Lies of Genesis

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Bible: the FIRST thing JHVH1 created was the Earth, so the Earth is just as old as the universe!

Truth: the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. The universe is 13.798 ± 0.037 billion years old.

Bible: before there was anything else on Earth, there was water.

Truth: there was no water on the Earth because it was all MOLTEN. It needed to cool down over a hundred million years before liquid water could even exist.

Bible: the "deep" was dark.

Truth: Magma glows red and yellow! Molten magma sure as fuck isn't "dark"!

Result: 3 lies in 2 verses for 150% lies.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Bible: Daylight was created AFTER the formation of the Earth.

Truth: Daylight == Sunlight and the SUN formed 4.57 billion years ago. Which makes it OLDER than the Earth!

Bible: Light is some kind of essence separate from darkness.

Truth: Light is IN darkness. What would you call space other than pure darkness? And if you don't call space darkness then darkness is merely the ABSENCE of light. Or the PERCEPTION of low light. Sun spots are very, VERY bright ... they're just less bright than what's around them so they appear black. Since humans and living beings didn't exist then, and even the bible doesn't claim they did, saying that JHVH1 separated the perception of darkness from the perception of light is a LIE!

Bible: there was only one revolution of the Earth either on its axis or around the Sun (one day or one year) during the ENTIRE formation of the Earth.

Truth: it took a billion years for the Earth to cool. That's hundreds of billions of days.

Result: 3 lies in 3 verses for 100% lies.

6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

Bible: the sky is water. H2O. It's separated from the land by a magical forcefield or a glass bubble or something.

Truth: the sky is NOT separated from the land by anything, magical or otherwise, forcefield or otherwise. The sky is not even "out there" it's fucking IN HERE. The sky is in fact the outer edge of the atmosphere. In reality, there's no such thing as "the sky" except as an illusion, there is only THE ATMOSPHERE.

Truth: the atmosphere sure as fuck isn't H2O.

Truth: the volcanic outgassing that formed the atmosphere sure as fuck didn't form in a day!

Truth: there is a conspicuous absence of mention of the fact the first atmosphere didn't have any oxygen and that the formation of oxygen is known as the Oxygen Catastrophe since it was POISON TO EARLY LIFE!

Truth: the condensing of the oceans out of steam happened over a billion years!

Result: 6 lies and 1 omission in 3 verses for 233% lies!

9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Bible: land was uncovered from water receding.

Truth: the only time this happened was during Snowball Earth events, when all life on Earth was destroyed! How the fuck is this "good"?

Truth: the land was created from the super-continents RISING due to PLATE TECTONICS!

Bible: there were multiple seas at the beginning.

Truth: There was ONE ocean and ONE super-continent.

Truth: Conspicuously missing is any mention of cometary bombardment, and of the early ocean being 200 degrees Celsius! In other words, BOILING. Not exactly "good".

Result: 3 lies and 1 omission in 2 verses for 200% lies!

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

Bible: seed-bearing plants were the FIRST of all vegetation to be created.

Truth: seed-bearing plants were the LAST to evolve! They evolved about 300 million years ago, whereas plants crept onto the land about 420 million years ago. That's about a hundred million years that's just breezed by without a single word!

Bible: every seed is "according to its kind" - there are no MIXED kinds. There are no plant hybrids!

Truth: not only are there plant hybrids but there are FERTILE plant hybrids. In fact, probably MOST plant species are hybrids of some kind or another! Hell, EVERY LAST SPECIES OF SEED-BEARING PLANT IS A HYBRID!

Result: 3 lies in 3 verses for 100% lies.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

Bible: Daylight is not Sunlight. Daylight is not CREATED or GENERATED or RADIATED by the sun, but merely "controlled" by the Sun's magical powers!

Truth: Daylight == Sunlight!!!

Bible: the moon generates light!

Truth: the moon REFLECTS light!

Bible: the moon was created separately from the Earth.

Truth: The moon was created FROM the Earth, and another planetoid.

Bible: the Sun was created AFTER vegetation.

Truth: (blinks) do I need to say this?

Bible: the Sun is responsible for years!

Truth: The EARTH is responsible for years!

Bible: the Sun is NOT A STAR! It was created BEFORE the stars!

Truth: the Sun IS a star! And as stars go it's fairly young!

Bible: the stars are in the "sky" that is at the edge of the atmosphere.

Truth: the stars are thousands of light years away and it would take THOUSANDS OF YEARS for their first light to reach the Earth!

Bible: the planets are stars!

Truth: the gas giant planets were responsible for the Late Heavy Bombardment which remelted the Earth and cleared out all the asteroids. Hardly insignificant "lights" in the "sky".

Result: 9 lies in 5 verses for 180% lies.

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

Bible: birds were created as-is.

Truth: birds evolved from DINOSAURS. And the first flying dinosaurs didn't have feathers so they weren't birds

Bible: fish were created much, MUCH later than seed-bearing plants!

Truth: Seed-bearing plants evolved at the END of the Devonian period. The whole entire Devonian period is also known as The Age Of Fish!

Bible: EVERY living animal species was created simultaneously..

Truth: species evolve and go extinct. The mass extinctions, of which there have been MANY, are conspicuously missing in this Children's Storytime episode. You'd think that 95% or more of ALL LIFE ON EARTH DISAPPEARING would be worth a mention in Genesis, but nooooo!

Bible: There are no transitory species. There are no hybrid animals.

Truth: there have ALWAYS been hybrid animals. Coyote-dogs, fox-wolves, many, many more. And as for transitory species ...

4 lies and 1 omission in 4 verses for 125% lies.

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Bible: Reptiles were created AFTER seed-bearing plants. Amphibians were created AFTER seed-bearing plants.

Truth: Reptiles are 310-320 million years old. Seed-bearing plants are younger than 319 million years old. So roughly the same time, or older. Amphibians are 370 million years old, so much older than seed-bearing plants.

Truth: there is a conspicuous omission of the insects!

Bible: Amphibians and reptiles were created AFTER whales!

Truth: Give me a fucking break, whales are MAMMALS! So they're younger than 65 million years old!

Bible: there are no transitory species, there are no half-reptiles, or half-amphibians or whatever.

Truth: Bull and shit. You'd have to be pretty fucking retarded to not have heard of all the transitory species. So much for all that "after its own kind" cock and bull story!

Bible: God created livestock at the same time he created reptiles.

Truth: HUMANS created livestock through DOMESTICATION several hundreds of millions of years later. That fucking credit-stealing asshole!

Result: 5 lies and 1 omission in 2 verses for 300% lies.

27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Bible: Humans were badly designed to resemble a retarded mongoloid evil god psychopath who couldn't even tell a good story to his legions of mindless peons.

Truth: well, the badly-designed, retarded and mongoloid are all true. However, humans weren't created OR designed. They evolved. FROM MONKEYS. Which is why the first humans were all incestuous, homicidal, genocidal, and infanticidal. Also MINDLESS, incapable of language and lacking in consciousness!

Bible: the first humans being created "in the image of God" were capable of thoughts such as "this is good".

Truth: without language and without consciousness, this is totally impossible. The first homo sapiens sapiens WERE ANIMALS. They made retarded mongoloids look like super-geniuses! And they were so for ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS, until 9,000 years ago!

Result: 2 lies in 1 verse. 200% lies! And that's being generous.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Bible: humans were created in order to rule other species, even fish and birds.

Truth: for 100,000 years, homo sapiens sapiens WERE ANIMALS. Completely mindless, incapable of speech, incapable of thought!

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Bible: humans are "blessed" in their biology.

Truth: humans have just about inferior everything. Human eyes are vastly inferior to birds. Humans are susceptible to viruses for no good reason. Humans are ... fuck I don't want to go on, the list of flaws is so long it would fill entire books. There's a reason medical doctors are rarely if ever religious. Second only to psychologists who have to deal with the supposed "wonder" that is the schizophrenic mind, made in "God's image". If taken literally then God must be a psychotic madman with delusions of grandeur and no grasp of reality. Hmmm okay, that is totally believable.

2 lies in 2 verses for 100% lies.

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Bible: green plants exist to be food for animals.

Truth: it appears the plants disagree, given the copious array of POISONS which plants have evolved. They don't like to be eaten. Or maybe JHVH1 is just a total fucking asshole "giving" everyone poison!

Truth: Ever heard of the word "inedible"? It doesn't apply just to rocks!

2 schizophrenic lies from a total fucking asshole in 2 verses for 100% totally psycho EVIL GOD!

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Bible: the Earth right after God created it was "good".

Truth: NO, NO IT WASN'T. IT WAS VERY, VERY BAD! Wheat hadn't evolved. Strawberries were inedible tiny lumps. Just about all the food plants were missing. Aurochs were deadly - there were no cows. Boars were deadly - there were no pigs! There were no dogs, only wolves! HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU CALL THIS GOOD YOU FUCKING RETARDS!?

And that's without counting in the fact the planet is set to blow up on a regular basis, from asteroids, from super-volcanoes, from ... bah.

1 huge honking lie by a totally psycho EVIL GOD in 1 verse for TOTALLY PSYCHO EVIL GOD!

HUMANS CREATED EDEN YOU FUCKING RETARDED MORONS!

Not only that, but it was HUMANS that created humans! Homo sapiens was an ANIMAL species, mindless and incapable of thought. It wasn't until Humans MADE humans that humans were capable of thought!

WE ARE A SELF-CREATED SPECIES THAT CREATED EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD!

HUMANITY IS GOD!

And if you want to worship it, go right ahead. Only stop looking in the fucking sky when you do. And if you want to talk to god, stop fucking praying and pick up a telephone.

Why Japanese Grovel Before Judges

First, a description of the phenomenon. Someone commits a crime or misdemeanor, let's say for example they steal a bike to get home while they're drunk. In Japan, that crime will actually be investigated and solved by community policing. So the law-breaker will be dragged to the police station and there they will grovel and promise to never ever do it again. So the police get him to sign a confession and a promise he'll never do it again, he may or may not go before the judge, and then he's let off the hook completely. No sentence, no conditional sentence, no probation, just off the hook.

WHY? Are the judges and/or police naive or stupid? Far, far from it. The law-breaker has been sentenced to rehabilitation, the groveling WAS the rehabilitation, and so the sentence didn't even need to be issued before it was served and done with. And why do Japanese law officers consider groveling to be rehabilitation? And why do they consider it to be EFFECTIVE? Well, it's because Japanese are all submissives and are TAUGHT to be submissives. It's what their society targets with childrearing mode 4 as its ideal citizens.

So on the one hand, an act of abject submission indicates that the cultural indoctrination took and took well. Thus, it's not necessary (and may backfire) to treat this ideal citizen badly for a tiny little failing. Forgive and forget is better. And on the OTHER hand, they know damn well that greater than 99.5% of their citizens are submissives or passives (submissive not to individuals but to the overall will of society) so the rehabilitation is going to be successful in 995 cases out of 1000!

Japanese society isn't merely childrearing mode 4. It doesn't just target Submissive Lawful Evil in practice, it actually expects its citizens to be Submissive Lawful Neutral. Which is unrealistic but it's what it expects. That is what it ASPIRES for its citizens, that they not be Evil despite childrearing that reinforces it. In Anglo-American countries, the expectation is reversed. Society expects people to be Evil, considers Evil to be desirable even, but expects them to not be Submissive.

In both cases, you've got Sincere Backwardsness. Like George Lucas sincerely pushing the idea of monarchism in Star Wars. Or JRR Tolkien sincerely pushing anti-Industrialism. Or Robert Heinlein sincerely pushing Fascism. The difference is just that the backwardsness pushed by Anglo-American societies is EVIL whereas in Japan it's SUBMISSION.

On Specialization: Why Academic "Specialists" Are Fuckups.

There's a place for anger and frustration and every other emotion. Well, not stress, not in my life anyways. And there IS a place for fantasy.

The thing is, there is NO space for confusing planning and fantasy. You want to plan? Plan. You want to fantasize? Fantasize. But never do them simultaneously, and never mix them up, and never confuse them.

When you're planning, fantasizing is not allowed. And equally, when you're fantasizing, planning is not allowed! Mixing them up makes for pathetic fantasies and pathetic plans!

Calling on the cattle to rise up and change some law or other ... that makes for pathetic plans AND pathetic fantasies. If you're going to fantasize, start by drawing up a list of the top 10,000 people you would order to have killed. And go on from there. :)

You can't learn about the world without trying to redesign it. (Just like you can't learn to speak properly without hearing yourself). So to learn about the world you need to both plan AND fantasize. But at all times you should be aware and conscious of what you're doing.

Separation of concerns isn't just critical in planning. It's critical in all areas of life. And it's why you need to know at all times whether you're planning or fantasizing, so you can do that thing well!

The same goes for hopping from one issue to the next. You want to fix the world before finishing grieving? Fine. IF AND ONLY IF you know whether you're hopping or dodging. If you're dodging then freaking do THAT well. If you're hopping then do THAT well. And if you're overloaded emotionally or by work... then don't expect to accomplish anything at all except BEING overloaded.

If you want to do a thing, do it well. Make sure you know what you're doing and make sure you meet the preconditions for doing it well. Otherwise you're just deluded and playacting. And if you WANT to playact then sign up for theater school. And if you want to be deluded then don't hang around me because with my core value Truth I will fucking shatter your illusions.

And lastly, the exact same reasoning applies to academic specialists. And is the reason why I despise them. Because they don't specialize around learning or understanding their respective academic field. They specialize around the role of being an academic specialist. Someone who publishes within only their field, is respected by their peers and gets grants.

So they spend their entire lives never knowing what it is they're doing. Because if they did, they would be ashamed of what they do rather than being proud. You don't learn to understand chemistry by specializing on the role of a chemist, it just doesn't work. And you don't learn to make discoveries in the sciences, or inventions, or even discoveries or inventions in chemistry, by specializing on the role of a chemist. That works even less!

Academics are universally fuckups who don't understand specialization. That's why I despise their fake concept of "specialization" and their despicable "specialties" and every last academic and the whole institution of academia itself which was built on an artificial tie-in of teaching and research and sucking up to the government.

I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. I am however telling you something you forgot, perhaps because you never learned to appreciate it properly in the first place.

Why Nuclear Bombs Bring Peace To A World Of Slaves

In Social Implications of Technology I talk about how expensive technologies are tools for the rich and cheap technologies are tools for the poor. And as technologies fall in price from infinity to expensive then society regresses, then as they fall further in price to cheap then society progresses. I alluded to killing technologies but I never made a complete analysis of it.

Military technology seems to follow the same rules as all other technology. When it goes from infinite to expensive, it makes conflicts bigger (the tommy gun was two year's wages) and when it goes from expensive to cheap (the nuclear bomb) then war suddenly becomes too scary to engage in. We don't want poor people killing rich people after all, do we? Poor people killing each other only at the direction of rich people, now that's fine.

A nuclear sub with one or two dozen missiles each with a dozen warheads costs about a billion. If we assume it kills 100 million people then that's 10$ per life extinguished. An AK47 at 100-1000$ will kill how many? Hmm. But we don't have to guess. We can simply look up How Much A Nuclear Bomb Costs. So actually, nuclear weapons are pretty damn cost effective. They're cheaper than bullets assuming that you successfully kill one person per bullet!

Scary isn't it? How after you factor out emotion / childrearing mode, and pure raw techno-economics, there's pretty much absolutely nothing to human will. And you know, when you think about it, THIS MAKES SENSE! Because 99% of the human population are slaves, either submissive (90%) or passive (9%). They are such slaves that they seriously consider aggressive people to have high willpower! How fucking revolting and pathetic!

So yeah, in a world completely dominated by slaves, the ONLY thing that matters to human history is raw emotion (which coordinates the masses of slaves in language primitive enough to unite them) and the economics of the technology they have available to them. And that's it.

Don't Force Evil People To Work: Save Jobs For Non-Evil People

Imagine a world where there's 25% unemployment and all of them are Evil because Evil people have been identified and are blacklisted. Can you imagine an "anti-discrimination for Evil people" legislative package? It would be a tough sell! It might put schizophrenics in perspective as potential employees.

ore importantly, imagine what this would do to people's perception of having a job. Having a job means you're a non-evil person and it doesn't even matter how much you're paid. Oh you're a janitor? That's nice, at least you're not evil! I believe people would devalue currency and that the job itself would count as a marker of social position, a political marker effectively. Who CARES if people on welfare are paid just as much as you for doing precisely nothing? They don't have a job!

Of course, if jobs become purely voluntary and aren't paid much if anything, then all those shitty coercive things about jobs (competition, payment, dictatorship, guaranteed jobs, working with assholes) will all have to wither and be swept away. Hell, in that situation, it wouldn't even matter if paid employment collapsed and disappeared. People would still have jobs as a social activity, as something to do. They would merely be volunteer-jobs with no Evil people allowed.

Tying jobs to income and to deservingness (merit based solely on past deeds and actions) is the most corrosive and ludicrous thing imaginable. Let Evil people have an income so they're out of the way and don't cause trouble, regardless of whether or not they deserve anything. And keep the jobs for non-evil people!

Trying to force Evil people to be Good caused the collapse of the Soviet Union. Why should we be trying to force them to work? Or to do anything at all? WE DO NOT NEED EVIL PEOPLE. This isn't the fucking middle ages. All we need is to get them out of the way! Cut them a check and be done with them.

And if that isn't enough then remember that deservingness is an Evil notion propagated by Evil people. Once Evil people are all sidelined away from jobs, nobody who has a job will care whether or not jobless people "deserve" an income.

And while Good people firmly believe all Evil people should die, most of the population isn't Good. If Evil people get to live then they should have an income whether they deserve it or not, just to get them the fuck out of the way. That's what we NEED, to get them the fuck out of the way!

It's not a coincidence that giving homeless people a paid apartment and groceries is the cheapest way to deal with them by far. It's just a manifestation of the fact that Evil people always fuck things over. Toying with Evil is a stupid idea, no matter whether you call it 'fairness' or 'rehabilitation' or 'proper procedure'.

There are many societies on Earth that can't afford to just sideline Evil people. In fact, there are many societies that are so primitive they're actually overrun with Evil people! Africa comes to mind. But even America with a hefty quarter of its population being Evil can afford to sideline Evil people. And it can't afford NOT to. We can all see what a total fucking wreck actually encouraging Evil (narcissism) was for the USA.

Reserving Jobs For Humans? NO!

I can actually respect them for it. They do the stuff I don't want to do and can actually be happy doing it. You just have to get them to help humanity in their own way... Humanity obviously can't have everyone be Researcher or System Designer or few things would get done. I figure if we progress further we'll probably get less drones since people will care more about what happens.

Look, I respect that it was necessary for human beings to do all this shit. But it's not even true that I wouldn't want to do it or that I couldn't be happy doing it. So long as it was constantly varied from one week to the next, I could have been happy at it.

Job Complexes are a concept from Participatory Economics by Michael Black. PARECON should really have been implemented ... oh yeah, it already is implemented in this company called Semco SA in Brazil. And just about nowhere else in the world! Even if temporary and freelance workers sort of quality.

So you see, the workplace of today isn't identical to the hierarchical workplaces of 300 years ago because it HAS to be. Work doesn't HAVE to be mind-numbing and repetitive. The workplace is identical because a lot of the population is Lawful Evil. Because people are Fascistic arseholes.

Hell, they're so Evil they actually believe that competition HELPS over most of the planet. Despite the comprehensive book No Contest: The Case Against Competition by Alfie Kohn. I don't recommend it by the way, it won't have anything you don't already know or believe to be true. I do recommend you use it as ammunition against arseholes.

But getting back to my point! The point is that I respect that it WAS necessary. Emphasis on was. It no longer is, therefore I no longer respect them for doing jobs that are unnecessary and subjecting themselves to demeaning, dehumanizing, and hierarchical subjugation to do them.

And you need to think very carefully about this point: robots vs slaves. Because before robots and mass production came along, some people did have hygiene, and large homes, and mass communication, and publishing, and long-range communication, and books, and education and this and that.

You know who they were? The rich! Yes, there were ... you know, just read Social Implications Of Technology.

Prices have come down and things which were infinitely expensive in the past became expensive and now they're getting cheaper. And while it's generally bad for society when they go from infinitely to merely expensive, it's super-good when they go from expensive to cheap. Even killing technologies such as AK47s.

The problem for your position is that using slaves puts a floor on the price of goods. It intrinsically makes them expensive. It intrinsically makes it so that only the rich can afford them. Rich people could always afford artisanal crafts.

But for poor people to afford them required mass production and industrialization. Automation! Mass production is an intrinsically socialist idea just as artisanship and craftsmanship are intrinsically aristocratic. Same with elections being aristocratic.

Nowadays, only rich people can afford custom-designed products. And I long to see the day when AI make it so that everyone gets custom-designed stuff. I already said as much in what space colonization would really look like. Every possible opportunity will be taken, no opportunity will ever be wasted, because personalized design of everything (even your life) will guarantee it.

Hell, I'm a mental systems designer. I help design human minds. I help design human lives. I know what can be done. I know the glories that can be achieved. Read The Crimes of Ms Jean Brady for an idea of what a fairly ordinary person can achieved with a mind capable of systems design behind her.

I fucking want that. I want every person to have that. To be their own agent, to be forceful. I don't want poverty and deprivation. I don't want normal people to be slaves, or serfs, or "artisans" for the super-rich. Like the artisans employed by the Vickys (neo-Victorians) in Diamond Age. An execrable book, I recommend against it.

I want an EXPLOSION of mass-produced stuff. Even design! I want EVERYONE to be able to afford it, not just the fucking super-rich. I want to be out of a job! I want everyone else to be out of a job too! I want a genuine ludic civilization. One not where "people can be happy" but where people ARE happy.

What we have, fucking sucks. And your modest improvements to what we have ... fucking suck. Too little too late. I want infinitely more.

Totalitarian Communism Works Great!

Many people believe the problem with communism or socialism (especially the Soviet kind) is to "motivate people".

Well, not really. The biggest problem was distribution and logistics. Marxist use-value theory made no allowance for the gain in value achieved by transportation and trading. Capitalist theory of course has the exact reverse problem.

You say that collectivization disincentivized people? I retort that can't possibly have been a problem because competition ALSO disincentivizes people.

And furthermore, that Semco SA which is one of the most successful companies in the world, uses a totalitarian communist model. One that's even MORE totalitarian than Marxism. Toyota which is essentially fascist in nature, has many elements of communism too.

The big problem with the Bolshevik's version of communism, and there is no way you can possibly know that, is the coercive nature of it. And that came about not because people were forced to work or any such nonsense but because everyone was included.

You see, the big problem wasn't that everyone was guaranteed food, shelter, clothing, and a smattering of luxury items. The big problem was that everyone was guaranteed a job. Which is something YOU are trying to replicate when you imagine a Utopia.

You see jobs as bad things because the filthy capitalists have dehumanized them and tied them to money. Because they've been made compulsory and externally motivated. You idiot!

Haven't you ever heard the parable of the old man who stopped a gang of kids from hurling insults at him by first rewarding them for insulting him with money, and then reducing the amount of money from one day to the next?

Real motivation can only ever be internal. You tie jobs to money? Then you've automatically demotivated everyone. You guarantee jobs to everyone? Then you've ALSO automatically demotivated everyone!

Meaningful jobs, things to DO, are GOOD things. People fucking CRAVE them. That doesn't mean it's your fucking job to provide them! Let people fucking MAKE their own jobs!

The only thing more retarded than providing jobs to people is to provide them AND ruin them. The capitalists do this because they are fucking EVIL. The communists did this because they were GOOD. They did it out of good intentions and not knowing how human psychology works.

The problem with forced collectivization wasn't collectivization, it was with the 'forced' part of the equation. People do AWESOME work when they collectivize. When they feel part of a team, of something greater. Now you force them to work with people they despise? You just ruined their job!

If you think about it, you'll know it's true because people create coops and unions all the fucking time. But the clearest example was in the middle ages when an English king heard that the yeomanry were collectivized to deal with the law. They organized together in groups to vouch for each other you see.

Well, the king thought that was a fine idea! But what about those people whom nobody would vouch for? Let's force other people to vouch for them! And very rapidly, what had been a totally spontaneous self-organization was utterly destroyed when it turned from voluntary to compulsory.

The Bolsheviks tried to force good intentions on evil people. That's why they failed. Because evil people simply refused to do good or be good, and people came to hate being in their proximity.

You want a communist system that works? You don't have to kill evil people. You don't even have to starve them. You simply have to not cater to them.

Semco SA does that. It's totalitarian, it's communist, it's also purely voluntary. You don't want to work with a particular team? You don't have to. They don't want to work with you? They don't have to either!

The Sexual Attraction Equation

Someone asked on a mailing list I subscribe to whether sexual attraction followed a 2-dimensional model. Ugh, so so wrong! No, that isn't even close to anything real. This is the complete form of the equation for sexual attraction:

Fetishes if any + face (neurological averaging) + abstractions (core values) + body-part attraction (tits, ass, legs, arms, genitals) + overall body proportions + interaction dynamics (dominance, submission, attunement, etc) + assortative mating (non-core values).

And I'm leaving out pheromonal attraction because I don't know anything about it.

Now gender identity by comparison is MUCH simpler! It's just core values + non-core values!

Of course, what people are actually interested in is the dimensional decomposition of the solutions to these equations. Well, I will simple them up for you to understand: that whole male vs female attraction shite is oversimplified crap spoonfed to simple-minded idiots.

See, the way it works is that sexual arousal is semantically content-free. It has no meaning! You're not attracted to ANYTHING, at all. Except maybe "people". Or if you have fetishes then the fetish in question. Otherwise, it's just things that turn you off. Or things you're conceptually attracted to. Oh and beauty but beauty is just neurological averaging and is essentially non-sexual.

And things like core values and non-core values? They are *too complicated for idiots to understand*!

Finally, to answer whether sexual attraction is a choice, when the sexual attraction equation returns negative numbers for the entirety of one gender, then that person is exclusively attracted to the other gender. When it returns negatives for both genders then they're asexual. And when it returns some positives in both? Well in that case, take a good look at the above equation and realize how fucking retarded your question is.

Engineers Boast Of Creating Mind Control Technology

Take a good look at this creepy ass story of imbecilic morons playing Doctor Frankenstein for no reason whatsoever.

Now, before you get on my case, I know full well that the ultimate application of this technology is brain-downloading of human brains. And they're doing it this way in order to verify that their brain interface is correct, reliable and portable. I fucking KNOW this. I am ALL FOR IT.

But that's not what these scum fucking scum fuckers are SAYING, is it?! What they're saying is just utterly fucking REPULSIVE! Organic computers!? WHAT. the. FUCK?!

If you want neuromorphic computers, Hewlett Packard is working on memristors to produce just that. And they will ultimately be FAR cheaper, and FAR more reliable! And far more powerful and far faster!

But no, these scum sucking fuckers are going the BIO route. Why? Bio bio bio bio! Like saying fucking "magic". Magic makes it better! Bio's better! These scum fuckers are trumpeting an INFERIOR and OBSOLETE technology! A REPULSIVE inferior and obsolete technology. A creepy and freakish technology. WHAT. THE. FUCK?!

It almost looks like they're deliberately un-selling their technology. Pitching it in such a way so as to deliberately turn off or repulse their audience and market. Almost! But the TRUTH is these are the same kinds of worthless scum that work on nuclear weapons and LANDMINES. And BIOWEAPONS!

And so here they are trumpeting for all the world: look we've got a better landmine! Look we've got bioweapons! Look we've got MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY!

Fucking engineers. That's what this is. Fucking engineers. Engineers incapable of synthesis, thus incapable of JUDGEMENT. Incapable of ethics or morality except as some stupid list of rules saying THOU SHALT and THOU SHALT NOT. And because nobody TOLD them "thou shalt not make mind control technology" they think it's GREAT.

No fucking judgement. Fucking engineers!

Nuclear Power Should Never Be A Popular Issue

You know, I'm not just well-read on nuclear issues, I'm also reasonably well-read on anti-nuclear activists.

So I can tell you that when anti-nuclear activists in Canada categorized the Canadian government's financing the construction of nuclear power plants in China as a multi-billion dollar "subsidy" instead of a LOAN to be paid back with interest ... that was entirely typical of anti-nuclear activists everywhere in the world.

How can that possibly be? Well, it's because the nuclear industry is one of a few major industry (eg, semiconductors), that is a genuinely modern industry. It could not possibly have existed in the past because no part of it is comprehensible to a non-analytic. EVERY part of it is HUGELY complex. Every ASPECT of it is hugely complex. There is nothing about it that is simple.

There is absolutely nothing about the nuclear industry that your typically mentally retarded zealot is even remotely capable of comprehending or understanding. Not one thing. And that is why everything which spews out of anti-nuclear advocates is a lie, a misdirection, or a misrepresentation of some kind. Without exception.

In fact, not even the 'iconic imagery' of nuclear power plants is accurate. Not even something as simple as that. Every journalist who wants to pass off a picture of a nuclear power plant looks for cooling towers. Only, coal plants have cooling towers too. Most power plants do. What identifies nuclear power plants are the containment buildings with their domes.

Non-analytics and non-experts in the field literally couldn't get a single thing right.

Did you know that the steel pipes in a nuclear power plant, the ones that transmit high pressure high temperature steam, aren't even steel? :D They're metal and they're an alloy, but they're not principally made out of iron. They're made out of nickel - hasteloy. Or the cheap ones are just internally lined with hasteloy but you can't exactly dismiss the lining as unimportant because it's what makes the pipes work. Even something that simple. And it's so across the board.

Nuclear power should NEVER be a popular issue because the vast majority of the population is totally incapable of understanding or comprehending any aspect or component of its operation. Nuclear power is one of those wondrous areas where human civilization has completely outstripped its pathetic magical-thinking forebears. It probably won't surprise you to find out that the French nuclear union is explicitly communist.

Come to think of it, that's WHY zealots hate nuclear power so much. Because literally no part of it is comprehensible to them. Because it's a monument to their idiocy.
