that is not solely financial. It is in fact more
closely related to something called <i>power</i>. Power is what we would refer to strictly as a rate of
energy emission. It is also <i>that </i>among the MBs but when it refers to influence
it means the extent and speed with which a meatbody can move, direct or dictate the actions of <i>other </i>meatbodies. Holding high power means that key meatbodies (or large numbers of them) can be moved quickly for any purpose.
It is a peculiar substance, power, because it is unmeasurable except through
a careful assessment of relationships between meatbodies, that is to say, a quantification of "who
controls whom". </p><p>There is outward power - conferred through a popular
process of assignment, like election - and there is hidden power, where
meatbodies hold in suspension over the heads of other meatbodies some piece of
information that, if revealed, would shake the power structure and send top meatbodies
toppling down the ladder. Meatbody populations are driven for the most part by
hidden power.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are different types of hidden power. The most obvious, but least prevalent, is driven by compromising information, as mentioned above. But the most potent mobilizes not just individuals, but the masses. It is driven by information
that is persuasive in the sense that it has been generally assimilated by the meatbody populace. The meatbody is keenly attached
to his acceptability among his meatbody peers. If he is not accepted then he will be ousted
and he will not fare well. So whatever appears to be the agreed understanding will be
embraced by him regardless of its kinship to truth. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Recall this quirky notion of truth and
the odd relationship meatbodies have toward it. Events slip into the
stream of time continuously and from there on are no longer accessible to direct
meatbody cognizance. No record keeping can possibly keep up with this stream. In the absence of record
keeping , the representation of “what happened “ becomes subject to debate.
This debate possesses - truly possesses - the minds of the meatbody masses. <i>What is true? What
is fabricated? </i>These questions are only answerable by consulting the running record. The truly powerful
control <i>this,</i> the representation of past events: The Record. There is no other access - as <i>we </i>are
accustomed to it - to the actual timeline. There is only representation of this
timeline , and the most widely accepted timeline becomes defacto “truth”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we have then meatbodies - the majority - laboring under a false understanding of their own past, living, as it were, under a
misapprehension of truth. This would not matter if <i>no </i>decisions were made on
the basis of “The Record”, but in fact it dictates almost everything they do.
The past serves as a register of lesson-learned that is constantly referred to,
and often used as a stick to beat down a rival meatbody with opposing ambitions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, truth has an interesting feature that is is
troubling to the powerful:<i> it does not change</i>. So if it is
misrepresented here, then it will be incongruous even contradictory with
something else represented over there. To align the two into a coherent whole further
misrepresentation is needed until, at last, an all encompassing fabric must be
spread over every aspect of meatbody existence. And this fabric – necessarily
rough for it can never have the fine fiber of truth – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>will chafe on the backs of meatbodies until ,
inevitably, a number is meatbodies will cast off of themselves this chafing coat
and begin to look around to establish The Record for themselves. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the state of power among the meatbody populace. There
has been too much chafing for too long. The irritation is complete and the incongruity
so enormous that meatbodies the world over feel a rage of internal conflict. What
they see with their own eyes diverges so widely with what is represented that a sense of unreality has
started to overcome them. And that is one thing that no meatbody – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>except under the influence of drugs, a topic
for another time – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>can accept.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They can accept untruth locally, but when there is a mismatch
between local untruth and general perception, we begin to have have unreality,
or as it is called, hyper-reality. The powerful are at the stage now of enforcing hyper-reality, because logic is so far adrift that it can no longer be appealed to. <o:p></o:p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610046839144613577.post-39337765547480856122020-11-14T06:28:00.007-08:002020-11-14T08:29:01.688-08:00the hyper-real<p>Witness the infinitesimal lay siege on the meatbody multitude.

the zombie in their midst – you will be missing a front tooth, you shirt
ripped at the collar, a pluck of hair torn from your scalp. Around you a chorus
of hushed voices will signal onward your arrival. You’ll never have been so
popular. Throngs will gather to see the violence you display. Now stand still a

<div style="text-align: left;">
The meatbody is a slow creature.
Distances are traveled through contact with the ground, one step at a time.<span style="color: black;"> </span>Vehicles do exist, but these are
cumbersome, noisy contraptions that cause more deaths per annum than organized warfare. The meatbody is
naturally apathetic, inclined to lie still and ingest food, drink and visuals. Rarely
is he exultant, and more rarely still impelled to great things. There are
exceptions, of course, and it is these meatbodies who have pulled civilization forward inch by inch.
They are very few in number and often act for the same reasons their inferiors do: fame,
conquest, power, fortune. The selfless – <span style="color: black;"> </span>the
truly selfless, are practically nonexistent, and it is to be questioned whether
selflessness is wholly meritorious. One must look after one’s own affairs, after all, especially amongst the meatbody multitude, rife with laws and regulations.
The system of rule amongst the meatbody is a behemoth so vast no single man can fathom it. Every
few years there is a superficial reshuffle - so called elections - that occasions much brouhaha in the
populace and revenue for the news services, but little in the way of change. Change among the meatbody multitude is either tectonic or volcanic. It either takes generations of gradual social engineering; or it comes in a violent burst of revolutionary upheaval. Thankfully,
it is mostly slow; but this past century has also seen much of the violent, and in these cases blood is shed in buckets as a new paradigm is rolled
out “in the name of the people”. The new paradigm is often the diametric opposite of
the preceding one. It is this polarity that so transfixes the meatbody
multitude: the white versus the black. Rarely does gray seem very appealing. There
are groups that are especially adept at bringing this contrast into focus because in this contrast there is revenue for the few. Only in harmony is there
is revenue for the many. The dynamics are simple, but the manipulations complex.
The meatbody has a major flaw (beyond the sluggishness of his body; and
the fickleness of his mind): his predilection for entertainment over truth. If
he can be entertained – though deluded – he will take it over fact, any day of the week. And that is all a manipulator needs to know.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You will be helpless
for many years before you can even articulate that you are helpless. You will merely cry
for what it is you want </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">–</span> or rather, what it is your meatbody craves, needs or
desires. Your awareness will be
entirely intertwined with the bio-mechanisms of your meatbody. In fact, you will
scarcely be able to contain its regulatory processes: excrement will flow
unhindered from your rear, and vomit from your front whenever it suits the
necessities of your meatbody. You must live encapsulated in this manner for
several years before your freewill – if it can be called so – will have a
chance to manifest itself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Meanwhile, you will depend on the ministrations – or mercy,
as the case may be – of senior meatbodies. If you are lucky, these meatbodies
will be She who birthed you <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and He who assisted in your conception. He and She are counterpart meatbodies. They
developed from helpless miniature meatbodies such as yours and over
the years evolved higher levels of motor, intellectual and communication
skills, allowing them to interact with other Hes and Shes in a way that will elude you for some time yet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The He-to-She, He-to-He and She-to-She interactions constitutes the pallet
of life upon which you will be engaged. HS, HH and SS interactions are
differentiated in many respects, but emotion and custom play a central role.
Driven primarily by the underlying impulse to generate meatbody progeny, the HS
interaction can be complex and at times tumultuous, in general much more so than
HH and SS interactions which are not subject to the regenerative impulse –
<i>correction</i>: HH and SS interaction can be injected with regenerative impulse, but biological
constraints limit such interaction to mere impulse, yielding no progeny, but this is a subject for another time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The HS interaction, if it coalesces around the regenerative
impulse, is not merely functional but depends upon a long term cooperation that can extends up to several decades, wherein one or several miniature
meatbodies (a “baby”, so called) is helped to evolve into a senior meatbody who
in turn will engage HS relationships to secure progeny of its own. Such is
the cycle of life. And such is the cycle of consciousness on this place you
have selected for your journey. Earth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I sketch it simplistically here as
not to confuse you with details early on, for this is merely –<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as is said in meatbody vernacular – “the tip
of the iceberg”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An iceberg is a large
hydro-coagulant whose large buoyant volume is concealed from sight below
the surface; only its relatively small tip is apparent to the meatbody eye for
consideration. It is a good metaphor for the existence of a meatbody, for a
meatbody can experience only the tip of a cognitive iceberg and the rest will never be known to him. E.g.
the meatbody field of vision registers only 430 to 770 THz on an electromagnetic spectrum<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> that </span>extends, for practical purposes, ad infinitum. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However, despite its limitations, you will consider </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">that your experience is perfect and panoramic. Y</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">ou will imagine that there is nothing else in
the world to see, touch, smell and feel but that which is within your reach and
line of sight. Such is the arrogance of the meatbody. Such are the certainties
that enslave him. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">And do not expect wisdom to come with age; on the contrary, these notions are only reinforced as your faculties begin to
dwindle over time. The reasoning will be that cognitive fidelity can only deteriorate if its initial state was perfection. I imaging you are probably already
starting to think this way, constrained and inarticulate as you are </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">in your miniature
meatbody</span>. But just wait until you are
eighteen, throbbing with bio-stimulants </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– </span>testosterone and adrenaline </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– </span>your
whole life before you and every cell in your meatbody pulsing with the thrill
of regeneration. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You yourself must never appear anywhere on the stage. You must stay
as far away from it as you can. You must only place upon it actors that know
the rules of the game. Do not admit any conciliatory voices. One side must
always be framed as the victim; the other side as the oppressor. This only
works if you install such duality that can never be resolved. Insist on this
duality. Never permit the victim-hood of one side and oppressor status of the
other to be challenged. It is integral to this method that a black and white
duality be installed. Admit no gray area. And do not, under any circumstances, permit
the victim side to come to the table admitting some responsibility for its
plight. This leads to resolution. This is not what we are looking for. There must be a duality; no responsibility must be taken, ever!
Instead, charges must be laid against the oppressor and restitution demanded.
And its enforcement must come from the oppressor. That is key. The oppressor
must enforce his own curtailment. Once self-enforcement is enacted into law, the duality
is consummate and you will have state-sanctioned victim-hood which will ensure (through programs and government schemes) that this status will persist for many generations. This is social lockdown. This is what what we are aiming for. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You can only do the
above if you control the debate. To do that you must control the actors on the
stage. Make sure these actors are well paid and promised careers. If you have smut on them, all the
better. In any case, never permit them to stray from the victim-oppressor duality.
When this duality is firmly installed in the mind of the masses you will see
that it will engender a culture, and where you have a culture you have a way of
life, and way of life - especially if it permits the avoidance of responsibility - will spread like no kind of propaganda
you have ever seen.</span></div>

on matters thou knowest naught of.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You’re going to tell
me what I know and what I don’t know? It doesn’t take special insight or a personal
history of deprivation to see that this country is going down the tubes. The
government is an elite-run special interest club. Everybody knows it. I don’t
take money from these people. And everybody knows that too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Thou dost not take
their coin, but thou dost build castles for their dwelling. Trompe towers, golf
courses and casinos offer naught to the common man.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You don’t know what
you’re talking about. It’s called employment. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Nay, <i>exploitation. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’ve hired and fired more people
than can fit in this building. Sure, not all of them were happy, but
many were and many went on to have good careers, and now they play on my golf courses. That’s life. The hurt feelings of one
or the other should not become some kind of barometer by which we gauge the
rightness of a situation. And we sure as hell shouldn’t base policy on them. It’s
called business. You win some, you lose some.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">‘Tis a dismal existence
wrought from the metal of business alone. There is </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">more </span>to life than work and remuneration.
There is compassion and goodwill, of which it appears thou hast been but poorly
endowed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You’re confusing
things. You think that because I don’t like handouts and I’m tough on immigrants
that this makes me uncompassionate. Think again. Do you think that hand-outs
ever made anyone happy? They never have. They may have made people comfortable
for a while, but no one ever feels accomplished and positive from things that
are not the fruit of his own labor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Spake the man born
with a silver spoon in his mouth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Says the guys
speaking to me in Elizabethan English.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You don’t learn to speak like that in East Baltimore, my friend. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">My diction doth not reflect
my origins. I am of simple descent. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That’s fine, but then
may I say that you sure have done what you can to elevate yourself. And I
commend you. The fruit of your labor. You’re the kind of guy I want on my team… that is, if we can do
something about your low energy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Commendations from
thee are neither desired nor appreciated. And membership to thy organization is
as loathsome to me as carbuncle soup. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Hey keep my family
out of it! Hehe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Pressing on. Thy
obsession with partitions and segregation – </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Excuse me, segregation,
what segregation? I took 46% of the Hispanic vote in Nevada. As for “partitions”,
not a partition, my friend, a WALL. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Should not men be
free to seek happiness far and wide, not merely in the nation whence they originate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Man is free. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sounds good, but it’s
a load of you-know-what. By that logic the worst and most depraved should be allowed
to relocated to the most prosperous areas so that they may have a chance to be
happy. That's how you set up a race to the bottom. You don’t get excellence. You can’t bring
in a million people with completely different cultural baggage, most with very
little to no formal education, into an advanced society and imagine somehow
that this is going to go well. Bring in excellent, civilized people, you will
get excellence. Bring in scum, you get scum. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Thou reekest of
fascist-pig, Trompe! Thou wouldst see a man perish ere let him enter thy fortified
nation state. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’ll help him succeed
in his own country. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’ll help bring
peace to his war ravaged country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Trompe? A bringer of
peace? What hilarity! Buffoon and imbecile <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">have </span>conjoined in thee. Hast thou not seen thy wayward
carping on <i>The Apprentice</i>? What bizarre notions spewest thou. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Fact and fiction, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>friend. You guys all love mixing those up
whenever it suits you. There’s a name for your kind of folk: the Social Justice
Warrior, defender of the minority over and above all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That <i>is</i> the
essence of a constitutional republic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">But not the way you guys
play it. The way you play it it’s more like selective egalitarianism. Everyone
is equal to everyone else, except the people you don’t like, which for some
strange reason happens to be your own kind – although even that can be explained
if you look at the people funding your operations, but let me not get into that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Thou speakest deep from
the well of a turbid mind. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No, <i>you </i>do. In your
little SJW brain, your narrative is more important than what happens on the
ground. Let me give you an example: over in Europe, when you guys read about
hundreds of migrants in Cologne groping German women in a coordinated attack on New
Year’s eve – all confirmed in police reports – your gut told you not to go
there because it didn’t fit your egalitarian narrative with its imposed soft-spot
for all things underprivileged; and also, most importantly, because you have to avoid anything that
might make you look like a racist. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather a disfiguring disease than appear
racist. The facts on the ground don’t matter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Listen, </span>I don’t care what your narrative tells
you, but no one fleeing a war ravaged country, as you say, is going to
behave so god awful badly in their host country UNLESS, they are, well, scum. You see, we
are not all interchangeable and we are not all equal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Buffoonery, racism
and xenophobia: Trompe’s policy-triptyque. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Trip- </span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>what? You
haven’t addressed the question. You’re a propagandist with a slippery
Elizabethan tongue. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Ha! Says the king
propagandist. No viler demagoguery hath soiled the American political
stage as that which thou hast excreted from thy foul mouth the past six
months. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Did I offend you?
Not politically correct enough for you? Better get used to it Elizabeth, there's more of that coming </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Life has a way of
teaching lessons. It often does it in a long-drawn and convoluted way. It
does not pinch your ear and drag you to a blackboard to instruct you. It might
just make you stumble enough to look down at the shit you are standing in, and
if that is not enough, set a pothole in your path to effect the same. But much
time must pass before it draws a tripwire outright to ensure that you fall flat
on your face. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Eventually though,
it does. And when you fall like that, you know! It stinks and it sometimes requires much effort to get back up, but it is usually so obvious and well deserved that some part
of you is grateful for the opportunity to bury your nose in the dirt and smell the
error of your ways. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Man likes to be
instructed even if the instruction is harsh. Of course, some never learn and
prefer instead to burrow further into the ground, dig tunnels under other
people’s feet and undermine their fellow Man. But most people get back up,
wipe themselves clean and move forward. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Getting back up and
moving forward is largely a personal effort and an execution of will, but if
you are lucky there will be a few people around to give you a helping hand.
They will not be great in number and they will not always be those you
expected, but they will be there. They are the winds in your back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">2015 was a very good year. A

round and flat. Imagine you are sitting on a landmass so extensive that you cannot see
its edge, and its edges are so inhospitable that even the most intrepid among us could venture far within them: an endless expanse of ice with no refuelling stations
and temperatures of forty or fifty below zero. And imagine that from this circular edge
extends up and around a vast dome made of a material as unyielding and impenetrable
as diamond. And imagine that within this capsule all the activities and happenstance
of life transpires. Imagine that you are sitting at terrace on a sunny day on a
Parisian boulevard minding your own business. Imagine that you are looking up at a crystal clear
sky when you see in the far far distance a speck rising up to the heavens. The
distance makes it appear that it is not rising fast, but you can easily surmise
that it is probably barrelling up at Mach 3 or 4. As you bring your espresso to
your lips, keeping your eye on the projectile, you suddenly see it stop and
explode. The explosion is a mere blip from where you are sitting, but when the
flash dies the projectile is no more. </span><br />

newsflash on CNN in the corner of your eye. An experimental commercial

was an unmanned flight. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If I could extract
from you every Joule of energy by the action of a lever, I would not hesitate
to press it down as long as you have breath in your lungs. Alas, I cannot take
anything by force, but must manipulate you into offering it as an act of freewill. You
might still think I would prefer to drink your blood, but I would not. No, no,
no, there is no medium more effective to channel energy from your
bosom into mine than the medium of human emotion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Human emotions are subtle and manifold. Some are intense like rage, some
seemingly dull, like apathy. But an emotion’s conductivity is not measured
by its extravagance or “loudness”; it’s measured by its negativity. All conductive emotions are
negative. There are no known positive conductive emotions. This is not to say
that positive emotions do not have merit. They can sometimes serve as
a springboard from which to send you plummeting to depths you would not otherwise
sink to. Only from such depths could I extract from you certain samples of
human hopelessness and despair. But such techniques must be employed with caution:
these depths are not bottomless; there is always death, and a dead man produces
no emotion of any kind, positive or negative. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Let’s keep it
simple. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">To begin, you must
be sure to place your man at a constant disadvantage (men and women alike). Caloric extraction works
rather like electricity: there must be a positive and negative pole for the
current to flow in any direction. To ensure that it flows in yours, you must
maintain your man in a permanent state of disadvantage. By contrast, you
yourself must always be positive. At the very least, outwardly; what you feel
inside is of no consequence. You must always seem upbeat and winning, while
your man must always, in some fashion or other, be losing. To highlight this,
you must on occasion extend to him a straw for him to clutch at; it might serve
to heave him partially out of the swirling water, but only so long as to give a
positive emotional fluctuation. This is to be catalytic at best, but never let
it lead him to safety. By definition the straw must break. How soon you wish this
to occur is left to your discretion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The preferred
emotional bracket is fear, anxiety, despair, longing and guilt. These are most
readily accessible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is beyond the
scope of this exposé to comment on all of these in detail. Suffice to
say that each emotion has its particular wavelength, intensity and taste. Much as
you may prefer fish over meat, I too have my preferences. I tend to go for the “stickier” emotions; emotions that enforce a certain adhesion or dependency…
on <i>ME</i>. To wit: guilt and longing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Guilt is perhaps my
favorite. It is, indeed, practically a lever I can push down, so easily is it fabricated,
so easily multiplied. There is no fonder taste than the taste of guilt. Saccharin
and bitter at once. It is not even necessary for your man to squirm under it;
it is quite enough to watch him drop his head at his imaginary wrongdoing. The
procedure is simple: anything you do is to be minimized with one of a hundred
pat justifications. Anything your man does is slipped under the magnifying
glass and blown out of proportion. It is important to constantly harp on a selected
grievance, regardless its pertinence or truth. Repetition is key. Lay down the
narrative; work it hard and then draw down the guilt straight into your gullet.
<i>Yum</i>. Oh, and one more thing: never, ever, <i>ever</i> forgive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Longing. This is a wonderful
tactic and can provide a heady flow of emotional calorie. However, it may
require that you interact with your man <i>en nature</i>. Let us not beat
around the bush: you must be intimate, as you must instate physical longing.
Once in place, it is quite wonderful and vampiric. You will watch him grovel
and act like a monkey and be quite beside himself with desire, and it will be child’s
play to squeeze out of him any measure of caloric bounty. The procedure is
elegant and simple: never offer anything; shun as a matter of course, but in random and
infrequent instances open up in a show of abandon. This will place your man on a
wrong footing and lay him bare to wholesale vampirism. These Joules can be
sour, at times even vitriolic, but they are perhaps the finest. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The pallet is so much
broader than the above, and there are many sub-emotions as succulent as these headliners,
but the principles for extraction are the same: it is a zero sum game; always remain on the
right side the zero; smile a lot and win. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What you do is you
start a bank, then by sleight of hand you convince everyone that while you only
have 10 units of coin in your coffers you can lend out 100 or even a 1000. It’s
called fractional reserve banking. It’s legal. It means that you suddenly have
10-100x more money than you originally had. Then, once you have this funny money,
lend it out but demand that it be repaid with real money, plus interest of
course. You can do this at a small scale in your community, but once you get
really good at it you can institute it a national level with a central bank.
Most countries have a central bank that’s tied into the network of central
banks; the few countries that weren’t tied in, like Yugoslavia and Libya, were –
shall we say – chastised and brought into line. So once you have a central
bank linked into the network you can cause all kinds of disruptions across
the whole system – sorry, let me say that differently: WE can cause
disruptions across the system, including in YOUR country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However, sometimes monetary
disruptions are not enough because people are smart and they start to
circumvent the system with barter, alternative currencies and other fanciful
ideas. Then you need to act physically through the other limb on this beast:
politics. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If you’re dealing
with a dictatorship in a Middle Eastern or African country, a nice way to do it
is to roll in this large horse called democracy. Fill it with a bunch of
backward religionist crazies </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– actually, just fill it with any group that wants power, it really doesn't matter who they are </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– </span></span>fund and arm them, give them a lofty name and then
send them out on the streets. At the same time, ensure that you have a hip-sounding
slogan that the “empowered” youth can cling onto, and then bombard social media
with it; anyone who’s anyone will want to be part of this great movement. So
roll in the horse with the crazies, get the Starbuckers hip to the idea and
then roll out the plan. It sounds a bit disorderly, but that's precisely what you want. Disorder. We
have organizations in these countries that can stage-manage these things. They
are called NGOs. A lot of hip people want to work for NGOs. I swear, we get
thousands of applicants a week. There’s no lack of volunteers. They don’t cost much, they
are mostly useful idiots that work for nothing and have no idea who and what they’re
subverting. It works well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Of course, if you
actually want to move in physically you cannot do anything without
international buy-in. We cannot deploy our arsenal without the fat slob on the
couch and the social justice warrior on TV giving us a thumbs-up – it’s
unbelievable but it is like that – so we must demonstrate to these clowns that
action is necessary. This is where the media comes in. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What you do is, during
the media-fed frenzy, you throw in a few <i>agent-provocateurs</i> to throw
rocks and Molotov cocktails. People get hurt and <i>bingo,</i> the local law
enforcement gets heavy handed and we have it on video. Usually that is not
enough, but you can always get one of the local opposition groups to commit a
false flag; promise them power and they’ll do just about anything. They want “democracy”
so badly they are willing to use deception and force <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to install it. Don’t ask questions, it just works. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So now we have
skirmishes and tension, and all eyes on country X. We want that. This is
important. Keep fires blazing all the time. Never let people look inward. Always
keep fires blazing somewhere. <u>It’s very important because it keeps eyes off
of us.</u> Keep up the strategy of tension, but if you really want to bring a
large body of people under control it is not enough to keep their <i>minds</i>
occupied with tension, you need to enter them into the fray either voluntarily
as a <i>fait accompli.</i> In non-Western countries, you can usually just buy a
Security Council resolution and do as you please. But in Western countries you
can’t do that. Large scale invasions wouldn’t stand these days. Outward
aggression is still recognized as such. So you must be more subtle than that.
Do not use outward aggression in your backyard. You must subdue the people
differently. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You do it like this: just
get everybody to agree on certain principles, and make sure that disagreeing
with these principles is at first frowned upon and eventually grounds for social
exclusion and ostracism. You have to build that up by gradualism. It takes a
generation or two. Make sure that a person’s standing in society becomes dependent
on his endorsement of these principles. This is subtle and requires that the
dissemination and upholding of these principles be institutionalized and their
enforcement “policed” until people start to police themselves. You will not need
a thug with a ski mask to do this; a little lady with a website will be quite
enough to shame people. Once you have created this culture, be sure to
expand it and to harmonize it as widely as possible. It will take some work and
a lot of it will be performed in the media because you must erode long-standing traditions. Of course, you will have one thing in your favour:
people die and traditions die with them. The generations that follow will not
know, let alone embrace these traditions. They will be far more responsive to
the passive-aggressive threats of the little old lady than to any real outward
threat, because – as you will discover – the threat of ridicule is so
overwhelmingly crippling to a Westerner that he would rather forsake reason
than to bear even for an instant this unpleasantness. This is a weakness that
you must prey on. Once you have instituted this, you will officially have yourself
a politically correct society. It’s wonderful. It’s like a floppy rag-doll you
can prick pins into at will. Also, it costs virtually nothing! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Meanwhile, back in
the tension-zone, our people will be supporting opposition groups, possibly
with weapons but not necessarily. It is actually best to let things happen
“organically” e.g. to incite repressive elements in the country and get some
footage of ensuing violence, especially on women and children. You must try to
have all German housewives crying, desperate with historical guilt; let them beg
their leaders to help X, Y and Z per the footage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Footage is
remarkably effective. We did it recently. Children die by the thousands daily –
THOUSANDS and in the most horrendous conditions of slavery, famine and so on –
but we put our money on this piece of footage – it wasn’t even footage, just a
single photo of a Syrian boy who drowned trying to escape with his idiot-father
from one of our tension-zones. We knew it might have traction because it had
the right elements. Of course, we ordered all our captured-outlets like the BBC
to flog this and, if possible, spruce it up with sound effects and the right voice-tonalities,
but we had no idea it would spread so virulently. Sometimes we are amazed at
the effectiveness even of our own tactics and how benighted and hypnotized is
our target audience. Sidebar. The point being, you get some footage,
disseminate it, you pull at heart strings, you demonize opposition based on the
policed-principles (abovementioned), and once the fat-slob and the social
justice warrior are on-board, you can do as you please. The fat slobs are the fatuous
horde at the rear; while the SJWs are the shrill frontline of your “free” army
of idiots. Simple media propaganda can override even the most well-reasoned
argumentation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As a general rule, do
not concern yourself with logic. We are in an era of rhetoric. That is the only
thing that matters. You will never once hear a statistic cited as a reason to
act. But you will see an unverified piece of footage be used for that very
purpose. Do not bother with logic. Logic is effete. It’s for academics. Just
follow the rule: the greater the tension, the greater the thrust. Do not worry
about intellectual footing and legitimacy. So if you want to overrun Europe
with refugees you must create a huge amount of tension, not a logical argument.
The tension is the fuel; it propels the agenda. If your agenda is to overthrow
a government, you will need a vast force. If your agenda is mass-displacement of
peoples, you will likewise need a vast compelling force. Simply put: TENSION=FUEL.
But when you ignite that fuel, you better know what direction it’s pointing in;
you better have a plan, otherwise it can blow up in your hands. We have had this
happen to us, for instance, when we fucked with the Russians. People can be aimless
– this we can deal with <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– <u>but <i>we</i>
cannot</u>. We have to know what we want. In this case we are aiming for a broad-scale
destabilization of Europe. It is not in our interest to have these large
ethnically homogeneous nations in Europe. We cannot have that. It is not
possible to control such units even with interlinked central banks. It is much
easier to control countries that are struggling with constant and intense
internal strife. Cohesion is not in our interest, at least not cohesion as defined
by national self-determination. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Now, you may find this
difficult to believe, but all of this can be done from a very high level with
very little exposure. You will recall from history<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that some very important transformations were
fomented as off the books black-operations. Remember, it is MUCH easier to
create tension than it is to create harmony. Look at what happened in
Paris.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple of months of planning, a
few useful idiots and the entire city is locked down and the country is under
martial law. I REPEAT: </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It is very
easy to create tension.</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Very very easy
and very, very cheap. Furthermore, tension you can do in the dark; harmony you
must create in the light of day. So it is fortunate that we are not interested
in the latter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">To get to practical
matters, what will you need to create tension? Well, you will need many things,
but you will need this first and foremost: MONEY. No one works for free, and
even if they do, they still need to eat and, if they are armed, they need to be
supplied and resupplied. There is no escaping it. There will always be a need
for MONEY and there will ALWAYS be people who are willing to kill for it. Luckily
we have money, since we can conjure it out of thin air and multiply it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If I were foolish
enough to suggest to our enemies a means to root us out and lay bare our plot, I
would tell them simply this: if you want to find out who we are then follow the
age-old adage: <i>Follow the money</i>.
And if in the process of your </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">investigations</span> you get lost and confused, then I would
tell you to follow an even older adage: <i>cui bono?</i> – who benefits? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">But would I be so
stupid to cast pearls before swine? </span></div>

<![endif]-->W<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">hat is known is
that you woke up this morning, meaning that you went from a state of – let’s
call it incognizance <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to a state of
<i>relative </i>cognizance. Relative because if it were absolute we would not be
having this conversation. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes. I guess so. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Only in this state can
you heave yourself out of bed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Not completely
true. There are somnambulists – </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’m speaking in
general terms. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In general terms,
yes.</span></i><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So you heave
yourself out of bed – by <i>yourself </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not mean <i>you</i>, but the large
bio-vehicle you command – by the way, why are you all so large?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We’re not large –
I mean, I'm not large. I only weigh 80 kilos. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I didn’t say heavy,
I said large. But never mind, we’ll get to that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So now you’re out of bed and the first thing
you do is thrust this thing under a jet of lukewarm water. You do this daily,
is that correct? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes – mostly. Although
sometimes on weekends, when I have friends over– </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Just the general
outlines, please. Now. I noticed that while you are doing this, a radio is switched on
automatically upstairs, as well as another machine from which a dark brown
liquid percolates down into a receptacle.
All outside your cognizance and volition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That’s correct. It
saves me time.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Time being important
to accommodate so called “plans”, correct? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Correct. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These plans are conceived
somewhere within the bio-vehicle. Would that be a correct statement? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Perhaps within a
sanctum of some kind? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Maybe.</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You don’t know? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">An unknown?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Never concerns you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Never gave it any
thought? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Maybe once or
twice. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Interesting. Moving
on. Would I be correct in calling these so called plans “future imaginings”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That would be
appropriate, yes. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Would you say that
to conceive these imaginings you draw from experiences and align these with
theoretical knowledge you have observed and taken to be true?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I would say that
is correct. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Please, drink your
liquid. Take your time. I assume your bio-vehicle needs fuel now and again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This is not fuel.
This is coffee. It serves no such purpose. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Fine. So just to
recapitulate, you go through 24 hour cycles, during which your cognizance is eclipsed
at least once for an extended period of time while your bio-vehicle is “recharged”
(for lack of a better term) more or less in phase with celestial movements of
the sun. Is this correct?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The sun doesn’t
move relative to us. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">A theoretical
assumption. Case in point. No matter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question is, are you OK with that? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What do you mean?
</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I mean are you
content with these circumstances? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Well, I mean – wait, I don’t understand. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Are you satisfied
with this life? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Of course. I wouldn’t mind sleeping a little less, but <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>anyway, there’s much more to it than that. You're simplifying it. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We’ll get to the rest. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I noticed a second vehicle next to you this
morning in the same enclosure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That’s my wife?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Excuse me? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The woman I share
my life with. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Why do you do that? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Because I love
her. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What is that? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Love is something
you feel for someone. It makes you want to spend time with the person and be
close. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What is its origin?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What do you mean?
</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Do you possess
knowledge of its causal relation to you. Why this vehicle and not another? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Please don’t call
her a vehicle. Her name is Sarah. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I do not mean to
offend. I have not the nomenclature. Your wife, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>why her? Is there a causal hierarchy amongst
wives?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I don’t know what
you're referring to. We met at university. We just got along. I can’t explain
it. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So you have no
knowledge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Not as such. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Is she also
cyclically-constrained like you are? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Is her cognizance
eclipsed like yours, daily?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes, much more
than mine. She is usually eclipsed – ah God, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>what am I saying – she usually sleeps for like
9 or 10 hours. I only need 7, maybe less. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Does this mean you
are proportionately more knowledgeable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Not at all. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So there is no
relation between the number of hours you are in a state of relative cognizance and
your general level of knowledge? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No. Not really.
She’s actually smarter than I am</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Smarter, meaning? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">She’s faster to
understand things. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So we must conclude
from this that knowledge and time are not correlated. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could have absolute knowledge in a single
instant, or it could take you three hundred thousand years. There is no
positive or negative correlation between time and knowledge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I suppose, who
knows. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So what do you do to
increase your knowledge since, evidently, passive hours of relative-cognizance are
of no help? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I have knowledge.
</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It seems you have a
routine drawn up from experience and theoretical assumptions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Is that how you
describe my life? I have plenty of knowledge. I can disassemble and reassemble
this HAM radio in fifteen minutes. I know that I can run flat-out for 1.2 kilometres. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know exactly what to say
and what not to say to Sarah just based on how she looks at me. Shall I go on?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You are cyclically
constrained; your future imaginings struggle to exceed even a single
decade; you have no knowledge – beyond the desire for proximity –
why you are with your designated wife; your sight does not extend beyond a few hundred meters;
you can barely recall what was said to you yesterday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sorry to say that you are in the dark. I
am not saying this to subdue you. I am merely pointing out the obvious. Could I have some of this substance? I would like to try
it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Of course. It’s a Colombian-Brazilian Arabica blend. Wait, I use this stainless-steel percolator, don't take that stuff.</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What are you doing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I am preheating
your cup. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You seem very
knowledgeable of this fluid and its preparation. It must be very important in
the life of Man. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In fact it is. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes, indeed. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If you do not know
the Social Justice Warrior in your midst it is because he or she (hereafter <i>she</i>)
seems so innocuous that she has not</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">
</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">caught your eye; and you have not
caught hers because you and she have not yet had a social justice run-in. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Once you do, the SJW
will be like a mole digging tunnels under your feet. The stable footing you once
thought you had in a company that has employed you with satisfaction for over
fifteen years will suddenly give way, and you will find yourself neck deep in a
quagmire, seated before a panel of inquiry investigating an alleged
infringement of the company’s Code of Conduct by <i>YOU</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What the f..! </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">An innocuous social
justice warrior saw it fit to report you to the head of Human Resources, who promptly
conducted confidential interviews with the aggrieved co-worker to ascertain the
veracity of the claims made against you. Now she is interviewing you to
ensure that she has a “balanced” view upon which to adjudicate this
“delicate matter”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You are sitting in
front of three SJWs, one has her head </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">titled</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> at a ten to fifteen degree angle, </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> permanently, </span>suggesting pity
or contempt, it is hard to tell which. Beside her are two minions
from Human Resources, gorging on their own self-righteousness, emboldened by the
prospect of fighting social injustice <i>here and now</i>. After all, before
them is seated a seething sexist, likely homophobe and potential anti-Semite,
what with those blue eyes and all. It is best therefore that they have
never spoken to him or sought his company.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">sexist, </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">homophobic,
anti-Semite, is <i>you</i>, in case that failed to register. You are
being investigated for sexist remarks in the workplace. The other charges are glowering in the wings, ready to pounce should
the sexist thing not stick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You are being investigated
for pronouncements made during a conference attended by yourself and a
co-worker. The circumstances of these pronouncement was drinks at a bar after
the conference with male, co-conferencees. The co-worker in question was a woman. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Four beers into aforementioned
drinks, a co-conferencee notes that the sheer dearth of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“good looking chicks” at such conferences is
“inhumane”. All but the co-worker guffaw in acknowledgement at this stark
truth, until – realizing there's a woman in the group – all back pedal, and
in unison pronounce: <i>except you, of course. </i>An awkward silence ensues. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That’s it. That’s
all of it. From thereon it was polished and politic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Now you are being
fingered for sexist statements made in the workplace. Tilty-head notes sternly that
such statements are “problematic and not in keeping with the company’s Code of
Conduct”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Would you
consider apologizing to the co-worker for making such statements? </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Apologize?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For what? </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For implying that
she is unattractive, making her feel uncomfortable, and suggesting that conferences are for picking
up women, or as you say “chicks”.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The former was
never directly stated, but is an opinion to which I am entitled, and for which
I could not in good conscience apologize under these circumstances. The latter was
not implied by the statement which (by the way) I did not make, but merely concurred
with. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The two minions cannot
contain their indignation. <i>How dare he.</i> Had they been dogs not humans, foam
would have gathered on their lips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We would
like you to rethink this in a broader context <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of inclusiveness and seriously consider apologizing. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Titly-head scrawls
notes on a notepad, struggling to appear professional in what seems increasingly
like a gag.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You think back on
the beers and the jocular co-conferencees, and note to yourself that the
statement for which you are being accused by association was very mild, and
that worse things about men are written in glossy magazines every day, but you decide not to
engage her within her frame of reference, and instead simply refuse to
apologize, something you might have done naturally had this “delicate matter” been
brought to your attention in an informal setting, without accusations, minions
and social justice. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Tilty-head is
steadfast. <i>Alright then,</i> <i>I think you’ve made yourself clear. </i>And
closes her notepad. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">That’s it? </span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">you ask.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">. <i>For now.</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The next three
months are a Kakfaesque mini-drama in which you are </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">again </span>summoned before the panel –
expanded with senior (male) executives and their minions –<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to be informed that your behaviour is now "highly problematic" where it was once merely "problematic", and that "all of this" is not going to “go away by refusing to apologize”. The suggestion
being that, apologizing will make it all go away. But you are smart enough to
know that the point is not the apology, the point is legitimizing the speech-police headed by Tilty-head and her minions. The point is the culture. They
need you to consent to their bullshit. If you give in, it will not be over. Next
you will be packed off to sensitivity-training where you will be patronized by
an LGBT-advocate about the merits of diversity, inclusiveness and equality, and
there will be no sense in asking whether guys-talking-like-guys-with-other-guys
can be included in this diverse community of equals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Three months later
you are packing up your office things into a box never to return again. And so
it would appear that they have successfully policed you, three innocuous
seeming SJWs. It
would appear that they have won ground and purged from their midst this
hardened Homo sapiens. It would appear so.</span><br />

your fellow meat-bodies, how fondly you finger your assorted meat-body gadgetry
and with what abandon you penetrate meat-body counterparts, amateur and professional alike. The 3D panorama is indeed there for your enjoyment. Feast on its offerings and the panorama will be commensurately reinforced.
The more you feast, the better you will insert yourself into its texture. The
more you insert yourself into its texture, the more you will feel not merely <i>in</i>
it, but <i>of</i> it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">A million units of coin earned shifting stock across
a digital monitor, buying and selling shares of an enterprise you have never
seen, run by meat-bodies you have never met, producing things you do not need and
do not understand. By the Gods in heaven, gallant spirit, what fortune
has blessed you, to amass coin with such facility? And how fortuitous that your
meat-body-colleague in the Middle East is on the board of said enterprise. As they say amongst the
meat-body mercantile class: <i>fortune favors the bold</i>. </span></div>

the panorama and take further offerings. You will sniff high-tech narco-pharmaceutics, you will drink matured spirits, and you will penetrate top-shelf meat-body counterparts <i>à
volonté</i> – so said in Gallic meat-body vernacular </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">– a</span>nd more generally,

become billions, then you will perhaps be able to purchase your passage to the interior.
The interior of the panorama is where the panorama is projected out and there
is no better place to insert yourself than therein. It is the ultimate
insertion. Perhaps you will be given the chance to dictate parts of the
projection, should you be so blessed.<i>.</i></span></div>

across the panorama like lighting. Nothing to be concerned about. Occasionally,
<i>truth</i> short circuits through – the panorama is not entirely hermetic </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">– </span>but you are doing fine as is; it seems you have not noticed this so far.

to the interior, gallant spirit, you are probably no more than half-dozen
insertions away. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>What never been seen, never has been, </i>goes the thinkin’.
Never mind the visible part of the spectrum is like a mosquito turd on a football field,
never mind nothin’ cause it ain’t a yarn nobody wanna hear. We the only conscious gunners in
the Universe; ain’t nothin’ alive the other side of the Van Allen Radiation
belt; the only livin’ creatures, six billion galaxies and
coutin’. And that's that. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Movin’ forward we
have the cosmology of the snot-face: nothin’ ever change quick to the seein’ eye –
everythin’s slow as a slug – so life's
just one long painstakin’ graduation. Come in dumb as a rock, come out strummin’ to
String Theory. Just a matter of time and the Laws of Nature will graduate your
butt from mono-cell to Albert Einstein - or Nikola Tesla if you prefer. The
great Laws of Nature, study them or not, they’ll school you<i> </i>either
way. <br />
<br />
Fine, so far.<br />
<br />
But now we have us a problem, ‘cause now, snot-face is goin’ around grantin’
exceptions to high-flown ind’viduals up
the peckin’ order. Now we have a high-rise buildin’ in New Amsterdam, buildin’
seven to be particular, hit by nothin’ special, collapsin' at freefall speed
– nearly no resistance met – tumblin' straight down at practically
the rate of a fallin' apple, the great Laws of Nature and six hundred feet of
steel frame and reinforced concrete notwithstandin'. Interestin’ theory. Shame
it’s a lotta horse manure.<br />
<br />
Back in my time, such a falsehood widely peddled, why a youngster would of
risen off his hind-end, dukes up, ready to roust the lyin’ sonofagun. Nowadays,
no sir. Self-satisfied snot-faces gripe and jibe astride laptop computers,
safely ensconced behind their mouthpiece of choice; there are two kinds: the
kind suckin’ on a government nipple, or the kind kissin’ the rump of a large
corporation. Take your pick (a few mouthpieces, exc’ptionly agile, bend over
backwards and do both).<br />
<br />
Here we have snot-face reversin’ the work of the great Laws of Nature, graduatin’
down to superior levels of stupidity: <i>Never seen, never been, </i>become:<i>
what I don’t wanna see, just ain’t</i>.<br />
<br />
He’ll add crutch on crutch to his theory or argue straw man points (<i>it
warn’t exactly freefall</i>), but he won’t look, ‘cause snot-face is too busy
tip-toein’ ‘round the Never-To-Be-Uttered keywords from his cherished <i>PC
Unabridged</i>, the three-volume lexicon of his invisible masters. <br />
<br />
Tread careful snot-face, heaven forbid ridicule should befall you. Worse than
gangrene is ridicule to a snot-face. Sooner death take him than suffer a slight
from a fellow snot-face – and don’t be misled, these critters come in all colors,
shapes and sizes: white, yellow, black, religious, atheist, radical,
reactionary, artist, rebel, progressive, punk, liberal, hetero, homo, trans,
bi, this, that, the other, it matters not.<br />
<br />
A slack-jawed,
pencil-necked, pussy-footin’ gatherin’ o’ school girls* is what we have. And I
thank the spirit in Man there are still some who just ain’t like that.<br />
<br />
For the record, Nikola Tesla was no snot-face. <br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You are navigating a meat-body figurine
that is highly sensitive to pain; and its appended mind, to anguish and
foreboding. Both, figurine and appendage, will be stimulated daily by pictures and
reports of an elusive entity consumed with a desire to cause you pain and anguish, preferably at the
same time, preferably filmed on low resolution video that can be easily
uploaded to the world wide web. But fear not: sweeping laws will be put in place to prevent
you from being hurt; armaments will be amassed to defend against him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You will hear of him by many names, in many tongues, yet you will never see him except on said videos. He will be faceless, but characteristic
enough that you will always and easily be reminded of him: his skin color will
be so and so, and he will be garbed in a fashion that is not your own (like a
ninja, for instance). Recognition is paramount; understanding is secondary, if necessary at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Should any serious questions arise in
your appended-mind as to the nature of this <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">enemy</span>, you will be reminded of the horrors that you yourself
committed – not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you</i>
directly, but the line of figurines from which you descend. You will shudder in
shame thinking of these horrors and conclude that such crimes must never be
committed again, whereupon you will desist from any further inquiry. To
insulate yourself from committing such horrors you will accept to relinquish
your power of choice by delegating to a body of wise men – the same wise men
who sit atop the abovementioned battery of armaments – the power to take
decisions on your behalf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Appended-minds can be easily directed
using certain keywords that stimulate anguish, indignation, fear and other
vectors from the emotional pallet. Keywords, broadly disseminated, are part of
a process called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">propaganda</i>.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Propaganda</span></i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> is employed as a tactic of war, but it is as
readily employed in times of peace. Without a doubt, it is the most effective
weapon in the armament because it remains active for many weeks, even months
after its release, has no identifiable smell and is – to all intents and
purposes – invisible. It functions rather like a gas
spreading into the population. Here’s where you come in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As a member of this population you
will happily volunteer to disperse this gas to peers, repeating keywords such
as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">racists,
terrorist, fascist</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">homophobe,</i> and of
course the most effective of all, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anti-Semite</i>, alluding
to the horrors committed by your cursed forebears. In essence, it functions like a
silencer-gas. Once this gas is inhaled, the individual will be filled with a
sense of outrage and he will disperse this gas further afield, insulating
himself from any critical thinking and silencing those that still practice it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">By way of example: a young girl will
announce to you, as part of a televised keyword-broadcast, that the enemy is pulling live
newborns from incubators (recall the broadcast leading up to the war in Iraq).
Terrible outrage will fill your breast! You will be comforted in the knowledge
that you are not such an incubator-violator, but a good biped figurine with a
sound appended-mind. And it will give you a sense of self-worth to shout down anyone
who does not violently oppose the violators of incubators, but it will never
be questioned whether such things are true.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Truth?</span></i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What is such a thing?</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is not an object; it is<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>simply<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>what IS and what
HAS BEEN. It is therefore by its nature historical. The record-keeping is
something else however; that is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">historiography</i>,
and alas truth is much absent therein. The record is written and propagated by
different factions of meat-figurines, each with their own imperfect
appended-mind, each keen to ensure a certain outcome for themselves in the
future, which is to say that more of their own meat-figurines will be
propagated forward and that more pleasure overall will accrue to them as a
group.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Historiography, peppered with the
right keywords, can elicit in your appended-mind such indignation that it would
not be disturbed by the knowledge that guided missiles are raining down on a
village in, say, Serbia. Filled with such historical outrage, you might even
feel justified in your desire to see the whole population exterminated!<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Oh... uh... wait… what am I saying?
What about the horrors committed by my cursed forebears? Such horrors must
never be repeated!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And so your appended-mind will hastily
conclude, as previously, that you cannot be trusted to think for yourself since
this righteousness in your breast leads to such thinking. Your resolve is
thus strengthened: wise men will decide if it is judicious to exterminate
people, such as in Dresden, Hiroshima, Belgrade, Gaza, to prevent, at all cost, that
the horrors once committed by your cursed forebears should ever be repeated... today... by <i>The</i> <i>E</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">nemy*.</i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Gallant spirit. I have observed you navigate your biped
figurine from afar and I cringe at your self-indulgence. You have thoroughly
identified yourself with your figurine and have forsaken who you are. It is not the upkeep
of your figurine I refer to – although there are other ways to achieve this than
forever expanding and inflating your musculature – nor your recurring self-congratulatory exposés
on social-media channels; nor even the plethora of counterpart bipeds you
have penetrated for purposes of self-gratification.
All of these are the result of uninspected internal impulses, and I suppose one
can be forgiven such as the blindness of youth. But gallant spirit, I must intervene
when I witness you entertain, accept and perpetuate lies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may prop up your figurine with stimulants, distract its
eye and titillate its senses; you may even do away with honor and
respect – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that is your business – but when all of this is imposed upon others, directly or indirectly, through persuasion and inducement,
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>then you become a purveyor of lies.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gallant spirit, when I left you many years ago I admonished
you sternly on one point and one point only. You will recall, if your mind has
not become entirely atrophied from the solar rays absorbed on Cretan beaches, Gin
Tonics imbibed with “friends”, and the endless flicker of chats, tweets and,
updates, you will perhaps recall that I admonished you as follows: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never permit yourself to forget who you are.
</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only have you done that, but you
are now inducing others to do the same. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gallant spirit, you are gallant no more. You are a sirloin
steak on legs; mobile-flesh, sun-bronzed and inflated. You are a seeker of
sensations and a purveyor of the Great Lie. I wish you well twittering inanities;
I wish you wisdom in the insidious palaver you have created around yourself. Lie until you become one with the soil beneath
your feet, if such is your will, but let it extend no further and to none other. </div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You only live once</i>.
People who say such thing often have lots of fun; they take photos of
themselves on beaches, long drink in hand, encircled by friends. Such people
have catalogs of photos on the worldwideweb documenting their funness. The
degree of fun is measured by the number of thumbs-up assigned to such
fun-photos by like-minded fun-lovers. The ultimate FUN has not yet been
identified. The fun-Holy-Grail. The fun-Chalice. The fun at the core of the
human spirit. It has yet to be identified, photographed and LIKED.<i> You only
live once,</i> so you better start before it’s too <br />
late. Be sure to keep a good
record. When you are dead, it will be an important measure of your life’s
value. Do no miss a toe-studded sunset in Tahiti; do not – for the love of God
– miss your bucket-list<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>parachute jump, your
face contorted into grimaces of fun unachievable on land. Let this be your
mission. Your Chalice. Your inner-spearhead. All the world is organized, and all
infrastructure set-up for you to excel<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Stars overhead, leaves rustling, candles,
wine, all that shit that comes with romance. We had that. We had a blanket too and
some food for the morning in case matters evolved and we didn’t make it home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">All of the above is not absolutely
necessary for romance, but you definitely need bodies. You need two. Add
more and there is no romance. You just need two bodies. In my case, hers was type <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">female</i>; mine was type <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">male</i>.
The differences between these are not just physiological; there are emotional
differences too, and not mere discrepancies, big hollering differences. But
that’s another subject altogether, not à propos right this minute. You would do
well, by the way, not to explore these
differences in the middle of romance. In fact, generally speaking, try to keep your
mouth shut. Words aren't a key ingredient. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now. Contrary to what you may believe, setting
is not crucial. You can pick an outcrop overhanging a moonlit bay, or a picturesque
little bridge in the south of France. Don’t waste your time. U</span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">nder the right circumstances</span>, the side of the
road works too: your car breaks down,
it’s a bit cold, you get close, you snuggle... you follow? You don’t need
bays and picturesque bridges. Stick to the rudiments: some stars,
some rustling leaves, maybe a candle. But strictly speaking, you just need two bodies. The rest
is whatever exists between you. And that can be little or infinite. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I am a photon off a breasty woman. I am one
among quadrillions. I do not claim to be special or unique, but I will tell you
that I have no patience for grunting Neanderthals of your kind. I do not like
the look of you and I do like what you do, but it happens I am part of
something bigger than myself, so I do as I am told, I do my job, and that is to
bring <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you</i> the information, whatever
it is, you slobbering lech. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

under very exceptional circumstances: in a vacuum at near zero Kelvin, or under
the sway of a vast gravitational force, the kind of force a middling mind such as
yours cannot fathom, and one that you will never experience either, certainly not
in your current Ken-doll incarnation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Right now I’m slap in the middle of your cornea
- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that see-through cup you scratched
years ago dicking around with that toothpick. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your new-ager friends will probably conceive that I cross
this barriers, “walk through walls”, whatever. I do no such thing. We part ways
here, you fool. Your cornea will emit a photon of its own and pass on the baton,
so to speak. My work is done, but I will continue in the first person,
so as not to confuse you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Where was I? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I’m way down the track now, past your aqueous
humor - through all that gelatin - through your lens, and as we speak I’m hitting
your retina, big guy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Sit still. I’ve done this many times. This
is how it’s done. And I’m not alone, by the way. I describe it as a one-man-show for
your personal edification. In fact we’re plowing into you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">en masse</i>, a trillion brethren in a terrifying hail of photons. You’re
under constant assault</span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">, man</span>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Once the retina’s hit, what happens then
is a mystery. We are reconfigured, realigned, rejigged, use whatever
term you like - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will read it in your “peer
reviewed papers” -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and we are sent willy-nilly
down the optic nerve as an electrical
current. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Suddenly, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">BANG,</i> she <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>appears like a
hologram “before your eyes”. You experience a shudder, glands press out
hormones all over the place and blood rushes down your body to collect in that
pendulous sack you are always fondling. </span></div>

you in blissful serenity. Next thing I know I’m plunged into fleshy mass, deep inside
a heaving Neanderthal. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For what?</i> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Look, I don’t question your ways, I don’t
care, I do my job, but I will say one thing: what I appreciate above all is efficiency
and straightforwardness, so when you’re all done down there please take a
moment to consider if there isn’t a more direct method of observation. If at all possible, extract me from the equation. I have not been schooled in the precise
operations of our kind, but common sense tells me there must be a less
circuitous way! And a more <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">precise</i>
way. Having come from “her” - the object of your
fascination - </span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">let me tell you, you big thumping Neanderthal, </span>what I saw on that screen in the back of you head was not “her”
at all, but something else entirely.</span></div>

days are over amigo. You will need to speak your mind now. Start exercising
your vocal cords. Do not be shy or your needs will not be met. For this you will mostly be dealing with her. You cannot see her because you are a lying on top of her, but that is your mother. No further comment. I’ll let you discover her on your own. </span></div>

and wonder, but with one difference: I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">know</i>
you will fuck up. And when you do - let me tell you this now in case I forget later - you
can count on me, little brother. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">You are in your thirties. You traveled the
globe. You bungee jumped. You studied abroad. You are well educated. You are a
professional and your prospects are good. You know how to enjoy yourself and you
are considered good company. To all outward appearances you are an accomplished
and sociable individual. Not just to outward appearances, you <i>are </i>accomplished and
you <i>are </i>sociable. You are the type of human being many would like to be:
fun, enthusiastic, traveled, smart but not burdensomely.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Plus you have a keen
sense of style and you go out of your way to find just that item, that purse,
that necklace, that thing that looks good with this, this and that, and you
wear those things in the right manner, that is to say, you do not overdress,
you do not underdress, you dress just right. You are entirely balanced. You are
the type of human being everyone dreams of being. You have that mix of humility
and outgoingness that everyone desires. What more could <i>you</i> possibly desire? You have this human being shit down to
perfection. You do not err. You do not dwell on dull or ponderous subjects, you
do not touch on matters that may offend, dismay or put someone on the spot.
This makes you highly appreciated. You have no enemies. You are kind and
gentle. <i>What more do you want?</i> You
are perfect. You are the kind of human being every human being wants to be and
should be. There should be no other type of human being. You are <i>it</i>. There should be no departure from
your sense of humility and outgoingness and festiveness, your
non-confrontational style. Things would be fun. Life would be fun. There would
be no wars. You are someone people admire. You are a standard. No one ever
doubts your intentions are good. You are intentions <i>are</i><b> </b>good<i>.</i> You are in many ways a perfect being. <i>The </i>perfect being.
You radiate this perfection. You traveled the globe. You studied abroad. You bungee
jumped. You have that mix of humility
and outgoingness that everyone desires.</span></span><br />

What you have done (or not done) during
this period probably means a lot to you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Perhaps you are pondering
this right now. Perhaps you have done nothing else but ponder this for days.
Perhaps you are saying to yourself that you should have done more, lived more, loved
more, spoken your heart, reached out to her or to him, broken some habits and started
new ones, and so on and so on. Or perhaps you are sitting back in the satisfaction of a job well done; or you are a list-maker and you are not interested in looking back at all, only in
itemizing what is yet to come.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Because your inner world is much more
interesting than any of that. It is bigger than any terrifying vastness. No
measure can circumscribe it. No one thought can encapsulate it. Your ideas can
be boundless or they can fit on the head of a pin. Any limitation, any boundary
is your own, placed there by your own hand, kept there by your own hand. </span></div>
