Resumé Supplement

i've already worked up a few of these lists of opinions and such...
Is this one any different... ??? i don't know if it is or isn't...
--But i have a compulsion to keep making more of them...!!!

Inarticulated list of ideas that may change the world...???

Various Entirely Reasonable Beliefs

WeirdOrTrue...???
Various Positions

Hawai'ian Observations

Various Topics

More Unsorted Considerations

TwentySix Questions
...

If you can think of anything that i've left out...
Be sure to eep me and ask about it...!!!

Work History

i can't recall ever having a real job...???
i was in the Navy for awhile, and flunked out of two 'A' Schools...
One for Chinese, and one for Morse Code...!!!
People are still speaking Chinese, but no one is using Morse Code anymore.
Then i did a bunch of 'Day Labor' jobs... Most notibly in Berkeley California.
i tried it again in seattle, but i kept being turned away for various incomprehensible reasons...???
Of all these 'Day' jobs... i think of any one that resembled a real job...???
Oh! There was this one job that i had for a few months... Near Berkeley...??? Harvesting Bean Sprouts...!!! There were some production problems, that for some reason, management wasn't as eager to solve as i would have liked...??? So i quit after a few months...

Sexual Preferences

i'm not exactly Hetrosexual or Homosexual...
And i'm not exactly 'Bi' or Celebate...???
i usually refer to myself as a Monosexual, that fantasizes of women or within the context of women... while masturbating.
When i've actually been with women, i do not become sexually aroused.
i find them comforting, and generally feel very relaxed around women, much more so then men, whom i do not like being around-- ( usually ) ( in fact i usually don't like being around either men or women, but when i'm around women, i'm more relaxed than when i'm around men, unless they're smokers, and then i want to slash at them with a light saber! ) --But i don't 'react' to them in a sexual manner. There have been some 'odd' exceptions, but they were so odd that i couldn't figure out what was odd about them, before they disipated...!!!
So -- my idea of a fun time; with a lady person, would be to get naked and tickle each other!
( Tickling in this context is gently touching and rubbing ( ??? ) )
-Or- just sitting around and watching t.v.

Am i Crazy?

The general definition of 'being crazy' is that the crazy person believes things that no one else believes. If this is it; then it applies to me.

Have i Been Abducted ( By The Flying Saucer Bugs ) ?

i made up a list when i was in Bremertowne of all the things that might make someone believe that i'd been abducted by the walking fish people, or thier ilk...
i've forgotten what was on the whole list... But here are a few:

1) at one time, i had a pair of shoes, and the left shoe had to be regularly relaced because one lace side was forever becoming shorter than the other...??? !!! i would wonder; If this is a natural phenomena; when is it happening...??? Not when i'm wearing them, because they are tied then, and can not gravitate in one direction or the other... and certainly not when they are off my feet, and under the bed...! The only other explanation is that when i'm being abducted by the bug people, they are messing with my shoe laces... because 'That's what they do...!!!'
2) i used to get this weird 'feeling' in the back of my throat, and then as part of a 'job interview'... ( ??? ) - [ Maybe how THIS came about is the strangest part...??? ] ...i went to have it looked at by an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist and he took some X-Rays, and they showed that i had several Hollow Spots in my Nasal Cavity, and this was probably causing my occasional breathing, swallowing trouble... AND that these hollows are Caused by DENTAL WORK...!!! { Somehow Indirectly } -- The thought that i had was that these hollows were the effect of alien transmiters having been removed ( obsolete ones...??? ) -- But that these Ear, N & T doctors see this ALL The TIME...!!! And came up with this cockamamie explanation, just so they could have something to tell their patients...???

3) i have felt for along time that i belong 'Somewhere' else.
4) When i was little, i used to sleep walk quite a bit, and then;
While i was out one night, after hitchhiking along the coast of Washington, i couldn't find a good place to sleep, so i just laid down outside a library is some town ??? north of Olympia, ( just after having a bigfeet experience...!!! ) and i 'woke up' some unspecified time later, as a stumbled over a railroad track...!!! i didn't know where i was, and how to get back to the library, where my pack was... so i just started wandering around, and somehow things worked out... i don't think i went back to sleep that night...
Was i abducted that night...??? Was i routinely abducted as a child...???
5) ...

Religion

i was raised ( ??? ) as a Lutheran, then i tried Daoism for awhile, then switched to Zen-Dada-Daoism, then Dada-Zen-Daoism, then joined The Babynous Cult... And now i'm a member of The Riders of The Golden Hamster. Who believe that Everything is Wrong, and that this reality is a Screen Saver for The Universe One Layer Up. The Ξ.6 Controllers are The Mischievious Angels of this reality that shape it for their own -incomprehensible- agenda.

Clubs

i was once a cub-scout for about 2 weeks. Then the cub master had nervous breakdown, and i didn't relocate.

i never paid any 'dues' to the HP48 club, but we met once a month, and i quit after about 4 years, becuase the cub master was a jerk and never let anyone else contribute anything.
i went to one meeting for Roboticists... But i wasn't actually building robots at that time, and all the robots they had... ( none, if i recall correctly! ) ...were really lame, in conceptuality...!

Favorite Books

The Tao is Silent: By Raymond Smullyan

Favorite Films

Eraserhead: By David Lynch ( before he Sold Out...!!! )

Special Skills

Asperger's and Autistic people are supposed to have special; Usually Weird, Special Skills... Such as tearing animal silhouettes from construction paper... But i can't do anything like that...??? But i can draw things really well... and that's a special skill... But it's not very weird...??? ( ! ) Perhaps this is why it was so easily overlooked...???

Recreational Narcotics

Just Coffee.
Other than Cigarettes, i am pretty sympathetic of anyones desire to destroy their temple of gawd with chemical acids and such... Why the hell not... If you want to.
It's just that i don't.

Controversial Topics

Text

Abortion

Women should have 'the right to chose' and choose not to.
It's obvious to me that an abortion is killing a human being; But is that wrong... Who knows...???

Transluminous Velocities

Faster than Light Travel...??? Sure! i would be VERY FAWKING SURPRISED if, 300 years from now, ( or 100 years...??? ) we still weren't traveling faster than light...!!! And Anti-Gravity... Absolutely...!!!
These sorts of things are so NOT UNDERSTOOD at this time, that it's really VERY SILLY to suggest that they're impossible.
Is it True that 'Anything is Possible' or that 'Only Possible Things are Possible'.

i tend towards; Only Possible Things are Possible... But the limiting variable is whether we can concieve of 'it' or not...???

Technology

Computers are Evil. Or it may just be that the ones that we have access to are Evil-- But the good ones, that will come after Western Civilization collapses will be OK. There are just Sooooo Many things about computers that are really dumb, that i can't believe... You will Never Make me Believe that they are 'That Way' because of general dumbness... It is only by way of some organized force that computers are as frustrating and as stupid as they are. Sometimes i think that this is Bad... And at other times, i think that these forces are doing what they believe to be Good... Because if genuinely useful and functional computers were available, the world would end in a single day. ( ??? )
Pretty much the same with Robots.
Pretty much the same with AI. All the fears of an AI Robot taking over the world... That just seems like a forgone conclusion. i can't imagine it happening any other way... and as such, maybe it is a GOOD THING that 'Expert Systems' are being supressed.

Capital Punishment

If it's wrong to kill people, then you shouldn't kill people.

C. P. teaches crimminals and children that it's alright to kill people. If only your reasons are good enough...! i've been thinking for some time now that a really good defense for murder would be that the killer used all the same criteria that the state uses when it murders someone, and thus; they should be let off.
One argument that i often hear made, by religious fanatics, of all people, FOR Capital Punishment, is that it's so expensive to hold 'really bad people'...
It seems to me that the same argument applies here as it would for FreeSpeech, and that is; You have to abide by Ugly Speech when Tolerating Free Speech, and you have to abide by Bad People, when you have a superiour moral notion that people's lives are important or valued or somesuch... That point is kind of vague with me actually... But i think it's ANNOYING that The State, using all it's resourses and Wisdom, finds Capital Punishment to be the most judicious solution...???
When Presidential Canadate Michael Dukakis was asked if he would support the death penalty for someone that murdered his wife and daughter... it seems entirely reasonable to me that he would be allowed to strangle the murder himself...!!! But that's not the position of The State... The State has the time & luxury to be more circumspent & impassionate... It is one thing for a person to be filled with murderous rage or even to enjoy a recreational spree of sexually motivated canbalistic lunches... But it is quite different for a Politial State to thoughtfully & Deliberately, over a period of years, to murder a complete stranger, for no apparent reason at all, except to fullfill the necessity of bureaucratic obligation.

Vegetarianism

It's wrong to kill cows, but i eat hamburgers anyways.
Killing to eat is an unmistakable element of nature, but the mechanistic slaughter of millions does seem morally wrong.

Minority Considerations

Are some Racial groups smarter than other racial groups? Probably.
But what can you do with that information, even if it's true? Nothing.
Such statistical factiods would apply only to groups, not individuals.

Assisted Suicide

If i could somehow murder someone, and have it be legal.
How can you argue against that?

Education

The Schools aren't failing to make children smarter,
They are succeeding in making they stupider.
i hate the public school system.
School Vouchers have so many attributes to favor them,
That let us consider only what are percieved to be their failings, or who is it that wants them to fail...
The established private schools that don't want poor black children attending them... Entry Requirements should be able to protect them.

The State shouldn't fund private religious schools. The separation of Church and State is to protect students from endoctrination against their will, not from a foundation of moral & spiritual instruction.

The Public School system would go broke. So be it.
It's just crazy that rich children can go to expensive bad schools, while poor children are forced to go to free bad schools. On the off-chance that some children, both rich and poor, will be able to find a school that is deticated to their speical needs and futures, then it has to be better than a system that is created to destroy the futures of all children.
How the world, &/or The United States has gotten as far as it has, it due, almost in it's entirety, to children that have been homeschooled.

Taboos

The Best Taboos are the ones that you can't even name.

Utopian Dreams

Giant Mechanical Ants, Small Villages, No Cars, No Cigarettes, Floating Electroplastic Brains, Knowledge Kiosks, Masturbation on Television.

Global Warming

When i was in grade school, ( everything they taught us was lies ) ( But-- ) they told us that we were at the tail end of the last ice age, and as such, the natural environmental temperature was lower, now-- than it 'should' be... taking eon length scales into effect... So it seems to me, that global warming will just bring us back up to where we're supposed to be, a little bit sooner.
Also: i would like to see us burn up all the fossil fuels as quickly as possible.

Puzzles

i hate store bought puzzles.
The best puzzles are the ones without solutions.

Science

Science is broken.
Are you a Gullible Skeptic, Skeptically Gullible or A Naive Wonderer?

Politics

"Everything is Political." { Che Guevara } ???
Politics is the Agenda of Lies.

What is Art?

The trouble with saying that Everything is Art-- ( Including the things that Gawd has made ) is that then there are no Counter Examples;
and as such: The original proposition / desired definition, looses all meaning--
But everyone does have an intuitive / tacit / visceral understanding of What is Art... And counter examples that are -Clearly- Not Art...!
Even i have opinions of What is Not Art...!
But i'm also reluctant to espouse what those things are...!
Consequently; i will instead suggest that The Quality of Artiness is a Property that everything possesses, in varying Quantities.
Artiness is a Continuum; Not a Dichotomy.

Is it Ethical to Own Pets?

No; But you can have one as a Room-mate.
And you might also be reasonably 'aware' that they need your baleful & responsible care to survive in this artificially alien world.

Quixotic Beings

Fairies and such...
Absolutely.

Gay Marriage

The Solution for Gay Marriage is for the government to get out of the Marriage business!
Alternately: Churches would issue marriages based on their own criteria, and create their own licenses, then the united couple would take this document to the county registrars office where they would make a digital copy of it and put it in their records.
Could some churches and licensed free-lance/unaffliliated clergy of unique/fringe cults allow men & women to marry chickens, televisions & unsubstanciated invisiible beings...
Sadly; Yes... or -- Maybe not so sadly... ???

Obvious Untruths Or: Things that are Exactly Wrong

i've been interested in a category of phenomena for along time,
Which i call :
Obvious Untruths.
These things overlap, or are grouped under perhaps, or contained as a subset of,
Another Group of Phenomena that are know collectively as :
Things that are Exactly Wrong.
Within one, or both, of these sets, is another category that is nearly synonomous with
Things that are Exactly Wrong;
And this set of Phenomena has been labeled :
Things that are 180 Degrees Quirky from True.

Such things are:
1) Red Hair
2) The Hammer & Feather Falling Demonstration
3) Anything a Politician Says
4) Anything a CEO Says
5) Quantum Theory
6) What Electricity is
7) What Magnitism is
8) How Lightning Works
9) How Tornadoes Work
10)

Do you know of anymore...?
i would like to collect a large list of them...
---
Obviously--
Obvious Untruths should be Obvious, once they've been 'Suggested' or 'Pointed Out'--
But very often;
Some Dunderhead like me will not 'Catch-On' quite as quickly as you might hope,
So please include a short 'Arguement' that outlines the Phenomena itself, and why the general perception of it by The Damp Masses is Exactly Wrong...!
---
Thanx!

Do Angels Arrange Things...???

If your as crazy as most other 'happy' people,
Then you believe, as they do, that most things happen because they were arranged,
Either by Gawd, Angels, Aliens, Xi-6 Controllers or The Hive Mind
( that goes by many different names... )
Only Sane, Unhappy People believe that the world's events & it's accompanying humanimal circumstances are the results of Chaotic Circumstances, Initiated at the beginning of The Universe, some 14 Billion years ago...

i think that the most benign, and reasonable explanation for most circumstances is that they were arranged by Angels.
These Angels are NonDenominational, and Amoral.
They do not act on our behalf because they want us to be happy,
But because it is The Pure Act of meddling in the affairs of others is what pleases them the most.
While our 'meaning' derives from the consequences of these arrangements,
Their 'meaning' derives from the randomly that ensues from the arrangements that they create to further shape the universe in a manner that, even they, do not know is for what ultimate purpose.
They are victims of The Hive Mind ( Single Autonomous Monad ) just as we are,
But they are closer to the source, but some infinitesimal amount.

The Evidence:

1. As a consequence of my Asperger's/Schizoid Personality Disorder, i rarely talk to anyone, and since i've been on this latest adventure, chiefly to Hawai'i, i have talked most extensively to 4 young women, 3 of which initiated the conversations, and of these three, all three had the most astonishingly horrorible teeth. Of all the people that i have ever met, these three women had the worse teeth that i can recall. And more curiously, of those three, two of them discussed their teeth-- The last one, talked of nothing but her teeth...!!! (???)
2. The other day; i got up from a park bench to catch a bus and in so doing, i caught my bus-pass on some protrusion on the bench and tore the wrist bracelet off...! i like to wear my bus-pass on my wrist while i'm waiting for a bus, so that i don't have to fumble around looking for it, and so i don't loose it. As soon as i'm on the bus, i'll return it to the pocket that i keep it in, on my back-pack. This system has proven itself to be very reliable. So it was very annoying when i broke it. So i went over to _Longs Drugstore_ and found several variations on this buspass holder, but none of the exact kind that i wanted...!!! Then i found one, exactly like the one i'd broken, and had become familiar with... crazy people hate to change things like this...!!! So i was thinking, where did this come from... and i couldn't find anymore like it...!!! That one that i found was the only one like it amoung the displayed bus-pass holders... But this is not the crazy part... The crazy part came several hours later when i was on the No. 14 bus, and a middle aged man got up from his seat, and in so doing, somehow caught his watch on something... ( ??? ) and it popped off...!!! and more so, he didn't realize that it had popped off...!!! ( ??? ) [!] The guy that was sitting near by noticed it, and although the watch landed right under his seat, he was in an inappropriate position to retrieve it... so i did, and returned it to the very unobservant victim. It may be that you would see these two events as completely unrelated, but for me, they follow a central principle of design verification that i often use in my drawings... ( Interiour Landscapes ) ...and that is: to make the appearance of one thing in the drawing 'Valid' by repeating the same shape, colour, or some attribute, at another place in the drawing. By doing this; the repetition demonstrates that neither occurrence was 'random' or 'accidental' but each Validates the other....! This is what the angels were doing when they popped the watch off the bus rider... they were saying, we broke your bus-pass holder, and we popped off this strangers watch, just to show you that we're still controlling your life. ( ??? ) How often has either event like this happened in my life previously? ( Never! )
3. My Programmable Calculator crashed a few days ago... When this happens, it simply doesn't start up... However; It will show signs of life... sometimes ...by displaying either large black blocks, or randomly distributed lines, usually vertical, across the screen. No attempt to reset the calculator seemed to work. i tried ON-C & On-D & On-E... and Even On-A-F...!!! Which is intended to clear the memory...!!! But none of these techniques worked... i then tried taking out the batteries... for a few minutes, and then a few hours... and it still refuse to 'come back'... i even tried to reset it by pushing in the reset button that is hidden under a foot-pad on the back... ( this has never worked for me, but others think that it does...??? ) so i finally took the batteries out and was going to wait until the next day to put them back in...! But i instead only waited for about 4 hours, and then when i put them back in, it came right on like it had never even had a stomach cramp...!!! No Memory was lost...!!! ( i have left the batteries out for over 24 hours before, and it had come back with No Memory lost... ( and this is memory that needs batteries... No like the memory in my Camera's memory card...??? ) So what does that mean...??? The last time it behaved like this, i was thinking about ( and did ) leave The Big Island, to come to Oahu. This time, i think it might have been jealous of my new Cell Phone... It crashed along time ago, right after i got my computer... so i think that it may be sensitive to emotional changes in MY life...!!! ( Angels come in many different Shapes & Sizes... and doesn't the Bible warn us to be nice to all strangers, as they may be Angels InCognito...??? ) { Flies are another shape that Angels like to take on... }

Have You Ever Been a Victim of...

Are you now; Or Have You--
Ever Been a Victim of Angelic Street Theatre...???

What do i mean by this?
---
First Off--
Do you ever think about what you're going to say?
Well-- i never do!
i'm listening right along with everyone else whenever i say anything,
or type anything...!
For Typing... i think i have a vague idea of what i'm about to type,
But mostly, Especially when i'm writing Haiku's or Dada Prose,
What i write or type is appearing before me as if i were standing off to one side...!!!
The same applies, and More Especially, This applies to Drawing...!
Whenever i'm Drawing, i'll pick out a photo to work from, as a starting point,
and then as i proceed more and more into it's details, things will appear on the paper as if someone else were controlling the content...!
This effect is so pronounced, that whenever i try to 'Think-Up' or 'Plan' on drawing something,
It Never seems to turn out nearly as well as the Spontaneous ones...
---
But when i'm referring to Angelic Street Theatre--
i'm thinking of something else...!
For anyone to be a victim of AST...
You have to be out & about, in a reasonably public environment,
and then:
1) Do or Say Something that Is TOTALLY Unexpected...
2) This Action will be directed at a Total Stranger ( usually )
3) This Action will consist of a Momentary Event,
that will last for a brief time.
The functionality of The AST will be that Some Angel will need a Optically Opaque Object to occupy a specific spatial location and either 'Do Something' or 'Say Something' for the Benefit of The Humanimal ( or such ) that they are supposed to be 'Looking After'...
And you just happened to be there when they needed that someone...!
Do these 'Occupations' of your body infringe on your Autonomy...???
Do they Violate your Personal Space...???
Do they Freak You Out...???
Usually; These Occupations will occur in situations that will have no long term consequences for you-- People that you know & would potentially be Shocked or Confused by your Unusual Action/s) are not present, and will not hear about this Event, Unless of course; you tell them!
What can be done about it, If you want them to Stop...!!! ( ??? )
Probably Nothing...
It's just the price you pay for existing in this Universe.

1. The Nine Point Problem
   This Puzzle was originally designed to determine if the gamester has the ability to;
   'Think-- Outside of The Box?'.

   'Think outside of the box, That the box came in...!'

The Nine Point Puzzle

This is a fairly old Puzzle that sets before the gamester a collection of Nine Points--
Whether they are mathematical points of no width or heighth,
or whether they are drawn points, tiny; such as those like a 'Period' is generally not revealed.
This distinction may be useful for solutions that require only 3 lines.
The Nine Points are Arranged like so:
. . .
. . .
. . .
While connecting The Nine Points with 5 lines is simple for most humanimals,
The Puzzle askes you to solve it by connecting all Nine Points with Four Lines...!
After solving this; i wondered--
Is there a solution for Three Lines...
Then Two Lines;
( Which is the trickiest...
Considering that for each solution,
One is looking for a Unique Approach... ! )
And Then One Line.
The One Line Solution is The Most Elegant...!
Once you have the tools, and insights from solving The One Line Solution;
Is there a Zen -- Zero Line Solution...!!! ( ? )
Yes...!
Finished with this;
Is there an Elegant 6, 7, 8
&/or 9 Line Solution(s...???
---
The Solutions: ( In Invisible Ink...!!! )
The Solution:
Sadly there are no accompanying illustrations, so you'll just have to read carefully...
The Three Line Solution Requires that The the top three points are connected with a line that stretches off into Infinity, As do the middle three points, and the bottom three points.
This also assumes that parallel lines meet at infinitity, which allows the lines to merge and return to the parameters of the puzzle!
If The Points have actual dimensions, then; It is possible to draw the connecting lines so that they just edge through the top of the first point, pass through the middle of the middle point, and then scratch past the last point, such that the line is at a discernable angle, and it doesn't have to extend to infinity before returning to the next line of points...!
The Two Line Solution is placed on a Inversion grid...!!! So that at the very middle of the paper is a point that represents the coordinates (0,0). Then a circle is drawn around this, it's edge represents the radial quantity of One. Such that any and all points inside the circle; such as ( .2,.6) has an Inversion Equivalency Point-- Outside the Circle. These aren't just mirror points, they are the SAME point, in Inversion Space...!!! Once this is established, The Nine Points are ploted so that the middle three points are drawn along the circles edge, while the lower three points converge at the center... meaning that the top three points are found at the outter edge of infinity...!!! The first line tranverses curved space to cut through the middle three points, then takes a tangental 90_degree turn towards the center, passes through it, which means that it simultaneously cuts through the top three points at infinity.
This is the Weakest Solution... Can you discover a better one...???
The One Line Solution:
This the most Elegant. Twist ( Slightly Offset ) and Roll the paper into a cylinder-- Then connect The Nine Points with One Line, So that the result resembles a Barber Pole!
The Zen: Zero Line Solution-- Simple fold the paper over and over upon itself, so that all The Points are occupying the same vertical ( Dimensionless ) space.

The Wretched Homeless... [ ! ]

What is to Be Done with The Wretched Homeless... { ? }

It seems like every few days, there is a story on The Radio or in The NewsPaper--
Concerning the plight of The Homeless, or Their effect on the Tourists Here in Hawaii.
---
When i was here about 17 years ago,
there were hardly any Homeless People,
and as such, those that were here,
were a Jolly lot of Friendly & Mentally Disturbed Lunatics that cavorted in The Parks and Shopping Centers, with nary a sidelong glance or grimace.
---
Now--
The majority of The Homelesss are The Displaced Middleclass UnEmployed,
Who are Bitter, Confused & Angry about their lives & perpetually wondering;
"What am I to do?"
And most of them; Because they're wading through The Shallow End of The Damp Masses,
Have No Idea what to do.
---
Every once in awhile;
Someone will come along with A Solution to this problem...
( Most of us Daoists see that Reality itself is The Problem,
Everything within That Reality is Exactly What it Is. )
But these Solutions Invariably fail because they depend on a Top-Down Attitude of Altruism.
---
Altruism will always fail for any long term problem;
For the Simple reason that The Humanimals Administering the Programs that are inflicted on The Destitute,
Will become Disillusioned & Inattentive because The Chattel that they are supposed to be helping--
Do not appreciate their Help...!
Or -- The resources that are being inflicted upon The Destitute are a poor match for what they really need.
---
It's complicated.
---
But a much better "Approach" --
Is to attack this, or any other humanimal oriented problem...
Not with Caramel coated Altruism...
But with The Harsh Application of Infinite Greed --
Applied by Thoughtful Ogres well schooled within The discipline of Perfect Egotism.
---
For a long time now;
i've been trying to come up with a New & Improved Adage to replace the Worn Out & Ill Conceived
"Do unto Others, As you would have Others- Do unto You."
Superficially;
This would imply that Masochists should torment & abuse their neighbors & coworkers.
And who Isn't a Masochist these days...!
---
The Replacement Adage should turn instead to The Fundamental Nature of Humanimals themselves,
So that they Aren't Expected to do anything that they're not Biologically Programmed to do.
Very often;
We see our Society & Culture trying to ReShape People to fit some cockamamie scheme of Artificial Rules & Legal Constraints that only the most Intellectually gifted Masochist can comprehend the subtlies of.
---
What we need is a set of simple rules that Do Not Coerce The Damp Masses into Behaving Themselves,
But gently ReMind them to follow their own Desires...
But in a slightly more thoughtful manner,
So that Rather than experiencing Emotional, Sexual or Fiscal Gratification for only a few moments,
They can Reap the Rewards of these Indulgences for Days, Weeks or Years thereafter. ( ! )
---
To do this;
One must only see The Elemental & Intuitive Logic
of Perfect Egotism & Infinite Greed.
---
Just as a Sphere is like a Circle, only more so.
And a Cube is like a Square, only filled out.
So it is that Perfect Egotism is like Normal, Profane Egotism, Only without the sharp edges.
And Infinite Greed is like the Rough & Severe Greed that is so very often thought of as a Sin...!
...But Taller, & with A Nice Straight Part Across The Side.
Greed is The Desire to Breath Fresh Air,
Greed is an Uncompromising Kiss on the cheek of a baby,
Greed is a puppy rolling in the Sun.
Infinite Greed is a Puppy Rolling in The Sun Forever.
--
The most easily perceived difference between Ordinary Greed & Infinite Greed--
Is that Infinite Greed is meant to last forever.
--
Ordinary Greed is Commercially Overpackaged Batteries or Cheese & Crackers.
Ordinary Greed is Wasteful Opulence.
Ordinary Greed is a Failure to Use ones Resources to their Full Potential.
---
So--
This is where The Problem of The Homeless comes in.
We should Not be giving them A Bowl of Thinly Flavored Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch or providing them with Plastic Sheets to hang over branches that they may Sleep under...
NO!
Even the most Crazed & Incoherent Lunatic that roams the streets,
Is successful at scrounging through Garbage Cans and staying out of The Freezing Rain with sufficient competence to annoy Shopkeepers and BusDrivers for months on end.
Administrators With Sickly Piles of Wealth need to affirm these Self-Sarters as A Unique & Valuable Resource that may be Exploited for The Benefit of everyone-- Shopkeepers, Busdrivers & The Homeless themselves!
---
As such;
Any solution that is devised, Will necessarily have to be custom fitted to Each Homeless Person.
A Generic Solution;
So often tried in the past, and seen to fail, over and over again, will not work.
--
The Sage that embraces Infinite Greed & Perfect Egotism must see that Diversity is The Granitish Bedrock of an Enterprise that will Resist Viruses that may Attack A Specific & thinly distributed Weakness.
---
That's what Evolution tried to teach us.
---
To touch on Perfect Egotism;
This is like the soiled version of Egotism in that it pertains to The Individual,
But this Perfectly Aspiring Individual wants to be considered The Center of The Universe.
Perfect Egotism necessitates that The Individual Never Surrender his ( or her ) Autonomous Centricity for The Good of The Community!
The Good of The Community rises out of The Holistic Representation of Each Autonomous Individual Asserting their Own Desires & Needs upon The Whole.
It is only when the individual elements of a society give up their well-being to support an influential minority* that that society becomes unbalanced & falls over.
[ * Normally; The Rich-- but occasionally, The Politically Savy ]
---
That's what Evolution tries to teach us.
In the grand scheme of Evolution;
There is a continuing undulation of lives that wax & wane throughout the aeons of time,
But always;
It is the Grand Totality of Life that survives in all its majesty at any given moment.
--
Contrary wise;
When Political Systems corrupt this balance,
and fall,
there is often nothing left to lift themselves up & continue on.
Again & again; Cultures have collapsed,
Huge & Magnificent Cities Abandoned,
And Entire Races of people dispersed and forgotten.
---
The Solution for a Nominal Social Existence
is To Simply to Embrace Your Own Selfish Interests over All Others
While You Intelligently & Greedily Exploit The Weak & Vulnerable
as Nature Intended.

Dreary Considerations : Introduction

Tenebrous Nous

- - - - - - - - - - - -

This is a special section dedicated to those deeply troubled thoughts,
considerations, sagacities, deliberations & follies
that-- i would like to believe --are
an elemental component of everyones most recessive Id's.

So don't be so judgemental when you discover
how disturbing my normally secret
perspicaciousness tends towards.

Generally Darkish Thoughts...

It's taken me awhile to get going on this topic area...
So i'll just fill in some Generally Darkish Thoughts now,
so that it'll have something at least, until i start to fill it in...

1. Smokers
   i grew up around a family of smokers, and all during that time,
   And now, Perhaps more so...!!! i was and am, a FANATICAL ANTISMOKING NAZI...!!!
   i would like to Slash at them all with a Light Saber...!!!
   This is my usual responce to just about every frustration i have...
   Slash at anyone within striking distance, with a Bright, Neon Red, Light Saber.
   The Great thing about a consequental remains from a Light Saber, i would imagine, would be that all the smaller arteries would be cauterized, so that severing mere limbs would be nearly liquid free.
   
2. Terrorism
   i think that Terrorism is an Entirely Reasonable Response for Minority Individuals &/or Groups to utilize when The Central Authority has Denied them their Elemental Rights by means of The Courts, or even A Free Press.
   This; By the way, is an excellent example, Demonstrating the Lack of A Free Press in this [ The USA ] Country...!!! When was the last time you saw or heard of some Minority Group, that was later Trampled Over, Able to express their views in a Local or National Forum...???
   They are shut out.
   And consequently; Their only reasonable venue for Free Speech, is to blow stuff up.
   
3. How to Build your Own Cruise Missle
   It seems to me that it would be very easy, using a small computer, a GPS reciever and a few pounds of black market Plastic Explosive ( or Make Your Own from recipes found on the internet ) -- Then load that all onto a reasonably enlarged Hobby Kit Glider ( Made from BalsaWood, that would be harder to detect with RADAR ) with an electric &/or rocket engine... and Voila!, you've got a Cruise Missile.
   The curious thing about this; If it is so easy, and i can't see how it couldn't be, then why aren't the masses of disenfranchised using them...???
   
4. Robot Assassins
   This is undoubtedly the main reason why Robots are being suppressed...!!!
   With my idea, you'd build a robot around a small rock, say generally roundish, about 6_inches long, and put legs on it.
   i think that any Robot on Wheels is a Cheat! and unworthy of being called a Robot.
   So this would have retractable legs and little tiny holes for video, and a Cell Phone to transmit infomation to it's controller... And the gun. ( it would be a little autonomous, but mostly, in this incarnation, it's acting as a remote servant ).
   Then you'd simply heave it over a fence or wall into the area where the potential victim lives, and then walk it over to a good spot, at night, possibly during a rain storm. Rain Storms are terrific for keeping prying eyes away from mysteriously wandering boulders.
   Then you'd wait for a good shot, and take it.
   Why don't we see this sort of thing happening all the time...???
   Maybe it does, and the Media is suppressing it, to reduce the number of copycats, or maybe The Time Travelers from The Future are nipping it in the bud...???
   
5. Another Version of A Robot Assassin
   This one would hidden away, waiting, patiently waiting, waiting for months, or years for someone important to come along... The POW!
   Where to hide a Sleeper Assassinating Robot...
   In one of the kewl boxes on the top of a building, with a Stenciled Warning: DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE: KEEP CLEAR
   Or underground, in an vacant lot...
   Or inside a piece of furniture, in an apartment, overlooking a square where politicians occasionally give speeches...???
   Then: When the time is ripe, it pops out of it's turtle like enclosure, and POW!
   
6. Robot Airplane Assassinators...!!!
   i think that you should be getting the idea by now...
   Why isn't anyone using these...???
   It seems very mysterious to me...!
   
7. War On Terrorism...
   You know...
   If there really was a War On Terrorism...
   That is; ( e.g. ) There really were Terrorists that Western Civilization was at War with...
   Then they certainly are VERY, VERY INCOMPETENT...
   Where is this War taking place...???
   There are SO VERY MANY Excellent ways to Blow Stuff Up...
   Why isn't ANYTHING getting Blown Up...???
   The ONLY Reasonable explaination is:
   There is NO War On Terror...
   It's all Made Up...
   So that...???
   Prelude to a Full Blown Police State...???
   Or--
   Was this all Orcestrated by a small group of Texas Millionaires,
   Just to inflate the price of Oil...???
   It would actually take only a few key 'Agents' to implant disinformation into another few key 'Government Employees' to make just about any crazy thing happen...!!!
   
8. Hints on How to Blown Stuff Up...
   What 911 taught even the most dull witted student of anarchy,
   Was that common household appliances,
   Such as Airplanes could be used as Explosive Devices.
   What makes an Airplane such a good Improvised Device?
   It's mobile, and it has Lots of Potential Energy stored in it.
   What else would be good to consider?
   Gas Stations, Nuclear Power Plants, Big Trucks, Electrical Power Dams, Tall Trees, Tall Buildings ( packed together like sardines ), Fat People...
   Imagine simply knocking over a fat person at the top of a hill, where a crowd has gathered.
   Think Outside The Box!
   Think Outside of The Box, that The Box was Delivered in!
   ...Warehouses where flamable things are stored, Or Toxic Things...
   Maybe you could make it look like an industrial accident...!
   
9. Motivation & Intent...
   i would like to digress for a moment, after that last comment/suggestion of making a Terrorist Attack look like a Accident...???
   The Entire Functionality, it would seem to me, of a Terrorist Attack;
   Is to Assertively Promote 'Reasonability' into The Thinking &/or Policies of your Enemy.
   And as such: They need to known that you're the one ( or group ) that is blowing stuff up.
   That seems obvious-- Doesn't it?
   Yet many allegedly Terrorist Groups seem so convinced that their demands are so thoroughly understood by their enemy, that they neglect to mention them.
   !!!
   Don't let this Ridiculous Oversight happen to You...!!!
   Contact your Enemy BEFORE each attack and give them some kind of hint, or clue, as to what the Target will be and When... Along with constant REMINDERS of what you expect from them in Return...!!!
   And let The Damp Masses Know too... Their Government isn't going to tell them, that the reason you're blowing stuff up is because they've ( The Government's ) been trampling on you for the last 50 years...
   If you're not going to tell them, who will...???
   
10. How to OverThrow a Government
    This idea occured to me the other day, and it seems so simple...???
    You announce to a country that you've planted some number of Atom-Bombs in various cities, and that unless they overthrow their illegally established, and highly crimminal government within the next 48 hours, you'll start detonating the bombs.
    Of course; It would be helpful if you had at least one bomb to detonate at the beginning, just to let them know that you're reasonably serious...
    And then you'd also have to have all the other bombs, In Place, at the beginning of this experiment...
    Each bomb, or Faux Bomb, would be surrounded with 'Trip Devices' to keep anyone from removing or disarming it...
    And if they are only Faux Bombs, you'd want them to exhibit those qualities, such as radioactiviity & weight, that a real bomb would posess.
    ---
    Again... There are so many excellent ideas that a Real, Active Terrorist group should be employing... that there is NO WAY that i could ever believe that there is a Real al-Qaeda... If such an organization actually exists, then they must all be Native Hawai'ians.
    
11. Pre-Uranium Bomb
    It seems to me that it 'should' be possible to build a Nuclear Bomb without Uranium or Plutonium...!
    The reason that Uranium is used, is because it's 'Radioactive' to such a degree that if you simply pile a bunch of it together, it will blow up without any prompting...!!!
    But there are lots of other Elements that are Radioactive too, and it should be possible... i would think... doesn't it make SENSE that if you took like one element below Uranium,
    like: Protactinium... ( OK-- that one sounds pretty rare... ) or Bismuth #86 to Uranium's #92...
    Bismuth sounds like the first one, moving down from Uranium, to be common enough to buy it in sufficient quantities to make a B-Bomb...!
    So you would simply accumulate enough of it... How much...??? ...and help it along a little bit by bombarding the pile of it with Naked Neutrons.
    OK-- i don't have all the details on how to do this; But if you've been trying to buy an old Russion Nuclear warhead and they seem to be 'Currently Unavailable' or 'Too Pricy', then you may want to consider making a B-Bomb.
    Be sure and e-mail me with the results that you get from your experiments!
    
12. Pirate T.V.
    i'm sure you've heard of Pirate Radio...
    These are Radio Stations that either operate at such low transmiting power, that they are 'Overlooked' by the FCC, or are Stationed on an Oil Platform past the 3 or 10 mile ( ??? ) Limit off the Pacific or Atlantic Seaboards...
    Why have we never heard of Pirate T.V.
    This idea occurred to me High School, and i was thinking, why not use The Fence around the School as the Antenna...???
    Another idea would be to release A Balloon with a MicroWave Reflector on it, so that you could broadcast to It... and then The FCC wouldn't be able to Hone in on you...!!!
    What could you Broadcast...???
    Pornography of course.
    But not just any Pornography... Oh No!
    Peep Show Pornography; taken through peoples windows...
    How Delicously Evil...!!!
    
13. Future Present...???
    Cloned Humanimal Robots...
    OK... This idea may be unavailable for a few more years;
    But i've been wondering about how 'Ethical' it would be to...
    ...'Scan' Someone ( Attractive Young Women: for example )
    and then make an Exact Biological Duplicate of them,
    But change their Brains a little bit, so that this new version would be madly in love with me!
    She would still retain whatever Freewill that everyone else has,
    and she would be completely Autonomous,
    So that any claim that the 'Template' has to her, would be moot...
    She just wouldn't have Freewill from The Get-Go.
    Does anyone really have Freewill from The Get-Go...???
    Would this be 'Alright'...???
    
14. Synthetic Reality Burglar
    i'm not sure what i would call this exactly...???
    But it basically works like this...
    i would knock on someone's door ( Attractive Young Female; for example )
    and she would invite me in; on the pretense that i would be conducting a 'Modern' Survey;
    And this would require them to Wear A Headset, with which their Inner Most Opinions could be recorded... Naturally; they would sign an agreement that would protect their privacy and we would disregard any opinions that the device recorded that were not pertinent to our study...!
    But this would all be a Ruse...!!!
    What the device is actually doing; Is Reading her Expectations of what she Percieves as Real and Playing them back to her, so that she would then be 'Placed' into a False Reality that Exactly Mirrored the One that she Actually Live In...!!!
    i would then conduct a survey of sorts, then remove the headset and leave...
    But she would still be sitting on the couch, with the headset still on, and i would still be at the controls...!!!
    Once this is Established; The Operator; Me: could modify that reality in a variety of ways.
    i could oversee their experiences from a Gawd-Perspective, looking down on her, or as an Invisible Agent, or become a person they are expecting to see, and act through that person...
    Making; for example a close friend, say or do, the most outrageous things...!!!
    Or i could create entirely new people, animals, fantasy creatures &/or entire realities to superimpose upon her.
    The element of time may be speeded up,
    or i may have to isolate the subject in a office suite somewhere to play out a good senario that may last for several days...! ( It may be necessary to carefully select people that may easily go 'missing' for several days, or weeks, at a time...! ) - ( It may also be necessary to attach I.V's or Catheter's into various orifice's for the duration...??? )
    The most masterful stroke would be to Cycle the situation around, So that when you take Off the actual, Real Headset, she is where you started and all the things that happened, will make sense in the continuation of her existence when you leave her. ( ??? )
    

Inventions, Innovations & Other Heresys

Inventions, Ideas & Various Social Experiments

It's been suggested that a Genius is someone that comes up with at least One Really Good, Original Idea...
Well-- i come up with new ideas all the time...
Some of them are good,
Some of them are original,
( i freely lift ideas from other sources and promote them, as is needed, from time to time...
new & good ideas really need all the promotion that they can muster...
it's been frequently mentioned, ( although new inventors never seem to believe it...!!! )
that you needn't fear that people are going to steal your new and good ideas or inventions...
But rather; you'll be spending all your post inventions time, trying to get people to look at it...!!! )
But only a few of them are both good and original...
( Sometimes only a little Originality is Necessary... ( ! )---

It might also be mentioned that There are No Really Original Ideas...
All New Ideas come from the pieces of Old Ideas...
If an Idea were really Entirely New, You wouldn't even be able to look at it...!!!
It would nothing more than a lump of Indistinquishable, UnIdentifiable globby things...!!!

Inventions, Ideas Index

Inventions, Ideas
& Various Social Experiments

The Index:

1. Phase Arrayed Camera
   This is pretty much what i would think of as a Tricorder...
2. Internal Inertia Genertator
   Engine without a Transmission...
   Or AntiGravity...???
3. IQ One Hundred Town
   A Social Experiment that would shame Richard Herrnstein; The Writer of The Bell Curve...!!!
4. How Stupid is Normal?
   Something that occurred to be recently is; Do Normal people see things the same way that intelligent 'Artists' see things...
   Might it be that Normal ( The Damp Masses ) Humanimals, can only see stylized approximations of things...
   This is not entirely foundationless....
   One phenomena that i've noticed personally is how i see things now, as compared to how i used to see things as a child. i distinctly recall specfic feelings and attitudes about things that i saw as a child, and now, viewing those same things later, ( sometimes only a short time later, such as a few years ) i'm struck with how 'Real' i thought that they were then, and how 'Fake' they look now...!!! ( Such as Television shows that i used to think of as 'Realistic' -- Police Story, Hill Street Blues, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and others... -- And now i see they as Very Highly Stylized...!!! )
   This is Very Curious... Is the way we see things really so dependant on our cultural conditioning...???
   And as such; Are Normal People more susseptible to this...
   This may be indicated to some degree by the primative and stylized drawings they make of things,
   Or perhaps it could be more accurately measured by first establishing very carefully with each test subject that you want them to precisely rate, to the best of their ability, The 'Realness' of various pictures that they are shown...
   Will they be able to tell the difference between a nominally realistically drawn picture, and a photograph, or a artistically stylized photograph from a less contrived one...???
   Another interesting thing to consider is how 'Photographers' DATE-STAMP their pictures, even ones that they, and their audience think are 'Completely UNArtistic...!'
   This would have to be taken into consideration...???
   What would the results be for a complete CrossSection of a Given Culture...
   For Different Cultures... Industrialized vs PreIndustrialized...
   Literate vs PreLiterate...??? Westernized vs Eastern or Arabic...???
   
5. PreCogitator
   A Modest Outline for The Long Overdue 'Next Generation' of Computers that will Genuinely Think, and may, or may not, be Genuinely Conscious...???
   
6. Universal Hieroglyphical Language
   A PostLiteracy Tool for Global Understanding...
   
7. Unbiquity of Robots
   i just don't understand were all the Robots are...???
   It seems to me that it would simplisity itself to come up with a 'Kit' that could be used by any attentive 5th grader to make all sorts of interesting & potentially dangerous Robots...
   Which may be why-- Someone, somewhere, somehow; Is suppressing them...!
   
1. Develope a simple controller, or use an off the shelf programmable calculator; Such as an HP48, to be the brains of the Robot...
   There's a certain school of thought that some robots may benefit from 'Local Brains' which do nothing buy control a single leg, or group of legs, and act in a Daughterish manner, subservient to the Mother Brain...
   This is potentially a good idea and if you'd like to experiment with it, i whole heartedly would encourage you to do so... ( But it's not absolutely necessary, especially for beginneresque roboting... )
2. The next step is come up with a bunch of Motors and Magnetic Plungers and such... Various devices that push and pull things, and then add little bits of controlling circuitry to them, ( by way of NAND Circuits ...??? ) that allow the Brain to turn them Off and On. All these Devices would have Unique names, such as "A26" or "G47", So that the brain could simply refer to that device, as it is linked either serially or in paralell to all the other Devices ( And Sensors ) and Tell it to turn On or Off.
   Such a command within the Robot controller Language might look like:
   DEVICE (A26,1)
   Which would mean; Device, ( Motor ) A Section, Unit 26, Turn On.
   If you had a complicated Step Motor or some such, then the command may be slightly more complicated...???
3. Likewise; There would be Sensors that would be capable of returning quantitative data that represented contact with a surface, temperature, rotational bearing, compass direction, visual brightness, sound frequency or intensity, or a video image or sound clip...
   Again; Each Sensor would have a Unique name and could be called by the Central Brain to return it's latest or current Sensor Measurement.
   The Central Brain's Command may look like this;
   SENSOR (EP91,1)
   Which means; Sensor, ( Light Sensor ) Section E, Division P, Unit 91, Send me your latest Reading.
   Then the Sensor EP91 would download it's Numerical Data to a PreSelected File, such as 'SensorReadings'.
   Which the Central Brain would pull the data from, and act on it according to other Propositional Conditionals... ( Robotic Behaviours...! )
4. Then you'd attach these motors and sensors to a platform of Lego Blocks or Erector Set Pilons, or combination thereof, along with lots of customized structures made from cardboard, styrofoam & plastic sheets...
5. Then write a program to make it fully autonomous...
Why isn't this sort of thing available...???
One of the principle reasons is that if such robots were to become available, there would be a sudden outbreak of robotcentric crime...!!!
But a more curious problem is: Who could be suppressing this technology...???
The basic ideas outlined here are so simple and ubiqutous are available to anyone, anywhere...
Who could possibly have the power to suppressing something as commonplace as this...???

8. Use Clones to Test for ESP
   Make a few hundred clones, wait for them to mature to teenages, then test them for ESP...
   What could be simpler...???
9. Court Recordings
   Such a Simple and Modest Idea...
   Create an Entertaining & Logical Argument to Convict The Accused, and Record it for Posterity...???
10. Citizen Prosecutors
    This idea sounds so reasonable that i'm almost sure that it must actually be implimented... Somewheres...???
    It simply allows Ordinary Citizens to Become City, County, State or Federal Prosecutors for any crime that they think needs prosecuting, and discover that the local municipality is unwilling, or financially unable, to prosecute that particular crime...
    This would be particularly useful in prosecuting Police Officers that The District Attorney refuses to prosecute for some eggregious act, that if anyone else were guilty of, or suspected of, would be summarily, covered with raw honey and blown out of a short cannon into a stinky land fill infested with large, overwrought fire ants.
11. Maturity Index
    There are tests for Intelligence...
    Should there be a test for Maturity, which would allow you to be, or not be--
    Or-- Allow you to CHOOSE to be, or not be;
    A Full Fledged Citizen...???
12. Fair, Minority Representative PsuedoDemocracy
13. Complete Fractional Reality Representations
14. Allowance for MicroNations
15. Taxivators
    Might it be possible to jump into something that looks just like an Elevator in a Skyscrper in New York City; and within this tiny box, travel at near supersonic speed, across the country, or around the world...???
16. Ubiquitous Alternative Transportations Pathways
17. Freedom of Fashion
18. Digital Companions
19. International/Global Security Force with Bite!
20. Full Corporate Product & Services Access
21. Perpetual Motion Machine
22. What We Really Know, And How We Know It : Book
23. Gazelle Legs
    i saw this originally in an old Discover Magazine, and it all the ear marks of becoming a BIG HIT, A Fabulous New Fad, A Technology that would Revolutionize World Transportation...
    And then-- Months and Years went by and noone picked up on it...???
    Then i found a web page from Denmark, or some other crazy Scandinavian Country, After some guy on a bus told me that these things, That were substantially different from the devices in the Discover Magazine, but still effected the same purpose...???...Were Hugely Popular in California...!!!
    But Now-- i can't seem to relocate that Web Page or any information on these things at all...!!!
    Obviously; My first Impressions were correct, That they would Revolutionize the world,
    And Consequently; They've been Suppressed...!!!
24. System / Organization to Exploit / Maximize Crazy People
25. Bug Hat
    There are at least two versions of this,
    The Main one is Electronic, and consists of a helmet with a number of video cameras arranged around it, or the cameras could be arranged around a car or airplane, With two video displays over The Wearer's Eyes, Large enough, so that they fill the wearer's complete field of vision! This field of vision is parceled out so that the wearer can see all around themselves, and with sufficient practice, make sense of it to such an extent that they have depth perception of objects that both in front of, and directly behind themselves...!
    The second version of this is that it has the same effect, but that it's accomplished entirely with optical components.
    Additional versions may have Infered and Ultraviolet spectrums included,
    Or Additional Frequencies, or Magnetic, NightVision, or Sound Visualizations...!
    It might also be constructed so that the wearer's head remains completely stationary, and that to focus on a particular object to the side of the visual field, the wearer would simply 'Gaze' at it for an extended time, such as 2_seconds...?
    Additional features may include Zoom in & out, Colour or Contrast shifting, or Window within a Window, and/or Complete Internet Functionality...???
    
26. Ornocopter
    This is an Airplane that works by flapping it's Wings...
    i would be particularly interested though, in one that looks and operates, just like a Fly.
    
27. Construction Extruders
28. Reverse Spinning Hub-Caps
    i'm sure you've seen those hub-caps that spin, even when the car is stationary...
    Well, i was thinking, wouldn't it be fun if they were arranged with gears and reverse balance wheels, hehind them, so that they would spin in exactly the opposite direction and speed as the wheel... So that they would be stationary when the car was moving...
    So even though the wheel would be moving, the hub-cap, would be motionless, rotational wize, so that the car would appear to be Gliding, rather than rolling along...???!!!
    
29. Active / Functional Lie / Truth / Secrets Detector
    Some time ago, on a TV program called; The Agency ( about the CIA, since canceled ) they featured an 'Effect' very much like the truth detector that i've been thinking about creating for along time, But with their version, and with another version, featured on 60 Mintues... My version would be much more extensive, and Less mobile, and More configured to Each Individual that is tested...
    The idea though, that the device would be looking for 'things' ( information ) that only the guilty person would have knowledge of, is fairly well established...
    You're not just looking for the person to 'Lie'... You're looking for places where the subject would react with familiarity to things that they couldn't or shouldn't know.
    With my version; The device would consist of a large number of sensory systems that would take advantage of every external expression that a body could produce--
    Such as ( But not limited to...! ) Pupil size, Brain waves, Sweatiness, ElectroConductivity, Breathing, Skin Temperature, Muscle contractions or relaxations, Stomach or Intestinal Convulsions, Urine or Blood composition ( Taken & measured continuously ), Genitalia Excitation, Anal pinching... and so on...
    Then each subject would be exposed to a wide variety of ordinary and supernormal, dada and sexual, Optical and Auditory stimulous, along with banal and bizarre questions to create an extensive profile of how they react to various activities...
    Once that was extablished; Pertenent Questioning could begin.
    The thing that i am most skeptical about, concerning other versions of 'Advanced' True Detectors, is that they axiomatically assume that everyone is going to express the same brain wave or even brain area excitment patterns to the same sorts of stimulous...
    This is like presupposing, as many do, that everyones dream imagery means the same thing for each individual...???
    This seems hardly likely.
    
30. Borg Communities Based on Implanted CellPhones...
31. School Projects
    
    1. Punishment Jar
       One of the most annoying elements of being mischeievious in school is having to stay after and endure some mind destroying punshment; such as copying several pages from a dictionary...!
       With the Punishment Jar: The student would pick an envelope from the jar and it would contain some difficult task that would have some redeemable qualtity to it, such as learning to juggle or memorizing the Declaration of Independence...???
    2. Best Student List
       Each student should be aware of where they are in the class standing, from minute to minute, and this listing could be constructed from plaques with each student's name on it, so that it could be moved easily from one tier to another at the teachers whim. This would allow poor students to enjoy an afternoon of high standing from time to time, while the best students would be necessarily constantly aware that their position is subject to review.
    3. Dunce Cap
    4. War on Drugs
       i've always felt that the strongest argument for some point must include an open and derisive consideration of the opposeing viewpoint... Rather than just simply ignoring it.
       With Recreational Narcotics; This is especially important.
       One Drug poster idea i have is to divide the poster into four sections; So that one contains a picture and opinion of The Lay Student, Representing 'Common Sense'; Then another section would be The Heretical Scientist offering some argument for a particular Drug, Then an Orthodox Scientist would have another Section, and of course, The Drug's user should have a section...

UnExpected Patterns : An HP48gx Experiment

Something Kooky that i’ve been playing around with for quite awhile is a collection of programs & approaches that create –roughly- “Fractal” like designs that are initiated by creating Seed Generators;
That by any lay persons estimation; Should produce random gibberish.
---
This current version plots a series of Pixels on The Display into a Spiral; As the Superstructure Template.
Because the Display is constructed from an x – y Grid, Some of the Plot Points, Particularly along the Diagonals, may be Misplaced, Forgotten or Overlaid onto previous Pixel Positions.
i’ve given a small amount of thought as to how this may be corrected, and decided that given the limitations of my Computational Platform: The HP48gx, It would be too much trouble, And cause the already, very slow Cycling Period to Creep along even slower.
So that problem is simply endured.
The pattern that this caused may be generated by creating a Seed Generator that causes All Pixel Points to Turn On. So that The Gaps can be viewed.
Then another Spiral may be created using XOR for all Points, and when these are compared, Overlaps may be Determined.

( Although Start is listed first; you need to create a Seed Generator First, and test it. )
Create a Pictorial Area
Define The Plot Parameters to –1 to 1 along the x & y axis.
Determine The Size of One Pixel ( Width ) = ‘pixel’ Store
Pixels should be arranged with The Size of The Pictorial Area
And the Plot Parameters to be Square; i.e., Same Width as Height
Create a bunch of Variables to be used later:
pixel / 2 = ‘radius’ Store
0 = ‘angle’ Store
0 = ‘x’ Store
0 = ‘y’ Store
(0,0) = ‘last’ Store
0 = ‘length’ Store
Current Time = ‘time’ Store
Display Pictorial Area
Initiate an If Error Conditional that envelops the entire cyclic program, such that if it is artificially disturbed, The Then Consequent will be activated.
This Then Consequent will consist of Simply Ending the program prematurely,
Upon which the Terminal Instructions will be followed.
The Cyclical Core:
SINE ( angle ) * radius
COSINE ( angle ) * radius
Save as ‘x’ & ‘y’
x & y Real to Complex
Subtract from ‘last’ to Determine Distance from the Last Pixel
=+ ( Save Accumulatively into ) ‘length’ Store+
‘length’ is the Length of the Spiral as it twists around the central focii.
Save the Complex Point just created as the new ‘last’
Calculate The New ‘angle’ & ‘radius’
( radius * 2 * pi ) / pixel = ‘a1’ Store [ Temporary Variable ]
360 / a1 =+ ( Save Accumulatively into ) ‘angle’ Store+
pixel / a1 =+ ( Save Accumulatively into ) ‘radius’ Store+
Run [ SeedGenerator ]
The Seed Generator creates a 0 or 1
x & y Real to Complex
If Seed Generators Created a 1 : Plot a Pixel at ( x,y )
Continue Cycle Until radius => 1

[ Seed Genertor ]
This consists of a series of functions & commands that ultimately boils down to either a 0 or 1
You may use The Global Variables; radius, angle, length x, y, last or pixel...
Along with all the usual mathematical constants; such as pi, e, or i ( et. al. )
Essentially; Anything goes.
Ideally; You’re trying to create a ‘procedure’ that couldn’t possibly generate an meaningful or orderly pattern or structure...
To add to this Mayhem; i’ve created a [ Pick ] program that Picks out a digit from a Real or Otherwise Number... such that if you Ran Pick ( 4 ) on 9.43E62 : The Result would be 6
What i’ve discovered using this tool, is that given a series of numbers generated in an otherwise conventional manner, The Pick Tool will separate out ‘Layers’ of Complexity from the Resultant Numbers...???
The farther you pick digits to the Right ( Least Significant ? ) The more intricate, subtle and complex the resulting Pattern becomes.
Sample Seed Generator:
angle INVERT + length FRACTION PART [ Pick ( 3 ) ] 2 MODULUS

[ Test ]
This is intended to determine if The Seed Generator you’ve created will generate a reasonable number of both 0’s and 1’s.
The proportionality should be around 50 / 50.
i’ve also added another feature, So that it calculates (?) how long it will take to create One Animation Box.
So that; if you later wish to Use a Seed Generator to make a sereis of Plots, each Rotated by an appropriate increment, for the purpose of Animating them, this feature should give you some idea of how long it will take to make however many pictures you wish to make...
0 = ‘time’ Store
0 = ‘sum’ Store
0 to 100 Loop FOR abc
Display abc

IF this pixel is ON,
THEN turn it off.
ELSE turn in on.

IF count DOES NOT EQUAL 0
THEN continue from last interruption...
ELSE start a new one...

IF NOT - Start a New Animation
Ask for how many Frames are Desired = 'frames' Store
360 / frames = 'step' Store
0 = 'counter' Store
Create a Unique name for the list of Graphic Objects;
Use that Name to Store an Empty List;
Then save the Name in = 'save' Store
Create a Pictorial Area
Set x & y Plot Parameters so that each Pixel Dimension is the same as The Larger, Single Graphic Object Dimensions for each Pixel...???
So that it'll look the same as your 'Preview' Version...
The Animation Boxes, according to this thinking, will be substantially smaller than the Preview, Single Plot Version...
Set all Variables
