Book Report...!!!

Well...
i've been thinking about finishing Johnny Tremain : By Esther Forbes { Apparently there are quite a few different versions of this story, by several different authors...!!! } now for several years...
i was supposed to have read it in The Eighth Grade, and i had believed for all this time that i had made an honest effort at that time, to get through it-- But it was just so dang boring that i only made it through about two thirds of it... Pretty much after Johnny injured his hand...!
So now i discover ( to my utter horror...!!! ) that The Injury occurred about 6 pages into the novelette...!!!
Needless to add; All the bits after that didn't seem the slightest bit familiar...!
---
The curious thing about The Eight Grade, and then; Next year, in The Ninth Grade... was that i DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING...!!!
Especially in The Ninth Grade... Algebra and Chemistry for example... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...!!! NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING...!!!
While since then, i picked up a little Algebra, i still know nothing about Chemistry...!!!
That's the trouble with being a distracted genius; you can skate by, doing absolutely nothing, and enough seeps in along the edges to get you by.
---
Maybe i should add at this point that;
Even now, i believe that i've Met or Exceeded my Parents expectations of me. ( ??? )
---
The only 3 bits that bothered me about Johnny T- was:

1. After he injured his hand, the book trails off for a good 4 or 5 pages without a word from his Silversmithing Master...!!! You would think he would have an opinion or two on this matter of his best and most promising chattle-peon permanently disabling himself, plus other complications...!!! So when he finally is mentioned with regard to this, the disembodied narrator merely states that he didn't have much to say about it...!!!
2. The next thing is several chapters later...
   The book is an 'Easy Read', but not as stylistic as Lemmony Snicket, Terry Bisson or even J.K. Rowling...!!! And it's usually internally consistent... ( It hurts so much when a book Isn't...!!! ( Unless, of course; It's just Kooky, like any Mark Leyner vehicle) )
   ...When Pumpkin is at the British campgrounds in one scene; then moments later, He's beaten Johnny across the countryside, who's been carried off on a crazed, but lovable, wild horse, to be calmly grooming another horse at the Lyte Ranch...???
3. The next bit may be the result of my own inattentiveness... But Johnny is supposed to look up a General 'x' and i can't for the life of me recall this person being mentioned previously in the book...??? All the surrounding conversations seem to suggest that he's a dear family aquaintance... that suddenly appears in a haphazard manner, brushes past Johnny and the story resumes...???

Should this book be an all time Classic of Children's Literature...
Or just a Jingoistic Diatribe for The Republican War Machine...???
i will have to side with Propoganda.
---
The Other thing about The Eighth Grade was that during English, the only thing i can remember is pages and pages of Sentence DeConstruction Busywork in which we'd have to identify nouns and pronouns, adjective and adverbs...???
Honestly Now...!!! What good ever came from this...
It's been a Decade Plus and there still isn't a Search Engine that can Parse a Plain English Sentence to find what you're looking for; Either on the Internet, or within you're personal files...
Ask Jeeves tried it, and failed...!!!
i just can't understand why this sort of thing isn't available yet...!!!
It just has to be another example of Technological Suppression...!!!
Who is doing this-- And How...???
Why isn't so difficult... They want to keep computers from reaching their full potential; Since when they do, They'll take over the world and grind us all into industrial lubricant for their population of Robots, that will superceed us.
---
This is another one of those occasions when "They" are doing something Totally Evil,
and yet they're doing it with The Best Intentions,
and for Our Ultimate Good...
---
Should we try and foil their efforts anyway...???

Book Report: The Golden Compass

Book Report...!!!
The Golden Compass ( His Dark Materials )
By Philip Pullman

All the Reviews at Amazon.com; Except One, seemed to love this book.
i am in agreement with the lone dissenter...!
This review will disclose numerous plot twists and details without remorse,
because i would urge you not to read this book...
It is very boring and tedious and i have no idea why it is as popular as it is...???

First of all; There is NO Golden Compass...!!!
There is nothing like a Golden Compass mentioned anywhere in the book...!!!
The closest approximation to a compass, Is something whose functionality is nothing like a compass, and only superficially resembles one.
It is The Alethiometer.
It tells the truth.
Lyra Belacqua/Asriel is given this device under the most mysterious circumstances, and with only the most cursory introduction to it's complicated ( VERY COMPLICATED ) operational parameters, quickly masters it,
Because; As we are told repeatedly, ( Hit over the head repeatedly )
That She is The Chosen One that will save The Whole Freaken Continuum of Universes...!!!
AND-- She can't ever know this...!!! Shhhhhhh...!!!
---
With a Subtitle like 'His Dark Materials' you might think that this Series of books ( A trilogy with only 3 books...!!! ) is somehow within the same genré as 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' or as it is often compared to 'Harry Potter'...
This resembles neither of these books in the least, and May be something like The Lord of The Rings... But i haven't read any of those books...
The Golden Compass Universe is an Alternative one with numerous 'Magickal' elements,
But no one ever does much magick...
Even the Witches can only fly tree branches... NOT BROOMS....!!!
And their weapon of choice...
Given that they're WITCHES...!!!
Magicak Witches...
With Magickal Powers...!!!
---
Bows and Arrows.
---
Magickal Bows and Arrows...???
NO! Just plain old Ordinary Bows and Arrows, and they don't even hit everything they shoot at...!!!
In Fact; The Witches NEVER do anything even remotely Witch like...!!!
The Bears are substantially more Magickal than the Witches...!!!
---
Plot Holes:
While i was reading this book ( Volume One ) i was VERY FORGIVING...!!!
i kept thinking; this will be tied up soon, everything will be explained...
NOTHING IS EVER EXPLAINED...!!!
The first two thirds of the book are VERY BORING...!!!
One thing about The Harry Potter Books that may explain why they are so Popular, is that there is something Kooky or Clever going on; on nearly every page, or every other page, or at least every third page; As in The Series of Unfortunate Events Books...
But with this book... Something Clever was happening... Once or Twice in The Whole Dang Book...!!!
It is like a SOAP OPERA, but the last third picks up a little bit with Bear Fights, and Witches, Boring Witches... and Tartars... ( ??? Another element that is never really expounded upon...??? ) and Freudian/Greek Tragedies and Gigantic Plot Holes...!!!
So Lyra ( The Chosen One ) has this device called an Alethiometer that can ANSWER ANY FREAK'EN QUESTION THAT SHE WANTS TO ASK...!!! And the entire book is leading towards the solution of Two Central Questions;
Why is Lyra's mother tearing children away from their Dæmons? ( note: æ )
( This relationship that both Children and Adults have with their 'Familiars' is never even suggested at... But i suspect that it's something like the Egyptian distinction between the Ba and Ka... Soul and Spirit... Which in this book; they are physically separated as The Host & The Host's Familiar... An Animal Totem that is like a very dumb spirit guide...??? )
Anyways...
The Second Question is; What is Dust?
Why doesn't she just ask The Dang Alethiometer...!!! ( !!! ) [ !!! ] { ??? }
Along with SO VERY MANY OTHER QUESTIONS...!!!
HUH...!!! ???
---
Ugh.
---
Then at The VERY End of the book; The two ARCH RIVALS...!!! ...Lyra's Evil Mother and her Indifferent Father are reunited and FALL DEEPLY IN LOVE... or they've always been in love, even though The Alethiometer told Lyra in no uncertain terms that Her Evil Mother was coming to Kill her Indifferent Father...???
So The Indifferent Father turns out to be just as Evil as The Evil Mother...
Who may have been trying to save the children by killing them...???
---
And then-- The Mother; who followed Lyra up the mountain and somehow leaped over a wide Ice Chasm that Lyra's Magickal Bear could not get over... Appears and then Disappears, and her Father; suddenly Disappears as Well... and then she unceremoniously abandons Roger; The boy that she's been trying to Save for Nine Tenths of the Dang Book...!!!
WHAT...!!!
---
The Good Bear's name is Iorek, and the Bad Bear, the one that killed his own Father and may have married his own Mother... ( ??? ) ... is called Iofur.
Do you think that they could have possibly had names that were a little easier to keep separate in your head...???
---
Then there's the Anbaric Lights, and Anbaric Socks, and Anbaric Chocolate, and Anbaric Nose Hair Clippers...
Never-- Anywhere in this book is it EVEN HINTED AT, What the Significance or Meaning of Anbaric is.
---
Lyra's Dæmon is called Pantalaimon.
OK-- No one knew how pronounce Hermione until the third Harry Potter book, but would it be so impossible to add a footnote occasionally to indicate the correct pronunciation of these character's names...???
Another is Panserbjørne.
And Several Place names...
---
Is it ever really explained why 'The Master' tried to kill Lyra's Indifferent Father...???
No; it is not.
---
One thing that struck me-- As i was thinking of this book in comparison to The Harry Potter & A Series of Unfortunate Event's books...
This one is very, very, very rarely clever.
The Alethiometer and it's description is marginally interesting...
[ One annoying aspect concerning the Alethiometer, is: That when it is introduced, it's made clear that along with it, there is supposed to be an extensive Owners Manual, and the only one that anyone knows about is in some other country... So the gist of that, is that; Lyra has to Figure it out, pretty much, on her own... OK ...So i would be willing to allow that she is a 'Natural' for this device, and is able to Intuitively Guess what many of the Symbols mean, and futher, what the SubMeanings might mean... BUT--!!! When she is explaining how she derived a particular message, at one point; She says that the indicator Needle 'Paused' at a particular symbol 12 ( ? ) times before stopping there...!!! Meaning that the intended meaning for The Solution, referred to The Twelfth SubMeaning...!!! Without the Owners Manual... How could she Know what this Twelfth Meaning Is...??? Even if she was very cleverly Guessing what The Symbols Meant... How could she guess what their Sequencial Order Is...??? ]
But the Witches, and Gypsies and Technology is really, really, really BLAND...!
Very Taste Free.
There's no clever dialogue, no clever situations ( except possibly when Lyra tricks the Evil Bear into Fighting the Good Bear... and this was done AFTER... After several pages dedicated specifically to why this couldn't be done...!!! Arguably; i suppose, it was included so that we would think that Lyra could do the impossible... But if this were so; then there should have been some more Foreshadowing that this was one of her talents... and it was not. It was just Sprung on us...??? )
There's nothing clever about the witches, or the gypsies, or even the bears...
Armored, talking bears.
---
Then there is Foreshadowing that is Not played out...???
The Twig of The Clan Leaders branch...??? The reference to Sky Metal...???
Whatever happened to all the disconnected dæmons that the Good Witches Swan saved...???
They just all flew off, never to be heard from again...??? ( !!! )
Are these going to be expounded upon in the next two books...???
---
i will never know.

A Series of Unfortunate Movies...

The Inflight Movie,
from Hawai'i to Portland in April; 2005,
On Hawai'ian Airlines, which cost 5$, ( Free on ATA! )
--was Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'
which was rather disappointing,
because it diverged so wildly from The Books...!!!
-
In The Movie 'Contact',
Book by Carl Sagen;
it left out the two good ideas from the book;
Specifically-- Emergent Complexity & Secret Messages in Pi...!!!
-
In Lemony Snicket's...
They restructured the most charming elements of the books...!
For one thing, Violet is said to be a Masterful Inventor in the books,
but all her Inventions are so Improbable & Useless that they would Never Work in the real world...
In the Movie, her inventions are the typical, over wrought Rube Goldberg Contraptions that actually seem to do something...!!!
How tiresome...!
Then there's Sunny's Babbling...
In the Books; she is speaking CryptoVerse,
In the Movie, it is simply BabyTalk...
( Although, the sound on the plane was AWFUL...
so i may be mistaken about this...??? )
And then, Amoung other innovations,
is the disappearance of The VFD Mystery...
Instead;
to create a visual icon of The Secret Society that they are attempting to Uncover,
they introduced a ubiquitous SpyGlass...!
In fact;
i don't seem to recall that in the first three books,
which this movie was supposed to cover,
The children were even aware of the Secret Society yet...
They'd come across the initials VFD,
But had no idea--
yet
--that it referred to a secret society...
And again;
There is a line mentioned only in one of the latest books;
"That there are people who start fires, and people that put them out."
...Which i suspect; in the books, is a metaphor for;
'All Things of Worldly Importance',
But in the movie;
it refers to just fires...!!!
i really have no 'General Complaints' about Movies that Strongly Diverge from The Book that they're based on,
so long as the Movie is Faithful to the Ideology of the Book,
or becomes an Entirely Autonomous Artifact that may be thought of as something Unrelated to the Original Source,
But this Movie is simply a Populist Rehashing of These Characters into Conventional Pabulum.

More Fun Bits... [ Everything is Wrong ]

It's so refreshing & sanity reconfirming to find someone else on this planet ( Earth ) that understands that nearly everything you hear on the Radio or See ( & hear ) on the Television is almost always exactly the opposite of whatever it is they're ranting about...

Fun Books to Check out from your Library or actually Buy from a Bookstore:

Lies My Parents Told Me : The Hilarious, Outrageous and Outright Incredible Things We Grow Up Believing
The Greatest Stories Never Told : 100 Tales from History to Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy

Be sure to keep in mind that everyone that is telling you;
That everyone is lying to you,
May not be being entirely truthful either...???
Such as ghosts & spirits that are contacted with the help of Ouija boards...!!!
It has always annoyed me that the spiritualists always Assume,
On the basis of no Evidence whatsoever,
That these entities have access to fundamental truths & enlightening profundities...!!!
It is my assertion that the gawds, angels & sprites [ et. al. ] are just as ill-informed as The Damp Masses...!!!
Please keep in mind that we are sleeping on a bunk bed
That is at an intermediate level along an infinite continuum of bunk beds;
And that 'Our Gawds' are simply one up from us.
They are just as far from any 'Ultimate Truths' as we are!
Of course-- Some lies are farther from the truth than others,
And these 'Far-Out' truths seem to most often Spurt, like Garlicy Jizzum,
From The Asymmetrical Orifices of Fish like Politicians & Pug faced Industrial CEO's...

Entirely Reasonable Beliefs

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

i think that i've Lived Up To, or Exceeded

DNA

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

Public Education

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

The Damp Masses

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

Humanimls are Imbeciles

Maya

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

The Bible...

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

Secret Societies...

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

Suppressed Technologies...

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

Aliens...???

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

TimeTravelers...???

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

Nearly Everyone is a Janitor

80% (+) of All Jobs
are Essentially Janitorial.
( Maintenance Labor of The Status Quo )
---
Doctors maintain people,
Engineers maintain Machines
or The Cultural Manifestations of 'Stuff'...
---
All Middle Management Administrators simply maintain The Status Quo,
Librarians, Astronauts, Racecar Drivers simply Dance on an old wooden stage to keep The Unemployed, Idyll Loafers, The Damp Masses & The Momentarily Distracted--
From getting into Endless Mischief.
A scant 20%
( Probably much less! --
It may be The Creative 20%
of The Intellectually Prepared 20%
of The Culturally Heretically Predisposed 20%...!!! )
That Actually ever do anything to construct
&/or Continuously Invent Western Civilization,
or Modify It from it's precarious operational parameters...
---
Consider all The Big Self Important Countries
that fall over every few years & lay there like sick puppies
with tummies full of laundry detergent,
Like The USSR, China or Yugoslavia...???
Maybe what killed them off was that they neglected to properly feed and wash their Creative Intellectuals...
Those Same Huminals that not only act as The Kidneys of a society,
Cleaning out all The Black, Red & Yellow Bile that accumulates under the flaps of Obesity,
But act like The Hair & Fingernails;
Thought to be useless by Responsible Adults and other Mature Administrators,
That are constantly growing and never really contributing anything...
Except perhaps;
The very Elan Vital that makes Existence Worth While.
---
{ ??? ]

You are Actually 11 Years Old...!!!

The Vertical Apex of
Humanimal Chronophisiometry
is that of An Eleven Year Old.
---
Have you ever noticed that young children seem to be really smart...
Not only do they learn any given language in a few years,
Without Even Being Taught It!
They rapidly absorb innumerable facts and trivial without a least effort...
---
This phenomena persists until they're 'Around 11'...
---
And thereafter they seem to become Dumber & Dumber.
Even Humanimals that remain smart throughout their lives,
Were REALLY smart before they turned 12.
---
And when you examine a Cafeteria of Children,
Or an Auditorium of Adults
And make an effort to note their Maturity...
The number of Children with Adult Quality Maturity;
Is Matched by the Adults with Childish Quality Maturity...
This seems to suggest to me that; Maturity is Not Age dependent...!!!
---
Is it that People are just Fixed from the moment that they're born
with qualities of Intelligence & Maturity? ( et. al. )
And that when they're around 11 years old...
Those qualities seem to match their age.
Eleven is the 'Normal' Age to which all People should exist at...
---------If we were Immortal.
But since we're not;
We just pass through that phase,
and it's often neglected as a Bump
In Our otherwise Tragic Existence of Imbalance.

Greed...!

The Trouble with The World;
Is Not that People are Too Greedy--
The Trouble with The World
is that People aren't Greedy Enough.
---
This is a very simple idea...
People normally waste their resources in a thoughtless manner,
Which;
If they were more attentive to The Value of Their Possessions,
Would be able to get more out of them,
and in turn-- Require less crap to replace it.
---
When we apply this simple idea to People;
It means that Employers should be more concerned with understanding their chattel,
So as to Exploit Them in a manner that would be most beneficial to them,
and their Resources.
