  • Youā€™d probably want to segregate the hard-tech from the soft/bio-tech:

    IF you require deterministic-performance, THEN stay away from meat-implimentation.

    IF you require sentience-sensitivity, THEN stay away from hard-tech implimentation.

    ( same principle as requiring both people & systems, in order to project effective force, economically, militarily, in disaster-relief, in any domain,

    same principle as using both a wordsless-wholistic metaphor-understanding sentience in oneā€™s right-hemisphere, vs a reductionistic sentience in oneā€™s left, as the split-brain patients showed.

    2 orthogonal systems, collaborating ā€¦ produces greater results than either-kind would on its own! )

    Organic-sentience and machine-compute, organic doing the high-level-decisions, & machines doing the low-level-competencies, seems much more realistic.

    The single most-important thing you CAN do, is understand yourself as profoundly as you can.

    Read John Trubyā€™s book ā€œThe Anatomy of Genresā€, which is on the 14 story-genres that we form our own meanings of.

    Heā€™s got a few details wrong

    ( like mistaking the Wild West village for what Village-archetype is, when real Village-archetype is the Tribal Mother Village,

    and he misunderstands humor, as well, believing that the US-culture ā€œdropā€ ( related to put-down ) is the core of humor, but the entire category of creative-misinterpretation is humor that isnā€™t dependent on ā€œthe dropā€.

    Hofstadter, in his ā€œGodel Escher Bachā€ book, identified that the real shape of humor is the moebius strip: a strange loop.

    You walk around in a ā€œcircleā€, and ā€¦ discover youā€™re now somehow upside-down??

    Surprised-by-improbability, would be near-the-heart of it.

    Anyways )

    Trubyā€™s book is CRAMMED with psychology insights into our forming, our growing-up, etc.

    Iā€™d require it of all high-schoolers, planetwide, for their HS diploma:

    simply by making people encounter considering how theyā€™re forming the meaning that they, themselves, are, would lever humanity up into much greater global understanding/competence, though itā€™d take a generation or 2 for the effects to become visibleā€¦


    Lanierā€™s ā€œForeign to Familiarā€ & Hofstedeā€™s ā€œExploring Cultureā€ are both important, too, because if you know that some of the dimensions of culture they identify work a particular way for you ( ie doesnā€™t-work or you-need-this ), then suddenly, that spotlights something in your nature that has harmony in a specific subset of cultures, and shows you why that is doing this, in youā€¦

    ( libraries exist: you donā€™t need to buy those, but the Truby books, youā€™ll probably fill with notesā€¦ )

  • A Corporation is:

    • an incorporated ā€œpersonā€, that
    • is legally-obliged to be psychotic, narcissistic, machiavellian, sociopathic-psychopathic, and short-termist/nihilist, using all the systemic-dishonesty that it can, for gain
    • the only dimension of the DarkHexad that it isnā€™t obliged to be, is sadisticā€¦ thatā€™s optional.
    • it cannot ever be put in prison, because itā€™s a herd, not an individual: it can dissipate, but it cannot die, or be forced to experience karma: only individuals can be truly-accountable.

    ( DarkHexad:

    • narcissistic
    • machiavellian
    • sociopathic-psychopathic
    • nihilist
    • sadist
    • systemic-dishonesty )

    ( all this to say that the legalistically-enacted-treason of granting ā€œpersonhoodā€ to corporations killed strategic-viability for all countries, and the highjacking-of-the-worldā€™s-economy AND the worldā€™s-governments, by corporations, is global unfolding proof.

    What should have happened, is a separate category of pseudopersons should have been created, with systematically-limited rights, including prohibiting the things from interfering in elections,

    but that would have required some real integrity & spineā€¦ )

    ( finally, for anybody so young/naive as to believe that charities are inherently-good, go volunteer in the management of one for a few years, & then see how you view integrityā€¦ )




  • I used to think like that, sorta.

    Read Kegan & Laheyā€™s ā€œImmunity to Changeā€ book, on peopleā€™s unconscious-mindā€™s mechanism for fighting-off growing-up.

    Then let it percolate in your mind for a few decades, while you watch humankindā€™s process.

    Iā€™d now make a law requiring that the top people be Kegan5 unconscious-mind-development ( he calls 3, 4, & 5 something like ā€œsocially-based sentienceā€, rooted in needing to feel liked, ā€œself-authoringā€ mind, which I call Bulling-BOSS mode, itā€™s an obnoxious mode male-culture values because itā€™s so ā€œalphaā€.

    Youtubeā€™s Wranglerstar & Veritasium are both poster-people for it, 1 in working-class Kegan4 the other in middle/upper-middle-class Kegan4, & both displaying Kegan4ā€™s obnoxiousness.

    I spent most of my adult life in it, and wish I could just retroactively slice most of my life from Universe.

    ā€œsystems-of-systemsā€ mode is Kegan5. )

    itā€™s consistent that if you field a Kegan3 person to be your negotiation-representative, and the other side fields a Kegan4, youā€™re run-over.

    If you field a Kegan5 & they field a Kegan4, youā€™re run-over.

    IF they field a Kegan4, THEN you need equal/opposite bullying, in order that the zero-sum-game not beat your side to shit.

    However, IF they have the uprightness to field a Kegan5 & you can too, THEN Win-Win becomes possible.

    Young-adults, Kegan3ā€™s ( the Kegan3 stage can continue for the entire rest of a personā€™s life, from post-adolescence to 100yo or more, but it is mentally/psychically a young-adult stage ), cannot accept that evil is real, the way someone mentally-older can.


    Kegan3ā€™s are in the absorbing experience into their unconscious-mind, stage.

    Kegan4ā€™s are in the pushing meaning out of their unconscious, ā€œauthoringā€ themselves through that unconscious-pushing-out process stage.

    Kegan5ā€™s are in the this is true for them, that is true for these other people, the-other is true for me, and this is how it all fits together stage.

    Iā€™d not permit any naive Kegan3ā€™s to rule any major operation, nor permit any zero-sum-game-ā€œvalidityā€ Kegan4ā€™s to rule anything important.

    That book gives people the means of converting fighting-off-growing-up to actually-successfully-growing-up, and so it is worth many life-years or life-decades, to many.


    Nobody in the whole world has any reason to accept that my values have any validity in them, though, that is true.

    All who hold that there is no understanding which should be prerequisite to authority, well they all outnumber me, donā€™t they?

    shrug

    This Iā€™ve found tests to be true, however.


    ( bonus point:

    it has been published that the DreamTeam formation is a team-of-7, with 2 who match the Kegan5 mental-development, 2 who match the Kegan4 mental-development, & 3 who match the Kegan3 mental-development.

    The Kegan4ā€™s bursting with ideas, but not understanding all the systems-of-systems gotchas, means the team is more likely to be able to innovate,

    the Kegan5ā€™s, if they can do it without demolishing the Kegan4ā€™s morale, can ask questions to corner the Kegan4ā€™s into considering all sorts of things they hadnā€™t, so they prevent lots of stupid mistakes,

    & the Kegan3ā€™s are the ā€œglueā€ which holds the team coherent & harmonious.

    Iā€™m mixing multiple sources together, but they really were identifying the same thing, only each was doing-so without some of the other pieces.

    New Scientist had an article on The Dream Team, years ago, Chris McGoffā€™s book ā€œThe Primesā€ is part of it, the Kegan & Lahey book is part of it, some HBR stuff as well, perhaps some stuff from the managers-of-programmers books, whatā€™s her name, Roth? canā€™t rememberā€¦

    fit it together, though, and it fits properly: there is a balance which produces working momentum, instead of institutional-mentality, and that working momentum is based on the substance of the minds of the people in the team, and ignoring the unconscious-mind-development stage ā€¦ is ignoring the BIG part of each personā€™s iceberg.

    : )





  • Science: the ruthlessly-objective, systematic, progressive annihilation of both direct & indirect ignorance, no matter what that does to oneā€™s worldview.

    THE keystone book in understanding this, is Douglas Hofstadterā€™s brilliant ā€œGodel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braidā€, which hammers that if one remains within a self-consistent formal-system-of-knowing, then it ISNā€™T POSSIBLE for one to be knowing Universe-complete, and that is mathematical fact.

    Journalism, real journalism, is the essence of science, just without the hard-rigor.

    Anybody who isnā€™t competent in understanding what Hofstadterā€™s book means, isnā€™t competent in philosophy.

    ā€œThat which isnā€™t matter, DOESNā€™T EXIST.ā€

    That is materialism.

    ā€œGod: The Failed Hypothesisā€, by Victor Stenger, iirc, was the book that made me see what the fundamentalist materialists were saying.

    Unreadable gaslighting, materialist dogma is.

    The whole ā€œThe Hard Problemā€ of Consciousness is produced by the definition of ā€œrealā€ to be identical-with ā€œmatterā€.

    Artifact-of-the-view.

    aka prejudice.


    You deem it delusion that the Soul-memories of some of its other-lives/incarnations nuked my Catholic upbringing?

    lol

    I changed my worldview as a direct result of evidence, and that took years, because the smashing-of-assumptions was sooo profoundā€¦

    ā€¦ and you are gloriously certain that it is only my delusion, because it is axiomatic that That Cannot Validly Be,

    and you deem me incompetent in Science?

    That is funny.


    Iā€™ve proven unable to put my proper, revised, with systematic links to things, including a scientific paper proving that Western Medicine has been gaslighting an entire category of patients, up, and Iā€™ve downvoted my comment that you replied-to, to make it no-longer-significant on this discussion,

    but Iā€™m leaving it up, so that all the denigration can be visible, and everybody, for all time, can laugh at the ā€œdefectiveā€ that I am, who wrote a spur-of-the-moment 1000-word comment, and didnā€™t get it hammered-out perfectly-clearly.

    Feel free to denigrate my replacement comment, which had to be posted in 2 parts, because of some kind of character-limit, possibly at 10k chars.

    Wishing you well, but your contempt for my understanding is insulting, and your presumption that knowing-of-previous-lives-of-oneā€™s-continuum is delusion axiomatically, is also insulting.

    Awareness is simultaneously immaterial AND real.

    All ā€œscienceā€ which ignores/denies that, isnā€™t science, it is ideological-addiction/prejudice, and gaslighting.

    At population-scale, so long as you donā€™t have either a population primed with materialist prejudice, or with anti-subtle-awareness-habits like eating pork or eggs, it is entirely possible to test whether reincarnation is real,

    and there are multiple books on the scientific testing of such, as with documenting a childā€™s remembering of some previous-life, and then going to that part of the world & doing the history-research to discover that what that kid said, was true.

    Donā€™t do the research, if itā€™d violate your assumption-river/religion, though, obviously: devout materialism is comforting for you, then remain in it, if you want, and glory in the amassed Authority which contempts my empiricism & objectivity.

    ā€œThe Boy Who Knew Too Muchā€, is, iirc, 1 of the available options, though there is another book which is, apparently, a huge & dry scientific work, yellowish cover, iirc.

    Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, but I hope we never meet:

    The intersection of Empiricist-Objectivity & Kaizen is the ONLY TRUE assumption-river/religion, in my eyes, and whatever cosmology works most-completely, not most-self-consistently, but most-completely, is what I need to hold to,

    ā€¦and that you have already deemed axiomatically to be only delusion.

    Good.

    Honour your path.


  • *** BEGINNING OF PART2 ***

    Pyrrol-disorder ( amygdala-hijack always pressuring, and ambushing/breaking one into PTSD-RAGE, with any ā€œstraw that broke the camelā€™s backā€ ), was treated best with the mixture of Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Picolinate, Arachidonic-acid-precursor Evening Primrose Oil ( 2 big capsules / day ), and P5P form of one of the Vitamin Bā€™s.

    This gave me the ONLY experience Iā€™ve ever had, in my life, of not-fighting-the-pressure-of-pending-amygdala-hijack-every-second, and it left me ā€¦ HAPPY. Never experienced anything like that, beforeā€¦

    Whyā€™d I quit it? Iā€™m an old-testament Vajrayana, & meditation must be my primary-weapon of self-conquering, not pills, AND taking Zinc every 6 hours was a brutal regime, and it was razorā€™s-edge chemical-balance to maintain.

    Walsh is right that people with pyrrol-disorder ( which wrongly eradicates zinc from our bodies, leaving too-little for normal management of copper, or for methylation-of-DNA for that matter ) require dangerous ( to others! ) levels of metals-intake to reach correct-balancing between copper & zinc. I was taking enough to probably kill any non-pyrrol-disorder person: 4x the Tolerable Upper Limit. It worked, though, exactly as Walsh indicated.


    So:

    Solitude, & systematically healing food, & the corrections for 2 epigenetic-disorders that Western Medicine wonā€™t allow are real ( because itā€™d GUT authority-based psychiatry if the evidence were admitted ), that demonstrated exactly what actually is wrong, and gave me leverage in owning my life, more completely.

    Next?

    • EVIDENCE-based knowing.

    .: Scientific Method & Objectivity is itself one of the therapies I broke the gaslighting of doctors ( and medical-professional parents ) with, and so must be considered a valid therapy, too.

    Kaizen, aka relentless evolving, as oneā€™s personal Religion.

    ( my cosmology is Vajrayana, simply because Universeā€™s-speech, aka Evidence, broke the worldviews I was brought-up in.

    Ramakrishna Vivekananda too contempted the prejudice masquerading as ā€œscienceā€, that I call Scientism, which presumes materialism, and therefore presumes that Awareness/Knowing/Meaning/Will canā€™t be real, but that is prejudice: all those are testable and objectively-real.

    What produces cities, if awareness/knowing/meaning/will donā€™t exist??

    ā€œRandomness & mindless statistical processā€, according to fundamentalist materialismā€™s dogma. )

    Some have even tested entanglement in the macro-scale by experiment:

    • the experiment of having dog-owners set a video recorder in their home, with timestamping on, and they mark down when they decide to leave for home, at work, and the video records if the dog(s) light-up right then ā€¦ obviously, it doesnā€™t matter how many such pairs donā€™t demonstrate such entanglement: if even 1 pair is so good at demonstrating it, then that falsifies the dogma that ā€œThat Canā€™t Happenā€ and ā€œThat Isnā€™t Possibleā€.

    • the experiment of having women in some quiet context, and a wired camera that can see them is connected to a switcher, and one, or another, person is watching a monitor, and sometimes that monitor is showing the womanā€¦ can she identify when someone is watching her?? IF yes, THEN that, too, falsifies the materialist Scientism/prejudice ā€œThat Canā€™t Happenā€ and ā€œThat Isnā€™t Possibleā€.

    I havenā€™t read the book, but only the first few pagesā€¦

    it is from this book that I got those 2 examples, and yes, they do stand up to replication.

    https://www.amazon.com/Science-Set-Free-Paths-Discovery-ebook/dp/B0076PGG6Y/

    Since Iā€™ve experienced enough evidence to know when authority-based-ā€œscienceā€ is gaslighting me,

    and since even physicist Weinberg commented on the fact that 100 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE ( a Googol, as he observed ) contradiction between evidence & established-theory, re the measured Cosmological Constant, vs The Standard Model of Cosmology

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

    Scientism is unfalsifiable, Science holds that ONE ā€œBlack Swanā€, that actually exists, FALSIFIES ā€œAll Swans Are Whiteā€, no matter how Scientism keeps conveniently-measuring only white swans, as a means of ā€œprovingā€ that only white swans existā€¦

    Karl Popper would have called-out that NON-falsifiable dogma ISNā€™T AND NEVER WAS Science, as would have Carl Saganā€¦

    Evidence convinced me of what I hold to be true, and Iā€™m continuing on that path, until I die, in the hopes of breaking my Soul/CellOfGod/ChildOfGod/Atman from getting perpetually-recycled in Universe.

    ( deem the existence of awareness to be delusion, and the existence of awareness-beyond-this-body to be delusion, all you want: Mom brought me up Catholic, and it was discovering that some of the Soul-memories Iā€™d recovered were of previous-lives, that blew-up ALL the Abrahamic-assumption-rivers/religions, for me. It took YEARS to adjust to that forced-change-in-worldview.

    Notice that Ramakrishna Vivekananda observed, in the 1800ā€™s, White manā€™s absolute contempt for Universe violating materialism, and refusal to either do the experiment honestly OR to accept the testimony of anybody who actually did the experiment.

    https://ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_1/addresses_at_the_parliament/v1_c1_why_we_disagreee.htm

    Here is a taste of his scientific mind: https://ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_1/addresses_at_the_parliament/v1_c1_paper_on_hinduism.htm

    Iā€™m not going to bother digging until I find the point, somewhere in Volume 1 of his Complete Works, where he explicitly states that it ā€œtakes gutsā€ to do the experiment, and that White man wonā€™t do the experiment: find it yourself, if you care about that. )

    IF you prefer authority-based-medicine, and have the gall to ignore the evidence even called-out in one of John Brockmanā€™s books, probably ā€œThis Idea Must Dieā€ ( that ā€œevidence based medicineā€ which provably ISNā€™T evidence-based, it is authority-based ), then contempt me, categorically, as defective, in your religion.

    Here is that article from Edge.org, which was made into a chapter of one of his books:

    https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25433

    Addiction-to-integrity & addiction-to-Universeā€™s-actual-bizarre-unfolding/opening both are good addictions, to me.

    That IS the assumption-river/religion of Empiricism intersecting Kaizen.

    You have your assumption-river/religion, fundamentalist-materialists have theirs, I have mine.

    Eternity is going to continue reprpocessing/recycling ALL energies contained within Universe, and I want out, pronto.

    Remain within, if that makes you feel great.

    That is what evolution means, within a continuum/soul, obviously: your soul sows, through you, your soul reaps, through future ā€œlivesā€/incarnations. How could it work properly if you just donā€™t mean anything? MEAN what you mean: self-honesty, no matter how contempted by the currently-fashionable prejudice, is healing!

    Notice that Evolution works externally, ie between generations of a species UNTIL human-category-life, and then, because self evolution becomes possible, it becomes possible to ā€œclimb the inner mountainā€, as buddhism calls it ( naming that inner-mountain ā€œMount Meruā€, but many mistake it for some external thing, nowadays ).

    : )


    Born autistic, lost 10% of my brain between about 10-16, then, in the last 14y or so ( Iā€™m gaining on 60yo ), a thousand-ish concussions, trying to break my will-to-live with a cudgel, so I could murder my life, but eventually learned that will-to-live is stronger, in this brain, than I am, so Iā€™m stuck living, and therefore am stuck living with the consequences of all-3 waves of brain-injury.

    It takes years to grow-in new/replacement brain, but the meditations do speed the process.

    Western minds may find convincing in a book named ā€œSuper Genesā€ by geneticist Tanzi & co-author Chopra, https://www.amazon.com/Super-Genes-Astonishing-Optimum-Well-Being-ebook/dp/B00TNDIDNG/ and it cites the science backing its arguments for malleable/earnable healing.

    Here is a scientific-paper SHOWING where 20% of the child-onset-ā€œschizophrenicā€'s brain is lost, where 15% is lost, where 10% is lost, & where 5% is lost.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2877521/

    That doesnā€™t include all the other damage, at overall, or at micro, scales, that is just PROVING that brain-injury is the primary fact of ā€œschizophreniaā€.

    Know that the 10% brain-volume-loss has been known-about since the 1920ā€™s.

    IF you lost 10% of your brain due to stroke, or aneurism, or a physical spike wound, or due to concussion, they wouldnā€™t tell you that ā€œit is all in your mind: it is your illness-of-mind, and it ISNā€™T POSSIBLE for any healing to be real, that too is your illness-of-mindā€, but, if a child loses 10% of their brain, through a 5-year-long ā€œforest fireā€, as that paper calls it, of epigenetic-error, that child will be told exactly that.

    Gaslighting can eat rocks.

    I spent several YEARS intermittently-catatonic with brain-injury, and was gaslighted by doctors that there was no brain-injury, and that it was ā€œmy mental illnessā€ to believe that I could make my brain heal.

    It seems obvious to me, that I did ditch their drugging, and havenā€™t been much-of-the-time-catatonic since last-century.

    It seems obvious to me that that fact is, itself, objective, factual evidence.

    My 3 layers of brain-injury are:

    • Autism ( you can read about the brain-damage in terms of amygdala being 2x the normal size, so the amygdala-to-cortex-ratio is off by factor-of-2, you can read about the wrong-number-of-microcolumns, & the wrong-height-of-microcolumns on the cortex, you can read about our faceblindness, you can read about how eye-contact is emotional-violence to us, you can read about how social-process-circuitry is broken in us, you can SEE for yourself the autistic-bodylanguage in Richard Feynmanā€™s videos, and even-more-extremely in Temple Grandinā€™s TED talks, etc. )

    • ā€œacute, child-onset ā€˜schizophreniaā€™ā€ ( I will be linking to a paper SHOWING that that is brain-injury, according to medical-research scans, later. The cause of that 5-year-long wave-of-cell-apoptosis brain-decimation is, according to the evidence Iā€™ve got, epigenetic, and both mitigatable-before-it-hits and mitigatable-after-the-fact, as my obvious recovery would testify, outside fundamentalist Scientism. )

    • when the bullying-prejudiceā€™s gaslighting got too-strong, I began trying to cudgel-my-will-to-live-to-death, so that I could then murder my life, as a means of teaching the Soul/CellOfGod/Atman that was having my life to GROW THE FUCK UP AND STOP INDULGING IN SUCH ABUSE-TOY LIVES. I failed, obviously, and now have bad memory-problems as a result of about 1000-ish hard-concussions with weapons, of whatever was ready-to-hand, through more than a decade.


    What worked:

    • Solitude.

    Many YEARS of Solitude & Isolation.

    Getting away from the abuser/prejudice/gaslighting, and since it is normal-culture, itself, whose prejudice is my fundamental abuser, then getting away from everybody, for years, gave me the means to continue existing, eventually living, & even healing.

    I donā€™t expect solitude to work for anybody other-than the ones that ā€œEnneagramā€ calles a ā€œ5ā€.

    ( Richard Rohr commented that monasteries are filled with enneagram-5ā€™s: he was right. )


    That, combined with Frawleyā€™s ayurvedic appropriate-to-oneā€™s-metabolism ingredients food, which massively helped my health,

    IF youā€™ve the intellectual-integrity to DO the experiment, THEN https://www.amazon.com/Ayurvedic-Healing-Comprehensive-David-Frawley-ebook/dp/B003TO5EF0/ and https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-your-Type-Ayurvedic-Approach-ebook/dp/B0028UBEVO/ BOTH are required for necessary-and-sufficiently-complete understanding:

    the ā€œAyurvedic Healingā€ book includes the best test-checklist I know-of, and it is the ingredients-lists that make the book into scientific-experimentā€™s basis:

    Simply discover which of the 7 possible metabolic-types you are, then, IF you are not of the all-3-mixed-together one, THEN you can do the experiment thusly:

    1. identify the ingredients, the cooking-methods, and the balance-of-kinds-of-ingredients that is most-pacifying for your metabbolism/dosha, AND
    2. identify the ones that are most inappropriate for your metabolism/dosha, AND
    3. prepare pairs of dishes, such that you have 2 complete, though small, meals, for yourself, AND
    4. sit down without distractions, & see if you can identify your bodyā€™s reaction to the different dishes
    5. honestly consider your results.

    I consider the probability of Frawleyā€™s book ( and NOT ANYTHING of the bullshit ā€œayurvedaā€ from the internet! ) of being as stunningly-accurate in its prediction of what would be beneficial vs harmful to be extremely low: it was TOO consistently & improbably right.

    It has proven, through the years, to remain so, as Iā€™ve broken my metabolism from the one I spent nearly 1/2 century in, and then I broke that one, and so on, ending-up in a mixed metabolism.

    Having that ingredients-list on me, when I was shopping, improved my health significantly, no matter how much contempt/prejudice Western Medicine has for such evidence.

    They wonā€™t do the experiment, because they already ā€œknowā€ that ā€œThat Canā€™t Happen!ā€ and ā€œThat Isnā€™t Possible!ā€, which, exactly as many have noted since the 1800ā€™s, is one of several White prejudices.


    & William J. Walshā€™s ā€œNutrient Powerā€ book, which really oughta be corrected, a bitā€¦

    https://www.amazon.com/Nutrient-Power-Heal-Biochemistry-Brain-ebook/dp/B00J75IQUA/

    I replicated both his Undermethylated-DNA-disorder treatment and his Pyrrol-disorder treatment, each 4 times, and at-least 2 different ways.

    Undermethylated-DNA-disorder: enteric-coated SAM-e, 40mins before breakfast, with clear water ( or tea, but NO carbs/food ) worked in 3 months, and Methionine worked in 4 months. The only times in my life Iā€™ve ever experienced ZERO stress, which was awesome.

    Takes-away my academic-drive, though, so I only would use Methionine now to ā€œtake the edge offā€, if the stress of Undermethylation-distortion were gimping me or my life.

  • ā€œopt outā€ privacy-molestation/rape & identity-theft-facilitation NEEDS to be criminalized, it seems.

    You donā€™t claim that pickpocketing someoneā€™s wallet, ID, passport, and money, is ā€œlegalā€, just because they didnā€™t complain about it, do you?

    Yet that behaviour is exactly what seems to be normalizing, digitallyā€¦

    Thank you for posting this, eh?

  • Please read John Trubyā€™s book ā€œThe Anatomy of Genresā€, and have your mind BLOWN by all the psychology in the different 14 Genres of story, dominating our cultures throughout the world, nowā€¦

    It will make fiction in book AND movie form sooo much richer for you, and it will make other-people much-more-understandable, as wellā€¦

    Iā€™m autistic, am NOT likely to ever watch another movie in my life ( waaay too overwhelming ), but now I understand story so much betterā€¦

    Trubyā€™s got a special place in his heart for both Godfather I & II.

    With reason, his explanations show.

    There are an amazing number of awesome stories identified in that book, as examples demonstrating this, or that, aspect of storyā€¦

    Please read it from beginning to end, so the explanations ( which build on each-other ) weave into the whole, properly ( instead of just hitting 2 chapters & not getting why it doesnā€™t make as much sense as Iā€™m suggesting it does ).

    The only significant error in the book worth noting, is the misunderstanding of Comedy:

    Improbably-violated-expectations is the PROPER definition of it, and there is no requirement for any ā€œdropā€, which seems an American subset of humour.

    Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

  • The ONLY way that peace could have been earned, in the West Bank, isā€¦

    • an independent ( UN ) government, that wouldnā€™t tolerate EITHER sideā€™s abuse, and systematically silenced bullying from the place
    • ALL necessary & sufficient infrastructure, healthcare, etc, in-place, AND NEUTRAL ( no Hamas, no Israel, NO politics in it: ONLY neutral facilitation-of-healthy-civil-process )
    • keep this silencing-of-any-bullying for 2-4 generations, until the enmity-addicted people were all out-from-power
    • THEN form a sane local-of-the-people government, gradually ceding from 1 to the other, celebrating the victory-against-prejudice ( on both sides ).

    Neither side would tolerate/allow that.

    TTBOMK, Israel has maintained about 100 dead Palestinians for every dead Israeli Jew, for many years, there is some sites on the 'web that have numbers for that, btw.

    There is ZERO hope for any peace there, thanks to enmity being the addiction of sooo many, on both sides, who have authority, and therefore who use their authority to multiply enmityā€™s reach throughout the cultures.

    A ā€œchurch of hatred & evilā€ that situation has become.

    Heartbreaking waste of God-given LivingPotential & LivingOpportunity, from both populationsā€¦

  • Solitude.

    Many YEARS of Solitude & Isolation.

    Getting away from the abuser/prejudice, and since it is normal-culture, itself, whose prejudice is my fundamental abuser, then getting away from everybody, for years, gave me the means to continue living.

    That, combined with Frawleyā€™s ayurvedic appropriate-to-oneā€™s-metabolism ingredients food, which massively helped my health,

    & William J. Walshā€™s ā€œNutrient Powerā€ book, which really oughta be corrected, a bitā€¦

    I replicated both is undermethylated-DNA-disorder treatment and his pyrrol-disorder treatment, each 4 times, and at-least 2 different ways.

    Undermethylated-DNA-disorder: enteric-coated SAM-e, 40mins before breakfast, with clear water ( or tea, but NO carbs/food ) worked in 3 months, and Methionine worked in 4 months. The only times in my life Iā€™ve ever experienced ZERO stress, which was awesome. Takes-away my academic-drive, though, so I only would use Methionine now to ā€œtake the edge offā€, if the stress of undermethylation-distortion were gimping me or my life.

    Pyrrol-disorder ( amygdala-hijack always pressuring, and ambushing/breaking one into PTSD-RAGE, with any ā€œstraw that broke the camelā€™s backā€ ), was treated best with the mixture of Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Picolinate, Arachidonic-acid-precursor Evening Primrose Oil ( 2 big capsules / day ), and P5P form of one of the Vitamin Bā€™s. This gave me the ONLY experience Iā€™ve ever had, in my life, of not-fighting-the-pressure-of-pending-amygdala-hijack-every-second, and it left me ā€¦ HAPPY. Never experienced anything like that, beforeā€¦ Whyā€™d I quit it? Iā€™m a Vajrayana, & meditation must be my primary-weapon of self-conquering, not pills, AND taking Zinc every 6 hours was a brutal regime, and it was razorā€™s-edge chemical-balance to maintain. Walsh is right that people with pyrrol-disorder ( which wrongly eradicates zinc from our bodies, leaving too-little for normal management of copper, or for methylation-of-DNA for that matter ) require dangerous ( to others! ) levels of metals-intake to reach correct-balancing between copper & zinc. I was taking enough to probably kill any non-pyrrol-disorder person: 4x the Tolerable Upper Limit. It worked, though, exactly as Walsh indicated.

    So:

    Solitude, & systematically healing food, & the corrections for 2 epigenetic-disorders that Western Medicine wonā€™t allow are real ( because itā€™d GUT authority-based psychiatry if the evidence were admitted ), that demonstrated exactly what actually is wrong, and gave me leverage in owning my life, more completely.

    EVIDENCE-based knowing.

    .: Scientific Method is itself one of the therapies I broke the gaslighting of doctors ( and medical-professional parents ) with, and so must be considered a valid therapy, too.

    Kaizen, aka relentless evolving, as oneā€™s personal Religion. ( my cosmology is Vajrayana, simply because Universeā€™s-speech, aka Evidence, broke the worldviews I was brought-up in. Ramakrishna Vivekananda too contempted the prejudice masquerading as ā€œscienceā€, that I call Scientism, which presumes materialism, and therefore presumes that Awareness/Knowing/Meaning/Will canā€™t be real, but that is prejudice: all those are testable and objectively-real.

    Some have even tested entanglement in the macro-scale by experiment:

    • the experiment of having dog-owners set a video recorder in their home, with timestamping on, and they mark down when they decide to leave for home, at work, and the video records if the dog(s) light-up right then ā€¦ obviously, it doesnā€™t matter how many such pairs donā€™t demonstrate such entanglement: if even 1 pair is so good at demonstrating it, then that falsifies the dogma that ā€œThat Canā€™t Happenā€ and ā€œThat Isnā€™t Possibleā€.
    • the experiment of having women in some quiet context, and a wired camera that can see them is connected to a switcher, and one, or another, person is watching a monitor, and sometimes that monitor is showing the womanā€¦ can she identify when someone is watching her?? IF yes, THEN that, too, falsifies the materialist Scientism/prejudice ā€œThat Canā€™t Happenā€ and ā€œThat Isnā€™t Possibleā€.

    Since Iā€™ve experienced enough evidence to know when authority-based-ā€œscienceā€ is gaslighting me, and since even physicist Weinberg commented on the fact that 100 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE contradiction between evidence & established-theory, re the measured Cosmological Constant, vs The Standard Model of Cosmology

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

    Scientism is unfalsifiable, Science holds that ONE ā€œBlack Swanā€, that really exists, FALSIFIES ā€œAll Swans Are Whiteā€, no matter how Scientism keeps conveniently-measuring only white swans, as a means of ā€œprovingā€ that only white swans existā€¦

    Karl Popper would have called-out that NON-falsifiable dogma ISNā€™T AND NEVER WAS Science, as would have Carl Saganā€¦

    Evidence convinced me of what I hold to be true, and Iā€™m continuing on that path, until I die, in the hopes of breaking my Soul/CellOfGod/ChildOfGod/Atman from getting perpetually-recycled in Universe.

    IF you prefer authority-based-medicine, and have the gall to ignore the evidence even called-out in one of John Brockmanā€™s books, probably ā€œThis Idea Must Dieā€ ( that ā€œevidence based medicineā€ which provably ISNā€™T evidence-based, it is authority-based ), then contempt me, categorically, as defective, in your religion.

    Addiction-to-integrity & addiction-to-Universeā€™s-actual-bizarre-unfolding/opening both are good addictions, to me.

    You have your assumption-river/religion, fundamentalist-materialists have theirs, I have mine.

    Eternity is going to continue reprpocessing/recycling ALL energies contained within Universe, and I want out, pronto.

    Remain within, if that makes you feel great.

    That is what evolution means, within a continuum/soul, obviously: your soul sows, through you, your soul reaps, through future ā€œlivesā€/incarnations. How could it work properly if you just donā€™t mean anything? MEAN what you mean: self-honesty, no matter how contempted by the currently-fashionable prejudice, is healing!

    : )

    Born autistic, lost 10% of my brain between about 10-16, then, in the last 14y or so ( Iā€™m gaining on 60yo ), a thousand-ish concussions, trying to break my will-to-live with a cudgel, so I could murder my life, but eventually learned that will-to-live is stronger, in this brain, than I am, so Iā€™m stuck living, and therefore am stuck living with the consequences of all-3 waves of brain-injury.

    It takes years to grow-in new/replacement brain, but the meditations do speed the process.

    ( Western minds may find convincing in a book named ā€œSuper Genesā€ by geneticist Tanzi & co-author Chopra, and it cites the science backing its arguments for malleable/earnable healing )
