Yesterday there was the news that our saint Vaclav [only 1000 years ago] was not. Legends do not match relics nor each other. His holly skull is of 10 years older male. Did he have a bad killer brother? Was he murdered? Was he? He was the nation's godfather and now he may not. We know there were cyanobacteria 3 000 000 000 years ago causing the first mass murder [of other bacteria] but we do not know who made up our saint, nation-unifying Kain/Abel story.
[>>...poetry pause... Well his statues stand strong and our rivers run free the pigeons drink beer, it's all Czech to me. ...poetry pause...<<] There was a hoax case of two 19th century manuscripts pretending being much older records of our glory nation's best impressions. Yet the purity of identity and culture had been stained by the reality when the hoax was made public. This intentional mystification became a small piece of our identity jigsaw. Bigger is beer and tongue: but we don't know who first put hops [it grows as weed all around here] in beer and who came up with unpronounceable ř. Holly bitchy! This rhymes with holubičí which is one of our Czech national traits. To be like dove (holub) hints on non violence, docility and peacefulness. One would say there is a big potential for jumping to state of hospitality, but the one who welcomes (vítač) has become a swearword. The treacherous media and tricky reality over trained us: There are almost no refugees here [less than 10000] but they are seen as dangerous viruses to our superbly defined nation. The Arabs are seen as scouts for future Islam invasion, the other ones as scabby low life. To oppose the gypsies and refugees gained normality and is so a much welcome affirmative topic for many ticians. This is sad since the real dangers and risks are being crowded out from the public discourse. We are Earth parasites mostly too docile to be able to ask the governments to stop population presses and fossil fuels extraction. In the times of danger we use paranoia to divert our attention from self destruction to suck on the host's blood ever more lightheartedly. Over population pushes and kills the biosphere [our host and mum]. To the detriment of glorious nations' grandchildren we go on making them so that before the very End we could say our death rate is slower or on a par with the competing tribes of the same parasite species... We are atheistic, well cultured doves/holubs who make fun of our roots and legends. Show me other nation like that! Eh? I bet they are all suckers to glory of the true 'history' and would rather kill the scientists that touch their relics. Would not you kill to keep/get a house? In Israel Jews play the identity mystification when they find what they dig for [old stuff] This magic lets them claim the land as if it was their direct roots who left the stuff. A bit silly because if one's grand grand dies one inherits because of blood lineage not the culture one ...with culture/religion lineage any adherent can claim riches. Yea winnings beget friends. Is Israel DNA different to Palestinian? The winnings = the arid land or houses won't soon matter. We don't need paranoias to unsee the 6th mass extinction, our games made us already deaf and blind.

It's all scale. The fullness of reality presents itself in scales. Is all scale to me? Besides abstracts like empty and nonempty sets or binary counting, most things are all more or less smooth scales and many old truths are just close approximations to mysterious reality. All that touches behaviour and huge stuff is best described as scales beyond 'either or'.
Sex used to be boy or girl but if you study it in the tiny scale, the steps between appear. We anticipate attraction and identification are fluid ie are present in different intensities and flavours. Similarly with the biological sex, it may emerge in a rare combination of or a lack of boy's or girl's hormones and gear. The basic traits of tiny particles is space waving and spin.. Spin was taught as left and right. [I don't get it, because movements are relative and clockwise becomes anti-clockwise if seen from below, innit?] They can also not rotate and become waves of space-time. This is beyond scales of human experience and imagination. There tend to be many tiny steps between the perceivable states which we cannot see, let alone imagine. The femto-sized marbles pumped with existence jump between states of various energies, scents, flavours and charms. [language for unimaginable]. Same story with the story of the immaculate conception. It could really happen in many rare, yet possible ways... There is actually a scale of non-miraculous ways to pregnancy with an immaculate hymen, including big hole elastic hymen, piercing through abdomen or parthenogenesis [self cloning]. One wonders, were the hymen checks such a norm in Jewish or Roman culture of year zero or was its trumpeting a rare fate's treat for this holly occasion. Were it a usual business, bribing or faking, as with all checks, ensue. Betcha by golly holly bitchy wow! Can most be known? ee.. no. The world is changing too fast. 'I know that I know nothing and am mostly wrong' is a rare fatalism but closer to truth than a faith - a certainty in believing own or others' stories. These are not much likely to reflect reality better than what puzzled entity perceives.
A middle way, to see patterns and come up with guesses and assumptions, is quite popular. It is probably the easiest/most fun since we have the patterns seeing brains and like to substantiate ourselves through some creative assumptions presented as truths uncovered... as is the case with this ego trip. Yet the assumptions are not to be trusted, everyone sees different facets of reality. Most of us are self trained to avoid alien information. A subconscious lie of sorts. Normal. Can risks and experiments be taken to prove the time is an illusion ie we live in a simulation with predefined outcomes? I think now we approach the understanding that most is quite well predefined but not all since there are perfectly random observations [what state is an atomic particle in] One can decide upon such observation and choose another the set of connected futures. All is good if the assumptions are not trusted and risks/experiments are taken. Bad anger is accusatory. Accusatory rage is better than premeditated or suppressed ones yet the accusations do not resolve the situation. They further jeopardise rules, entitlements or expectations and do not nudge to the state of peace.
If the anger is manipulative or suppressed, the things are even worse. This reaction harms the angry person herself, adding pain, puzzling and staining. There is often playing a victim, opening the unhealed scars. Most angry selves believe in good nature of their own theatres / reactions [immediate attack or postponed revenge]. The dopamine gets released and familiar reactions as well as entitlements and expectations are strengthened. The healthy anger is inquiring. The mishap happened and seeing the WTF situation, you cry 'why'? The cause can be seen and so you assert yourself and address/ask for a repair or explanation. One may also question the perception... why was it WTF?, why the entitlement or expectation? If there is God's majeure act, then there is no point in crying out, not to mention to accuse, [in order to avoid risks or repair damages]; no point in expectations either. We are suckers for Gods of weather, their walkovers. Should one blame the clouds and accuse the fate? But what if the self is the perpetrator? What would a good anger do to itself? Ask about what one already knows, but is somehow hidden.. like what would I be without anger. In short, self-enquiry should clear things up, deleting some inner obstacles, enlightening the self a bit. A question rests: Is it ok that there be sudden self disappointments? Would not one rather let loose, let it be. Is not self-irritability exhausting? It is the case imho in most of the humans... we simply can not see ourselves in whole. Too many facets, scars, skeletons or a lack of awareness [one can hold only 4 or 5 things in mind] so we betray ourselves a lot. Self management is hard. Even with to-do, entitlements and expectations lists; it is hard to avoid self disappointments... the short run urges and long run needs fight one another, the points of view change due to history and physiological cycles. The self awareness and irritability can be cultivated and offers good inquiries and reactions taught and learned, and so [as a method] clean the selves. It would lead to 2 things - letting go and self knowledge. What is left when ego and expectations get washed out? Love? [as oppose to ego backdooring]. I wonder if it is used by the modern psychiatry. Economic models say we [I recall disagreeing on this with my professor Mike Hobbs] always want more!?! Some [like Uruguay ex-president Jose Mujica] betrayed models. Rarely do so others. It is a virus of politicians. More growth, more goods, more status, more done. [Czech prime minister and media/agroculture magnate, billionaire Babiš is famous for his 'we work (more) hard' slogans that justify his sins, like subsidies exploitation, in many an eye of his voters] Politicians are the ones whom we voted for as the, closest to our hearts and views, proxies. If you are a bad citizen and no party program or candidate's opinions get close enough [my case], you vote not. Or maybe, being just a lazy cunt, you dislike the election parades rationalising so the passivity. I might add that I envy them their status, ease in social situations and knack for ladders. I am also a judging cunt who is preemptively sceptical about their 'more' disease: the ambition - to seize opportunities... to run for the dream [what is it?]... to elbow your way up to the gravy trail. It has always a flavour of crowding others out, because there is simply not enough opportunities [hence the opportunist = an unfair person grabbing others' shares] for everyone ... zero sum game baby! Many politicians [as in other jobs like law, IT, medicine etc] exercise a talent to complicate issues and stall progress to appear more indispensable. And here comes their 'more' poison ointment - lobbying, hidden interests, corruption and privileges.
Some people would like to have their say, socialise or just do what politicians declare: to help others with work and expertise, but do not like the show off and compete. True that, the more signalling of normality and status is important (to inform the potential voters who have do not know the officials personally), the dirtier it gets... plus too many meetings, discussions, materials to read and people to marionette. Some people don't need all this yet still would be motivated to spend time on building their communities and having their say. Make sense, it infuses MEANING to their lives, as opposed to superficial pastimes like commuting, social media, TV, shopping, etc... [too much internet is correlated to poor all-anything] Cases in point be that we know what can and need to be done to solve the climate crisis and overpopulation, but are unable to act due to lack of funds, ideology, political will and reactive media culture (the currency of attention is cheap-gratis gained as an externality of outrageous half-assed media). If these obstacles were removed, we could end the fossil fuel industry and start the greener future with milder species extermination prognoses. How to explain a Muslim that her huge family is to the detriment of all beings? What nudges? Who can help to imagine? Rejoice. Soon we will have AI means to express our will more directly by bypassing some of the representatives. Do not rejoice, we still won't be able to organise competing entities, like nations, so that none cheats in the shared spheres. In the times of pre-curated opinions, the only thing that may erase the national for the sake of global is a global ambition eraser: a RNA/DNA manipulating AI that manages to diminish the human numbers and so our petty wars. Prof Yvonne Streckova used to say to us that the best version of society ruling is under an enlightened monarch. To have your feudal lord enlightened is a pure luck, to have bad democracy representation is a norm. The young, women and poor are severely underrepresented, the landlords are overrepresented. The systems are such that the representatives are mostly chosen because they are rich, own media or manage old boy klans that often impared with silly mutual benefit rituals. But democracy does not need to be this way.
1stly: There used to be times of sortition. Sortition is a MP lottery, a random choice that had been tried and tested in the ancient Athens. Any citizen =anybody who might be interested has chance. We want to have our say but not all, some are wise, busy or stupid to pass on this chance to fulfil our societal potentials. The randomly chosen MPs from a pool of would-be politicians will rule better than today's professionals, since they are 1] representing underrepresented 2] not corrupted, not wasting time on status and intrigues 3] more open, flexible, fit for changing times 4] willing to put in work and learn 5] new. The problem may be the risk of drawing an unlucky string of inept manipulable MPs who would become puppets of their mentors. Also expected long term insensitivity [short term goals preference] can be a bit stronger than that of the current deputies, who know they could buy the posts for years. I would give it a try... a big one. 2ndly Soon will our decisions use some AI support. There can be direct and permanent representation using bespoke artificial brains/avatars [a program or an app] trained to permanently represent on behalf of any voting constituent who would chose to teach them his/her own nuanced views and positions. The people who would prefer this option should organise themselves in a party to have a chance to opt out from the old party system because this old system does not really represent anybody. [see how many turn up to vote] to be represented alongside of the rest who would rather keep their own traditional human MPs. Both should coexist in one parliament and evolve side by side for better ruling. The voting within this new party should be verifiable. The enlightened MPs of existing parliaments should 'betray' their parties to serve as the proxies of this direct democracy even before elections. 3rdly: A referendum. Referendums should be something normal [John Matsusaka showed the plebiscites decide better than MPs] But they are too few and too 50/50 and too expensive. The complications with voting, with costs and media theatre around today's referendums deem them quite unpopular. In places where they are really used, they work well. The voting should be electronic [say by email], verifiable in a big 2D poster [table] with all votes in a grid so that anybody can instantly see their own voting and that the total/voting result is correct. No chance for fraud. There were times of legends, held in papyrus, clay or parchment but mostly in memories. The legends were based in real events sprinkled with magic to appeal to the listener and their aims. They could give lessons [fables], explain nature and support the tribal coherence and morals [perseverance]. Memory of a story teller could hold amounts of today's bookcases. Some old stories are quite loose, some very detailed as precise recollection, yet no one would accuse them of being truth = exact recordings... the details omitted or added were at the discretion of the authors and the retellers; i.e. of their biases or intentions = their self deception [we can see only what we know] and memories [remembering is creative re-imagination] and cheating [intentional fraud subtly adding importance to the creative truth-benders].
Until there were means of mass recording one could not be too sure what and how happened. All tell story to add their perspectives, omitting and creating=lying. Land ownership, wars and competition made people care for their stories, destroying the non-compliant evidence. Thus there was probably a truth-bender trade of injecting buyers' importance to the stories told. However the letterpress invention = cheaper book copies made the history more and more verifiable through finding common intersections of various writings. Later on, the video evidence narrowed the truth to just one recording camera. Now we have a new truth, unlike the previous truth. We again cannot trust not even the video recordings: programmed AI can create fake video speeches that are just plain real. Or close-real, as nothing is real in the post-truth times. At least we could believe most of the 'history' of last 400 hundred years, can't we? We all remember seeing the 3 skyscrapers [twins + building 7 WTC of 49 floors] coming down in a demolition fashion on the 9/11 as first skyscrapers' live demolition by terrorism or fire or greedy owners. Can history teach us something? Not really. 1stly the devil and god are in the details and the shadow figures, collective will and karma are working behind the scenes, avoiding being recognised and/or recorded, 2ndly we have no clue what matters and what causes what [look at economics theories] 3rdly we see things through emotional lenses of our cultural background stories, unable to perceive new, rare and downplaying opposing stories. 4thly the world is changing faster and faster and the most of nowadays circumstances and things has 'never-before' qualities. So why so many are defined by history? Being proud of someone's false memories and half-truths? The guy who slew the dragon was my dear leader. On a personal level one needs to lean onto something.... [assumption] or rather be safe and comfortable. If not barking the same melody, one is at risk of being scolded or killed. Many nations and religions invest in creation of their stories. The kids are taught to follow the authority. To ask: who would I be without my nation's [surely proud] history / my bestest cultural heritage is like an apostasy.... death penalty, anyone? Luckily the history was good ... even the 9/11 collapse was good for most of the millennials [born after 2002] since without it they would not exist... their father, not only would not impregnate their mother on the same sperm day, but often would not even meet her. So thank you mami, pappi as well as all the history [causality mesh] through volcanoes, apes, immaculate conception, Genghis Khans, Lincoln, Stalin and pals etc for so far pleasantish existence. .. I wonder if we will ever be able to bend time to find out how random this mesh of causality is. Hindsight may suggest all was inevitable but I believe many forks had been decided by a pure chance of 50.00000000000000000000000000001% further on one side than on the other in the particular cause-time, much randomer than a winner sperm.. One should realise we tend to see a throne since we see ourselves naturally in the centre of the universe. Animals see/feel themselves in the centre too, but they leave it at that. We do not, we ponder, look for patterns and reasons. We find them [invent rather than discover] and so we see ourselves justifiably, even more so, quite a bit more unique [since we deal with something higher than food, sex and security ...to feel special] ....than would be fairly deserved. Why deserved, is not moral relative? It is, but I still think it is not fair to harm other species' cultures. They have cultures but not powered by pride and competition. They do not compete with our cultures. Yet we input noise or cut their communication. Why? Since some our cultures compete a lot. The food for a message is emotion. For culture to spread there must be some. We are invested in patterns and reasons we thought we discovered and we amplify them way beyond reasonable. [reasonable purveying is personal sharing across 4 generations of a tribe or a small nation] The result of cultures in competition is paranoia and deafness to present reality. In post-truth world one's only fulcrum is their own paranoia. Human cultures [90% of them] are much more spread and noisier than that of whales, apes or wolfs packs. Used to compete and roar where ever there is free space. The harm is not just poisoning and killing, it starts with jamming. As if there was an intention to puzzle the enemy first...
Are we the only that have souls? What is a soul anyway? An ability to observe the future self i.e. its saving aka the fate. All is equipped with some sort of self preservation. Most beings worth of the name have instincts, programs [tweaked by evolution] plus the ability of learning. Learning means, they can create some habits to alter their pre-programmed behaviours. Now, the soul observes and reflecting on the story, adds its hue to the habits. The core is in why/how a soul reacts to a story. Well, to be relevant [produce emotions] a story needs to touch games, food, sex and security [family, environment's harmony]. Soul reacts to the emotions. Animals have them too. Animals also have temperaments [that's how one defines an animal = a creature with temperament]. Fish play, some birds mourn and recognise themselves in a mirror. Dolphins like to fuck in front of one. Many herds care for all members. Apes can sign language and Russians love their children too. We can copy/parrot, learn and communicate better than other animals. Animals teach mostly by example, we can by books or videos too, but our instinct is best in personal settings where micro emotions show way. Our speciality is communication and knowledge sharing.. We have the strong innate mimicking/mirroring ability, because only we can communicate a comprehensive know-how as a safe way to anything in a stable environment. The instinct evolved in slow changing settings. It is connected with bonding and belonging. Our modern environments are far from stable. Even the true is not the old true. Mirroring feels good, yet it results often in rigidity and groupthink. The Man looks stupid not just on the macro, sawing out his own branch, but also at the micro scale where culture with its silly enchantments [cults, lotteries, ponzi schemes, political and sport supporting] occur.
You are special. And you too. We all are unique. There are at least 2 young ginger Brits who look like Ed Sheeran. Only one of them does parkour. I forgot his name yet both are unique... Passing for Ed Sheeran, one sure has an interesting public life .
Good for them. All is full of love...More food, sex, fun and security. Chiselled in any DNA, there are hidden the jewels of Existence. Look at instincts and behaviours of animals and insects. They are immensely beautiful, bespoke and complicated. All intertwingled and evolved. Evolution works. The evidence is not in beauty of complex behaviours but in its quick, human caused, instances: Deep Learning algorithms, spreading of memes on/about a culture or inbreeding antibiotics-resistant bacteria. The process is somewhat magic in its detail, so as it's quick. Often we do not know what mutations caused what, but it works. Powered by ethereal thirst for existence, the God's biggest invention. |
