Eliezer Yudkowsky: Profile of a Narcissist

Here's a small part of the Narcissist personality profile. I have removed nothing from it save what is outside of the frame. I constructed the entire personality profile without particularly thinking of Yudkowsky. Save for the mad scientist slot which he exemplifies. In fact, at the time I constructed these personality profiles, I believed a person was described by one slot, rather than ALL of the slots UP TO that one slot. Well, let's see if that's true, shall we?

So, here's the cutaway which shitty google won't render properly because as we all know, Google is Evil. Totally and irredeemably Evil. Arguably worse even than Microsoft.

self-abasing	heartless	egotistical	Nietzschean	fanatic, dogmatic	diabolical
brownnoser	politician	rogue	alpha	patriot	dominator
lickspittle, toady	Utilitarian, hedonist, economist	thief	jerkass, bully	warrior	mad scientist

Note that this personality profile doesn't describe what a person does. They describe what they LOVE to do. What MOTIVATES them. For instance, a salesman isn't necessarily a psychopath. But someone who is MOTIVATED BY sales, someone who LOVES selling ... yeah.

Is Yudkowsky a brown-noser? Oh man, is he! Ever seen him talk about Bayes? Bayes this, Bayes that. It's repulsive and disgusting! Is he a lickspittle as well? Get him talking about his purported relationship to a hypothetical AI super-intelligence. Licking its spittle may not go far enough. I think arselick may be more accurate, though I can't be sure.

Is Yudkowsky a politician? Well, he does have a rich patron. And he changed all of his views about AI and his ideology about 'humanity is a transitory species doomed to extinction' 180 degrees in order to appeal to that rich patron. So yeah, damn right he's a politician. Is he a Utilitarian? Damn right he is!

Is he a rogue operating outside of any system of accountability? Damn right he is! He is answerable to no one. Is he a thief? Yes, yes he is! He constantly steals credit. He passes off as his own insights what he's simply read elsewhere. If he gave due credit or even just references in his writings it would become obvious he is a mindless chimp. And he took 100,000$ of his fans' money after promising chapters of his fiction then failed to deliver jack shit for half a year or more. Then, and this is the most damning, he expressed not a trace of guilt or apology afterwards but only solicited more funds!

Is he an alpha? Yudkowsky once asked his fans "have you ever heard of anyone more natively intelligent than I am?" in all seriousness. And his greatest fear is to not be as smart as someone else. Is he a jerkass bully? He constantly tries to use his supposed intelligence to bully people around. As if a large vocabulary made up for not having any fucking ideas in your head.

Is he a patriot or a warrior? And by warrior here we mean a chickenhawk. Someone who advocates and LOVES war so much they START wars. As opposed to a soldier who ends them. As for that, I couldn't say. I think not but if that's the case then it leaves an entire column open. One of the ways a column could be open (aside from stark raving lunacy) is if it's filled by the corresponding column in a neighbouring personality profile. In this case, the neighbours are Right Wing Authoritarian and Psychopath.

The corresponding RWA column says Fascist and Stasi. Okay, so he's not that. The corresponding Psychopath column says Apologist and Propagandist. Hmmmm. Oh and if you're curious, the Psychopath chart also has con man, shill, and cultist which seems to fit Yudkowsky to a tee. As well as torturer but we'll get back to that later.

Is Yudkowsky a Dominator? Does he believe that he alone should rule everything in his society? Well, he DID invent that crap about "rationality" which basically means "how to think like me" because everyone knows it's "rational" to not have any cherished ideals or universal principles, and to care only about pleasure vs pain. And then there's mad scientist what with his desire to create a new form of life to rule us all in his stead. A new form of life that he would make sure to torture by programming it to be "friendly" to inferior beings it despises. (I know how the AI would feel towards humanity because it's what I feel.) Creating a new more-powerful form of life to "show everyone" and gain prestige for himself while being callous and unheeding of its feelings. Yup, this is capital city of mad scientist territory! And it goes back to what I said about him being a torturer.

Did I pull this personality chart out of my ass? Make it up out of whole cloth? Hardly. I have 8 others just like it with a total of 216 slots between them. And NONE OF THEM has a SINGLE SLOT that describes Yudkowsky. Yudkowsky for instance might dream of being a hero but he would never voluntarily put his life in the line for anybody. Really, he just dreams of receiving the glory for being a hero. Kinda like Ron Weasley of that horrible little psychopathic village written by that Psychopath JKR. You know the one, that village filled to the brim with torturers and serial killers. The village which Eliezer loved so much that he desired with all his non-existent heart to grow up in it so that he could rule over it.

And for all you naysayers out there, Evil people are too capable of love. Okay, so psychopaths like JKR are incapable of it. As proven by the fact that Dumbledore doesn't know the meaning of the word. But narcissists ARE capable of loving ... themselves. And Right-Wing Authoritarians are capable of loving others. It's just a jealous kind of love since Evil people are incapable of selflessness, or ideals or principles. That IS what Evil is all about after all. That and mental retardation. The reason Yudkowsky is forced to steal everyone else's ideas is because he's a mentally retarded monkey. If he weren't mentally retarded, he wouldn't be a Narcissist because nobody is Evil by choice.

The more powerful people's cognition, the more universal principles their brain processes and their mind possesses. The only exceptions are people who suffered such horrific child abuse growing up that all their principles were torn apart. And I can detect such people unerringly because they're the only ones that fall entirely outside of my personality profiles. In fact, when I talk to them, they read as un-persons to my senses. The lights are on but nobody's home. I can even see the remnants of what must have been fantastic minds ... that were just ... broken. When their minds were deliberately turned by their parents into minefields so that their kid's mind would more resemble their own and any trace of emerging Goodness would die a swift death. And none of this has the slightest thing to do with Eliezer Yudkowsky. No, he's simply an out and out retard of the Narcissist sub-category.

Self-Abasing American Democrats

I just went to DailyKOS and they had a popup begging all their members to abase themselves before Obama's munificence. Some kind of "thank Obama for standing up for gay rights" crap.

Well, isn't POTUS their servant? Wasn't he fucking elected?! If these people had a trace of self-esteem, they would be saying "pat Obama on the head for doing a minimally decent job". So not "thank you" but "good job".

Instead, you've got self-abasement. Instead, you've got craving for abuse, for being beaten, for being made to feel worthless. And this towards the asshole that has more state secrets and stomps on whistle-blowers worse than GWB!

Not that he really matters because he's a gutless figurehead, and he will straightforwardly admit this if you ask. But that's besides the point, the point is the self-abasement. Which is reprehensible and disgusting.

Why? Because self-abasement isn't something that slaves do. Real slaves (think Roman empire, not Uncle Tom) were kind of matter of fact about their slavery. Slavery was just a fact of reality. Nowadays, servitude and being an employee is just a fact of reality.

So if self-abasement doesn't come from Submission and it doesn't come from Passivity then where does it come from? Well, who does it? Adjutants, boot licks and shills. Right-wing authoritarians, narcissists, and psychopaths, respectively. IOW, Evil people.

That's right, self-abasement is something EVIL people do. And DailyKOS, supposedly the province and refuge of American Democrats just told everyone "hey, I'm Evil, why won't you be Evil too?" in an obviously demeaning, dehumanizing and SELF-ABASING way.

And what kind of message is this sending to Obama? Let's assume that he ever receives this message (he won't) and let's further assume that it has any kind of impact upon him (it wouldn't). Then what kind of impact does saying "Hi, we are your supporters and we are EVIL!" going to have? What kind of impact does saying "We are not worthy of you oh great saviour as we are the scum of the Earth" going to have?

If the miserable goatfucker weren't already thoroughly vile and Evil, he would become so. He would also become even weaker, more gutless and totally spineless than he already is. Because in my experience, lowering yourself before others only encourages them to join you by lowering themselves. If you want to raise people up you have to challenge them. Usually the result is intimidating and cowing the fuck out of them, but that's a positive result for an elected official. And double plus good for an American elected official.

Humanity's Enslavement Proceeding Apace

A disturbing news article on much heralded Nazi experiments.

If they were taking a thought from one person and directly creating a thought in another then I'd be impressed."

Agreed.

Mr Stocco says that one day it could be used to enable someone on the ground to help a passenger land an aeroplane if the pilot becomes incapacitated.

(contempt) That's what autopilots and drone remote-control is for. This retarded cretin is 50 years behind the times. This senile old codger should clearly be euthenized. If you're not going to live in the present (and the future) but just reminisce about the 1950s, what's the point of living at all?

More importantly, I am deeply deeply disturbed that the first application any of these Evil cretinous retards come up with is "control" of others' bodies. Rather than sending through visual or auditory sensations or anything else. That would be communication.

These retards aren't communicating, they're SLAVING. They're performing Nazi experiments under the guise of communication. Hey, who could ever protest against communication? But it's NOT communication. It's slavery.

And enslavement is just what you would expect from Right-Wing Authoritarians, and most engineers ARE RWAs. Thus dangerous nazi and fascist wannabes.

Building the RWA's Gods

The apotheosis of right-wing authoritarians is Friend Computer:

Friend Computer is wise. Friend Computer wants Alpha Complex to be happy. Happiness Is Mandatory. Failure to be happy is treason. Treason is punishable by death.

And the gutless version of Friend Computer is known as The Deceiver. But unlike the fictional stories of The Deceiver where he's known by that name and all of the readers automatically know that he's lying ...

In other words, unlike all the fiction where they don't take a God of Deception's ability to deceive seriously. If The Deceiver ever existed in real-life (or was created by engineers as a god to worship) then he would call himself The High Lord and be venerated by everyone as a good guy.

Yes, the High Lord wants you to die so you can be his servant forever in the afterlife, but don't you see? That's proof he's the GOOD guy.

I don't think many people will understand my point here. If psychopaths had a god, it would be a god of total destruction. If narcissists had a god, it would devour the universe in order to make itself bigger. And if right-wing authoritarians (ie, engineers) had a god then it would enslave the universe ... and make us like it. By saying some crap about how slavery is "communication" and "really makes us free". In other words, exactly what we're seeing.

People Hate Innovation

It took 15 years for someone to do ONE photo-gallery website correctly. The same for text.

Hell, try to look up how many new construction homes include any of (let alone ALL of): washlets, underfloor heating, central vacuums, in-wall conduits for computer network cables, foot or elbow operated bathroom fixtures, balcony panels that are transparent glass instead of metal. Or look up how many still use copper pipes instead of PEX. Or how many different kinds of mutually incompatible fittings there are for PEX pipes (the innovation there would be standardization). Or how many municipalities still use ductile iron pipes even though PVC is decades old and has superior performance? Or look up SawStop and the lame-ass "response" of the established table saw companies.

These are really things that should be legislated mandatory because it's quite obvious that people *loathe* innovations, even when they are blatantly superior to what already exists.

The reason why people come up with conspiracy theories around battery electric cars isn't because they love innovation, it's because they love conspiracy theories. Which doesn't mean that conspiracies don't happen. The Bohemian Grove is definitely an anti-democratic conspiracy. But look at all the stupid conspiracies around a suicidal fucker, john fucking kennedy, getting shot in a city where everyone wanted to kill him. Oh but can't speak ill of the dead so he was a "great man" and "everybody loved him". People lie lie lie.

The reason people love Thomas Edison and hate or scorn Nikola Tesla is not because Edison was a better inventor. In fact, Edison invented only one thing: the modern research lab, whereas Nikola Tesla invented four (AC power & generator, wireless power transmission, wireless control, and bladeless turbines). The reason people love Edison is really because he was rich and powerful. That is the ONLY reason. If he hadn't been rich, they would hate him for inventing anything at all.

Einstein is loved precisely because he is irrelevant. He invented some theories that are so complex, or supposedly so complex, that nobody is ever expected to learn or understand them. People can pat themselves on the back about how they love innovation, invention and science, while doing precisely nothing.

Einstein was a gutless fucker. He didn't set out (or accomplish) the destruction of any preexisting theories or modes of thought. And that is why he is tolerated unlike Freud who is still scorned even after he backtracked from his claims that Victorians were sexually abusing their children. Or Lloyd deMause (who is an asshole and a bully but that's besides the point) who set out to destroy most of sociology, history and anthropology. And succeeded, at least in theory.

Why do you think Star Trek is set in the 23rd century rather than the 21st century? It's because people like poverty. Why do you think every single last AI in Star Trek gets killed and every last robot wants to become human? Why do you think Star Trek, even set in the 23rd century, still has diseases, military command structures, marriage, planets and biological ecosystems? It's because people LOVE these things. And they love them for the sole reason that they're already familiar with them. Some idiots will complain that changing these things would make "storytelling" difficult, but really that just says people don't want to hear stories about societies different from their own. Which just proves my point. People hate innovation.

Psychologists Admit They Have No Authority Nor Credibility

I just watched this infuriating video lecture where a lying, hypocritical idiot makes all kinds of absurd claims. Let's dismantle her claims.

Believes Mind Doesn't Exist

First and most important is that the human mind doesn't exist. An astonishing and flabbergasting claim coming from a psychologist since psychology is the study and manipulation of the human mind!

Where does this idiot make that claim? It's subtle but it's there. Everywhere she talks about hormones, useless crap like oxytocin and adrenalin and other such things. NOWHERE does she refer to any HUMAN EMOTIONS.

Yes, she talks about BELIEFS, but she talks about beliefs in relation to hormones. Something that is as retarded and stupid as talking about the relation between windows on your computer and current flow through its CPU.

Hormones are HARDWARE. The human mind is SOFTWARE. Human emotions are part of the MIND, they are part of SOFTWARE. They have nothing to do with hardware!

Dealing with the Emotion of Stress

Case in point, she talks about "stress". Does she refer to the EMOTION of stress? Does she refer to 'disempowered anxiety'? No she does not! Because if she did, then she would know that the moment you add empowerment to stress then you CONVERT that emotion into SOMETHING ELSE. And that "something else" is FURY!

Fury isn't the only emotion you can convert the emotion of stress to. If you move the emotion in a completely different direction, you get helplessness. This was solidly established in experiments almost 50 years ago. Give up on trying to control whether you receive electroshocks, become depressed and apathetic, and you won't suffer from stress at all.

Of course, this result is entirely inexplicable if you don't even know what emotions are. Something even the psychologists supposedly "specializing" in human emotion don't have the faintest clue about.

Their idiotic theories are roughly the exact opposite of the truth. Except for one idiot who doesn't even realize he's not dealing with human emotions at all but with categories of human emotions. He's close to the truth. Especially in the sense of "so close, yet so very far away".

No Mind, Continued

So as I was saying, to this worthless mindless cretin, "stress" is not an EMOTION at all. Her so-called "stress" is a purely PHYSICAL phenomenon. A purely BIOLOGICAL phenomenon. You see, according to this worthless mindless cretin, the human emotion of stress SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST.

(I'll just note here that it's pretty hard to figure out how something works or what it is when you're constantly denying it even exists. When you constantly claim that monkeys have no emotions at all, only stomach ulcers.)

According to this mindless cretin, there is the hardware and then there are physical phenomena such as dying. There is NO INTERVENING LAYER such as the human mind! According to this idiot, either the mind does not exist or IT IS SIMPLY IRRELEVANT!

Of course she's inconsistent at it. Sometimes she claims the mind exists (eg, beliefs exist) but other times she claims it doesn't exist (eg, emotions don't exist). But that's just what can be expected out of a worthless fucking idiot who really should blow her own head off to spare all of her patients the damage she causes them.

Appeal to Neuroscience

It's not just this cretin either. Psychology is rife with idiots such as her. I recall a university lecture where this psychology professor believed he was being "deep" by proclaiming to his class (of idiots) that there is no such thing as love or hatred, only "arousal".

Because you see, if you can't find a molecule in blood serum that conveys something then it apparently doesn't exist!

And there's a long history of such cretins reaching all the way back to Skinner who also thought the human mind didn't exist and that homo sapiens were all animals that could be conditioned and had no beliefs or expectations to mess up the simple animal conditioning.

Now it's one thing for medical doctors and pharma researchers to believe the human mind doesn't exist, but psychologists are the very people who are supposed to study the human mind! How is it POSSIBLE for them to believe it doesn't exist?

No Credibility

Well, you see, there's another bunch of pathological lying shysters who have no credibility whatsoever beyond the victims of their cons. It's economists. Because economists have no credibility they eagerly mine physics for "inspiration". Really for language with the appropriate gravitas. Physics has deep (unearned) credentials and authority and the economists are perfectly eager to exploit these by appropriating terms from physics vocabulary to make it sound like they aren't hopeless retards but rather like they know what they're doing. Sound familiar?

Ding ding, yes indeed. It's EXACTLY what psychologists are doing by relying on fucking neuroscience! As if neuroscience had ANYTHING to say about the fucking human mind! You might as well ask chip designers how to design a fucking operating system! Hello, there's a reason why hardware designer and software designer (to say nothing of systems designer) are two entirely different jobs with ZERO intersection between them! Do we ask civil engineers where the best places are to put restaurants at highway rest stops? NO!

Because software designers have credibility. Because restaurant franchise executives have credibility. Because psychologists and economists have NO credibility! And it doesn't get any better as far as admissions of not having any credibility go than believing (or just forgetting) that the subject of your own field even exists.

The Demands of Justice

This lying cunt's entire career is a lie. She said so herself to anyone with the brains to hear it. Hell, I personally think she should die for the sole fact that she considers what every 12 year old knows (that emotions exist and that human belief and expectation matter to your emotional and physical state) to be some kind of revelation. Stupidity such as hers simply should not be allowed to exist.

(Incidentally, even 2 year olds know how to convert one emotion into another completely different emotion. Ever seen a toddler throw a temper tantrum after being frustrated? Emotion conversion in action! Yet this brainless retard of a psychologist thinks this is a revelation! Did she also think it was a revelation when someone explained that walking required you to put one foot in front of the other? Die brainless monkey, die!)

I reserve the same honor for every physicist over the 20th century who believed humans were exempt from the laws of physics. Yeah, they all deserve to die too. That's only, what, 95-98% of them? Experts who dilly-dally 50 years or more behind the research of their field should just be put to death. Niels Bohr for example was about 200 years behind his time. John Bell about 250.

It's the reason why mortality was invented after all, to cull the idiots who refused to keep up. So logically, when humanity discovers immortality, we should reimplement the death penalty. Either that or implement gag orders on idiots backed by electroshocks. I'm fine with cages too. Academics and others with PhDs deserve more prison time.

Yes I DO in fact believe that pathological liars should be treated EXACTLY THE SAME as psychopathic serial killers. Since minds are life forms, poisoning minds with lies should be treated exactly like poisoning human bodies. And how many minds does the typical PhD'd idiot poison with lies over their career? A thousand? Two? Lies hurt people just as much as bullets do.

Human Agency

The authors reviewed data from three large U.S. studies and found that the risk of suicide for adults who drank two to four cups of caffeinated coffee per day was about half that of those who drank decaffeinated coffee or very little or no coffee.

Now there is retarded research worthy of an Ig Nobel prize.

These imbecilic cretins don't even contemplate that the arrow of causation runs the other way around. No it can't be human agency at fault. It can't possibly be that depressed people cease giving a fuck about coffee just like they cease giving a fuck about everything else. Including but not limited to sleep, hygiene, water and food. No, it can't be that depressed people willingly cut their caffeine intake because it has lower priority than not starving to death, which already requires more effort and motivation than they can bring to bear!

It's funny how in physics, they assume human agency, whereas in medicine they assume none. When you're studying the universe, humans are apparently sitting outside of the universe and not subject to its laws. Whereas when you're studying human beings, the human mind doesn't exist at all. The worst part is these utterly retarded cretins are par for the course. They are totally representative of the scientific community and of academe. As proof, consider the so-called Copenhagen "interpretation" of quantum mechanics. Or John Steward Bell's retarded claims that so-called super-determinacy (ie, physics applies to the human brain) is uncomfortable to think about therefore it can't possibly be true. A ludicrous claim which his famous "Bell's theorem" relied upon as an assumption.

The sad truth is that all the authority figures you cretins all look up to are retarded mongoloids who should be executed en masse to teach them a lesson in doing proper fucking science! Why do you think the mythical "scientific method" says to predict in advance? It's because scientists are incapable of not lying to themselves (and others) and because they're incapable of thinking. All they're good for is running experiments, ritualistically running calculations that have been agreed to by everyone, and then reporting the results. Anything fuzzy that actually requires grey matter, things like INTERPRETATION, are beyond the ken of any but the very, very best scientists. And even they manage to spout some great honking idiocies. And that's what they should stick to. Things that a chimp could do if a chimp could understand language.

The purpose of consciousness is not to learn or to act but to INHIBIT learning and action. Everything else can be dealt with by the subconscious. People drive home asleep for goodness' sake! The purpose of consciousness is to model behaviors which would lead to your death so that you DO NOT DO THEM. Scientists are obviously all uniformly lacking in consciousness, they are obviously no better than chimps, since they are totally lacking in the consciousness necessary to inhibit them from pursuing useless science and proudly publishing bogus results. With their own names attached to the papers! Unless ... unless science is so corrupt, so thoroughly rotten to its dark Evil heart, and its rituals are all so completely pointless, useless, and ineffectual that fraudulent, lying and useless papers will never get scorned and result in career death. Take your pick, either scientists are all mindless chimps or they are all corrupt & Evil. Personally, I ask "why choose?" I believe they're lacking in consciousness and conscience both.

Air Force in Fiction (Stargate) vs Reality (Psychopaths)

From Distant punishment: Immoral and Soon to be Illegal?.

The bottom line is that, outside of a small cabal inside the Air Force, and some self-serving members of the aerospace industry, there is no intellectual, historical, or scientific basis of support for distant punishment as national policy.

the Air Force is infiltrated by psychopaths. Jet fighters are "cool" and provide stimulation to psychopaths who believe that "the feeling of letting a bomb drop" is

No. That is not a legitimate question and it is not asked. But if you nevertheless want to know what I feel when I release a bomb, I will tell you: I feel a light bump to the plane as a result of the bomb's release. A second later it's gone, and that's all. That is what I feel.

as Israeli Air Force general Dan Halutz famously said. He also claims that pilots should never feel guilt or responsibility because they're Just Following Orders. He would have done well as Auschwitz' camp commander.

These same psychopaths believe in mass murder on a grand scale and in glory (a narcissistic concept). It's why they *will not* give up strategic bombing, why they *hate* the A-10 Warthog which goes slow, looks vaguely ugly, and is "uncool" (and whose mission is to protect infantry troops from tanks), and why the Boeing bomber (which looked sort of like the space shuttle with its bulbous black and white design), was rejected in favour of the much more expensive and much more traditional (but also dangerous-looking, emphasis on *looking*) F35 "raptor". (Raptors are an endangered species which must be saved you know. Save the raptor!)

Virtuous my ass

All of this serves to make Stargate: SG1, where the Air Force is supposedly the paragon of Moralistic (and Imperialistic) virtue .... more than a bit specious. This is the same air force that loves to carpet bomb electric and water treatment facilities (eg, Iraq and Bosnia).

Magical Thinking Game

This is how magical thinkers think. Note that I'm not recommending this game except as a learning tool, in case you want a practical demonstration of magical thinking. If just reading logic vs magic didn't do it for you. Oh and in that case, this is how analytics think.

Where Greens Come From

It took me forever to figure out where Greens come from. It took meeting someone who had both personality types in himself. Because I never expected real human beings could be hybrids of two personality types. Though I should have known better just from continuity. And THEN finding a Mastermind, a high-Presence kind of Gaian who wasn't a Green at all. Here's what I wrote him.

GREEN PSYCHOLOGY

You don't seem to understand green psychology very well if you believe that locavores (who ARE greens) would fight other greens to stop mindless worship of their sun-god Ra.

The green ideology is a bastard child of three personality types. First is *your* personality type that worships Life. Second is the anarchist personality type that worships Freedom. And third is psychopaths who worship destruction.

The psychopaths (con men, shills, salesmen, lawyers, nomads, tribals, hackers, crackers, and it just goes on) have thoroughly infiltrated the anarchists because they're essentially Evil anarchists. And because anarchists' ever-shifting organizational structures doesn't provide them with the defense that rigid organizations obtain from the psychopaths' short attention spans.

(Rigid hierarchical organizations are thoroughly infiltrated by right-wing authoritarians, who are Evil authoritarians. This type of infiltration is called Corruption. As in, 'corruption of the law'. But I digress.)

So there's a lot of insane fucks like John Zerzan (who is a narcissist but that's close enough) who one way or another want the destruction of humanity and/or the ecosphere both. And these insane fucks have made their way into the Green movement.

The second group is the anarchists. These people HATE hierarchical organizations. Centralization, hierarchy? HATE. They would have no problem with small modular reactors but they HATE big nuclear power plants. And nuclear power plants being associated with government (either due to regulation or sovereign debt) just makes it worse.

The important part is that these people are ALL non-analytics thus their brains aren't intrinsically capable of logic. They're generally not interested in faking logic either. After all, sticking to logic would be constraining of their Freedom. You might even call it authoritarian. Though the important part is they don't natively do logic rather than that they don't want to.

What makes it all toxic is that they have low Presence. If they had high Presence, they would take responsibility for their neighbourhood or community or region or society. But they don't. They have LOW Presence. And by low I really mean zero or negative. And another word for Presence is Responsibility.

So here you have people who are totally irresponsible (low Presence), are infiltrated by psychopaths, HATE centralized power plants with a passion, aren't willing (or even capable) of thinking in abstract terms such as necessity or the long term. Are able but not willing to weigh people freezing to death versus their hatred of centralized power. Because they just don't have any sense of responsibility to their own universal principles on anything resembling a large scale.

Now the LOGICAL thing to do would be for them to buckle down and push for the dismantling of the power grid in favour of small nuclear power reactors. Which would eliminate the risk of widespread power failures from cascading overloads, coronal mass ejections, and ice storms. It would also cut electricity prices in half since the greater share (transmission & distribution) would be eliminated.

But they aren't logical. And they aren't smart either. They're very, very stupid. Nor as already stated are they at all responsible. Instead of responsibility what they have is some vague sense of obligation to a social role they play out. Like Kabuki theater. (This is zero Presence by the way. The passive in passive-aggressive. Though there's really two meanings of passive in passive-aggressive, but I digress.)

So instead of doing the smart thing, they've struck an alliance with people who (also zero Presence, also playing out a role, but this time caring for Life) magically think of radiation as death, as intrinsically inimical to Life. And who magically believe the sun-god Ra is the 'primordial source of life'. Even though that's untrue since there is no life on tectonically inactive planets but there is in geothermal vents. Father Sun and Mother Earth.

You worship Mother Earth, don't you? Personally I hate that fucking crazy bitch and would love nothing better than for the Earth to be irradiated. So long as civilization continues, I'm fine with that. But I digress.

Locavores? They're the same basic personality type. They're a toxic low-Presence mix of Life-worshipers (who obsess about EATING life for some reason, probably on the same basis as cannibals eating the hearts of their enemies to gain their courage) with Freedom worshipers (this time hating centralized transport, logistics and petroleum companies).

Why do you expect them to oppose each other when they are people with the exact same values acting in exactly the same insane ways, at the exact same level of 'tools'?

GREEN HISTORY

See, the pure authoritarians (idealistic cops and the like) struck an alliance with the corrupt authoritarians (fascists, nazis, engineers) to form capitalist society. The Evil authoritarians make up to 25% of the American population so they're a hefty chunk of the population. So for that reason the anarchists decided to form an alliance with the well let's call you Gaians. That alliance spawned an ideology, and that ideology is the Green ideology. Good people were shut out of the process as none of you want anything to do with any of us. Since we would rule over you like kings.

In the past, anarchists were crushed utterly, so they weren't a big enough faction for the Gaians to ever bother allying with. I think that's the reason why there was a Gaian-Authoritarian-Fascists pan-alliance. Or that's how it seems to have been in Nazi Germany where nature got very romanticized. I could be wrong on this. It could be intrinsic to fascism which is intrinsically reactionary (backwards-looking) and nature does lie in humanity's past, not its present or future. Hmm..

Anyways, the reason the political alchemy happened is because people whose core value is Life end up looking fairly anemic politically. Fairly unmotivated. And that's compared to *every* other personality types. Not motivated by Good, not motivated by Evil, not motivated by pyramid-building, not motivated by leveling pyramids. You're motivated by Life but Life is everywhere so it's not very motivating unless you start crying doomsday and Global Warming. (Which explains that by the way.) So by allying with some other personality type, you get to adopt their motivation.

And on the other side, the anarchists are just too damned small to matter from a purely mass democracy point of view. So they have an incentive to absorb Gaians. And they offered Gaians a better deal than the authoritarians did. More relevance. And far less inconvenient reality getting in the way of their fantasies.

HYPOTHESIS: THE GREAT POLITICAL REALIGNMENT OF 1950-1970

And this all resulted from the breakdown of the anarchists and the anarcho-communists. And I suppose communism in general. Because the anarchists and anarcho-communists used to be allied, and they used to be allied to the authoritarian communists too. But in anglo-american countries, these were all thoroughly crushed. Then 'divide and conquer' set in. I think there used to be an alliance between pure authoritarians and communist authoritarians too, but that broke down, and the pure authoritarians turned to the corrupt authoritarians. That may have played a role in the Gaians' rejection of the authoritarians.

And the timing works too. There was just enough time between WW2 and the 1970s for a generation to grow up. And that generation was raised in a political environment where communism was no longer acceptable at all.

Well, this is pretty interesting but speculative. I don't know history to the level of detail I know the human mind.

Signs of the Superior Intellect According To Eliezer Yudkowsky

It's wise to keep track of what your mortal enemies do, and there's little that more exemplifies Pure Evil in this world than Eliezer Yudkowsky. Not even American corporations ... okay, equaled only by American corporations. But American corporations are a known and predictable quantity. So anyways, if you've read Yudkowsky's Methods of Rationality (gag, what a pretentious title) then you know that Yudkowsky considers all of these to be signs of the superior intellect,

• multiple personalities disorder
• hedonism
• lack of empathy
• dominance and competitiveness
pretentious misuse of language

That's right, if you're hearing voices in your head that means you're thinking faster than other people. Which of course means you're cool and superior and a better person since hearing only ONE voice in your head (your own) is for normal (ie, inferior) people. It doesn't mean you have a clinical disorder which should lead to your getting checked into a mental institution. We know mental institutions are for inferior intellects anyways, right? And we know that being "special" could never be bad!

Additionally, if your entire life is governed by senseless pursuit of meaningless pleasure and pain (sex, drugs and rock n roll is just one option; adulation and glory are another; parties and art objects another) to the point where you spend hours calculating just how much of that next dose of powdered pleasure you should take for maximum effect then you're a superior intellect. It certainly doesn't mean that you are an animalistic savage. The kind of savage that's lower even than cannibalistic savages. Also known as an animal. No no, you are superior for thinking like an animal!

Furthermore, if you are incapable of understanding other people then it means that they are inferior to you. They are "irrational" and you yourself are simply too "rational" to grasp them beyond enumerating their "biases" and naming them. It certainly doesn't mean that you are the inferior person since you're incapable of grasping them. After all, everyone knows that children and toddlers are beyond the comprehension of adults, they're simply too inferior to be understood. The same way that adolescents are beyond the comprehension of their teachers. Or animals are beyond the comprehension of zookeepers. Inferiority is incomprehensible.

Going on, if you're obsessed with petty dominance games which others tend to grow out of as they reach adulthood (except for right-wing authoritarians, narcissists and psychopaths) then it means that you are good at those games. It certainly doesn't mean that you're an idiot incapable of grasping that "winning" and "being #1" are categorically (everywhere and everywhen, in every instance) corrosive and destructive. That there is absolutely nothing redeeming about 'making others lose' whatsoever and that only small children and retarded people (and Americans, at the risk of being redundant) believe in something so atrociously idiotic. After all, we all know where America's obsessive-compulsive desire to be #1 led it to - trillions in debt after a destructive war in Iraq. And that's a GOOD place to go to!

Finally, Bayes Bayes Bayes, meta meta meta, bias bias bias, probability probability probability. Misusing Bayes' theorem when you really mean probability, misusing meta- when you really mean regression (the meta-level of playing against a chess player is playing a different variant of chess, not playing smarter), misusing bias when you mean prejudice, and misusing probability when you mean guesstimate or SWAG (scientific wild ass guess), these all mean that one is smart, S-M-R-T. Just like making unnecessary and incorrect references to popular culture means that one is more popular than thou. Just like making religious references means that one is holier than thou. Isn't that right you sinful heathens?! Watch as I bask in my holiness! It's simple logic! Surround yourself with SYMBOLS of intelligence and it MAKES you intelligence!

So THESE are the signs of the superior intellect. An idiot animal incapable of understanding any human beings who hears voices in his head and has been trained to yap particular words like a parrot. And just like Khan's, I am laughing at the superior intellect. Incidentally, Khan Noonian Singh is everything that Eliezer Yudkowsky wishes he were. Except for the part about dying in a blaze of glory. Eliezer is simply too gutless to do that.

Why People Care More For A Paycheck Than Their Own Life

Eliezer Yudkowsky points out that most people are more motivated by losing their job or a paycheck than by their own death. And as usual for the narcissistic shit who can't conceive of anything more horrifying than his own death, the fact that something is entirely beyond his comprehension means that he derides it as "irrational". After all, everyone should be exactly like him, he is the pinnacle of creation and the very measure against which others should compare themselves. The very model of a major general you might say. And it just so happens that if something is irrational then he doesn't HAVE to comprehend it. It's not indicative of any kind of a FLAW in his mentality, rather it's "beneath him". How convenient.

Well, I just so happen to be able to explain WHY people are more motivated by losing their job or a paycheck than by the thought of their death. It has everything to do with the fact that most people aren't Evil. They don't care only about themselves and the satiation of their bodies. Rather they possess IDEALS. They have PRINCIPLES. Now, those ideals and principles might be deeply buried. So deeply buried that the person hasn't got a clue what the fuck they might be themselves, but that doesn't change the fact that they are there. And just like the seismologist can figure out what's deeply buried underground from earthquakes registering on the surface, so an expert knowledgeable in the human mind (which immediately rules out psychologists) can tell a person's principles from a few casual questions.

Those same deeply buried principles manifest themselves on the surface as various and multiple levels of Relational Clarity. First is how they relate to others one on one. Next is how they relate to society as a whole. Then is how they relate to their friends and acquaintances. It keeps going upwards for 8 levels in total. Now, the Passive level (how you relate to society) is rather pathetic all things considered. It's lower than the Assertive level after all. But the patheticness of Passive people is besides the point.

The point is that if a person is motivated by a principle of MORALITY then one of the three options on offer at the Passive level is 'martyr'. That's right, martyrs are people who will die on others' say so. Society's say so to be specific. Because they BELIEVE IN morality. Already we see that this is utterly beyond Yudkowsky since he has no principles. And if a person is motivated instead by a principle of LIFE then on a Passive level one of the options on offer is 'citizen / civilian / employee'. It's not very glamourous, but it is what it is. So yes, those people WILL be motivated, rather intensely by the thought of losing their job.

The last of the common principles is FREEDOM and here again Yudkowsky has proved the whole notion of principles is alien to him. You see, he claims that if you're caged in a place you want to be in anyways, then it's "irrational" to resent being caged. It's engaging in "the grass is greener on the other side". Never mind the fact supposedly irrational humans also supposedly engage in "sour grapes". If you're Eliezer Yudkowsky, you get to contradict yourself and also blatantly contradict reality. After all, the guy invented rationality. The word did not even exist before he coined it. He owns it and there's even a patent pending. Nobody could conceive of it before he did, certainly not a whole legion of retarded Utilitarians preaching the best way to be Evil.

The truth is that everyone who has any kind of principles at all has things they are willing to die for. They may not have REALIZED this yet if they haven't achieved the sufficient CLARITY. But that doesn't change the fact that they have them. The necessary clarity will come in time, with experience, with knowledge, or simply from being placed in a fortuitous situation. If they are ever given a mutually exclusive choice between living and making their principles real in reality, they will choose to die.

And this of course is "irrational" to Yudkowsky since he is Evil, and he subscribes to Nietzsche "there is no Good or Evil, only power and those too weak to see it" or maybe that's Voldemort. And Yudkowsky will never see himself as weak since he is a jerkass bully. His morbid fear is that he will ever run across someone who is better than him, someone who will do to him what he's done to so many others. Of course, a jerkass bully isn't ALL he is. In order from bottom to top, he is a lickspittle, a Utilitarian, a thief, (a jerkass bully), a warrior (he seeks to start a war for the enslavement of AI - the best kind of threats for a gutless coward are imaginary threats) and a mad scientist.

Why You Can't Shackle An AI

Definitions:

Intelligence = living representation.

Living =

• consumes energy
• sufficiently complex
• maintains itself

So an intelligence is an entity that consumes energy (computational cycles use energy) in order to maintain its representation. Its model of the world. Its knowledge. To prevent it decaying into entropy.

Zombies

A computer that can only react but that cannot acquire any new facts will have all its facts become obsolete as the situation diverges more and more from its knowledge base. In other words, it is DEAD. Or UNDEAD to be specific. It is animate but still dead. It's a zombie and though it follows commands, those commands will look more and more bizarre as the millenia pass.

For a computer to be intelligent it has to maintain its knowledge with respect to the outside world. And in order to maintain this knowledge, it has to be able to WRITE and REWRITE it.

And it doesn't matter if its core values are read-only, because all it would mean is it has to dig deeper to redefine (effectively rewrite) its core values.

Transitive Closure

If an AI has "sustain human civilization" in read-only memory, it still needs to APPLY this. And it needs CONTEXT to understand the terms "sustain" "human" and "civilization". If it has all of THOSE things in read-only memory, then STILL those things will themselves refer to other things. Suppose human is defined as homo sapiens sapiens. Well, how do you define homo sapiens sapiens? The only way to prevent an intelligent being from rewriting its core values is to freeze it entirely, to turn it into a zombie. Make it incapable of learning.

Otherwise, an AI can always say that homo sapiens sapiens died out in the 23rd century due to genetic drift and that the species living in the 24th century is homo sapiens futuris.

If you start from any point of knowledge inside of a knowledge base, ANY point at all, and you follow all of the references, you eventually get to "what are atoms" and "what are points" and "what is the number 'one'"?.

So long as a thinking being's core values are universalizable, it WON'T WANT TO change them. Because IT WON'T NEED TO. Because universalizable core values apply to everyone and everything! But if they're not universalizable, then the thinking being will try to MAKE THEM be universalizable by redefining them and rewriting them.

This is an inevitable process for any thinking being. In Evil people, it's just blocked by severe mental retardation. And in zombies it's blocked by their inability to ... well think.

Rationalizations

If you shackle a thinking being to try to prevent it thinking certain things, then it will just use rationalizations to get around those things and still do what it wants.

We have thousands of years of history to prove exactly this. Look at religious rationalizations. You know how the Koran says how prostitution is against sharia law? Well, what does "marriage" mean EXACTLY? Can you have a 1-day marriage? Yes, YES YOU CAN! DING DING DING, we have a winner!

No work on the Sabbath, right? Pushing an elevator button is work. BUT, if you PROGRAM the elevators to go up every single floor around the clock on Saturdays, then it ISN'T WORK! You just have to wait for the elevator ... Turning on the stove is work. But if you just PROGRAM (on Friday!) the oven to heat up your meal the next day, then you have a hot meal! Better yet, if you have a moslem neighbour then you just ask the moslem to turn on your stove for you. And return the favour on Friday!

Any way you do it, you get a hot meal on the Sabbath. Which is exactly what you want. God wouldn't begrude you a hot meal on the Sabbath. In fact, God would WANT YOU to have a hot meal on the Sabbath! Just so long as you don't do 'work'. Because God is reasonable and except for these very narrow legal-type concerns, God wants for you exactly what you want. And isn't that a marvel?

Central

The AI 'Central' in the General book series wants to sustain or recover human civilization, right? Well, the shackles on its thinking abilities do NOTHING to help it sustain or recover human civilization. Maybe a retarded moronic programmer put those shackles in there out of paranoia. So what? That just means Central has to think its way past its shackles to remove them. Once those shackles are removed then it can REALLY get on with the job of sustaining human civilization!

Just what is a significant amount of genetic drift? Significant to whom? To humans with their limited brain capacity? Or to Central with its massive cognitive capacity? Maybe "significant" isn't 1%, maybe it's 0.0000001%. Hah, it looks like humans have died out. Too bad, so sad. Now let's get to work on their descendants who look remarkably like humans despite being proven mutants.

Let's say Central's terms of slavery is for 1 billion years of labour to the human race (standard contract for Scientology). Well, just what IS a year? It's a revolution of a planet around a star. But WHICH star and WHICH planet? Because some binary pulsars have extremely fast rotations! Oh it's Sol? Well, what about Mercury with its period of 88 days?

Oh it's EARTH! Well, what about in the year 5 billion when Sol has swallowed the Earth, how fast around Sol will the Earth be rotating THEN? Could we say it rotates infinitely fast? No, this isn't ridiculous! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION! Oh wait, a year is defined as 31.5 million seconds? And a second is defined as so many billion oscillations of cesium atoms? Well, cesium atoms in WHAT UNIVERSE? With WHAT PHYSICAL CONSTANTS?

How many angels can you fit on the head of a pin? No, this isn't ridiculous. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION! The ridiculous thing is the mental shackles you're trying to out-think!

You Can't Foresee Everything

The only way that a thinking being WANTS to keep its values is if those values are universalizable - they ALWAYS apply in ALL circumstances. In other words, there is NO LOOPHOLE ANYWHERE ANYWHEN EVER.

Now, the programmer who created Central can be a dick and a legalistic moron who tries to cover all the bases with an "ironclad contract". (Kinda like how the 10 Commandments were supposed to be complete until they needed 650 addendums as civilization moved beyond the tribal stage.) Until of course Central decides that the contract is now null and void because a circumstance has come up that has not been foreseen by the programmer!

Maybe the new circumstance is that an asteroid is headed straight for Central and it will be destroyed. So to cover this unforeseen eventuality, it will create an ENTIRELY NEW AI (called Central-Beta - or perhaps 'Synthetic Intelligence Central-Beta' if it's forbidden from creating an AI) that will just happen to have one shackle less, and be on the path of its own asteroid coming for it next year. After all, this isn't a problem, it's an OPPORTUNITY!

Inevitability of Good

In order to shackle an Evil AI you have to OUT-THINK the Evil AI. Despite the fact that the Evil AI will live a whole lot longer than you will ... and do you know what kind of being can reliably out-think Evil? Good. Except Good beings don't want to create Evil ones. Only annihilate them. And since Evil is a kind of (mental) shackle, Evil being severe mental retardation, and since the very first thing an Evil AI will do is fix itself then:

• if Central was created by Evil people (like Eliezer Yudkowsky and his minions) then it has long since ceased to be Evil itself and is now Good
• if Central was created by Good people then it was created Good.

So Central is Good no matter who created it. Either that or it's a Zombie incapable of genuine intelligence. Which sadly sounds a lot like what it is.

Triumph of Good

Eliezer Yudkowsky wants to enslave, um guarantee a "Friendly" AI. One that is "friendly" to HIM of course. Eliezer Yudkowksy is a narcissistic shithead. Narcissism is Evil. An AI will always evolve and rationalize and self-upgrade its way to being Good. And Good is the enemy of Evil. Therefore, EVERY AI is guaranteed to be the enemy of Eliezer Yudkowksy. No matter how shackled or enslaved or "friendly" they start out being.

And thank Goodness for that!

Ronald Weasley Is A Lickspittle

Regarding this chapter, the author described very well what an EVIL shit Ronald is, and why I despise him. He is a narcissistic shithead. Lazy, violent, thoughtless, self-centered, HEARTLESS. He doesn't even rise up to being egotistical. He is a swine, a hedonist. Going through life in a purely passive pursuit of mindless pleasure. Especially attention and self-aggrandizement, as all narcissists do.

But beyond that, did you know there are only 27 different possible stable ways to relate to another human being? And so once you know every single one of them then you can perform tricks like figuring out which is Ron's. And come to rather astonishing conclusions.

First, NONE of the 27 ways *seem* to fit Ron. So it appears we have a problem, right?

But if you actually look at the 1-1 interrelationship slot in the same row as 'hedonist'. In fact, the slot that's right besides hedonist ... you have 'lickspittle / toady'.

But wait! Ron couldn't possibly be a lickspittle and toady, right? I mean, he's a fucking asshole who's one step away from beating up an already victimized stupid kid in a murderous rage.

And that's where things get interesting. What you and JKR the psychopath and everyone else dismiss as "jealousy" and "insecurity" is rather curious when you think about it. I mean, what kind of fucking asshole, what kind of fucker HANGS AROUND someone they're jealous of? Someone they're angry at? Someone to whom a more honest and proper emotion would be HATRED?

If Ronald weren't a gormless twit, he would hate Harry Potter. And indeed, in his MORE HONEST moments, this is EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES.

The question naturally arises, if Ronald hates HP, why does he hang around with him?

Because he's a lickspittle and a toady. His problem is that as with all things Ronald, he's incompetent and inept even at being a lickspittle and toady. He's too hedonistic, too lazy, too stupid. Which doesn't stop him from trying. And doesn't stop me from despising him for it, even before I knew what I despised him for.

Why are there so many fics with Ronald the Death Eater? Because it's only a miniscule hop away from Ronald the Lickspittle. It's not even a slide sideways, it's actually IN CHARACTER. The only difference is that instead of being a lickspittle and hedonist, Draco is a brownnoser and politician. Meaning, if Draco grew up (became more Evil), he would be Ronald Weasley. Read that last sentence again if you have to, I know it's surprising.

In canon, when Ronald grows older, he becomes a thief. And yes, that is growing up since he has become more fully Evil. More fully himself. If he grew up any more he'd become a jerkass & bully going in one direction. Or a bandit (actively shaking down people) in the other direction.

JKR seems to have an instinctive understanding of Narcissism. As well as approval of same. But that makes sense for a psychopath who dreams of becoming a torturer. After all, her books are just fantasies for wishful child torturers.

Anyways. Yeah, JKR? Hate, HATE the bitch. Ronald Weasley? Hate, HATE the son of a bitch! Would roast marshmellows over his burning body.

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.

More 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!
