Text Dump
Misc ideas that come to me:
// I just dump things in here. It’s really messy
// don’t read this page, it’s all garbage, I use it kind of like a drop box lol
// sometimes it’s just snippets for conversations
// umm, don’t take it as literal truth, just misc
// if you are new to my blog, go to the start here page, and maybe read the first 4 articles in order. It will bring you up to speed. The posts “letter to Larry, through to “not a hivemind guy” are the most important imo.

Disclaimer:
Umm. The text dump is full of stuff that might not reflect what I think. Sometimes I just throw stuff into it. Seriously. Be careful reading it. It might give you the wrong idea. The best stuff is mostly “background stories, misc stories, how I got this way part 2 etc” the stuff accessed from the front page.
Things I like is very good, if you want to know what sort of person I am.
Attack and arrest, background stories, misc stories, microblog entries (most recent 2-3), Copthorne hotel, how I got this way part 2 are all good. Things I like is good. First few paragraphs of sport/martial arts post. Letter to Larry is essential (first one I did iirc). Disambiguation post is excellent.
Philosophy and psychology isn’t very good. Syndicate post has a good first segment, then it is all garbage.
Books I have read is messy, and will give you the wrong idea about my point of view if you use it for “ideology”. But it has some stuff in it about games and podcasts I like, that lets you get insight into personality.
Open letter and repurposed souls are a bit messy. Open letter is sloppy, but still worth looking at (sort of).
The text dumps and garbage heap are pretty hard to get useful info from sometimes.
Not a hivemind guy will give you some ideas about how I feel (I hate having electronic ai fingers stuck into my brain). I really don’t like the tech and interface. I don’t like my brain being connected to a computer 24/7
Fwiw, have been badly misrepresented

When I was in my teens, my father thought that white women his own age weren’t attractive enough, and chased after Asian women in their twenties (or younger). I confronted him, and he responded, “Have you seen women my age” with a look of disgust!?
He was really cosy with the Kapiti foreign language school. A lot of Asian language students (early 20s I think??) Asian fever lol.
He’d take pictures of the women he met, and obsessively show them off!? It was weird. All Asian!?
I thought it was just midlife crisis because of splitting up with Mum…?? But then tomoe moved in… ahhhhh
The language school was in the coastlands mall, Kapiti.
My parents split up at age 13. I moved to Kapiti at age 15
When Tomoe Takahashi and Paul got together, she was 18/19 and he was about 39/40. They were together for about 3 years?
**
We used to have tons of language school students living with us. We called them homestay students. They helped financially, because Dad’s shop wasn’t that successful. Dad still has them students stay at his house sometimes, or at least used to. They were a mix of male/female. When I was 16/17 they stopped bringing in female students (because teenage guy in house?). But my father always preferred female students. He has a disdain for male students. He found them to be annoying and/or messy. Sort of.

Amanda majored in criminology and social policy at university. Her honours year was in criminology. Her studies included sociology, psychology, social policy, criminology, policing and a bit of gender and women's studies. Including one paper on feminist activism. She was more oriented towards criminology and social policy.
When I was in university, I sat in on some of her lectures, and did some of her readings. Later in life, I would still read some of her textbooks and old readings. I also did a bit of focused reading in criminology (ie, went to the library to get legit books written by legitimate criminology). I used to read books written by academics for fun and self improvement.
My background was a commerce degree in accounting and finance, but with some economics. I did wide reading in economics. It was an area of special interest to me. I have done a lot of reading and self directed study in history (including open Yale courses).
Please see “things I like” for more information. And also try to find someone reading lists in the “garbage dump”.

I used to like spoken work audio from approx 2012 to 2016. But then after the thing that happened in 2016, someone would tighten my torso muscles whenever I listened to spoke words audio. The longer I listened, the worse it got.And so I stopped listening to spoken word audio. Umm. I thought it was just an automatic response to spoken word audio (I didn’t know about “abrades” at that point.)
They conditioned me to stop listening to something I liked. I just couldn’t use spoken word audio any more. I used to listen to: Snap judgement, npr radiolab, this American life, back story, librivox, thinking aloud, in our time, Melvyn Bragg), Bugle, tons of audio books, a lot lot of tech podcasts. A lot of science fiction.
They (Joseph) did something similar to me whenever I tried to have a conversation with someone 2016-2023. I couldn’t have a proper conversation (some conversations were okay).
****
Try looking at it this way:
This is just one angle
Go back 9 years…
A group of people were responsible for damaging me:
Paul, Matthew, Siobhan, Brynn, Amanda, Anna, Joseph, and about 50 others associated, who could profit.
They broke my body, and kept it broken for seven years. Age 27 - 34. (2016-2023). Torso integrity is compromised”. My life was hell.
Hypothetically speaking, Why should I want to sleep with the women of that set?
I didn’t even know about “abrade technology” back then (2016–2023).
My story is written in my blog, piece meal. It is hard to put together, but a lot of it is there.
If people don’t know my story???! Why do they have a point of view!!?!?

At 19, I liked social democracy (aka, the third way).
But I feared big government socialism. Such as ussr style communism and Chinese Maoist socialism. FWIW, Some of my family were refugees from the Soviet Union.
As for Ayn Rand…
I always thought that objectivism was lame.
But that capitalism was good. Capitalism is more nimble..?
But I thought there was some merit to small government (minarchism), as opposed to big government. Because of fear of encroachment upon individual liberty. Ie, socialism is dangerous.
Communism kills people: like “mao the unknown story”, also I thought naziism was bad too. I grew up with Christian stories about the evils of both communism and nazism. Communism kills tons of people. Stalin was awful, the holodomor was awful, cultural revolution was awful, and Mao managed to starve 15 to 55 million people to death. In peace time lol.
If you have a small government, you don’t end up with mega psycho communism?
When young, I believed that “collectivism” taken too far was dangerous.
By about 21ish, I thought that small government, classical liberal, capitalism stuff was the way to go. Please dont argue too much, it’s not the right format to discuss. Vaguely libertarian I guess.
Socialism/communism is dangerous, because it kills people: see ussr, and Mao, and pol pot, and Africa..? But at least capitalism doesn’t do that?
I wasn’t all that politically sophisticated, but yeah.

Accelerated Christian Education (also known as School of Tomorrow) is an American company which produces the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE, styled by the company as A.C.E.) school curriculum structured and based around a literal interpretation of the Bible and which teaches other academic subjects from a Protestant fundamentalist or conservative evangelical standpoint. Founded in 1970 by Donald Ray Howard and Esther Hilte Howard, ACE's website states it is used in over 6,000 schools in 145 countries. Started in Texas, now headquartered in Tennessee.

Understand some history. Read 100 books from your library about history. Go to open Yale, Listen to 200 hrs of lectures, go to Dan Carlin hardcore history, and listen to 50 hours, Mike Duncan history of Rome 50 hours.
But first you need to read a text book in each of sociology, economics, criminology, accounting, finance, audit/tax, psychology 101. And do a couple years of business school.

Idea (just brain storming session):
Technology and telecommunications national/domestic security initiative
Citizens initiated non-binding referendum
Initiated by means of petition.
You have a referendum to modify the bill of rights, nationalise the telecommunications industry, declare it a state monopoly, and place this monopoly under the nz bill of rights. All of it is in the referendum itself.
One: Modify bill of rights
Insert the two following lines into the current bill of rights:
-Everyone has the right to not have their nervous system infiltrated or molested by Government telecommunications technology, except by written consent.
-Everyone has the right to be secure against the observation of their mind by telecommunication technology, except by written consent.
Two: Nationalise telecommunications
Nationalise the telecommunications industry: the whole thing. Fibre optic lines, broadband, mobile phones, spark, chorus, Vodafone, Skinny. Declare Government monopoly on telco industry, incl domestic fibre optic lines and cell towers
Three: place telecommunications under bill of rights
Place the government telecommunications entity under bill of rights. Ie the government telco entity and assets are subject to the nz bill of rights.
Do one, two, and three in a non binding citizens initiated referendum? And see what happens?
********
********
********
If you can get it through:
Sort the rest out in court? People can now sue the Government for violation of the new items in the bill of rights. They can hire lawyers, sue under bill of rights, subpoena engineers or other persons. Very quickly you cannot actually use abrades due to the legal environment. Unless the system implements a consent based order?
If you can’t get it through: issues with legitimacy for the govt?
But first: need advertising, marketing, and propaganda, education?
It can be modified/applicable to other places?
For example: can order the Government to start its own telecommunication department. Invest in telco infrastructure. Provide telco services. And then later ban the competition?

I grew up Pentecostal a bit lol
Lake Taupo Christian School was started in the back of the Taupo Apostolic Church, 63 Lakewood Drive Nukuhao (now equippers). I went to Lake Taupo Christian Camp in the holidays. I also went to the Parachute music festival at Matamata sometimes. Then Taupo Baptist later (corner of rifle range road and Taupo view road). Church was mostly a positive thing. It was actually fine. Nice people. Sometimes food. A chocolate fish on your birthday. Idk. I don’t want to explain?? If you know, you know?
Started school before the age of five. Also briefly did Suzuki method of music education in upper room at age 4ish?
My father was a youth pastor way back in his old Karori Baptist Church days. And was pretty involved in the church while in Taupo, youth pastor and other stuff.
Left Taupo at age eleven.

Next Church was Pirimai Baptist, Napier. Run in an old supermarket building, they shared facilities with a local Chinese church.
Next church was Taradale St Columbus, Napier. Presbyterian. It is still there. Pastor is Brett Walker. David walker’s father.
Next, age 15: Paraparaumu: coast community church. This was main church for years. 57 Hinemoa Street.

Random idea:
P: swift, certain, 3 months in jail.
Way easier to get blood test.
“Disturbing the peace while under suspicion of being on P” = arrest and charge. If sniffer dog sniffs you, and reacts, this is grounds for getting a warrant from a judge for a blood test. If blood test = positive, you probably can land a conviction for the charge. 3 months is minimum and maximum sentence. It becomes much, much easier to convict. “Demand side” policing, not supply side policing. If the charges are low, and easy to get, then policing is easier. You convict more people faster. The deterrent effect is better with smaller, swifter and more certain punishment. If you can nail them faster and with greater certainty, it just works better. Based on blood test, not possession.
However, to maintain the “social contract” and fairness, you have to greatly reduce penalties for drug possession (for use) and make other changes so that the policy is appropriate… I.e. getting caught with the bag (little bag) is no greater than one year in jail… umm. [The major dealers are still hit really hard for big quantities].
The swiftness and certainty of punishment is the deterrent.
More tools in the tool kit for policing.

Quit tv totally (21 hrs per week)
Throw your smart phone away and buy a flip phone.
Read 21 hours a week (books: fiction + non fiction)
Use the time to walk, play a sport, get fit
(Maybe baseball, hockey, or tennis), (body weight or lift)
Subscribe to newspapers/magazines while demanding better quality material (and pay for it).
Talk politics.
And do it en masse
That then creates the raw material for political change. The substrate for political movement. Someone else leads it. Not you.
Or you can embrace the mediocrity.

Policy for cooking class: rice cooker, electric steamer, stainless steel frying pan (medium sized frypan), with oven proof lid. Gift to students at 14. Teach appropriate meals. (I’d add a good 20 cm saucepan too, with helper handle, if possible)

If the standard faraday box is too weak…
Random oscillation current through the faraday box? As well as grounding?? To create electric field of interference? Low current, but oscillation. You don’t need control, just interference. It’s just an idea.
Or just wrap thick insulated cables around it, and run current through it, to induce an electromagnetic field in the box. Oscillate the current wildly and randomly to spaz the electric field in the box. The electric field in the panels should block the radio waves through interference.
It’s like wrapping your own electromagnet.
Wrap insulated cables around the box 50 times. Run current through it. Randomly circuit break the current to mess with magnetic field lol. 😜
It is a gap generator!!! (See ra2 video game). It creates a space of non observation. Not ready for market lol.
Wrap thick cables around the steel faraday box, like an electromagnet, run current through it, to create an induced electric/electromagnetic field in the whole thing.
and randomly variegate the current to create infinite interference. Umm. You just moodlewaddle the current. Moodlewaddle is the correct technical term.
Attach a heavy duty “dimmer switch” to the circuit, and mess with it to break the radio waves.
My brain has stopped.
Then turn it into a replicable product.
I honestly have no idea.
The box is still grounded.

GYM
I am now providing information: mostly for context
I joined my school gym partway through 7th form. Paid for membership.
I did basic weight lifting, and resistance training. Including bench press, and squats in a squat rack aka power cage.
I was gravitating towards an uncomplicated system of compound movements/lifts. Three times weekly.
I practised things like:
Squats
Bench
Pull ups
Overhead press
***
I also did other stuff:
Single joint movements: like tricep pull downs sometimes, bicep curls etc.
Dips, calf raises?
I still did a bit of body weight stuff at home sometimes.
***
I went to the gym after I finished cleaning classrooms after school. I could do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I couldn’t work out on Fridays because it shut by the time I finished work (I worked 2 hours on Fridays).
I would read online articles about form and routines. And “body building” training vs “strength”. Or whatever.

Disclaimer: I was a little haphazard sometimes, because I was still learning how to do things. But I was improving quickly.

Dumb hypothetical:
Someone starts the Tech freedom party in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, or Denmark. Everyone owns their own faraday office.
They then start figuring out ideology and manifesto after they have the faraday cages. Who knows what happens next?
*****
Random ideas:
Popularisation of faraday room technology:
A really smart thing to do: take the micro faraday office, kitset idea and create a blueprint + instructions for a DIY version. It has nothing to do with Xi etc. List all of the materials, so that people with a fairly high level of practical carpentry/building skills can make their own version at home. The format is like instructions on a “how to” blog. It then circulates online. And people can make them. Other people make the version for the engineering workshop (kitset). Or for the deliverable version.
1. Kitset version
2. Deliverable version
3. DIY version
Ideas one and two are small business sized. Idea three is for diy. The sort of guy who uses the diy version will make one for himself, and maybe 1-2 for friends. It becomes ubiquitous.
Strength in numbers etc.
I’m not the boss of you (or anyone)
Product = microfaradayoffice.pdf containing instructions for making your own micro faraday office at home. Need good construction skills.
Size: 2.4 by by 2.12 by 2.03
Length 2.03 metres
Width is 2.12 metres
Height is 2.4 metres
Suitable for a room with a high stud ceiling.
A repeat here:
Micro faraday office, kit set
Size of two king single beds side-by-side
Height is either 1.98 interior or 2.4 interior (basic, premium)
Wood panel interior
Nice polished wood floor
Tube steel framing
Clad in sheet steel
Product idea, not politics idea
Two guys deliver it in a van, and assemble it for you, in your home’s second lounge (high stud ceiling). You opted for the 2.4m high version. They assemble it for you.
You put a rug, a desk, a chair, and a floor lamp (incandescent bulb) in it.
When you step into it, you have good floors, classy wood walls, a rug, nice wooden desk and a good computer chair, and your laptop. You feel at home.
Replicate, spread

Question: what happens if faraday technology becomes ubiquitous. Or (different words), faraday furniture becomes ubiquitous. It’s basically a large booth tbh…
“Faraday booth furniture”
******
The best version is still the “micro faraday office, kitset”. Delivered and installed for you by a local small business. Profit motive: 50% markup.
Business model, they just need blueprints.
If you make faraday booths/offices, people will buy them. Lol. It is profitable??
******
How does it happen.
1. Engineering/makers/designers/students/freedom types build prototypes, create blueprints. And then the blueprints go viral.
2. Small businesses manufacture them to make profits, from blue print.
Ps: I think that I am done with ideas for faraday booth/office technology. The idea is now out there.
And fwiw, I’d probably use mine as a lounge, and just sit around reading all day. And buy a second to sleep in.
Other people would use theirs as a sitting room.

Need telco in the hands of MBIE first (under authority of NZ bill of rights). If in MBIE, comes under authority of nz bill of rights already.

Or, in other location (eg a USA state)
Introduce a state monopoly on telco in your state, using states rights, eminent domain, and then regulate the fuck out of it. OR just modify your states bill of rights, by mail referendum (ie direct democracy). You can in fact regulate state monopoly telco by direct democracy. Including introducing regulatory agencies.
You have to choose: courts sort it out OR regulatory body method. It really is your personal choice. State monopoly + rights + regulator might be the best choice. But idk. This is inspiration only.
Introduce a tech bill of rights: nervous system interference, human machine interfaces, privacy etc
But also use the ordinary USA level bill of rights!!
And have a regulatory agency to observe, record and keep sense|impression|data|files.
And people can sue.
Legitimate activists etc.
Subpoena witnesses etc.
If you put the telco in the hands of your Government, then you can sue it under a bill of rights, and subpoena engineers etc.
PS: you may also need some regulation that the Government keep records of stuff, or whatever. Observation tech for what happens using the towers. Perhaps introduce independent engineer observers into govt? But don't overthink it.

Try looking at it this way:
This is just one angle
Go back 9 years…
A group of people were responsible for damaging me:
Paul, Matthew, Siobhan, Brynn, Amanda, Anna, Joseph, and about 50 others associated, who could profit.
They broke my body, and kept it broken for seven years. Age 27 - 34. (2016-2023). Torso integrity is compromised”. My life was hell.
Hypothetically speaking, Why should I want to sleep with the women of that set?
I didn’t even know about “abrade technology” back then (2016–2023).
My story is written in my blog, piece meal. It is hard to put together, but a lot of it is there.
If people don’t know my story???! Why do they have a point of view!!?!?

Why didn’t I do engineering?
Engineering people:
Arnold, masters in electrical engineering, felt that I didn’t like his personality. He didn’t like me either. He’s not a wonderful human being.. he’s married to my mother..
Uncle Jonathan, engineering, had problems finding work, redundant a fair bit
My father, failed at electrical engineering at uni
My 7th form physics teacher, engineering degree but ended up teaching??
So I thought.. why do engineering??

Ummm. I had some problems as an infant. No one sent me to a doctor. And when they did, they sent me to a literal clown doctor, and a physio my mum sabotaged..

Fun thought experiment:
Thinking outside the box…
The moment you’re inside the faraday micro office…. You can think outside the box.
Metaphorically, planet earth is inside the box.
Do a thought experiment: what if I’m *outside the system*. Outside the earth. And I want to liberate the masses from control? I’m not inside earth. I’m an alien.
What is the nature of the control
When
Why
Where
Who
How
What is the nature of society?
Law of large numbers foundation

Create something that can be inserted into the masses and used by huge numbers of people. It is asymmetrical. Already virally, and chaos theory alter system.
But actually do the experiment lol, because it’s a really good experiment.

Umm, the women have to do it too. Because tbh, it’s not exactly unreasonable.. except maybe the women can do woodworking instead of metalwork. Because we need furniture, yeah? They build the table + chairs. Because, at the end of the day, they are ‘table’ to do it. And they need a seat at the table. Cheers.

Umm. David as toddler/little kid probably ought to have been seen by a specialist at a decent hospital 🙃. Like maybe a paediatric guy who can potentially do orthopaedic surgery etc. he would diagnose problems, and prescribe physiotherapy. The child would be seen by an excellent senior physiotherapist at the hospital. To have a program of physiotherapy prescribed for him. And then he would have regular physio visits with a normal physio at the hospital and do exercises. The paediatric guy would have oversight, but most work done by physiotherapy. It would be a team approach. Umm. The senior physio creates the program. Normal physio administers it. Chain of command: paediatric guy is the boss, sort of. Parents are given instructions too. You have to do xyz.
[they didn’t send me to a physio therapist until age twelve. And then they sabotaged my physiotherapist, he was in on the overall scheme]

Nagged into this also:
I like Chinese food, kung fu movies, and used to like Mah Jong with my grandparents.
Nagged into doing this:
Moderation board: elected members are paid about 80k per year, and they set policy for moderation. And oversee hiring moderators. Moderation board has oversight of decisions of moderators. The buck stops with them on moderation decisions. Moderation board meets once a week, in person, in Wellington (of course you can Skype in sometimes if you’re overseas).
The moderation board members are professional types, middle aged, lawyers, accountants, doctors, so called “staid professionals”.
Moderators are hired full time employees who are paid. Usually university education etc. youngish, because easy to afford to hire.
Umm. The technical side of things is done by MBIE or equivalent. It’s just server farms, and developers, frameworks, engineers. Or whatever. I don’t know how the technology works. That’s for tech guys and engineers to do. They do a YouTube clone, and a medium clone (essay sharing). Basic kiwi platforms. But they have to use moderators hired by the (independent, and democratically elected) moderation board. Hosting the content.

A reverse social engineer creates a toolkit of methods that undermine or otherwise neutralise the control methods of a system so that the people can then govern themselves. It is somewhat agnostic about the system of government afterwards. (Personally, I like multiparty democracy). It may also create methods of improving people’s capacity for self governance (as a nation, or at the community level) (eg buying groups for billionaire quality media reports, or government basic platforms, or binding CIR)

Better state lending for houses, like we used to.
Better, cheaper state housing, like we used to. Not too fancy.

Maybe some sort of reduction of levels of debt?? Like a partial debt write off on domestic home ownership. Maybe, govt writes off part of your home loan..
Commercial and industrial lending banks, like china has, and like we used to?
Can we have high school sex segregated?
Boys high schools, girls high schools
Boys do better with an all boys school
Cafeterias with quality food, and sit down meals

Product idea, not politics idea
Two guys deliver it in a van, and assemble it for you, in your home’s second lounge (high stud ceiling). You opted for the 2.4 high version. They assemble it for you.
You put a rug, a desk, a chair, and a floor lamp (incandescent) in it.
When you step into it, you have good floors, classy wood walls, a rug, nice wooden desk and a good computer chair, and your laptop. You feel at home.

Umm. It’ll happen. But I’m not advocating for it lol. Someone is going to have to do the brainwashing/religion/cult/programming function in society. However it works..?? Pseudo religion?
Maybe people will be happier with an organisation that gives them philosophy + religion feel. This is our philosophy, and this is our “religion feel”. It’s all open book/source.
Bespoke media buying group

Mind freedom cube society
We ubiquitize the mind freedom cube.
Go full magicians apprentice on just getting mind freedom cubes into garages.
Humour helps.
…
Random idea for invention:
Faraday box: measures 1.5 metres long, 1 metre wide, 1.8m high. Sheet steel 3-4 mm thick, 2x4 wood framing, plywood interior, double doors on front.
Back panel has air vent
Interior contains a small desk, a chair, and a lamp
Faraday box is attached to grounding by cable to wall socket.
It is on 4x4 wood runners.
Can be delivered by normal single axle trailer.
And placed directly into your garage.
Small scale manufacturing in a small workshop/factory (10 men worth, not mechanised).
Profit motive encourages production, welcome to capitalism lol.
You put it in your garage, because it is too big to fit through the door. Also, the garage keeps it dry, because steel rusts.
You step into it and close the door, you have privacy of mind. You can think whatever you want.
*********
Call it the freedom cube, or the privacy cube.
You can have privacy of mind and emotion in the freedom cube. Freedom from harassment and observation.
It is freedom of mind (mental autonomy?), delivered on an ordinary single axle trailer, to your garage.

How to implement no hive-mind tech without consent
Telecommunication infrastructure holders are required by law to hold records of all abrades in a database in a database
The information can be accessed by police with a search warrant or production order
Give me a full record of all abrades used on person xyz
The police can then prosecute the people who “abraded” for assault, battery, or whatever
It is sorted out by police, prosecutor, courts
[[Hypothetically: Implement through CIR. Start campaign by mailer to ALL letter boxes in nz. Write up two page summary of what you want, and how it works. Self contained. Include ideas for propaganda. Mail it out.
Once people read it, start a centralised organisation for marketing, and then start doing petitions. People can honestly just start doing their own marketing if you’re doing a bad job.]]
Student activists do the first step, get the mailer done.
Respectable person in community leads the second phase. A lawyer with a good reputation, and a set of half a dozen people form a society for pushing this ONE law. They do marketing (centralised and decentralised), then petition, then referendum etc. marketing includes instructions to street level activists, with guidance on pamphlets, posters, stickers etc. to provide good branding. But also standard old media etc… students can follow along and donate, or whatever “songs about, I hate the hivemind”
Even if the campaign doesn’t win…. Umm, you get a lot of cut through and mind share. You have changed the cultural milieu dramatically. Maybe the next country over does a better job…

If you have binding CIR and govt basic platforms, then a man with a brain can put forward policies and get them put into legislation without dealing with people who are brain dumb dumb stupid.

The technology of reading changes you.
30 minutes a day of almost literally anything works. Novels, non-fiction, short stories, essays. Try to find something with good English. The quality of language matters. PG Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, Lord of the Rings, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ray Bradbury, Murakami, Vonnegut, Catherine, biographies of entrepreneurs, scientists or whatever. Histories, whatever.
Cut the lowest 20% of quality from your reading list. For example, Ready player one doesn’t make the cut, because the writing is so poor. Not does
The technology and activity of reading literally rewires your mind. It improves your capacity for abstract thinking and verbal reasoning. It is one of the most powerful (and simple) technologies out there.

Martial Arts:
I keep on getting questions about martial arts…
Muay Thai:
I did Muay Thai for 6 months in my 4th form year in high school (age 14/15ish). There wasn’t much sparring, but it was still pretty good. Mostly hitting the pads and drills etc. I had to quit when I moved from Taradale to Paraparaumu.
***
Boxing:
I did boxing in my 5th form year at high school (around the age of 15/16). It was just a hobby for me. I quit after a while. I think I was on and off for a bit before I quit? (I did maybe between 6-9 months cumulatively)
In 7th (age 17/18) form year at high school I lifted weights for a bit. But this was after I’d quit boxing.
I was a pretty small guy at 15, but I’d got taller by 18.
The boxing was just a hobby etc. I was always an “intellect” guy, not a sports or competitive fighting guy, and I knew it. I was good at math, physics, economics and accounting at school. I wanted to go to university, and succeed in some sort of field in life. I wasn’t 100% sure what.
Why did I quit? I got puffed too easily, probably due to poor lung capacity. I couldn’t seem to improve cardio much, even though I tried. Also, I don’t like getting hit in the head too much, even with headgear. The hits add up a bit, even the soft hits you take in sparring. You don’t want to get hit too much if you’re an guy who’s hoping to succeed in life based on intellect.
If I had a more normal life, I’d have just bought a punching bag + gloves, and used it to warm up at home. I’m not a hardcore boxer in any life.
***
Judo:
I did 6 months Judo as a child (form two, 12/13 years old). I liked it. I liked O Goshi and leg sweeps (right leg reap). I can ippon seionage throw in drills (Preference for lapel grip, elbow in armpit).
In randori, shoulder throw is hard to pull off, so I prefer to just rely on leg sweeps, o goshi, and footwork, and a bit of push/pull to get them off balance. We do both standup and ground randori. We learn some basic newaza, but only hold downs. There’s never enough randori.
I’m hazy on details like names, because Japanese labels for throws are hard to remember.

One of the best self defense arts is called: “just don’t be there”, Dion Crouch (kickboxing instructor at age 14) told me. Yep.
***
Umm. As a child, I had always wanted to do a martial art. I wanted to do it for its own sake. Probably an Asian one: like karate, judo, jujitsu, kung fu, tai kwon do. Why? Tekken, martial arts movies, and books about martial arts.
Ending up doing boxing was an accident.

Tone: I’m basically sweet in temperament a lot of the time. Goofy/relaxed. A lot is irony. Irony internally keeps me sane. Sometimes I’m sour in thought, or negative, but actually positive in feeling. Sometimes annoyed/irate, but basically okay. Some obvious flashes of anger. Exasperation is much more common. Was upbeat a fair bit, until bluff pulling me apart?
Draft:
[[I decided not to try to hold onto Lily back in Raine street because I was too crippled to take care of her. There was one particular moment in the kitchen when I realised that I couldn’t take care of her physically, and I couldn’t rely on my family to help. If I’d known it was electronic crippling, back in Raine street, I might have done things differently. Ie fought for Lily and kept her. A = jail. I then recover my health. Tell my story (mistreatment, corruption, while working on reverse social engineering project). Angle: this is my story… treated badly while working on “conspiracy theory” stuff, corruption, lawyers electronic, xyzabc. Btw, here is a download of some of the stuff I used to work on. It’s called “Deprogramming and reverse social engineering, as a hobby”, it might spark some ideas.]]
I add in freedom cubes and mindwatch and “social engineering as a service”

“Deprogramming and
Reverse social engineering
As a hobby”
*****
I had a piece of paper, the title was “reverse social engineering” with the subtext “as a hobby”. The project was called “deprogramming and reverse social engineering, as a hobby”
=> catch phrase “reverse social engineering is a hobby”
The sort of person who does reverse social engineering is a philosopher.
Umm.

Draft:
I want a freedom cube. It is a faraday cage large enough for a chair to meditate on or day dream on. That’s it. Maybe a tiny desk stub to write on. It has to be deliverable by van! Product. Some assembly required, but easy. Phone box sized, maybe? Idk. Will finish later. Can have desk arm build into arm of chair. Or cushion to sit on. Maybe 1.2 metres by 1.2 metres. Height maybe 175cm..
Or perhaps just convert a closet into a freedom cage? In our freedom cage, we can be free? Idk.
Free to meditate 20 (or longer)
Free to day dream 20 (ideas etc)
Come up with new ideas for how to live, how to activism, want better laws?
I tried yoga in 13/14 high school, and it didn’t work for me
I tried yoga in university
I tried two classes, and also printed off exercises from a book. I knew I needed something, but nothing worked. I tried it a bunch.

Issues I had:
Duck feet, muscle imbalances, poor walking gait
Tight back muscles (length)
Small, underdeveloped glutes
Over developed inner thigh muscles
Strong biceps, triceps, pecs, abs
(I didn’t know it as the time, but: Over developed iliopsoas, and neck muscles tight)

A brief note about what was done for those seven years in Princeton: they crippled me, but called it war…
7 yrs
Form over function.
They followed the “form” of war, but the real “function” was one of just crippling a man.
Map is not the territory, word is not the thing
Lack of oversight for 7 yrs?? Conflict of interests?
Had back pain when I was young.
The main thing I needed when I was 14ish was help with my legs + hips. (I had duck feet, small glutes, quads a little underdeveloped. Pelvic tilt a little bit) idk which way. Due to being taught to walk wrong.
[best answer, try some kung fu stances. They’ll build strength/tone through legs and pelvis in a bunch of ways, and it all works out in the end. It just trains your legs and hips. These four: horse, lunge, half horse, and cat.]
Complained about back pain.
I was sent to a physiotherapist, and had a lot of treatment. A lot. Government funded too. I did the exercises. But I didn’t get better. I was cheated by him. He was working with my family. He deliberatly avoided helping me.
I also was sent to a doctor. The doctor was literally a part time clown. I think that she messed with me by denying me support and being dismissive of my problems. “You’re just spending too much time on the computer.” 50/50 chance it was just an unintentional phrasing. She should have diagnosed the issues. Pretty likely working with my family.
I saw a doctor, physio about back pain. Both sabotaged.
I used to get really bad neck pains that caused near fainting. Pinched nerve I think
**************
I was “mega spine fucked” for seven years. They caused it to happen electronically. And then keep me that way.
What happened to me for seven years there was [horrific, it was mega physical abuse by means of science fiction technology]. They broke my body electronically for seven years and kept me that way. And the group of women did it so that they could exploit me for money. Like an extractive asset. How can I be a part of that set?
Is it right to break a man’s body for seven years (and continuously keep him broken) so that you can exploit him for sex?
Reading about the enclosure movement in UK was a “perspective shifting” for me. “The poor had no lawyers” so they lost access to their land.
**********
When your spine is borked, walking on uneven ground is harder/unpleasant, and causes harm.
Cards to me is just socialising, but card games are fun too

I like social justice, but not the “politically correct version”. (I dislike lgbtq, feminist theory etc, pc rhetoric on race)
I kinda like the old fashioned minority rights version?? And the “we fight for the dispossessed version”. But I’m not really warrior for social justice. We fight for the minority rights ppl.
Hate human trafficking, ton of sympathy for refugees (some concern re: race and findamentalist religion), I didn’t like gay marriage. I have a ton of sympathy with anyone who wants to “dispossess the dispossessors” but don’t see it as practical. For example, I’d be pro civil rights in USA. (I’d go to a few “polite protests”). I’m a fan of anyone who wants to be a “voice for the voiceless”, ie advocacy.
I like the idea of redistributive justice (sort of), but I don’t know the right label for it. I basically want to expropriate/dispossess all billionaires. And most millionaires (above 20 million)?? This is not a policy, but a feeling. However, it is impractical, and impossible.
I like redistributive justice, but it’s really really hard.
I’m a reformist at heart, not a revolutionary
Who are the dispossessed? For example, indigenous people in Bolivia are an example of the dispossessed if they cannot protect their property rights re: lithium reserves, or negotiate good deals. They need lawyers, and accountants, and negotiators. And politicians to fight for them. (Maybe) it would be natural justice for indigenous people in Bolivia to profit from lithium mining on their land.
Media is part of the power dynamic there: newspapers, TV stations, radio etc
(Globally) Migrant workers (such as the guys at the apple orchard) the “voiceless”, and they need trade union organisers, representation, decent pay/conditions etc (but not citizenship). But not always, because they can sometimes take care of themselves.

My left arm is pinned firmly to the left side of my torso in that video online.
[[My left arm was pinned to the left side of my body in Princeton Road. Pinned for 7 years while in standing /walking. I was still able to get a flannel on a coat hanger in between arm and body. However, when in bed, after sleeping, I could move it a bit!! It was difficult to put on a shirt, and to take off a shirt, with my arm pinned to my left hand side.]]
I sometimes use bizarre analogies and thought experiments and terminology to understand or comprehend or cope with a bizarre situation.

I used to think in terms of land ownership in ands of collective family syndicates and debt jubilee.
I think in terms of accounting major.
I briefly had a few lectures about postmodernist thought and financial accounting. “What represents what”. We didn’t have name drops of individual philosophers, but the underlying philosophical “feel” was that sort of philosopher. Umm

What sort of guy am I? I’m the sort that loves to spend all day immersed in books. Or, at least that’s one of the things I love. If I have a stack of books to read, and a cup of tea, I’m pretty much set for the day; happy, contented.

I also used to listen to lectures:
Sample Lectures: from yale
Introduction to Greek history by Donald Kagen, on open Yale clcv 205
Epidemics in western society, open yale
Iirc: HIST 251: Early Modern England: Politics, Religion, and Society under the Tudors and Stuarts
Global Geopolitics, Martin Lewis, Stanford
And many more lectures. Particularly history, from places like open Yale. History is easier to listen to than other subjects.
Dumb stuff like random podcasts
Also history of Rome, mark duncan
Hardcore history, Dan carlin
I used to clean school classrooms for money in high school. 1 hour per day mon - thu. Two hours Friday. Vacuuming, dust mop, mopping, dry floor polisher, sweep etc. plus a bit extra in the holidays. Walk behind Hand push scrubber machine (plug-in) on Fridays. I picked raspberries and blackberries for money sometimes in school holidays, started that at about 5:30 am.
********
Who are you with woman?
Idk, but maybe [[Faramir with a sense of humour.??]] I like that character. He’s an ideal, an archetype. Not something to actually be..? A character to admire, but not who I actually am.
Influenced by Faramir, but not actually being Faramir. He’s maybe a little too sweet in the books. But about right in the movies.
[[Some might say about David, “he’s a bit of a dick, but not an arsehole”]]
I don’t “abrade” people in real life. I don’t even punch people on the arm.
When younger, I wanted a gun because of shooting at camp and youth group.
********************
If I were healthy, and had a good job. I might want to have a holiday home or cabin near a lake and forest. Kind of like a beach, but maybe nicer. Ahahahahahaha. It’s not a potato for life. But I’m not selling out for it. (It has indoor plumbing, and hot/cold running water).
[[<Thought token>

“A dark hand had let go its lifelong hold upon her heart. But she did not feel joy, as she had in the mountains. She put her head down in her arms and cried, and her cheeks were salt and wet. She cried for the waste of her years in bondage to a useless evil. She wept in pain, because she was free.”
Her newfound freedom was a bittersweet experience, as it brought with it the realization of the wasted years and the potential for a new life.
I kinda liked Tenar in tombs of Atuan, back about 7-9 years ago. Losing religion as a fundamentalist is strange lol.

I was in a torso collapsed state the whole time in Princeton Road*. Or in other words, I was cripple-ized.
*(from about 27 years onwards)
The oligarchy started using abrade tech on my back at 16 years old, by 27 I was crippled.
They’ve also used sleep, fatigue, and other abrades on me. Also, sabotaged my doctors and physiotherapists.
Hypothetical policy:
Nationalise McDonald’s, turn it into “government basic”, menu by a celebrity chef, heavily subsidised. Food is healthy, but not.. politically correct food..?
Recent status update:
I seek safety, rest, listen music
Gun stuff? Not a gun guy tbh. Trump told me to put this in here:
Never fired a shot gun
Never fired a rifle above .22
Never fired a handgun

If a pdf containing blue prints for “micro faraday office kit set” becomes universally available, what happens?
If a pdf containing blue prints for the garage privacy cube (bloke deliverable) becomes available, what happens?
Foundation, law of large numbers.
People build cubes.
People have many cubes.
Collectively and individually.
Manufacturing pushes more cubes.
A ton of people have them.
Umm, people push for policies 1-4.
They push a lot of propaganda materials into the world.
Every thing changed totally.
FaradayBlueprint.pdf becomes widely available.
Every city with 100000+ people have engineering workshops/factories that can build them. And can manufacture at scale.
Then you have large numbers of people with access to affordable faraday technology in the home all over the world. What happens next?
People purchase the garage cubby unit. And they purchase the high stud mini office faraday kit set (assembled on site by delivery men).
You have large numbers of these units in people’s homes and garages.
What next?
Please note: the manufacture and sale of these units is profitable. Small businesses can turn a tidy profit making them (and can even profiteer in the short term).
//imaginary questions for economics tutorial, 2nd year. Hypothetical, theoretical.
Once you productise, ubiquitize and standardise home faraday technology (furniture). What happens? What happens to the political environment? (Economic and political analysis). University 2nd year analysis question??
If you have 8000 units of the garage unit, 2000 units of the micro office unit across New Zealand, what happens?
What happens if they already have 24000 units of the garage unit in Australia, and 6000 Unitas the micro office unit?
What happens if they first popularised the technology in Arkansas?
Individuals will want them, because they want privacy. Small businesses will produce them, because it is profitable. All they need are appropriate blueprints, and they can get started.
Question: If you have perfect blue prints + instructions online + profit motive for both types of faraday unit, then what happens?
Answer: you have ubiquitous home faraday technology available, and the game changes
Philosophy and psychology concepts

I added this later, in late November 2025;
Philosopher-king: fae-druj
They keep saying, "I won"
Their schemes are stupid and dangerous, and they themselves are intellectually backwards and daft.
Like the parable of the frog and the scorpion combined with the Simpsons Monorail episodes, with a side order of the Dutch tulip mania. They have basically broken society, and it will probably fall apart, taking tons of us with it. It isn't a win, it's a clustefuck.
Yes, they are serious people, but they're serious in the same way that rectal cancer is serious.
****
Their decisions pose an existential threat to our species. They may have simply sunk us, to no good end. Just like the frog and the scorpion. And their society and the civilisation built around the ubiquitous surveillance of the satellites will probably fail. And this may happen to have been the last chance for our species. Please see also, the concept of “carrying capacity” as described and explained in the “club of Rome” materials. They’re just a think tank, but they were mega influential back in the day.

This includes:
People like mediocre, white, Wiccan males, in late middle age, who want to feel like they’ve still got it, and want to retain access to the bodies of young (ish) women.
Boorish communists (especially the subordinates) who can’t admit that their whole history is a massive clusterfuck, and just need to calm down.
And associated
Busybodies
Sex pests
Peeping Toms
Perverts
Frumpy, grumpy, intellectually mediocre housewives larping as courtesans and geisha. And rapidly aging women who can’t quite admit they’re middle aged, and want to pretend they’ve still got it, if they ever had it in the first place ahaha.
Psycho university professors (hi Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, MIT). See also: sex pests and perverts.
And techno dweebs daft enough to place their hope in magic space technology. And take it so far that they even make a new pseudo-religion based on applied psychology. See also MIT, Caltech, Princeton and Cambridge (England).
And environmentalists who are tearing out their hair, because everything is a disaster. And because “resources are finite”.
Don’t worry, it’s just a bit of fun ðŸ«
