“Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do.” – Ronald Reagan, 1981

“A tree is a tree. How many more do you have to look at?” – Ronald Reagan, 1966, opposing a proposed expansion to Redwood National Park as Governor of California

And similarly, water is water, so how many more times would you need to drink it?  In my perspective, being near trees and plants, communicating with plants, and staying curious, are all an essential part of being a human.  To unplug from nature is to kill one’s self, on many levels.

In Anglo moral nihilism, I use the term “Anglo,” because this is indeed a white supremacy issue – if two white men can put it on a piece of paper, it doesn’t matter nothing about who may be a hater, because it’s pedal to the floor, full speed ahead, everybody else can fucking end up dead.  Treaties between whites and non-whites really amount to nothing throughout history, little more than a “Hey, let’s stop slaughtering your people for a year or two.” Anglo society revolves tightly around the “market,” and the drawbacks are broad, subtle, and sometimes even brutally violent.  And I use the term “moral nihilism,” because it essentially boils down to words justifying murder by arguing morality doesn’t exist.  Ending another’s life early is murder, no exceptions!

Rupert Murdoch presents an ideal defense of Anglo moral nihilism in his recent op-ed piece, “The Case for the Market’s Morality,” where he writes,

“So long as we allow the debate to be framed by people who think the market is efficient because it is based on a human failing, we are going to lose.”

 

In my view, so long as we are able to allow the debate to be framed by those who think the market is efficient at all, we are going to lose.  No one says the markets function because of greed – the markets just don’t function at all, often because people choose greed.  Sure, wealthy Americans get the “stuff” they want, but globally, the “free markets” remain inaccessible to most people.  This is changing, in some places for the better, but the idea that our markets are “efficient” is defeatist, and suffocates innovation.

Poor incentives for innovation in the “markets”

Further, innovation, effort, and exertion aren’t best incentivized by money.  Just look at how NCAA athletes’ effort (unpaid people), versus the effort of professional athletes.  Many people say college kids try harder and have more loyalty, even though they’re not paid.  Even further, Nicola Tesla died a pauper, though he revolutionized our understanding of physics.  Our economy rewards those who steal, not those who innovate.  When artists and innovators become salespeople is when the consumerism has truly won.  Society should support its artists and innovators directly, rather than forcing each individual to take all the risk.  Art and science grants are a great place to look if this resonates with you.

We have to understand basic things like the fact that more than enough food is produced to feed the world – inefficient distribution processes prevent this food from reaching the hungry.

As contraception is denied to billions, the rich and powerful speak of totalitarian population control to the “one family policy,” which creates grotesque gender imbalance problems.  Rather than allow people to freely choose to have smaller families, as we have watched occur all over the world (where birth control is available), others seek to forcibly reduce world population by 95%.  In this way, the “free” of the world control and rob the freedom of others.

Moral nihilists are people who believe no morals exist.  The only law is “Because I can.”  They think that because they personally have enough, then the markets are truly efficient.  When there is so much unpunished guilt, and so much ignored genocide, the markets, too, are guilty, and owe a debt to those from which they stole.

No, the market’s aren’t “moral,” and the extent to which we can, today, choose to be moral, but don’t, is the extent to which the markets are not moral.  Anglo moral nihilism is what sets in when we just apathetically give up, and remain skeptical.  Skeptical indifference is the death of curiosity, and intellectual life.

American politicians get so easily distracted by Solyndra scandals – which may as well have been a puppet shown by big oil.   In the worst possible case, Solyndra was a bureaucratic failure; not a problem with solar energy itself.

Solar really does work.  So does wind.  And geothermal, and hydro and tidal.  All of which are enough to power our planet. (source)

We don’t need nuclear, and we don’t need consumerism either.

We can have self driving hemp based cars powered by sustainable energy – but somehow the bureaucracy stands in the way.  We have to put the money in the investment, and then we’ll see the result.

The problem in America is that we’re just not doing anything. Our politicians are more focused on the latest crisis than investing in the future.  China, unlike America, realizes that corporations, governments, corporato-governocracies - they’re all just ways of organizing human beings.  We in America are letting the structure of society distract us from the output.

Phantom Solar panels at the White House?

As Obama’s turn at the helm winds down, and as the pendulum of the politically fickle American electorate swings back to the right, we’re wondering: could we ever see solar panels on the White House again?  Jimmy Carter famously installed solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1979 during a heinous energy crisis and the emergence of OPEC, and the panels were removed by Reagan in 1981 in one of his first acts as president.  Obama hasn’t shown us he disagrees.

Obama promised, spoke of, and indicated that solar panels would be on the White House by some time in 2011, and we’re still waiting.  What could be a higher priority than energy independence and clean air?

With time running out, in so many ways, we’re wondering – when will we figure it out with energy?  We can do this!  Up until now, we’ve just shown we don’t want to.  If you’re one of the ones who wants change, at least click the above image with Obama for a link to a relevant petition.  Internet petitions don’t change everything, but something’s  better than nothing.

The below chart gives us context while we speak of investment in renewable energy.  Those “conservatives” in America who would question continued investment in solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and tidal would be wise to remember – these 5 have received less than 3% the total federal historical energy subsidies.

Just as the economic money-blood flows through a society, guilt and innocence are transferable.  And as much as it is more an intense bond to have empathy and love flowing within a family or communal group of people, guilt and innocence flow more intensely through families.

This is simply the way things are, this isn’t an opinion.  I won’t speculate about how things should or shouldn’t be.

It happens frequently that someone commits a crime so heinous and destructive that the guilt of the crime overwhelms their personhood; no amount of torture or pain in this world could ever make up for the damage caused by this (hypothetical) crime.

Thus, the guilt spills over to the family and community around the guilty criminal – does this community ignore the crime, or do they hold the criminal accountable?

Too often, situations in our world end with unanswered injustice.  The loose ends of innocence are mounting in number, and as the guilty walk free, victims unable to do the same, the family and society which accepts that guilty person also absorbs the guilt.

In this way, the families of the murdered police are guilty.  In this way, all American citizens are guilty of ignoring the largest genocide our planet’s ever witnessed.  In this way, to become aware in America and not act is to become guilty.

This is only the way it is.  This is not belief.

This is why too many people have such a skewed version of guilt and innocence – it hides their own, personal guilt of inaction.  Too often, we view guilt as a decision for authority, and we outsource our moral reasoning to lawyers, who view guilt as non-transferable.  Guilt is transferable (to the degree that it is unpunished), and we don’t need to pay a lawyer to know it; we don’t need to pay a priest to know what’s a crime.

This societal guilt-leak I’m speaking of is what occurs when a crime goes unpunished.  It is attempting to understand the degree to which the inaction of society can cause an increase in guilt of another person.

Yes – a person can become guilty by participating peacefully with the already guilty, yet unprosecuted.  All that remains is for we human beings to become aware of our own ability to look within ourselves for moral timeless guidance, and to judge  innocence and guilt for ourselves.

All I did was publish this crushing critique of the Catholic organization, and not even 10 months later, the Pope’s stepping down for the first time in over 600 years, not even a half dozen instances of this in all of Catholic history.  Clearly, the Pope was confronted with the truths I presented (such as how the Abrahamic 10 Commandments have failed as both positive and normative statements, and instead, we should follow nature’s 10 commandments, which include prohibitions of things like incest, cannibalism, etc.).

The main point of this update is that we need to take this chance to work out all the internal conflicts, obstacles, knots, and unexamined spots within ourselves, and we need to realize that they’re nothing – we need to remove the obstacles to being human.

Today is Sunday, February 31, 2013, aka March 3, 2013.  But calendarship is irrelevant – trust only what is real, not what is on paper (too many are hypnotized by paper).  Trust the Sun, the Moon, trust water, soil, reality, and love.  Don’t trust paper.

When you read this, consider the importance of Jesus’s emphasis on wealth – it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.  The Catholic Church, and the Pope, are some of the richest organizations and people on Earth.  Think about how much of a contradiction this is!  It’s a direct contradiction of the direct language of Jesus!  

There are so many contradictions with the Catholic doctrine, we lose track, and it just fades away into this haze of confused guilt.  Just take the garbage to the curb!  Be brave and hit reboot!  You can keep practicing what you practice, just don’t create hate, and make sure the future generations know the truth.

Primary Enemy: Usury

Usury is the collection of interest on present wealth, it is the collection of profit on loans, it is the foundation of the global financial system, and it is totally unnecessary.

As we see in the below video, Catholic doctrine historically outlawed usury (Orthodox Judaism and Islam still do), but changes (and rumored infiltrations) in the Renaissance allowed this crucial, perhaps subtle, change.

Especially to those on the political left: Money is not the enemy – currency will always exist, even if it’s rice.  Usury is the enemy.  To correct the currently doomed trajectory of humanity, we must be like Jesus, and we must flip the tables of usury, and ban it.  The only “system” this would collapse is the irrelevant media, military, and Catholic church which sits like a wart on humanity’s face.

I forgot to mention usury in the video I recorded, but it’s an important topic, so I’m mentioning it here in the accompanying blog post.

Overall, I wish everyone good health, positive energy, and well being, on this first Sunday of a Pope-less modern world.  Let’s not lose the significance of this falling on the 13th year of the millennium.

Let’s be human together! 

Get back at me!

I want to hear everyone else’s rant about the Pope and the Catholic Church, post your thoughts in the comments, record a video of your own, and contribute to the acknowledgement of the terrible guilt of the Catholic organization, and the need to simply be human together!

Also, I’m always looking for other contributors for guest posts, let me know if you’re interested.  If you consider yourself a Pythagorean, and your content’s confirming that, then hey, get it up here.

To finish, here’s a poem on the realization of the guilt of the human super-structures of our world, primarily Catholicism.  It’s called Nimbus Cumulando, and it’s a must must read if you like the linguistic freedom poetry can open up, and you want more on this topic.

Prologue:

Like a single long strand
of human DNA,
98% inert,
only 2% actively
selecting protein for the cell,
I hope this sacred poem
can enter your open mind,
become alive
and multiply;
I couldn’t expect you to
instantly memorize
the full 100%,
of this genetic key,
I mean,
come on,
we’re only human,
but if you can store away
just 2% within your chest,
a couplet even…
well, you’d be infinitely blessed.

Context-enhancing phrase definition to be used below:

everybody else can fucking end up dead.

Broken treaties
broken bones
broken bullet holding shells
laying so still in their shallow little graves,
all beneath the blood stained
amber waves of GMO grain
of the great haunted plains.

When the passionate life energy
of a moment contains too much soul
to be expressed in real time,
ghosty particles get left behind,
like electrons shooting photons
when they change orbital state,
they wander like the tide,
pulled toward the remaining living,
who channel and know,
like magic magnets
pulling Minie balls
through fresh laid snow.

Red for the valor
and spinal fortitude.
Blue for the biggest of the baddest of chiefs,
throw in some white and yellow to
invoke the A-I-M,
and black for the most heinous of sin,
free will assassination,
a pattern of death, repeated,
ignorantly link chaining in
a wild spirit stallion.

Mind the black hills;
they mined the black hills,
like oil rigs in Jerusalem
or meltdowns in Medina,
they mined the black hills,
in return for immediate,
soulless financial profit.
That’s what it looked like
when they spread apart
the lips of our mother,
when she was at her most vulnerable,
and no matter how hard She cried,
they still forced their shit inside.

Peace requires justice,
and justice needs awareness,
Wiesel tells us that the second death
in every genocide,
is denial,
just this sterile,
cold denial.
So we have the power
to resurrect these spirits,
right here
and
now.

In these great haunted planes,
of infinite dimension,
storm clouds rumble,
flat bottom apparition h two oh,
nimbus cumulando,
growing into space and time,
gathering awareness
into our collective mind,
concealing,
a hundred million angered
Jupiteric Zeuses, synergizing,
throwing lightning
like it’s 1999.

And no matter the passion
with which She sobbed and wept,
they still cracked our momma’s hymen
when they did their shitty theft.

Like shattered, scattered shrapnel,
her spirit still remains,
and it soaks into the soil
with the flash monsoonal rains,
bringing both fire and water
to these cracked, parched plains,
lightning shocks of conscious life
soothing second death’s pains.

The negative space,
comprised by those below,
they who weren’t allowed to be,
but had potential to do so,
follows our flat bottom thunderhead,
departing from the spiritual void
of Anglo moral nihilism,
arcing bolts of birth
between the Heavens and the Earth,
burning up this alien, oily,
blood-soaked wheat,
so maybe future generations
can start to love anew,
breathing moral life
into the red, black, and blue.

Every single line of this sacred poetry
shall land like an axe at the base of the tree,
of the Abrahamic non-morality
used by the hollow ass economy
we consider to be our society,
where each splintering blow
sends up shocks and shivers
to the highest of leaves,
which should cause sobs and heaves,
crying sudden flooding rivers.

Not because my blade hurts,
it ain’t you I’m after,
only because I pull back the veil,
of this sacred continent,
and pain of the ghosts -
trapped, forever haunting it.

Like magically magnetized
bullet shaped lead,
let’s start pulling out these slugs
from our hypnotized head.

Why ya fucking with me, man
why you stealing all my land?
Cuz I can, bitch,
ain’t no law but cuz-I-can.
I mean, you’re all drunk anyway,
we “accidentally” sent disease
to your weak ass bodies,
Europe was so crowded,
obviously we had to come!
How about you use a little family fucking planning,
instead of overcrowding your own home,
listening to the highest devil priest,
with his bloodthirsty sharpened up
Hitler-youth teeth,
through which he shouts
from the west to the east,
don’t use birth control,
make as many babies as you can,
let’s overpopulate these ugly godforsaken lands,
so that when the next world opens up,
we can destroy another culture
with our idle devil hands.

So goes
the swelling tide
of satanic meme-disease,
forever forming factions and fractions
of the original void of good,
into protestantism,
calvinism,
presby-this
and baptist that,
Jehovah this,
or mormon that.
It doesn’t fucking matter,
I got one word for it all:
monotheism.
And it’s wrong.
Simply incorrect.
They circled C
and the answer was D.
Simple truth,
simple powerful truth,
simple unchangeable truth:
maximize free will.

I mean they proudly killed their own savior,
they’re glad he died too young,
he could’a done a lot of miracles
at the age of sixty one.
They focus only on his pain,
they seek to destroy
their own ability
to channel God
as he did.

Please don’t be confused
if these words seem angry and hot,
my only emotion is love,
and then the sadness
which comes
when I see
the love that could be,
but based on soulless human error…
is not.

We were all born of a virgin, but
no matter how sad She cried,
they still broke our momma’s hymen
when they forced their shit inside.

simple truth,
simple truth,
simple truth:
by far,
it’s the world’s…
biggest…
geno…
cide.

It’s not like we’re piles of atoms to be born and killed,
we’re only patterns of freedom to be chosen, and willed.

Nimbus cumulando,
to pop those words a second time;
iambic Latin phrases
getting sticky in your mind.

When you define yourself causally,
instead of spacially,
and open up the flood gates
of creativity,
it becomes easy
to see
that one spirit
is we.

May this creepy melody
counteract their felony,
and echo up from
Her fracked out mind shafts
through Her cold, pillaged body,
shining light on forgotten ghosts,
bringing overdue rest
where it’s needed the most.

May this conjure up whatever
buried spirits can help,
now burnt into the fresh laid snow
reads nimbus cumulando,
for a third and final time…
now we can only die forever
or evolve our human mind.

I’m a scorpio, baby, only got one sting,
SoIhope we know I won’t be missing as I’m aiming for this king.

said I’m a scorpio, baby, only got one sting,
SoIhope we know I won’t be missing as I’m aiming for this king.

Our cities are graffiti on the surface of the Earth
and graffiti in our cities do alleviate its hurt.

Every diet’s different, but I encourage you to become aware of what goes on to get that meat on your plate.  Beef is an extremely inefficient way of creating the protein your body needs to survive.

The base-level foundation diet I try to innovate from is kale and quinoa.  I’m operating on the theory that a human doesn’t need anything beyond that, and water, and fruit, to survive. 

On top of that, I throw in chocolate, wine, and anything as long as it’s vegan, especially pizza or doughnuts.  Not that I’m vegan, but if it’s vegan, it’s just not going to creep me out.

Our world is on a doomed trajectory, but

you can do something about it – think of eating less meat as directly acting to improve the environment, humanity’s well being, and overall basically just saving the world.  Anytime you heard a sad story in the news, just connect it to eating meat.  This is the good fight, and the meat battle affects everything, with many, many good ramifications beyond health. 

While we’re on the topic of actionable tasks, we should also get rid of our cars, and instead bike everywhere, choosing living and working spaces so this is possible, but this is a harder task – eating less meat is something you can do RIGHT NOW.

Personally, I did get rid of my car about 18 months ago, and I’ve been biking and using public transit.  Some of the busses are zero-emission, and the BART is above 90% sustainable powered (last time I checked).

Why is Fish Different?

In non-polluted areas, you could pick a fish out of the ocean and eat it like a meat-sickle.  No cooking, just take a big juicy bite and start taking bones out of your mouth.  You won’t get sick, you’ll just get fed.  It’s not a comfortable way to eat, but it’s not going to make you ill…

…But try this with a chicken or cow, and you will get sick, because they’re just filthy animals.  There’s e-coli, I’ve even had salmonella (in 2002) and I can personally attest, it’s not fun.  Chicken and beef are meats that are literally poisonous until profusely burned by kitchen utensils.  Not too natural in my view.

Fish are wild, and almost every last land-based animal is farmed. The process of fishing is less destructive of the environment, and can basically be done sustainably.

I don’t eat a lot of fish, but fish also aren’t mammals, and in my view, mammals are a higher category of consciousness, and should just be treated as friends.  Why would I eat hyper-telepathic dolphin or whale?  That’s basically conscious cannibalism.

Bottom line:

Next time you want ribs, just eat kale, wait, and everything will be fine.  Do it!

Why Be Vegan When Nature Is Predatory?

10 Reasons to Be Vegan

If you’ve ever wondered about something greater, ever wondered if the world could be better, if you’ve ever been left hanging by flaky pseudo-logic, if you’ve ever disagreed but been forced to comply, then all of the following is for you:

Here is a biography on Pythagroas, for whom this perspective is named.  The universal aspects of his ideas are quite applicable in today’s world.

Pythagoreanism = a perspective

Maximize free will = morality = philosophy = destiny

Everything can be derived from this morality.  The idea is to maximize free will with every decision, by making choices that result in more, better options, rather than fewer, or worse options.  This may seem obvious, but it is the guiding moral compass of all life, so it’s worth mentioning even though it may already be clear.

Verbalization is our primary avenue of communication, it’s a good method, allowing images to be built easily.  It’s often wise to examine single words when dealing with a philosophy as brief as “maximize free will.”  The word “maximize” is straightforward enough for now, so let’s think about the phrase “free will:”

“Will” is a block of impenetrable positive space.  It is a wall in the desert.  It is a soldier at a roadblock.  It is a definitively chosen action.  It is a positively asserted idea.  It is a solid shape.  It is something with which one must comply.

“Free” is negative space, more ephemeral, it the sand and air of the desert, the fluid material flowing between the walls and through labyrinthine hallways, the liquid, the potentially chosen action.

The combination of the free and the will is elemental contrast, it is an atom of information, it is the sacred union, it is the key of fragile and potential immortality, it is the spine of all life in all universes.

Today’s standard computers are only unalive because they lack the “free” aspect of free will.  Computers are only hard programmed will.  There is nothing free about them.

So much of our modern economic society (the one in which the “mainstream” is continuously up for auction) hinges on hiding truth from everyday people.  From priests who intrusively assume the role of conduit between human body and human spirit (pervertedly trading money in return for alleviation of moral guilt), to politicians who demand donations so that they may continue to lay indecipherable code between democracy and action, to bankers who ensure that finance is far too complex for anything less than full time attention, to lawyers who obfuscate the law so that they may be paid as a conduit between humans and the laws which govern human society, to philosophy professors who urge us that morality is complex and poorly understood – we live in a society dedicated to obscuring truth and charging people for untanglement.

It would maximize free will to lay off all practitioners of the above professions, care for them, and allow them to meditate with their full time effort.  This isn’t to imply that any individuals are at fault, the only idea is that we need a system change so that individuals can be more free to learn, teach, and create.

Despite what we’ve been taught, morality is simple.  Maximize free will.  The application of this idea is only as complex as life on Earth.

The complexity of life on Earth lends itself to these 10 immediate deductions, based on the ultimate morality of free will maximization.

Nature’s 10 commandments

1. No incest
2. No cannibalism
3. No sex with anything other than a willing adult of your same species
4. No touching poop or pee
5. Learn how to be social
6. Have lots of sex (Be safe, but seriously.  Lots.)
7. Eat what tastes good
8. Love your family
9. Accept responsibility for your actions
10. Wonder about a world greater than this

Unlike the failed monotheistic or Abrahamic commandments (which were neither wise nor obeyed by history), these commandments are universally obeyed by all life, and these commandments should be obeyed by all life.  Things are as they should be, in that broad sense.

To channel free will is to be conscious and alive.  Free will is an energy; it can be neither created nor destroyed, only channeled, diverted, focused, observed, and experienced.  Consciousness is the by-product of the naturally occurring process of free will flowing through the enormous amount of information stored within our minds.

For example: If Earth were the size of an orange, its surface would be smoother than glass.  Mountains are high, but our planet is literally so enormous that you wouldn’t notice anything except for maybe a tiny hairline knick in the glass, and that’s the Marianas trench.

Make no mistake, we are in an oppressive dark age.  We do not own our own time, and because we individuals are defined by our presence in space-time, we do not own ourselves, and we are enslaved (though for some it is a benevolent enslavement, but the vast majority is not so lucky).  Bigger bombs, gadgets, and other technology have yet done nothing to alleviate this.  So be my guest.  We can have a dark age for as long as we’d care to.  Someone later on, or earlier, somewhere else, is making singularities, and it’s just that they’re the ones having all the fun.  It’s the fomo background radiation of the universe, and it sufficiently motivates my desire to contribute to the instigation of free will maximizations of this kind now in our shared world.

Free will being maximized is like the shape of the surface of a planet.  There are often obvious deviations from the normal horizon line, which we see as mountains, valleys, or any kind of human structure.  Positive space blocks the sky, the sunlight, the heavens, and so on, but ultimately, it all averages out and becomes the curve of the sphere of our world.

From the higher-up perspective, from the more God-like perspective, it’s just a perfect sphere with maybe a knick, but nah, it’s just really beautiful, just a really perfect pleasing shape, a beautiful specimen of the sacred geometry, totally conducive to the freely willed informational frequencies of much higher channelling capacity bandwidth.  As perfect as the sphere of Earth would be, if held in a hand, free will is maximized.  End of example.

There are many ways to meditate.  I do better when I try to connect every dimension of my perception of self to every possible dimension of the world around me, while suspended in mindful Dasein.

At this point, I’ve communicated my philosophy in its entirety, it’s up there on the blogosphere for free.  I’ve developed this philosophy gnostically, from within myself, drawing on the world around me only subconsciously.  I do think that truth comes from within, and in this way my, philosophy is a true addition to Pythagoreanism.

This website is about one simple thing – reviving Pythagoreanism.  Here’s what that means:

- understanding that at the fundamental level, our reality is comprised of numbers and mathematical patterns, not atoms, quarks, or strings, or whatever recursively smaller object scientists discover tomorrow

- practicing vegetarianism (get started here if you’re not a vegetarian already)

- accepting reincarnation as the true way of the world (energy can be neither created nor destroyed, neither can we)

- rejecting violent, ignorant, or monotheistic ways of thinking, and instead striving for greater consciousness, understanding, and empathy

Practicing these 4 habits will contribute immensely to world peace, and ignoring these 4 habits is to ignore the importance of peace.  If you can master these 4 habits, you’ll be a Pythagorean, along with whatever else you are.  It’s nice knowing that we can be spiritual and still enjoy free will.

What are your thoughts?  Did I leave out something important about Pythagoreanism?  I’d love to hear from you!  Let me know in the comments or via Twitter.  Take care, and maximize free will!

For example, 99% of white survival hinges on eating food inside buildings.  Sometimes whites eat food outside, but these are called “picnics,” and picnics are always surrounded by extended time spent inside buildings both before and after.

But to construct a building, to maintain a building, or to even keep a building clean, whites employ non-whites.  To grow or prepare food, whites employ non-whites.  Remember?  Whites are lazy.  Whites don’t physically, you know, “do” things.

This explains why Europe was so crowded and chaotic in the 1500s.  With all these demanding, lazy white people, things were filthy and broken down.  For the most part, whites would rather be beaten and abused than actually physically do anything.  Thus, there was a huge exodus to the new continent of America, where non-whites abounded.

To white people, “doing” something usually means filling out a form, shuffling paperwork, submitting applications, and generally seeking approval from authority for various things.  White people like to look as busy as possible while shuffling these papers; the strategy is to create problems only you can solve.

But survival is always a question – and this became an issue for the first pilgrims who ventured out of 1500s England to the Americas.  Unaccustomed to physically doing anything, the pilgrims were at a loss for how to obtain food.  “To whom do we submit our application for bread and gruel?” desperately wondered the pilgrims, as they wandered the forests near their pre-fab 1500s subdivisions.

Eventually, and thankfully for the pilgrims, they encountered some local indigenous Americans who happily provided food – no paperwork required.  The pilgrims felt awkward about the lack of paper, and submitted their forms to a random inebriated local Indian who thought the papers might later be useful as a soil additive, though he later found himself to be mistaken in this.

Thus, Thanksgiving began – a holiday celebrating the first time in American history when whites used the labor of non-whites to survive without providing anything in return (of course, except paper).  Needless to say, whites ran with the idea.

For whites, it was never a question of “How can we grow our food so we can survive,” it was immediately and always a question of “How can we use non-whites to grow our food and convince them to give it to us in exchange for paper while many of them starve?”

In use was special paper, of course, with complicated symbols, designs, and pictures; but still, never anything one could eat or physically use in any way, whatsoever.  Not even rice paper.

The hypnosis by paper was on, and whites were quickly in the lead.  Whites have used paper to justify the exploitation of farmworkers throughout history, right up to present day.
 Beginning as the practice of brainwashing children from birth and exploiting their labor for survival, which was often called “slavery,” to this day, whites have used hypnosis by paper to avoid any physical labor whatsoever.

Certainly, whites felt guilty about this, but that’s why there was the Civil War – which was fought over whether slaves could be owned, or rented out monthly.  The guilt whites naturally felt was funnelled towards something totally irrelevant (a nuance of paperwork), and the entire problem of exploitation, and white laziness, was allowed to continue unchanged.

The “rented out monthly” crowd won the Civil War, primarily because they had trains.  These train companies eventually took over the government and formed what is now called “the military industrial complex,” which really does nothing more than exactly what most white people want – using non-whites to do the strenuous physical labor of warfare, often sending them to faraway places on the corners of the Earth to fight other non-whites, which most whites (at least subconsciously) see as a win-win.

This does leave World War 2, which was fought almost exclusively by whites, against whites.  Of course, this moniker would be inappropriate if not for the Japanese military aggression, which was in large part carried out because Japanese elites wished they could be white.  If not for Japan, World War 2 would be correctly referred to as “European war #58.”

In World War 2, the new generation of whites learned (what almost each generation of their ancestors learned, also by trial and error) that war is brutally hard work, and eventually, they all just said “fuck it.”  This attitude spread over the warring European continent, and so whites started fighting exclusively by bombing each other from the comfort of a pilot’s chair.  World War 2 was fittingly brought to a close by using a lot of little bombs in Europe, and then using a few big bombs in Japan.

Part of this brainwashing is that whites think white is a “good” color, and that black is a “bad” color.  Then why do corpses turn white?  Why is it that a darker berry is sweeter?  There’s nothing inherently good or bad about any color, and the use of phrases like “black market, black magic,” or a “black mark” on a reputation, or a “white lie” being a less-serious lie, are all evidentiary of the brainwashing-by-paper which has been too successful.

But certainly, whites do think whites work hard.  Whites spend a great amount of time “working” at offices, but this “work” really is only about avoiding one’s own family while spending 70 hours a week dealing with paperwork.  Paperwork is funny, because one must remove the word “work” from the phrase (as it’s not real work), leaving us only with the word paper.  It really is just about pushing around paper.  While whites do spend obscene amounts of time at offices, what they exactly “do” really just involves solving nuanced problems regarding only paper – again, a problem of whites’ own creation in the first place.

Additionally, most whites no longer consider themselves to be racist.  “I mean, come on, it’s not like we enslave them anymore!”

Sadly, our world remains a place quite segregated by race.  Chicago is perhaps the most segregated city on Earth.  If there really was no racism, we’d see integration.  Segregation is used as a control tool.  For example, looking at India and Pakistan, which weren’t separate before the 1950s, where, in a futile attempt to maintain control over an enormous colony, the British segregated Hindus and Muslims.  Integration is the physical measure of the healing of racism.

Whites have survived by physically not doing anything, ever, but only by using paper to hypnotize non-whites to physically do everything necessary for survival.

Hopefully now it makes more sense why all “official” documents are only on the whitest of all bleached-white paper.

(Reuters) WASHINGTON DC – Congress has just announced the results of an unscheduled secret session, the unanimous passage of HR3295/SB229, commonly known as the “Babies and Kittens Act,” effective immediately, which requires all Americans to undergo dialysis twice a month,
to “clean out all terroristic tendencies and to foster greater patriotism and national security.”

In a White House press conference timed for release just after the congressional vote, president Worthingshire said, “You’re either with us, or you’re against us – and I’ll warn our enemies now, to stand against us is to stand against kittens.  And babies.  And that’s evil.”

He added, “Let us not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories suggesting that the Babies and Kittens Act is about anything except enhancing patriotism.”

The bill’s passage comes just on the heels of the tragic events of last week, in which we saw a coordinated attack against our great nation of the United States, destroying several monuments in the nation’s capital, as well as the 800 block of the accounting district in Manhattan, resulting in the loss of 4,000 American lives, an indefinite shut-down of the internet, and the erasure of all fraud records dating back to 1990.

CIA-funded terrorist group Al Maqqdah was quick to claim full responsibility for the attacks.  President Worthingshire’s approval rating skyrocketted to 98% after the tragedy, and he expects to “weed out” the remaining 2% before month’s end.

The political power of the kitten lobbyists had been growing exponentially since the advent of the internet, which allowed kittens to gain unparalleled attention through the deployment of Lolcats, which we now understand to be a coordinated psy-ops campaign funded by the CIA.  There are more than 150 times as many baby and kitten lobbyists than there are politicians in DC, and after the gift rules were erased last year, the kitten and baby lobbies have funneled an estimated $900 billion directly to senators and representatives, who were barred from collecting any official paycheck funded by taxpayer money, in the last-ditch effort to avoid the self-imposed “monetary chasm,” which would have otherwise dissolved the government entirely.

However it was the baby lobby that really ushered through the swift passage – Toby McFergussen, president of IBEW/NECCR Rights of the Unborn coastal 438 Delaware said, “It’s a great victory for babies everywhere!  Thank goodness the government now protects us from the dangers of having to filter our own blood.”

Just before inexplicably passing out on the hood of his Rolls Royce for 22 hours, Senator Chadwick Pilkington (D-CA) was quoted after the session on the steps of Capitol Hill saying, “It is, you know, a tad similar to being lobotimized, but, well, we think that’s great!  Wait, where am I?  Who are you people?”

Critics of the legislation questioned its enforceability, and so a provision was included to address failure by American citizens to undergo their monthly disalysis; the first offense results in a stiff verbal warning, the second offense results in a $10,000 fine, and the third offense results in jail time, during which the offender will be forced into dialysis, and then released.

 Critics of the legislation also complained that forcing otherwise healthy adults to undergo dialysis is counter to the hippocratic oath, but Senator Cambridgehampton (R-UT) responded, “It’s not like the hippocratic oath is in the bill of rights – even if it was, well, go fuck yourself, I’m a senator.”

Incidentally, both the kitten and baby lobbyist groups are owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch, but of course each were founded by Evelyn de Rothschild.

Certainly, forward time travel is possible – we do this at a constant rate, at every moment. To travel faster forward in time, there are methods like cryogenic freezing (which aren’t perfect now, but soon, they likely will be).

Why do we care?  Einstein’s relativity requires that backward time travel and faster-than-light travel are both impossible.  However, quantum physics has uncovered evidence which calls this into question, bringing the present discussion into the height of relevancy.

It’s a question upon which our entire cosmogony hinges – can causality, consciousness, information, mass, energy, free will, or human beings, travel backwards in time?

Based on a crude understanding of physics and relativity, such a question seems synonymous with a question of the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. As one hypothetically accelerates, approaching the speed of light, time slows down. For the photons created at the big bang, which have been travelling at the speed of light for the lifetime of our known universe, time hasn’t moved forward – they are frozen in a moment. To go faster than light implies that one would be moving backward in time.

Backwards time travel highlights a naturally existing phenomenon which is normally irrelevant to our existence – the creation of parallel universes. These universes are real, just like ours, but they’re slightly different, sharing common moments the way cousin-species share common ancestors.

To travel too far back in time, an individual might simply freeze to death, or burn, or simply die irrelevantly. One can’t just go back in time, throw a calculus textbook at a stegosaurus, go home, and instantly become the person that taught math to the dinosaurs. To make a difference in history, to change outcomes for the better, a time traveller must inject the exact information at the perfect moment.

Over geologic time, the goal of these time travelers is to maximize free will. Whether they pledge allegiance to a state, a religion, a company, a species, or whatever – they ultimately maximize free will. And to do this, time travelers inject themselves into the past, so that the people can learn faster, gain skills earlier, and develop technology sooner, allowing their own version of free will to be maximized.

Using time travel to seed more advanced, earlier realities isn’t a new idea – Arthur C. Clarke wrote a book about it called 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this book, proto-human cave dwellers encounter a rectangular monolith, blacker than the darkest black. They touch it, and come alive with the next level of humanity. This internal transformation is what Clarke begs us to imagine, as he also chronicles the first astronauts, as they discover the solar system, and later find another monolith, far from Earth.

In this way, life gets a crowbar in the elevator doors, as it were, and begins to pry them open with time travel. After not long, as the time travelers propagate through time and space, they control and exert their free will on a greater amount of reality.

In this perspective, it’s not at all about who got what first, it’s all about what one does once one gets it. For example, it’s not about who developed the violin first, it’s about the songs one writes on the violin.

The Terminator was wrong, because you can’t go back and kill the mother of your enemy. The only thing one can do is kill the identical mother of your identical enemy in a previously identical universe. In the original universe, the time traveler is gone. When an event occurs, such as a mother giving birth, this event can never be changed. This event is etched into the eternal immortality of our universe itself. What can be changed is this potential event in a functionally identical universe. So the Terminator would be most accurate to seed other realities where his enemy was not born, thus providing to his nearly identical twin(s) a less obstructed path to success.

To put this same idea differently, of all possible realities, there are similarities to the degree that there are inevitabilities. Where something is different in a parallel universe, there is free will. So where there is free will, otherwise parallel universes may differ, and there becomes an opportunity for time travelling free will to create realities where its decisions and choices have real effect. It literally seeds realities in which its will is done.

So rather than changing one’s own past, backward time travel could only be used to seed other realities where one’s will is done. For example, rather than changing our own reality’s history to avoid the destruction associated with World War 2, one could only hope to create alternate, and legitimately “real” parallel universes which very closely resemble our own, but where World War 2 never took place. Imagine what all that energy, effort, time, and money could have created if it had been dedicated to positivity!

Backward time travel seems to imply some kind of space-travel as well, using the term “space travel” in the most general possible sense – literally travelling through the volume of our world in any way. If one traveled backwards in time by 65 million years without moving through space in one way, one might drown – I certainly would, as the patch of land on which I currently sit was water not long ago, and was water long into prehistory, due to continental drift. But again, we are also moving through the galaxy, through the universe – how would one travel through space along with traveling backwards through time? Again, we’re brought back to the relativistic approach to time travel – we simply accelerate or move ourselves faster than the speed of light. Perhaps this would manifest in the form of a wormhole.

If a “wormhole” could be created, it’s possible to move such a portal through space, and at a speed faster than light. In this way, the wormhole would be wound up like an old-fashioned watch, and then used to travel to a specific time and place in the past.

In any cosmogony which accepts the plausibility of backwards time travel, there must be an original development of life. It has to be an organic progression, unaided by the material hand of another, though perhaps made likely (or even inevitable) by the designer of our universe. There could be any number of these unaided manifestations of life, but what’s certain is that this type of life was the original, and for the purposes of this inquiry, this original must also have developed backwards time travel. This first backward-time-travelling original life would spread itself back through time and onto different hospitable planets, regardless of where those planets existed in time and space.

This “original” life would leave its more-or-less random quirks and fingerprints all over the rest of the universe. Certainly, as this original life interacted and colonized the remainder of the universe, all life would resemble them. At each step of the ascendant evolutionary path of consciousness, it would be possible to add one’s own traits to indigenous life, through interbreeding, genetic alteration, and so on.

Yet here we arrive at the fundamental problem presented by time travelers – how to deal with other naturally occurring life, other “originals.” We already have the answer – it’s not who comes up with it first, it’s what one does once one comes up with it. It’s not about which life form or culture developed a technology first, it’s about what one does with that technology which defines the character of an individual or species. Perhaps the ultimate mark of maturity is to recognize that other “originals” do share common aspects with us, to the degree that we are all products of the same set of physical laws, inhabitants of the same universe, and maximizers of free will. To maximize free will, often we must allow other cultures to develop, and to allow their worldview to gain complexity and maturity.

An acceptance of the plausibility and likelihood of backward time travel forces a thinker to accept that chronologies becomes entangled, interwoven, needlessly confusing and unimaginably complicated – what is only relevant is the present moment, constrained by causation and the various possible outlets for free will.

Why should you listen to me?

Today is November 13, my birthday, it is the new moon, it is a supermoon (meaning that the moon is at perigee, the absolute closest it gets to Earth) and there is an eclipse of the Sun streaking across the south Pacific all day.  My birthday only.  My Sun sign is Scorpio, which is powerful, and my Moon sign is Aries, which is philosophical and of the mind.  Together, they are focused, and today, as truly as the tides swell and contort, these attributes are me, now.

In the below podcast, Santos Bonacci explains why astrology is important, and how Aries is philosophical and of the mind, as I say above (so I’m not just making this up!).  ”Aris is at the top of the head, in the cerebrum…It is the higher mind…Israel is in your head, and it is hiding in the word cerebrum…Scorpio is the generative area.”  In this way, both Scorpio and Aries are of the nature of one.  In this way, I am one, like the total eclipse searing across the Earth’s mega-ocean today.

My only memories of pre-reincarnation are disembodied consciousness.  I feel that my past lives are non-bodily, and my future lives will be as well.  I am temporarily assuming human form for this life only.  This is why people tell me I have a “young” soul, because it’s my first round trip as a human, ideally my last.

Spiritual entrapment is impossible (on the longest time scale), just like water entrapment (on the longest time scale) is impossible, or any kind of energy, or repeating signal.

I have been in control of my body for a long time.  Since I was a young child, I’ve held on.  As I would dream as a kid, I’d control myself and I’d kill any entity that was aggressive towards my stream of consciousness, any subconscious demon which attempted a coup of consciousness was simply killed by me, with brutal efficiency; I’m the dictator of my own mind.  I’ll invite other consciousnesses out of my subconscious to come sit next to me as I govern my body, but only I am allowed to drive.  I use my subconscious as an advisor, but I am in charge, and this has been the case my whole life, even through my psychonautic journeys and adventures.

Peculiar how Pluto, Mars, Venus, Earth, and Jupiter are in alignment.

Get stuck in a reincarnation rut, and that’s like a water molecule being kept in a lake for ten thousand years… don’t worry, you’ll be released eventually, your life energy can’t be killed any more than water can be cut with a knife.

Frequency governs astrology and the ability of a disembodied consciousness to enter a planetary system, and subsequently, the mind of a being.  I have tuned into Earth like a radio station, and I live here for this life.  In this way, astrology is the key-lock combination which connects human consciousness to disembodied astral consciousness.

The myth of linearity:

What a funny idea.  A line, with two end points. We don’t see this in nature – lines are a creation of humans.  We make our cities, roads, buildings, rooms, money, our entire material lives, out of rectangles – lines. Lines and squares imprison – think instead in terms of triangles, and surface area.

Time is about cycles and rhythms, time is of course measured linearly by clocks, but clocks don’t create time.  We are time. You are time, I am time; if I don’t control my time, I don’t control myself; if we don’t have our time, we are not.  Even spacial lines, extended long enough, connect back in a circle – rigorous academic physics confirms this.  In this way, there is only frequency, never a linearity; lines are creations of humanity, of the material world.  Lines don’t exist in the natural or non-human world.  Even the horizon on the ocean fades to a perfect circle on the highest perspective, and then to a dimensionless point, and then to nothingness.

Positive and negative space

Positive is the will, negative is the free.  Together they are the sacred union.  For example, the Sun is positive space, it exerts positivity, whatever it’s exerting, it’s positively existing.  The Earth is negative, it is functionally defined by its negative space, such as the microscopic pores in soil which allow plants’ roots to take hold, which allow us to hide and escape the Sun’s rays for a moment and take shade; the Earth does have positive aspects as well like all femininity, but the Earth has these negative (not pejoratively negative, but precisely in the way I’ve defined positive and negative here only) aspects in a way that the Sun does not.  To be masculine, you must be 100% masculine; to be feminine, you must be less than 100% masculine.  This is the nature of positive and negative.  Between the positive and negative there is contrast, the contrast is the border, contrast defines reality.  Reality is contrast.

Universal to all cultures in all times is that the Sun is considered to be masculine, and the Earth feminine.  The Sun is the positive archetype there.  It is pure 100% positive existence.  The Earth is defined by its negative space, the pores and cracks in the soil where seeds find shade and shelter to mature and grow.  Earth is at her least fertile when she is all positive space – parched deserts, where the sand, and any brave but doomed seeds are baked during the day, and frozen at night.  What’s necessary is the positive and negative, this is the sacred union of all life.

Free will comes in this polarity, positive and negative.  It works for gender, electricity, magnets, space, it works for just about everything.  It’s a very universally applicable thinking tool.  But what lately fascinates me to no end is the introduction of a third to these polarities of two.  How would this even be possible?  What would the geometry look like?  Computing power is proportionate to the surface area of the material, not the volume.  This is true for laptops and brains.  So since the surface seems to be closer to the root of consciousness than volume, any surface area would have to be tiled with triangles.  Hexagons can fully tile a surface, but these are just groups of triangles.  Squares can tile a surface, but they, too break down to triangles – right triangles to be specific.  Thinking in terms of polar atoms could be less useful than thinking in terms of triangled surfaces.

It is true that we channel free will.  If we intend to be the originator of free will, then we are doomed.  We must always be channeling it, always seeking the absolute maximization of present and future free will, regardless of who enjoys it.  In this way, we do not create the free will we experience, but it flows through us, and while it is within us in the present moment, we do control it, very much like a special prism, scattering light, but also malleable.

Furthermore, the words being used to communicate in this present writer/reader moment, these words themselves don’t feel as if they’re being written by me, (materially, they are being typed by myself) but they come from a place outside me.  Clearly, this is a mental gateway into which I need to explore, but I’m sure it goes endlessly, so I’m enjoying the present moment of being, rather than long-distance thought-spelunking (which I’m sure I’ll do in not long).  I consider my words to be a very real manifestation of my self, but I also know my words come from a place outside myself.  If this seems like a contradiction, it’s only because the concept of a self is flawed, and based in ego, it is the product of our specific world, it’s not universal, it bores me, it is the dead part of the fingernail, and it is not me.  Truly, I have dissolved my ego, there are still remnants, but I swear to you, my material self, my ego, these are concepts for me which are continuously dissolved, and I am left with a most selfless existence.

There are those who deny the existence of free will, and I call this belief determinism.

Our world comes with good, moral redundancy protection built right in, it’s called the human conscience, and it’s a very powerful thing – when it’s turned on.  The only way to turn off this force is through determinism.  Most humans forfeit their human power and free will to a higher being, based only on blind nationalism or religious zeal.  Certainly muscles, nerves, bones, these obey free will.  But obviously, a bone is not a human being, a human being is a human being, and we have the power to act on our own free will.  A human being is not a muscle or nerve.  “Obeying orders” when one has the power to object is a denial of one’s own free will, and concentrations of power into small numbers of individuals is the most dangerous process imaginable – because we lose this moral redundancy protection.  All it takes is one thought error in one or a few individuals, and poof – blinding evil is born.  When all humans realize their collective power to dissolve the ego and maximize free will, we will be safe.  For this, we only need the internet.  Each human already has the power, we just need to be made aware of our free will.

Even the human hand, alone, could replace so many tools we have.  The body part we call the hand is an extremely useful tool, yet we buy products so we don’t have to use our hands.  Judges have made rulings they themselves disagree with, based only on a weird interpretation of a law to which they blindly submit.  Judges have the free will to change this world, but they do not use it.

The internet must become a force of nature in our world.  It must be created as a layer in space filled with many trillions of microscopic robots, all orbiting the Earth, each tiny one containing all the information known to all, as a redundancy safeguard, and each tiny one also able to move, reposition, and bond to its mostly identical neighbors.  Together, I’m sure they could create signals strong enough to communicate with computers on the surface of the Earth.  Even if the Sun had an enormous solar flare, knocking out all computers within its reach, the micro-orbiters eclipsed by the Earth would be much more than necessary to repopulate and maintain the entire world’s internet.  In this way, the internet must become a naturally occurring part of our world.

When the moral redundancy protection of the awareness of free will is turned on, it’s like white blood cells on disease.  When individual humans deny their immense personal power, these white blood cells go grey with impotence.  Consider this a plea to the world to turn on your moral free will, judge the world around you, and act according to the maximization of free will.

Every human is obligated to judge what does and does not maximize free will, and every human is obligated to maximize free will.

Rather than asking you to look at advertisements on my blog, rather than asking for your money in any way, I’ll only direct you toward a just cause for donation.  Please, visit this site, and be prepared to donate a few of your hard earned dollars.  The church asks you to tithe 10%.  Tax collectors, swindlers, and bankers have taken far more.  Give abusive priests none of your money, give it to this organization:

Rolling Jubilee

To truly destroy something, one must ignore it.  Hate is such a gift to your enemy.  Being aware, but choosing to ignore something is how that something fades like a ghost.

Money is a target of my intentional ignorance here.  I believe that our world has abundance, and I know that money rests on a foundation of scarcity.  There are multiple cures to cancer, there are multiple ways to free energy, information should be open source and free (just like my entire philosophy), and of course, we must abolish property as anything except a tool which helps us understand whose job it is to clean out the car and whose job it is to mow the lawn.  The more quality things that are available for free, the better our world will be, and the more independent we will be from both money and the bankers which attempt to run the world.

I’m going to take this paragraph to prod you a bit and check to see if you have a pulse – how does the below video make you feel?  It’s all true, so…  pay close attention.

Moving right along:

The bankers who run the Pentagon predict that by the year 2050, 25% of the world’s energy will be renewable and clean for the environment.  This figure is absolutely unacceptable, and would result in global catastrophe. We must mobilize now to stop this. Join Bill McKibben’s tour to and add to the momentum at least by where you physically stand.

You think this country’s changed in the past 300 years?

Aaaaaaaahahahahahahehehe *inhale* hahahahahah – gimme a second

Can’t tell the difference?  That’s because people believe what their parents tell them to.  We don’t like to think for ourselves.  It’s scary, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s exactly what we need to do.  Facebook gives you the information you want, it’s candy.  Google feeds you a lot of candy information as well, but isn’t quite as bad.  Pythagoreanism.com is an attempt to balance that, Pythagoreanism is about giving out, for free, the information we all need. This is the steak and vegetables. Don’t let any go to waste, now.

And be careful – you crave what you’ve recently consumed.

For democracy, why do we have private votes?  Why are we forced into accepting that our votes should never be known?  As if it’s not obvious already?  We are forced into this opinion because it’s so incredibly dangerous if we made our votes public, it’s dangerous because we humans would be claiming back our control.  If we were all children in class, and we all had to quietly walk up to teacher and whisper to her our vote for class president, and we left it up to her to calculate and count everything, well, it doesn’t take long to figure out that it’s the teacher who’s in charge.  If the kids voice their votes out loud, everyone hears how everyone votes, so it’s impossible for anyone to get the count wrong.

When everyone’s vote is public, it’s impossible to hack an election.  Not with any technology.  Literally, you would watch your vote be changed after you voted, and you would know it was tampered with.  Every voter should be able to watch his or her own vote be counted and accepted into the total.  Transparency and public voting are the cornerstones of a powerful citizen government.  Ballot secrecy is the tool of dictatorship, reducing democracy to meaningless theater.

I believe that every city should have an immaculately clean public bath, where people can wash themselves and their laundry for free.  Maybe they’d have to bring their own soap, but clearly, this would result in a dignified and clean city.  I believe that every city has the capacity to grow its own food, and that food should be given away for free.  I believe that information, food, energy, hygiene, and many other things should be free in every way, and can easily be with present technology.  The more of everything which is available for free is the extent to which we have liberated ourselves from the control of bankers.  Literally: money is a form of brainwashing.

Paper means nothing.  If your life is about pushing paper, then I’m ever so sorry, but your life means nothing.  Clearly, I, too, am a paper pusher by day, but I do live as a being.  I haven’t let that living flame die out, it’s been burning since before I could remember as a kid, and I’m going to keep it burning.  They want us scared, believe me, that’s their goal, and it’s how they thrive.  I, for one, will die before they make me afraid.

See you in the afterlife.

Whatever.

Given that science only claims to be able to perceive – at all – about 27% of the matter or energy in our universe (the remainder being “dark matter or energy“) I’m inclined to be sympathetic toward the idea that things are not exactly as the military would have you believe based on their press conferences.  Regardless of whether the ideas in the above podcast are 100% accurate, I’m keenly aware right now of the empty, nihilistic, angry and spiteful energy of our world, and I’m basically in a scared and freaked out mood.  I need optimism to get me through my life, otherwise there’s no energy, there’s no meaning.

A helpful poetic image: 

I feel like it can be easy to get carried away by negative-seeming energy, and in these times, I visualize myself as a piece of paper being blown away through an empty, dark city in a cold rainy wind, but as I tumble, I fold myself into an origami shape, gaining mass like a ball from katamari, as the rain and dirt mix inside the new oragami figure, the paper of my self suddenly sticks to a patch of ground out of its own new weight, I stand up, and I lean forward as I walk into the wind.  After five minutes, I’ve hot wired an abandoned car with a full tank of gas and I’m on a freeway onramp flooring the accelerator.

Another image: 

A person who doesn’t test the extent of their own freedom may as well be an elephant tied to fishing wire, attached to a staple in the earth, who simply never moves.  Maximizing free will does not mean that your soul should sit in your body and idly await bodily death.  Use your free will.

In my immediately ensuing struggle to regain the optimism my mind requires for survival, I find hope, belief, and resolve from two things:

1.) the innate power within all human beings, on the individual and collective level, and 

2.) the current blossoming of our ability to communicate, enabling vastly more people to release greater potential into our kinetic world.

Humans have more potential than we know.  Our minds are not cups to be filled and then drained, they are fires which burn despite the pouring of the rain.  Within all of us, there is huge huge potential energy, and we just need to figure out how to release it.

One idea is to get many people around the world chanting the same thing to the same rhythm at the same time, with the expectation that what was being chanted would become real.  Right now, today, almost all behavior to this effect is dedicated entirely to monotheism, and thus the energy behind this behavior is largely drained and lost from our world.  I’m not real big on verbal chanting, and I don’t really see myself doing this, but I know there are a lot of people out there who think in similar atheistic terms, and in order to change our world and release the power within all of us, we must first embody the change we want within our individual selves.  The community begins in the mind.  Either way, I will mentally be chanting “maximize free will” to create positivity out of thin air, so please join me.

Personally, I’m lucky to live a blessed life, and it’s because of this that I’m able to unplug from the system and think for myself, and better see the world as it actually is, and no longer deny either the huge dark energy in our world, nor the innate power within all humans to be a force for positivity and free will.

On the heels of the vernal equinox, I’m taking this time to be thankful for the amount of freedom we have both in real life, and via the internet; may we be most clearly aware of the extent of our freedoms, both individually, and collectively.

In terms of cost effective website promotion, nothing beats a few easy SEO tune-ups.  The goal of any SEO effort is to increase traffic.  The most effective ways to do this are difficult and expensive, such as building backlinks, advertising, and having quality content.  Below are some easier ways to boost page rank, get traffic, and tighten up your SEO.

- Get your Google+ photo to display is search engine results pages.  This neat trick puts a human touch on your articles, and people will be more likely to click your links.  To do this, you have to have a rel=”author” tag on your article’s byline, which links to your about page (which must be on the same URL).  This author page must link to your Google+ profile, and if your Google+ profile links to your homepage, then the Google software “robots” can form a complete loop, and your picture will display in SERPs.  Authors can only do this for one web page, as they only have one Google+ profile. Click here for details on how to do this.

- Do keyword research.  A good place to start is by using the Google Keyword Tool, which is a cloud-based app that allows you to analyze which keywords and phrases users are searching for, which keywords would make money, which keywords have high or low competition, and a lot of other useful information.  The Google Keyword tool is sometimes criticized, and other products are for sale which might be better, but the Google Keyword Tool is a good place to start.  Try to be consistent about being logged into your Google account when using the keyword tool.

- Manage advertisements properly.  In-text ads, misleading ads, hover-over-text ads, pop-ups, or other annoying advertisements will penalize you in the search rankings.  The best advertisements are for content relevant  to your users, and they are clearly marked as advertisements.  Ads on high ranking pages almost always have a buffer margin on all sides.

- Use good titles for your images.  The best titles will describe every important aspect of the image.  People searching for similar images will be driven to your website, which directly increases your traffic.  Be aware that human users can see image titles, so make an effort to tend toward proper grammar.   Titles will usually display if a user hovers over an image with their mouse.  Captions for images are different, and aren’t always even appropriate, but titles should be used for every image.

- Use plenty of tags.  Tags are listed keywords associated with your article.  Your title should have all of the important keywords for the article, but it’s good to repeat them in the article’s tags, and also add a few more.  For example, if you mention a person’s name in the article, use that person’s surname as one of the tags.  There’s no page rank penalty for using tags, so err on the side of including many.  The only upper limit on the number of tags you should use is that for most blog formats, human users can see the tags at the end of the article, and if the article has a zillion tags, it might look amateur-ish.  If you can’t think of good tags, type the title of your article into the Google Keyword Tool and use some low-competition phrases that accurately describe your article.

- Always write an intriguing description for your article.  The “description” feature is available as a plug in for WordPress called “All In One SEO Pack,” and this plug in gives you a straightforward dialogue box where you can write a description.  This description will show up in search engine results, social media previews, and in many other formats.  There is a 160 character limit on descriptions.

- Keyword density.   It’s good to remember this, but keyword density isn’t as important as most people say it is.  Search engines know that an article about how to fix a car part won’t necessarily have the word “car” littering the article, just as doctors don’t constantly say the word “surgery” while performing surgery.  Having high keyword density won’t necessarily hurt page rank, but it may dilute content and drive away traffic.

- Write a good title.  While it’s true that high ranking titles often show a list like top 5 this, or 7 best that, it would be wrong to say that a good title necessarily has this feature.  Good article titles are concise, clear, and to the point.  If you can muster any ounce of humor, put it in the title.  The title is about half the importance of the entire article.  Search engines don’t seem to like titles longer than 60 characters.  Keep in mind that titles are sometimes formatted into all caps. Good titles often have a colon (the : symbol), separating non-grammatical keyword density from a more colloquial or humorous phrase or sentence.

- Mind your URL.  Keywords in the local URL for your post or page are relevant to page rank.  It is a good strategy to use the title of your article as your URL suffix, which gives human users an idea of the link content before they open the page in a browser.  If you use a pattern on URL suffixes, just stick to it.  For example, the Economist Magazine assigns a unique number to each article, such as “economist.com/node/91443932.”  In these instances, search engines do not penalize, and simply default into using other features to guide relevancy, such as title, tags, etc.

- Show related posts at the end of each article.  This will drive your bounce rate down, which means that users will be clicking to other pages on your domain before leaving, rather than seeing only one page and then leaving.  Related posts should include the primary picture from the post, the title, and potentially the description.  There are usually plugins that allow this; for WordPress, YARPP and Linkwithin work.

These are all actionable steps (requiring little or no money, only a bit of time) that will make a big difference on page rank.  This is what we call SEO.

In the end, the best way to make a good blog is to have the best content.  This is difficult, but if you’re talented, it will come easily.  SEO is more of a tightening of the screws and dusting of the countertops than something that makes a website.

Making friends, networking, and doing legwork in the real world is also a good way to boost traffic.

Maximize free will.

Whatever.

Just google the word “Yonaguni” and tell me about how strong the dogmatic worldview is. The need for creative non fiction exists strongly today, and that’s where I focus my thought.

Note: I don’t even care what order you read the paragraphs in. Just read them all and I’ll be happy. You’d do equally well to read the last paragraph first. But hidden in here, for example, is an image that allows for understanding of the concept of “nonduality,” which is an important concept, and not always easily communicated, but I give you a working understanding in a paragraph. Find it!

With all the hype around the “Antichrist,” I’m left a little bored.  It’s so negative, the idea of an anti-anything (anyone can criticize and destroy, but what are you for?!).  The antichrist is defined by its opposition to something positive, and it’s usually best to focus on the positive.  That said, if there’s any antichrist in history, it’s not one person, but two – Justinian I and his dominant co-ruling wife, Theodora.

Justinian and Theodora lived, ruled, and died in Constantinople.

As co-leaders, Justinian I and Theodora ruled Rome in the 6th century CE.  Most importantly, in 545 CE, the pair erased the idea of reincarnation from the Bible, branding reincarnation as a thought crime punishable by death.  The abolition of the concept of reincarnation had a devastating and immediate effect on both the public health of Europe, and on the logic of the story of Christ, the Messiah.

Elijah was an old testament figure whose prophesied return – or reincarnation – was a necessary requirement for the Messiah’s arrival on Earth.  Without the reincarnation of Elijah, there can be no Messiah.

The Bible repeatedly states that Elijah fulfilled this prophesy by reincarnating as John the Baptist, who literally baptized Jesus Christ himself.

But without reincarnation, Elijah can’t complete the prophesy, and Jesus can’t be the son of God, and Christianity is clearly wrong.

When reincarnation was outlawed, souls immediately became blocked, vulnerable, weak, frail, cut off from the Christ consciousness, and susceptible to real new disease.

Just as they outlawed of the idea of reincarnation, Justinian I and Theodora simultaneously found themselves presiding over the first Western outbreak of the Black Death, which began in 541 CE, and grew in seriousness over the next decade, and which would burn through Europe in waves for more than the next millennium.

The bubonic plague made its original debut in Europe under the rule of Justinian I and Theodora, and killed Westerners with a mortality rate of over 40%.  Justinian himself was struck down with the black death, but perhaps unsurprisingly, he survived to continue his rule.  The rule of Justinian I marks the beginning of the decline of the Roman empire, and the descent of the entire global West into a spiritual, moral and philosophical dark age.  Evermore, the West practiced a moral nihilism, which opened the door for greater future evil.  Without a moral compass, empty-souled Christians pillaged and raped the American continent, committing the greatest genocide our world has ever seen.  Given carte blanche by an equally nihilistic Catholic church, explorers committed the most heinous imaginable crimes against American Indians and erased nearly their entire continental culture.  Such cruel violence is enabled only by a dark age where the idea of reincarnation was literally a capital thought crime.

The guy in the video link is correct that the antichrist was associated with Istanbul (aka Constantinople), but he's about 14 centuries too late.

It is a dark age from which the global West has not yet emerged.  We distract ourselves with meaningless toys, politics, sports, and constant busywork, all of which shield us from the painful truth that our society has succeeded only in creating materialism, war, and waste.  Spiritually, our society is as primitive as it was in the 5th century – except, of course, now we have the internet and strangers are once again permitted to interact.  The doctrines and philosophies which govern most of the West today were born and incubated in a spiritual void, lacking a conception of reincarnation, where the only rules are reactionary countermeasures to constant waves of plague.  The laws and social structures developed in these dark ages rule us today, primarily oppressing human sexuality, which is the most extreme and effective form of oppression.

Social barriers between strangers are difficult to break.  If strangers in a society can’t talk, then ideas can’t spread.  If individuals are limited to interaction with those in their same house, and the occasional introduction to a mutual acquaintance, the possibility for the spread of new ideas is almost always zero, and tends toward untruth.  If strangers are allowed to interact (for example, in a place such as the internet), then the spread of new ideas becomes possible and likely, and these new ideas will almost always tend toward the truth.  Only trust a person whose words are clearly true without citation.  I try to be such a writer, because I use images and facts which are available to any human being with an internet connection. It is an extremely objective measure of the freedom of any society to simply ask, “Where and when is it socially acceptable to talk to a stranger?”  One common answer would be the phrase “bless you” when a stranger sneezes.

It is a fact that orgasm is the root of all meaning.  The opening of the soul which occurs during orgasm (and all its derivatives, including the sneeze) marks the opportunity for new souls to enter into our world.  The entrance of new souls into our world is integral to the concept of reincarnation.  Reincarnation is fundamentally linked to the releases of sexuality and life – orgasm and death, respectively.

This practice of blessing a sneezing person is generally accepted as originating from the first waves of bubonic plague to sweep across Europe.  The ancient thought is that by sneezing, a person comes close to death, because sneezing is a clear symptom of bubonic plague.  But this is the double entendre which has held a nugget of truth throughout these entire dark ages, surviving today – being close to death is also viewed as a release of energy, often sexual energy.  The French call an orgasm “le petit mort,” meaning the little death.  The sneeze produces the same process in the brain as an orgasm, but to a different magnitude, and for a different area of the body.  The parallel between the sneeze and orgasm being a cause for blessing and closeness with the source energy of life is no accident.  The origins of this phrase point directly to the first outlawing of reincarnation and the repression of the sexual energy of everyday people.

So much of orgasm is linked to emotion.  Emotions are how we create memories, where sensory information is used as tags and triggers.  Of the five senses, memory is most closely linked to smell, which is of course in the nose, along with the function of sneezing.  This olfactory, emotive, sexual, and holy region of the brain fascinates and puzzles me.  As primal as the olfactory sense may be, we do usually require light to sneeze, almost always the Sun.  The connection here, between the orgasm and the Sun, is incredibly powerful.  As the soul looks into the metaphorical Sun of sex, the singularity of love and pleasure, the soul experiences real orgasm.  This “Sun of sex,” into which we look before real orgasm, is the source of life energy.  Before looking at any neural scans or brain images, I’m predicting that all of these – orgasm, scent, memory, emotion, and sensitivity to light, should be closely tied in a material way.

The Sun channels an enormous amount of information of which we aren’t aware.  It’s as if a tiny poem was whispered behind the roar of a waterfall, lost to all ears so far. There is infinite complexity in the Sun, and if perhaps it is not worthy of our prayer, it is absolutely worthy of our worship.

Bless people when they sneeze (because it shows a bolt striking between the orgasm and the highest deity, the Sun) and bless people when they don’t sneeze.  It just helps to hear that sometimes.

Orgasm, the sneeze, and closeness with the source of life energy all deeply tie into the process of reincarnation.  To deny one is to deny them all, and since the dawn of Theodora’s dark ages up until now, we have denied all, and we have suffered the consequences.

Pythagoras is the grandfather of Western philosophy.  In his lifetime, he travelled from Greece to Egypt, India and then back to Greece.  In India, he likely picked up and solidified the concept of reincarnation within his own worldview.  Pythagoras brought this concept with him as he returned to the West, and as nothing more than a carrier of his namesake in the present moment, I attempt the same feat.

I’m not asking for a prayer to any God or deity uttered silently before bed at night.  I urge, beg, beseech, and advise only a prayer to each other, to our fellow humans, our distant cousins, the homo sapiens sapiens family, that reincarnation is in fact a real phenomenon.  We must collectively admit this fact now, and in doing so, we will release the enormous back-up of souls that persists now in our world.  With the reintroduction of the concept of reincarnation into mainstream thought, I am curious to see whether (and am fairly certain that) one or more gravely serious diseases will be cured.

Among other things, orgasm is the opening of the soul to higher energy.  When we conceive new life, there is always at least one, if not many, orgasms.  This opening is what makes it possible for a new soul to be born.  To be clear, through the opening of a soul via orgasm, another soul is able to be born into our world.  Orgasm, sneeze, the creation of souls, and reincarnation are all intricately linked.

Without the concept of reincarnation, there is no ability for transcendence of the process of reincarnation, and therefore no possibility for the attainment of nirvana.  Certainly, it is possible for individuals to shun illogical Catholic doctrine, to accept reincarnation, the importance of the energy of sneeze and orgasm, and to attain nirvana on Earth.  But for large numbers of people, specifically the mainstream of society, nirvana is impossible, because reincarnation is essentially a thought-crime.

The year is 2012, it is a year of rebirth, the renewal of the Maya calendar, it is time wave zero, it is the year that light be cast into the darkness, it is the year that everyday people must wake up.  2012 is the time for the majority, the mainstream, for not just the lucky few but for everyone to wake up to vital information, hidden by elites through history.  Now, through the internet, and the power of free communication, this hidden information is being brought out of its embryonic state and into our awareness.  There is no more mysticism, there is no more esotericism, no more secrets, no more hiding of “sacred” knowledge – because there is no more time.  The secrets must spill, and they spill in 2012.

This podcast from Santos Bonacci is a wonderful decoding of the secrets of the Bible.

An offer from above has been extended to the traditional “masses,” to exalt themselves in a spiritual way.  Holy books, it is common knowledge, have been severely doctored through history by manipulators to oppress the mainstream masses, cementing the power of the elite within the momentary social order.  Today, the free nature of information is allowing the truths of our world to be available to anyone who cares to listen (or read).  As an effect of the freeing of information, 2012 has been a year of dramatic realizations, and in the comment section below, please voice your agreement (or lack thereof) with the following 5 ideas of the year:

1.) The Catholic church is the most guilty institution in existence, being primarily responsible for the genocide of the American Indians, the institutionalized sexual abuse of generations upon generations of children, the criminalization of sexuality and exploitation of everyday people through the oppression of their sexual freedom, and the systematic extortion of money in exchange for forgiveness of sins.  In 2012, we must collectively admit that, in order for free will to be maximized, the Catholic church must be held accountable for its guilt, it must be recognized as separate and contrary to the teachings of Jesus, and it must be disbanded.  Certainly, individual nations are also guilty for these same crimes.  But no single organization shoulders more guilt than the Catholic church, so it is the best candidate for prioritized prosecution.

2.) Life originating not from Earth does visit and has visited Earth since before humanity.  God is by definition an extraterrestrial, and it is not a new idea that “Gods,” angels, demons, or other super-intelligent conscious beings have visited us.  The growing pile of irrefutable evidence stands on the quiet side of truth.  This doesn’t change our daily lives, but it’s important to be aware: we are not alone, and we have made contact.  Whatever.  Carry on.  (Later, I’ll get into a subject which ETs, not humans, have mastered – time travel – and I’ll describe its limiting factors.)

The combination of these first two realizations go quite nicely.  The Catholic church, totally disconnected from its foundation and inherently hypocritical, has no explanation or admittance of extraterrestrial visitation.  The Catholic church maintains a perspective which clashes with the fact of ET visitation.  Pythagoreanism, fortunately, maintains a perspective which harmonizes with this realization, and even offers predictive power – one being that in the longer term perspective, ETs maximize free will, and certainly do follow the 10 commandments of nature.  The Catholic church, conversely, maintains that ET life does not even exist.

3.) The third realization of 2012 is that the mass migration of humanity into cities we see today shall continue.  We should help this process using our best urban planning, and we will create fiercely egalitarian, sexually free, hyper-efficient sustainable supercities, allowing the remaining 99% of the Earth’s surface to return to its wild state.  This is the third paradigm of humanity – the first being hunter/gatherer/forager society, the second agricultural/civic/industrial, the third being the paradigm of the sustainable supercity.  Humans being in such concentrated densities only underscores the urgency with which we must disarm our nuclear arsenals and work for non-proliferation.

4.) Before the end of 2012, we must affirm that reincarnation is real, and that it always has been.  Consciousness is one.

Illustration of nondualism

This oneness, or nonduality, views reality as a surface covered in a soapy film packed with bubbles of different size, where individuals are clearly  discernable, but more by their negative space, and where all are made of one substance, and are continuously connected, with no discrete, distinct separations at all.  The life energy creates more bubbles, it creates orgasms, and entropy pops the old bubbles, and where each bubble has the capacity to focus and bend light to its will.

For millennia, our world has been stuck in a spiritual dark age, where the popular enlightenment has been blocked.  2012 is about bringing light into this previously blocked-off darkness.  It is a year of apocalypse, rebirth, renewal, the initiation of the sacred union, and the creation of free will on new planes of existence.  Acceptance of this information creates an apocalypse within the mind of the acceptor, and then through the everyday actions of that accepting person, the rebirth of our new and enlightened world may proceed, and free will would be maximized.

This is an invitation and plea to all Catholics, and all people, to utilize the Pythagorean perspective.  Maintain your traditions, but carefully manage your perspective, making sure that it is as objective as possible.  Keep the Pythagorean perspective in your worldview, add deductions as you see fit, and maximize free will.

The prophecies of the Bible have quietly materialized.  Israel is real once again.  English is the global language.  The internet allows all to be exposed to enlightening information.  Now there is nothing left separating us from the next cycle except time.

December 21, 2012, the Winter Solstice, Timewave zero, the new Maya calendar cycle, is a day which embodies all the change of 2012, and I will be doing psychadelic drugs to commemorate the event.  If you are a healthy adult with access to safe psychadelics, I encourage you to join me, wherever you may be, and together as a world, we can usher in the new era, emerging from a collectively unifying experience of something beyond the previously possible (how else could such a collective experience be planned without the internet?).  This is about the power of simultaneous experiences.

For example, if enough of the magnetic molecules in the center of the Earth were to simultaneously switch poles, there would be a global magnetic reversal.

All rivers meander one direction and then the other.

It is time for the pendulum of our world to reverse its direction, and I invite you to join me in commemorating the birth of this new cycle by imbibing safe psychadelic substances on the 2012 Winter Solstice, wherever you may be.

In short: to mature our collective spirituality to a place where we can move beyond the dark age which has suffocated our world for roughly 1500 years, we must begin by reaffirming that

- the Catholic church must take responsibility for its crimes
- ET life visits Earth
- the world’s must strive for the supercity / wilderness paradigm
- reincarnation and sexualitiy bring us closer to the source of life energy

No other prayer or affirmation would more efficiently bring about peace and the maximization of free will.

Show me in the comment section – would you sign a quick online petition publicly advocating one and/or all of these 4 ideas?  Why or why not?

If the buy-in requires the sacrifice of freedom and the game is mandatory, are we still talking about a free world?  Historically, the United States has considered it a constitutional right to be able to discharge debt, and has condemned debtor’s prison.  Somewhere along the road, something changed.

While defaulting on a student debt load has not yet directly lead to imprisonment, the disproportionate imprisonment of low-income persons is happening today.  Creditors for student debt essentially have the first and last cut of a graduate’s finances.  For debtors, most consumer protection safeguards are stripped from student loans.  It’s virtually impossible to discharge the debt, collections agencies need not follow traditional regulations on collecting the debt, wages may be garnished, tax refunds and social security benefits may be withheld.  These Draconian Debt laws are all reserved for a type of debt that is basically a mandatory requirement for meaningful participation in society.

While debt is not mandatory in the sense that there is no possible method to participate without it, it truly turns on what we consider meaningful participation.  The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2009 that the median annual earnings for those with only a high school diploma and a Bachelor’s degree were $26,776 and $47,510 respectively. To put this in perspective, the poverty line for a family of four is roughly $23,050 a year.  For those wishing to have a family and avoid a poverty stricken life, a bachelor’s degree presents itself as an obvious necessity.

But to obtain that degree, the costs are ever increasing.  The average increase alone to public tuition costs comes in at around 15% nationally, excepting those unfortunate enough to attend school in Georgia, California, or Arizona, where the increases are roughly 40%.  In 2010, the average graduate owed $25,250 at graduation, and for graduates with professional degrees average around $100,433. What is obvious, is that the entry-fees into the middle-class are ever increasing, while the middle class itself is enjoying fewer and fewer benefits of prosperity, especially considering the rising costs of living (especially health care), not to mention the general distaste of investing money for retirement to fuel Wall Street’s risky gambling.

The millennial generation faces the worst case of a modernized indentured servitude.  The costs of education are rapidly increasing at an unprecedented rate, while the necessity of a college education is becoming increasingly important.  Comparing the debt loads of the Millenials to the Baby-Boomers paints the picture of generational betrayal.  The Baby boomers traditionally could find gainful employment with nothing but a high school degree.  When globalization shipped most of those jobs overseas, the importance of higher education was preached to every student smart enough to listen.  Next, education services were gutted, and by the very Baby Boomer politicians that benefited from a society that taxed its highest bracket at 93% investing heavily into its future.  The current outstanding student debt load in the U.S. just broke $1 trillion dollars in the past year.  That’s a balance that grew by over 60% in the past 5 years ($444 Billion to $801 Billion from 2006-2011, only including Federal loans).

This type of debt is not like credit card debt, mortgages, or auto loans.  This is something that has been sold to the millennials as the only means to compete in modern society.  There is nothing tangible to be repossessed as there is with the other types of debt involving purchase of a home, car, or just “stuff” bought with the credit card.  There is nothing a graduate can do to relieve himself (or herself) from the indentured servitude of their student debt, and the consequences for falling behind on the payments are huge.

At this point, restoring consumer safeguards, such as the ability to discharge through bankruptcy, wouldn’t be enough to reverse the damage done.  The national debt  count is now around $15 Trillion, if the federal government had to pay out on every student loan, we’d add another $1 Trillion to the debt (roughly a 6.7% increase).  The only true solution to the problem requires the federal government to begin to invest heavily into education.  The states do not possess the money to fund the education systems, and the federal government does.  If the federal government spent half as much on education as it does on its military budget, this debate doesn’t even come up.

Debt is a siphoning of wealth from a lower class to a wealthier class, to keep the wealthier class in the possession of wealth without creating wealth.  Debt does not exist without a caste system, and may always exist to ensure the continuation of a caste system.  At the very least, this is true when the debt is a required “buy-in” to society.  And this, of course, affects different classes differently, and poses a great determining factor in cementing the already poor into the working class of society, with greater hurdles to overcome for those that have less to give.

The intent behind consumer protections for debtors was to set a justifiable extent of creditor power, and to protect debtors from abuse at the hands of their creditors.  These have been wiped away in order to ensure that the creditors will be able to collect on their “entry-fee” owed to them by those students so bold as to believe they could join in and earn their future.

The scary part of all of this, is that at times, we’re addressing the concept of fictitious money; numbers representing a currency without any tangible backing or support.  What happens when the lenders lend more money than they have, or money the lenders borrowed from the Federal Reserve (for almost zero interest)?  What happens when the money that is lent, and accruing interest, does not exist?  The interest on the loans is created from money that is lent, but which never previously existed.  Or imagine, the money does exist, but the bank made its money by investing in companies that created their wealth from running child sweatshops in Southeast Asia and Africa, or worse, that the wealth was created through slavery or genocide.  Do we still want to be a society that repays these types of organizations with clean money in their very intricate, complex, and now legal, money laundering scheme?  Maybe, just maybe, there is ample justification for a student loan strike.

If you’ve ever wondered about something greater, ever wondered if the world could be better, if you’ve ever been left hanging by flaky pseudo-logic, if you’ve ever disagreed but been forced to comply, then all of the following is for you:

Here is a biography on Pythagroas, for whom this perspective is named.  The universal aspects of his ideas are quite applicable in today’s world.

Pythagoreanism = a perspective

Maximize free will = morality = philosophy = destiny

Everything can be derived from this morality.  The idea is to maximize free will with every decision, by making choices that result in more, better options, rather than fewer, or worse options.  This may seem obvious, but it is the guiding moral compass of all life, so it’s worth mentioning even though it may already be clear.

Verbalization is our primary avenue of communication, it’s a good method, allowing images to be built easily.  It’s often wise to examine single words when dealing with a philosophy as brief as “maximize free will.”  The word “maximize” is straightforward enough for now, so let’s think about the phrase “free will:”

“Will” is a block of impenetrable positive space.  It is a wall in the desert.  It is a soldier at a roadblock.  It is a definitively chosen action.  It is a positively asserted idea.  It is a solid shape.  It is something with which one must comply.

“Free” is negative space, more ephemeral, it the sand and air of the desert, the fluid material flowing between the walls and through labyrinthine hallways, the liquid, the potentially chosen action.

The combination of the free and the will is elemental contrast, it is an atom of information, it is the sacred union, it is the key of fragile and potential immortality, it is the spine of all life in all universes.

Today’s standard computers are only unalive because they lack the “free” aspect of free will.  Computers are only hard programmed will.  There is nothing free about them.

So much of our modern economic society (the one in which the “mainstream” is continuously up for auction) hinges on hiding truth from everyday people.  From priests who intrusively assume the role of conduit between human body and human spirit (pervertedly trading money in return for alleviation of moral guilt), to politicians who demand donations so that they may continue to lay indecipherable code between democracy and action, to bankers who ensure that finance is far too complex for anything less than full time attention, to lawyers who obfuscate the law so that they may be paid as a conduit between humans and the laws which govern human society, to philosophy professors who urge us that morality is complex and poorly understood – we live in a society dedicated to obscuring truth and charging people for untanglement.

It would maximize free will to lay off all practitioners of the above professions, care for them, and allow them to meditate with their full time effort.  This isn’t to imply that any individuals are at fault, the only idea is that we need a system change so that individuals can be more free to learn, teach, and create.

Despite what we’ve been taught, morality is simple.  Maximize free will.  The application of this idea is only as complex as life on Earth.

The complexity of life on Earth lends itself to these 10 immediate deductions, based on the ultimate morality of free will maximization.

Nature’s 10 commandments

1. No incest
2. No cannibalism
3. No sex with anything other than a willing adult of your same species
4. No touching poop or pee
5. Learn how to be social
6. Have lots of sex (Be safe, but seriously.  Lots.)
7. Eat what tastes good
8. Love your family
9. Accept responsibility for your actions
10. Wonder about a world greater than this

Unlike the failed monotheistic or Abrahamic commandments (which were neither wise nor obeyed by history), these commandments are universally obeyed by all life, and these commandments should be obeyed by all life.  Things are as they should be, in that broad sense.

To channel free will is to be conscious and alive.  Free will is an energy; it can be neither created nor destroyed, only channeled, diverted, focused, observed, and experienced.  Consciousness is the by-product of the naturally occurring process of free will flowing through the enormous amount of information stored within our minds.

For example: If Earth were the size of an orange, its surface would be smoother than glass.  Mountains are high, but our planet is literally so enormous that you wouldn’t notice anything except for maybe a tiny hairline knick in the glass, and that’s the Marianas trench.

Make no mistake, we are in an oppressive dark age.  We do not own our own time, and because we individuals are defined by our presence in space-time, we do not own ourselves, and we are enslaved (though for some it is a benevolent enslavement, but the vast majority is not so lucky).  Bigger bombs, gadgets, and other technology have yet done nothing to alleviate this.  So be my guest.  We can have a dark age for as long as we’d care to.  Someone later on, or earlier, somewhere else, is making singularities, and it’s just that they’re the ones having all the fun.  It’s the fomo background radiation of the universe, and it sufficiently motivates my desire to contribute to the instigation of free will maximizations of this kind now in our shared world.

Free will being maximized is like the shape of the surface of a planet.  There are often obvious deviations from the normal horizon line, which we see as mountains, valleys, or any kind of human structure.  Positive space blocks the sky, the sunlight, the heavens, and so on, but ultimately, it all averages out and becomes the curve of the sphere of our world.

From the higher-up perspective, from the more God-like perspective, it’s just a perfect sphere with maybe a knick, but nah, it’s just really beautiful, just a really perfect pleasing shape, a beautiful specimen of the sacred geometry, totally conducive to the freely willed informational frequencies of much higher channelling capacity bandwidth.  As perfect as the sphere of Earth would be, if held in a hand, free will is maximized.  End of example.

There are many ways to meditate.  I do better when I try to connect every dimension of my perception of self to every possible dimension of the world around me, while suspended in mindful Dasein.

Inferno of a supernova

Second, answer, me, in your head,
First I ask permission:
may I be your sexy brain surgeon,
cutting out your stress with
phrases sharper than obsidian;
subjecting deconstructive thought
to a simple sudden jettison?

Enlightenment is
our only remaining
dark red drop sphere
of liquid medicine,
in zero gravity
tacked to the tip of a sewing needle.

It quivers with my diaphragm
suspended by my patient hand,
reflecting inframaroon photons out,
and taking most other waves deep within.

My grasped tipped needle
waits half a lifetime
for your flower to open,
made beautiful, and fearful
by the millions of times
this process has failed,

suspended,
in space and time in a moment
which briefly becomes infinite,
we calmly breathe,
over open ocean
on a tightrope,
above the drowning masses;
entropy’s cold eternal embrace
a causal fabricfold away.

For the success of this action,
the time of day must be just right,
ambient conditions approaching perfection,
brain waves harmonizing with
the hypercomplex frequencies
of the largest known vacuum
as your pedals cautiously gape,
in this moment more fully
than they ever have or will again.

These words are the quivering dark red sphere,
contents constantly in free vibratious motion,
macromolecules darting,
making miniature performance art, and
upon the appearance
of the moment in which
the lotus
of your consciousness
is at its openest,
the deepest pose,
the loudest causal opus,
I slowly move the needle inward,
a sharp rigid butterfly tongue
docking in the depth of outer space;
taking care not to ruin the act
by letting the sphere’s surface tension break
on any petal, stamen or
finest floral hair;

Please enclose your deepest Self
around the following
dark
red
liquid
sphere,
as the needle slips harmlessly out
of your now quickly closing lotusflower -

Our minds aren’t cups to be filled and then drained;
they are fires which burn despite the pouring of the rain.

matches, lighters, candles, incense,
camp, bon, forest – fire
a violent pit of volcano spit,
nuclear rods, blowtorches, tsar bomba,
beating solar hearts,
inferno of a supernova,
singularity,
a deathless departure from our conscious world,
makes a super, massive, trueblack, hole…

…hidden within the perfect aperture
of our sacred musculature.

less than 10% of human brains
are consciously used, so
please God by
constantly
thinking about everything
subconsciously.

All the poetry of this point in space and time
is only that created by your guided mind =
universe = mind = universe = mind =

our emotion is a fire
love, knowledge, sympathy, trust,
passion, excitement, empathy, lust,
let’s throw some logs on and warm up
our chilled bones of eternity.

Picture your hand writing on a bathroom wall -
‘tis better to burn than nothing at all.

Our economic system conveniently, and perhaps accidentally, doubles as a moral laundering system.

We see this throughout history and across the world; it is the story of one or few human beings who will find moral justifications sufficient to enable themselves to obtain long term economic profit by the murder and rape of the innocent indigenous life of the planet Earth.

Chains = snake = linearity = single dimensionality = oppression

Whether it is Andrew Jackson, proudly displayed on the $20 bill, namesake of my southwest Portland middle school (where we learned nothing of the following), he whose cruelty was openly admired by Hitler in Mein Kampf for having murdered, raped, and forcibly removed and erased the culture and people of the Cherokee tribe from their aboriginal land (destroying all their ancient, sacred memes and genes – memes not in the pejoritive sense, but in the scientifically rigorous definition) the moment it was discovered that laying unmined beneath the Cherokee’s ancient hills was a significant fraction of what would later become the gold reserves of Ft. Knox (the same gold reserves which would back Jackson’s dollar through its ascent to global superiority); or whether it is an oil company ruining the ancient perfection of a coastline, backed by a population made ignorant which chants “drill baby drill,” instead of building renewable generation and energy storage; the Anglo-Atlantic economic machine of our macro-world rapes and pillages the Earth’s life, both human and otherwise.

American Indians stored the wealth of their society in the land.  Though the concept of ownership is illusory, and convenient only for minimizing a problem created by the presence of the human capital machine called “moral hazard,” the Indians knew that  land could not be owned – if anything, it is the Earth who owns us.  The Indians stored the wealth of their econony in their environment, and they lived on the appreciation of that investment.  The dividends came in the form of abundant fish in a river, bison in a field, or venison in a forest.  In a real way, this is the wealth which was stolen and destroyed as part of the genocide of the Anglo-Atlantics against indigenous Americans.

Subscribers of the Anglo-Atlantic non-morality usually focus on how the Indians were killed by disease – something incoming whites had a moral duty to avoid at all costs (even though these diseases were often introduced intentionally by single or few individuals, more than sufficient to start a pandemic wildfire) – instead of how local governments from California to Maine, flying the flag of the USA, quietly paid hit-men for their time (the fundamental process of action of the human capital machine), upon proof that the hit-men had buried hatchets into the innocent skulls of the last resisting indigenous people.  Subscribers of the Anglo-Atlantic non-morality usually focus on Indian alcoholism instead of the fact that we live every day on both their wealth and their land, providing them with not even 1% of the free will enjoyed by millenia of their non-alcohol-abusing ancestors.

The ghosts of American Indians live and swim in the Earth beneath us, meditating and continuing to generate free will, and there is a pressure building, which is a negative force moving in harmony with the positive force of God, like an energetic spiritual life-giving lightning storm moving away and down the plains of an infinitely-dimentioned reality; moving against the Anglo-American spiritual void, and toward a return to the maximization of free will.

Free will is always maximized in the long term, not necessarily in the short term.   Like a craggy horizon which may spike this way for a tick, that way a degree, but overall forming a net straight line from a surface human’s perspecrive, and forming a circle (or more accurately, a sphere) from a more removed, objective, God-like perspective; our actions always eventually maximize free will.  This maximization has a chance to return within my lifetime, and this is my most macro life purpose.

Free will at work, our economic job, for example, is minimal.  We must work to eat, and in this sense, we are enslaved within the human capital machine.  We must choose from the job-menu of the human capital machine and trade our time for money; money being inherently worthless, we are enslaved.  Free will at a painter’s canvas is infinite (or more precisely, transfinite).  Free will within our most powerful quantum computers, I predict, will be, or will channel, absolute infinity.  Free will within the human mind channels absolute infinity, collapsing quantum potential states into the transfinite reality we know as our World.

That the Indians were not the first to discover the useful aspects of electricity does not mean they wouldn’t have.  In the generation of free will, time is not relevant – only the generation of free will matters.  The order of arrival at electricity is irrelevant, only the amount of free will generated, or potentially generated, matters.

The Indians of America generated an enormous amount of free will.  More than Europe in the same time period (position on the number line of our timed world is irrelevant, free will per unit of time is highly relevant- a subtle, key distinction).

The potential free will for our world has been far under-realized.  This is the crime.

The societies and cities that the Indians would have built, if given the time, are the societies we must build today.

Those one or few humans who find themselves able to justify such criminal action, mentioned above, always, without fail, focus exclusively on the justifications.  They always have highly complex moral rulebooks which must be interpreted by experts only, and therefore for a fee.  For example, think of lawyers, or priests.

Morality is very, very simple.  Trust no one who tells you otherwise.

Maximize free will.

There is no other morality.  This sentence has a commandingly conjugated verb, and then a two word noun.  It is a natural law.  It is both a positive and normative statement.  Free will is always maximized in the long term, as horizons always sum to a circle.

The morally proper action is the one which most clearly maximizes free will.  All other options are immoral.  Inasmuch as there is a finite amount of physically actionable free available to any particular living being (different than the ultimate free will of the imagination, the difference of which, for what it’s worth, equals existential angst), there is a parsable library or menu of possible discrete actions.  Of these parsed potential actions in the present moment, the only morally correct action is the only action which, again, most clearly maximizes free will.

A positive statement, to jog the memory, is a statement about what is.  A normative statement is a statement about what ought to be.  It is a rare beauty when a statement is both positively and normatively true.

There are deductions from this ultimate moral statement, and these are not to be confused with elaborations.  There is no way to elaborate or expand on this statement.  There are many, many different ways to communicate this morality, and I beg humanity to exercise creativity here – I have only expressed this in its most efficient English form.

A laundering system (not a laundry washing machine) is usually where you take some stolen thing of value, where the police are trying to follow it in order to track you down.  The stolen thing of value is bounced around the laundering system too many times for the cops to follow.  Its path is made too confusing, there’s too much hassle, and the cost of untangling the informational knot begins to exceed the value of the stolen thing.

Because the police (and also judges, prison guards, etc) in this metaphor, are the apprehenders (and judges and administrators of morality) (inasmuch as stealing is wrong – quite a morally non-controversial view, regardless of your potentially, often rightfully, negative opinion of modern police in general), the police (and judges and executioners) double as God in this metaphor (please don’t read into it any farther than that, I’m not saying police are God-like, just work with me here, this is the whole point of the essay).

These continuously mentioned “one or few individuals” will commit crimes so heinous, so beyond imagination in their evil, that the living person or few people committing the crime could never be punished enough.  Not through a thousand years of torture could these sins be forgiven; the person or small group of people dies too quickly to be sufficiently punished.

Old dude: “That’s graffiti on the city!” Me, without hesitation or preparation: “This city is graffiti on the Earth!” Old dude: “Whaaaaaaa?” Me: “This city… is graffiti…. on… the… Earth.” (thinking, what, did I stutter? No…. What a double idiot.)

The benefit of the profit of these crimes is enjoyed, however, by the participants in the system – the machine, or more accurately, the human capital machine.  The profits were and are enjoyed by groups far more numerous than were the criminals, though the wealth is not shared with all.  This wealth is shared only with the bourgeoisie.

Think of child armies in Africa, but of western adults, in much larger numbers, and with bigger guns, more structural organization, and with complete success within the paradigm’s own definition:  The Anglo-Atlantics have dominated the Earth since 1500; they and their sons committed these genocides, rapes, murders, and thefts, and brought the spoils to London (et al) between 1500 and 1900, and in the 20th and 21st century, their sons, to New York (et al).  The paper pushers at home (who only do the work which solves the irrelevant problems of these same paper pushers’ own creation) enjoy the spoils of the crimes – without the moral baggage.  The action of obtaining the profit they enjoy is so profoundly laundered that the sins are literally erased from collective memory, along with the eventual responsibility and potential for punishnent associated with the enjoyment of these profits.  The profit remains enjoyed, the sin is ignored, and I promise you above all other things – God is profoundly disappointed, to a level beyond which any human or group of humans could understand in any reality.  It is our World’s most absolute disappointment.

Before the mind of God, our economic machine is guilty of failing to maximize free will.  The punishment of our machine seems to be a wildcard – how can it repent for its sins?  Could it ever stop sinning and raping for economic profit?  Must it hit rock-bottom before the healing can begin?  How might this divine disappointment be counterbalanced and released into our shared reality?  Zombies?  The birth of utopian civilization?  Perhaps both simultaneously, among other things?

The classical ten commandments are a small part of the overall commandment-body of monotheistic-Abrahamic religion and moral nihilism.  There are countless commandments, spanning from the prohibition of multiple types of cloth being worn simultaneously, to the mandated hatred of homosexuals.  The complication of the Abrahamic body of commandments is intended to perplex and frusterate.  These convoluted moral commandments are the foundation of the Anglo-Atlantic non-morality; they fill a very naturally occurring negative space with something akin to the logical equivalent of static on a TV screen.  The opacity of the Anglo-Atlantic morality is meant to obfuscate and confuse what should be as clear as the noon-day sun like a layer of impenetrable Seattle overcast.

Some information is sacred.  Some information is important.  Not all sacred information is important, and not all important information is sacred.  The statement “maximize free will” is not sacred.  It is, however, of highest importance.  Everyone should know this phrase, not just the “sacred” few.  It is law, codified into its elemental state.  This fundamental law must be the first rule children learn.  Inasmuch as all are to know this rule, it cannot be sacred.  Nonetheless, it remains a successful positive and normative statement of highest importance.

For example, the commandment to not kill has obviously failed as both a positive and normative statement.  Though we humans agree on little, it is universally accepted that there is an appropriate time to kill just about anything.  In reality, we have killed indiscriminantly on all sides, and we’re rarely sorry.  In this way all of the 10 monotheistic, Anglo-Atlantic, Abrahamic commandments have failed, both as positive and normative statements.

But if you’re attached to there being ten more micro rules to follow, the below are 10 rules nature actually observes, and which we should all continue to observe (in addition to the crown jewel ultimate commandment, which is to maximize free will).  As with the supreme commandment, the physical laws of our reality allow us to break the the 10 below in the short term only.  The following are both positive and normative statements which are observed by all life, on Earth and everywhere:

Nature’s 10 micro-commandments

1. No incest
2. No cannibalism
3. No sex with anything other than a living adult of your same species
4. No touching poop or pee
5. Learn how to be social
6. Have lots of sex (Be safe, but seriously.  Lots.)
7. Eat what tastes good
8. Love your family
9. Accept responsibility for your actions
10. Wonder about a world greater than this

Consider this the World’s official replacement of the 10 failed monotheistic commandments.  May we now forever be aware that the nihilistic Anglo-Atlantic monotheistic non-morality was, is, and will always be dead.  Nature’s 10 commandments, along with the supreme commandment (maximize free will) are very much alive and in practice by all life which channels any scrap of God.

The following paragraph is a quick note:

Just pointing this out – the entire Catholic church is guilty, both directly and complicitly, of breaking the supreme commandment, as well as micro-commandments 3 and 9, in the institutionalized and accepted practice of priest-boy rape.  There is no greater evil.  It’s not that there’s no other evil, it’s just that other evil would, at worst, be tied with this for the greatest possible.  Additionally, in that Catholicism bears no resemblance to the teachings of Christ (hence, the abandonment of the name “Christianity”), in that Catholicism worships many saints and a holy trinity while claiming to be monotheistic, and in that Catholicism has been the moral vehicle of action for the majority of the crime of the human capital machine, and in that Catholicism places a moral “expert” between God and the individual, and in that Catholicism demands payment for its services, and in that Catholicism’s every depiction of Christ is in his suffering, his pain, his forced torture, and in that Catholicism primarily uses the cross as a symbol, rather than the fish or circle (far more appropriate symbols for Christ’s teachings), the cross being the instrument for Christ’s death, forced upon him, never chosen by him, never at any time a part of Christ’s true self, the cross being to Christ as the sniper rifle was to JFK; by its very own rules, Catholicism is patent, modern-day devil worship.

Conclusion:

The primary moral purpose of the Anglo-Atlantic economy is to launder.  If two subscribers of the Anglo-Atlantic non-morality can trade fancy pieces of paper on a table, history shows that they can therefore justify any heinous crime againt free will.  The wealth stolen is swapped so many times that humans lose track of whom to punish – but God does not.

I know I lack any power to punish this human capital machine, but I guarantee you one thing above all else: God will find a way.

There seems to be kind of a fever pitch toward war with Iran right now, and it has to stop.  (Today’s NYT article on the matter)

This is the beginning of the end.  We can’t let this happen.  I’ve written an article on how to peacefully end the conflict in Iran tomorrow.  It is easily possible to do this.  It requires the storage of energy, the importance of which I explain in this article.

WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO CHOOSE TO KILL EACH OTHER.

Please, people!  Instead of mobilizing humanity over the past century or ten toward war, violence, killing each other, and in times of peace, the idea that we’re devoting this productivity instead to “commerce,” and whatever the people who run “commerce” want.

WE MUST CHOOSE TO REVERSE OUR DOWNWARD SPIRAL

Perhaps this can be a call to my generation.  War is being forced down our throats by… someone.  This could be total war.  Looking at this, Iran is allied closely with Russia and China, and if we attack Iran, I’m worried that it could be more than enough to set off a chain of uncontrollable events very similar to the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand, which began World War 1.

We are on the verge of democide on a scale we’ve never before seen, and it’s the leading cause of death in the 20th century (I’ve heard).

I WILL NEVER ALLOW WAR.

If there is war, I will protest peacefully until they kill me or until they stop the war.  Please join me.

CARL RITTENHOUSE LARSON

The concept that our world is an energy-poor place, with limited, scarce resources which beg our competition, is totally wrong, existentially dangerous, and accepted as true by most (if not all of) the leaders of our world.

Every second, the Sun sends to us an unfathomably immense amount of energy.  This energy falls down upon our world like a silent snow.  This energy is absorbed by the many diverse surfaces of our planet, and usually is immediately converted to thermal energy, which is released into the atmosphere and more generally, our world.  This energy echoes and reverberates through the seas and canyons of our planet in many forms, waiting to be harvested and used for the benefit of human goals.

We humans require energy to survive.  Because we think of energy as a scarce thing, we’re prone to fighting over what we have presently available, rather than seeing and controlling our future reality.  Oil rich regions are increasingly soaked with blood, stemming from conflicts engineered by people who simply don’t understand that we have enough energy already – we just need to store it.

The Nevada / Arizona border, Hoover Dam. 99% of our energy is stored in the reservoirs of dams. This presents obvious and extreme geographic limitations.

Today, the only place we store energy is in the reservoirs of hydroelectric dams.  Over 99% of our world’s readily available stored energy is saved away in this fashion, using perhaps the most elementary mechanism possible – holding water in at the top of a hill, and letting it spin a turbine as the H20 molecules tumble down toward the sea, later to be evaporated and deposited back into the reservoir as rainfall.

In the below image, El3 is the amount of energy which is actually made available to consumers.  Raw coal, for example, fresh from the mine, can only power the cities of our world if it is burned in the furnaces of power plants.  However, of all the energy fed into the power plants of our world, many of which are coal, only 33% actually reaches consumers and is used.  For every light switch you’ve turned off to save electricity, there is the equivalent of two more lights perpetually on, simply being lost to systemic waste.  Ours is a radically inefficient process of producing and storing energy.

Not only is almost none of our world's energy stored, but only a third of what is generated even reaches consumers for actual use. Key: E1=Global energy consumed by power plants during production; El1=Electricity generated; El2=Internal use; El3=Electricity for consumption; L1=Processing Loss; L2=Transmission Loss. (Result of year 2008)

Envia Systems sells an electric vehicle with a range of 300 miles per charge, and which costs $20,000 MSRP, which is a dramatic improvement on recently available technology.

EOS Energy focuses on wholesale-level grid storage, and makes hyper-efficient novel batteries that actually “breathe” air, cycling ambient gas through its system to enable the necessary chemical reactions.  EOS is also developing a liquid battery which would behave almost exactly like oil, except that it could be recharged, and with renewable energy.

Engineers work on a turbine at the Grand Coulee dam, on the Columbia River in Washington State, USA. These beautiful, enormous pieces of machinery enable Washington State and the surrounding region to draw 94% of its consumed energy from sustainable sources.

There are 5 types of renewable energy generation processes, which if used together with energy storage, could power our world many, many times over.

1. Wind – the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface creates currents of air, which spins turbines

2. Solar – sunlight superheats steam which spins turbines

3. Geothermal – magmatic heat rises out of the Earth and spins turbines

4. Tidal – consistent oceanic currents flow over generators fixed to the sea floor which spin turbines

5. Hydroelectric – rainfall flows downhill with gravity which spins turbines

Not necessary are coal, natural gas, tar sands, nuclear, oil, biofuel, or ethanol.  We voluntarily choose these unnecessary, unclean processes.  To an objective observer, we simply prefer unclean energy.  We like it better.

In a formula, my point is this:

Global energy demand < (wind + solar + geothermal + tidal + hydro) * energy storage

These five types of energy generation are unpredictable and sporadic on a day-to-day basis.  Some afternoons are sunny, some are not.  This “unpredictability” is actually quite reliable when viewed from the proper perspective – as climatic trends, rather than daily trends.  Our lacking energy storage capabilities force us to view energy generation on the tiny time scale of hours or days, rather than months or years.  With better energy storage technology, our misconception that green energy is “unreliable” would quickly erode into the correct view: that the above five methods are in fact extremely reliable - much moreso than oil-based energy, which will be gone within a century or two.

Who could be skeptical that the sun will shine, that rain will fall, or that the wind will gust?

Sustainably travelling long-distance

Perhaps the most formidable challenge will be moving freight and passengers long distances, between cities, countries, and continents.  There are 3 methods of transport which must be sustainably practiced:

1. Shipping tankers

2. Airplanes

3. Trains

Trains are perhaps the easiest fit.  A bullet train corridor could easily be established where all along the corridor, there are energy storage facilities.  The close proximity of energy storage facilities to demand centers will be critical to minimizing energy transmission loss.  Trains could most easily be powered sustainably, and could carry the bulk of the global transportation load.

Airplanes could be powered by a rechargeable liquid storage of energy, such as that proposed by EOS (as mentioned above).  Airplanes, in my view, would be extremely difficult to power sustainably, though I do believe that this is possible.

Shipping containers could be outfitted with gigantic batteries instead of gas tanks.  These batteries could be removed upon exhaustion at special stations and quickly replaced with charged units to allow the ship to continue on its way.  The charging station would have a bank of stored full batteries waiting to be loaded onto passing ships.  Hawaii, for example, has a huge amount of energy storage potential, and could make a great recharging station for sustainable trans-Pacific shipping traffic.

A container ship crosses the Panama canal - in less than a decade, these ships could be powered sustainably

Iran and Israel are on a hard war path, and such a conflict presents an enormous risk to the peace of our planet.  This conflict is not one of race, nationality, religion or dogma – it is a conflict of energy.  Iran pursues nuclear energy so that it can provide more cheap electricity to its people.

But nuclear power is simply not necessary.  Iran needs to build energy storage capacity, and combine that with the five types of sustainable generation mentioned above.  Iran, nor any other country, needs to build nuclear generation facilities.  At best, these facilities are almost certain to melt down and cause catastrophe over the scale of geologic time; and this time scale is what we must use when we speak of, for example, large amounts of plutonium, which will remain radioactive and hot for millennia.  Even the most prepared and modernized of nations, Japan, was steamrolled by nature in March of 2011, resulting in multiple nuclear meltdowns which threatened the safety of tens of millions of people.  These risks are patently unnecessary.

Oil stinks like the murder of the innocent. Our global economy acts as a moral laundering system, where resources are stolen from the murdered, brought to market by the criminals, and consumed by the willfully ignorant. The US did it to the Indians, and it's happening in the middle east today. Indians? What Indians? Palestine? What Palestine?

Energy storage is centrally important to every aspect of life on Earth.  Mastering energy storage is a requirement for attaining world peace.  As we look into the future of our world, we have a huge amount of human productivity to allocate.  We can choose, like most of our ancestors, to use this human productivity toward violent means, fighting wars and committing more murder, or we can use it to build energy storage for ourselves and for our innocent posterity.

Declare independence: the 3 most important issues facing the world (preview: battery tech / energy storage is #1)

Pythagoras and his followers swore oaths on perhaps their most sacred symbol - the Tetractys.

Pythagoras was born  in 560 BC, on the Greek island of Samos.  Pythagoas influenced Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, and the general world of western philosophy.  Pythagoras is the earliest, best-known Greek philosopher, though he never wrote a word (to our knowledge).

All of what we know about him comes from what his students wrote, and from this, we know that Pythagoras was a mathematician, philosopher, speaker, teacher, musician, vegetarian, and religious leader who was fascinated by the patterns of mathematics in nature.

Beyond atoms, electrons, nucleii, protons, neutrons, up quarks, down quarks, muons, gluons, or even eleven dimensional strings, there are only numbers.  Matter and energy can be broken down ad infintum by our irrelevant classifications – math, numbers, and information theory govern the process at every step, so these are the best basis for reality.

Pythagoras – the spirit within him, at least – was once many other people, so this bears mentioning in his biography.  From Diogenes Laertius,

“Pythagoras remembered everything – how he first had been Aethalides, then Euphorbus, then Hermotimus, then Pyrrhus, the Delian fisherman. When Pyrrhus died, he became Pythagoras.”

Reincarnation, or metempsychosis, was the reality known by Pythagoras.  On Pythagoras’s first visit to Troy, he saw a shield from the Trojan war nailed to a wall.  He recognized the shield, and broke down into tears – it was his shield, when he fought in the battle of Troy in a previous life, as Ephorbus.  Pythagoras informed all around him that his name, Ephorbus, was inscribed on the inside of the shield.  The crowd was intrigued by the unlikely claim, and removed the shield to find it inscribed exactly as Pythagoras had predicted.

The Tetracys

Pythagoras venerated the tetractys – a shape so holy that Pythagoreans would swear oaths on it, like the Bible in modern western culture.  A tetracys is made of six points in the shape of a hexagon, with one at the middle, and with three at each corner to form a triangle with exactly ten dots.  The tetractys is actually an incredibly deep metaphor.

Aristotle studied Pythagoreanism, and from him we learn that

“…the Pythagoreans represented the world as inhaling ‘air’ form the boundless mass outside it, and this ‘air’ is identified with ‘the unlimited’. When, however, we come to the process by which things are developed out of the ‘unlimited’, we observe a great change. We hear nothing more of ‘separating out’ or even of rarefaction and condensation. Instead of that we have the theory that what gives form to the Unlimited is the Limit. That is the great contribution of Pythagoras to philosophy, and we must try to understand it.”

To examine and clarify this striking (and somewhat awkwardly worded) quotation, we have that “the Limit gives form to the Unlimited.”

Subjectivity is the idea that there is anything outside of the self, and objectivity is an experience-based observation on something within the self.  In objectivity, there is the Unlimited, in subjectivity, there is the Limit.  We have faith in the subjective (or limit), and knowledge in the objective (or unlimited).  To create subjectivity, one must encode the objective (for example, one might type on a keyboard, speak, play music, or paint – all of these are Limited encodings of the Unlimited).  Only when encoded can the Unlimited be given form and perhaps communicated.  This approach, or perspective, is a lens through which all reality may be interpreted.

As our understanding of the world advances and evolves, it becomes more complex.  The idea that numbers comprise reality can be easily applied to computers.  Computers are a type of reality, albeit a simple one at this point.  Computers use zeroes and ones, which are numbers, to operate.  Any reality created by computers, such as Second Life or WOW, is a very clear example of how our reality is fundamentally comprised of numbers.  As the quantum computers of the future loom over our horizon, the power of computer-based reality will grow exponentially, as will our need for a spiritual framework which encapsulates the entire process.

It’s one thing to say that mathematics governs our reality, but it would be an entirely different statement to say that numbers are our reality.  At first, this seems like saying that because a newspaper article is about a story, that newspaper article is that story.  This is a tricky distinction.    Our reality arises out of perception.  We never truly “see” anything, we only see our perception of it.  But in terms of the raw, uncommunicatable, pre-sensory experience, there is something Unlimited, objective, boundless, continuously and causally connected to us, this is the shared reality of which we speak.

This website is dedicated to the idea that the opinions and beliefs of Pythagoras were and are, in fact, correct, and it serves as a publishing platform for like-minded individuals to publish creative works of any relevant kind.  The only criteria is that it conveys Pythagorean ideas in new, original ways.  Truth, as John Stuart Mill tells us, has over falsehood the advantage of being able to resurface again and again throughout history.  The truths held holy by Pythagoras remain just as true and holy today, and Pythagoreanism.com is about expanding artistically upon those ancient truths.
