Thinking for myself
I do not consider myself a conservative, liberal, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, republican, democrat, communist, socialist, anarchist
, racist and certainly not the smartest human.
What I say below is the
result of
spending 7 decades on this planet.
THE FIRST HUMAN ILLUSION
"OUR PERCEPTION OF REALITY"
Individually humans are so beautiful. We are all unique and have enormous potential for love and a great appetite for happiness and peace.
As we grow up in different environments we develop loyalties and we adopt
ideologies. The trouble begins when we, as a group, attempt to force our perceived realities
(beliefs) on others of smaller numbers.
Do the math. Who is to say
which philosophy or ideology is the absolute or true interpretation of
right and wrong? The
math dictates that all attempts to define and impose law on others
is futile, usually flawed and certainly biased. There is a common sense
solution to world problems if we simply look at our physical world for
the physical answers.
Ideology and religions belong in the heart and mind but not forced on
humans in the form of laws. True and just laws are determined by
existence alone.
THE SECOND HUMAN ILLUSION
"MONEY"
All governments on planet Earth are corrupted. They are imperfect,
unjust, biased, devious and totally harmful to the successful
development of the human species. "Why? What do you mean? How dare you
say that!"
The one undeniable and corrupting element on
planet Earth is the concept of currency and its manipulation.
FACT:
Capitalism is not a form of government. Capitalism is not the same as
democracy. Capitalism is a horribly
flawed economic system which enslaves 90
percent of the human species.
Human obsession with money is
responsible for
crime, poverty, elitism, extortion (taxes), competition, wars, endless
litigation and
(worst of all) class distinction. Only those humans in power reap the
rewards while the vast majority suffer. Sadly it is the vast
majority that are fooled into believing this is normal.
FACT:
Money
is not necessary for humans to survive and jobs do
not define the worth of any human. Physical labor, tedious warehouse
and desk jobs should be rewarded the same quality of life as the
wealthy. Just on moral issues alone the human race is a
disgrace.
We actually believe that education, talent and hard work
is the basis for all success. How sad and embarrassing on a
cosmic level.
1. Higher education is only given to those who can pay.
90 percent of humans can't pay for tuition on a global scale.
2. Talent comes with little effort and is not deserving of wealth.
So you play baseball or paint soup cans on canvas, big deal!
3. Apparently hard work by the poor is never rewarded.
NO ONE works harder than laborers at minimum wage!
HAVING TALENT, BEING ATHLETIC AND FAMOUS ARE NOT VIRTUES AND DO NOT
DESERVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. MOST HUMANS NEVER GET A CHANCE TO
FIND THEIR HIDDEN TALENTS.
The wealthy sit on the top of the pyramid (below) and they suck
the life out of the middle class and the poor. They also evade paying taxes.
Using basic
physics I can prove that the amount of effort expended by manual labor
is far more deserving of rewards than the wealthy.
We are wasting our most precious Earthly
resource which is the human mind. Imagine the millions of geniuses
around the Earth that never get a chance to flourish because of prejudice, lack of opportunity or poverty.
Perhaps some day
we will evolve into a "Type One civilization" as described by the noted theoretical physicist Michio
Kaku.
Look it up!
A DECENT CIVILIZATION WOULD BE
REPULSED BY THE IMAGES (BELOW).
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.
Capitalism's symptoms:
Companies make it hard to cancel services,
Harassing phone calls all day long,
Scams, spam, phishing, lies, exaggerations, phony products,
contracts with small print,
paying for medical care and education,
hidden fees, evictions,
robbery, black mail, kidnapping,
mindless hours watching endless TV commercials,
crooked politicians,
crooked police,
gangs, kidnapping,
deceptive food packaging (box half full),
selling unhealthy food to the poor,
expensive drugs, car dealers,
non disclosure agreements,
Patents,
auditions for supreme court judges,
lowest bid contracts in construction,
elitism, nepotism, bigotry, poverty
etc....an infinite list....
BIG EXAMPLES OF CORRUPTION
To quote from George Orwell's "1984",
“We know that no one ever seizes power
with the intention of relinquishing it.”
The Rise of 2 Despots and one "wanna be"
Vladimir Putin has extended his rule because he is Corrupt.
Xi Jinping has extended his rule because he is Corrupt.
Mr. "Wanna Be" desperately wants to be a dictator but he was to obvious and too stupid to pull it off.
Donald Trump is proof there are no
mental or moral standards for president of the United
States.
He is the liar who started the election fraud story and, because the
Americans were dumb enough to elect him, they were also dumb enough to believe him. At that moment the United
States became an embarrassment on a cosmic level.
Filled with hatred, like
the citizens in George Orwell's "1984", Trump's followers waved their
flags and screamed
their insults at any group of people they were told were a threat. Even so
called religious people believed in him, as if any God would
support a creature like Trump.
THE PRESENT AND FUTURE
STATUE OF LIBERTY
INSCRIPTIONS
ORIGINAL INSCRIPTION
"Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to be free,
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
"Now it
appears most Americans have determined that we can no longer afford
compassion or
tolerance.
REVISED INSCRIPTION Today
"Keep your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to be free,
keep the refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed elsewhere.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door,
and a sign reads NO Vacancy."
LEARNING FROM THE PAST?
Can you understand how Hitler gained power?
Can you see that ignorance is a country's weakest link?
Can you see that nothing is solved by two opposing Parties?
(The following is Specific to the U. S)
Can you see that a country divided by 50 is useless?
Humans are Polarized
 
Have
you ever witnessed humans in an argument where the outcome results
in one or
the other participant conceding defeat? Humans are only interested in winning at all
cost.
Black Lives Do Matter
As do all lives, but we are responsible for the deplorable
slave issues of the past and we must make amends.
A look into the past reveals faces of hatred and ignorance.
Imagine the bravery of this young woman.
The above is an example of the type of crowd that president Trump used
as his political base. Ignorance is the ONLY excuse for the above disgrace.
From a Cosmic perspective
a Worthy Species...
Does not demand money for knowledge,
Does not care about human differences,
Does not demand money for aid of any kind,
Does not build cheaply constructed homes,
Does not believe in any class distinction,
Does not sell anything,
Does not create slums,
Does not evict anybody,
Does not care about opinion,
Does not believe jobs define a person,
Does not offer anything of lessor quality,
Does not distort knowledge to fit their beliefs,
Does not attack its own species,
Does not let infrastructure fail,
(as the U.S. has done since Eisenhower)
Does not have borders,
Does not have rich and poor,
Does not cut corners for profit,
does not need money to exist.
HUMAN FOLLY #1 " The concept of Class and Elitism"
Newton's Third Law of Inertia simply put: Every action (force) is met with an equal and opposite reaction (force).
In a fair and just world, work should
be rewarded by
an equal measure of benefit. Keeping this in mind, how do we
justify the fact that only 2% of the humans on this planet are wealthy
and do very little work? How do we justify the poor and middle class
living
under the yoke of endless debt while suffering the
stress of constant extortion at the hands of the
rich?
HUMAN FOLLY #2 - "Conflicting ideologies"
Today
useless conflicts abound with Christians against Muslims, Democracy
against Communism, Jews against Palestinians, Republicans against
Democrats, Muslim against Hindu, blacks against whites, left against right, and the rich against the poor. All of
these conflicts are totally absurd on a cosmic level.
One
thing I do
know about the universe, IT DOESN'T
CARE. Ideology is a human construct that should reside in the mind and
heart but not imposed on the human race in the form of a government.
Always remember that compassion is the most important "white blood cell" for the preservation of the species.
HUMAN FOLLY #3 "SELF IMPORTANCE"
Self
importance is not the same as conceit. Self importance is a defense
mechanism to preserve an individual's perception of their self and their preferred
reality. We spend too
much time in
measuring how things stack up to our own individual beliefs and
desires. If life doesn't measure up to our standards, we get the following results:
SYMPTOMS OF SELF IMPORTANCE:
Putting up walls,
terrorism,
mass shootings,
fighting over religious and ideological differences,
road rage,
anger,
bigotry,
xenophobia,
borders,
stubbornness,
jealousy,
lack of compassion,
wars,
not obeying traffic laws,
exclusivity,
patriotism,
bullying,
class distinctions of all kinds,
depression (sometimes),
and political polarization.
Earth needs only one world government that is concerned with providing flawless infrastructure and a quality life for all.
THE SOLUTION IS EQUALITY, SHARING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND MAINTAINING INFRASTRUCTURE
It would be a cooperative world worthy of cosmic scrutiny:
No more commercials,
No more positioning for power or wealth.
No reason to hoard gold or anything else,
No worrying about money,
No evictions,
No governments enforcing beliefs on others,
No homes blown away by hurricanes,
No Wars,
No governments ruling by extortion (bills),
No insurance of any kind (extortion),
No Dictatorships to oppress or brainwash the people,
No paying for knowledge,
No time limit on learning,
No paying for health care,
No working 8 hours a day,
No privileged information,
No hatred on the highways,
The list goes on and on and on.......
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY"
- Look how low we've sunk regarding intellectual property. We develop
cures for diseases yet we are only interested in selling those cures for profit.
"Let them pay up or die", that's our motto!
I've got news for you, the reward is in "the doing" and not the Profit.
  Which
of these worlds (above) has the best chance to succeed? On the left we
have a world divided. The answer is the world on the right
side. A world without class distinctions, conflicts or borders. This is the only option
which guarantees the survival of the human species and protects the individual's right to achieve full potential.
I know
there are millions of humans who would like to evolve.
Why
do humans
try to educate their children under the constraints of a stop watch? Why do we force
our
children to pass
through the eye of a needle at the end of every year? Why do we limit what they may
learn? But the most embarrassing thing we humans do is demand payment
for knowledge. What species does that? What species would deny an education to anyone because of poverty? Oh, I know, Humans!!
Humans
must crystallize into a species with a cosmic perspective. Imagine how humans would benefit if all knowledge and
resources were freely shared. The rewards are in "the doing" itself and not in financial enticements.
 A COSMIC PERSPECTIVE
Our
galaxy "The Milky Way" has around 200 billion stars circling
a giant black hole. It is estimated that there are another 200 billion galaxies
in
the known universe (probably an absurdly low estimate).
Using the image above as a reference:
EARTH'S
first human radio broadcasts have traveled through space at the speed
of light since the
1920's. That
small circle (above) represents the distance
our radio broadcasts have traveled since then. Earth would be in
the center of that small circle and, as you can see, the vast majority
of our own galaxy is yet unaware of our existence. Now you see
why no one
has responded to our radio broadcasts. No doubt there are alien species
throughout most galaxies, yet the chance that they develop into a
civilization that advances beyond their star's life cycle would be
rare. The vast distances of the Universe are overwhelming, lonely and
yet most beautiful. The universe teaches us the importance of self awareness.
BELOW IS A CROSS SECTION OF THE MILKY WAY WHICH DEMONSTRATES
THE PATH EARTH TAKES THROUGH THE PLANE OF THE MILKY WAY 
All
that we know, see, feel, hear and taste derives from coalescing gas and
exploding stars. Your gold jewelry comes from
an ancient exploding star, forged by intense fusion long before our
Earth existed. We are all made entirely of ancient star stuff.
If
we really believed in our Earthly religions we would not allow a world, like the one above, to exist.
SLAVERY STILL EXISTS -
Slavery in modern times is driven by Inequality. Some humans work the majority
of their waking hours
for minimum wage. If humans must use money then,
to be fair, wages should be based on individual energy output. Those
who work the hardest in a physical sense should earn the most money.
Imagine the weight loss!!!
2 cups of Nationalism,
2 cups of religion (any will do)
3/4 cup of Ignorance (not stupidity just ignorance),
and a dash of bigotry, jealousy, envy and want.
Bake at 90 degrees
Interesting fact: WHERE DID THEY GO?
All the ancient peoples of
Earth still exist. The Maya, Inca, Greek, Anasazi, Roman, Egyptians,
Nubian, Mongols and natives of all kinds are still here. They simply
disperse amongst the rest. Yes even the DNA of Neanderthals is within
us. Anything that is physically possible can happen and is natural.
BLINDLY FOLLOW, REALLY?
I
will always question the sanity or motives of someone who speaks for
any God or country. I refuse to blindly follow any political party, any
religion or any law that seems constructed by prejudice or human folly. If
all people are equal, there is no threat of persecution. When there is
no threat of persecution there is nothing more to conquer except the
stars.
A beautiful moment in time near Bali 1968
We
were sailing the pacific on the USS Providence just off the coast of Bali in 1968. It was
a hot still summer night around 12:00 midnight and
I was sitting on the deck with a few of my friends in the navy band.
Everything was eerily quiet and even the sound of a nuclear
cruiser
cutting the water was lost in the absolute quiet of a mirror
smooth ocean. The surface of the water was completely hidden below by a 2
foot high fog layer. It was as if we were sailing on a
cloud and when you looked
over the side you saw only white. Above us the Milky Way was
crystal clear. Out of the cloudy mist below emerged flying fish. They would glide about 20 yards
before diving back into the white silence. The whole experience was
like living in a Dali painting. The flying fish, the silence and the
fog were all components of a beautiful moment that I would never again
experience. It wasn't over yet!! Gary Marcus, a 1st class petty officer who
was a phenomenal tenor sax player, appeared on deck dressed only in his
underwear and with his tenor sax hanging from his neck. He was following an
officer up to the bridge. My friends looked at each other
and agreed
that he was fuming mad. Not five minutes later we heard "Bali Hai"
played over the loud speaker so the whole ship could hear it. Once the
melody was over he finished it off with a mad flurry of notes as if
pissing all over what he had just played. Ahhh, the wonderful language
of music. A was a beautiful evening in so many ways. I
was recently told by Mike Burns (a fine musician and one who knows
about sacrifice) that Gary Marcus was married and needed to stay in the
Navy to pay for his child's medical problems. Inspiration comes from
those around us.
Any
government that murders its own people is corrupt and paranoid. Above:
These ignorant Chinese soldiers think they are doing the right thing,
just like Americans at Kent State or Egyptian soldiers in Cairo.
The girl above is a
Tibetan demonstrator who
eventually ends up with half her head blown off. How noble is Humankind?
The U. S. government would do the same thing to it's own citizens if the wealthy felt threatened.
It's
amazing how humans have accepted the fact that
our brave leaders have the right to send our sons and daughters
to their deaths. WHY?
"MEDICAL
INSURANCE"
- Medical insurance is extortion paid by individuals to stay
alive and backed by our government.
Asking for money in return for medical care is embarrassing on a
cosmic level. My apologies to any intelligent life out there.
TWO IMPORTANT SURVIVAL REQUIREMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE - For
humans to survive it is necessary that we maintain and develop a
consistent and improved infrastructure (communications, water, power,
transportation, education and housing) at all times. STANDARDIZATION
- One of the most important aspects of accelerated evolution would be global
standardization, thus allowing all people access to the same
products
for a specified length of time (example: ten
years) without suffering incompatibility problems.
What Memory Is.....
The
universe is full of matter that is moving. Matter in motion leaves a
trail. That trail
is Memory. We only need to open our eyes,
smell, hear, taste or touch to witness memory. Everything that
you
perceive is memory.
Craters
on all planetary bodies are memory.
Scarred
rocks from receding glaciers are memory,
A snail's trail is memory,
Ripples in the sand,
or a sticky
dollar bill are memory,
A bruise, a cruise or a short fuse are memory,
The scar, a book or a pink slip is memory,
Everything
that moves or is moved upon is memory........
Now,
hypothetically, if there
is an awareness of all memory in the cosmos then that would suggest a singular
universal consciousness. A glimmer of hope for all the religious out
there.
"Speaking of memory, I can't tell you how many times I've stood in a room wondering what I was doing there."
"EVERY CIVILIZATION NEEDS
IT'S DIOGENES."
Nothing for now,
but I'll use this spot to rant and rave.
