the most important directive of the Torah

20.5.20: relig/judaism/
the most important directive of the Torah:

Reform Judaism Rabbi Josh Weinberg 2020.5.19:

"( “Proclaim liberty” (Leviticus 25:10)
is the most important directive of the Torah,
more basic than having one God
and more fundamental than ... even
loving one’s neighbor as one’s self.)

. the whole point of liberty
is that "free will" comes from the spirits;
the supernatural makes demands on us,
and it becomes very painful to ignore those demands;
both liberty and pleasing our god
mean the same thing:
following the will of the supernatural.
. even loving one’s neighbor as one's self
is concerned with
following the will of the supernatural
as it pressures us to protect similar beings
who follow the will of the same god.

. thus nothing is more basic than
Deuteronomy 6: 4-5:
4 Give ear, O [the prophet's people]:
{Adonai, Adonoi, The Lord(owner, master, guardian)}
our god is one: [ie, the god of gods:
the will of the supernatural
shall be the same for all of us:]
5 And our god Adonai is to be loved
with all your heart, soul, and strength.

. here is the meaning of that command:
the supernatural comes to us with a variety of ideas;
some of which are contradictory,
eg, the supernatural wants some to gain by cheating
only to want others to discourage cheaters.
. thus there are limits to liberty,
as the god cannot have
what the god later regrets;
therefore, knowing the god is one,
that we all hear the same god,
and not a cacophony that would bedevil us,
is more basic than liberty.

. on the other hand,
if your people and my people
cannot agree on the same god;
truly then, nothing is more important than
liberty to love our own god and not yours.

. but what about world peace?
therefore, we should design our god of gods
to meet only the most basic needs
to require the fewest loss of liberty.
but can we really agree?
. some assume abortion saves a child from
the abuse of subconsciously feeling resented;
while others assume such euthanasia is murder.
. some feel abortion saves the world,
as it is the only way of reducing population
and building wealth that helps with peace.

. the 3rd alternative, by the god I promote,
is to communalize child production
and vote on how many children a person can have.
. each commune can have their own vote
(I join where they let the entertainers and scientists
do 80% of our breeding!)
but there are limits to the poverty of a commune:
a commune that is spending more on unemployment
than on education, needs to demand that
the commune as a whole has fewer children.
. if a commune has trouble with compliance,
they need to start restricting the men involved
rather than euthanizing their children.
. we can afford a few mistakes
without making the kids feel resented,
because we are all coming together to
finance and babysit the commune's children.
. communes don't need to share a house;
but sharing childcare is easier if you live nearby;
they only need to share a newsletter.
. but this also means that parenting is allowed
only if some commune agrees to adopt you;
a parenting club with enough members
to cover the costs of unemployment.

. it's true, isn't it?
nothing is more important than liberty;
not even the care of the children.
give us liberty from liberty.

healthy cows eat grass and make methane

/healthy cows eat grass and make methane:
Israeli Researchers Cut Air Pollution
by Reducing Gas Output from Cows
[Judy Siegel-Itzkovich 2020 May 14]
. the author of this news supposes that
if a researcher studies the origin of cow germs
(diet vs germs given by mother)
it must be to control a greenhouse gas,
but I couldn't find such a concern
mentioned in the reference;
and, that is as it should be; because,
healthy, happy cows eat grass not grains;
and fermenting grass makes a lot of methane.

1918 flu pandemic a #WWI #bioweapon? bleeding from high-dose aspirin

20.5.1: health/immunity/1918 flu pandemic
/H1N1 with bleeding from high-dose aspirin:
summary:
. the 1918 flu pandemic was an H1N1 virus;
there was some who suspected it was a bioweapon
and not just the flu;
because a lot of bleeding was involved,
as if it was hemorrhagic fever virus
meant to influence the current war (WWI);
however, there was a new popular fad at the time,
of taking very high doses of aspirin
as it it had only recently been discovered;
and they unaware that it was the aspirin
that was causing the same sort of bleeding
that is caused from scurvy or low vit'C.
. historian on @scifri radio said
the 1918 pandemic was able to kill just the young
because it caused an autoimmune reaction;
so, the stronger you could attack the virus
the stronger you would attack yourself.
