Division and Projection

I know, this argument 

can go back and 

fourth (sic) FOREVER and that is what THEY WANT! 

Divide and conquer!

It is a bit sickening and 

exhausting at times to try to  follow anything on social media or the internet.

There is such an insurmountable amount of bullshit that it is hard to sift through anything, nauseating at best.

The opening statement for instance is from an anti vax fanatic cult leader. 

What a perfect example divided by one period

.

I know, this argument can go back and fourth (sic) FOREVER 
and that is what THEY WANT!

Back and forth you can say that again but as soon as you say 

that is what THEY WANT what do you do?

YOU establish the good old US & THEM,

YOU DIVIDE in order to conquer THEM

and then what is next?

Well the famous Freud defence mechanism 

par excellence:

PROJECT! Accuse THEM

of dividing and conquering.

There are so many fallacies , countless really, and so many  confirmation biases and cognitive biases and what not that any debate just become a stinking pile of shit only meant to be left alone and never stirred for we all know what happens 

now when you stir shit.

When I was young and poor I was offered by my landlady $10 to help me towards my room and board if I’d only shovel some of the pigeon manure from the neighbour. 

I stood on top of the dry hill and planted my spade in there. 
I still remember to this day my knees buckling, my eyes watering and the horrible taste that stuck to my throat for days. 

Well Facebook is a bit like that at times.

out of my comfort zone?

out of my comfort zone! 

out of my comfort zone?

what is that supposed to mean? 

WTF is WRONG with Comfort? 

I happen to just LOVE Comfort! 

As everyone knows I am built for comfort not for speed.

Out of your comfort zone is bullshit propaganda fuelled by trainers, gurus and religious leaders for their OWN PROFIT as 
always! 

Always follow the money trail. Always follow the money trail.

They want YOU our of your comfort zone for THEIR profit and financial COMFORT.

Plus, as always, as Nietzsche would say, and as it is with spiritual leaders and rapists,
it's always about POWER.

TEMPUS FUGIT

Now, no one "owns" the concept of natural selection, nor can anyone police the use of the term. But its explanatory power, it seems to me, is so distinctive and important that it should not be diluted by metaphorical, poetic, fuzzy, or allusive extensions that only serve to obscure how profound the genuine version of the mechanism really is.

That article was somewhat over my head and way TL;DR but it gave a little food for thought.  To the extension that selfish vs altruist is a bit like saying republican vs liberal also.

Not sure yet if Pinker is a friend or a foe and don’t know enough to tell or care but he seemed to have some good points. 

An awful lot in life, politics, and religion IS “diluted by metaphorical, poetic, fuzzy, or allusive extensions that only serve to obscure how profound the genuine version of the mechanism really is.” The deviousness of the human mind is bottomless.

I am not a scientist or an erudite and would it help me if I were? But sometimes I feel I am on the edge of the ultimate epiphany… the light bulb to light up the whole universe and the meaning of life and would I get there one day it would be only to discover that I got the answer to only ONE universe and that there are a universe of universes out there.

Our minds are so little yet wanting to be so big and to UNDERSTAND! To understand the beginning of understanding. Longing for wisdom and yet would not recognise wisdom if it hit us in the face. I don’t think the human species has what it takes to begin with.

What is called Economy seems to be one of the biggest road blocks as it is often obscured by greed and all sorts of twistedness.  The lies and the bullshit scientists have to go through to get funding etc and also the way the funding is spent on whosoever has the power and his pet theory.

We all question the trillions going around in this world while half the planet is starving lacks water education and basic needs.

The only reason I would love to live forever is curiosity to SEE and HEAR what is going on in the millennium and where humankind is going is this ongoing sci-fi soap op.

I would love to see a very logical and practical planet totally free of superstition, ignorance and violence but I can’t foresee it in a million years. Something bigger and better than star wars and star trek where no death stars and photon torpedoes exist.

Ideally again a world of Eloi without the Morlocks kind of even though the drawback to this picture is that the Eloi are not interested in knowledge and education but then again knowledge and education and science today lead to better and bigger weapons of mass destruction and also to endless pointless debates.

What is the use of wasting time on things that would never happen one might say? What’s the use of wasting 40 years of life to get a gold watch? What is the use of anything? All of this will be gone, vanished, vaporise in a short time if you consider 8 billion years a short time. Our planet being entering its middle age kind of being 4 billion years out of a possible 12 billion.  8 billion being almost the middle age of the universe also if we are to believe today’s knowledge of 13.82 billion years. Maybe 13.82 billions year out of an alternate universe much older than us. Who knows?

Anyway all that to say that time is relative and short and runs fast.

Well stay put anyway when I do get that epiphany you will be the first to know. J

Even though epiphanies are doubtful and not to be trusted especially after one falls down from his horse and damages his temporal lobe. Two thousand years later we are still suffering from one’s such epiphany.

Could write more I suppose on the extremes of life, right vs left, selfish vs altruist but I too would become a TL;DR.

Will skip more waste of ones and zeros for now.

Never forget?

Never forget?

Forget what?

That expression is always used in the media to justify the expenses and horrors of war and organised murders, to rationalise past mistakes.

I LOVE the fact that truth is not a word in Greek there is no word for truth, only for its negation.

Aletheia, the absence of oblivion or forgetfulness or concealing, disclosure.

The absence of that Lethe River we all have to cross when we die.

There ARE many things we certainly should remember but the media is very very keen on which “they” want us to remember.  Remembering that the media is a big money machine for one thing is not a thing they want us to remember and that money corrupts and soils all it touches via greed is not among the remembrance meditation list either. As the old wisdom says the love of money is the source of all evil.

Of course we should remember some Western things like Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Napalm, Agent Orange, My Lai, Drone bombing children etc. but you won’t see that in our newspaper since history is written by the conquerors.

Not to me to tell you what to forget and what to remember.

What I remember is that is old world is senseless and absurd and I shouldn’t be sad when I leave it and finally get to that river Lethe.

Sure there are some beautiful things out there and some people see them and don’t let the bad things negate the good ones but I don’t think I was ever built that way. I am afraid I might have swallowed that other lie about Capricorns being taciturn and melancholic.

Black bile seems to be my daily business when I don’t find a way of escaping it.

Anyway the good part is always to question everything, look at the source and try oh try to think for yourself if we are still capable of doing so.  Thinking seems to be a business of the past since most of us now are literally trained to be totally unable to read a book even in this world of 140 characters or less.

On another note I am glad we’re over that 911 hump as I am so sick of hearing of it and also of all the other conspiracy theorists out there who go all Halloween orange and Chimney red on that day.

And now I forgot all I was going to write about but then again I have said it all already a hundred times so just reread my old blogs then! J

But it’s always good to stay far away from any site that has the word truth in it.

God is a maniac Shakespeare on a rampage

I used to like this song, I actually had it on my chess relaxing playlist but now it annoys me to no end.

This kind of naiveté to say the least is plainly idiotic if not totally deluded and at worst misguiding. What other epithet could I attach to this now?

It does what all cults do.
It starts with a conclusion
and works backwards to prove it:

Stupid romantic false logic.

Arrange the stage? Arrange the stage? 


Arrange the fucking stage?

Kill millions and billions on this “stage” to make your cute story?

What a horrible god/screenplay writer that would be. 

Not to mention the humongous cost in fake 
even though all too real blood.

That’s how it is when you are stuck in an illogical rut though you make believe and reinvent and recreate and become a great specialist in cognitive dissonance.

Trying to explain wars, suffering, countless deaths, children starving or being very sick, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as a real screenplay writer put it.

Sentimental bullshit to prove you’re right.
Despicable rationalisation, the kind a serial killer can do too.

“Love” did not write any play at all.
Remove your eyes from admiring your own navel,
 look around you and count and count and count. 

Numbers speak louder than love.  Numbers don’t lie.

Selective hearing or viewing, living in a protective shell or in an ivory tower won’t teach you anything at all.

All those troubled believers going all goo goo ga ga over such crap searching for an excuse for their inexcusable beliefs
that there is an all knowing all powerful all loving god out there who does fuck all for most of us, if not all of us.

Mysterious ways indeed, always mysterious until science explains them it seems.

If they read the book objectively they would realise there is a million errors in there and that the divine infallible inspiring was full of shit not to mention incredibly murderous, petty even. And that it is but one book among many others just as fallible.

The army and the knife were often wielded by the orders of Yahweh Sabaoth himself, the lord of hosts, to kill countless women and children and men who just happened NOT to be the chosen ones.

The arrogance, the blindness, the self-centeredness, the narrow mindedness is mind boggling but most of all the irresponsibility.

Here is my 2 bits anyway as is.

Maybe god is George R.R. Martin! :) 

You say you see no hope
You say you see no reason we should dream
That the world would ever change
You're saying love is foolish to believe

'Cause there'll always be some crazy
With an army or a knife
To wake you from your day dream
Put the fear back in your life

Look, if someone wrote a play just to glorify
What's stronger than hate
Would they not arrange the stage
To look as if the hero came too late?

He's almost in defeat
It's looking like the evil side will win
So on the edge of every seat
From the moment that the whole thing begins, it is

Love who makes the mortar
And it's love who stacked these stones
And it's love who made the stage here
Although it looks like we're alone

In this scene set in shadows
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it's love that wrote the play
For in this darkness love can show the way

So now the stage is set
Feel you own heart beating in your chest
This life's not over yet
So we get up on our feet and do our best

We play against the fear
We play against the reasons not to try
We're playing for the tears
Burning in the happy angel's eyes, for it's

Love who makes the mortar
And it's love who stacked these stones
And it's love who made the stage here
Although it looks like we're alone

In this scene set in shadows
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it's love that wrote the play
For in this darkness love will show the way
Show the way, show the way

Fifty Nine and a Quarter Today!

Fifty Nine and a Quarter Today!

Like a good business I count my progress in quarters now! J

This first quarter which also coincides with the year quarter has been “movemented” for sure.

(mouvementé in French: eventful, turbulent)

Cruise: Noumea, Fiji, New Zealand, Jacuzzis galore and more wine and beer than my usual

Sue’s accident. New Computer. Foxtel. My car accident and most importantly our little baby’s illness.

Time flies and I am not sure when was what exactly.  

Car accident was 3 weeks on Friday IIRC and the car has been back on its ‘legs’ (tyres) just very recently.

Last thing was also buying and setting a new computer for my MIL.

That momentary road rage was quite troubling and traumatizing for a 

while but has been ‘erased’ by all the troubles our little Twitch has 

unwillingly caused.  

A couple of existentialist crisis nights and questioning of the order and 

purpose of life (lives) altogether.

He certainly takes an awful lot of room in our hearts for sure and stands quite high on our affection chart.

Add to this a return to Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls and a “moderate” 

265 hours in the past 5 weeks since we’re back.

A blog that is seemingly dying, thoughts that are scrambled and a 

feeble attempt to return to some sort of a routine in “comfort & joy”.

So these are the corporate news for this first quarter of 2015. 

Will add some more when brain is unscrambled, 

maybe the new coffee machine will help! J

Transcendent Consilience!

 

Transcendent Consilience!

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

How many times have I wished for having all knowledge, knowing all mysteries. 

Don’t care so much about faith and love but knowledge 

for the sake of knowledge, 

not for the sake of power, 

has always fascinated me.

Knowledge beyond Charlie Gordon’s or Laplace demon’s even. Beyond Hawking and Einstein 

and beyond a googleplex of them. 

Knowledge of all sciences, all biology, all physics, all languages. 

Transcendent Consilience!

Moreover accurate and perfect knowledge with no fallacies and errors, hell bigger than god’s: Omniscience in all its majesty.

One would say ok what will you do with it?

Nothing! Just baste and bathe in it!  Know with a capital K.

Obviously, as well explained by Rod Serling or Charles Beaumont rather,

this kind of knowledge should never ever be passed down to other humans.

Would it help me? Would it serve me well?

More than likely it would destroy me completely but the Icarian ascension would be the rush of all times though.

Epistemologically we are still retards in so many ways. 

The best minds are only bought by beasts.  

We are suffocated by financial need and political greed.

We all travel in the dark, more than likely statistically as blind and stupid as our ancestors 

who also thought they were la crème de la crème: the ultimate in all scientific knowledge.  

We were and are so far advanced in lobotomy and the many ways of putting an animal or a human to death, smart weapons and all.

Still one can only dream.  Every time I read anything in this age of Wikipedia I sigh wishing I was younger, smarter, different, more disciplined, more this and more that and less me.

I have always been extremely curious but I was raised in the wrong environment with a stack of emotional and mental baggage that made sure I would never be good for anything.

I think Flowers for Algernon did to me what LSD did to Syd Barrett: fucked me up forever! J

 “If the operashun werks good Ill show that mouse I can be as smart as.”

   

(on a side note, it hasn't helped the biggest minds of this planet at all mind you, maybe because exactly that their knowledge was far from being perfect)

Can one have Knowledge that passeth all understanding AND

                      Peace that passeth all understanding at the same time?

Or is one asking too much?

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, 
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." 
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, 
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"  

~Leonard Cohen

Edward O. Wilson, referring to ants, once said that "Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species",^[28] meaning that while ants and other eusocial species appear to live in communist-like societies, they only do so because they are forced to do so from their basic biology, as they lack reproductive independence: worker ants, being sterile, need their ant-queen in order to survive as a colony and a species, and individual ants cannot reproduce without a queen and are thus forced to live in centralised societies. Humans, however, do possess reproductive independence so they can give birth to offspring without the need of a "queen", and in fact humans enjoy their maximum level of Darwinian fitness only when they look after themselves and their offspring, while finding innovative ways to use the societies they live in for their own benefit.

you haven't achieved your full potential yet

With my great popularity and the enormous amount of FOUR followers I can only hope in my narcissistic way that 
dem words 
will be ultra famous POSTHUMOUSLY! :) 

Anyway here is a short addition, the first of the year to be followed immediately by a second.

Sometimes my documents remain only that documents when they really should end up here mostly.

so here it goes

Heard today.

 “Authentic people always find their Utopia in the end.”

Well thank you very much Deepak!

I would love to see your empirical, ontological and epistemological evidence on that please.  

Have you got any article in a scientific peer reviewed magazine?

Please define Authentic!

Please quantify always.

Please define Utopia and

Please define and quantify the end.

Google and Bing (fear the singularity) both seem to have missed

the absolute irony of

“you haven't achieved your full potential yet”.

“You haven't achieved your full potential yet” is the catch all phrase of all wannabes gurus, shamans, or charlatans, psychics, astrologers and such: The panacea. 

Most people are stunned by such remarks and react like 

WOW! You are so right!
How DID you know?
Damn you must be wise!
You ARE good and you know me so well. 

Where if you THINK for one nanosecond you would realise that you can spew this bullshit to just about anyone and no one will ever disagree. 

 
Elementary my dear Watson.
