my friend, the Hidden Imam

12.5: relig/SMI(Seriously Mentally ill)/my friend, the Hidden Imam:
. I know a guy with an interesting mental illness,
a sort of schizophrenic personality disorder,
involving a style of magical thinking
that affects his ability to socialize .
. he thinks his thoughts are being broadcast
by god to other minds all over the world;
and god uses his mind as a public bulletin board;
which means he serves the same function as
Islam's Hidden Imam, providing guidance
like an Imam or priest, but telepathically,
and passively, not by addressing individuals,
but by being a sort of TV character
who everyone knows the details of,
so that god can tell us stories
that speak to all of us . signed by god .

. Mental Health calls him SMI(Seriously Mentally ill),
which makes him eligible for disability benefits;
but I was amazed at the uncanny coincidences
that make his "delusions" seems so believable .

. I asked my friend how he sustains such a delusion,
when he's routinely going to Mental Health
and getting asked questions like
"(are the medications giving you sideaffects?)
and "(have you heard any voices?).
"(how about any new smells?) I asked,
"(this condition doesn't smell to you?).
. he responded like an Imam, without blinking:
"(in America, when you live in a glass house,
you are too smashed to pick up a stone).

there is no compulsion in religion

12.5: news.relig/islam/qur'an/
there is no compulsion in religion:
Verse (ayah) 256 of Al-Baqara, the Qur'an.

"there is no compulsion in religion.
Verily, the Right Path has become
distinct from the wrong path.
Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût
and believes in God (ar. Allah),
then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold
that will never break.
And God is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

--
. notice this isn't talking about Islam,
which is a superset of being religious;
. religion is the state of
being aware of the supernatural .
12.11:
. this passage "(no compulsion in religion)
is typically misunderstood as suggesting that
Islam does not require compulsory religion;
rather, it is pointing out that being religious
has nothing to do with arduous self-discipline,
and everything to do with finding a true love .

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION and COMMENT
October/November: 2012

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside all people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between
two 'wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. ... The other is Good. ...
"Which wolf wins?"
"The one you feed."

evidence miracles are a political stunt

4.20: relig/jc/evidence miracles are a political stunt:
. notice Jesus Christ's peers, the other rabbis,
didn't take his miracles seriously?
they were eyewitnesses at the time,
yet their response was sarcastic:
accusing him of working too hard on the lord's day of rest .
. this disbelief by high-ranking witnesses
lends weight to the theory that
JC's miraculous cures were actually a political stunt
for spotlighting that most of these "(lame) beggars
were only faking physical disabilities
because the disabilities they actually did have
were caused by being unlovable social outcasts
due either to mental illness, sexual orientation issues,
or other behaviors resulting in a bad reputation .

prophets (messengers of god) as sons of god

1.10: adds/relig/
prophets (messengers of god) as sons of god:

. the son of a man has traditionally implied
one who carries on the ambitions of the father;
therefore, I think it would be helpful
to define "(son of god)
as one who was given a god-inspired message;
especially a message that is
not currently popular or obvious .
. why would a god have many sons?
god as the eternal (infinitely living) father
would appear to be programming our software
in the same way god has appeared to be
programming our hardware:
with a spark of genetic genius,
followed by a jungle of evolutionary testing .
. hence sons are expected to be finite,
good for just one phase of the evolution
-- an evolution that might go on indefinitely,
or as long as man's thoughts have some inputs into
the robotic (intelligent, demon-free) law enforcement .

. here is a summry of prior religions,
presenting their founders as sons of god:

. when son#judaism was given the rule to stay clean,
they impl'd it by separating self from unclean members,
applying it not just to communicable diseases,
but also to communicable psychological tendencies .

. so then son#jesus was given the rule:
get real! there are no dirty family members!!
treat all family as self .
. when jc couldn't reach his family,
he suggested the path to justice is
making the whole world your family:
if your kingdom is your heart,
your family members are those who
believe in your kingdom .

. son#catholic was given the rule that
the path to making the whole world your family:
is building a worldwider political hierarchy
that would force everyone under one holy flag;
but, to impl' this rule they had to
transform the christian message
into something like the pagan religions
that christianity needed to replace:
. you will follow jesus because the magic
shows he was the god:
jc's law was god's law .
. jc was just like you hindu's
coming back from the dead as a higher form,
a form that lives in the love of god .

. son#islam was given the rule that
son#judaism's law about not worshipping images
was not mere trivia:
it was a foundational commandment;
so, son#jesus's image as being a magic healer
is not what makes him worthy of respect:
what does make him worthy
is being given god-inspired rules,
ones that further the survival of eternal civilization .
. son#islam was also given a great rule about capitalism
that could have prevented all our economic depressions:
never allow loans for profit,
anybody who wants to invest should buy stock in a project .

. son#mormon was given the rule that a living god
should be represented by a living bible, one that grows .

. son#buddha was given the rules for
casting out demons!

. he lamented as the son of a king
in line for the throne,
that people were so persistently, inevitably
underserved by any king ruling over them,
so instead of pretending to be helpful as a king,
he gave his time to developing rules for
how we could all find the peace we want .

. most of the time people feel they
have to punish others because
they wouldn't have felt insulted
if only others had just been more polite;
so,
law#1: expect life to be emotional pain;
physical pain is almost never originating
from others: it's starting as emotional pain
injected from within by the devil,
who is the lord over technological evolution
who wants you to start some real pain
to evolve weapons and other technologies .
. if instead we would all not be the first one
to make a judgement against another,
that would solve a lot of violence .

. the other main problem was leadership:
people were always trusting
religions and governments
without understanding what they were doing;
and, this was another source of conflict .
. his idea for a world religion that we
could all believe in as one world
-- just like the catholics were hoping for
but without the violence of hierarchical leadership --
was to use a combination of
both your own common sense
and finding agreement by your community of elders .
. this would help everyone both own the religion
and remain future-aware, guided by experience .

. this would be yet another modification
of a son#judaism rule:
the rule affected this time
was to follow one's elders without question:
"( this is what your god wants;
your parents will make sure you know this;
make sure you honor your parents ).
. some of the things "(god) wanted
were pretty surprising;
not the stuff of common sense at all .

. one problem with son#buddha's rule
is that he was never discouraged by
a view of god as being a devil .
. what if people were inately
suicidal, not just ignorant,
bent on fueling the tech evolution
by starting yet another war
-- just for the "(fun) of it ?
. the pinacle of tech is almost here
(within the next 500 years)
just 2500 years after the buddha's ministry .

dreamed Obama's been divorced

11.5.5: pol/dreamed Obama's been divorced:

. I'm not recalling dreams too well these days,
but I had a vague memory of another memory
of dreaming about Obama
having a divorced wife who was angry with him .

. my caffeinated interpretations stirred:
the only thing like a divorce in his life
has been a trivial association with Islam
resulting in a "(conversion) to Christianity;
--
. before I researched this article
I was under the impression he was raised Islamic;
and, in places where Osama bin Laden ruled,
conversions might have had you killed;
so, in my dreams the night before,
the idea of an Obama conversion from Islam
was just as loaded as a divorce .

. next I was reminded that today's Christians
-- as Obama is a proud member of --
have divorced themselves from
the realities of what JC would have wanted .

. the usa's war in Afghanistan
is an obvious display of
revenge-style justice
in contrast to prevention-style
where we promise better airport security .
(what could be bring more closure
than "(that aweful crime
will never happen again!) ?
).
. now, it's no accident that
every usa president
has claimed to be a Christian;
because, usa is 75% Christian;
yet, these same revenge-seeking masses
present JC as loving the whole world
implying they expect us to
turn the other cheek for the whole world .

in fact, JC said this of revenge-style justice:
. for family dealing with family,
you should turn the other cheek,
rather than take an eye for an eye;
(Matthew 5:38-42, Luke 6:27-31) .
(in the case of non-family,
JC might still take eye for eye
-- or an Osama for a suicide bomber).
. but JC didn't just turn cheek for family;
he was also meek toward the fed's too;
yes, but that was just to stay focused on
making his persecuters look unfair;
elsewhere he does explicitely say
he's all about how family treats family .

. it all works out for Christianity, however;
because, the Christians are doing
what JC would actually do,
rather than what they [/]claim JC would do .
in fact,
JC didn't intend anything like Christianity
as it exists today;
he would not have worshipped a son of g-d
as being a facet of g-d
(except, of course, in as much as
anybody is the will of {g-d, satan});
and, he wasn't being worshipped:
people magically followed JC around
only because
Jews followed rabbis around .
. he was a good Jew, making Jews better!
-- his self-sacrificing protests were for
The Least of These Jews -- not the world .

. when today's Christianity claims that
JC intended on saving everyone;
that implies a follower should
turn the other cheek for everyone;
therefore, a Christian's response to 9/11
should have been non-violent;
so, just logically,
today's Christian would have provided
better airport security
and pleaded with the Zionists
to relocate near Christians who love them .
. but this is not
what usa's Christian wants .

. again, the Christians are doing
what JC would actually do:

“Render unto Caesar
the things which are Caesar’s,
and unto g-d
the things that are g-d’s”

-- Matthew 22:16-22
. JC never said he was
proud to fund Caesar's Roman federation;
those people were just the ugly reality
not the family he would die for .
. likewise, Islamic terrorists are not family;
they are just another federation attempt;
and while usa's Christians are following Christ,
Christianity's story is just lost in the weeds .

true healing:
. the sweetest revenge is
living en masse in wealthy peace,
my fellow revenge-loving proliferators .
. an Americanized (scienphilic) Islam
could emphasize the rational;
and make the dictatorial irrelevant .
. to the Islamic teen on the street
usa could look like the real Islam
-- no longer the Zionist installer
or Osama puller .

anti-obama is not exactly anti-liberal

4.26: pol/zionism/anti-obama is not exactly anti-liberal:

. conservatives are really just liberals for
corporates, bankers, oilers, and financiers!
. I'm hearing that same thing plastered across
Mark Levin's show this evening! [4.26]

. first there's an ad' for the Laura Ingraham show
where she reminds us that Obama
is trying to raise the nation's debt ceiling
when doing so will only tell congress
to just keep on doing what they have been .
. what about the fact that
most of the trillions being spent
are to wrap up a conservative's war?
and the corporate bailout ?
wasn't that for preserving
the little guy's jobs?
-- not just the dem'voting union jobs .

. while some may say the housing crisis
was caused by socialistic dem's,
we've had the Bush admn get a chance to
undo Clinton's undoing of the
finance watch laws;
-- but, hey, why would a conservative do that?
that was so liberating for bankers;
conservatives are really just liberals for
corporates, bankers, oilers, and financiers! [5.2:
. what's wrong with being
liberal for capitalists?
what's wrong with free parenting
alongside free outsourcing of jobs?
huh?, when you said outsourcing
you just kissed off Reagan's trickle down theory.]

. in Laura's defense,
we're not here to preserve jobs,
we're a capitalism harnesing a
chinese communism
and harnessing as well
that religious dictator of India
who is chronically overpopulating a mud pit .
. just who is Laura's constituency?
perhaps the hard-working, money-saving Christians
-- let's hope so, for the sake of her ratings .

. then comes Levin himself:
. Obama wants to cut off the oiler's
$4B subsidies;
Mark warns us that this will only
tax you at the pump;
well, yes, we know subsidies are
a form of socialism:
when you stop getting
cheese and butter subsidies,
you pay the true cost of the cow .
. I've often suspected Levin is really just anti-Obama
rather than being solidly pro-conservative;
but now he's slashing Obama for being anti-socialist?
. or is socialism ok for corporates ?
yes, even with billions in profits
to fuel its own R&D
you need a break at the gas pump!
. conservatives are really just liberals for
corporates, bankers, oilers, and financiers!

. in Levin's defense,
Obama rode in on a ticket of Palestinian fairness
even at the expense of Israel;
he also wanted to make up with the communists,
notorious for using the Jews to gain liberation
only to brutally turn on them,
suggesting they should goto ...
back where they came from !
. Obama needs to realize that
Islam is to Judaism
what Mormons are to Christians;
ie, Muslims are the true Jews!
-- not the anti-Jews!!
and, they're bringing the New Testament's
real translation,
(they are the true christ respectfuls also!)
so, having the latest superpower
bedding Muslims with old-style Jews
-- like they were prison mates --
is not ever going to bring stability .

. the soviet-era Jews scoffed at zionism as escapist
and only the likes of Hitler and Stalin
could have convinced them otherwise .
. Obama's fairness doctrine is such that
military aid to Israel depends on how Israel
works at negotiations with Palestine;
but, this will do nothing for
curbing Islamic resistance;
there are only 3 choices:
the possibilities of globalized zionism:

usa is zion

#resettle zion:
. the New World is so obviously
the Promised Land;
usa has 245 million free federal acres,
-- 13 percent of the total usa land surface
and more than 40% of all usa's fed land .
. in order to provide zionists with
what they're getting from Israel,
we'd need just 5 out of that 245 million acres,
445 sq.km (172 sq mi) of inland water,
and 273 km of coastline .

#invasion:
. overwhelming force might be used
to divide and conquer the Muslims;
but, if you haven't checked lately,
the Islamic world is huge .

#conversion:
. Islam is just as reasonable as the next
paternalistic dictatorship
(eg, drug wars jail our children,
privacy is kingpin of domestic violence,
bureacrats tax our residential property
instead of taxing what generates profit
and corporates outsource our jobs).

true Islam supports christian american values:

. you can do what Islam's founder intended;
it doesn't have to be foreign;
here's my first draft of how even a
capitalistic Christian or Jew could love Islam .

. there are many branches of Islam,
and while they all laugh at other branches,
they'd at least agree that a partial believer
is far better than an anti-believer .

. Islam's founder was greatly influenced
-- not by slavers and polygamists, but rather --
by his first wife (a 25-year monagamous marriage);
and, rather than being a founder of polygamy
he mentioned it simply to restrain
the current Arabian practices;
and, his policy mirrors that of
prior Jewish prophets .
. to the extent that polygyny cares for widows,
a monagamous version of Islam could
have the same effect by
fully funding communes for single women,
orphans, and disabled elders .
. each commune would be
abstractly fathered by a
particular constitution such that
only like-minded women lived together;
and,
troubled women could live without children
in exchange for less financial freedom
(part of cutting costs is by
having everyone eat the same meals
and buying toiletries in bulk).

. the only thing Islam asks of capitalism
is that we make money from stocks exclusively
rather than bonds and other forms of usury;
-- Islam could have prevented the housing crisis
by dealing only in housing stocks, not bonds .

manditory conversions:
. it is true that Islam requires evangelism;
however, this is nothing new to
american capitalists who are
so quick with a civil war
or a stream of frivolous law suits,
that their openness to destruction
would make islamic terrorism look tame !
seriously, though;
this mandate simply follows the Jewish example
of being smart about protecting culture;
 if you let a communicating body fester,
that body infects you and your children .
. foreignized Islam is easy to demonize,
but your own brand of Islam -- amen! --
should be in the federal constitution .

. at the time of Islam's founding,
the forced conversions by Islam were
simply to guard against
equally virulent conversions by Christians
which were turning their neighbors against them
replacing their local gov't control
with that of the Catholic empire's elites .
. Americans required conservative conversions too:
even if you thought communism was a nice path
to a steady income and decent labor rights,
anybody who mentioned communism in america
was actively conspired against .
. Americans require drug-free conversions:
even when entire states demanded access to marijuana,
the federation would convert them
by using its own police to uphold the law .

. at the mention of "(usa is the Great Satan),
one of the first things
a foreign Muslim thinks of
is the laws protecting freedom of pornography .
. Islam's prophet had 2 branches of activity:
# bringing the final message:
ie, no Jew-hating idolatrous charades,
Christian!;
# applying the current Word to his community:
ie, laws for public health and fairness .
. this is the context under which Islam
demands sexual purity;
all communities did this to inhibit promiscuity
and thereby protect against disease
(not to mention hard feelings:
JC's performance as a rabbi was
deeply affected by the rumor that
his genetic father was unknown).
. even more than public health, though,
the Word demands rapid population growth
for promoting war, evolving technology,
and protecting the future;
. if you can find some other way
toward that end
then you are welcome to practice birth control
including the use of the sort of porn
that women in your community would find to be
respectful or mutually effective;
but,
the peaceful way is not easy:
just think of how costly war is!
how much renewal of all things it causes:
that's the actual tax that g-d demands
to protect eternal future .

. what was the point of such showy prayers?
you could replace that with any sort of
frequent reaffirmations:
look straight up and chant several times:

"( I believe in one g-d,
a spirit that creates our emotions
like a director writes the scripts of actors .
. I believe in protecting feelings,
and I believe others possess feelings .)

. if you speak english,
you already speak the global tongue;
Arabic is a nice,but the point was that
all believers should speak a common language .
Iranian muslims don't speak Arabic either
although they share most of the same alphabet .

. Islam did specifically renounce
the theory that JC was "(the son of god)
but that is just symbolic language anyway,
like cussing
-- save it for the battlefield !
. a whole reading of the New Testament says
JC was of g-d, not of the devil,
meaning that he had good intentions,
he was not merely self-important .

. Islam did say Islam's founder was the final word;
and, that's not surprising
if you look at their perspective of history:
. in summary,
Jews were Chosen to dominate
if they followed the Word;
christians convinced the world that
anyone could be dominant
if they followed the Word
which now included a belief
that JC was the son of god
(an idolatrous heresy).
. Islam provided the final prophet:
you have the Word,
it applies to the whole world;
but it specifically does not include
a belief that JC was the son of god
-- or any other form of idolatry .

g-d's message is given to the Jews:

. culture should use law to prevent diseases
and catastrophes (floods, slavers, plagues, rapes, ...);
these laws should include dietary advice,
sexual practices, finance, foreign policy,
and the ways of the supernatural;
eg, the supernatural is real;
it does not depend on the natural
(1st law against idolatry).
. to promote both our
familial and cultural values,
the nursing parent should be
familiar with the culture
so that the first 3 months of life
are immersed in that culture;
ie, infants might learn by
synchronized thinking .
(that's why a true Jew must have a Jewish mother;
if, on the other hand,
the male provided the infant care,
then the father would have to be Jewish).

. the culture should insure that the
culture multiplies
(the g-d wants to evolve technology
that in turn insures eternal survival;
towards that end,
we must either be massively aware
of the need to multiply high-tech R&D;
or we must multiply the populations;
because that at least will
force the resource contentions
that in turn will cause
the wars that evolve technology .)

. Jews knew the Word of g-d
and believed their genetic family
was specifically Chosen:
ie, there would be many descendants,
and they were collectively promised a profitable future .

. while Jews of JC's era understandably believed
that JC misrepresented g-d's Word
Christians believed JC was a prophet,
ie, able to speak on g-d's behalf;
and they interpreted his message
as meaning that everyone
who believed what Jews believed
could equally be Chosen .

. JC had been an icon of equality:

"(if Jews are g-d's Chosen,
then even the least of Jews should be Chosen;
so, even if being ill doesn't seem Chosen,
we still don't make lies about them being sinners
or about g-d making them ill in order to
punish personal sins;
instead,
we stand by them and cure their illness)

. the elites, however,
had a different sort of illness to cure:
every time they got things productive,
the mobs would overpopulate and dilute the wealth;
so, you have to find some way to
organize mobs into armies;
then elites survive while armies die .
(not a bad deal since mobs started it, eh?);

. JC's message might seem to say
that the right thing to do
is to yell at the elite until they share more;
but that would dilute everyone's wealth
and leave them vulnerable to the mob next door .
. so, the elite's deal must be:
a christian mindset should be all about
dying to push your beliefs for their own good;
that way we can attack pre-emptively,
and while the mobs still suffer
under such poverty and inequality
it's because the mobs next door won't believe;
because if they did, they would share !

. next door to JC was the arabian peninsula,
where Islam's founder resided;
and, 500 years later, when Islam was born,
Christians had by then,
increasingly over-simplified the story,
in order to convince the overpop'ing masses
to adopt the elite's Christian culture .

. like JC's King of the Least of these Jews,
 Islam's founder was a reluctant prophet,
and, he worried about
the life of cultural reform being one of
pitiful self-sacrifice;
but if he succeeded, arab culture would be
not only safe from invasion,
but a much better place for women, children,
charity cases, and those needing loans .

. when the Christians gave him the Word,
what he noticed about their "(son of god)
was that he loved a Bible which
warned repeatedly about the very idolatry
that the Christians seemed to be guilty of:
# worshiping the physical as being god;
so, there was the final Word:
. in declaring JC was a form of g-d;
Christians were trampling on
the very Jewish beliefs
that made Jews the Chosen ones .

I'm stopping to look up now:

. I believe in one god,
a spirit that creates our emotions
like a director writes the scripts of actors .
. I believe in protecting feelings,
and I believe others possess feelings .
. all my hate was written by the same g-d
that wrote all the actions I hated;
hater and hated were both defending feelings,
and in both cases g-d was defending future .
. feelings are adaptable suggestions;
they come from g-d -- not your brain*
. we should talk more
about when to compromise
vs when to privatize,
vs when to respectfully segregate
-- but, without leaving anyone
in a ghetto or a war zone --
vs when to demand of our mobs
far more R&D and less children;
ie, g-d's peaceful path to perfection .

*:  I'm not denying brain imbalances can
sometimes cause lack of self control
only asserting that when it feels natural
look again, you're in the Matrix).

4.28: pol/zionism/psychological judo:
. Islam should by using psychological judo,
and instead of resisting zionism
encourage it as part of an anti-nazi act;
remember:
the Nazi's, when they force-marched jews to Zion,
weren't resisting what Islam resists
no, they were national socialists,
and they were resisting
open competition by foreigners
-- they may as well have resisted open evangelism;
because,
the jews in Germany were setting a good example
of what a tight-knit culture can do
for competitiveness .

the myth of unfair capitalism

2.12: pol/wealth gap/the myth of unfair capitalism

. I'm still hearing about the widening gulf of wealth disparities
as being an indicator of unfair compensation policy;
in fact it's a very precise indicator only of
the population being super-sized .
. if you can make just 1 dollar per person
say, selling a unit of corn syrup
to billions of people,
then you can still be a billionaire
even though billions could afford
only corn syrup .
. the beauty of global trade at this time
-- when there are still developing nations --
is that labor costs for your pricey items
become dirt cheap,
and employees can easily give billions back
to a corn syrup tycoon
because underdeveloped equals overpopulated
(and ignorant eno' to sugar everything!).

sweetened ham

[see why that's unhealthy]

. if everyone did get fair salaries,
it would not stop wealth disparities;
instead, employees would be replaced with machines,
and in their unemployment,
they could still afford corn syrup .
. the savings ability of the billionaire
depends only on
automation replacing people
while still having billions of people to sell to.

corn.syrup inside

. with capitalism applied to reproduction,
parents would form a reproduction cartel:
slowing production to meet demand,
and would keep slowing it until
pervasive labor scarcity
causes a high min'wage .

capitalism is broken by religion:
. people have a god-given right to
control their own reproduction;
and some even have a god-given requirement
to not control it!

capitalism is broken by a lack of religion:
(a lack of socializing institutions):
. children are not just capital,
parents have them to both express personal pride,
and to repress fears of growing old alone
without the brave and energetic in their corner .

. the religious will plead for charity;
ie, redistribution of wealth done voluntarily;
liberals are accused of doing it involuntarily;
this would not be truly progressive .
. we should instead be advancing social security
in the form that churches once had:
they had a strong sense of community,
assisted by localization of the economy .

. well, localization just might be far off;
how can local ownership of children be possible
when people are moving around for jobs?
the gov' should strongly encourage everyone
(esp'ly those who are potential or current parents)
to spend most of their time in community centers
helping with the care of elders and children,
instead of working so hard to buy escape from others .

. the progressives need to point out
that while communes as practiced by churches
was held together by hateful bigots
it served some valuable functions we sorely need:
. hidden power differentials should not be
looming over all the women and children .
. everyone should be taking care of elders;
ie, instead of teen clubs and senior centers,
there can be communes for every lifestyle
-- including racists and other bigots --
but with always an intergenerational mix:
these communes would be the various houses of
who I am and will be .
[3.3:
. but that would bring you right back to now!
most elders and youth culture
mutually consider the other rude .
. well, that gets to science-based morals;
if there's nothing wrong with a behavior
why are you suppressing it? ... endless .
. anyway,
it's a nightmare to single-handedly
care for the senile or emotionally challenged;
and if we all were drafted to help the impaired,
we would start thinking about how our society
can do less impairing .]

. the only people who should be alone are students,
everyone else should be communed .
. that policy may be bucking American nature
since by the way it was populated
it may have acquired a genetic tendency to
take large risks for personal space .
. then again, you could look at
the same [suburban is normal] religion
and conclude instead,
that being the king of your own castle
is simply the easiest thing to do, and
not the thing our demons force us to do .

. never underestimate the power of the devil;
we never would have
struggled to get the science,
and advance the state of empowering tech
without ugly emotions disempowering us:
. there may be an irresistable supernatural force
causing overpopulation,
and an easy path to that could be
making people seem unappealing to each other;

"(. people just love peace ... in a toilet:
wouldn't you rather just start over
and make people in your own image?
he'll,...
welcome to the church of private parenting!
you are now happily on your own .)

. the traditional church did not allow this .

. the major religions have all had some
complementary ways of controlling population:
judaism:. only the educationally tested
are deemed eligible to be parents
(Bar and Bat Mitzvah):
"(sons and daughters of the commandment)
-- not children of the free spir't .
christianity:
. we don't need to out-reproduce the world,
we should convert what's here, and call them us .
islam:
. by allowing the man to have multiple wives,
we take the pressure off every woman to reproduce;
population growth is exactly proportional to
the number of active women .
buddhism:
. if overpopulation makes sense to you and your elders
then you might still find peace
by not expecting the universe to be pain-free :) .

[3.3: in sum:
. the wealth gap in modern times
is caused by a culture of over-reproduction;
and, aggravated by racism and democracy .
. the culture of right-sized reproduction
includes communal parenting and senior care .
. and,
watch those teens around the senior drugs
(yet another wealth gap!).]

fig-leafers and web 0.1

2.18: relig/fig-leafers/the web 0.1 of sociology:
. in the context of sociology or religion,
web 0.1 is the policy of information hiding:
anything that shouldn't be doable
shouldn't be mentionable (webbable) either;
. that strategy does have a valid psychological impact:
it is a constant reminder that some acts are so bad
you can't even think about them!
-- and it even has no side-affects,
if your dogs don't talk much anyway .

. it's meant to complement a traditional
representative form of gov':
one that lets elders do all the policy negotiations;
this is efficient because elders are
less tempted by the mere mention of unmentionables;
. it also enhances political security
by practicing the principle of least privilege:
ie, give subordinates only those powers that are
absolutely essential to doing their assigned function .

. web 0.1 is the real frontline
in the liberal vs conservative debate;
when they argue about biblical interpretation issues
(eg, creationism vs evolution):
it is about defending the fundamentalist's right to
practice the principle of least privilege .
[2.19:
. the term "(fig-leafer) is referring to the
Genesis story (3:7):

"( Then the eyes of both of them were opened,
and they realized that they were naked.
So they sewed fig leaves together
to make themselves loincloths. )

. "(fig-leafing) has previously described the idea
that worshipping privacy rights
is the original sin that spawns all others;
ie, we could insure proper childcare by
insisting on non-private (communal) parenting;
but we'd lose all our church members!
instead we lose many children
to devils both secret and bold .
. as the Great Rabbi noted (Luke 18:16-17):
without spending our whole life guided
-- starting from early childhood --
we cannot enter the Kingdom of God at all!
. he then mentions that no men are good; (Luke 18:19)
so, why are we maximizing our trust of them?
because, privacy -- our fig leaf --
is the root of all evil .
(life's not all bad;
as some of the bible's prophets remind us,
the devil and god are really the same
(it just depends on
which end of the holy gun you're on!);
for instance, all the hurts that men cause
will only insure that men also devlope
the war technology that will secure our
eternal survival in this physical universe
-- where new stars are being born eternally:
all we have to do is travel to empty space,
and by the time we get there
we'll have a fresh solar system waiting for us!
then our robots can charge up,
and grow some living brains
on a computer's stimulation matrix
allowing us to live inside a
dream synthesizer .)

. web 0.1 can actually be seen as
a variation of fig-leafing;
because, both privacy rights and unmentionables
are relying on information hiding
in order to secure domains of authority;
and, coincidentally, they are both
instruments of a religious military machine
whose economics are too overwhelmed with
out-breeding the enemy
to properly fund a careful debriefing
of what's been going on here,
and why it has to keep going on that way .
. privacy and information supression
are both part of an authoritarian hierarching
that will minimize authority conflicts,
and maximize group cohesion .

. the term "(occult) (hidden) is used by fig-leafers
ironicaly, to identify those who reveal the hidden .
(we usually think of occults as doing evil secretly;
but they are given that name by secret-keepers
for devilishly not keeping things secret!)
. for instance, prayer is an acceptable way
to interact with the supernatural;
other ways are secret (forbidden and unmentionable),
and therefore the domain of "(occults).

. the practice of denying women education
has sometimes been seen as fig-leafing;
but I'm betting it's really a combination of
30% protecting girls from unwed pregnancy,
and 70% an exciting atmosphere of sexual slavery .
. as an aside,
it's often assumed that islamic polygamy
is really about sexually enslaving women;
in fact, polygamy was the idea of the Prophet's wife
seen as a way to get the crude masses
to care for widows
-- the many widows made by perpetual wars
(so you might say it's more about enslaving
militant christians).]

purges throughout the ages

9.30:
. I had so much fun in wiki the past month
learning about the supercycles of history .
. it started with the wondering about the
people around the Great Wall of china .
. this lead me to Stalin,
and the wide world of
purgings throughout the ages!
. there I found I had so much to learn
about the pervasiveness of slavery,
the persecution of Jews and communalism .
. I've just started making a summary timeline
of these topics, and I include some here,
but the final project can be found at a knol:
purges throughout the ages:
supercycles of free parenting, free enterprise, and privacy rights .
summary:

. the world has been, and continues to be
an agonizing replay of unchecked growth,
invasions, enslavements, and mass murders;
empire after empire:
war, slavery, and property rights
have been our only birth control .

real victory in war

3.10: news.pol/Armored Trucks Shield Marines From Taliban Bombs:
. here is the real victory in war:
when the technology evolves to save all lives .
npr:

. The M-ATV is one type in a class of MRAP's
— mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles .
. base price is $437,000,
($1.4 million fully loaded with all its
electronics and safety options) .
"(
Initially when the blast went,
it was surprisingly quiet
"The vehicle inside — if you ever get in one —
it's very quiet.
Just the initial shock of the truck lifting up,
-- at least 70 pounds of homemade explosives --
... doing a knuckle bump with each other and laughing.
) .

christian soldiers

3.6: co.apt/pol/christian soldiers:
[after seeing the news portray usa soldiers as
having group prayers during battle:]
. why are they [usa news channels]
presenting the soldiers as christians?
they are there defending the amer'values
for the constitutional Great Smut!
[ref. to islam calling usa the Great Satan,
while pointing at our constitutional protections of
smut, and other immodesties or immoralities .]
. shouldn't it be the reverse?
reporting instead that we come
not to engage in religious wars,
and that we are going to clean up our citizens
in order to not offend modest sensibilities ??
. well,
I can understand this as excluding muslims
from fighting beside them,
and it may give them a morale booster to be
showing christian devotions for the news
to tease the muslims that are
giving them a hard time .
. conversely,
seeing soldiers showing religious pref's
reminds us that they're not just soldiers
but individuals from among citizens .

the final prophet

12.20: relig/Islam/the final prophet:

. think it funny for a prophet to claim

he's been told he'll be the final prophet?

after all,

the bible that the prophet respects does record a string of them!

. perhaps the main point was that

the new world really needs only one message:

it seems obvious the first big new message (given by christ)

was that real promises of justice are not mocked;

and then when "(Christians) turn this message

into a cultish military machine

then the final message (given by Islam's Prophet)

is to guide us in the meaning the new message .

. Christ's main concern was not about whether Christ is a god!

rather, it was about getting real justice:

not abusing women, borrowers, or the poor

(children, possessed, mutilated, diseased,

prostituting, tax collecting, ...) .

finance regulation lessons from Islam

11.6: pol/finance regulation/lessons from islam:

. another muslim-unique rule is no money from lending .

. this could mean that all customers have to pre-pay,

or that all markets should be in stocks not bonds,

where you use your savings to buy co.ownership in a money-maker .

. a usaa fin.mgt and depression historian

pointed out how deflation works:

demand falls off massively in a fin system that borrows a lot;

it involves doing production in huge batches

or for very expensive items .

. mass production can be very cheap

but if the masses don't buy the product

then the business is scrambling to pay for the loan,

because money is rented, so time is money .

. this forces unfair sales prices just to pay off the loan .

abrogation

11.12: news.relig/islam/abrogation:

. abrogation refers to having

early koranic positions superceded by later positions .

. a view used esp'ly by militant factions .

[12.30:

. why should it be specific to militants?

Naskh, usually translated as "abrogation";
Over the last century, there have come to be
serious objections to the very idea of Naskh
within the Muslim community;
returning to a dissenting attitude from early Muslim history
(e.g., Abu Muslim Al-Asfahani 948-1038 C.E),
many modern scholars now reject it outright.

Many verses counsel patience in the face of
the mockery of the unbelievers,
while other verses incite to warfare
against the unbelievers.
The former are linked to the Meccan phase
when the Muslims were too few
the latter are linked to Medina
where the Prophet had the strength
The discrepancy between the two sets of verses
indicates that different situations
call for different regulations.

^{[Burton, Naskh, Encyclopaedia of Islam (EI)²]}

Islam's message

10.3: co.apt/relig/islam/the message:

. G*D's main message to islam was:

don't use infanticide to deal with the problem of

there being too many women;

use multi-marriages to absorb all the widows

-- and there will be a lot more widows,

because we are going to be hard at war

enculturating the environs .

10.9: relig/Islam Scientific:

. the way a humanist should be Islamic

is to admit that the christians are too subtle

and their call of christ as god

too easily confused with idolatry or polytheism .

. admit Muhammed was a prophet of G*D

but also combine that with monotheism:

all of the supernatural -- good and evil -- is G*D .

. being human actually means

being a mouthpiece to both;

science is about finding ways to sort out

the good from the evil:

G*D is the good future,

devil is the wicked past .

. let science determine what words were good's will

vs devil's will .

the Hereafter

7.4: news.relig/islam/believe the Hereafter:

Ruling on the one who denies the Hereafter,

and how to convince him

www.islamhouse.com/p/208247

[12.27:

. how can we be so concrete about

interpretations of "(hereafter)?

. the solid truth I find

is that my ancestor's elders wrote of the hereafter

in order to bring awareness of the

supernatural:

the nature of feelings as being

created by spirits which include

both the deceptive and the omniscient .

. but most of all, the story of the hereafter

is to bring awareness of

the hereafter of feelings:

after self,

there is the same precious feeling in

every other person;

and, worrying about what effect

this world has in the next world

is a tangible model of how

handling situations for my feelings

has important consequences for

the feelings of others

-- and the feelings of self

in the living future . ]

the corner stone in zion

2017.2.23: preface:

. Islamic war against zionism and Western imperialism,
while fighting a much stronger opponent,
has gained an advantage with suicide bombers,
and the only way the West can compete
since they can't expect their soldiers to suicide
is to develop expendable robotic soldiers.
however, it's a mistake to assume that
it was the Islamic-zionism fight alone
that would lead us to develop robotic weapons.
. the savior of the world will be
a robotic-enforced global government
that can implement global arms control.
. wwIII will leave only one military surviving,
which leads to global government;
wwIII will be started by christians
who fight anti-zionists and dictators.
