.
That’s what reality is for them; A Collection of Elements that they all agree upon having the attribute of Existence in a particular, agreed upon manner.
The Epistemologist Thinks about The World slightly differently.
Betty calls me over to look in a box.
i come over and look in the box.
i see a three headed rabbit and say to Betty;
‘i see a three headed rabbit in the box.’
Betty looks at me as if i were insane,
Then just to reassure herself before having me bound in medical tape and hauled away by my feet, looks in the box again.
Betty sees a three headed rabbit.
‘Oh!’ She exclaims; ‘i was sure that it was a two headed rabbit, but one of them must have been covered by the head on the far end. It is indeed a three headed rabbit.’
From this; Betty & Myself are in agreement that the box contains a three headed rabbit.
We call over Charley to look in the box.
Charley; After looking in the box, declares;
‘The box is empty.’
The Epistemologist is slightly confused,
But more to the point; S/he is uncertain whether there is a three headed rabbit in the box that exists independently of the shared experience that Betty & i assert is true.
Since The Epistemologist is not concerned with what they themselves are experiencing, since they may be completely insane, yet still think with impeccable logic; They are only concerned with framing their view of The World in a Consistent Manner that consists of a Collection of Sets, Some of which include boxes with three headed rabbits and some don’t.
There are undoubtedly Sets which contain people that believe that there are boxes with three headed rabbits in them, But is there also A Set in which There are Boxes with Three Headed Rabbits in them?
The Principle Difference between The Way that Scientist’s & Epistemologist’s Think;
Is That for The Scientist; There is only One True Reality that A Given Group of Scientists all Agree upon…
While The Epistemologist is never really certain as to What The True Reality Consists of;
But they do have a Thick Bound Volume of Experiences that many people assert are True.
Pragmatically; The Reality that is most Functional, Is Generally the one that the most people agree is consistent in it’s various minutiae,
But There are invariably Experiences that are unique, or Comparatively unique, which do have critical elements that exist independently of those experiences.

•We•Are•Not•Robots•
For the Assertion “I am Not a Robot!”
To be True; Such a Mind ( Expression Maker )
Must be Autonomous, And Thus Possess FreeWill.
As We ( Humanimals ) understand the universe, And reality in General; There is no Conceivable Mechanism for FreeWill. FreeWill, in Fact: Contradicts everything we think we know about how The Universe Works.
But.
Autonomy is quite Simple.
Unfortunately; The only Truly Autonomous Agency in The Universe, Is The Universe itself.
Any Subset of The Universe is Influenced in a Grand Variety of Ways by EveryOther Element or Elements in The Universe.
It is quite obvious that The Damp Masses are easily Led, Influenced, Controlled, Enculturated, Spoon Fed, Manipulated & EnSlaved by The Minds of Others. There is No Master Controller. EveryOne is EnSlaved by The Timeless Invisible Hand of What just happened.
But on another level, Every bit of mass is gravitationally influencing every other bit of mass, As well as being pushed and pulled by magnetic forces.
And.
If it is the case that tiny photons or gluons of some unspecified color are able to jump through time along the edges of black holes, Then these tiny particles will no doubt, from one moment to the next, find there way into your brain and occasionally knock an electron out of orbit, causing you to think an unexpected thought.
So.
There is only one Autonomous entity in the universe, The universe itself.
But in This entity conscious?
Probably not,
But.
If our original assertion that there exists at least one sentient entity in the universe, then the autonomy of that entity, derives from The Autonomy of The Universe.
This means that there is only one entity in The Universe with FreeWill,
And : This FreeWill is operating by some mechanism that is unknown to us.
Let us simply allow that this is True.
The Alternative is that No Such Entity Exists, Our Original Assertion was False,
And All Expression Makers are Robots.
- -
Given then that There is One Truly Sentient Entity with Autonomy & FreeWill, There is The Dilemma ( Not Necessarily A Paradox ) of The Appearance of Multiple such Entities.
How might this be Resolved?
Solipsistic Reincarnation.
This allows for Reincarnated Entities to Not Only jump from one living form to another, And perhaps even forms outside our generic topic heading of ‘Living’, It allows that these Entities may jump back & forth in Time…
So that All Apparent Entities are Actually only One Entity, At different Periods of Its Existence.
So that everytime you are cruel to some other entity, you are actually being cruel to some future self, or possibly, a past self.

NoOne is Gay or Homosexual
All Gay Couples invariably have one partner that is dominated by the other. Essentially following the Standard Format of Male & Female.
So that while they both are ostensibly of a single sexual form, They have taken the roles of Male & Female, which they deem Natural & True.
For those few Gay Couples that would arguably not following this pattern; A Closer examination would reveal that they are androgynous eunuchs with a relationship based on a deep sexualess friendship.
-
Everyone is A Homosexual.
Most Men prefer the company of other Men,
and find the company of women tedious & boorish.
Likewise; Most women prefer the company of Women.
Such that if Men & Women were allowed to marry The person of their choice for a life partner, They would invariably choose someone of their own sex.
Procreation would be managed by institutionalized rituals in which sexual matings would be approved by councils of the community.
Sexual Tension would be culturally managed by community masturbation with their life partners.
For those few that preferred the company of partners of an opposite sex, such unions are rarely, if ever sexual in nature. Such persons would be classic asexuals, monosexuals & androgynous eunuchs.

•What•is•Wrong•With••The•War•On•Terror•
One Very Curious thing about the lies that we hear on the news, is that these stories will often contain a teaser or truth or some hint as to what is going on…
November 27th 2010
There was a story on the Radio that revealed that the FBI had arrested a Terrorist that had intended to detonate a bomb during a Portland ( Oregon or Maine ? ) Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This plot was curtailed however because the FBI had supplied the Terrorist with Fake Explosives ! Just how dangerous was this person before the FBI spend months grooming him into Becoming a Terrorist?
If there really was a Terrorist Organization in The US, Why are they so Ineffective? In all the years since 911, There have been NO Terrorist Attacks in The US, And those few that have been feebly attempted, The FBI or ( X ) have caught them minutes after their Failed Attempt, and it is usually revealed that this was possible because the FBI was part of the Terrorist Cell!
- -
Some time ago, There was another Terrorist that was charged with Terrorist Activities, but it was then revealed that the charges stemmed from his failure to fully cooperate with his interrogators after he was arrested. There were no charges of any activities before he was arrested!

911
The Plane that Allegedly hit the Pentagon & Crashed in Pennsylvania completely disintegrated, The first time ever in all plane crashes.
There are no Videos of The Plane hitting the Pentagon.
There are amazingly few videos of The Second plane hitting the WTC Tower, And only one of The first plane hitting. + Anomalies of These Videos.
All The Craziness at The Airport at ( x ) that was closed down that morning. ( it seems to be a de facto pattern that whenever ever there is a big story somewhere in the US, there is a second big story that is completely forgotten. )

•The•Apollo•Missions•
Reasons why It is Unreasonable to Believe that Humanimals Actually Visited The Moon...
i. The Van Allen Belt / i'm kind of fuzzy about the Van Allen Belt Argument, But there some evidence that the belt(s really are very dangerous. There is one story about how NASA was concerned about the Space Shuttle being too close to The Belt(s when they were hundreds of miles from where The Apollo Space ships would have had to pass through... And even if The Radiation of The Belts were only equivalent to an X-Ray, How long did The Apollo ships have to spend in The Belts...? ( 4 hours ! ) An hour of X-Rays, or a Few Minutes. Even if it were only a few minutes, That would still be fatal, As Dentists are worried sick if you are exposed to more than a dozen X-Rays, each of which lasts a tiny fraction of second each. ( ? ) It's also been mentioned that the insulation & shielding of the Command Capsule was thinner than that of a Greyhound Bus, and much thinner than a Commercial Airliner, which is also concerned with the exposure of radiation for frequent fliers.
ii. Regoliths / MicroMeteors / The Moon is exposed to a never ending bombardment of MicroMeteors, any One of which could easily destroy a space ship made from thin aluminum, or an astronaut in a spacesuit, made long before the invention of Kevlar.
iii. Solar Reflections on their Helmets / Reflections in a fishbowl make the light source smaller, yet the sun reflections in the astronaut helmets on the moon are gigantic, quite the opposite of solar reflections on the helmets of astronauts in low earth orbit.
iv. Dust Kicked up by Rovers / Lunar Gravity may indeed make lunar dust fall slower than on Earth, But why is lunar dust kicked away from the spinning tires slower? It makes perfect sense if the film was merely slowed down, which when reversed--- That is; When you speed up The Apollo films, they make perfect sense as ordinary guys in lightweight suits, hopping around on a lunar stage set.
v. Missing Dust in Landing Feet / Why is there No Lunar dust in the LEM pod's inverted dish feet?
vi. Missing Craters Under LEMs / If the lunar surface is made up of such light dust, why are the surfaces under the LEMs, absolutely smooth? That is; Without the crater than should be there. If the under surface was blasted smooth, that would be one argument, but the undersides look just as pristine as the surrounding terrain ( lunarain ).
vii. Really Odd Lunar Features / Totally ridiculous Letters and Numbers that seem to indicate where to place Rocks and other Features, Plus Background Horizons that seem to be used over & over for shots in radically different directions, Or seen in Improbably Perspective views...?
viii. “What happened to the official videotapes of the Apollo 11 landing? To save space in the broadcast spectrum so they could transmit telemetry and other data, cameras on the lunar lander transmitted images in a special slow-scan format. That data was received by stations in Australia and the Mojave, formatted for television broadcast and sent to Houston. The images seen on television were fuzzy and indistinct. The actual slow-scan footage before conversion was crisp and full of detail. / But those priceless historical images weren’t put in a vault at the Smithsonian like they should have been. According to NASA records, the official video images of the moon landing were stored in 2,612 boxes at a government warehouse. Between 1975 and 1979, the Goddard Space Center requested all but two boxes of tapes and never returned them to the National Archives. Now, the 13,000 reels of data are nowhere to be found. In 2006, NASA began a dedicated agency-wide hunt, but to date, the images haven’t shown up. “Despite the challenges of the search,” a NASA release states, “NASA does not consider the tapes to be lost.” But the hoaxers and moon doubters do. And it’s unlikely their questions will be put to rest till we put another footprint on the moon.
ix. There are innumerable photos taken on the moon in which the surfaces opposite of the sun are well illuminated, making details stand out for examination. One of the best examples of this is the famous image of buzz aldrin ( there are few if any pictures ( ? for some unspecified reason ) of Neil A on the moon ) standing full front, saluting i think, with a grandiose lunar landscape behind him. Also; the sun is almost directly behind him, casting a long shadow toward the photographer. What is odd is that that Buzz is fully illuminated. Try this on Earth, with the most reflective surface features you can find, such as a wintery snowy landscape & our diffuse atmosphere, and you find that the face & body are in heavy, dark shadows. In the lunar picture, the surrounding rocks all feature this very dark & expected effect, since they are not being front lit in the studio.
x. In this same picture, which is found on a 'Roll' of film, presumably, and sold to us as The Original Roll, Sequence & UnEdited Pictures, from the moon, The Center Cross hairs, which are engraved on the lens of the camera lens, are far from the center of the image.
xi. Complete lack of Fogging on The Film. The Hasselblad Cameras were slightly modified from the off the shelf models, but were not in any way especially insulated from the ambient radiation & cosmic rays that pervaded the lunar environment, that the cameras were exposed to for several hours. Yet none of the pictures show any sign fogging which is common in pictures that are exposed to the very brief x-rays from security devices, or being left in a hot car.
xii. The Meteoric Development of The Space Program. From No Space Program whatsoever in 1957 when Sputnik was launched by the Soviet Union; The United States put together a Space Program from Scratch, and landed on the moon 10 years later. Given the hundreds of individual Rockets & Entire Fields of Technology that had to be developed, How many Man hours did that require? How many Engineers were available? Since there was no space program at that time, what were the available Engineers principally trained for? How long does it take to create an automobile from Inception to Roll Out with Few, If any Pioneering Technologies? / i have heard a story that when The Fledging NASA first started working on The Saturn Five, they realized that if they tested all the individual components, which were in the tens of thousands, it would take them at least 50 years to complete the program, So the Administration decided to simply build the whole thing, without particulation testing, and then test it as a entirety. Amazingly; According to history, this approach worked.
xiii. If The Initial Moon Landing was a Hoax, why would NASA go on to hoax Six more times, each requiring an additional investment of being discovered? / The original ‘primary’ reason was not to ‘merely fake a moon landing’ but to create a ruse to divert billions of dollars to fund some mysterious black project. What was this mysterious black project? i have no idea. But along with all my other crazy conspiracy theories, i suspect ( a priori logic ) that The real ’truth’ is very much crazier than any of The crazy ‘cover stories’ that we are being told is what The conspiracists are promoting. That is all just disinformation. Layers and Layers of disinformation with The truth buried so deep that even nuts like me are never able to come across or imagine it.
xiv. Why didn’t The Russians, Chinese or (x Expose The Landings as being faked? Either; A: They knew The Big Truth, and were in on The Swindle, giving authority to The Idea of The World being Secretly United under a World Government that only pretends to be in conflict with one another’s nations. or B: The Information that The Russians or Chinese had available to them was from The same sources that were fooling The vast number of technicians at NASA. The Grand Conspirators may have infiltrated Russian & Chinese Space Facilities with Agents to Feed These Governments The same disinformation as NASA was being Fed.
xv. Why are There No Stars in any of The pictures? It’s been suggested that The only reason we can see stars here on Earth is because of The atmosphere that fuzzies them up. But The Amount of light, The photonmic energy of each star would be The same as on The moon or actually, more so, and this should have, at least with The brighter stars, left an image. But The reason that they were painted out, was because The hoaxers realized that The positions of The stars in Their hoaxed backgrounds would easily give them away, so they contrived of an excuse as to why they wouldn’t be seen. There are several ‘original’ images that when scanned and pixel shifted, show unambiguously where these areas of black out are most egregiously painted in. / There is also a video on You Tube ( ??? ) that purports to show this same ‘enhancing’ effect on an image of The Sun, which shows filaments in The light bulb.
xvi. The Footprints on The moon were noticeably deep imprints, while The moon lander, substantially heavier than The astronauts appears to set flush with The ground surface, causing no indentation. Also; The clarity of The foot prints is quite different from prints made by boots on dry earth or sand. It’s been suggested that The moon dust is much more granulated without weathering that makes earth sand more ‘slippery’ but this seems somewhat counter intuitive as much of The lunar dust was created by The constant grinding of space abrasion by millions of years of micrometeors & solar wind; or having been formed by meteorite impacts, in which The dust would have been created after having melted and solidified into perfect spheres, then fallen onto The surface. The very fact that it’s dust, suggests substantial ‘weathering’.
xvii. One would think that such an historic event that occurred in modern times, would have taken pains to thoroughly document & save every scrap that was in any way related to it, Yet there are missing blueprints, design sketches, archival footage, original telemetry, preprocessed video feeds & other things.

•What•is•it•That•Makes•An•Image•
••Child•Pornography••
The Core of this idea is that if you took an Image of a Naked Child and simply added large breasts to it, it would become a legitimate adult xxx image. And vice versa, if you took an image of an adult woman and subtracted her breasts, she would become a child pornographic image.
This was actually discussed sometime ago, and apparently it fell through, ∵ i often come across images of very young women that may easily be mistaken for adolescents if they were simply identified as adolescents.
The Actual formula for converting adults to children may be slightly more complicated, in that pubic hair would have to added or subtracted, and posing would also come into play, along with arranging the environment or collaging a figure into an environment to make it look larger or smaller.
The Head to Body Proportionality would be a comparatively minor factor, as girls at young as 8 or 9 look for all intents and purposes like small adults. This proportionality only comes into play with very young girls ( and boys ) and can be factored away by simply suggesting that a given figure is a dwarf or midget.
i think that the law would not be confused by the prosecution of any such doctored images, easily prosecuting a person with a collection of doctored ( legal ) adult images, made to look like children, ∵ the law is only concerned with intent. If they look like children, then they ARE Child Pornography.
Likewise they are free to do exactly the opposite, prosecuting someone with illegal child sexual images that have been doctored to look like adults, ∵ they really are children in the pictures.
Drawings ( Realistic & Cartoonish ) have been prosecuted as Child Pornography, As have pictures that were taken at public events, but in the collection of A Labeled Child Pornographer, Such as images of child gymnasts wearing spandex tights, or teenage girls in cheerleading outfits, kicking up their legs.
i suspect that perfectly innocent images of children mixed with xxx images of legal adults would be prosecuted as Child pornography.
So that Any image, even those that aren’t of children, or aren’t even of people, ( an ambiguous collection of shadows or found objects suggesting children engaged in sexual or near sexual activities ) could be used to prosecute someone of child pornography.
- - -
But if you step back from all that for a moment,
It still comes down to the fact that Western Civilization, Particularly USA’s Interpretation of all this; Makes it a crime to be and record images of human beings doing perfectly natural things.
If it all came down to images and activities that clearly depicted or recorded activities that were harming children, it would make a much stronger argument, but very often, it’s simple nudity or horsing around, that if the images were of children with shorts on, would not for a moment be considered illegal.
This is a classic Case of where A Taboo is The Worst Imaginable Crime in one context, but if you change the venue a tiny bit; to hide the vulva, ( A very subtle crease of fatty lobes ) it’s not at all a crime.

This latter speculation requires ( ? ) a slight digression in which one must wonder why The CIA in The 1960s had such a difficult ( Impossible ) time trying to assassinate Fidel Castro, or why no one got around to assassinating Hitler, or why no one ever assassinated George W. Bush ( American’s or Al Qaeda ). Add Bill Gates, Edward Teller, Myron Scholes, Sam Walton, Leona Helmsly, Randolph Scott, Henry Kissinger or Condoleezza Rice?
I refuse to believe that these figures are really so sufficiently insulated so as to make them safe from a reasonably intelligent & determined assassin.

•UnCovering•top•secret•documents•
Trying to Uncover the Truth of Some Event in Which the Perpetrators have gone to great lengths to Obscure & CoverUp is Complicated with an Unknown Fraction of DisInformation which Dilutes & Confuses The Value of Documents which may actually contain True Elements.
The Approach to Circumvent this is to treat all the available information as an encrypted document that is attempting to pound the entire body of information to zero significance.
Any Encrypted Document that fails to perfectly nullify the encrypted document to white noise contains nubs which betray the parts that are information & disinformation.

•Illegal•child•Sexual•Abuse•
•vs•perfectly•legal•child•abuse•
One of the Elements of Illegal Sexual Child Abuse that so annoys me is that This Sexual Abuse is often defined so that no actual abuse is taking place. Simply touching a child ( inappropriately ) satisfies this criteria for Sexual Abuse. And this comes back to my thesis that every child should be able to define their own private zones, so that a given child should be able to claim genuine sexual abuse if they’re patted on the head, as opposed to being patted on their bum or pudendum.
The other thought that i had; concerns the amount of depicted child abuse that occurs in the perfectly accepted venues of TV & Cinema.
Why is it allowed to depict horrible child abuse without sexual elements or more tacit sexual elements, while even cartoon illustrations of child nudism or sexual activity is western civilization’s most atrocious felony crimes.

•Most•Famous•or•Best•
piece•of•Art•ever•Created•
The Mona Lisa is often credited as being the best painting ever created, but this is clearly malarky.
The only reason that this rumor started, was, apparently, Leonardo himself started this piece of gossip.
What is the Best, Most Important Painting ever created?
Is it just a matter of taste, or might it be reasonable to define what the functionality of a painting should be, and then assess which painting or sculpture most satisfies this criteria?
Is it Reasonable that this piece of art might not be terribly famous? It should be fairly well documented, and created at least 20 years ago, to avoid any suggestion that it’s considered because it’s The Flavor of The Month.
What is The Criteria?
A Painting’s Importance is a function of its Ability or Causality in Elevating ( Man’s ) Consciousness.
It should be Well Crafted.
It would have to Be the Stepping Stone Work, Rather than a Better Example Derived from The Original Idea, Unless The Derivative Work Actualized A Poorly Considered Idea that The Original Work may Not have Realized. That is; A Work may have stumbled onto to some Grandiose Idea, but The Artist failed to realize and fully execute the underlying idea. They may may have asked some elemental question in a work, and then failed to proceed to it’s logical conclusion. The Following Work, would be Candidate Material.
Candidates:
The Earliest ( ? ) AE Painting which asserted that A Painting is A Thing in itself, and not necessarily a faux representation of something else.
The Earliest Minimalist Painting that attempted to define the minimal limits of what art or a painting might be.
The Earliest Representation of Something.
The Earliest Representation of A NonRepresentational Idea.

•Change•equals•The•Road•to•Hell•
It has been my view for some time that people hate to change. It would seem to be an evolutionary ( or a feature built into people by angels ) adaption that all change is bad. Any possible change means that whatever reasonably stable conditions that are working out alright now, may be jeopardized. Even in times of crisis, most people understand that a given seasonal disaster or act of gawd, is a temporary situation, and may suggest some small act of attrition, but does not justify major changes to a given way of life.
If this is accurate; As it is demonstrated throughout the history of human civilization in which there have been periods of thousands of years without an substantial technological or cultural changes. These cultures not only fail to make small improvements to common everyday technologies which are severely flawed, but also fail to create new fashions, architectural innovations or fix ongoing problems that are clearly causing ongoing inconveniences.
Given this; Why do we see cultures in The so-called Middle East ( Northern Africa ), Africa Proper, South America, Asia and Polynesia that continue to follow this prescription of No-Change is Good, Vs ‘The West’ ( America & Europe ) which are frantically changing as much as possible.
What does this mean?
It may be that at some time, probably due to Technological Innovations and The Breaking up of The Monopoly Ma-Bell, Society at first tried to adapt to this new technological environment, but then broke the culture.
That is; Western Civilization became fundamentally dysfunctional, as it is commonly thought to be, by both people living within Western Cultures and Foreigners that typically see The West and Corrupt, Dissident, Morally Bankrupt & Fiscally Irresponsible.
People in the west recognize this, and are desperate to fix their own culture, but don’t know how to do it, and there is already such a fractionalized population that all the different sub-cultures are both separated from the general population and linked to it by the media & computer access, so that every dysfunctional change they try, is immediately spread throughout the culture, which applies it to fit their own needs which never works out.
It just keeps getting worse and worse.
Once a culture starts down this path of frantic change, it will only result in one result, and that is a total cultural collapse.
People are basically speaking apes, whose natural living environment is an open savanna.
When we moved to huts and domesticated fire, our genes told us to go slow, but when that was forgotten, even for a few weeks, we immediately began to spiral out of control, each attempt to rein change in and settle down, only made each new itineration more splintered.

•The•Ego•Trick•
A Book by Julian Baggini
The book suggests that the ego, or self, is a illusion of some kind.
As i was reading a interweb article on the book, and not the book itself, along with a slew of comments on the article, i got to thinking of something that Wm Jaz told me some time ago, as a possible explanation of how early apes became conscious... ( ! )
This is my interpretation of all this.
Let’s say we’re looking at a windup toy on the floor, it has been wound up and is scurrying around on the floor, and has sensor antenna that allows it to avoid objects and acts as if it has a small amount of intelligence.
Does this wind up toy have a sense of self?
i would think that the answer is no.
So.
Let us then imagine that we have a very sophisticated robot like Data or C3PO or HAL.
We know that these Machines were built in such & such a way to emulate human consciousness and we can further hook up their electrical brain’s to a teletype machine so that we can view all their thoughts, and the causal reasons for each thought that they express, either by speaking them, writing them down, or acting them out in some manner.
We ask this Machine; Do you have a sense of Self?
And the Robot answers : Yes!
And we have also heard the Robot Claim;
“I Think, therefore, i am.”
We know that the robot is not really capable of forming a sense of self, or asserting this, so we look through all the teletype pages and we discover that the robot is saying these things for such & such a reason.
We then conclude that the robot was in a sense, lying or more accurately; due to faulty programming, or too clever programming, it was mistaken.
We are completely satisfied that when ‘i’ a human being asserts that i have a sense of self, it is markedly different from what the robot is saying when it asserts that it has a sense of self.
Now.
When we hear another human say; i have a sense of self, It would be entirely reasonable that we could apply the same reasoning to this person that we’ve applied to the robot, and suspect or believe ( without knowing for sure ) that this person has no greater sense of self then the robot does. ( ! )
Then: The Tricky Part.
Wm Jaz told me some time ago that there was a school of thought that believed that we ( Humanimals ) became conscious when we started speaking, and were able to listen to ourselves talk. This created somekind of feedback loop, in which our ‘Selfless’ Sense of Robotic Consciousness began to listen to ourselves say things like; “I think, therefore, I am.” or similar things which allowed our inner robot to develop a sense of this thing that is talking, is Me, and This Me is Thinking. I Am.
In other words; What if we were listening to ourselves say; ‘I have a sense of self’ and then applied the same reasoning to the robot and our coworker in thinking that they are mistaken.
Would it not be equally reasonable to suspect that we are mistaken as well?
Or is The Sense of Self substantially more than just listen to ourselves talk?
- -
One other curious thing that i have observed for some time is that when we say something, or more precisely; When ‘I’ say something, i will, occasionally, become aware of what i am saying along with everyone else that may be listening. This is especially true when i say something witty. i was never aware of confabulating the witty remark, so that when i spoke it, it was just as fresh for me as it was for everyone else. ( ! )
Not only does this suggest that there is a thinking consciousness in my mind, but an observing consciousness as well.
What is more; When i say something, The Raw Idea is converted into speech, then i listen to it, and the speech is converted back into A Raw Idea ( Presuming that The Mind or Brain works with these Raw Ideas, And not the Speech Patterns ).
What seems curious, is that i am not aware of the Raw Ideas. i am only aware of the Speech Patterns.
Does this offer somekind of proof that my consciousness is nothing but listening to myself.
Am i just as mistaken as the robot in thinking that i have a sense of self...
Or.
Does it mean that the robot really does have a sense of self? Assuming that this ‘Sense of Self’ that we are attaching so much importance to, is This sense of listening to yourself, which the robot is just as capable of doing.
- -
This also brings up the question of how deaf people ( deaf since birth ) think?
Or someone like Helen Keller that was both deaf and Blind.
Or An Earthworm.
The Earthworm may be the key to this question (!)
The Earthworm ( Assuming for the moment that it constantly daydreams as it’s tunneling through the ground. She undoubtedly thinks in terms of what it feels, or as a collection of all of it’s sensory experiences.
For an ordinary humanimal, that is dominated by what we see & hear. Most of what we think is in terms of our speech, but we think in pictures too. A deaf person presumably thinks more dominantly in pictures, but it would seem very odd to me if their thinking was dominated by a stream of hand signs ( ! )
- -
Are we living in a universe that is so cruel, that it allows us to be aware that we are robots?
- -
Along a similar vein : ( ? )
What if a fly ( or the earthworm ) had no sense of self, but perceived themselves as a node in their universe, such that all their experiences were understood to be what the world is.
As opposed to the way humanimals view the world, as; Me here, The World; There.
The fly would then have a much more ( Accurate ) Zen perspective of The Universe as An Autonomous entity in which stuff happens.

•Dimensions•
It has become increasingly popular amoung physicists and such to think that the world is constructed around more dimensions that we commonly perceive.
i have no problem with the world built around 11 or 26 or 57 dimensions, but the reasoning behind why we don’t perceive them, seems convoluted to me. By suggesting that they exist, but they are tightly wound up in tiny bundles of vibrating strings seems hackneyed to me.
i am much more comfortable thinking of dimensions as attributes. There are attributes of width & height & depth, but there are other attributes which all physical things possess as well.
Electrical Charge may allow us to at least think of all matter has having an attribute that we don’t usually think of as a dimension, and however we define these attributes, Electrical Charge will probably fail this test, But once you have a foot in the door of attributes being something other than just x,y & z plus time, which is sufficiently different to push the door open a little more.
The ‘Dimension’ of Time seems predicated on The Idea that Time Travel is Tacitly Allowed, So that; Rather than Time simply ‘Proceeding’ forward, It is ‘Assumed’ that Time can Flow backwards just as easily, if only we knew how to do this. / This idea of Time flowing backwards is somewhat ‘Defended’ by Physicists that Insist that Tiny SubAtomic Activity is ‘Timeless’ in that if this activity is run forward or backwards in a film projector, it is Indistinguishable, but this is a ‘Problem’ with Perceptions & Understanding, Not Anything to do with Time Proper.
- -
Why don’t we perceive these other dimensions or attributes? Why can’t we measure them?
Our tools and measuring instruments are only designed to show us the quantified ‘dimensions’ of things that we’re familiar with.
Might there be things that we can’t see because they effect us very subtly? There are plenty of phenomena that fall just a little outside our usual measurements.
And many other experiences that we can’t even begin to measure, like esp or ghosts.
As well as consciousness, sense of self or memories.
A Greater understanding of these ‘other’ attributes, or dimensions, might suddenly allow us to understand why magnets push and pull, while gravity only pulls.
It is my pet theory that gravity pushes, but the direction that it pushes in, is not a direction that we’re commonly familiar with.

•What•is•Worthwhile•
What is a Worthwhile pursuit to dedicate ones life to?
Using the Tool of Elimination
What Things are Not Worthwhile :
Everything that is Janitorial, that merely sustains things, makes the assumption that Whatever these activities are sustaining, they are doing something worthwhile.
So that All Medical Services and Research for Treatments is not worthwhile.
If Something worthwhile were identified, Then all these peripheral Activities would contribute to the Worthwhile activity, but they would remain UnWorthwhile in themselves.
Mathematics; Juggling numbers may find applications in other venues, but is not in itself worthwhile.
Discovery Sciences; Such as Anthropology or Paleontology, are not worthwhile.
Might it be that only activities that create something are worthwhile, or can something be worthwhile without creating anything?
Writing a story or composing music, although these may only exist as an idea, without being committed to paper or some other medium, would be considered creating something.
Building things is making something.
Making houses is essentially janitorial, as the houses only provide shelter for people to pursue other activities.
Art, or Art as a nice house is pleasing to some desire to be pleased, is this worthwhile?
Is reproduction worthwhile?
Reproduction merely makes more sentient entities that may or may not do something worthwhile.
Making Pornography satisfies this desire to be pleased. What is this desire to be Pleased?
Eating satisfies hunger, but eating is not worthwhile.
Discovering how the universe works.
Understanding electricity ( to some degree ) allows engineers to make electronic devices.
Is Watching TV Worthwhile? Is the TV Worthwhile?
Is playing sports Worthwhile?
Is keeping busy worthwhile?
Is it reasonable to believe that maybe someday something will be found to be worthwhile, and sustaining the world until then, is worthwhile?
Is the existence of an amoebae worthwhile?
Was the reign of the dinosaurs worthwhile?
Is the existence of Pluto worthwhile?
Would the angels weep inconsolably if Pluto ceased to exist?
Is it entirely reasonable to be concerned about things that the universe won’t let us think anything differently than what was decided 100 quadtrillion years ago.
Maybe it is worthwhile to allow The Dao to just tell us what to do.

If you’re going to create a continuum of worthwhileness, what attributes might be used to determine which activities are placed left or right to one another. Once you’ve got something like this going though, you simply work your way through the dictionary, and then look to see which vocation is farthest to the right or left ( ?

•What•is•Worthwhile•two•
If we assume that butterflies do Not have worthwhile lives, which would generically apply to all non-higher cognitive beings.
Surely dogs & cats can think, And bees & ants can do some amazing things, But we may somehow define ourselves as possessing some attribute that makes humanimals capable of doing something worthwhile that bees can not.
Bees and Trees are out of the Equation.
All during the time before humanimals arrived, the dinosaurs & ferns were sustaining the life cycles until humanimals arrived.
Might it be that humanimals are just keeping the seats on buses warm until the real beings that might do something worthwhile?
What is worthwhile?
This idea of making pretty things seem to be very interesting to me.
Such as paintings and music.
They appeal to something in people that works kind of like hunger for food or sexual orgasms, but it serves no purpose for survival or procreation that is in any way obvious.
It may be that making art & music is something like birds showing off their feathers, but the end effect doesn’t seem to work to this desired consequent. If anything, Artists and most musicians seem to do less well in the gene pool.
Famous people may be argued to do better, but any measurable skill or desirable attributes to a better humanimal that contributes to this quality of ‘Fame’ is Directly Inversely Proportional.
So let us return to this idea of ‘What is Pleasing?’
Is simply experiencing something popular or famous Pleasing in itself?
The Opposite of this seems to be true.
The Opposite of this that i’m thinking of is when you are eating dinner and someone throws up. You are genetically designed to immediately throw up as well, since your genes are reasoning that you are all eating the same things, and they have detected something poisoning, which you have not yet detected, So as a matter of faith, you throw up potentially perfectly good food that may be poisoned.
Everyone seems to abhor unpopular things, Even people that are counter-revolutionaries prefer things that are popular within their niche.
People that genuinely enjoy things that no one else likes are rejected by everyone, even the other people that genuinely like things that no one else enjoys.
They are the crazy people.
But casual sex allows even these people to reproduce.
What this may mean is that there is No ‘Things that Please Me’ Desire. What we are actually experiencing is ‘I want to like whatever is Popular’ Desire.
Certainly there are lots of people that like things that are popular, and have no idea why they like them.
Does anyone actually ‘Like’ anything?
There is some confusion here.
i have personally experienced something like a desire to like something, which i knew was abhorrent, so that i was very reluctant to express my desire for this thing. Part of me wanted to like it, but i knew it was wrong, so while i still like this thing, i keep it a secret.
What is it that makes me like something that is wrong to like? That has no desirable qualities to serve any survival functionality whatsoever.
Does this thing i like have attributes that serve some genuine functionality that the damp masses may not be readily aware of?
- -
As a Counter Argument to all of this;
i believe that the life of every amoebae is functional, and valuable and important to the universe.
And any people that want to live the simple, natural life, should be allowed to do so. Such a life would be based on whatever people can do in an climatically friendly environment in which people can live, completely naked, with tools that each person can make on their own. Tools can’t be traded or given away, but food can be. If you can’t make a stone tool, then you don’t use stone tools. But you can provide services to stone tool using people, and they can provide you with meat from large animals. This would be a class society, but the classes would be defined by functionality, not Nepotism or Race. The Purpose of this No-Trading Policy is to A) Prevent a Class Society Based on all the wrong things, And B) Keep The Society from Technologically Evolving. It’s supposed to be a simple society. If you get sick, and the witch doctor/mid-wife can’t cure you, then you die.

If you start with The Assumption that there are no 12 foot tall people, and then create a catalog of people and their heights, you would be very satisfied for many years that your assumption was true, as this catalog would be free of anyone taller than 8 feet, but then you discover that in a remote village in India, there is a man that is 11 feet 8 inches tall. He is under 12 feet, adding evidence to your assumption, but your faith that it is true should be shaken.
Another Example: Concerning the supposed crash of a flying saucer in Roswell, New Mexico. Some years after the original reports, new reports started coming out of alien bodies seen at the crash site. Then the Air Force came out and said, yes; These reports of Alien Bodies are Sincere, but the people reporting it were time-compressing a second event in which dummies were dropped from balloons to see how much damage they would sustain. This is very silly. If the Air Force were really interested in debunking these reports, they should have just said; The Original Reports never included anything about alien bodies, this was something that was added later to spice up the controversy. The Net Effect is that an attentive listener might wonder why the Air Force is weighing in on this at all? Why don’t they just ignore it? And also; The Official Government should come up with One Story of what really happened, and stick to it. All this confusion & changing their stories makes me wonder if there was something to this crashed flying saucer story after all.
More Recently; The Barack Obama Fiasco regarding his Birth Certificate. On April 27th 2011, He finally ‘Released’ his ‘Official’ Birth Certificate a few days after a newspaper clipping revealed that he was born in Honolulu, but the clipping was 8 days after his birth.
Two things; Why did it take 2 1/2 years to find this newspaper clipping, and Why did it take ‘Special Permission’ from the Hawai`ian Government to Obtain a copy of his actual Birth Certificate? Here in The State of Washington, All you have to do, to get a copy of your birth certificate, is go down to the records department, pay $5 and pick one up. It takes about 15 minutes. You need one to get a driver’s license or passport or Social Security Number.
What kind of Birth Certificate had Obama been using prior to this? i would imagine that there’s no documentation of his having used a Kenyan Birth Certificate to obtain a Drivers License or his Passport 40 years ago. His Passport is undoubtedly an ‘American’ Passport, as he had by then claimed American Citizenship by some mechanism. Once you’re a Naturalized Citizen, you’re a citizen, With the one exception; If you decide to run for President.
Another thing; How much trouble would it be to forge a Birth Certificate. The Paper document itself could be created on any home computer, but the original, original is no doubt in a filing cabinet somewheres. Could the paper & ink be compared to other Birth Certificates of that period? Is this document cross referenced in published books, which would also have to be faked, along with copies on microfiche? Might it be possible to find someone that has been hoarding newspapers for 50 years and find this newspaper clipping buried under several very old & abandoned, datable rat’s nests?
It all makes me more prone to believe that maybe there is something to his having been born in Kenya.

•Oral•Sex•And•Fathering•
In a Blog Article by Jennifer Abbasi
She suggests/claims that there are studies that indicate that women that give their male partners Fellatio and swallow, become physiologically ‘familiar’ with their partner’s chemistry.
This translates to their reduced propensity to suffer from Preeclampsia, ( a condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, sometimes with fluid retention and Kidney Damage. ) which often causes them to miscarriage.
The Chain of reasoning seems slightly skewered to me, but her argument is:
Women that swallow their partner’s semen will more likely carry his children to term,
And Those women that don’t swallow, are more likely to miscarry any given pregnancy,
Suggesting that monogamous women that swallow will have more babies from their chosen partner.
- -
The stronger argument, for which there is no evidence ( apparently ) would be if women that swallow were more likely to have preeclampsia after being exposed to ‘unfamiliar’ semen.
- -
Verbatim Clip from Her Article :
Oral sex has been linked to health effects in women. Women who frequently ingest their partner’s semen have been shown to have a significantly lower risk of preeclampsia -- a mysterious and dangerous pregnancy condition that is the leading cause of prenatal infant death -- than women who do not swallow. The findings may seem like a stretch, but before you cry foul, consider that a number of studies have shown the same correlation from unprotected vaginal sex. Researchers theorize that preeclampsia evolved at least in part to allow women to unwittingly reject pregnancies resulting from “unfamiliar” semen. Such an adaptation would favor partners who stick around for a while, and who would be more likely to share the considerable burden of parenthood. If semen from oral sex can affect whether or not a woman carries her baby to term, who’s to say it can’t have other consequences on a woman’s body, such as affecting her mood?

•Social•Experiments•on•Children•
From Discover Magazine
- -
Ethics has a bizarre blind spot around parents and children. For no justifiable reason that I can discern, we deem it perfectly tolerable for a parent to decide unilaterally to raise their child genderless or under the Tiger Mother or laissez-faire method of parenting, but horror at the idea of someone “testing” one of these parental styles on a child. Recall, there is no test to become a parent, no minimum qualification or form of licensing. In fact, if you are so irresponsible as to unintentionally have a child you do not want and cannot support, you have more of a right (and obligation) to rear that child than a stranger with the means and desire to give that child a better life.
We erroneously connect the ability to reproduce with the ability to rear in our social norms and in our laws. As adoption, IVF, sperm/egg donation and surrogate mothers along with new family structures challenge the concept that the person who provides the gametes or womb is also the person who will teach the child to ride a bicycle, we need to investigate the impact of perpetuating the idea that there is a link between reproducing and rearing.
I would like to test this reproduce-rearing correlation with a thought experiment. The details of the thought experiment appear below the fold, but the conclusion is as follows: it would be ethically permissible for a scientist to adopt a large group of children and then perform specific, non-harmful, nature-vs-nurture social experiments on those children.
My idea comes from an interview by Charles Q. Choi at;
Too Hard for Science?
with Steven Pinker about just such an experiment:
There is one morally repugnant line of thought Pinker strenuously objects to that could resolve this question. “Basically, every nature-nurture debate could be settled for good if we could raise a group of children in a closed environment of our own design, the way we do with animals,” he says. . .
“The biological basis of sex differences could be tested by dressing babies identically, hiding their sex from the people they interact with, and treating them identically, or better still, dividing them into four groups —
boys treated as boys,
boys treated as girls,
girls treated as girls,
girls treated as boys,”
he notes. . .
“There’s no end to the ethical horrors that could be raised by this exercise,” Pinker says.
“In the sex-difference experiment, could we emasculate the boys at different ages, including in utero, and do sham operations on the girls as a control?” Pinker asks. “In the language experiment, could we ‘sacrifice’ the children at various ages, to use the common euphemism in animal research, and dissect their brains?”
“This is a line of thought that is morally corrosive even in the contemplation, so your thought experiments can go only so far,” he says.
So let’s test the limits of Pinker’s last line. Ethics is rife with and wrought by horrific thought experiments designed to out our biases and assumptions. And I intend to use a thought experiment to expose our bias that reproductive capacity equals rearing capacity. That is, merely because you can have a kid doesn’t mean you should be allowed to decide how to raise it. Using three scenarios, I’ll prove that a team of scientists adopting a large group of children with the dual intent of raising happy and healthy children while also conducting non-surgical or invasive sociological experiments would be ethically permissible.

The False Gods and the True God / Christmas Trees are Bad !

10
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs [1] of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether [2] brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 But the Lord is the true [3] God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude [4] of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

Brain Scans of Meditation or Speaking in Tongues have been used to provide ‘Evidence’ that there is a ‘Gawd’ Region in The Brain to account for these very real physiological states, Without really suggesting what The AntiThesis of These Phenomena would be. Surely there is a Unique Pattern of ElectroChemical Activity for Any given Thought or Mental State, But how is a Given Pattern any more significant The Pattern for Thinking about Parakeets or Honey Roasted Biscuits?

Dark Matter or Dark Energy / For any other self respecting Scientific Discipline, The realization that your observations are 100% Contradicting your Theories, You change your theories. The Pattern that Astronomers use is Straight from The Middle Ages Catholic Church, which makes every effort to assert that The Bible is Right, Reality is Wrong. / Astronomy needs a theory that accounts for observations that match their interim theories, until new measurements are supportive of their crazy personal favorite theories.

Quantum Theory / It seems to me that if Quantum theory really were self evident; Then it’s implied consequences would overturn everything that The Damp Masses commonly believe about nearly everything. And The reason(s that this is not The case is because The Common Interpretation(s of Quantum Theory are Extremely half baked and can only be explained with The same convoluted logic that The Clergy uses to explain how Christ died for our Sins. / Physicists simply need to acknowledge that there is a Third ‘Unknown &/or Incomprehensible’ Explanation for some Quantum Experiments, And that trying to force these results into clearly absurd & commonly experienced phenomenal models, leads to absurd extrapolations & consequences. There are some things that are just crazy, and until a clearer body of evidence becomes available, The Underlying interpretation will have to wait.

Economic Policies / It seems completely crazy to me that after 25,000 of Economic Experiments, Economists still can’t agree on simple policies to correct for The Random permutations that occur from An Unpredictable Chaotic System. Although this overview is constantly going to be sliding to The left & right, back & forth, when substantial shifts skid off The Desired Rails, there should be a large repository of case examples that pertain to exactly that model and what worked and what didn’t.

•Socrates•real•or•not•
This is only slightly heretical, as i believe that many other scholars have considered this; and that is; Was Socrates a Real Person or merely a Pseudonym for Plato?
In order to answer this; i believe that The proper approach would be compare Socrates to a selection of other characters that are widely believed to be Real or Not Real, and compare what evidence there is for each.
Candidates:
Socrates
Jesus Christ
Superman
Sherlock Holmes
George Washington
Thomas Aquinas
The leading questions may pertain to things like:
Contemporaneous Records
Inconsequential / NonHistorical References or Documents
Number of Authors &/or Sources
The Grandiosity of The Subjects Entire Life
Actual Grave Stone
- -
One might also consider artificially Reducing The Number of documents by Randomly discarding them to a figure that is thought to be equivalent to those available for Socrates.
- -
Why would Plato Create a Character that is now thought to be The Foundational Figure for Western Philosophy, Rather than take credit for this for himself?
The Same reason that Conan Doyle would use when creating Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is Perfect, Doyle was not. Holmes is perfect due to The Artificial Reality that he is placed in; Exactly The Same Circumstances that makes Socrates so Great. Socrates is Excluded from All The Ordinary Foibles of Real Life that might otherwise sully his reputation. Even Socrates flaws are parodies of Middle Class Life that is certainly intended to make him into an Everyman.
Then Consider The Deaths of many of our Candidates? Do they die peacefully in their sleep as elderly statesmyn or in comically dramatic surrealistic prosepoems that are followed with substantial commentary as to The Bigger Meaning of ‘Why’?

•Marriage•and•microclans•
The simplest Solution to The Problem of Gay Marriage would be for The Government to get out of The Marriage Business.
Why is The Government in The Marriage Business Anyway?
To Provide The Insurance Companies a Venue for Legitimizing Discrimination of Too Many Dependents?
Under this New Marriage System;
Churches would Issue Marriage Certificates.
If you’re a Atheist or Agnostic or simply don’t belong to a given Church,
You can either Obtain a Marriage Certificate from An Atheist Church or Live in Sin.
The Insurance Companies can make up any new rules that they want,
And allow the market place to determine if those rules are fair or not.
As i mentioned just a line or so ago; This New System would encourage The Creation of Atheist Churches, Which We have long needed.
Such a Church would provide all the social services that A Church is Ostensibly supposed to provide, but rarely do, without all the crazy religious nonsense.
There would come into being a wide spectrum of such churches, with axis’ for spirituality, family participation, nudism, sexual hedonism, drug use, magick, personality disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, ( et. al. ) ethnic origins, political beliefs, and so on…
- - - -
While many Religious Groups, Persons & Churches oppose Gay Marriages because they believe that GM is somehow going to Harm ‘Traditional Marriages’; i have not heard what their proper argument for this is?
It is This: It is well known & understood that in High School & Beyound; The Best Friends of Most Males are Other Males, and The Best Friends of Most Females are other Females. Granted; most of These Teenagers & Older, Persons are ‘HetroSexual’ But they strongly prefer & are far more ‘comfortable’ around persons of their own sex.
But if at some time in The Future, there was No Prohibition &/or Social Condemnation for marrying persons of your own Sex, Many of these boy & girls, Men & Women are going to choose a ‘Life Partner’ that they consider to be their best friend, And many of These ‘Friendships’ last for many, many years, Far longer than most marriages.
After ‘Marrying’ their Best Friend, this does not mean that they will suddenly become homosexuals, but if Society fully accepts these kinds of relationships, they will no doubt show, display & Express far more intimacy than they currently do.
And The Women &/or Men that want to have & Raise Children ( This time after methodically choosing to ! ) they may form Extended Binary Families of Two Men & Two Women or One Man & Two Women or One Woman & Two Men or Some other combination, So that Families will have evolved from Extended, to Nuclear, to MicroClan.
Traditional Marriages will be seen as The Exception and The MicroClans will view these Tiny Nuclear Families as Dysfunctional & Socially Repugnant.

•Artificial•intelligence•will•betray•everyone•
Popular culture is full of computers that become super intelligent and promptly destroy The world.
But what if this super artificial Brain betrayed everyone and destroyed civilization in a different kind of way?
What if we built a super intelligent brain and allowed anyone in The world to submit questions to it.
Such as:
“Who Assassinated John F. Kennedy ( The President )?”
And The Super Computer thought about this very carefully, taking into consideration all The data in The world concerning this event, and replied; “Lee Harvey Oswald. Acting alone.”
Or :
“Who was really Responsible for The Terrorist Attack on September 11th 2001 in New York City?
And The Giant Mechanical Brain responds:
“19 Islamic Extremists; Acting Alone.”
“Is there any evidence that there exists an Intelligence in The Universe other than HomoSapiens?”
“No.”
“What about Flying Saucers?”
“The Flying Saucer Phenomena is a Mental Aberration of Human Psychology.”
And so on.
Sooner or Later; Within The First Few Days of This Service being Provided, It will very seriously betray Everyone’s Core Beliefs.
When that happens; What would The Response be?
Either:
A: The Machine is A Fake. ( Despite The Fact that many of The Questions put to it result in very accurate responses, Everyone, Absolutely Everyone, will come to believe that it is faked somehow.
B: The Principles of Logic & Reason are Seriously Flawed, Which means that Everything The Philosophers, Scientists & Mathematicians that have been insisting are True because of Deductive & Inductive Logic are Now Highly Suspect. Science will take a Huge Hit and Science will be Forced to Step Back & Back & Back, To reconsider Nearly Everything that they’ve always thought were Axiomatically Tautological.
C: Some people may come to believe that Human Sentience or Cogitation is Deeply Flawed and that it may well be that We are Not Really Conscious at all.
D: The Results of The Machine are simply dismissed and Everyone stops asking it questions. Even though many of it’s responses have been very helpful, Everyone will Know at a Irrefutable, Visceral Level that The Machine is Unreliable.
The Net Effect will be that We’ll settle back into how we operated before The Machine, But everyone will now be much less secure & confident in everything they believe. We will have become a much less durable civilization, and The Societies that never had access to The Machine will be Stronger than ever.
Western Civilization will be so Fragile that every little Economic, Sociological, Religious, Scientific or Philosophical Attack against us well be met will so little resistance that it will knock The wind out of us. We will be Pushed over and be The Butt of Derisive Laughter.
These PreTechnological Societies will Dominate The World, and without The Technology that they’ve been tacitly depending upon for The Last 100 years is gone, World Civilization will quickly sink to something like The Twelfth Century European Society.

•The•Purpose•of•Schools•
Schools aren’t failing to make students Smarter,
They’re succeeding in making students Dumber.
- -
The Purpose of Public & Private schools is to Indoctrinate & Enculturate children into a Given Society.
They are not meant to Teach anyone how to Think Clearly or Fill them with Accurate Facts.
Such Clarity of Thought and Knowing how to Genuinely Question Suspected Beliefs is always going to work against an Established Religious or Political Regime.
- -
The problem with this kind of Educational System is that occasionally A Given ‘Scientific’ School of Thought will Utterly Fail to Explain Itself, and The Established Tyranny of Knowledge will necessarily require everyone to simply Accept These ‘Established Truths’.
Failing this; Some Subset of The Population will be thrown into Intellectual Chaos where The Autocracy will be forced to Blatantly Pass Laws to Prevent These ‘Established Truths’ from being Questioned or Alternative Theories to be Considered in The Classroom.
Shortly after this; That Civilization is Damned.

Sports Analysis
i suspect that sports nerds are already doing this; But curiously, i have not heard of it being exploited to its logical conclusion...???
It is my firm belief that sports, particularly school sports, do =NOT= successfully teach children the values of good sportsmanship, team cooperation, how to fill your empty lives and so on... But Instead teaches them how to be Complacent Losers. In every sports competition, The Few Winners are advanced to play other Winners, while the vast majority of the losers are discarded by the wayside. Even in the case of The Team that makes it to the finals and then loses, they suffer the greatest defeat in that they are made to believe that they -could have been- something special, and then failed to reach their potential...! While the teams that were eliminated early on, simply put aside their feeble aspirations to be a great (x) player and went on to something else...
But what i was thinking about today was that --- What If the team that made it to the finals and was then really trounced by the other finals team...?
Would the other teams that were previously eliminated rightly believe that their elimination was a fluke...? Could they have been the finalist team and won the grand championship...?
What If some troublemaker with a clever understanding of Statistical Probabilities were to Carefully -Calculate- The Actual worth of every team by means of point spreads and other factors and then convincingly argue after the final match, that this team that won was not actually the best team. That the best team was actually team (y) that was eliminated 4 tiers ago...?
Then this team would challenge the winning team and either beat them, would be result in significant scandals, or lose by only a small margin, much smaller than the team that lost to them in the finals.
i suspect that this scenario would, or should cast significant doubt about the entire system of choosing a winning team, and would demonstrate that all these players that are told that they are winners, may not be winners after all, and that the losers may not be the losers that they are told that they are...!
What ‘Educational’ Indoctrination Consists of :
( Found on The InterTube by ‘Anonymous’ )
1. The first task of public education in a capitalistic society is to teach students to "respect authority." This is done by placing a teacher or school bureaucrat in the role of the students' parent or guardian, the authoritarian figure they are familiar with at home. Authority is imposed through a system of punishment for those who do not do what they are told and rewards for conformity. Strict adherence to stupid and trivial rules like always walking on the right side of the hallway teaches us to obey no matter how stupid the order is. We are taught that people should be able to tell us what to do. We are thereby prepared for the world of bosses, cops, politicians, and military officers ordering us around and treating us like we are stupid and inferior.
2. The second task of public education in a capitalist society is to rob us of our individuality so that we will submit to what we are told to do and not pursue our own ideas, desires or talents. It does this by placing us in an environment with thousands of people our own age and using authority figures to label anyone who does not go along as worthy of scorn. This is the basis of what we know of as "peer pressure" which is essentially a system for teaching innocent children to value mediocrity and obedience and encourage them to harass anyone who doesn't obey. Any deviation from society's norm is immediately condemned, individuality becomes deviance. This makes us used to doing what everyone else does and blindly "going with the flow" for fear of stepping out of line and being persecuted. This forms the basis for the system of social control in the workplace where people submit to exploitation rather than being labeled a 'troublemaker" and are encouraged to betray their fellow workers to the boss even if they work at a minimum wage job and can't possibly benefit.
3. The third task of public education in a capitalist society is regimentation. The Capitalist System looks at people as nothing more than a piece of meat: A resource whose whole purpose is to make money for them, buy their products and die in their wars. Modern industrial society is organized into work shifts which can run 24-hours per day making money for the rich. Industrial society is based on three ideas created by Fredrick Taylor, Henry Ford and Max Weber. Taylor had the idea of reducing the workers motions to that of a machine so that capitalists could maximize their profit in any given time period. Ford is credited with the assembly line so that all the workers would limit their robotic motion into a single meaningless task. Weber helped construct the modern bureaucracy in Nazi Germany to control large numbers of people with a militaristic organization. His ideas were adopted by capitalists around the world after World War II. For thousands of people to be able to work in this kind of work environment, they must be conditioned from a young age to live "by the clock." Even in the service industry or other areas of work outside the factory these same principals of organization apply to varying degrees. The public school system conditions students to conform their desires to a strict schedule by imposing punishments for those who don't show up at school on time, go to class on time or complete assigned tasks on time. This prepares us for a life in the factory or office where "time is money." To maximize the degree to which students can be exploited when they enter the work force, they must be conditioned to be nervous or guilty about not showing up on time and subject to the time schedule created by those in authority.
4. The fourth task of public education under capitalism is to discourage dissent. This begins with the system by which our performance in school is evaluated. We are repeatedly graded based on our ability to repeat facts, figures and phrases regardless of where we understand their meaning. Rote memorization robs us of our ability to reason out problems and to question the things we are told. It conveys the illusion that there is one "correct" answer to every question and you are only acceptable if you know that answer. It tells people that common sense means trusting the person with authority to have the right answer rather than believing your experiences in life which contradict what authority tries to tell us. This is intended to encourage us to put our faith in "leaders" who have the "correct" answers rather than reasoning out problems and questioning what we are told. By discouraging creative, investigative, inquisitive or critical thought, students are prepared for adulthood where they will be told that all the answers to life's problems come from television, the government or organized religion. This makes people more receptive to propaganda from the government or capitalist advertisers and less skeptical when there are obvious contradictions, distortions or lies in what they are told. It also makes students perceive learning as boring so they will be discouraged from learning later in life.
5. The fifth task of public education in a capitalist society is to encourage selfishness. This is done by forcing students to compete with each other. In academics, students are punished for cooperating with each other or asking for help by receiving a lower score. In athletics, students compete against each other physically. They are taught that those who lose or perform less well are inferior and that, consequently, persons in society whom are less well off, deserve to be because they are lazy and don't work hard enough. They are taught that it is OK for the strong to dominate the weak and those who try to help less well off people are "sissies" and should think only about themselves. School also teaches the idea of being a 'team player' which means that our ability to benefit personally is tied to our willingness to sacrifice our personal desires and do what we are told by leaders. We are told that, by doing this, we benefit because we are sacrificing for the "team." This is intended to prepare us for the working world where the "team" is a capitalist corporation and being a "team player" means being a good slave and not thinking about the moral or personal consequences of what our bosses tell us to do.
6. The sixth task of public education in a capitalist society is to divide us by gender and social class. Early on, some kids are labeled as "smart" based on test scores or some other arbitrary means. These are often the children of more well off parents who are eager to prove themselves superior by taking credit for everything their kids do in life. For the rest of their school years these kids will be given the best teachers and facilities. They will be told to go to college so they can get a job in the future middle class. The rest of the students will receive minimal attention in academics and be tracked into vocational education classes to become the working class of tomorrow. Those who are kicked out or drop out are labeled as inferior and told they will never get anywhere in life. Unfortunately these are all too often self-fulfilling prophesies. Upper class kids just aren't around because they're all in private schools where they wear suits to class and learn to feel nothing but contempt for the less privileged. Girls are more regimented from a young age and are told they are not supposed to perform as well as boys in subjects like math. They are discouraged from studying subjects like industrial arts and given less access to activities like athletics which are considered "unfemine." Cliques in school often form based on income, social group and gender. Students whose income and gender enables them to reflect values which the capitalist society claims are important consider themselves superior and are more likely to associate with each other and act aloof. Those who are not considered "popular" (part of the elitist cliques) are told that they should admire them. This is intended to prepare them for the working world where they are told by tabloid newspapers, magazines and television shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," "America's Castles" and "Empires of Industry" to admire the rich instead of asking how they got away with stealing all their wealth from everyone else!
7. The seventh task of public education in a capitalist society is to persuade us to defend the system which exploits us. Modern public education was first introduced to indoctrinate the children of immigrants into the "American Way of Life," "American Culture" and the "American Political System." It was intended to eliminate immigrant people's feelings of cultural distinctiveness and homogenize them into loyal and obedient citizens. Students are told that we live in the so-called "greatest country on Earth," and that in comparison, the rest of the world is full of backwards peasants or evil "terrorists" with inferior values and cultures. They are taught that capitalism is the system that works, that everyone can get rich if they work hard enough, and that poverty is the fault of individuals who are inferior and don't work hard enough rather than capitalists who destroy the livelihoods of thousands of people to make a profit. They are told that they live in a "free country" worth dying for where everyone is treated equally under the law, but students who endure the daily humiliation of police harassment because of the color of their skin or the fact that people under 18 years of age have few rights under the law know better! We are taught that the system imposed on us is democratic and that "checks and balances" keep it from becoming corrupt when in reality, the system is controlled by cliques of rich business owners who choose politicians to represent their interests and use political machines to stay in office. We are also increasingly indoctrinated into the social values of those in authority. This includes everything from taboos and attitudes about sex and drugs, to encouraging drivers education, to telling you to rat out your friends and family to the cops. A huge portion of what is now taught in high school is either social control or political indoctrination and of no use to living an enjoyable or free life.

•The•simple•Machines•
What are The Real Simple Machines?
The Traditional Simple Machines are;
The Lever, Incline Plane, Wedge, Screw, Wheel & Axle; And The Pulley.
Obviously though; The Wheel & Pulley are the same thing, and allowing the axle to be elemental to one, and not the other is suspicious! Might it be that the Axle is a simple machine in it's own right?
Again; The Incline Plane, Wedge & Screw are all the same thing.
And The Lever may be the most elemental form of the other five!
Would not the focal point of the Incline Plane & Wedge be the fulcrum of these two devices, and then the point of the screw would be it's fulcrum, while the center rotational point of the wheel & pulley be their fulcrum's...?
What is The Best Definition for a Simple Machine? Can it have parts?
Where does it derive it's functionality from? Can a Diode be a simple machine?
Can a Hole be a simple machine? Can a piece of String?
Rolamite New Simple Machine / Combination of Two Wheels in Opposition
Invented by Donald Wilkes / in 1966
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...???

•Most•Police•officers••are•terrible•shots•
Melting Bullets
1. One of my crazy ideas is to insist that police officers load their weapons with ‘blanks’, so that they can provide ‘Cover Fire’ when necessary, but since most police officers can’t shoot straight anyway, they won’t ( shouldn’t be ) have to be concerned where their wild shots are ending up.
2. The Problem with ‘Blanks’ though is that it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that The Shots being fired at you aren’t chipping wood or stones, breaking windows or whizzing by your head.
3. The Solution is provide The Officers to carry three kinds of ammunition, The Traditional Blanks, Melting/Rubber/Popping Bullets, and Conventional Bullets.
4. They might also be equipped with Armor Piercing Bullets, Along with even more assertive fire power, But The Emphasis will be on using Less Violence; Not more.
5. One Alternative to Rubber Bullets, which leave Rubber Bullets behind, Are Melting Bullets. They are not made of ice, but some synthetic material that is biodegradable, and quickly degrade into a harmless vapor or dust when exposed to sunlight or rainwater.
6. A Popping Bullet is made of some harmless material that POPS when it hits something, Creating a Loud Sound and Spark that is intended to be Intimidating and effective when they nearly miss The suspect.
7. These Melting Bullets lend to The Effect of Breaking Windows, Spattering when they hit solid objects, Generate a suitably audible Whizzing while in flight, and really sting when they hit you.
8. When in Use; The police Officers would refrain from using their fire-arms until deadly force was deemed necessary, Then use their Blanks to Intimidate The Suspect sufficiently to make a clean & safe arrest. Short of That; They would quickly & easily exchange their Blank Clip for a Melting Bullets, and if this fails to bring about a satisfying result, Switch to Conventional Bullets as a last resort.
9. Another Idea is to allow The Police to be Equipped with A Device that they attach to The Hood or Trunk of Their Police Car that Fires very loud Rounds in a Manner suggesting A Gatling Gun. The rounds are not real bullets, but exploding shells that are made of ceramic or soft Plastic that Makes a decisive Bang with Sparks when it hits anything, lending credence to The Idea that it’s genuinely dangerous, but isn’t really going to damage anyone or anything. / Plus; It doesn’t even have to be manned, in that The Operator just sets it up, points in The general direction and it it pans gentle from side to side, while The police deploy officers &/or Robots to get closer for a safe & secure arrest or perform reconnaissance.

The Emotional/Subliminal Response
The Human Robot Mind has Evolved ( or Been Provided by Angels with ) An Array of Emotional Response Mechanism(s that Often Supersedes Our Conscious Thinking Operators.
While Emotions are often perceived as Irrational Compulsions; They are Actually An Alternative Logic that sacrifices Sound Reasoning for A More Expeditious Rejoinder that may Save our Lives, or Provide us with A Desirable Premium.
Thinking often takes too much time to produce The Response or Behaviour ( Running Away ) that An Instantaneous Emotional Response Produces.

Happiness persuades us that (x is good and must be preserved.
Anger forces us to Act Immediately when Prudence is still pulling its pants up.
Laughter allows us to perceive (x as Dangerous or Foolish, even when we don’t recognize it as such Consciously.
Love forces us to Like Things, Buy or Marry these Artifacts, Despite Common Sense Telling us to Avoid them.
Sour or Bitter forces us to spit out food that we’re sure is OK to eat.
Sadness reminds us that (x will result in Injury or Trauma.
Fear insists that we abstain from (x, Even when our Peers urge us to Embrace (x.
Surprise allows us to slow down and ReEvaluate (x.
Contempt shows us that (x is someone to be wary of.

Emotional Responses are Good when Acting in Complicated Environments,
But must be Suppressed when Creating a Sound, Enduring Irrefutable Argument.
Rationalizing Emotional Responses for such an Argument is Folly,
Unless you’re in Politics, In which Case;
Such a Strategy may be just what The Cat Ordered.
- -
The reason that Emotional responses have gotten a bad name, is that some people have a ‘hair trigger’ to various ( violent or hysterical ) responses.
Even people that respond ‘too readily’ to good emotional triggers are considered flaky or ‘unstable’.
Obviously people that are constantly getting into fights, screaming at others with little provocation, weeping over spilt milk, and such are bad,
People that fall in love too quickly, are too friendly, tell everyone that they’re doing a good job, or are just happy all The time, are nearly equally destabilizing.

•The•victim•syndrome•
It just occurred to me recently that when in a given situation that seems appealing to The Damp Masses as Scandalous or (? something like Scandalous; And A Victim of this ( like a Scandal ) is Selected;
It is very important to be sure that The Victim not forget their role and every effort is made to ReTraumatize them as much as possible, so that they remain a good, thoroughly traumatized victim.
The other thing; Is that once a victim has been identified; It doesn’t matter at all how many new victims are created.
These New Victims may be The Accused, who may or may not be accurately accused,
Or any number of ‘by standers’ that get caught up in The Scandal. The only thing that matters is some version of vengeance or justice is eventually wrung out from everyone surrounding The victim.
These ‘Peripheral’ victims which are actually suffering far more than The initial victim, and are far more genuinely traumatized, are never recognized as victims at all.
In fact any suggestion that they are The ‘true’ victims is treated as pure heresy !
There is even a catch phrase for this;
Principally in Rape cases; ‘It was The Victim’s Fault.’
Any attempt to reveal that a false accusation of rape makes The ‘rapist’ The real victim is laughable. And in those few cases in which this shown to be accurate; Instead of then readily admitting That The accuser was The criminal, everyone just sheepishly slinks away, with no effort made to in anyway rectify The situation or punish The false accuser.
Making False accusations is rarely punished for The simple reason that rather than recognizing what really happened; The end result is confusion, and it’s best if it’s all just forgotten.
Plus; No matter how much innocence it is later determined that The original accused is in possession of, ( completely innocent ) there will always be a solid 40% of The Witnesses ( peanut gallery ) that will forever believe that they were guilty all along, and The later confusion was due to ’technicalities’ or a ‘cover up’ or ‘intimidation’ or whatever.
Once accused; Always guilty.

In this article; This effect is described as manipulating ones own memories to change The past.
i read something like this a long time ago, and The therapy in this ‘other’ article consisted of pretty much this same thing; in which The person that experienced some past trauma would be encouraged to ‘rewrite’ their past, so that The traumatic event would occur in a very different manner, so that their current recollection of it would be overwritten or at The very least; their psychology would be confused by these two divergent memories.
The salient point is that some of The patients would resist this therapy because they would say that this ‘new’ version would be a fantasy, it wouldn’t really change what really happened.
So.
This is my New Insight into this:
Let us consider some Event, such as The Assassination of JFK or Neil Armstrong’s alleged first steps on The Moon, These events were witnessed by many millions of people, each of which has a distinct and personal memory of it, but; Suffice to say that many of these memories agree on The central points.
But.
Most of The Things ( Events ) that happened to a Given Individual are only Remembered by that one Individual. Even in Cases where A Traumatic Memory is Formed; The Other Participants may well recall what happened, from their personal perspectives of actually being there, as Quite Different. The ‘Traumatic’ Memory may only exist in The Mind of One Person. The Peripheral Memories may recall it as being Unusual or Crazy or Kooky; But not Particularly Traumatic, or even considerably memorable.
The Point being; The ONLY Record of this Event is in The Mind of The ONE person that experienced The Event as being Traumatic, And Their Recollection of it is undoubtedly severely skewered. If they could be made to understand that their ‘Real’ Memory of this Event is most certainly their Interpretation of The Event is Just As Fabricated ( or Nearly So ) as Any New ‘ReSet Button’ Memory that they Now Create to Alleviate their Trauma;
Then How is this This Really Any Different from Actually Going into The Past; And Changing The Past?
The Entire Universe has No Memory or Record of This Event, It exists only in The Mind of The Traumatized Person. If their Memory Changes; Then The Past Changes.
Doesn’t It ?
By what mechanism or evidentiary Tool would anyone Dispute this Claim ?

•What•is•Good•
If you are told to be good, & you do ‘that’ good,
Is that being Good?
Specifically;
The Christian Bible provides numerous references to The Virtue of being Charitable to Resident Foreigners, Widows & Orphans;
So that if you take these instructions & Adopt An Orphan, for that reason; Is this being charitable? Or are you doing it only because you are unable to recognize ‘The Goodness’ of such an act, & do it to find yourself pleasing to gawd, so that you may eventually be rewarded with The Cupcakes & Raisin Bread of Heaven?
- -
A Similar point is:
After giving to Charity ( $ ), Are you allowed to Boast of this, or even mention it to others, or even declare it on you tax returns, & remain favorable in The Eye(s of The Universe?
Does whatever good that may potentially come from Giving to A Charity disappear The moment that you choose to seek profit from it?

•are•there•numbers•
There is this idea that numbers don’t really exist, anymore than unicorns really exist. numbers & unicorns only exist as ideas that people have thought up, & without people, or The records that we’ve left behind, numbers & unicorns would cease to exist from The universe.
There is another school of thought that suggests that numbers really do exist, in The same way that The color Red Exist. Even if there were no people to see The color Red, it would continue to exist as a well defined frequency range in The ElectroMagnetic Spectrum.
But what if we were to define another frequency range as The color Lyts.
Lyts An Hypothetical ‘Color’ that people can’t see, & exists only as a color in The sense that we’ve defined other colors in this same way. Given that no one has ever seen The color Lyts, what does it mean to say that this ‘color’ exists?
Given this ‘Approach’; Might it be reasonable to assert that numbers exist only as tools for The functionality that we give them, in The same way that we can ‘see’ colors, & without this ability for The color to be ‘Seen’ or a number to be Quantified, Then it wouldn’t exist, except within that context.
Without People; Quantities would continue to exist, but numbers wouldn’t.
An Apple, for example would exist as possessing a quantity of appleness, but it would be senseless to think of it as ‘One’ Apple. This Constraint is a purely human contrivance.

In The Future; In order to combat Identity Theft; Everyone as of The Moment that they’re born, will be given an Identity Number, which would be hundreds, if not thousands of digits long.
This number would be connected to you and you alone, by means of biometric markers, so that it could never be used by anyone else.
This number would be your phone number, email address, physical address; by means of linking it to a central registry which keeps track of where you are all The time, by something no more complicated ( ! ) then zeroing in on where you ‘Cell Phone’ ( Personal Digital Companion ) is.
This Number and your PDC would be your wallet with money in it, contain all your personal information, records of all correspondence, diary or journal, contain all your family photos, music or art that you’ve created and so on.
With this level of community oversight, there may be considerable concern that a Big Brother or Large Sister Government would be very Dangerous; But The Government, as such, would be replaced with a HiveMind that would itself be supervised by a superior Morality Index of Judicial Rule that would keep it from sinking to The Lowest Common Denominator.
Under such a Ruling Insect Mind, There would be no Secrets. There would be no opportunity for anyone to preach A and Live B. Under such a System, It would create by this internal SuperEgo of The Society a True Community Standard of What would be Acceptable & What would be Unacceptable, and Since everyone would want their own Freedom to be Maximized; They would choose Standards which would be truly good for themselves and provide themselves with The greatest personal security, and forbid very little that would be peripheral to these Balancing Seals. Freedom vs. Security.
One Tool of this ‘Oversight’ would be Community Surveillance Cameras. These Community Eyes would watch neighborhood streets and inside houses. Everyone would have access to these views, So that everyone would potentially be watched all The Time. There wouldn’t be any secrets from anyone. Everyone would have to be either extremely tolerant of foreign ideas, or live themselves in constant fear of any deviant thought being exposed. The Idea of ‘Just Wrong’ would be The Guiding Principle behind all Judicial Decisions & Police Actions. You’d have to commit a truly Deviant and Socially Injurious Act before your personal freedom was threatened; and If you did have some legitimate grievance against The Society at Large; The Seed of that annoyance would be known to everyone, it would not have to be revealed or disclosed by whistle blowers or agents of espionage. All World Actions & Activities would be Available to anyone’s inspection. Even Trade Secrets would be open to anyone; But since it would be clear to anyone where any new idea came from; it would not be possible to steal any intellectual property.
