Contingent Fulcrum
And i’ve decided to Tentatively Call this New/Old Idea:
A Contingent Fulcrum.
A Contingent Fulcrum is a Lynchpin or Pivot Point, KeyStone, Crux, Weakest Link or Problematic Missing Pie-Pan that Demonstrates that Some Grand Postulate is Wrong, Based on The Assumption that If (x is True, (y would also be True,
And The Contingent Fulcrum “(y” is Most Definitely Not True, Missing or Neglected.
Specifically;
i have for a very long time, perhaps forever, been drawn between my love for quixotic phenomena and my unease that so little of it has been unambiguously demonstrated.
If it were really possible to Levitate, or even if Saints occasionally levitate spontaneously; Why hasn’t this effect been thoroughly documented by now, Especially given that The TM’ers claim that they can do this at will, and teach this skill to anyone with a few spare thousands of dollars?
Another one of My Projects that i’m slowly developing; Is a Self Administrating Hypnoses App that will allow anyone to Hypnotize themselves for some Effect.
The question that i asked in The Development of this App, Is;
What are The Potential Effects?
How far can Hypnosis take You?
i have read many accounts of Fantastic Claims that should make a reasonable person wonder; Can Hypnosis really do that?
Can you really cause Warts to Appear or Disappear from Specific Regions on your body?
Can you really Induce The Religious Miracle of Stigmata, or Bleeding from your hands & feet?
It has been fairly well documented in Eliminating Pain or Drug Addictions, Eliminating Compulsive Habits, Controlling Phobias, Alleviating Hysterical or Emotionally Caused Ailments, Recalling False Memories of Alleged Abuse, Previous Incarnations or Alien Abductions, As well as Inducing such a full & incorrect spectrum of false memories to create a Robotitron ‘Manchurian’ Assassin that acts ‘Freely’ given The Alternate Reality that they are Programmed with.
But might it also be possible to Use Hypnosis to Induce An Imaginary Friend that is Fully Actualized, Enlarge your Breasts, Penis or Lip Thickness?
The Military performed many experiments with Remote Viewing, finding that it is a real phenomena, but useless at gathering actionable information. Might Hypnosis allow lay persons to us Remote Viewing for personal Recreation or confirm The activities of A Spouse?
Could Hypnosis be used to Learn a Foreign Language, Keep a Cleaner, Tidier Home, Stop Beating your Wife, Husband, Children, Pets or Strangers, Develop X-Ray Vision, Talk to The Dead, Find Lost Items, Or Develop The Skills that Many People seem to have, that allows them to have Sex with any Stranger?
Could Hypnosis be used to Improve your Piano Recitals, Baseketball Shooting, Paint Portraits or Enter other People’s Dreams?
As i mentioned earlier; Although i Want to Believe in many Quixotic Behaviours & Phenomena, i am also deeply Suspicious or Genuinely Skeptical of many such Claims. i would like to believe that some people have somekind of Natural Magnetism that works on non-ferrous Items, But all such claims seem to be made by people far away in foreign countries.
Then this idea of The Contingent Fulcrum Occurred to me.
If Hypnosis or Some Other Natural Mental or Psychic State were able to cure Cancers, Correct Club Feet, Mend Spinal Deformities, Expel Daemons, Remove Cataracts &/or Repair A Deviated Septum;
Then why haven’t this Technique ever been used to Replace a Tooth?
Replacing a Tooth seems like it would be The Easiest Thing to do with A Mental State that Can Cause Subtle Physiological Changes in Ones Body. All you’d need to do is turn on Those molecules in your gum line to make A New Tooth, just like they used to do when you were a child.
But no one has.
This is The Contiguous Fulcrum.
Something that Should be True, But it is Decidedly Not True.
It is perhaps easy to find excuses for all sorts of other Quixotic Phenomena which occur so infrequently or only spontaneously; But Replacing Teeth is Never Reported. One of The Most Useful & Functional Attributes of An Enlightened State of Mind or Miracle Cure, is Completely Non-Existent.
When The Simplest Case fails, This does not bode well for The Class Phenomena.
Addictive Personality Types
It occurred to me that This Medical Diagnoses of ‘Addictive Personality Type’, which is routinely thought to be a Derogatory Label, Might actually simply mean that these people have a greater than ‘Normal’ proclivity to adhere to something that they are familiar with, Rather than try a continuous Stream of New Things.
Addictive Personality Types might easily account for Everyone that Sticks to some activity until they become astonishingly good at it, rather than flitting from this to that like ‘Ordinary’ People.
In other words; The Psychiatric Industry has again attached A Pejorative Brand Name to An Attribute that Usually Enables certain people to become vastly superior to The Damp Masses or Professionals that entered The System through The University Footpath.
The Addictive Personality Types become attached to some (x when they are pre-adolescents, eschewing a Career Route that The Social Engineers try to superimpose on everyone.
Granted; Some of These Addictive Personality Types might become fixated on Drugs or Behaviours that are Dangerous or Socially Destructive, But are they in The Majority?
The Addictive Personality Type is Actually A Good Thing.

Gawd! i hate computers.
The last few days i’ve been trying to work up some video clips of my aunt telling some family stories with iMovie and it is just driving me crazy!
i used to think that iPhoto was The Worst Application that Apple Created, But their movie making Applications are much Worse!
The first problem is; There is not One Movie Application.
In order to made a fully completed video, you really need to use Four Applications.
iMovie HD
iMovie
Garageband
iDVD
iMovie HD is a simplistic little diddy that allows you to add some very quirky special effects, adjust sound ( ? ), and so on, and in theory, i suppose, you could create somekind of finished product with just iMovie HD, but not really.
You really need to Export The Video from iMovie HD and then splice all The Pieces that you tuned up with iMovie HD into iMovie Proper.
This has fewer quirky features, but it more easily allows you to put things together, add transitions, move The sound track under inserted images, add title frames and so on.
But then you need to Export The Video from that to add sound effects.
You can do this a little with iMovie HD or iMovie, but if you really want to add some sound effects right where you want them, and then add some music and really adjust all These elements together, including volume control, you need to use Garageband.
Then After The Video is really done,
You need to Export it from Garageband ( which crashes every 5 minutes if your menu clock has The Colon Separator blinking ) and then import it to iDVD.
With iDVD you can make it into a Presentation Video with 80% of The Pomp that you get from any commercial DVD.
But getting there is a freaking nightmare.
Never mind all The usual planing and thought that would have to go into any ordinary presentation video, The problem(s is that these applications are fighting you every step of The way.
One of The most annoying and mind numbingly frustrating things that Apple Applications have done for The past 30 years is that after you set something to (x, and then look away for a moment, The Application will change The setting to (y.
???
i have tried to guess why they do this, and it is still a deep mystery.
Most people believe that Apples crash much less often than Wintel Computers,
And this may be so, but Apple Application still crash pretty often.
iMovie is also very odd in that there is No ‘Save’ or ‘Save as…’ in The File Menu.
All, ALL Applications have a Save & Save as… in Their File Menus.
Except for iMovie.
When you open an iMovie, It looks through The Old iMovie Projects file, selects one at random and brings that up.
To start a new project, you have to Tell it to Start a New Project, and after Naming and Defining The Parameters of The New Project, The Old Project is still there.
You then after to Delete The Old Project, Section by Section.
Then you Start your New Project.
But since you can’t Save it, You can’t shut it down for a day or two and get back to it.
If you turn it off, It may or may not be Saved in some unspecified form, and you may or may not be able to reopen it at some future time; If you can find it.
And if it crashes, All traces of it will completely disappear.
iMovie HD will not allow you Import a .mov
.mov’s have been around for at least 40 years and been a common format for Apple, and are still in use today. iMovie exports films as .mov’s, But iMovie HD will not import them.
???
There is also another Video Application called QuickTime.
There is The Ordinary QuickTime and QuickTime Pro.
There used to be A QuickTime Pro.
Now there is just QuickTime.
The Ordinary QuickTime that is now Available has all The functionality of The Old Ordinary QuickTime, which is very barebones.
QuickTime Pro used to allow you to play around with your Videoa and to Save your Video in different Formats,
Now; They have this New Approach in which All The Old formats are being replaced with M4v’s in different sizes.
iMovie HD exports as .dv’s ( ??? )
i don’t know about YouTube, But Flickr will not take .dv’s.
To make a iMovie HD acceptable for Flickr, you’d have to import into iMovie and then export it as an M4v.
i really hate it that i can’t choose The Format Type.

Proposed Flickr Group / Abby Normals
Abby Normals are The Well Dressed Hamsters & Featherless Parakeets that are Not Normal.
- -
What if Careless Evolutionary Forces, Freshly Starched Angels or Bulbous, Teal Aliens Created This World & Inhabited it Humanimals that would Ideally have an IQ of 100; Such that People with this degree of Intelligence would not be able to get into any gratuitous & unnecessary mischief.
Sure; They could get into Ordinary Mischief, But not ExtraOrdinary Mischief.
They would never have invented something so Elegant as a Cross Bow, or even learned to attach a sharpened Stone to a Stick. As simple & primitive as The Most Rudimentary Tools may seem to us now, They were Originally created by Genius’ of their Era.
A World filled with Nothing but IQ 100 People would be blissfully roaming sun baked Savannas, Fleeing Large Cats, Filling their Bellies with Plump Termites & Over-Ripened Dwarf Apples.
Maybe we would have developed a Bonobo Social Model and would spend most of Each Indolent Afternoon Masturbating Ourselves & One Another.
But This was not to be.
Some Humanimals were Abby Normals.
Some were A Little Slower, and Were protected and Cared for So that when The Big Cats Attacked, they would be The ones that would fall behind & be eaten.
While Others were Too Smart for Their Own Britches and Invented all that Ails us Today. They may eventually be responsible for Our Extinction, or The Destruction of This Entire World, Or just maybe; They will lift us off this World, and Fill The Milky Way Galaxy &/or The Universe with The Infection that is Us.
This group is for The Abby Normals,
To show The Damp Masses how The Abby Normals Think.
What is An Abby Normal?
Originally; i was thinking that this Group should be for The Traffic Cones & Laminated Snowflakes that Exhibited Well Documented Personality Disorders; Such as A Schizoid Personality or Any Flavor Along The Autism Spectral Continuum.
But The True Schizophrenics are Such a Interesting Species of Tube Worms that they mustn’t be left out, Nor The Clinically Worrisome Maniac Melancholics.
Plus all The Others.
The Exclusionary Principle :
( Any Three of These Applicable Features,
Would Disqualified You from Legally Contributing To This Group )
Anyone That is Not :
Luke Warm, 18% Grey, Plain Vanilla, Reasonably Attractive or Well Groomed, Married with Children, Middle Management, Sensible Drinker, Responsible Tax Payer, Community Volunteer, Filial Progeny, Cautious Driver, Prudent Social Libertarian, Frugal Shopper, Regular Duster, Circumspect Gardener, Earnest Laborer Or Sympathetic & Pensive Neighborhood Caretaker—
And Such. ( et. al. )

How can this Not be True ?
Caste Analysis ( ?
Caste Analysis ( ?
The Real Functionality of Assigning People with A Caste Title; Is to easily & painlessly Identify People that are Genuinely Respectable/Useful on one end of The Spectrum,
And Disdainful/Expendable Baggage at The Other.
We would like to believe that there are Genuinely Good People & that Bad People / Criminals are All Bad, So as to Not confuse our Naivé Sensibilities.
But few people are like this; And once you’ve given someone a Title of High Reverence,
Are they going to maintain it?
Very Seldomly.
And this is Why Castes Fail.
People are just too complicated.
Too mixed with Attributes of Good & Evil, Competence & Clumsiness,
Kind Heartedness & Petty Insouciancy.
The Opposite of Caste is A Theoretically Homogenous Society in Which All Citizens are 100% Equal, With All Resources available to The People, Equally Divided.
This has been tried, And it always fails.
Simply Because of Padro’s Principle. 80% of The Work is done by 20% of The People.
Those People that do most of The Work, Deserve Greater Compensation, Privilege & Respect.
i suspect that many of those that are Busy Bees, Are more productive by their Natures, Just as Actual Bees are. But There is another subset that has The Potential for being very productive, but will only do so if they believe that they are being appreciated. And The Easiest way to show, or demonstrate that Appreciation is through rewards.
The Following Casté System is Based on Pragmatism, Functionality & Application of Talents.
The reason that Capitalism Fails; ( or is Deeply Flawed ), Is because The Hardest Workers are not Routinely provided with The Greatest Rewards, And there are a sufficient number of The Wealthy that don’t seem to be working hard at all.
Many of The Lower Classes, Who should Knowingly & Willing Accept their Impoverished Condition as a Consequence of their Real or Implied Indolence; Don’t fully Understand or Appreciate The Theoretical System which is Not Being Righteously Implemented.
They see plenty of people that Seem to be just as Indolent as they are, Receiving Unearned Rewards.
It might be interesting to somehow determine which Occupations require The Greatest Effort. And by; ‘Effort’ i would suggest that this apply to many different Attributes, many different kinds of Intelligence, physical effort, concentration, attentiveness, hours spent in this effort & so on.
Occupations which would require consistently applied physical exertion & bear some genuine risk of serious injury, But consist of little actual attentiveness or training; Might be allowed to Share a Stratum with Office Workers that perform routine mental tasks which required years of classical pavlovian conditioning to master, While they must also endure constant social jostling which is emotionally stressful.
Exclusionary Attributes would be Education; Based on The Principle that once you’ve mastered your Avocation, You’re ability to perform it easily makes your occupation less stressful and requires less effort in that respect. Keeping up with New Developments would be considered in The Overall Equation that determines this Definition of ‘Effort’.
Then; The Occupations that Required The Greatest Effort would be Rewarded Proportionately.
This is in Direct Conflict with Classic Capitalism, So that if anyone brings this up;
Yes; It is in Direct Conflict with Classical Capitalism;
It is Not Based on ‘What The Market will Bear.’
This also brings up The Correlative Idea of ‘The Worth of Things’.
This analysis would require tremendous scholarship, but suffice to say; i believe that The ‘Art Market’ is no more real than The Tulip Hysteria that took place in Holland, And it’s only a matter of time before everyone ( including The Obscenely Wealthy ) will realize that A Printed Image has all The ‘Important’ Attributes of An ‘Original’ Painting. And when 3D Printers can Fully reproduce Sculptures & Objects with Moving Parts*, The same idea will apply to Everything. ( Everything ).
That is; It will soon be possible to Produce Anything such that The Manufacturing Process will Cost The Same for Everything, Of Equal Mass. It will Cost exactly The Same to ‘Make’ a Royals Royce as a Volkswagen Beetle, Refrigerator or Jungle Gym.
Of course; The Template of Each Item, That was designed by Engineers & Engineering Computers; Pulling on The Vast Libraries of Engineering Knowledge from The Beginning of Time; Would be given a Unique Value for Each thing.
But - - Because of This Engineering Computer’s Contribution to Any Given Project, Such as One Initiated by An Untrained 12 year old that could create an highly sophisticated Device with only The Barest Idea of how to proceed—
How much ‘Value’ would this Child have Contributed to The Item?
- -
* Now in Development.
If Castes are Righteously Earned, Assigned & Enforced; Then they must provide The Society with An Easy ( An Acceptable ) Manner by which Some People are Treated better than Others.
Of course; Everyone, should be provided with a ‘Baseline’ of Living Services, From which one works harder to Improve from. Allowing Anyone in The Society or Community to Fall below this Baseline foments violent dissent, or at least creates a Dichotomy of Environmental Segregation which The Wealthy must Endure.
i’m thinking here of The Extreme Poverty that is Present in various parts of The World that exists beside The Wealthiest Homesteads. The Wealthy must endure this poverty that surrounds them, and live in unnecessary fear of its citizens.
Here in ‘America’; We have eliminated this ‘mostly’ and thus; The Gated Communities or Neighborhoods of The Wealthy are surrounded by reasonably clean Bourgeoisie & Proletarian Homes, in Which Their Inhabitants enjoy The Gentle Brain Massaging of Television, MP3s & Food Additives that quash their natural instincts to bludgeon large animals into submission.
What Determines a Caste ?
Who is The Worthy Citizen?
Who should be given Greater access to Services, Privileges, Perks, Exculpations, Indulgences & Shopping Discounts ... ( et. al.
Who is A Diminished Security Risk ( for Air Travel
Who is Better Looking / Lighter Skin Color / Delicate Facial Features / Hairless Arms or Legs
Who Looks Normal / Exclusionary Principle: Dwarfs, Giants, Morbidly Obese, Ugly
What Privileges do The Rich Now Have?
The Ability to Buy Top Quality Items at Cost / While The Poor must pay several times this for The Same Item.
Access to Better Medical Care
Access to Better Schools
Access to Better Recreational Facilities
Access to Zoos with More Exotic Animals
Access to Exotic Foods
Permission to Engage in Ludicrous Sexual Acts
Permission to Marry more Wives or Husbands
Permission to Spawn more Children
Permission to Commit Venial Sins & Violate Malum Prohibitum Taboos
It should be noted that The Rich & Privileged would also Endure Greater Responsibilities.
They would Necessarily have to Dress Better
Keep their Yards Clean
Adhere to a Superiour Moral Standard of Social Cooperation*
- -
* While Enjoying More Freedoms in Private
What is The Functionality of Castes ?
To Easily Give Respect & Privilege to Some Chosen Few
While Withholding Respect & Privilege from Others
In A Moneyless Society; Those that Hold to Higher Castes, May be allowed to cut in front of those with Less Respect when a line is present. Otherwise; If The Resources are Available to all comers then no such division is necessary or desired.
By Resources; This system means ‘Luxuries’.
Food, Healthcare, Shelter, Media Access & Other Necessities are Distributed Equally to Everyone, According to their ‘Needs’, Not Desires.
Obesity & Opulence are not a Hallmark of The Wealthy in this System.
- -
Another very important advantage of Caste Recognition is to Allow A Person of One Caste, in Special Circumstances to ‘Out-Rank’ someone of Greater Seniority, Pay-Grade or Authority. A Problem Solver that has a comparatively Low Rank, may be called upon to Solve a Unique & Troubling Problem that The Journeymyn of Higher-Rank may be Stifled with. The Journeymyn would readily acquiesce to The Special Abilities of The Problem Solver.
In A Police Confrontation; The Genuine ‘Sharp-Shooter’ ( Journeymyn ) would have The authority to fire his weapon, while The Other Officers ( Common Laborers ) would merely provide ‘Cover-Fire’ with Blanks or Rubber Bullets.
Assigning Castes
Every Infant & Child to The Age of 9 is Assigned a Privileged Caste which Entitles them to The Best Free Education and Trade Familiarization, Access to The Arts…
And then At That time; ( Reaching The Age of 9 ( or thereabouts ) ) The Child would be Tested to Determine if they were ‘Ready’ to be Assigned a Caste.
This Caste would Not be Tattooed onto their Forehead, but it would follow them around for many different Venues. There would also be Mechanisms to Change ones Caste at any future time. Their Caste could be Incremented or Decremented based on their own desires, or The desires of The Community or Regional Government.
Since The Castes under this System isn’t about Privilege though, There would be little need or Desire to Change Castes.
If They are Determined to be Ready to be Caste Assigned; They would be more thoroughly tested and Given a Caste.
If They are Not Ready; Their Privileged Caste Status would continue for several more years, Terminating No Later than their 21st Birthday. If they are determined to still not be ready, Their assigned Caste would reflect this Chronic & Habitual Indolence.
This would not necessarily be a ‘Bad’ Thing however.
Just as many societies & communities readily ‘Accept’ or Tacitly Accept Homosexuals or Transsexuals, Village Idiots, Hobos or White Trash; This Indolent Caste would be Striped of Nearly All of The Rights & Responsibilities of Full Citizenship, But Enjoy A Nearly Animal Like Freedom, which would allow them to avoid labor and run around naked if they so chose. They might well find a niche as a Family Pet or merely roam around, begging for scraps & sleeping on sidewalks.
This niche would Not consist of The Mentally Ill or Disabled however, The Indolent Caste would have to Demonstrate Competent Intelligence to be A Member of The Shiftless, Sloth Caste. This group wouldn’t even allow Drug Addicts or Petty Criminals to be Included in it.
The Sloth Caste would be a Very Specific, Well Quantified Class of UnTouchables.
Some Societies form Castés around ‘Civilized’ Avocations that Benefit The Community, While Other Occupations, While being Equally Functional, are thought to be Barbaric; Such as Butchers, Executioners, Leather Workers, Janitors, Pollution Handlers & Such.
i don’t think that Castés should make distinctions like that.
If an occupation is Socially Functional, it should merit An Equitable ‘Baseline’ Respect when compared to any other ‘Respectable’ Vocation.
The Castes
The Solvers / Problem Solvers / Encyclopedic Knowledge + Ability to Solve Unique Problems
The Artisans & Craftsmyn / Makers of Things / Creative Artists / Creative Engineers
The Journeymyn / True Professionals / Experts / Highly Skilled, NonCreative Craftsmyn
The Intelligensia / Historical & Encyclopedic Knowledge of Things
The Supervisors / The Most Adroit & Proficient Administrators & Bureaucrats
The Media Whores / Unskilled or Marginally Skilled* NonCreative Craftsmyn
The Common Laborers / Unskilled or Marginally Skilled Workers
The Sloth Caste / House Pets ( Not a Derogatory Class
The Pariahs / Utterly & Completely Useless ( Not a Derogatory Class
The Criminals / OutWorlders ( The Only Derogatory Class
- - -
* Marginally Skilled is any Occupational Métier that can be Picked Up in less than 2 weeks of On The Job Training by A Reasonably Intelligent 5th Grader. They may well refine this skill over a period of many months or years before reaching their personal mastery.
Each Caste is Divided into 3 Categories of Competency
Adroit / Most Masterful
Dexterous / Fully Qualified
Squire / Pupil / Assistant / Space Heater
Each Competency Class would also come in 5 Flavors
Fiduciarii/ Fully Trusted, Genuine Heartfelt Ideological Loyalist
Trusted / Understands & Embraces The Values of Morality & Ethics
Reliable / Not Imaginative Enough to Get into Trouble
Heretic / Questions Everything Too Much / Trouble Maker
OutWorlder / Enemy of The People

Appendix A : Plato’s Divisions
1. the soul which has seen most of truth shall come to the birth as a philosopher, or artist, or some musical and loving nature;
2. that which has seen truth in the second degree shall be some righteous king or warrior chief;
3. the soul which is of the third class shall be a politician, or economist, or trader;
4. the fourth shall be a lover of gymnastic toils, or a physician;
5. the fifth shall lead the life of a prophet or hierophant;
6. to the sixth the character of poet or some other imitative artist will be assigned;
7. to the seventh the life of an artisan or husbandman;
8. to the eighth that of a sophist or demagogue;
9. to the ninth that of a tyrant
The Problem(s with Plato’s List seem to be that it was created as a consequence of personal experiences & sorrowful ordeals with bureaucrats & departmental supervisors, And then idealized by adhering to The Lessons taught to Small Children.
It’s certainly curious that Plato equates Righteous King with Warrior Chief,
Physicians with Circus Performers & Skilled Craftsmyn with Hog Farmers.
He also allows that Futurists, Which Plato calls Hierophants, and We now call Economists, are suitably reliable to be ranked above Product Designers & Film Directors.
Tyrant is an Interesting Description; In that many genuinely Great Leaders of Social Movements & Industry have been characterized as Tyrannical. Tyranny can be good or bad, depending upon The Vision of The Martinet. There is A School of Thought that allows for The Idea that Exploitation & Slavery of The Damp Masses may be A Good Thing if The Minions are treated fairly & Their Purpose is for Some Grandiose Venture which will Benefit The Community for Many Years to Come. Everyone within a Capitalist Economy is Exploited by Their Employers & Society Imposes Sufficient Restraints & Taboos upon Each ‘Free Citizen’ to Say that they are Properly EnSlaved. Isn’t it curious that The Regimes of Free Societies have to Constantly Remind their Vassals that they are Free ( ?
When We Consider The Exploitation & Slavery of The Damp Masses; The AntiThesis to this is That The Hairpins & Popsicle Sticks that The Gawds Created in Their Own Image; Should, In Some Theoretical Sense; Be allowed to Roam Naked over Lush, Tropical, Fruitful Savannas or Along Sanitary Beaches.
Is it Bad to Force The Featherless Parakeets into Self Actualizing? It may be Wrong to EnSlave These Traffic Cones into Positions of Labor which are Insufficient for Their Potential Talents; But if A Tyrannical Autarch Forced everyone in their Kingdom to Excel in Their Natural Proficiencies; Is this Bad? Do The Litters of Homeless Meerkats really have The Elemental Human Right to Squander their lives? Do The Insane Hobos have a Fundimental Privilege to Sleep in BoxCars? Is it entirely reasonable to assume that they have The Ability to Make Foolish Choices concerning their lives, Or is it more Plausible that given that These Kitchen Spoons have a record of making imprudent or chowderheaded decisions about their lives; Are they really ‘Making’ those Decisions?
Does The Tyrant have a Paternal Responsibility of Compulsively Obliging their Clammy Handkerchiefs into becoming All That their Innate Potentials may provide for them?

Appendix C : Intelligence Pertaining to Sensory Awareness & Discrimination
Is this really ’Smartness’ or ‘Intelligence’ ?
Many Occupations such as Pharmacists, Chefs, Musicians, Illustrators, Dancers & Such have special abilities that are Directly Related to Their Senses, Which are Interpreted in The Subject’s Brain, Not on The Base of The Tongue, Finger Tips or Joints. All Mental Activities should be given The Same Status of ‘Ability’, Which is ‘Intelligence’.
- Chemoreception / Smell
- Photoreception / Sight / Rods, Cones ( Red, Green, Blue ) / Tetrachromancers can see an additional color, but it's still within the visible light spectrum, so that it only enables such viewers to accurately discern a greater range of distinct hues.
- MetaSight / ElectroMagnetic Spectrum / Heat / Microwaves / Polarization of Light
- Mechanoreception / Balance / Kinesthetic ( Body Position / Joint Motion ) / Body Image / Vestibular Sense /
- Spatial Placement / What is Around Me? / Comparative Direction / Acceleration
- Touch / Somatic Sensation / Thermoception / Pressure / Sharp / Stretch /
- Sound / Audition / Perfect Pitch
- Echolocation /
- Electroreception / Magnetic Compass &/or Fields / Direction
- Vasodilation / Viscral / Internal Organ Senses / Intestinal / Internal Pressure
- Taste / Gustation / Sommeliers ( Wine Tasters ) / Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Sour & Umami ( deliciousness Tastes Fat & ? )
- Humor / Sense of Reason / Intuitive Logical Perception /
- Empathetic Projection / What are other people Feeling?
- Time / Measuring or Knowing What Time it is / Seeing into The Future by Means of Analytic Projection

Appendix D : Further Speculations Regarding Intelligence
It’s been recently suggested that Steve Job’s wasn’t particularly ‘Smart’
The same as been said about Richard Feynman, Henri Poincaré, David Hilbert & i’ve been saying this for years about Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Steve Allen, Picasso, Salvador Dali, Ray Johnson & Carl Sagan— All of whom are Severely Overrated.
Part of this problem ( which has many different Facets ) is that There are many kinds of ‘Smart’ & English ( ? ) just doesn’t have a suitable Vocabulary to distinguish between The many kinds of Smart.
i have also been very skeptical of Straight A students for quite a while.
Even in Grade School, i readily observed that The ‘Smartest’ students were The Goofiest ones, and i interpreted that to mean that they understood The Functionality of Playfulness, while The C Students believed that Being Solemn & Sultry, Smoking Cigarettes & Drinking Beer were somehow ‘Adult’ Attributes.
One needn’t be Solemn or Self Abusing to be Serious or Zoologically Mature.
But later; i became more suspect of Straight A students, that didn’t seem very ‘Bright’. They certainly weren’t witty or creative or deeply knowledgable.
What were The Qualities that they possessed that allowed them to get Straight A’s?
Obviously; It may be that These Students are not being rewarded for Intelligence, but Acquiescence to Their Social Indoctrination Program, Or it may be that These Students have found that they have A Natural Ability to Shape & Control The Thoughts of Others. ( ?
As a function of this; i have now come to believe that The B Students are really The Smartest ones.
C students are generally just dull.
D & F students are an enigma. Some D & F students are clearly very bright, so there may be some application here that The Untrainable Elephants are The Smartest Ones.

Appendix E : Foundations for National Caste Systems
Under The Hindu System; Castes are Delineated by Occupations; Which are Elitist, based on many centuries of fine tuning that ostensibly tried to rid The Social Divisions of Nepotism, Usually related to Royalty. Regretfully; The Castes are still applied through Decent, Which Skewers The Entire Point of An Unbiased Caste System.
Brahmana: The priests and the teachers
Kshatriya (or Rajanya): Administrators and Military men
Vaishya (or Arya): Traders, merchants, businessmen, farmers and herdsmen
Shudra: Servants

The Curious thing about Societies that may have an Unformalized System of Specific Classes; They invariably have names for The Highest & Lowest Stations, While Excluding The Hoi Polloi, or Damp Masses.
In PreWesternized Japanese
The Samurai; Which didn’t always weld Swords, Policed & Administered Communities.
While The Peasants enjoyed invisibility; The Burakumin ( Outworlders ) are routinely & harshly discriminated against.
The Cottar (in Scotland and Ireland) are farm laborers or tenants occupying a cottage in return for labor.
Ethiopia’s poorest Class are The Bantu
Nigerian & Cameroon’s have The Osus.; ‘Who are Owned by The Gawds; In The Same Sense as Butterflies & Stray Dogs’ which are a Peon Class & Outcasts.
The Baekjeong are Korean Untouchables / Common Rabble
The Chaein are associated with Basket Weaving; A Necessary Occupation, suitable for children & trained monkeys; Not Self Respecting Adults.
The Hwachae are Korean Executioners ( or Butchers ) Which are amoung The Untouchables.
Is it indeed curious that Civilized Kitchen Appliances have so distanced themselves from The Necessary Slaughter of Their Food Resources; While simultaneously glorifying Warfare, Cinemagraphic Police Violence & Athletic Related Aggression.
Real Violence is Abhorrent, While Stylized Violence has been Elevated to Art.
Is this Related to The Awareness that many Broken Crayons have about Love?
Real Love exists only The Stylized & Romantic Fictions of Art, While The Love Experienced by Carpet Sweepers & Bicycle Spokes, Is Sultry, Vulgar & Squalid.
Reality is A Huge Disappointment.

Variations on Pascal's Wager
Blaise Pascal; ( 1623 − 1662 ) French Barber, Doorknob Collector, Hopscotch Campion in The 4th & 5th Grades, Adamant Believer in The Existence of Garden Gnomes, Fashion Critic, Euclidean Ice Sculptor, Amateur Hypnotist, Community Ethicist, Suspected in The Organization of Many International Wife Swapping Collectives, Beetle Diarist, Saver of Old Shoe Strings & Napkin Doodler.
Best Known for his Principle that Spilt Milk is Nothing to Cry Over.
Amoung his many Accomplishments;
He is also known for A Sophistic Religious Adjunct Whose simple reasoning places it in Parity with Saint Anselm’s Argument for The Existence of Gawd, The Unexpected Quiz, What is The Sound of One Hand Clapping, The Granny Knot, The Importance of Squatting while Defecating, Don’t run with Scissors, The Dvorak Keyboard, Socks with Reinforced Heels & Toes, Numbered Pages, Velcro, A Baker’s Dozen, The Hamster Wheel, Plastic Vomit, The Principle that There are An Infinite Number of Prime Numbers, The Octagon Stop Sign, Elastic Waist Bands, Gel Pens, Bendable Straws, Q-Tips, The Placebo Effect, The Differential Transmission, Lift & Separate, Greeting Cards, Hard Candy, Alternating Current, LED Bars & The Monty Hall Paradox.
In it’s most Elementary Form;
Pascal’s Wager is An Argument that Asserts It is The Fool whose Heart is Blackened with Unrequited Love that Chooses to Neglect taking A Rational Position on The Belief in An Omnipotent Cognizant Organizer.
Fallen Angels by : Crazy-Clayz
e.g.;
Given that there is A Gawd or No Gawd,
And The Fool Either Believes in This Gawd or Does Not Believe;
Producing 4 Optional States;
The Most Rational Choice is to Believe in This Omnipotent Cognizant Organizer and after Ones Mortal Death, Enjoy A Everlasting Existence in Paradise with 40 or more Virgin Brides;
Or - Choose one of The Remaining 3 Options, and Suffer Eternal Damnation, Consisting of Considerable Teeth Gnashing and Bubbling Skin Lesions.
The most obvious short coming is That Pascal apparently failed to consider, is that;
Given there is A Confusing Spectrum of Gawds to Choose from;
If The Fool picks Elohim, Baal, Poseidon, Odin, Ahura Mazda or Ahriman, Istar, Choronzon, Rao, Cthulhu or The Anunnaki; Rather than The Maitreya or Allah, whichever is Our One True Local Cognizant Organizer for This Universe &/or Reality;
The Genuine Deity may well take Greater Offense than if The Fool Chose The Path of A Reasonably Well Behaved, Confused & Vacillating Agnostic.
Since The One True Cognizant Organizer’s Personal Attributes are Unknown to most of us;
And without knowing if S’he(It is Really Benevolent, Petty, Judicious, Vengeful, Remote, Psychotic, Playful, Charitable, Selfish, Jealous, Pretentious, Candid, Patient, Omnipotent or Agoraphobic; We can never really know how to Choose which Gawd or Faith to Commit our Soul to.
You might want to start off from The Axiomatic Position that The Actual Creator of The Universe is Smart & Fundamentally Good; But are these Artificial Flavors Warranted, or merely wishful thinking?
Gawd’s Idealized Eden, The 10,000 year reign to come, & Heaven; May be just as Harsh & Brutal as The World that we’re familiar with.
Does The One True Gawd want you to be conservative or boldly choose a Gawd, Any Gawd that you take a fancy to, Rather than Openly Express your Androgynous Nature.
Will you be judged harshly for Switching Religions from Time to Time?
How does Our Maker feel about Fanatics, Zealots & Militant Coat Lickers?
- - - - -
In Order to Simplify this Otherwise Illuminating Wager;
William James ( Wm Jas ) Tychonievitch has Removed The Spiritual &/or Religiosity of Pascal’s Speculation of Chance to :
If Nothing Matters; Then it Doesn’t Matter If you’re Wrong.
Therefore : Don’t Waste Your Time Considering The Possibility of A Universe in Which Nothing Matters.
But -:- Don’t be Too Quick to Dismiss A Theory Just Because It Seems to Imply Nihilism.
It might Not Imply What you Think it Does.
[ Nihilism : Life is Meaningless, The Universe is An Torpid Deterministic Machine & We May Actually be Living in A ScreenSaver Reality.
Therefore : All Religious, Judicial, Moral & Ethical Considerations are Moot & Laughable.
- - -
The Optimistic Dreamer that Willingly Accepts that S’he is Living in A Spiritually Meaningful Universe; S’he Enjoys The Benefits of Social Integration.
The Optimistic Dreamer that Acknowledges that The Universe is Meaningless; But by Some Unknown Mechanism, Possesses Freewill; Boasts Artistic Autonomy, The Capacity to Create Boundary Free Paintings & Music.
The Pessimistic Pragmatist is Aware that they are living in A Clockwork Machine, And although The Universe has Purpose & Meaningfulness, They are Condemned to Play Out A Role as a Sock Puppet, Ostracized from Autonomous Beings, Which do Not Exist in Their Reality.
The Pessimistic Pragmatist that is UnWittingly Trapped in An Refrigerator of Cold Horror, Able to Experience Consciousness, But Whose Only Thoughts are of Unrestricted Confusion.
- - -
The Assumption that is being made here is that Nihilism is Bad.
How does The Nihilist Behave that makes their Position Less Desirable than The Optimistic Pragmatist that Chooses to Allow that The Universe May Have Purpose &/or ‘Meaning’ ?
Presumably; It is Expected ( ? ) that The Nihilist acts in a Socially Destructive Manner, Making Disparaging Remarks about Global Warming, Failing to Protect Endangered Nematodes, Farting in Elevators, Eschewing Familiar Principles of Etiquette, Promoting Sexual Deviancy, Talking in Theatres, Building Weapons of Mass Destruction, Telling Children that These is No Santa Claus, Sneezing into Party Dip, Disrupting World Economies & Giving out Incorrect Directions.
To What Advantage might they Hope for by Adhering to The Principle of A Meaningful Universe, While they Believe in Their Heart of Hearts that It is Not Meaningful?
The must Abandon All The ( Meaningless ) Joy of Acting without Conscious,
Since; Although they ‘Know’ that The Universe is Pointless, They are annoyed with their Awareness of Their Personal Suffering, and Their Innate Desire to Wash it Out with The Bleach of Impending Suicide & Irresponsibility.
What does Social Acquiescence really have to offer?
Materialism, Freedom of Venereal Diseases, Reliable Shelter, Magazine Subscriptions, Internet Access, Political Inclusion, Titles & Honors, Some Measure of Security or Personal Identity ?
Logically; Choosing to Accept The False Notion of Meaningfulness in A Universe that is Certainly Meaningless, May be in Some Sense Pragmatically Valid;
But Is it even Possible to Pretend to be Logical in A Reality whose fabric is missing The Catsup Stains of Reason & Rationality ?
Is this Argument really asking us to Pretend to Pretend to Act ‘Reasonably’ ?
- - -
But just as Atheists may be The Only Toaster Ovens Going to Heaven*;
It may be That The Deterministic Universe Which Happens to be UnIntentionally Falling Towards An Organizing Principle,
Which is most easily Observed in The Self Replicating Molecules that have Obtained The Ability to Store and Manipulate Vast Coliseums of Information; Is Far More Desirous of Sentient Beings Which =Are= Nihilistic ( ! )
Whether or Not you Believe, With Good Cause or Impudent Cavalier Logic; That there is A Cognizant Organizer that Created or Shaped The World in Whole or In Part;
One might Reasonably Conjecture that This Process is On Going; And that this Cognizant Organizer is Still Refining A Work in Progress.
Evolution need not be UnDirected, Or Directed by Wantonly Indifferent Forces;
The Cognizant Organizer might Just as Easily Use Evolutionary Principles to Refine Small Details or UnExpectedly Innovate Gross Assumptions.
Thereby:
Considering The Two Positions;
1 ) The Universe is Meaningless & I Know It to Be Such.
2 ) The Universe is Meaningful & I Wonder What My Role in It is?
Considering (2 First;
The Pencil Nub that is Convinced that The Universe is Meaningful, They may very well fall into Dogma or Scientific Inquiry to Adhere to The Underlying & Meaningful Principles of Ethical Behaviour & Seek a Deep, Gnostic Erudition of Reality,
But - They are also going to believe that there is The Right Way & A Vast Spectrum of Wrong Ways of Doing things.
Such a Ragged Stocking is going to be very Conservative with All that they Do, How they Act & The Decisions that they make.
Contrary Wise :
(1; The Nihilist is going to do & Act without any Constrictions.
Evolution Greatly Prefers this Approach. It is The Nihilist that is Going to Discover ‘Impossible’ Things.
“The More We Mutate; The Faster We Can Evolve.” : Babynous
Mercury is The Conservative Ethicist that Bows down before The Sun;
While Earth is The Crazy, Never Look Over Your Shoulder, Nihilist that Discovered Life.
- -
Just as Pascal was Wrong about ‘believing’ in Gawd in order to reserve a table in Heaven,
Neglecting to Consider that There are Many Potential gawds, And Choosing The Wrong One may be Worse than Not Choosing at all -
The Ethicist’s Argument should be;
If The Universe is Meaningful;
In Order to Best Serve The Universe’s Tacitly Desired Principles of Expanding Complexity;
You should live as If it Isn’t Meaningful.
- - - -
* Concerning :
Only Atheists will be allowed into Heaven.
This assertion is founded on The Existence of A Cognizant Organizer that has made available to Some of The Mortal Dead;
A Riotous Beach Front Barbecue or Serene Mountain Chalet with bleating sheep to lull The Dead off to Sleep at Night.
Given this; The Cognizant Organizer desires Dynamic Creative Souls to Share Eternity with,
And Consequently; In order to Create a Sieve which Finds such Randomly Generated Souls;
Being Unable to Make them at Will, or Whatever Reasons - -
This Cognizant Organizer created A Predominant Religious Order which Promises The Most Wondrous Afterlife to Whomever Adheres to A Detailed Criteria of Specifications which are Absurd & Self Destructive; Such as Sticking your head in a bucket of Water, Mutilating your Genitals, Persecuting those that choose Love over Indifference & War; & so on…
Those that Recognize The Folly of ‘Established’ Religions & Philosophies, And turn away from Their Clerical Masters, with The Tacit Understanding that they will be Excommunicated and Sentenced to Eternal Damnation; Must Necessarily be Either Very Foolish or Extraordinarily Courageous.
The Cognizant Organizer can easily make this Distinction and readily accepts The Courageous Atheists into Heaven,
While The Obedient & Acquiescent Lemmings are Recycled again & again until they finally choose The Path of Genuine Wisdom & Enlightenment.
