    I AM ALL FOR PRAYER

    I am all for prayer. If that means talking to our gods. I do that all the time. I mean, who else will listen to our bitching, whining, insecurity, envy, uncertainty and indecision? lol. The great thing about an all-knowing god is that you know you can’t lie to him, and so, in your prayers it’s hard to lie. And I think a quiet time where we are unable to lie to ourselves is a particular discipline we all benefit from. I think the more “neurotic” (worrying) we are, the more important prayer is for us. Now, I have worked to where I can achieve the same discipline by writing arguments. So to some degree writing has become an equivalent discipline for testing my own thoughts. But there are things I would not write down. Even in conversation with myself. And it is those things I reserve for ‘prayer’ (talking to my god).

    (Funny: I doubt sociopaths pray, but if they do, can they lie to their gods? lol)

    CHOMSKY’S METAPHYSICAL FALLACY

    (Interesting post on understanding Chomsky via anglo vs jewish metaphysical assumptions)

    You know, at least Chomsky, unlike most lefties is well read. Or, rather, he’s well enough read that he at least makes partially rational arguments. But once you understand that his underlying metaphysical desire (or maybe assumption) is a cooperative world in which we are all shepherds of goats, sheep, merchandise, and information (information, myth, gossip, lies), roaming a desert, steppe, or ocean, paying no costs of landholding, and in particular no normative costs of landholding – instead of landholding farmers and capital producers that must constantly pay the high costs and normative costs of land holding – you see right through every single statement he makes as just another poor dimwitted fool indoctrinated into the nonsense metaphysics of religious ‘belief’. I mean, Jewish and Muslim cults are fascinating because they place a tragic and false conformity on their peoples: in the case of jews they are both conquered, diasporic, persecuted, because they do not grasp the central tenet of their faith: that they could not hold judea because they failed to transform from slaves, shepherds, and traders to land holders – because their ethic lacks the mandate that they pay the high cost of norms. They do not live in a world where the steppe, desert, sea, air, or even information system is ‘un owned’. So not only is their faith predicated on a lie (mysticism) but it is predicated on a suicidal falsehood: that they can parasitically exist off land holders who will eventually persecute them for their parasitism, and that they accumulate wealth merely by circumventing those real and normative costs, and indoctrinate themselves into land- holding. instead, they maintain group cohesion by threat of ostracization from internal insurance and advocacy, and the wealth effect of parasitic free riding on land-holders and land holder ethics.

    Well, now lets flip it around and see what errors we Anglos engage in – because it’s not dissimilar, just from the opposite end of the spectrum of land-holding vs migratory labor: an island fortress people, defended like Crete’s Mycenaean civilization by an accomplished navy. Or america, like Rome, entirely dependent for its culture on Athens(Britain) and Sparta(german), exhausting itself with conquest in pursuit of commercial wealth. Anglos live under the illusion that the aristocracy of everyone is either possible or desirable, despite the fact that the reason that the island of Britain developed a near-aristocracy of everyone, was through thousands of years of genetic pacification of the underclasses – leaving only the martial middle and working class, and the rotating upper middle classes alive (as is true throughout most of the hanjal/hanseatic civilization we fail to distinguish from its Mediterranean cousin. But which aside from being christian differs vastly in myths and norms. And then again, that Hanjal/Hansa civilization varies less from its Celtic civilization that was destroyed by the roman conquest of Europe(“Celtica”.)

    Now, look at how desperate the academy and state are to seek status by perpetuating the neo-puritan mythos…

    I mean, government is a ‘bad’ because it allows twisted people the power to do twisted things, for reasons that they don’t understand, but are always reducible to status seeking self interest.

    The Age of Political Empowerment (the Enlightenment era) has been every bit a catastrophe in politics, as the age of technology (the enlightenment) has been a success.

    We cannot revert to the past, we can only complete the transition and remove the folly of will from the state.

    US INTELLIGENCE REVOLTS AGAINST ADMINISTRATION LAUNDERING OF REPORTS

    Great article today on how dozens of US Intelligence analysts are calling the administration ‘liars’ on our ‘successes’ against ISIS / ISIL. The’ve been at it for a year now and they were told maybe they should ‘retire’. They state that they did not speak up during the Bush administration, when poor intelligence reports formed the basis of Bush’s belief in weapons of mass destruction – that we later found didn’t exist. They don’t want this to happen again. So they’re speaking up: it’s not going well against ISIS ISIL. But what is more important (to me) since I know ISIS / ISIL isn’t doing all that badly at all, is that they Intelligence community is taking the heat for the WMD debacle – and showing it. I love that there are ethical people in the world.

    I have no idea how sick vocalists make it on stage. I am still recovering from the flu I had last week. And I know that my lungs, diaphram, vocal cords, and maybe my whole body, are not in the same shape as a professional, but I just tried two songs and pretty much failed atrociously. Staying on key is not a problem. But it just sounds flat and strained. Empty.

    I got nuthin’.

    A very large middle aged woman just tried to tear my clothes off on the dance floor. Almost got my shirt. Thankfully there was a guy older and drunker and I was able to unload her on him instead. Good thing. He is hairier than I am so no matter what happens I will still look good…. 😉

    I haven’t noticed any decline in cognitive ability with age, just the opposite: there is a sort of critical mass you can achieve where all new learning is easier.

    I do notice two things: languages used to be easy, and I used to retain local maps more easily.

    But it seems more that I have to focus on language and spatial memory.

    So I am not sure it’s a loss of function rather than the relative dominance of internal thought relative to new external stimuli.

    What would methuselah think like? Almost all experience would be noise.

    For we infovores, so we grow irritable with age if we are no longer able to find new experiences via information?

    I know that I am like a drug addict and become agitated if I cannot find new information to consume.

    How does it transform our thinking now that information access cost is near zero?

    Is scanning really inferior to reading? Is Nick Carr right or wrong?

    Why is internal reasoning more effective than external searching if pattern recognition so readily defeats reason?
