The Freedom to Love actually means...

Image
I'm all for the freedom to love without boundaries.   To the angel, it means to give unto your neighbour as you give unto your own.  It means to love those in need without a system-imposed opportunity cost that makes one unable to afford to give to your neighbour.  It means to be free to give till it works, as opposed to being systemically-impoverished and class-subjugated so that we have to stop giving because it hurts (our pockets).    In a society where we are thus free to love by giving our utmost to each other, our only constraint would be nature and the scarcity of resources, or the lack of technology and knowledge to make even more of nature, or not getting past our own self-absorbtion so that we can offer maximal therapeutic or supportive help to our neighbour, NOT, one sector hoarding resources, or steering human intellectual and spiritual progress in a direction that disables us from being able to do the above.  THAT, is the Freed...

What Really is Capitalism?

Image
Capitalism is an economic system.  It is a system whereby people organise and undertake production and the distribution of goods and services.  Or so it is said. But more accurately, it is a system whereby people organise and undertake production and the distribution of goods and services with a particular set of attitudes, with a particular view of oneself, particular view of other people, engenders particular types of interrelationships between people, particular set of morals, and particular set of goals with particular opportunity costs and consequences .  Capitalism, like any other system, is used to nurture us into a particular type of human  through  the use of economics.  It is an ethical system, a moral system, a religious system, a philosophical system, serving to enable and disable, halt, control, and delete particular aspects of our human potentials for the purpose of particular returns. The separation of Church and State was basica...

Sympathy for the She-Devil?

Image
  Eurofeminist protest in a Cologne Cathedral during Christmas mass, 2013 A collection of brief thoughts on Feminism, or Eurofeminism Crying Wolves? I don't care who you are, but if you're going to recount sexual assault, abuse or attention, stories from years ago, you can have sympathy, but can't demand credibility on the basis of not having a prick. court official to woman in the dock : "Do you promise to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the Truth?"   Woman in the dock : "Are you blind?" * court offical to man in the dock : "Do you promise to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the Truth?" Man in the dock : "Yes." Judge to man in the dock : "Are you aware of the penalty for perjury"? 'Grooming' is a common word used by women in the west to disclaim responsibility for their actions and decisions.  It's, "It's not my fault!  I was groomed to do what i kept doing again and again and again....and it...

Is the Glass Half Empty or Half Full? And the Right Answer is...

Image
The strategy of Corporations and governments in the long run is to get people to stop seeing the cup as half empty,  1. by downsizing the size of the cup to half so it can be perceived as completely full 2. by downsizing the thirst of the people so they view the glass as full enough 3. by getting the people to compensate for the glass being half empty by looking elsewhere for nourishment And this works by downsizing people's intelligence, aspirations, self-identity, ideas on what is ideal, etc, etc, in proportion to the downsizing of the glass, through the reduction of expectations via the provision of means to get around a half empty glass.  The hunger for profit by the few can never be reconciled with the maximal development of all the people.  Yup.  The best means supplied by capitalist and fascist governments globally to get around a problem is by getting you to not see it as one.   And how that is done is by 1.  providing you ways to get around it...

Apple and the New World Order

Image
  The question shouldn't be,  'how long can my apple computer or phone last?',   But,  'How long does the component in it with the shortest lifespan that is supposed to be easy to change, but which apple seals in so that we can't, last? ONE The lifespan of the component with the shortest lifespan and which the entire computer relies on to function, will determine how long your entire computer lasts.  When you look at it that way - which is the only logical way to look at it - you will know how long your Apple product will last, or putting it another way, how long Apple WANTS your device to last despite the other components in it outlasting it.   And finally, the component that lasts the least is actually the price of the ENTIRE device because you will be forced to throw out the entire device when that part fails.  Or, you have the option of going to see some 'genius' in the Apple store and pay loads to get it repaired or upgraded, or in other...

Sexual Abuse and the Catholic Church

Image
The degeneration of the church as witnessed in the ongoing sexual abuse discoveries within the Catholic church is in significant part, a consequence of the overarching sexual revolution in the west;  the growth of eurofeminism's assertion that women aren't free till they're free to be as debauched as the worse amongst men;  the Consumerist Revolution in the west finally leading to Sexual Consumerism and the LGBTQ movement; and the juvenilisation of the market with the young serving as the main force determining media and cultural development, and it serving to enhance the tendency toward immediate gratification and via shallow and debased means. These phenomena shows an all round acceptance, celebration, and promotion of sexual promiscuity and depravity in western society. In fact, the LGBTQ movement actually expects the Church to serve as a contraceptive to protect them from feelings of moral conflict. However, it has reached a point that they demand it, not due to moral...

Race Religion Politics Wealth, in brief

Image
Makavelli  (on facebook) : We are all humans until... Race disconnected us, Religion separated us, Politics divided us, And wealth classified us. ed : Race didn't disconnect us, it gave us the opportunity to have different experiences and share it. Religion didn't separate us, it gave us different ideas that, when joined, forms a beautiful whole. Politics didn't divide us, it just distinguished between the ignorant or self-abosorbed and those who weren't. Wealth didn't classify us, its disproportionate distribution did. It is not in avoiding the above that we become human, but in realising and resolving it.  Navigate wisely and with empathy through such division, and it will deliver your multiplication. e X

Capitalism, Scams and Headphones

Image
What you see in the picture illustrates a scam.  You may not be interested in Headphones, or  Frequency Response Graphs, but the principle here is cross applicable.  So just consider the following. Let me keep it simple. AKG produced the k601 some years ago, with an MSRP of $300usd. Then, after a while, it discontinued it. You know why? Because the quality of these phones is similar to high end models now being sold at more than a thousand US dollars (click image above for a clearer view of the similarity between the $300usd k601 and the $2000usd Audeze LCD X). So AKG realised that they were selling us real quality at a relatively low price with the K601. Now, even for the best AKG headphones, like the K712 or K812, the latter of which costs more than a thousand dollars (approx: $1500usd), you can't get the quality o f the k601 in terms of frequency response curves. (click image below.  The $1500usd K812 is only slightly better only at the 1-3khz region....

How Racism begat Anti-Communism in America.....thoughts

Image
The american, or white american, fear and hatred of communism during the McCarthy era (see video below) was significantly founded on the coinciding fear and hatred of 'niggers' and anyone who challenged the white supremacism of white americans.  Communism was all about equality and caring for the disadvantaged as much as the advantaged and ensuring that not only do people have the freedom of opportunity, but the opportunity to access the resources required to enjoy that freedom.  

 For the whites to consider communism was akin to relinquishing their dominance over the non-whites, which, in turn, was how the whites contended with exploitation by the elite themselves. However, as many white americans were already well-versed in the art of racist discrimination, given their record of killing the natives and shuffling those that remained into reservations; confining Mexicans to Barios; and enslaving the blacks or treating them as 2nd class citizens, it was only natural that the...

These Increasingly Juvenile Times

An extreme artist has been performing acrobatics hundreds of metres above a canyon in central China. Eskil Ronningsbakken, who worked on the Aizhai suspension bridge in Hunan province without a safety harness, later balanced on a rope ladder hanging from a hot air balloon. - bbc “There were times when intellectual, spiritual, and creative achievement preoccupied quite some people. Now, its just 'career advancement', reproduction, grocery shopping, celeb worship and reality shows. With the devaluation of life, its no wonder that people put it at risk for 'kicks' as a last effort at feeling alive. People who like 'living on the edge' are those who don't have anything going on in the plains of the lives, if you think about it.” - ed, on facebook What we are seeing all around us is the best a child would do if pushed to be creative and intelligent but forced to remain a child.  The child can reach the maximum of its intelligent and creative potential as a ch...

Of Gods, Philosophers and the modern Superhero

Image
Superheroes have evolved with the passage of times.  Once, they were saints and Gods, whom represented ideals which we could internalise and become Godlike.  Of course, many people say that the belief in God only led to underdevelopment amongst people.  They, of course, are wrong.  It is the failure to follow God to the final conclusion, to realise that He made all of us in His image, and that to realise that ‘image’ in ourselves by unifying with every culture and country, and extricating the best elements of all religions, recipes, etc, etc, etc, that would bring together the still-disparate pieces of the puzzle of God, and finally bring to hand the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth, that had led to disenchantment with religion and God.  The failure to do this is that which led us to be disempowered.  That is when we produced, became susceptible to, and handed control over to, the elite, celebs, and corporations of our day.  What happened then was that ...
