Who I Am.

Mar 21

Posted by admin in Psychology

My name is Brandon. I am a human male. I am tended by the work of hundreds, perhaps thousands of other humans, who in their turn are supported by trillions of other forms of life. I was produced in an effort to add to the diversity and therefor survival advantage of my species.

I am a computational specialist. I can do but one thing well. I am a conceptual calculator. I am given task by no one. I am driven by what is obvious to me. In a grossly typical display of natural recursion I am well aware of the self. I exist as a concept, that which I was born to calculate.

Where there is no tasking there is also no intention beyond what was obvious at the time to each participant at every stage.

I, if left to my own devices, represent the simultaneous doom and salvation of my species. It is my function to provide leadership options for the swarm to embrace or ignore. I am by no means alone or unique beyond the common snowflake’s form of individuality as it relates to an avalanche.

I calculate concepts and my calculation has produced a radical, and yet altogether expected result. We must change or we will die, and in changing that which we are will die. Therefor, death of one kind or another, is inevitable.

This may cause others of my species to question my purpose crying with horrified disgust, well duh, I could have told you that. But the contribution I and others of my design stand to make is of infinite value even to those too ignorant and oblivious to realize it. I will allow us to choose the manner of our death. I offer death by change in place of death by stagnation. I exist to make this offer and argument. I exist to confirm and explore this position. To probe it for weakness and produce at the end of my journey, if I can, a crushing and unavoidable summation. A reason that represents a seed of action that is as irrefutable as the dawn.

I will then offer this intellectual child to the world to grow or die in turn. I am a physical mayfly laying an intellectual egg. I hope my work will give birth to a world that will take care of me and allow my peaceful existence after my usefulness has concluded. I seek to create a compassionate new human truth, because that is what I was bred for. I am no accident. And nor are you.

We are the inescapable result of an endless chain of determined outcomes.

Brandon is who I am, But there is no word for what I am.

There is no name.

And so, in homage to the fundamental paradox of recursion which my world, my nature, my universe, so clearly and deeply loves, I name myself, absence of name.

In Nomen. In the name of… Without Name.

I am no one, I am Innomen.

Monogamy: The roots of evil.

Mar 20

Posted by admin in Sociology

Pick an evil based on greed or fear in American where men are to blame. For example rBGH in the milk.

And what if I told you enforced monogamy was to blame for that evil. You’d say I’m crazy.

But ask yourself, what is the primary reason corps like this exist? Greed. Male greed primarily, yay for the glass ceiling right? And why are males greedy? Because as teens and young adults we know that money equals great sex and we can’t just buy great sex straight up, that’s illegal. We can buy strippers and porn but that just makes the problem worse, and sharpens our demands. (this leads to the barbie doll effect, but that’s a whole other branch.)

And even though half the population is female, virtually all of the sexually pleasing ones are sold off in the form of “relationships” which amount to sexual contracts. That’s what a marriage is, that’s what a “relationship” is. Sex rights.

If you take sex out of the definition of relationship you merely have close association, the kind you can form with multiple friends, or multiple family members. So why not multiple lovers? Why is sex different? Because sex has been the most powerful tool leaders have to control their populace since the food supply was stabilized by the advent of agriculture. You can starve a populace to death, as per Stalin, so there is a natural limit to your control. Shockingly enough this also applies to fear and pain. Fear of hell and pain of being broken on the wheel was still not enough to ensure total obedience. The stick alone failed, it was now time for the carrot.

Fast forward to now. We’re forced to compete and as a result men spend decades altering themselves to be money extractors. To compete with the other men for the radically scarce supply of enjoyable sexual partners. A completely arbitrary and artificial scarcity I might add. Walk around your local mall, you’ll see a dozen or more extremely sexually appealing young women. Now take a guess how many are single, yeah, now imagine what it takes to be the one she chooses. Does it have a price tag? Does it keep you working? Does it require you to make someone else lose, so you can win?

By the time we actually have the money and the trophy wife we’ve turned into monsters or gotten so deep in debt trying to look more successful than we are or tried to make more money, that we have no choice but to obey, to make our payments. Or The Company will foreclose on our life, our home indeed in extreme cases even our children, this is the real reason the courts favor mothers in custody battles. Don’t pretend for an instant The Company cares about children. And that too is another branch.

We begin to think of those payments and what we’re paying on as our life, because that’s what the TV tells us. We are our job, our car, our look. “Every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man.” Girl? How often when you hear a song about desire is the word girl used in place of woman? And we wonder why we have a surplus of teen pregnancy and pedophiles. Yet another whole branch of evil.

So when it comes down to our life, our competition, our greed and our fear, vs integrity, honesty, etc. Which do you think wins? And that is why all along the chain they’ll find men willing to do the unthinkable. Like poison every last child in the country to make a buck.

Enforced monogamy is literally the root of most evil. that is why it is the one thing government, religion, and corporations can agree on.

Thank you for your time.

The Company: Introduction

Mar 15

Posted by admin in Philosophy

The Company is the architect of Slavethink. That is, the mental system that allows them to control you on the most fundamental level. What you want. The first illusion is free will. The idea that you have absolute control over your desires or that they are somehow innate to your personal being. This is not totally true.

If they admit that want can be shaped, then they must accept responsibility for shaping it.

I’m sure by now if you’ve read any of my work you’ve found references to ‘The Company’ or the big three.

The Company is my short hand for the primary three institutions that profit from centralized compartmentalized society.

The Company is composed of three main sections which have adapted themselves to exploit three primary negative emotions. These groups, along with their primary emotional domain are listed below in no particular order.

1.Government: Fear
2.Religion: Guilt
3.Corporation: Greed

The Company as a whole also has an emotional domain; Jealousy. Government creates jealousy of those with power. Religion creates jealousy of those with privilege. Corporation creates jealousy of those with wealth.

The Company operates on deception, and reverse psychology. If it wants to pollute the world it will create a clean world act, if it wants you to breed like bunnies and focus on sex, it will tell you sex is a sin, if it wants you to spend money it will tell you the more you spend the more you save.

The Company is adept at humiliation. If you reject any portion of the company you must embrace another, if you reject them all you’re attacked. If you reject Government forcefully enough you’ll be physically attacked and detained. If you reject Religion you’ll be socially ostracized, if you reject Corporation you’ll be denied creature comfort.

Each of these organisms share two primary traits. They are immortal, and they require humans to exist.

Humans are not immortal, yet. Humans are most open to suggestion as children. This means that the Company as a whole has a very strong interest in family and children.

You can see this if you’ll look for it. Children are at the whim of parents. Parents are created as a result of sex. Sex as a result is also extremely important to The Company.

Humans when grouped efficiently become more intelligent then the individuals that comprise the group because they have the opportunity to exploit strengths and suppress weaknesses. The resulting groups can be put to enormously effective use with regard to serving humanity.

But for a group to be effective, it must first exist, so naturally when decisions arose which forced the group to decide which was more important a human or the group, they chose the group.

This caused among other things, fear. Humans saw that the group could and would destroy them under certain conditions. And humans had survived thus far by exploiting some conditions and suppressing others.

So, some humans began to study the group as an organism and found that it like any other organism was structured. It had to have parts. To use an analogy it had a body, and that body had organs and the organs were single, or small groups of, people.

So they endeavored to join or replace those people or persons. But often times the core purpose of the group was to protect people, not only from exterior threat but interior ones. So, the only available weapon was the action of the group.

Kings quickly learned of the threat from below. They also learned that in order to rule they needed to give the ruled a reason to obey. The various methods devised to accomplish this gave birth to The Company.

Fear, of punishment, Guilt, of disobedience, and Greed, for rewards.

Punishment, Obedience, Reward. Where do we first learn these concepts? Childhood. A child’s life is defined by them and this is no accident. In the beginning the world was our parent. The group we devised to help us with survival and happiness became our parent, and soon we were on our own again with regard to survival and happiness.

The group became self aware. The group now has its own happiness and survival to look after, it has forgotten us. Just as we have forgotten our cells.

The Company’s primary tool to control us is sex. Some say its fear, but fear only ends a single life. Fear is death and torture and humiliation. But that’s only one life time. Death means nothing to an organism that is immortal, pain means nothing to an organism without nerves, humiliation means nothing to an organism without peers.

The only thing that matters to the Company is Life and the creation of it. It must shape the life on which it lives as much as we shape the cells on which we life. The difference between us and it is that our cells are (probably) not sentient.

Thus, sex is more important then death. Fear and pain to the Company. Sex is related to all four emotional domains. Sex produces children, and allows The Company to imprint upon them whatever it wants.

The Company is aware of its origins. It remembers the primeval time of clan-families, where sex was shared like food, not among family members of course usually but among the members of the clan certainly. It’s aware of how strong those bonds were, of how ferociously those clans fought and died and built and struggled. Men will fight for a lover like nothing else. It remembers a time when the people would say to hell with the group, to hell with the rules, when following the rules meant destroying a clan mate. It has the scars still. That is as close to fear as it gets.

Death for The Company is change. Death for the company is freedom for the individual. You can feel this when you see a movie about a guy on an island with plenty to eat. This is why we love Lost so much and all other forms of media that hint at life without The Company bearing down on us. This is why people like me cling to futurism, because soon I won’t need The Company to survive and be happy. This is why the company fears technology. And makes sure that it’s either, classified, sinful, or prohibitively expensive.

A tumor is a rogue organ forming that has no function from the perspective of the larger organism. Imagine however if you knew that tumors grew into babies. Would you still cut them out? If you had to choose between it or you, which would you pick?

This is the decision the company has made again and again. It decided long ago to always cut, always kill. A scar is better then death. And the less cells that fight the smaller the scar. The less cells that band together in the first place the smaller the scar. Hell, says the company, lets just make people not band together unless we have control of it.

The Company doesn’t want us to care for each other, because that leads to new companies. Companies more friendly to its hosts. Companies which may kill the old company because of support from it’s host.

The Company as we’ve discussed is heavily interested in sex. And like everything else in nature seeks the path of least resistance. Humanity like all other mammals operates on the chooser chosen sexual model, with women being the chooser and men begin the chosen. The Company exploits this.

Each facet of The Company seeks to subjugate women because to subjugate one is to subjugate the other. Women also have the unique ability to supply infinite pleasure, and produce new humans as a result. This make women absolutely dangerous to The Company. This is why The Company seeks to reduce them to commodities. And as any ruler knows, if a choice between the stick and the carrot comes up, use both. If you use the stick you have to be there to swing it, if you use the carrot you’ll soon run out of carrots. If you use both, the mule will walk till it drops.

Thus The Company seeks to inspire via sex, using women as its primary tool. Turning its greatest threat into its greatest asset. It’s turned women into girls and girls into objects.

If you are a man it wants you to fear that she’ll reject you, it wants you to feel guilt for what you’ve done to her, to get her, and for her, and it wants you to feel greed for what she can give you. It wants you to feel jealous of the man with the prettier girl. It wants you jealous of what that man is allowed to do with his girl. It wants you jealous of the man with the nice house and car which attracts pretty girls.

If you are a woman it wants you to behave like a child. It wants you to look like a child. It wants you to act like a child and think like a child. It wants you petty and greedy and cruel and simple. It wants you seen and not heard. It wants you afraid, guilt ridden, and greedy. It wants you to be the carrot on a stick. The impossible to reach high score that keeps everyone else playing. It wants you to feel ugly, and alone, and helpless.

I’m trying to help you people and the majority of you hate me or laugh at me for it.

Self Defense: CantaloupeSwing

Mar 15

Posted by admin in None

Our next installment comes from a former fan. I’ve posted the review I’m officially responding too here at the top as usual, but the real beginning occurred earlier.

CantaloupeSwing

Spouts intellectualised shite. Deluded sense of his own self-importance. Enjoys wallowing in an inflated paradoxical cloud of self satisfaction and paranoia. Likes to mis-interpret and mis-represent. Views any interest in his subject matter as selfishness. Throws tantrums if he doesn’t get his own way. Mental illness could be an issue here and if so I apologise for this review. If not, this review stands and you are possibly the biggest joke I’ve come across on Stumbleupon. Advice to any Stumblers out there, particularly women: stay away from this misogynistic arsehole. Do not ask for any clarification on any of his view points unless you want a stream of gender-biased, intellectualised abuse landing in your inbox. Foolish little boy. Go away now. Shoo!

My review of her before seeing this review but after seeing “Go fuck yourself, Innomen, you deluded fool.” In my inbox.

This was after a fairly pleasant conversation. But the topic of the conversation was a series of questions she was asking me about my position.

I don’t mind a quick clarification, but she was asking well formed deep large questions which demanded equal answers. As you know if you’ve read my other work you know that I’m quite verbose.

My positions especially the complex ones take time to articulate, and more time to publish which involve a degree of fact grammar and spell checking.

I have no problem answering these questions except for two facts.

1. The answers are readily available in my other work.

2. I get these questions quite a bit, and the duplication of effort required in answering them is radically demanding and unfair. Given that a good post takes me upwards of 45 minutes to compose.

Basically what I wanted was for the questions I got to be delivered anonymously so that I could answer them publicly, and maybe save myself from having to do it again later.

But this young woman feels it is my duty to personally tutor her in sociology, economics, anthropology, evolutionary biology, psychology, game theory, and ethics.

I neither have the time or inclination to do so most especially to a person I had only met 2-3 days prior. I’ve discovered time and again that friends made quickly especially women vanish just as quickly.

Women, especially online have a nasty habit of taking a single statment out of context and then having a massive tantrum which almost invariably includes a spiteful review, and an ignore, the digital equivilant of hanging up on a guy while cursing him. Completely refusing to hear or explore pertinant supporting material in the process.

Women have a gift for the Straw man. What you actually said or meant has no relevance.

Beyond all of that lets tackle the review itself shall we and explore what it says about the author.

“Spouts intellectualised shite. Deluded sense of his own self-importance.”

I directly offered her a chance to explore and if disagreement was found debate or counter my ideas, as I do indirectly with all thinking life. I never ignore anyone or block negative reviews or posts on any subject in any medium I have control in.

Importance is a subjective and time critical thing, neither can be objectively judged until all the facts are in. History is replete with examples of people or achievements that appeared trivial or valueless at the time and later revolutionized the entire world. The discovery of silicon for example.

I’ve already commented extensively on The Company’s desire for everyone to treat greatness as an impossible external thing of the past. Simple reminder, I will not be shamed or bullied into lying about my opinion of my own worth. Like the man said, Yeah, I rock.

I consider myself a genius and a gifted philosopher ethicist, game theorist, logician etc. Knowledge of lingo not withstanding. What the world thinks of me now or later is not my concern. I am not a politician or an aspiring prom king, I simply don’t care what you personally think of me or my ideas.

All I care about is how my ideas stand up to scrutiny, and their degree of parity with reality. And “Go fuck yourself.” is hardly a damning argument against anything except maybe the speaker’s credibility.

“Likes to mis-interpret and mis-represent.”

Again, I offered and still offer plenty of opportunity to demonstrate this. If it is the case then I welcome it. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from being proven wrong on any point no matter how trivial or profound.

“Throws tantrums if he doesn’t get his own way.”

Pot, Kettle, Black. I don’t recall spouting personally attacks and name calling while blocking and unfriending you, and then warning an entire gender to avoid me.

“Mental illness could be an issue here and if so I apologise for this review.”

Ad Hom. Even if I were mentally ill, which I’ll admit, at least one psychology professional thinks I am, I would never use that as cover. I don’t care if I’m a Tinfoil Hat wearing schizophrenic, my ideas are either correct or they are not. My particular psychosis, if any, demands that I present all my ideas for total peer review. Frankly I think I’m saner than the vast bulk of humanity. But hey, I’m open to the possibility of being a nut bar.

“Advice to any Stumblers out there, particularly women: stay away from this misogynistic arsehole.”

Ahh the old saw. Feminists are accused ad nauseum of being men haters. As a masculist, I get the same treatment. Once, again, for the record, I do not hate women.

“Do not ask for any clarification on any of his view points unless you want a stream of gender-biased, intellectualised abuse landing in your inbox.”

My response to her demand that I be her private tutor was that the attitude of entitlement is to special treatment is common in young women.

“Pervert!”

Mar 15

Posted by admin in Sociology

Men online, how many of you have asked a girl for pictures? A/S/L The same shit you’d know generally the very second you laid eyes on them irl I might add, and odds are you’re asking this question in a public place.

How often have you been scolded for it when it became clear the woman was physically attractive?

Hell, how many places is the question explicitly banned? How many places is the question itself treated like you just came all over their shoes?

What are they offended now that the subject of their beauty is of interest?

You know I’m always being accused of hating women, and I really don’t but sometimes its really tempting to just generalize and run with it.

For example I just got a new job and there’s a relatively attractive young woman working there, who is married and such, and I have absolutely no interest in her sexually or otherwise, she’s truly just a co worker to me, but I have a habit of smiling and waving when I see people I know, and I still feel new at work so I’m trying to be as nice as I can to people, so I smile and nod at her or whatever whenever I catch her eye, and she makes it a point to look away from me without responding.

I know why. She’s afraid that I want to fuck her and she has no interest in me at all. Which is fine except that I have no way of dispelling this assumption. I am forever convicted of being a horny walking hard on just looking for a dickless crotch to sniff just because I have a penis. Or more importantly because she’s totally a product of The Company.

I am somehow the bad guy here. It is assumed because I’m male I want to fuck her. Now, I don’t in this instance, but really, what if I did? We as a country spend more money on cosmetics then health care, and these barbies damn sure enjoy the result of being lusted after. I’m tired of being the pervert just because I don’t measure up, when and if I was a ripe blood sausage yearning for a new leech suddenly all those smiles and nods would land me a blow job in the bathroom instead of this look like I got caught watching her take a dump in a public restroom and then stealing her panties.

See its fine for me as a man to cry at night, building lame ass mix tapes and writing awful poetry thinking I’m in love when all I really need is a good long screw. To The company It’s fine if I spend every waking minute of my entire adult life busting my ass for funds and spending them on everything from ax body spray to bow flex to Ferrari and work/obey/conform/consume with sufficient vigor, trying to please these vapid little wenches, sure. So long as I keep my suffering to my goddamn self if I’m not Brad Pitt, or at least as close as cute broad #562348562349 is gonna get thus far.

Its the same with every pretty girl. I swear that 12 year old had it right, being pretty equals being skinny and mean.

You express an interest and if you’re not the sort of mindless money making machine control freak abusive asshole that women seem to adore these days, or they already have said money slave and you aren’t good enough at a millisecond’s glance to trade up for, you’re somehow being offensive and ‘perverted’. Its like a whole society of cheerleaders in hot pants that say ‘juicy’ across the tush whining about sexual harassment and their mother’s lamenting the teen pregnancy rate in between Miss Ana Preteen USA pageants.

What triggered this post is a girl I know online had a picture and it was very small and it was cute, like a thumbnail of a famous girl. I figured it was just that. Lotza people choose to not use their real pics online, and thats fine, but I was curious, if she’s hot it has an impact on the relationship. I’m supposed to pretend its not a factor? I lie for no one. Nothing people hate more than honesty, let me tell you.

Anyway..

So I ask her, is that you? She says yes, I see her avatar change a bunch of times, but I also see tons of other people straight up lie about their faces, so I ask her if she’s really cute, I meant it as a gesture of trust, I wanted to try and make it clear I’m a friend regardless. She could be a 200 year old turtle for all I care.

And what happens? I get a ‘yes I’m hot please stop asking’ and public proof of said hotness. Or at least as close to proof you can get this side of a web cam.

Stop asking? WTF!?

Why do I suddenly feel like I should have soiled panties in my left hand and child porn in the right while I hammer the back half of a vinyl encased sheep?

I just gotta say for the record that is bloody unfair ladies.

You bust ass to be hot, make it public, expect all men to bust ass to compete for you, call your hotness a part of your identity, use metaphors for sex to describe and define your gender and love as often as I use vowels, and yet if I respond accordingly, and I’m not captain pennyworth six pack the human fuck machine with a dick made of chocolate that ejaculates money, *I’m* the one with a problem and unrealistic expectations?!?

Fuck that.

Just like my other work about mixed signals, if you can’t even handle a question, if you don’t even wanna TALK about it, here’s a tip. You don’t have to show anyone your face. Throw on a fucking burka, since you’re content to throw away the proceeds of the women’s lib movement by latching onto the dork of some rich white whale like a lamprey to a trout’s belly anyway.

No, I don’t hate women, I’m just damn tired of spoiled brat princess whores too weak to be prostitutes or good old fashioned (bless each and every one of them) sluts, treating me like I’m a goddamn monster for being born with a y chromosome.

Self Defense: Rashgallivak

Mar 15

Posted by admin in None

Rashgallivak: “You didn’t pass your English classes in school, did you?”

False dichotomy. As Frank Zappa and Ray Bradbury, not to mention the millions that live and die, before or around, formal education as you know it, have shown through thought, speech, and action, education simply does not equal intelligence or ability.

If education equals anything its indoctrination. Wiki does not make me pledge allegiance to anything and the library does not care if I have a gun in my backpack, savvy?

All education means is picking a side and paying your membership dues.

Fuck education, I prefer learning, knowledge, and skill.

Besides, even if I did have a problem with English, which is laughable (and I did) I might add, why assume that its my fault? Do Italian people have to take Italian all the way through college?

Look at this shit. (link to simplified spelling society arguments for English reform)

So yes I passed English class, but even if I hadn’t asking that question reveals your own ignorance far more effectively then a negative answer to your question would have revealed mine.

Have a sweet day.

A Cryptarian’s perspective of Quantum Mechanics, Religion, and Zen.

Mar 15

Posted by admin in Logic

QM assumes a non deterministic multiverse. (A “new” term I’m going to have to use to provide a floor.)

QM, creates the need for a new floor since they’ve taken a word which previously meant everything (universe) and made it plural, to confuse the issue. This is somewhat underhanded since they will no doubt liken this creation to the atom issue. Atom means uncuttable, but we did indeed cut atoms, and had to name the parts, still looking for that uncutable fundamental particle. This change in terminology was demanded by hard physical evidence that demanded a change in perspective. QM is not like this at all. Its not mechanistic at all in fact. It is interspersed with “theory” that amounts to faith. This is a perversion of the term thero as much as intelligent design’s use of it is.

Now, they say there are multiple universes. Whereas I take excepion to this on a semantic level. If this situation were to exist then the proper way to refer to it in my opinion would be to site our universe and it’s physics as the “observable universe” and everything out side of it as the “unobservable universe”.

Why do they not do this you may ask? Because they do not wish to announce that QM is effectively a new mysticism, not even a developed religion. I don’t have a problem with this directly. I just dislike the inherent deception and obfuscation.

Why do I say it’s a new religion? Because other groups of people have been purporting to have information from outside the observable universe for the duration of our existence. And arriving at a conception of the unobservable is the same whether it is the result of hallucinogenic plants, brain quirks, or esoteric arcane maths.

What if I were to refer to the totally of multiple universes physics and logics as a universe? Would there suddenly be extra dimensions and universes outside this new one simply because I’ve renamed it?

If the doctrine of observation directly affecting the nature of reality is to be believed then the answer amazingly becomes yes.

While I find this idea appealing and beautiful, I also find it completely fantastic. Given this infinity of options, one could argue that everything (has+is+will) occurs. And further it would mean that imagining it, (being a non deterministic collapsing of probability waves forms) would simultaneously be our ‘fault’ and real. Thus, every horrible thing you’ve ever even imagined, you caused to actually happen somewhere.

That’s dreadfully close to sinful thoughts, or thought-crime, to me. (…or encoraging of apathy, whichever.)

Since these external universes are admittedly unobservable, then they must not be connected to our universe, either that or they are connected but are simply unobservable from this direction/position.

So which is it? They are connected and there and observable and thus not really external universes at all but merely difficult to observes portions of ours.

Or they are not connected, and are thus totally unobservable with differing physical law (and thus presumably logic) making any inference about them at a distance a matter of faith.

I see turtles all the way down, only its ‘universes’ instead of turtles and ‘out’ instead of down.

Occam’s razor cuts this to pieces as easily as it does any other religious cosmology. QM is just as much an infantile scientific reaction, as claiming an omnipotent god is.

Science toddler: “We don’t need your god to explain existence we have Universes all the way out!”

Religion toddler: “Yea well my god can kick your god’s ass, he’s all powerful!”

The adult perspective, which I’ve called Cryptarianism, since no one else seems to want to name this particular conflux of ideas, (beyond the political sphere) is that religion and science answer fundamentally different questions.

QM is to science as Creationism is to Religion. Both represent each respective field attempting to answer a question outside of their bounds. Religion answers why, which is deeply subjective and does not need evidence, Science answer how which is deeply objective and requires no feeling. Simply put scinece is about how stuff works, religion is about why stuff exists.

Obviously how and why are question one can ask about the same universe, but this does not mean that how and why will ever yield the same answers. Both camps assume an absolute logic, but neither camp is willing to carry that logic to its absolute extreme end no matter how unavoidable.

The simple fact that science rejects is, reality existing at all is a mystical event, and thus some degree of mysticism is required if you intend to be aware.

The simple fact that religion rejects is that this existence given its obvious mystical origins can be ‘understood’ in any meaningful sense based on observation and experimentation, but obviously it can, just not the reasons for it. The reason is and always will be a matter of faith.

The inescapable logical conclusion that would simply tear society apart if it were applied to the ideological foundations of human perception and society is that free will simply cannot exist, there is no difference between living and dead matter, separation of any sort is an illusion, and all ‘something’ is composed of ‘nothing’.

This may sound familiar. Zen? The Zen perspective attempts to incorporate elements of both, while denouncing the terminology, saying that some things are unknowable unspeakable timeless, etc. A math based on zeros. Much like reality. But Zen still ends up being one or the other.

Zen Toddler: Reality can be observed and understood.

Science Toddler: See I told ya.

Religious Toddler: But what about mysticism?

Zen Toddler: Reality cannot be observed and understood.

Sci/Reg Toddlers: Which is it?

Zen Toddler: Neither. Both. Mu.

A lack of answer is not an answer.

Zen is the equivalent of people saying the question cannot be answered as a sufficient answer in and of itself, at which point they begin to meditate, which is simply starving their brains of fuel until this non answer is satisfactory. (look up the anatomy of the meditative brain’s blood supply)

There are two ways of looking at the multiverse from a search for origins perspective. Either it is non causal and caused itself and that’s a sufficient answer which is hard to accept given the tendency to ‘view’ that concept from a mental ‘outside’ and then effectively looking around and saying “well yea but what does THAT exist in, in the ‘first’ place”. As humans it’s hard to realize there may be no ‘first place’.

The second way is seeing reality as a whole and then seeing whatever is outside it as making it and enforcing the rules, which is the perspective I prefer, but the point is both are true. The only thing that changes is your perception of it.

Grass is always greener.

QM at its basic level is the idea that a range of answers is an answer. QWM also strongly suggests that knowing something makes it exist.

Take the position of en electron or photon for instance. The UP says we can’t know it’s location and velocity at the same time. So its position and velocity must be calculated or understood as a probabilistic framework. Making an educated guess as to where it might be.

QM is a tool for understanding reality, it is not reality itself. Whether or not we can determine the electrons position and velocity has no impact on it having a position and velocity.

In order for a range of answers to be accepted as an answer, an answer must not be aquisable. therefor QM must assert that observation of reality is reality. to me this is intellectual slight of hand.

Because with a sufficiently braod prbability framework you can predict everything in advance so long as you accept a range of answrr as an answer.

It’s like asking me what is 9999 to the 99th power, and I say “somewhere between 0 and infinity” and then being hailed as a genius when someone else whips out a computer. Am I really all that smart or did I just cast a broad net? QM to me is the same way. Sure experimentation will produce results predicted by QM, but that does not mean QM is reality.

Sorry folks but the cat is either dead or alive. Whether or not we can open the box.

Company Girl

Company Girl

I find myself using this term a lot so I’m going to make a post that defines it.

Quite simply a company girl is anyone who chooses to profit from the same system of exploitation and deception The Company uses.

Company people are like the trustees of the prison we live in and are in fact much worse than the guards, because they aid in the exploitation of others out of fear or greed without any real understanding or concern.

The difference between a Company person and an actual agent of The Company is that The Company person has no idea what’s actually going on, most likely as a result of willful ignorance.

The Company girl will rattle off about the evils of advertising but yet still do her best to come across as sexually attractive as per the company definition because it simply makes life easier for her.

Company people are the types so eloquently expressed by the Oingo Boingo lyric. “Sipping down his gin and tonics, while preaching about the evils of narcotics, and the evils of sex, and the wages of sin while he mentally fondles his next of kin”

The bottom line is this. If you don’t feel like an outsider, you’re probably a hypocrite. It’s hard distancing yourself from The Company. If you’re having an easy time of it you’re probably being co-opted.

Self Defense: Company Girl

Mar 15

Posted by admin in Psychology

This is an exchange I had with yet another Company Girl on Stumbleupon. This post is special in that it is the shortest amount of time it took to go from total stranger to name calling to blocked.

I find that the people who I’m wrong about stand up and debate it and we usually end up being friends, but if I’m dead on, I get a whining pouting vitriolic reaction typified by the one below.

This one covers all the bases. She tried to attack virtually everything that a stranger can attack.

I find it adorable and quite telling.

(Name hidden to prevent whining.)

1:39pm How truly bizarre. I just read your ‘review’ and it doesn’t actually make any sense. Its as though you’ve gone off on some weird rant that has everything to do with you and absolutely nothing to do with me or anything I’ve posted. Being nothing but gratuitously abusive isn’t really expressing an opinion… is it ? I know abuse is your online ‘act’ but really .. this is intellectually bankrupt and isn’t worthy even of you … :) )

1:53pm Yes yes bury your head in the sand, pretend I didn’t even make an argument, attack the messenger.

How original.

I suppose I shouldn’t expect much more from a girl who lifted her avatar right out of cosmo.

1:58pm I’ve heard from quite a few people that you have this ‘problem’ with girls online … but really SU isnt supposed to be psycho-therapy. What you wrote .. referencing the ‘sexuality’ element of my days post .. made absolutely no sense at all. You were talking about something entirely different than what I wrote about. The review was about *you* .. not about me. I’ll debate my liberal credentials with most people, but they have to at least make sense. Incidentally .. you included a couple of links in your review .. one to your own blog .. thats really not acceptable and its an abuse of the review system. You should remove them ..:)

2:13pm *rolls eyes* So when ad hom didn’t work now its the argument from authority. So fact is a matter of vote? Can we all get together and vote on cancer being unreal then?

“You were talking about something entirely different than what I wrote about.”

No actually I wasn’t. That’s the point, drone. Of course I don’t expect you to understand or even be open to the fact that there is a possibility that you don’t understand.

“Thats really not acceptable and its an abuse of the review system.”

Yea I’m sure you find my work unacceptable considering that it basically shows that your whole worldview is a sham.

I’m done wasting my time on you, if you wish to debate publicly I’m all for it. You’re beyond help, far too drunk on attention to be of any intellectual value.

________________________________________

(Name hidden to prevent whining.)

2:21pm *laughing* .. your ‘work’ ? Well thats the best laugh I’ve had today…:)) Anyway … thats not the point . The fact is that including external links to your own sites under the guise of reviewing is an abuse of the review system and I routinely block and remove the reviews of the spammers who do it. Its up to you but I don’t provide a platform on my site for abusive rants or spamming for external sites. Anyway .. try to relax .. honestly being the playground bully is *not* going to make any girl online take ytou seriuously or take any notice of you .. believe me .. just some friendly advice ..:))

And finally, the reason I’ve posted it is because she blocked me, thus trying to deny me of my right to response. Whiny little girls are SO fond of this. The internet equivalent of a crank call.

So here it is. My response:

Am I supposed to be concerned that you think badly of my work? You have the intellectual value of a tick in my estimation. Just because you typed that you were laughing am I supposed to start crying now? I love how some people never leave grade school.

Including external links is my right, especially if the whole of the link’s content is my material. It’s called citation. I’ve established my opinion on the subject before and you’re not worth the duplication of effort, hence the link. Calling me a spammer is slander (libel?), I don’t make a dime from any of my online work. If you want to imply a breech of protocol you should look to yourself first.

And finally what makes you think I’m at all concerned what any “girl” thinks of me?

That type of assumption is exactly the kind of sexism I’m trying to kill.

News flash: Men can be motivated by things other than sex.

Thanks for the material sugar, its been a real gas :)

The New World: Sexuality and Love

Mar 15

Posted by admin in Philosophy

This is my general view of how I see the future sexually.

I envision a world where sexual expression is a human right. As a result sexual diversity would reign supreme and musicians would stop being pg-13 strippers.

I envision a world where if a woman wants to trade money for sex, she’ll not be jailed or stigmatized. As a result advertising would have to use something other than sex to sell products.

I envision a world where sex bots radically reduce or eliminate everything from rape and pedophilia, to abortion and STDs.

I envision a world where gender becomes a spectrum rather than a binary, and a simple gene therapy treatment allows you to safely and nearly costlessly slide to any point on said spectrum.

I envision a world without the pressing and primitive need to own your own human under the guise of “relationship.”

I envision a world where you think about the next 1000 years with your mates.

I envision a world where every child is born in love and received with enthusiasm.

Do you like these things? If so you need to do the following.

Eliminate compulsory monogamy.
Eliminate sexual censorship.
Speak out on unrealistic gender based demands.
Understand that masculism is as (in)valid as feminism.
Break the word love into a thousand more specific and accurate terms, demystify it.

And most importantly annihilate any association love has with money, duty, or guilt.

For too long love has been the cattle prod, and black jack The Company uses to control us.

Love is the greatest inborn human gift reality has seen fit to give us. Using the shadow of it to sell product, force patriotism, and/or propagate religion, is a crime against humanity in every sense of the phrase.
