Drop box of garbage

I think I’ll create a new drop box of garbage.

This one is lagging.

I'll delete or archive this later.

Women’s issues that I have been interested in:

In the past!!

Access to education
Access to jobs, work and careers
Ability to leave and divorce men who are alcoholics, or habitually violent. And then to support themselves and their children.
Ability to start bank accounts
The ability to control your own finances

Female genital mutilation (research it via ex Muslim podcasts, for historical reasons please. It is mostly phased out). Also “internalised misogyny”.
Chinese foot mutilation - from internalised misogyny. It controls women by reducing mobility, so they are controlled by their new in laws when married.
Access to better clothing, so that they can access healthy vigorous outdoor sports (physical exercise is a relatively new part of culture! Or, at least, physical exercise as we know it!!)
Women’s shoes, and beauty standards
Make up - it is pushed by women, not men
Make -up inflation: American make up culture is horse shit, and we don’t want it in New Zealand!!! Also, makeup culture in Japan and Korea is silly too.
Women’s shoes are evil lol.
Women’s clothing in the past was awful, and restricted physical movement too much (kinda like hanfu).

(I have a massive weird hate issue against bad clothing and footwear, such as hanfu. Hanfu is extremely cool looking, and respectable. I like the appearance of a fair bit of it, but it just isn’t that practical. And modern woman’s shoes are regarded! And women’s clothing is stupidly too: leggings as pants, jeans too tight _restricts movement_!!!!. Clothing that doesn’t breathe. Makeup culture is capitalist marketing bullshit. (Note: women’s clothing should be pretty, and nice wherever possible, if women want it to be, but clothing culture is daft at the moment lol).

Other issues: ummm. Stalkers, domestic violence, ex partner stalkers.

Ability in women to do physical skilled trades (or lack thereof) like plumbing, electrician, carpentry.
Ability of women to do good generative cognitive work in the fields of math, science, engineering etc. (women, at the upper end of the bell curve for intellect tend to lack creative ability in sciences for example. Very few female creative geniuses). Also, perceived lack of ability among female writers etc.

Also tendency of women to support totalitarian regimes.

I have thought of these things, that is all, don’t take discussion as conclusion…

I am sympathetic towards many issues experienced by women, but don’t always agree with the framing of arguments by feminists!?

I am very sympathetic towards the arguments of first or second wave feminists who talked about the need to leave violent alcoholic husbands. Or prohibition (which don’t work). And having left their violent alcoholic husbands, needed access to decent employment. Sympathetic isn’t the same thing as agreement though on policy.

Prohibition was huge in the English speaking west. Absolutely massive, and inextricably linked to first wave feminism and the enfranchisement of women.

FWIW, I looked at a lot of these issues from a Christian perspective. But I was sympathetic to a lot of the issues that were raised by feminists.

Science


When I was about twentyish: What I really wanted to do (career wise) was to be a scientist. I had a lot of second thoughts about commerce at university. And kind of wanted to switch. But by then I was in poor health, and switching isn’t easy.

Also, when I was about twentyish, I read some JE Gordon and Feynman from the library and fell in love with the idea of studying materials science.

But in my twenties, I wasn’t healthy enough to go back to university to do science, so I didn’t. I tried to keep doing commerce. Until I couldn’t do that either. A bird in the hand etc.

I wanted to do science, and invent things using science. But I wasn’t able to. Because health.

***

I enjoy reading about sociology and anthropology.

I enjoy reading about things like the Christian Church, and the origins of the Bible. I liked learning about versions of the Bible and how they came to be.

I like learning about cultural anthropology, and the translation of works (like the Bible). Into languages of unreached tribes (se the Dayuma project).

I like learning about the history of cults and new religious movements.

I like learning about things like cities that belong to nomadic peoples, who occupy them some part of the year, but not all.

I like learning about the conflicts that occurs between pastoralists and farmers. It is fascinating.

I am fascinated by religion, sociology and anthropology. I think that religion is more interesting than philosophy. I always enjoy learning about how different civilisations function, cope, and survive.

I like reading stuff about the history of methods of physical culture. Such as yoga, Pilates, martial arts, weight lifting etc. not an expert, but it is fun. I also enjoyed reading a little bit about the history of medicine.

***

Xi readopted the mass line ideology of Mao.

Deng said that Mao was 70% right, 30% wrong.
Xi said that Mao was 80% right, 20% wrong.

This is basically the same as giving tacit approval to Mao.

In spite of 20-40 million deaths due to Great Leap Forward, Great Famine, Cultural Revolution (the great leap forward lead to the famine). [The cultural revolution was created in response to the famine, to deflect blame and attention.]

Those are just some of the reasons I feel some concerns as to the basic integrity and decency of Xi.

Posted without evidence or full discussion


I reckon my family tested some of this stuff out in my as far back as 1996/1997, when I was only 8-9 years old. I can’t prove it, but I think they gave me weird dreams. Sex dreams involving a bike, anal sex, and a girl at school. Also, weird incest dreams. A dream about a video game where I landed in the water and died instantly. A platformer where I “hit the water” and die instantly. And another dream where I tried clicking “file exit” to quit a dream, to escape it. Weird vivid dreams. I have no evidence though. I think they were using telco towers. I wish I could prove it though. I think they refer to my family’s plans to blow my life up.

This was roughly the time that my family decided to "eat" me. And also roughly the time my father left the apostolic church. And switched to taupo baptist. Please see the story about my father and the prayer group trying to "vomit the spirit of smoking into a bucket".

You probably need to be familiar with a lot of my story to see the connections.

There were the damaged intestines thing that I’ll explain later.

There were mentions of a "Constipated old octopus lady" and/or "constipated old orange lady" made again and again at school. I think they had a reference in them to me.

Am tired, but will modify later.


I have provided little of value so far. But it might help you guys to understand the milieu I was raised in.

Noah’s Starship



When I was 10 years old, my father had a creative project called “Noah’s Starship”. He wrote a story, and a soundtrack for it.


He wanted to make a movie, kinda like Jesus Christ superstar. With a soundtrack.


In this story, God decides to destroy the earth because it is running out of fuel. So Noah builds a starship, and floats above the earth just as the earth erupts into war, and bursts into flames.


The main refrain of one of the songs is “we are running out of fuel, we are running … out of fuel” (syncopated rhythm). My father wrote a lot of songs for it. He taught me the piano for the “we are running out of fuel song”. It starts slow, then gets quicker. Most of the music was piano + lyrics/singing.


When he landed, they found that new fuel had magically regenerated! And they could start over.



Note: He loved writing music (piano + vocals). Dad would often play the piano and sing for the family. Mum hated it, but I like listening to him play/sing. He taught me a lot of his songs.I loved a lot of his songs. He had clever chord structures. Music was a massively important part of my childhood, and of my relationship with my father.

A fun quote from Vonnegut:

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Population going in to the musket wars….

The Māori population around that time was likely between 70,000 and 90,000, a significant decline from the ~100,000 estimated for 1769.

Then 40000 casualties by 1840.


*

After that the treaty of Waitangi:


***

The population of NZ Māori was down to 50k in 1918, when they lost even more to the Spanish flu? 

They then intermarried with whites etc. Later on, this thing called maoridom was “socially constructed” (for good or for ill). But that is a story for another day.

*

A cultural identity was constructed. And the “Māori” “race” consisted of persons who were part white, part Māori, but who also self identified as being maori. It is kinda complicated.

Don’t take this as an insult, please.

Corporal Punishment


There was a fairly normal use of corporal punishment in my home growing up.

Misc discussion


They wanted me to have sex back in Khandallah, but I was covered in dead skin and other filth. I also wasn’t well enough to go on top. Which meant that I just wasn’t into it. But because it was important to them, I was willing to be accomodating.

And so I agreed to give it a go. Mostly just to be accommodating.

I felt put upon? I wasn’t into it.

***

Attractiveness:

Were the women physically attractive, according to my standards of physical attractiveness. Yes, most of them.

*

Getting a girlfriend in future:

If I were healthy and fit, would I want to have sex with one or more attractive woman. Yes. 

*

What type of arrangement?

Perhaps I might find a girlfriend in future?

***

Reframing


And so if you ask the question of “want”, I will reframe it and say…

It is not a matter of “want”, it is a question of whether or not I am into it….

“yeah, nah. I’m just not into it given that I can’t go on top, I’m not comfortable laying on my back, I’m covered in dead skin and filth, and I can’t really move around well, I can’t use my arms..??”

I could have also said, perhaps I can “take one for the team”, and put out. For the sake of people pleasing.

***

Posture


My posture problems (artificially induced) mean that I can’t really hold certain physical sensations in my body properly. They seldom naturally occur. And if they do, I have to consciously keep them going. I think I am supposed to feel a “burning desire” in my belly? But it just doesn’t happen that way.

There are issues with my hips, pelvis and back due to long term muscle “abrades”.

The sensations are really uncomfortable too.

// just for information

Literacy and the love of books


I did my sixth form English class speech on adult literacy. And on the differences between being basically literate and functionally literate.

There are a lot of people in the world who are basically literate, but not functionally literate.

And also there are people who are functionally literate, but don't have comfort in reading and/or aren't comfortable with the use of books and libraries. I don't want to talk much more about all of this.

*

The concept of TINA


There is no alternative and Thatcherism. Thatcher said there is no alternative before destroying working class communities in England with neoliberal reforms. People who claim "there is no alternative" are very often full of it.

*

Reading Education


Learning to read is one of the most important things out there. If you genuinely can't read, you are toast. And learning to read later in life is harder than early in life.

I have read books about reading education. But I have also read books about historical examples of literacy promotion. Example: years ago, I learned about reading education and Charlemagne. He struggled to learn to read and write as an adult. But still promoted literacy. For those who love knowledge, it is an interesting part of history to learn about. There are discussions that could be had about cognitive development at different points in life that I will choose to ignore for now.

*

General education


I have read books about study techniques.

I have read books about study systems for organising your personal study at university.

I have read books about this thing called "wide reading".

And books on appropriate reading methods for approaching a new subject.

I have read books and materials on "skill acquisition".

And books on speed reading also. Also books on mental mathematics.

I have read books on the topic of "genius", what it is, and how it develops. I have also read books on the topic of intelligence, what it is, and how it develops.

Hypocritical Predator 


Paul Solt acted like he was protecting women from his son. But he in fact was predatory towards women, and obsessed with Asian women. See: Tomoe Takahashi.

Ummmmm. Both the garbage dump and new text dump are lagging, so I might have to use the new page "extra stories" for now. I'm really sorry. Things are getting really messy.

Lewis Carol: 


A fun list of quotes:


Ps: I also liked Will Durant, Sir William Osler, Diogenes, Epicurus. As well as residual stuff from Christianity. And a fair bit of respect for the Buddhist tradition (monasteries and stuff), and a quick reading of the Tao te Ching.

****

Just for fun


A link to the Wikipedia article about the John Frum cult. And cargo cults in general.

It is a good way to lead into questions about the differences between maps and territories, models and the things modelled? This topic is not for everyone.


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


If you are wise, you might just say, “there but for the grace of God go I” lol. But most people won’t get it. Dw about it if it doesn’t make sense. It isn’t meant as an insult.


Comparative ethnology is fun.


Waorani, Samia, Maori, Moriori, Quechua

These sort of societies can be fun to read about?

You can actually learn a lot through comparative anthropology.

Comparative religion, religious history are good too.

General history is great. (See my lectures list for ideas on studying individual countries like Japan, China, India, France, or events and periods like the America Revolution, American civil war, early modern England history, early Middle Ages England, Ancient Greek history). Of course my study is mostly western centric. But it is still pretty good.

History of science and technology is great.

The history of technology and the history of science are amazing!!?!?! Especially the history of the Industrial Revolution. Economic history is cool. And the history of labour movements is awesome. Also the semiconductor revolution.


History is a fantastic subject. It teaches humility lol


And and and!!!! Read about attempts to translate the Bible into other languages!!!! Like the Dayuma project!!

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

You can learn a lot about human beings by learning about language and translation.


And read about the invention of the printing press, and the implications thereof. And of Martin Luther (the German one) and the 95 theses. The ottomans banned the printing press btw.


Read about the tech.

Read about the effect of ubiquitous access to the Bible in the common tongue (German, and then English).

And the flow on effects.


History of technology and science, and the flow on effects can be fascinating. The change in the technological basis of society can change to political, religious, and psychological basis of society. It isn’t just the economic mode of production (lolololol Marx 🙃🙃🙃😅🫠).


FWIW, Yes. I have read stuff about Marx, and he was (and is) on my to read list. Along with other socialist/communist books. Including non Marxist works.


History of cults, and “new religious movements” is cool too. See Hassan, but also see other books (and audiobooks) on the History of cults. The history is the important bit!!

History of the Christian church is fun too. (I haven’t read the linked work, but I have read other works of history.

I learn a lot from things like in our time by Melvyn Bragg.

Example:


Here are some episodes on Epicurus, Materialism, Yeats, Enclosure movement.

History of Ivan, my paternal grandfather

Ivan Brody-Solt


Hungarian-Jew, refugee from the USSR in 1956, spoke fluent Hungarian. Hungarian in ethnicity and nationality, but part Jewish by ancestry. His family name used to be “Speigal”, but was changed to Solt in the late 40s (afaik). For religion, they were Roman catholic. Not that he was very religious. At all. They used to be wealthy, lost everything fleeing Hungary.

He fled Hungary in 1956 along with his father, mother, and sister.


***

Misc stories


He taught Dad to do calculus at age 11. There was a bit of crying on the part of my father. But the experiment was successful, and my father learned calculus. They were travelling through Europe in a caravan doing a world tour. He wanted to teach my father that “there is no such thing as impossible”.

He was a good chess player, and taught my father to play. My father later become the Taupo chess champion. Papa was the sort of person who kept chess scores from games in the past to brag. My father eventually got better than his father.

He once did things like stand outside the Kelburn tunnel below his house with a sign saying, “honk if you believe in diligence, decency, hard work.”

He ran for council in 1989, got 3k votes.

He liked making things in his workshop. Had a rocking chair with a different rocking mechanism. And special custom opening mechanisms for things for his cupboard doors.

He tried to get elected to council once:

By the time I was in my teens knew him, he had false teeth and just sat there watching CNN all day.

**

According to my father:

He was sometimes difficult to live with. And was a bit mean. He preferred Paul (his eldest son). And he allegedly bullied his wife a bit? He would complain that she had gained weight etc

***

Marriage:


Why did he marry Carol Solt? She threatened suicide if he didn’t do it. They were in a relationship, and she told him that if he ever dumped her, she would kill herself.

They had two sets of two kids.

Once the first set (Paul and Wendy) had halfway grown up, she went and got pregnant with a second set (David and Monica).

It was a horrible marriage. He was a bit mean/bullied people (allegedly). But Nana was awful too.

She then divorced him, leaving suddenly, and took the second set of kids with her and turned them against him (David and Monica). He lost his relationship with them.

He went and got a new wife from Hungary, and had two extra kids.


****
****

Accusations against Ivan Brody-Solt:


Years and years later, after the divorce, and after the new wife, and after having new kids (Marton and Brody).

There were some accusations of historical offences and abuses:

Monica, his daughter, accused him of molestation. She claimed that he came into her bedroom late at night to do awful things when she was in her teens.

Cousin Glynn accused him of one instant of digital penetration while wrestling.

He was also accused of sexual harassment by some of Monica’s friends.

I suspect (but cannot prove) that these accusations were orchestrated by my Nana (his ex partner).

There was police involvement, and a court case. He was charged with a crime. My father had to give testimony. He stated that he knew nothing of any of these things happening.

But a kluge was found. Ivan pretended to be suffering dementia, early stages. He had to take some medication for a bit too. But he stayed out of jail. I think it was a mistrial.

I repeat:

Had to fake mental impairment and alzheimers, and go on medication to avoid conviction. There was a court case. I can’t find the records. I think it was a mistrial. I tried to find the information when I was back in Raine street. I was a teenager when the court case happened.

He didn’t end up with a conviction. I think it meant that he was under a ton of extra control after that.

Ps: a lot of this is based on what my father told me.


****
****

As mentioned in an another one of my stories. I stayed with him and Eva at around the age of 18ish, when I started going to university. She ruled the roost by that point (he had suffered one or two strokes by that point, and had broken his leg falling down the stairs).

He didn’t want to rock the boat too much. I suspect he wasn’t supposed to help me. He was quite old, had false teeth, and would watch CNN all day.

Ummmm.

He actually relied quite heavily on Paul, his eldest son, who visited often. His youngest two adult children had abandoned him. His eldest Paul kept in contact, as did Aunty Wendy. But she never liked her father much.

They lived above a nursery. Aka childcare centre. Just above the Kelburn tunnel 1 Raroa Road. And his second wife never left him.. which I think makes it pretty obvious he wasn’t a danger (read between the lines lol).



I stayed with him when I was 18. My health was falling apart. It was caused by electronic abuse. But he never told me about the electronic towers. They (the system) were waging a systematic campaign of destruction on my health and wellbeing. I saw doctors, and I was really ill. Even in his own home, he wasn’t allowed to tell me that I was getting electronically damaged.

I had a mystery illness while living in his house. He knew that I was unwell. He knew what was causing it. But I was never told the truth.

He was too controlled to simply tell me, “the reason you are sick is that the system is doing it electronically”

Ps:  you can see “how I got this way pt 2” if you want more information about my illness.

PPS: he was a “harsh disciplinarian” towards his kids, and kinda mean. He would just think you were weak? If you couldn’t handle it? Maybe this is why his youngest two kids hated him? In my opinion, he was mean and too harsh sometimes. And a bit of a bully, but I didn’t see much of it. I don’t think he molested his daughter. And the accusations of wife beating were most likely nonsensical.

Personal background:


Stuff I have been influenced by including: philosophies, ideas, meditation, religions, and other things

*

I did a ton of stuff in and related to Christianity.
Proverbs, and New Testament. A lot of Christian books like cs Lewis etc.

Fwiw, used to be an evangelical Christian.

*
I have read about the history of stoic philosophy and how it influenced the development of early Christianity (I.e. Christianity borrowed a fair bit of Christianity borrowed from stoicism).

I read a fair bit of stoicism, but didn’t like it. Sort of did like it. Sort of didn’t.
*
I read the Tao te Ching, and quotes, and discussion, and some essays/articles.

I read Voltaire’s collected works

*
About 12 weeks of practise using the Headspace meditation app.
I did some meditation in school
I read “full catastrophe living” by John Kabat Zinn, it wasn’t that useful
A tiny bit of Sam Harris on meditation idk why
I tried yoga, a bunch of time.
Tons of misc articles, and some essays, oh and some books about yoga.
I tried a bunch of different mediation stuff.
RAIN method by Tara Brach (I did it at around 2012-2016)(I had intractable health problems).

I needed some practical stuff for coping mechanisms, because I was unwell... as an adult.

Meditation is hard when your hips are borked lol. Because that messes with breathing lol. But it can be useful. I will not elaborate further. It is still useful.
*
I did some judo as a child, and read a little bit about Judo Kano and his ideas (at twelve years old).

And I read some stuff (a tiny bit) on the philosophy and training methods of Chinese martial arts, including Taoist Tao Chi. I also looked at the history of kung fu.


Much of what I did was to try to find solutions for my health. But also as coping mechanisms.

The philosophy.. a fair bit of it was just as a part of my general education?? There was a lot of Christian material.

I am just giving you this for general background.

You still might want to read the other main articles, just like how did I get this part one and two. And torso integrity compromised.

***

I did some mind body stuff. And it is kinda cool and useful.

I also read a bit about some religions and philosophies. They are kinda useful and/or interesting too.

I usually understate things though. I read lots of articles when I’m bored. And essays too.

The next two bits aren’t well written:

A bit of history


In general, at many points in the past, I tried to convince them that I did not wish to fight against them. But they didn’t listen to my words.

They just looked at my mind image impressions (ie pictures), via their brain. And also emotion readings, felt in their body.

They just looked at emotion readings. And image impressions. (Both filtered through AI, software and hardware). Instead of just listening to my words.

All we needed was a simple conversation.

Ps: I used to write things, and leave them facing the ceiling. Because I thought was a on camera. And I thought it was communicating with you…

****
****

Tiny bit more history:


Also, the curators put together all of the reactive stuff (I get upset and angry), and the seemingly gung ho stuff. But they ignore the 1000s of times I say things like:


You’re hurting me
Please stop hurting me
Please let me go
Shut up and let me go
I don’t want to fight you
Leave me be, please
Please leave me alone
Where is the off switch for this game!?!?!

And all of the times I have tried to negotiate and end to the game... ie "may i quit the game, give up the money, and the women, just to be safe"

I have probably said these things 2000+ times over the past 2 years.

Where is my montage of these 1000s of times?? Sometimes I say them over and over again. I tried so hard to end the “game”. But to no avail. They  just don’t communicate.

They communicate with their own kind by creating "must see" images and items. But they demote the content where asking for things like ending the game or making it safer. People end up not getting a fair and accurate image of things.

Mind image pictures or emotion readings don’t give a good picture?

****

A few more for the books list

We were talking about the USA WW2 anti war movement in the chat. I just wanted to post some stuff for the sake of credibility. And so, the important one is “our man in New York”.

*

Apropos of nothing:

Here are a few more for my “books that I have read “ list..

The Undercover Economist - Tim Harford
The Incredible Bread Machine - R.W. Grant
Iirc, essay/s by Travis Hirschi on delinquency etc
And a spare criminology textbook on "deviance and/or delinquency" but i cant remember the title.

*

I once bought Amanda these two books as gifts, because she likes history. And I buy thoughtful gifts. I haven't read them myself, but I have read "around" the topic on both. They are the sort of books I like also.

Our Man in New York: The British Plot to Bring America Into the Second World War - Henry Hemming

Crony Capitalism: Corruption and Development in Korea and the Phillipines - David C Kang (iirc)

FWIW, the anti war movement in the USA was very strong before entry into WW2.

We were discussing ww2 and the anti war movement in “the chat”. So I posted these books, as an aid to discussion. Just to let you know what sort of stuff I have read. It is about credibility, not “aggression”. Umm. I have a few more to add to my list as well.

Why I talk about China and the great famine


Ummmm. People keep talking to me about china and the great leap forward and the great famine etc..

Great leap forward was bad, iron policy was bad, collective agriculture was bad, 4 pests campaign was bad (eg killed too many sparrows ruined the ecological balance), quota system was bullshit, central planning was awful. When peasants couldn't meet their grain quota, they got punished for lying. It was a disaster. Many people starved. Mao started the cultural revolution and red guards to deflect blame and/or attention.

A random search on wikipedia: "The "iron policy" of the Great Leap Forward in China (1958-1962) involved a widespread push for steel production, including the construction of backyard furnaces in an attempt to rapidly industrialize the nation. This policy, coupled with other aspects of the Great Leap Forward, led to widespread economic disruption, agricultural decline, and ultimately, a devastating famine."

I don’t want to talk about it. Other than to say it was awful. And it killed a lot of people. Bad economic policy, etc. collective agriculture costs lives. Bad quotas, bad management, bad “economic planning” poor incentives.

**

It is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with a death toll of 30-40 million.

For the sake of reference, the irish potato famine killed a million people.

Or ww1 killed between 9 and 15 million people.

Or the nazis killed/executed about 12 million in their mass killings. 6 million jews, 6 million in: Soviet prisoners, ethnic poles, roma, people with disabilities, gays etc.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution

Or Cambodia’s pol pot 1.5-2 million killed link

Mao was one of the great butchers of history. 30-40 million deaths, and it was in peacetime. Add to that the deaths that occurred in the cultural revolution, 1-2 million.

It’s because of that that I make such a fuss. Xi’s father was Mao’s chief propagandist at one point lol.

I don’t want to keep talking about it, so I thought I’d just leave it here. One post. Get it out of the way.

Anal Sex

I think that anal sex is disgusting, repulsive, and bad for women’s health. I have looked at the statistics, and they suggest that anal sex is bad for the health. Also, the first time I viewed the act on a video, I felt ill. I felt a visceral sense of involuntary disgust.

I don’t want to do it. 

Ps: there is a good segment further down the page about my indoctrination into their sex ethic that needs to be read…

More about Tomoe Takahashi:


Tomoe Takahashi and Dad might have started sleeping together when she was 17?? She came to us in high school as an exchange student at the age of 16, from AFS. It was a one year long exchange. Mum and Dad were her host parents, we were her host family. She was my “sister”. Both my father and Tomoe loved table tennis. They used to travel to table tennis tournaments around NZ. I think they may have started sleeping together when she was 17ish and still on exchange. This was when we were still living in Devon Street, Taradale, Hawkes Bay. This was before my parent split up. I had absolutely no idea at the time. Zero.

My mother once told me a story about a table tennis tournament. Paul and Tomoe Takahashi went to a table tennis tournament together, and when they came back the “vibe was different”. Before the tournament, Tomoe and my mother would sew together or bake or cook. But afterwards, Tomoe only wanted to spend time with Paul. “Tomoe Takahashi wasn’t my daughter anymore, she was his daughter. She would just follow him around all day.” My mother walked in to find Tomoe sitting on his lap. She had to say “get off”. Apparently she was sitting on his lap..

This story can be found in records, my mother recounted it to me while she was staying with me.

She went home after finishing her 6th form year here in NZ. And she then finished up high school in Japan. My parents split up while she was finishing her final year in Japan. She later came back to NZ to study law at Victoria University. She stayed at my father’s house in Paraparaumu at Mazengarb road, and then stayed at Linwood Drive. She now works as a patent lawyer.

It was only after I moved to Paraparaumu, and had settled in that Dad announced that he and Tomoe were in a relationship. At this point it was too late to move back to Taradale. If I had known that it was like that, I might have made other decisions. It very much damaged my opinion of my father, and my relationship with him.

Brother: my brother loved Tomoe when she was here for the first time. And cried when she left. I think that my brother may have been upset about it.

Psychological concept: projection


My father had a bad case of Asian fever, and he was dodgy around young women.

What is projection?
“In psychology, projection is a defense mechanism where individuals unconsciously attribute their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses to others. It's a way of coping with uncomfortable emotions by displacing them onto someone or something else, often without realizing it.”

Umm. Over the past couple of years, the syndicate and my father accused me of having “Asian Fever”. I do not have “Asian Fever” lol, they’re okay, but nothing special. And also the syndicate suggested (or implied that) “if you had untrammelled access to women” you would go for really young ones… ummm, projection much? They suggested and/or implied this when I was in Dunedin.

[Hanae Motohashi came to stay after Tomoe Takahashi left. She lived in Taradale. She moved in before my parents split. And stayed after Dad left. Hanae was pretty cool, I liked her.]

Moving house:


I moved from living with my Mum to living with my Dad at age 15, because I preferred dad to mum, and the narrative I had been provided with was that my mother  had been cheating on my father (aka, adultery), and that this was the cause of their separation. I did not know at the time that they were both sleeping with miscellaneous people anyway. We were Christians, and adultery was kind of a big deal. We were “old fashioned”, or at least I thought we were?

(The narrative I was given was the mum was unfaithful, but dad was faithful).

My mother’s infidelity destroyed my trust in my mother. And very badly damaged my relationship with her.

Amanda wanted a baby:


The main reason Amanda and I kept having sex after late 2016 is that she insisted that we try to have a baby.

*

Amanda baby and pressure to have sex:

Going back to 2015/2016ish:

She had been asking for children for years and years. I had turned her down for years, insisting that we were not in a good enough financial situation. She was working and commuting. I was sick, and I wasn’t working. I was able to take care of my basic needs at this time. Secretly I believed she wasn’t fit to be a parent. I didn’t think she had the energy levels, I didn’t think she took good enough care of her health and fitness, and I didn’t think she was mentally stable enough (she had psychological issues).

It is complicated.

Eventually I changed my mind and decided that we might start trying for children. I don’t remember exactly when (before or after the thing that happened in 2016). Sometime around this time my back got ruined (see torso integrity compromised).

I did it out of duty, because she was my wife and you shouldn’t deny your wife a chance to have kids. Her “biological clock was ticking” after all. We kept having sex after my body fell apart, although it was really difficult to figure out at first. And not that much fun. I was filthy after all!! For about six years, in consistently showed up to manage to have sex in the hopes of impregnating her!?!?😅🫠 such a bizarre and awful situation!! Even though my body was totally broken down (please see “how I got this way pt 2).

There was a lot of pressure! A lot of pressure! So I gave in. I had concerns that I shouldn’t give her a child. Because I thought she wouldn’t be a good mother. But she had stuck by me for so many years, so I thought… it made sense. It had recently de-converted from Christianity. But I still thought it was probably right to give her kids. So I forced myself to manage to get the job done. And it was a challenge.. It was really hard to manage. I was pressured to keep having sex, even thought it was difficult, especially at first, due to back problems.

I mean. I was filthy, cold, unclothed, I had layers of dead skin on my back. I couldn’t wash my backside. But she needed sex, because she was ovulating? So we managed. But also she pushed to have sex more often than that, because “intimacy” is important. And she so doesn’t feel unloved. “It is hard to feel loved without sex, I never thought I’d end up in a dead bedroom marriage in my twenties”. 

I think she pushed to reinstitute sex after my back imploded with the line about dead bedroom and being hard to feel loved. And simultaneously thought we can allow the possibility of having kids.


Ps: She had an unstable home growing up. And I don’t think her mother was very good. I think her “mental health” issues stem from poor parenting by her mum.

PPS: things are not as they seem

Tried to quit your set multiple times:


I actually tried to quit your set many times. I did this for ethical reasons. I said over and over again, a while back, that I didn’t want to be a part of this. This whole telco tower abuse and control. The massive bullying. But you guys wouldn’t let me leave your set. And also lied to be and said that there is no such this as being “outside” of it. And that being “inside” the fae or “inside” it doesn’t mean much…?

I said, “Do I want to be a part of this. No, not really.” Again and again. But they wouldn’t let me leave. I wasn’t allowed to. They told me that I needed an “amnesty” to quit (ie I needed to get laid). Or that I needed a “settlement” to quit. I really wanted to quit the car, because I thought being a part of a set of people who bully and destroy lives was unethical. And I didn’t believe in the overall project and or mission of the Fae, or of em spectrum control, and control re: environment.

I tried to quit.

And when they didn’t let me, I tried to negotiate.

They still didn’t let me quit.

Note: two reasons: they destroy lives, and the em/hivemind tech

Editing: and curation:

// I will finish this one soon

Editing changes everything. It is just like reality tv. They curate sequences and images, and out them together in ways that suggest that I wanted power. Or wanted to fight. They out all of the angry stuff together in the daily updates.

But they fail to create curated sequences that show all of the times I said “I don’t want to do this, it is awful”. Or “please leave me alone” “please leave me alone”, “please stop hurting me” over and over again.

They create a false impression of my life, and my intentions. They made you guys think, long term, that I was looking for conflict, or trying to create conflict.

It is about curation.

Curation.
Curation.
Curation.

*

There really are times where I would say things like:
“Please leave me alone”
“I don’t want to do this anymore”
“Please stop hurting me”

And I’d say them again and again. Sometimes a hundred times a day. But hey don’t put those in your “daily updates” feed, do they?

*

For what it is worth, I am more interested in science and technology, and invention than in politics, and in “fighting”? But the truth gets lost along the way... and they don’t listen.

Dumb theories


They thought that you can just blank a person out and replace his personality and mind with something else. I don’t think it works like that..?? They tried so many techniques. Like the music infinite scroll + masturbation thing. For 76 days. Jerking literally off all day, while scrolling music to “flirt”. They also did the shower thing, with the wet towels again and again. That was awful. And told me to destroy my belongings. It was HORRIBLE.

[Btw, they threatened me into the “music thing”. And I wasn’t allowed to leave.]

Umm. You cannot actually blank a person out? The mind is still there. The personality is still there. The theories are just garbage?

*

They also had this idea that my mind was so far gone (after the music thing) that they needed not to even listen to my words, and they just needed to look at my brain images and pictures, or listen to my emotion readings from my body, and that this was enough. I’m not sure it works like that though. The theory is just garbage??

Misc into dump:

Christianity and lust:



When I was a Christian, I thought that lust was wrong. And even thoughts about sex where I imagined having sex with someone was a form of sin (a type of religious wrong doing). To dwell on thoughts of sex was wrong. To accidentally have thoughts about sex was okay. But to dwell on them was sin. To briefly think of sex wasn’t evil, but to fantasise deliberately was wrong. So I learned to expunge thoughts of sex from my mind. I wasn’t perfect at it, but I tried, and I was decent at it. I was supposed to “take captive every thought” (2 Corinthians 10:5). I was also supposed to think only on what was true, right, pure, noble, and lovely (Philippians 4:8). This is just for background information.

****
****

I hate resentful, unenthusiastic sex.

To sleep with someone who is unhappy with me isn’t fun??

*

I hated petty drama, and silly irrational fights with Amanda. I am a good faith person.

*

I need long periods of time to zone out, just to even feel vaguely like a human being.

*

Amanda claimed to have been molested as a child.

*

Looking back on when we got together, Amanda claimed to have been suicidal, and said that my being in a relationship prevented her killing herself.

*

Amanda showed up with spare homework (and nice food) when I got sick sometimes back in school.

*

After I got properly sick with my “mystery illness” while on the Europe trip with my mother, Amanda always believed me, and always acted like she cared about me.


Other people in my life were not so understanding. Or disbelieved that there was anything wrong with me, implying “it is all in your head”.

Indoctrination into their sex ethic


They worked to indoctrinate me into their sex ethic:

Back when I was in Khandallah, and then also in Hutt Road, they complained and implied that I didn’t want them strongly enough. And also had to developed stronger feelings of lust and desire. And that I needed a dirtier, filthier, more debauched type of lust and desire.

I was supposed to desire sin, lust and debauchery. They told me that I needed sin, lust and debauchery. They implied I was too much of an angel, or a unicorn. And that I needed to be more lustful and sinful. And that I needed anal sex. At one point, via instagram, the “doctor” prescribed anal sex five times per day. You need mud, dirt. I was encouraged to be more dodgy. I was told that I have to use the word “fuck”, not have sex with. I needed to use the word “fuck” instead of sleep with.

Also, they told me that I needed sex 10 times a day to really want it.

I was told that I had to feel particular feelings in my abdomen. And that these feelings were lust (aka desire). Wait, no. These feelings are what “want” feels like. And then I was indoctrinated into believing that I had to stimulate and increase these feelings of desire in my abdomen.

I had to feel these feeling when I looked at women, or else I didn’t “want” them.

And also, I thought I was on camera the whole time while I was “doing the music thing in bed” Honestly, the whole thing felt perverted to me.

Ps: maybe when your posture isn’t 100%, or your hips are borked, then you don’t feel or generate 100% of the sensations that the computer systems tells you that are supposed to? Or maybe the sensations actually make you feel exhausted and blah?

//I am just doing this to try to “describe” things better. It is just an explanation. Or a history.
// the fae sex ethic indoctrination part is just a story/history

// umm. I was indoctrinated into a particular epistemology of this stuff? Or a particular set of rules re: word use? You have to describe things in a particular way? And it is nonsense????

Micromanaging conversation, and therefore inner dialogue:


Think of this as vague “history”, more than a winge, or plea for justice: it is conversational:

They mollywoodle my spine and inner muscles, and upper back to micromanage our conversation. They also mind blast me. This has happened for a long, long time. They have done all sorts of things to micromanage our conversation.

This is a “dick move”, and it is awful, given that I think discursively!! I think in circles.

Other examples: if I talked out of turn, or failed to participate in the conversational games (i.e., took a break to have a cup of tea at a cafe) then they’d blast or harm me.

I have left a great deal left unsaid lol. But I’ll leave it at that for now. I might assume that you have read repurposed soul, thought reform technique. But if you haven’t, they are available.

It is really hard to have your own opinions when you’re being micromanaged like this… basically, it renders me incapable of getting up steam in thinking.

On war


In your hearts and in your minds, some of you guys might believe that you (the fae) have been at war with me since 2006. However, is it not true that some people believed in their hearts and minds that Muhammad flew a winged horse over the moon, that Jesus walked on water, and that infibulation of the vagina is sensible, or that foot binding (aka breaking women’s feet) is cute and fun. And makes them pretty. Oh, and some people think that tons of anal sex is safe and healthy (the statistics say otherwise lolololol, and if you don’t believe me, then LTR 🙃). And some people think that lip filler (in excess) is hot. And others think that putting discs in your lower lip and earlobes is attractive.

Sooooooo. Just a little bit of perspective can sometimes be helpful.

Just because you might hold a point of view in your minds and hearts, doesn’t meant that it is anything special.

Ps: C.S. Lewis said something about this when he talked about “chronological snobbery”. Well, tangentially about this. He also said a few cool things about old books worth trying.

***

Women:


People have suggested that I don’t value women. That isn’t true.

I actually value women, and see them as incredibly worthwhile creatures.

[FWIW, it was when Christianity hit the Roman world that women shifted from being property, to being full blown people (sort of, don’t overthink it) co-heirs of with Christ of the “kingdom of heaven”]. It changed their status. You might want to look the references and history sometime.

Reality tv misediting: Siobhan probably misrepresented me as a person who hates women or something. But she’s just dishonest and wants money.

Ummmm. It was out of cultural sensitivity that I even tried to have sex with any of them early on (ie, inviting Siobhan over). I.e., the culture of these “savages” (fae) requires it.

Honestly, the whole thing felt perverted to me. And also, I thought I was on camera the whole time. Btw: this was back in Khandallah are, and du pont.

Back when I was in Khandallah, they complained and implied that I didn’t want them enough. And also had to developed stronger feelings of lust and desire. And that I needed dirtier, filthier, debauched desires.

Random update.

Amanda did K-pop dancing for fitness. She was obsessed with K-pop. And used to read Koreaboo, and did a university paper about “modern Korean society”.

Holocaust jokes

Young man survives the camps and goes on to live an extraordinary life. Lots of children, grandchildren. Important part of his community. A real mensch. He lives to an old age and peacefully dies surrounded by his family.

To his surprise he awakens and has an audience with G*d. He's overwhelmed, has no idea what to say, so nervously, he starts to tell a joke. He tells a Holocaust joke.

G*d replies, "That's not funny."

The man replies, "well, I guess you had to be there."

On noise by Schopenhauer is a fun read.

It isn’t as good as “In Praise of Idleness” by Bertrand Russell, but it is still good.

Here is a link: “On noise” by Arthur Schopenhauer”


If you are a genius, you just can't think straight if you have to deal with constant interruptions. Which has been a serious problem for me personally.

If you have to deal with constant mental interruptions, it is a problem. It borks the clockwork of the mind so much you can’t even feel like a person anymore?

And if you get interrupted by questions after every two sentences, you never even have time to think.

It isn’t a perfect example tbh..

Bottom line: I place a great deal of value on peace and quiet. For me, personally. I really do.

Analogy about malls


There is a fun analogy or metaphor about self replicating mall creatures in Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett. It is clever and fun, without being enormously incisive. If you like fun, easy to read comedic fiction, then you might like to check it out.

"The various characters didn't want the mall to succeed. But the book itself seems to treat the mall as a mindless animal--it's not good or evil, it just is. It's a lifeform attempting to survive, reproduce, and defend itself. Part of the conflict could stem from the glossed-over-but-present fact that it was "too early" for mall lifeforms to evolve on the Discworld."

Information asymmetry is an economic phenomenon where one party in a transaction possesses more information than the other, potentially leading to an imbalance in decision-making.

Examples; A lot of people don’t know what it was like for me to live from 2016 to 2022. Also, I didn’t have full information re: my muscles being used to disable me.

***

At a certain point they decided that none of my words meant anything. And they just decided to use my “thought-images” to figure out what my intentions and desires were. To figure out what I wanted. Sort of. And look at brain images and responsiveness to images too?? Why not just talk?

They also wanted me to stop thinking, and to clear my brain out. And replace my consciousness. Replace and control my desires. Like an experiment.

But they wanted to bypass words?

Some hints towards political views when at 5 weka road, at twentyish:


My Papa (Ivan) was a refugee from Hungary after the failed Hungarian Uprising against the Stalinist system in 1956. There were 200000 refugees. [Note: The government at the time was Stalinist, and you couldn’t really organise parties properly, because the secret police would prevent you doing anything. You can read about it at length in Wikipedia.]

His family also faced some discrimination over their Jewish ancestry. Furthermore, I also read a fair bit of holocaust literature growing up.

*

My mother’s parents lived through ww2 England and the blitz (as children). My grandmother even talked about one of her school friends being shot at by a German plane. I think that my family was living outside of London at the time (they are from  Kent).

*

It is because of these things that I was quite skeptical of collectivist totalitarian ideologies and regimes such as Marxism, Fascism, Nazi Germany, the USSR, and Mao’s China.

*

Economics


In university economics we learned neo-classical and Keynesian stuff mostly. We learned that markets were good, command economies are bad and stupid. We learned that overly regulated and controlled economies are inefficient, but that some regulation is necessary.

From my general commerce readings, where we looked at a variety of ideologies, I decided that social democracy was good. But also had some sympathy for libertarian and (later) classical liberal ideas, mostly as a result of my concerns about “command economies” and/or totalitarianism.

From what I had learned about economics at university (and some history, such as Jung Chang’s biography of Mao), I thought that Mao was horrible, but that Deng Xiaoping and Hu Jintao were much better.

[I also liked libertarian stuff at the time because “totalitarian collectivist ideologies”, such as communism and nazism, are so dangerous and have such a massive death toll associated with them.]

Women etc

Mind, body, heart, soul

I might find their heart and soul to be repugnant, but their bodies desirable.

How could any decent person harm me as much as they have?

But I could work around it for the sake of social and societal harmony (and keeping the peace…). Paul, Xi et al creates a rube Goldberg device, as part of a business syndicate (sort of). And maybe I can work around it, to create a solution?

Grace: disambiguate

Grace: Yes, she’s attractive to me. She’s cute, I want one. In fact, I’d take two if I could get them.

Disambiguation: Regarding Grace back in Khandallah, a person might be physically desirable, but looking at a picture of them might not be physically arousing. And the rules were “get turned on” and “feel sensations”. The whole “I want you to want me”.

Explain and describe: indoctrination into their sex ideology, a history


I had to “fuck” them, instead of “sleep with them”

I had to want “lust” “sin” “debauchery”

The “Doctor”: “You need to do anal sex five times per day just to survive.” This is because I am an “angel” - and they want me to be less of an “angel” or unicorn.

There was a lot of “coaching” to help me “want” them more…

They wanted me to be mean, instead of nice??

They were extremely dogmatic about the use of the word “fuck”. It is a more aggressive term than “sleep with”.

They were also very dogmatic about the use of the word “want”. Instead of “would like to”.

I would have preferred to use language such as “I would like to sleep with them”, instead of “want” and “fuck”.

They were also very dogmatic about the word “hot” to describe women that I “want”. I hate the word hot. I would prefer to use words like beautiful, gorgeous, cute, pretty, lovely. Or terms like physically attractive, basically attractive. Or hyperbole such as perfect, amazing, fantastic. I loathe having to use the term hot (although it does have its place). I usually like to understate things.

Added: They had a particular/peculiar doctrine or theories about the ideas of "want". You had to "want" correctly. But you were not supposed to care about them, or love them? Just to "fuck" them?

Imagination and “want”

To imagine doing something dicey can create feelings of desire/lust/excitement. But the actual thing might be a disappointment. Imagination isn’t the same thing as actually “wanting”, or hoping to do it. Or a declaration of intent. You can imagine or desire something without really wanting to do it…

Still draft:

On a kinaesthetic level…

My body was totally screwed from late 2016 to 2022. My body was awful. On a “kinaesthetic level” it was like some sort of horror movie. You just can’t do stuff. You can’t move your arms properly, you can’t move your legs. You can’t move your body normally, and you have to hold everything stiffly, and brace things in specific and mind bogglingly confusing ways. There are processes I have to go through to survive. I have to ration my capacities in weird ways. I have to do awful mind-body lounges all of the time just to survive. And I really am freezing cold a lot of the time. Some of them lie and say it was deconditioning, or caffeine … it wasn’t. It is far worse than I can explain.


The level of suffering was much worse than people have been led to believe.


// my wording is just not good enough here


One: Things were worse between 2016 and 2022 that you might think.


Two: Also, from the moment they choose to release me, I estimate that it will take an estimated 12 months to recover.

5-6 women in my life “evil girlfriends”. And I’m chilling in a normal place, in a normal house, with flat ground around me. I have hidden many of the posts in my blog. I’m healthier, and getting fitter. And retraining my mind (like reading books, revising old academic stuff, practising sums, practising piano or anything). I’m not properly studying, or designing things yet.

One evil girlfriend claims to be a win, another claims to be a whatever, and one seems minimally evil.

A short discussion on the topic of theory of mind?


I don’t even know where to start?

The mind is very good at creating possibilities. And then filtering them out.

You imagine possibilities.
You envision different options.
And then you make choices.

You make judgements.

One of the things I do is come up with ideas, possibilities, and options, and then filter them out? And imagine several different futures. And pick one option?

Another thing I do is come up with jokes, and filter them out.

Hypothetical scenarios are really good and useful. You envision several hypothetical scenarios and then consider your options before doing something.

There is such a thing as a first draft when it comes to thoughts, just as there is such a thing as a first draft when it comes to essays?

Sometimes think in circles before I figure out what I actually mean??

The idea that you can mind image someone to figure out what they want seems like pseudo-Intellectual bullshit to me. Many thoughts are just a first draft. And to look at them… you just get a first draft???

But I can't explain it? I’m not allowed to use my own words to explain myself to them in full?

Just because I image it once, or think the words once, doesn’t mean I want it? Or that it is my actual opinion?

Or that I’d like it?

Things I really like, value and enjoy:

Walking
Tea
Playing games on the computer
Cats
Kittens
Normal socialising
Normal, nice food, and company
Normal books
Playing the piano, just for pleasure
Cards, board games, as a part of normal socialising
Holding someone’s hand, putting my arm around their waist, going for a walk, normal affection, like a hug, or a kiss (abstract away the awfulness of the person)
Going out to get food at a place. Normal food, like nachos
Watching random movies
When I was still less sick and much more mobile (ie, before 2016), and I had a partner, sleeping with her.
I enjoyed sleeping with her quite a bit up until age 23. After that, it was still nice from age 23-27. Just that.. my health wasn’t good?

I used to like studying. Learning new things. And coming up with ideas in my ideas books.

And a bit of fitness stuff.

Umm. Listening to music?!?!?!!?!!!!!??!!

Note: I used to like board games a lot with my family growing up. Such as risk and polyconomy. I loved board games and card games with my father, brother and extended family. As well as family friends. Also blitz (the card game).

I like the things that I like!?

Random story telling about math:


I once got put in remedial math at Lake Taupo Christian School (my primary school). That was obviously nonsense.
After that, things went downhill pretty fast. And I left not too long afterwards, and I managed to get shifted to a new school even though my father was on the LTCS school board.  At my next school (Taupo Intermediate) they put me in the top class 🫠.

To get shifted, I kept complaining to my parents that the school was a joke. There was more to it, but that is all for now.

*

Later on in life I was top of math in high school (I won the senior mathematics prize).

***

University


I chose to do a commerce degree at university because I was good at math, statistics, economics and accounting in high school. I believed that there was good money for people who studied things like finance and accounting, so I took a degree in commerce, majoring in accounting and finance. I was good at it, and enjoyed it. I was leaning towards finance over accounting towards the second year, because I missed not doing more maths.


I had to drop out at the start of the third year due to poor health. And then took the year off to hopefully improve my health, which was awful. And then I tried to get back to study at the start of the next year. And I managed to get through 6 weeks before I dropped out due to continuing poor health. And that was it for formal higher education. I also did a lot of reading over the years. And then listened to a large number of free lectures from openYale (please see “books I have read” for more information).


I dropped out twice.

I looked at studying either science or engineering beforehand, but ultimately decided on commerce.

Ignaz Semmelweis - Hungarian physician and scientist

Look at his life, work, and his eventual death. And how he was treated lol.

Hand washing guy; midwife

This is what I think of human nature haha

See also the “Semmelweis reflex”, and 

And maybe google “systems 2 thinking” (as opposed to systems 1 thinking). Sometimes you have to think twice.

Note: some people think that it will take one week, or even just a few days, for me to recover/rehabilitate. I think that it will take me a year to fully rehabilitate and recover.

Have you guys ever heard of the great tulip mania of the 1600s? It is an example of a speculative bubble, and a crowd madness. People invested/speculated madly in tulips, to try to make money.

It’s worth reading about.

Here is an example of a book in the topic. It is exactly the type of book that I love, and would randomly pick up. From a library returns trolley.

If they asked nicely, "I want babies", then maybe yes.

If they did not ask, and tried to force it, then probably unsuitable??

The voluntary provision of impregnation services might have been an option??

But the violent coercive element meant that I judged the women to be unsuitable.

During the 6 years of torment (2016-2022), my teeth went crooked. The issues throughout my body and skull were such that my two front teeth went crooked. The situation regarding my skeleton/body/muscles pulled my teeth out of shape. They were always straight before then.

I was also really cold, and covered in dead skin in those 6 years. I couldn’t wear proper teeth.

****
****

To be able to move is really important to me: 


Here are some things that I might have enjoyed doing from age 18 until today 36 years old: basic examples…


Basic casual sports, for fun and fitness: table tennis, hockey, touch rugby, badminton, casual soccer, tag bull rush, chain tag, climbing trees, flag/tag rugby, archery, crossbow target shooting, air gun target practice, handball, obstacle course, non-stop cricket, softball, baseball, a tiny bit of bouldering and indoor climbing, roller blading, snowboarding. I really love basic casual table tennis. It would have been better that I hadn’t given up table tennis.


Basic casual martial arts, and training derived from it, a smattering:


Muay Thai, Boxing, Karate (kata, mostly), Kung Fu (stances and sequences), Kendo, Fencing, HEMA (sword and buckler, polearm). Simply being able to hit/punch/kick bags, focus mitts, and Thai pads, is really satisfying. Doing really good kicks to Thai pads is amazing. And knees as well. I loved it when I was younger.


Dance: rock n roll, and some misc (a tiny bit of ballroom and Latin, maybe something modern/contemporary).


Yoga + stretching: stuff like crows pose, downwards facing dog, ability to touch my toes comfortably, good control over, and strength in my “core muscles”.


Tons of walking, especially in scenic places. But also to daydream. Walking while daydreaming is one of my favourite things in life.


Gymnastics: I’d have liked to have done a front lever when younger. Tightrope walking, juggling, basic tumbling, hand stand pushups etc. And a cartwheel, walking on my hands maybe. Not hardcore gymnastics though. I can’t even do pushups or squats now, or lift weights. Or do anything.


But I was denied any access or ability to do that that sort of thing for 18 years. And I can’t do them now. It is awful. Eighteen years of health being denied to me. It sucks.


Ummmm. And even if I recover and rehabilitate, I won’t be able to do much. Or at least not as much as I want to. I have had 18 years of problems. Including the six years of torment 2016-2022. And also the years of “many problems” 2011 to 2016.. (please see some of my other pages).


Even if I am allowed to recover, some of the damage is likely lasting, and quite significant. Rehabilitation will probably take one full year, and I will probably never fully recover from the cumulative 18 years of problems.


*


If I get a fair bit better, I’ll want to do a small proportion of this sort of stuff.

We look for three things when we hire people. We look for intelligence, we look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they don’t have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you’re going to get someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb.

Education and lifelong learning:


I’m planning to do a bit of this sort of stuff sometime, partly as a hobby, and partly because it is useful.



I would like to finish my accounting degree at the Victoria University of Wellington (either online or in person). I would also like to do DSDN101: Design Visualisation and DSDN111: Design Composition at the design campus in Te Aro (in person).

I am also interested in doing about four basic courses in mechanical engineering at Weltec. I like the look of Engineering fundamentals, technical literacy, engineering CAD and mechanics. You can take a look at the course selection sheet through the link for more info. I don’t want to do the full two year course.

Maybe a short course or two (one night a week locally) such as introduction to weldingplastering, painting, or tiling.

I can do things like basic electronics and basic woodworking/carpentry, and introduction to computer science, in my own time, and in my own way.

Other options are: ENGR101 at vic uni or a certificate in creativity are also okay.

I need to get healthy, fit and strong enough before starting back at study though.


Doing a science degree may have been nice 😞, but it is too late for that now… I like biology and physics.


****
****


To get fit/healthy, once I have safety, peace and quiet:




*

This is just rehabilitation etc (note: bent rows are dumbbell, not barbell, all light weights, build up over time. Like 6-12 months etc… maybe 18 months). Walking and squats/hip hinges are all that I would need for about 12+ weeks. The rest I would do over time. Maybe jumping jacks instead of jump rope.

Will Durant and philosophy


Will Durant conceived of philosophy as a form of total perspective or of seeing things from the perspective of the whole. I like this idea. If you look at the whole of history, and you look at it holistically, then maybe you can call that itself a perfectly good approach to philosophy. Personally, I wouldn’t call it the only, or indeed my only approach to philosophy, but it is a good approach. And a good start.

As part of that, I might look at a primer or two on philosophy, such as Will Durant’s Story of philosophy. Or an intro course to philosophy from a university lecturer such as The Great Ideas of Philosophy, 2nd Edition - Daniel N. Robinson, 60 lectures, Oxford (both of which I did). I also got really into history itself, please see my “books I have read” page for more information. I love a bit of history. I listened to lecture series and/or read books on the history of France, England, America, China, Japan, India, Italy and New Zealand. I looked at the history of Rome too (of course). I also listened to lectures on the topics of the industrial revolution, the history of science, and the history of epidemics.

It’s not everything. But it’s a good start, you know?

*

Quote from Wikipedia (edited slightly),

“Will Durant and his wife Ariel Durant sought to unify and humanize the great body of historical knowledge, which had grown voluminous and become fragmented into esoteric specialties, and to vitalize it for contemporary application. As a result of their success, he and his wife were jointly awarded the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 1968 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.”

*

I also have read a collected works of Voltaire, The Tao te Ching, and a number of works from the Christian tradition. There is a lot more stuff to look at on the page “books I have read” though. And stuff that never made it to that list.

I also studied economics, accounting, and a fair bit of mathematics and statistics. These also give a person a few other lenses through which to assess reality.

*

A misc quote I like


Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing things historians usually record; while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks of the river.

Will and Ariel Durant

*

Explanation from google automatic ai:

“This quote, attributed to Will Durant, uses the metaphor of a river to describe civilization. The "stream" represents the grand narratives of history, often focused on conflict and political events, while the "banks" symbolize the quieter, everyday aspects of life where people build, love, and create. Durant argues that historians often focus too much on the dramatic events of the stream, neglecting the more fundamental and ultimately more important aspects of civilization that occur on the banks.”

I reckon it can make sense to look at it from a few points of view. The normal people’s point of view, the military generals’ point of view, the military foot soldiers’ point of view, the economic history point of view, the technological point of view, and the “grand narrative” point of view.

The two simplest of these are: normal people point of view, and the grand narrative point of view. The other stuff often comes into the bargain.

*

Will Durant is one of my favourite philosophers. Along with Voltaire (although, I don’t always like Voltaire).

Background for access to technology, disambiguate:


Back @ 14, I couldn’t even play hl1 engine games on my home pc (or morrowind). (No gfx card). Also, my mother downgraded from adsl to dialup.

I couldn’t even play the games I wanted to mod on the hardware that I had? I desperately wanted to make games in the half life one mod community, or possibly similar.

For the geeks, I had a hewlett packard with integrated graphics and no agp port. Just pci. It was pretty old, and not very good to begin with. It was a weird model tbh. The lack of gfx card meant I couldn’t run morrowind or hl1 on my pc. Integrated graphics = totally incompatible with the games software

(My mother banned me from 1st person shooters, and I had to play quake three arena (demo version) in secret. And in silence. I got caught once, and got in trouble. I still played them at the walkers place.

Also, I couldn’t run macromedia flash (it lagged, tried the demo) all that well or CAD all that well. (I used demo versions). Hardware was too weak. (Tried demo modes solidworks CAD and rhino3d). Render times for rhino 3d were astronomical, it would take hours (days). It lagged even in the edit window.

Umm. I tried paintshop pro (but too many layers lagged iirc). I didn’t want to fork out for photoshop if I couldn’t use it on my hardware.

I wanted to make flash animations like on new grounds like xiao xiao. And 3d graphics for half life, and 2d textures in photo shop. And program c++. I wanted computer graphics and programming. Both. (And participate in mod projects. Participate, but not project lead)

I did 2d gif animations using publisher, paint and a gif animator. I did still animation frames, and then put them into the gif animator.

I just made do with what I had??

I used game maker.io, and I tried out a bit of everything. I taught myself html, JavaScript, css. I tried to learn java 2 and failed. I made a space invaders clone. And I made a soccer vector physics engine game. I tried out a bunch of 2d and 3d stuff. I made objects with metal and wood and gemstones in rhino, rendered it nicely. The metal and glass lantern crashed the computer when I tried to render. I stalled out a bit, and then moved town. Sometimes you just fall through the cracks? Or life is a little bit hectic. We moved around a bit. Parents split at 13, I changed high schools at 15 yo. 

Not a sob story lol

Ps: Brett Walker (my best friend’s father) had/has a degree in comp sci (and one in economics)


From the church website:
A Hawke's Bay local, with a Bachelor of Theology from the Bible College of NZ and a Masters of Theology (New Testament) from Otago. He also has degrees in Computer Science & Economics from Massey. Brett is married to Sue and they have two boys, Paul and David.

Brett has been at St Columba's since 1999, previously he was the Minister at Flagstaff Union Parish in Dunedin. 

He has special interests in outreach programmes, the Chaplaincy at EIT and the Interdenominational Ministers' Association. He is also a keen

What is a philosopher?


Answer: I genuinely don’t know??

A philosopher can brainstorm in public, can engage in socratic dialogue to explode bad thinking, and ask questions to discomfit the wealthy and powerful.

He can also propose ideas for new structures of society, and spitball ideas re: statecraft..? Just to stimulate intelligent thought on the matter. As a thought experiment.

Umm. He can elucidate, highlight, explain and describe.. maybe point out the possibilities that exist but have been ignored a bit. Or just remind people of history. (Industrial Revolution, semiconductor revolution, internet/information revolution, invention of the printing press, possibility of getting rid of patents etc). He can just plain bring attention to things. He isn’t trying to get elected.

A philosopher in the western tradition != the same thing as a philosopher in the eastern tradition.

General Information about Xi Jinping’s family:


His brother is Xi YuanpingHe went to PLA Information Engineering University. Umm. What is information engineering? Is it the same thing as information warfare? Is it the same thing as propaganda? Iirc, the first time I looked at the website, it had the name “information warfare”, but maybe I misremember.

Xi Yuanping works for some sort of energy conservation and environmental protection association?? But I can’t find it online. Perhaps some sort of sinecure?

His wife Zhang Lanlan is PLA. Supposed to be some great beauty. She vanished from public view in 2008, only to reappear six years later married (with children) to Xi Yuanping. She was once dubbed the military's first beauty and the Chinese Marilyn Monroe.

Xi Jinping’s family seems to be extremely wealthy


Ps: take any info from USA intel sources with a grain of salt

Education:

What educational level does Xi Jinping have?
Did he do a 3 or 4 year degree in chemical engineering at tsinghua?
What were his marks like?
Is Tsinghua a university or structured more like a polytechnic?

This is out of curiosity, not in a spirit of accusation.

Education? Ability?

There is some stuff here regarding Xi’s education, and comparison with his father.

At 14 I was interested in the hacker ethic and abolition of patents.

Blue sky thinking incoming: What if… you could have decentralised semi autonomous* automated factories (using robots, 3d printers etc) that didn’t need patents. You just load the blue prints and/or recipes into the “system” and push go. You can produce stuff legally at the local level (Wellington, Auckland, Palmerston North, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier). Like computer chips and pharmaceuticals. Not fully push button, still a fair bit of labour - just no patents! All design from overseas becomes de facto open source. Read between the lines. Imagine a future free from patents.

You liberate and democratise technology and manufacturing for the masses.

*autonomy means they do most of the work without too much input from people

Factories without patents lol.

*

Information wants to be free.

*

The hacker ethic is a philosophy and set of moral values within hacker culture. Practitioners believe that sharing information and data with others is an ethical imperative. The hacker ethic is related to the concept of freedom of information, as well as the political theories of anti-authoritarianism, anarchism, and libertarianism.

Some of the same ethos can be applied to sociology or economics or accounting?

Map is not the territory:

Prostitutes in the service of the military industrial complex of the United States of America (space X etc), working on behalf of international finance and global capital, to prevent revolution against global capital (aka capitalist imperialism - see Lenin) by placating men through the provision of “relationship services”.

The excuse of environmental collapse is being used (see club of Rome, Limits to Growth*, and the concept of carrying capacity).

This is just one way of looking at it.
Sometimes reframing a problem is a good way to analyse a problem.

// use vague, non linear thinking here 

Three interesting people:

Mai Zedong: collectivisation of agriculture, starvation, cultural revolution
Norman Borlaug: green revolution
Deng Xiaoping: special economic zones, market reforms

Each of them is worth studying.

Also…


Currency and central banking:

There was also some finagling and mollywoodling of currency stuff along the way…

I don’t fully remember how it worked.. but China engaged in weird banking/currency/central banking stuff (with the implicit consent of the West) to artificially boost their manufacturing and export sector.

I ripped this from Wikipedia:

Until 2005, the value of the renminbi was pegged to the US dollar. As China pursued its transition from central planning to a market economy and increased its participation in foreign trade, the renminbi was devalued to increase the competitiveness of Chinese industry. It has previously been claimed that the renminbi's official exchange rate was undervalued by as much as 37.5% against its purchasing power parity.[5] However, more recently, appreciation actions by the Chinese government, as well as quantitative easing measures taken by the American Federal Reserve and other major central banks, have caused the renminbi to be within as little as 8% of its equilibrium value by the second half of 2012.[6] Since 2006, the renminbi exchange rate has been allowed to float in a narrow margin around a fixed base rate determined with reference to a basket of world currencies. By 2015, the IMF assessed it as suggested to be no longer undervalued.[7] The Chinese government has announced that it will gradually increase the flexibility of the exchange rate. As a result of the rapid internationalization of the renminbi, it became the world's 8th most traded currency in 2013,[8] 5th by 2015,[9] but 6th in 2019.[10]

If you look into it, and read between the lines, and have a decent understanding of basic economics, it is all pretty interesting.


I can’t remember though. Something to do with debt, balance of trade, and inflation.


***


Accounting and debt


Also, there is some weirdness about accounting practises. Also, about debt levels.

“China has made progress in developing national balance sheets, concerns remain about the reliability and transparency of the data. Investors and analysts need to be aware of these issues and exercise caution when interpreting China's economic data.”

Ummm. Chinese SOEs are heavily in debt (I think), and local governments are very heavily in debt. I don’t even know how they handle land values/prices.
Take Chinese economic data with a grain of salt? I guess?

How do you cope with fluctuations? Maybe Keynesian stimulus spending? Local government borrows money, invests in building fixed assets at the local level, eg housing, creates jobs. But how do you value the land? How do you value the created assets like houses, malls, apartment building, infrastructure etc. What do any of the numbers mean?

How do you value the housing, land, building etc? Who owns it, who uses it? Who depreciates it? How is the debt secured? Is that sort of thing what China’s economic growth is based on?

Conclusion: when I look at China’s banking, economic, and accounting situation, I end up with more questions than answers.

Ps: Mao: the unknown story by Jung Chang is a good one.

Someone asked me, "why were you interested in Korea":

My answer is that I studied economics at university, and I learned about the four Asian tigers:

This is from wikipedia:

“The Four Asian Tigers are the developed Asian economies of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Between the early 1950s and 1990s, they underwent rapid industrialization and maintained exceptionally high growth rates of more than 7 percent a year.”

They were an economic success story, alongside Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong

I also have heard about some Korean history from a geopolitics lecture series a while ago. And a few miscellaneous books.

Good platforms, genuine open conversation (like “free expression”, as protected by the nz bill of rights, but a little different

Appropriate value being placed upon the written word

Physical Means of production are on nz soil, owned by nz somehow owned, partially agnostic on structure. Eg, factories, extractive industry, clothing manufacturing, smelting, car parts, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food processing etc. Can do much of stuff in house, international trade can’t have you over a barrel as easily if you can just do a lot in house. Also, robot factories.

Don’t trust anything the system tells you. What comes up must come down. If anyone uses the word “post scarcity” idk idk. Study the History of the Industrial Revolution you want to understand. Life and history get weird.

In the west once the Industrial Revolution increased productive capacity, the people used the labour movement (strikes and other organised movements) to gain an 8 hour working day, among other things. Like better wages. Look at the history. Look at the history of labour in the UK, look at it in NZ and look at it in the USA. “History of labour movement” and history of 8 hour working day. I didn’t explain it well.


8 hours work, 8 hours leisure, 8 hours rest.

Then people could use some of the leisure time for education. Working class schools and education facilities crossed up automatically.


Self education was extremely common (from books) also.

Ps: if you want to understand where the productive capacity comes from in society, look at the Industrial Revolution by “Patrick N Allit” on amazons great courses or a book on the Industrial Revolution. Also: I read a book on the “green revolution”. Norman Ernest Borlaug

//first draft, very poorly worded because I’m unwell

I wanted to make peace 

Back in Raine Street, there was a point in time where I had learned a bit more about “foundation” and how it worked. I understood the structure better. It is kind of distributed throughout the population. It is not a total top down billionaire + corporation + banking/finance system.


There are these “philosopher king”, “foundation”, “beagle”, “vrill”, “nail hammerers” distributed throughout the population, like a caste, or oligarchy, kind of like the alpha class in Brave New World, or the Inner Party in 1984.


I’ll call them “foundation” or “philosopher kings” gone wrong. Or “evil foundation” lol


I learned about them, and wanted to make peace. Might be unethical to destabilise their system.


To make matters more complicated, foundation is trying to do a re-org of human civilisation to respond to issues like environmental degradation, long term resource scarcity, and over population (I.e. carrying capacity and other club of Rome stuff).


Given that these people are an integral part of human civilisation, is it an ethical and or moral act to attempt to destroy foundation? Ummm. Is it ethical to use “reverse social engineering” to destroy it? For example, a few court victories, a good story, published in the media, as a way to give me a platform to release my theories of reverse social engineering to the world (so that they can then use the theories to destroy it).I also think that it is too arrogant for me to assume that I can actually destroy it, even if I tried (the system that makes the caste/oligarchic thing work).


Is it ethical to do something that would cause massive instability at such a time as a re-org in the face of massive environmental issues… to destabilise an immoral system at the wrong time may in fact be an immoral act.


To join feels unethical to me, because they are cruel to other people? They bully, so badly.


But then I wanted to parley and negotiate?


But they wouldn’t let me.


That was just my first draft. It is too arrogant, I know. But I’ll rewrite it later.

In a casual and colloquial sense, I might use the word "torture". But if I were being cross examined, I might say that, "It is a highly inappropriate form of pain and suffering related political mistreatment."

Am I paining a picture, or am I answering a question in court?

For my internal mapping of reality, I might call it something else. But my "internal mapping of reality", aka "internal cartography" is a different matter altogether. I might call it "political mistreatmenting".

Btw, I think my psoas+iliacus have been janky since infancy (see “how did I get this way part one)

The Barbra Streisand effect, named after singer Barbra Streisand, is a phenomenon where an attempt to hide or censor information online results in its increased visibility. Essentially, efforts to suppress something online, like a photograph or a statement, paradoxically lead to more people learning about it. 

In 2003, Barbra Streisand sued a photographer and the California Coastal Records Project over an aerial photograph of her Malibu mansion, claiming it was a privacy violation. The lawsuit, which sought to suppress the image, ultimately brought the photograph to the attention of a much wider audience than it would have otherwise reached. While the suit was dismissed, the publicity surrounding it resulted in over 420,000 visits to the website hosting the image in one month.

Iliacus + Psoas


Long term artificial tightening of the iliacus and psoas borks the hips/pelvis region.


Deactivates the glutes/quads a bit. Sort of, over time. Thus weakens your posture,  and worsens your walking gait. Pelvis and ankles and feet are affected. Also it just deactivates stuff around the hips and pelvis region, in a generalised vague way.


It takes time. But it sucks. And it has a long term effect.


I’ll talk about it more later.


*****


[umm. When stuff is not so good with your hips and pelvis, the arms and back compensate a bit. I have often used my upper back to compensate. It’s really difficult to explain]

By the way, my “minds eye” has been damaged.

If you like viewing stuff in the past: can view that dinner, later breakfast with Lesley and Amanda at the same venue (outside), where I had black pudding. Or where I play what a wonderful world on piano at 17 in Linwood Drive (I used to be okay ish at piano).

Some guys looked at my past, where I tried to fix some stuff in the garage at weka road. And I just couldn’t do well, because of a sore back (tightened inner torso muscles).

Are people able to see the time I went to that restaurant? The last time I went out with friends? The one that celebrity viewed? Because I couldn’t even enjoy a meal out with friends??

Repost on reading:

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.

// Bump/edit post from ages ago


Maybe people should:


Have conversations, using words

Form a relationship, using words

Before using enough force to CRIPPLE a man.


Back at 6 Raine Street:

1. I wanted a GOOD FUCKING LAWYER

2. I wanted my father off of the case, I did an open letter on phone.

3. I wanted my body to be strong enough to do whatever I needed to do.


Please use words, like a reasonable man, instead of trying to control me with force.


If you are nice to me, we can negotiate like reasonable people. We still might disagree, but it is a start.


Please be careful with people like Paul. They lie constantly. They can fool you. And they escalate conflict often.

Friday, 6th June



I’m trying to analyse what happened for all of those years (age 27 to 34ish)


What happened ? Age 27 - 33

I think that someone infiltrated my nervous system via telco tower, then hijacked my nervous system, to tighten my back muscles and to keep my back muscles tightened long term. I think they remained “inside” my nervous system for years, maintaining tightness. That is probably why I was so unwell for those seven years. My tentative theory at least. I think that Joseph (Matthew, maybe paul, Siobhan tooki shifts sometimes) infiltrated my nervous system, tightened my back muscles (longissimus) and kept them tight for years. By shifts, I mean all day long. Every day. Which… kept me locked into a horrible state for years.


A state that I couldn’t escape from… you cannot fix that problem until the person untightens things.


Is that how it works? I honestly don’t quite know.


They took shifts?! To maintain the tightness of my back muscles for years??!?!

Anti safetyism

“Make playgrounds dangerous again”

Adventure playgrounds should be built in all normal towns. Fenced off. But you need an app to help you to get in, because there is electronic gate. Age restrictions, or supervision rules. Government funded.

[Children 10+ allowed, 7-10 only with close parental supervision.]



Silly, but I always thought they should exist. Playgrounds in nz are way too safe. When I was a child, I always wanted them.

Playgrounds of the type that are 2+ stories high made of bare wood, logs, cargo nets, slides, swinging bridges etc, I forget the details. Climbing ropes and walls.

****

My mum wasn’t a “safety ist”. she bought me power tools at 8 years old. Including a jigsaw with oscillating blade.

Idk, just had a brainwave:

Treat as inspiration: International treaties against the use of nz airspace for wave lengths in em spectrum over a certain amount. A lot of this stuff is high wave length stuff. Or at least a ban (by referendum in your airspace). Your radio stations aren’t affected. But maybe your ummmm nervous system interference systems are. Everything else remains viable. Umm. Idk about gps. Someone smarter than  me can figure that out. But tbh, triangulation is always possible.

Or, can sue the nz govt under bill of rights for leasing airspace and/or electromagnetic spectrum to satellite companies and/or foreign entities that are then used for anything other than gps and sky tv.

I also played RuneScape, and hung out on the off topic forums.

Hoops I tried jumping through:
In Ashburton, I wanted to be left alone, so that my mind and body might be safe. I tried to quit by saying that I don’t want it.

I also tried to quit after the Robyn thing.

I also tried to jump through a bureaucratic hoop to get the “magic wand”, by sleeping with Dasha.

Basic social psychology textbook, psych 114, from a uni, read it, take notes, and google stuff. (write questions in your notes, and get answers to your questions from an encyclopedia/Wikipedia/google. That is how you do intro to psych) Read for only 15 minutes per day.

Then do intro to law from your localised equivalent of the NZ open polytech: LES501 Introduction to the Legal System

Or the ACCY 130: Accounting for Accountability and Decision Making equivalent (it used to be accy111, then it got split into 130 and 131)

Then maybe 2-3 history courses from openYale



Other misc:

Accy 131, 223, 225 and 231 look good too, but idk

****

Other random idea: government shall not rent airspace and electromagnetic/radio spectrum to foreign powers, or foreign registered entities. Can only be rented to companies and other entities registered in New Zealander. By petition, straight into part of some sort of constitution. Nz constitutional law is weird btw?


Maybe can do tort law for misuse of spectrum by nz entities, registered companies? But start special court, with lower level of evidence. Like “the court of electronic law”, same level as district court. Appeals feeds through to high court. Kind of like family is parallel to district court.

In some ways:

I treated their beliefs as some kind of sex religion, and myself as an anthropologist. And i was trying to be culturally sensitive. I kind of half heartedly treated the fae/oligarchs as a primitive tribe in my head (like David Attenborough documentary narration).


But tbh, I just wanted to leave.

And this stalker does absolutely mental stuff like engage in self mutilation relative to the stalking.

And what if the stalking escalates to violence?

I’m actually too tired now to think, please don’t hold me to this:


I thought back in Raine street that the “set of people are “foundation” or Plato’s “philosopher kings” but that they had lost their way a bit? And become a little bit evil.


I thought they mistreated people, and that it was kind of awful??


But I also thought that it might not be moral to destroy them. Because if you destroy them, it might create a power vacuum and/or destabilise society.


It might cause massive instability!?


And at that point, “evil foundation” was rearranging society and controlling them, and reorganising the world economy, for the sake of managing the resource scarcity issue (oil, fertiliser, top soil, fresh water etc), as well as other general environmental/economic viability issues.


It seemed really dumb/unwise to intervene?


Am I also felt that to assume I could change it was a little arrogant.


The methods I might have used were based in “reverse social engineering” but honestly, you just figure it out as you go. (What I would have done back then, if I thought it was rights, is use my story, and a few court cases, to get publicity.  Give the system a blood nose that way. And then release my ideas/principles in full. And then write up a few applications of my ideas/theories, before getting out of the way).


Is it moral to destroy a class of people who oppress the common people if destroying them might cause instability and chaos? Particularly just as the ”system” is trying to execute a plan for dealing with long term environmental/resource issues (see also, club of Rome)



Underlying material of D: genius, polymath, inventor, 186 etc. is it arrogant?


If you need (academic) example:


Dumb, easy example of rev soc eng:

Misc quotes, and discursive thinking

I liked always liked this quote,

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing things historians usually record; while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks of the river.


Will and Ariel Durante


I liked Will Durant, on both history and philosophy.

At one point, Will Durant was my favourite philosopher.

Also, I have read his primer on philosophy and listened to the Amazon great courses lecture series: The Great Ideas of Philosophy, 2nd Edition - Daniel N. Robinson, 60 lectures. (Some people think I’m totally ignorant on philosophy 🤷).

I then fill in the gaps with an encyclopedia, or google. Or a few primers on a few basic philosophers. (And a tiny smidge of Marcus Aurelius and about half a book worth Nietzsche. And a slight smattering of Vonnegut, oh, and we did postmodernism day one in business school)

Will Durant, story of philosophy


If I had the energy and time, I might try reading something like Poststructuralism: A Very Short Introduction by Catherine Belsey.

Or short introduction to Heidegger

 [to understand the postmodernism stuff.. at this point, a few short introductions to individual philosophers are okay. But wouldn’t bother. Just read a history of dictionaries, and a history of history, and you understand. Read Herodotus, and get the gist of the “invention” of history. Read a book about journalism, and understand the concept of source materials. And practise a bit of APA referencing. It’s not hard.]

“Durant conceived of philosophy as total perspective or seeing things sub specie totius (i.e., "from the perspective of the whole")” found quote online.


A note on history:

The Will Durant history of civilisation is good too, but I never finished it!? Just the first couple of volumes. Instead I just listened to full lecture series on history from openYale and great courses. Ummm. I also read sapiens (anthropology), and, guns germs and steel (geography). Soo. Yeah, whatever. And geopolitics etc. (fwiw, geography is legit)

Referendum idea: that nz must not rent its airspace, or radio frequency spectrum to others. And must police its airspace and spectrum.

Govt shall create and maintain a monopoly on telco hardware such as towers and lines. For the sake of national and domestic security. As well as economic stability/security (But possibly not a monopoly in retail).

Wholesale and distribution and hardware (telco towers, residential and normal neighbourhood fiber cables)


[Possibly police it by means of scanning, monitoring and conventional civil law suits against satellite providers of technology] use police, or equivalent. Not military. Just sue whomever owns the satellites, if they use spectrum that doesn’t belong to them.


*****

Point three mollywaddle radio wave responsiveness turrets from the ground at the satellites. Triangulate.

This statement stimulates intelligent thought. It is not a fully created idea.


Point a telescope at the satellite. But it’s radio wave receiver satellite. It looks at em spectrum. And then push the molly waddle button on your em pusher magnetic beam interference ray. It is analogue. This is not an idea, just a fun stimulate thought idea. But make it a replicable DIY project. Imagine if every single 5 man team of physics and engineering students, with some other engineering support could make one? Every university globally can make one. To freak and buzz the satellites. Like phone phreakers. Just some thoughts. Only for the cognitive .01 percent. Hacker mentality. I’m not the boss of you. Information wants to be free.

You just scan the skies to find the glowing ball of electromagnetic radiation. And then you push general electromagnetic radiation at it. Like a laser pointer. It’s not that complicated??

Triangulate with your local friends. You can even molly waddle the local telco towers. Maybe 50 telescope beam pointers mollywaddlers per town. They’re fun. It’s a hobby, like phreaking.

Off the shelf parts? Less than 10k a piece. Grass roots.

Ummm. But you still need at least two “lenses” to view it through. Eg: economics, accounting, sociology, law, criminology, architecture or whatever. It is multidisciplinary on top of the history stuff.

Physical (and other) mistreatment: an open ended discussion


Does being held in an uncomfortable position for long periods of time cause suffering? And is it inappropriate? What if you’re being held in a position that is both uncomfortable and precarious by your own muscles? How long do you have to be held in this position for it to be considered severe, and highly inappropriate.



Some examples (lifted from the amnesty international website):


I’m not actually sure these are used in China:


Tiger bench


The individual’s legs are tightly bound to a bench, and bricks are gradually added under the victim’s feet, forcing the legs to bend backwards.


‘Diaodiaoyi’ (Hanging restraint chair)


A person seated in this restraint chair will be unable to lean back or have his/herfeet rest on the ground. The chest will be bound to a board while the hands are cuffed, rendering the entire body immobile.


Or iron chair, Or stress position. Like deep squat. Or walking on a soft surface.



Squashy ground:


The floor here is vinyl on top of something squashy.


Keeping me on squishy ground hurts my feet.


I have to brace my feet and ankles constantly, and hold myself stiffly to cope with the squishy floor.


This has a flow on effect to my spine and back.


***


The restraints are on the inside of my body.

The iliopsoas is used as a restraint internally. To lock my body into a compressed position, and keep it that way.


It only works properly once you’ve broken the connection between shoulder blades and thoracic.


Yank on the restraint to cause pain/suffering every time you don’t do what you’re told.


Or a slight niggle when you try to sleep, or you stop talking…


This denies me the proper use of limbs, eyes, and breathing apparatus.


There are niggles to the part of my body that is broken (thoracic) to keep it broken. They keep yanking on spine via iliopsoas, to keep me broken


Being bothered physically every time you try to rest causes extremely severe sleep deprivation.


I can’t wash.


I can’t read easily, without back issues.

Basically in social confinement, and I’m suffering from lack of normal social interaction. Phone calls are a problem, due to pain.

I’ve had spinal/back problems since I was at least 23 that affected my ability to even lay down in bed and read, let alone study? And I didn’t know why at the time. They were related to abrade tech, and tightened inner muscles.

Some societies hobble you by putting a weight on your ankle. A ball and chain. But in my case: The shackles and manacles are on the inside of my body instead of wrists and feet.

Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

“sin is when you treat people as things, including yourself,". This quote, which appears in Carpe Jugulum, pratchett, emphasizes that objectifying individuals, whether others or oneself, is a fundamental wrong.

Amanda is an investigator for the Tertiary Education Commission. She was an investigator for NZQA and the Charities Commission, and  taught both policing and criminology to the NZ police. She has a Bachelor of Arts from Victoria University (criminology), first class honours. Investigation, regulation and policing etc were topics of conversation. She’s on LinkedIn. I also did her university readings years ago and used to proofread her essays.

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.

Psych engineering:

War is a fantastic form of Keynesian stimulus and mild economic nationalism /sarcasm


Misc quotes:

“WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives”

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

// here is some misc, I’ll tidy it up later

// I finished the blog post, idk what to do with the rest



Caving in someone’s thoracic spine, with very tight “abrade”, is awful in-and-of-itself but it also causes massive nervous system issues, and massive mind-body issues. If you destroy someone’s spine/torso as badly as they did to me at age 27, you can keep it that way by just keeping the abrade tight. And there would be literally NOTHING I could do to change it. That is what “J” did to me.


I haven’t had proper eyesight in many years. I haven’t had glasses for at least about 7 years. I haven’t had proper eyesight etc. basically blind for years. My eye sight is really, really bad…


Umm. The issues caused me problems with my ability to socialise, in so many ways. I couldn’t have a proper conversation at some points etc. I couldn’t have a decent phone call for example...


Note: spine as bent reed analogy. You can’t “lean on it”. And it cannot support you.. it cannot support your limbs properly….


************

I found a piece of glass in my mouth from my morning cup of tea.

Another random stub of information:


2nd may, draft

As a result of a wifi conversation:


Here is another attempt to communicate:


“Stop thinking”

You wanted a 186 genius to stop thinking. And you pushed your agenda with massive violence, by breaking my “back” - you caved in my thoracic spine, using my own muscles and my own nervous system, under the control of telecommunications towers.


Systematic, deliberate violence was used by Xi Jin Ping to cave in my thoracic spine, and to break the support of my shoulder blades+ shoulder girdle.


In Ashburton on he harassed and attacked my spine. In Twizel he did the same. I called him a “terrorist” and used the word “torture”.


In the Copthorne hotel, he yanked on my spine again and again, until my shoulder blades lost control of my thoracic spine. And it all let go.


Caving in my thoracic, I guess. It is hard to be properly and fully conscious of the damage. You cant even think about it properly. Something about the human mind disallows it.


Ummm. When your thoracic spine is “caved in” and you have a very tight “back abrade”, literally everything in your life is hell, even being badly jostled in a car hurts you. I’ll explain more later.


Ps: when your back/spine is in that state, there is a lot of mind body stuff that makes life very difficult, and kind of horrible.


I’ll do a bit more discussion later



// here is a recent blog post, from the micro blog post. It is useful for further analysis 



Food:

Butterflied scotch fillet, medium rare

White shortgrain rice

beurre blanc, aka emulsion of butter in reduced white wine vinegar (maybe broth?)

Vaguely trying to remember where is saw this?

Idea for an invention.

Privacy steel box:

Just ideas:

12cm by 12cm by 1.8m, corner bracket. 2 mm thick

8 units 

12cm by 12cm by 2.2m corner bracket. 2 mm thick

4 units

Pre drilled holes


Steel box

2m by 2m by 2.4m

sheet metal. 3-4 mm thick

With door


6 panels

Similar in size to faraday micro office, kitset. But all steel construction. Corner brackets are structural support, as well as providing connection.

All bolt construction. No weld.


Door comes prefixed to front panel.

Corner brackets custom made. Panels yeah.

Door hole cut into front. Door attached to hinges.

Just inspiration??

My back hurts too much to do much more at the moment. And very badly sleep deprived. Will talk later.


Steel panels are 2m by 2.4 (four)

==> one of these has the door hole pre cut, ready for door to be hung

And 2m by 2m (two)


6 panels, 12 corner brackets

Door ready to be attached, by bolts.

There are holes in the door, for ventilation.

19 pieces. Plus bolts?

Just inspiration?


Ummm. You could use square tubes for some of it. Instead of corner brackets. Put long bolts through it. But idk. Use your imagination.


It’s not even at the mock up stage, let alone the prototype stage. But it may be perfectly good inspiration for someone who understands food engineering and/or design. It’s basically a product that can be a kitset.


You get the panels, corner brackets, door, and bolts/nuts delivered. And grounding equipment. Assemble the whole thing in the garage. Plug it into ground. And you’re done. It’s not cheap (because it is heavy, and made of metal). But I think it works.


Just an idea.


Graph paper plans

Ply wood mockup?

Learn CAD, solid works

Create version of plans in cad

Get parts made and delivered. Cut to size. Metal bent. 

Assemble it with help of friends

Work out issues.

Plug it into ground. Test the physics.

Maybe

Added later, 17 june


Just for the sake of information: when young, like 10ish, I wanted to be able to do…

Back flips, layouts, cartwheels, dive rolls, flying kicks, tightrope walking, hand balance, handstands, walk on hands, hand stand push ups, movie style martial arts stuff. Juggling: balls, pins. Stilt walking. 

Some circus stuff, juggling

Ummm. Fencing (my grandma fenced for a while when young, which is why I wanted to do it. The grandma I liked most)

Umm. A martial art of some kind. By idk what? Probably would have been karate, but judo sounded good. Why Judo? Because of Willard Price adventure novel “Whale Adventure”. I also liked the Karate Kid. When 10 yrs old, I thought that boxing sounded awful. And Muay Thai wasn’t on my radar.

FWIW, the “systems” representation of me is almost pure unreality. Like… 80% unreality??

Umm. Judo was absolutely my cup of tea. But karate was actually probably more my cup of tea when young..??


Umm. I’m not really “fighting guy”? But I already covered that in other posts.

Idea only. 


Sport of “fun cycling”, go on a cycle meander for 45+ minutes. Do this two to three times weekly…have fun. Cycle up and down unfamiliar streets. Breathe in the air. Explore cul-de-sacs, explore queen Elizabeth park for 10 minutes. Just the gentle slopes. Go alone, go with a friend. Just cruise around town until bored. It is good for metabolic health, health of heart and lungs, and overall leg strength, especially quadriceps.


It fits in with the idea of “basic fit”.


It is just the barest minimum of whatever “counts as sport”


“Cross post to basic fit blog post”



I like these sorts of lectures.

I listened all of 251, all of 210, all of 234 (minus one), iirc hist 119


Early modern England, early modern ages, epidemics


Also listened to: Martin Lewis, global geopolitics 2008, all ten lectures (approx 2 hrs per lecture), Stanford, continuing education

Also listened to:

HIST E-1825 China: Traditions and Transformations

Peter K. Bol, PhD, Charles H. Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University. 
William C. Kirby, PhD, T. M. Chang Professor of China Studies, Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor.

I have listened to so many lectures, I forget which ones I listened to sometimes.

This is a garbage idea of pure silliness. Please ignore it. I am too tired to think. At best, it is inspiration 

.



Binding citizens initiated referendums to nationalise telco in its entirety into hands of MBIE.


******


Someone sues. It is a test case.


You’ve been watching me, therefore I cannot organise politically.


It is a test case.


Lawyer, civil case.

You sue. For millions.


You use the current NZ bill of rights.


Civil proceedings against MBIE, unreasonable search and seizure under bill of rights.


You can subpoena people from the Government into court. Including MBIE engineers, military, or anything tbh.


Once it happens, the people can sue again and again and again.


Activists sue the Government en masse


Maybe a class action later.

*****


Maybe:

Introduce new human right: no govt interference in nervous system etc, by radio wave, without consent


The oligarchs/fae say: we need the govt telco to keep impression|videos|tapes of all nervous system interactions to prove “appropriateness” and consent. Warrant “request able” by police. Because with “appropriateness” and consent, we can demonstrate that the games are actually okay. Idk. Just inspiration. Perhaps it is a way to grandfather things into the system.


******


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)


Socialise/nationalise ownership of telco assets by binding mail referendum into hands of a state Government. It then automatically comes under the bill of rights.

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.

better wording: citizens initiated referendums are binding


I haven’t had time to type up these ideas. Am pretty tired at the moment.

Platforms with moderation board.

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.



***********


Next few ideas:


citizens media buying group

==> give me media, to keep me sane

You (and 500 others) buy media as a group, so that you can get the same quality media as the wealthy… your entity has a ceo, and a curator/creator. It has an editor, and buys stories. The buying group creates the charter. Votes on it.


Then a board is elected. The board hires the CEO and editor.


They start the magazine.

You get a weekly magazine or paper.

You get a website

You get a weekly radio show

You get a weekly collection of curated essays


Eg: NZ tech media buying group

Weekly news, articles, columns, (internet) radio show (aka, podcast), essays


// ignore this next one, it’s not fully written

// this is non compulsory, individual voluntary 

Misc other ideas:


“Basic fit”

Blogged on on-ramp routine.



From a blog, but get referred by a friend @ casual sports night at field 


Toolkit/elements:

1. Jump rope

2. Kata + Stances + Isometrics**

3. Body weight, 6 moves:

squat, lunge, pushups, plank, calf raises, body rows

4. Stretches, very basic


Routine/combination:

Basic routines 2-3

Discussion on sets/reps


How:

  1. Play a sport, any sport, casual/formal idk. Or join casual sport group.* become a sports guy (or sports girl)
  2. Learn each item in the toolkit thoroughly: competence => mastery
  3. Combine the elements, and practise a basic routine mon/wed/fri
  4. Switch to a new sport for a bit
  5. Maybe do a martial sport/art for 6-12 months
  6. Switch back to a normal sport, maybe join a hockey team, c grade local. Keep up the routine.
  7. Go for a walk in the woods once in a while. 

Essay idea: why you need to become a “sports guy”, not a fitness guy.


The toolkit + routine exist to support your ability to enjoy your sport long term. They are a means to an end. Ie, the fitness routine exists to support your sport. Idk.




*local message board, I want pick up local flag football every Monday/Tuesday


**ideas for isometrics: downward facing dog, locust pose, boat pose, chair, warrior 1,2

60 pushups (push ups from knees acceptable)

60 squats

30 lunges (15 each side)

30 body weight rows

20 calf raises

60 seconds plank (*2), on forearms



Stretch, breathe:


Child’s pose

Sphinx


Can you touch your toes?

Hopefully touch the ground with a straight back (natural spine)?


A backbend, like cobra? Idk?


Side lunge?


Ham strings, quads, calves, shins, groin, hip abductors, lay on back and stretch glutes a bit.


Anything else involving stretching, breathing. Idk. Find a coach. I’m not the boss of you.


Stand there like a tree. Tadasana. Tada!


Final cool down : bounce/dance around on the balls of your feet, to loosen up a bit, shake your arms around


Note: if any element needs attention, practise. Add an extra 10-20 minutes to it. Or whatever. Idk. There is often room for personal judgement.. unless you lack common sense. It’s a practise, not a set-in-stone list of rules 🙃🫠


Ummm. You can always have 2-3 sample routines, that combine the elements..??


But it’s playing the sport that is the important thing. If you’re not a “sports guy”, then the routine/elements might not be for you. The “basic fit routine, elements, on ramp” exists to support your ability to play a sport/attend a class/learn a skill and or art


// maybe there are people who run a “basic fit” practise group for the first 4-5 months of the year. Jan - may. And a guy from your sports club or kickboxing class invites you. Idk, nbd 🤷


// not advice, more just the product of a “brainstorming session” at 4am



Appendix B:


I’d just end up doing:


Routine:

Mon, wed, fri


Jump rope,

Body weight fitness

Stretches


A few extra static poses, stances, isometrics, or a kata thrown in there sometimes.



Sport:


I’d change whatever sport/activity I did every couple of years. Hockey seems good. Outdoors stuff a while, soft ball a bit, “fun cycling” for a year. Idk, non stop cricket casual group. Flag football (forget touch rugby, field is too large). Table tennis. Obstacle fit. Have a boxing bag/gloves/wraps in the garage. Movnat, mountain biking, climbing wall. Handball. Fencing. Badminton. “Lawn games 6 month module”, don’t ask. (Sport/activity is a category, lawn games can be one for 6 months, so could fun cycling). Think… sometimes something becomes an obsession for a bit? Or maybe you have something steady. Probably (if healthy) casual turf hockey if available. Like, regular Thursday/Saturday night pick up games, or something (pick up game night is for people who played a couple of seasons hockey at some point). Or social league hockey or whatever. Or maybe fencing for 18 months, until good enough. Then back to hockey or whatever. You just always have to have one.


Umm. Probably just fencing for 12-18 months and then hockey long term. Smattering of other things.



[People pick a sport, then add in basic fit. But sometimes you switch sports.]

Appendix C:

Master all 3 levels:

Level one, traditional asian arts

5 kung fu (horse, bow, cat, heron, half-horse)


Level two, traditional asian arts

Competence in

Kata, heian shodan

Peaceful mind, level one.

Maybe more. Kata are actually really great to learn and practice.


Level three, traditional Asian arts

Comfortable with, and competent in

Chair, warrior 1, warrior 2

tadasana (progressing to downward facing dog)


Conclusion:

[[Why do you do it all?!?!?!

It is a physical culture reset for people in a society full of dumb advice.

So that you can play the sport of your choice. And be a “sports guy/girl”]]

// I cannot use this as actual description, because too poorly worded. But it can help some people (smarter/ more kinaesthetically aware) to understand. It is here for the sake of understanding, not as argument or legal statement.


//I am trying to paint a picture here in the broadest brush strokes possible.


Define/describe Copthorne:


Ummmmmmmm, Xi was breaking a man’s body there. That’s the destruction of your body’s capacity to function. It causes tremendous suffering, as well as fear.


He “deliberately inflicted pain and severe suffering on a person for reasons including punishment, extracting a confession, interrogation for information, or intimidating third parties.”


He used the weapons of the system to do it.



Narrative:


He basically caved my thoracic spine in… he broke the hold I had on it, the integrity. That was torture.


He broke the integrity that my shoulder blades had over my spine. He caved in the thoracic spine…


Can’t you just move your thoracic spine normally? No. Premature birth etc.


I use my shoulder blades to hold onto my thoracic spine. And my thoracic spine to hold onto the internal musculature that connects to my legs. To keep myself upright lol.


If I don’t hold onto it (spine/ribcage) properly, and I step too far, or I’m on uneven ground, then my feet pull my rib cage through my shoulder girdle. Catastrophe.

I have to hold onto my rib cage all the time, so that my rib cage doesn’t slip and pull my body through it!!? I.e. so that I don’t pull my spine through my shoulders.


Narrative for Copthorne itself:


That incident modifies your imagination so much that you cannot imagine normal things anymore. For example, you imagine a hug, normally you can feel it. After Copthorne, there is no kinaesthetic feeling associated with imagining a hug. E.g. cannot imagine a hug properly. Or cannot imagine walking down the street, feeling footfall on the pavement.. (modify body so much that it effects nervous system etc, at level of memory)


He took a half healed body, and broke it.



I have removed the dumb idea

I had to hide this lol:


On noise by Schopenhauer is a fun read.

It isn’t as good as “In Praise of Idleness” by Bertrand Russell, but it is still good.

Here is a link: “On noise” by Arthur Schopenhauer”


If you are a genius, you just can't think straight if you have to deal with constant interruptions. Which has been a serious problem for me personally.

If you have to deal with constant mental interruptions, it is a problem. It borks the clockwork of the mind so much you can’t even feel like a person anymore?

And if you get interrupted by questions after every two sentences, you never even have time to think.

It isn’t a perfect example tbh..

Double glazed steel dead zone, a social experiment


Double glaze a warehouse in 1 inch thick sheet steel. 2 ft air gap. Ground everything.


Use a radio wave generator to create static inside.


People (students, artists, thinkers, musicians) create a tent city inside for a month. Or cabins, whatever.


Maybe you wheel in medium sized “tiny houses”, so that people have comfort and privacy.


Proper plumbed bathrooms. Not too difficult.


Kitchen facilities with extraction fans. Separate wheeled in units.


Vibe: parachute music festival


Junk food being sold, entertainment, fun, music. Concert stage during the day.


Free exchange of ideas, free coffee.

No drugs, no alcohol, no violence.


Do people create philosophy, ideology, or strategy? What is the difference?


Do people then create art, music, or poetry?


Do people create culture? Or do they plot and scheme? Do they make political plans? What is the difference?


If one person builds a warehouse in one city, can the social experiment be replicated elsewhere?


*Connect the steel with wires across the air gaps, to “virtualise” the faraday cage.


**use an air craft hanger instead of a warehouse


***I don’t know how widely to space the steel sheets 1 ft, 1 metre?

Idk, maybe???


“Evil foundation”, “philosopher kings gone wrong”


Is it immoral to destroy it? If it causes instability?


Is it unethical to join it? If it hurts people?

Because I get accused of not knowing philosophy:

The story of philosophy, by will durant:

Philosophers profiled are, in order: Plato (with a section on Socrates), Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza (with a section on Descartes), Voltaire (with a section on Rousseau), Immanuel Kant (with a section on Hegel), Arthur Schopenhauer, Herbert Spencer, and Friedrich Nietzsche.

I have also read a fair bit of Voltaire. A collected works of Voltaire. And listened to the great courses introduction to philosophy from Amazon.

I pick up a lot from other sources and books. A lot.

I hate doing this: but I’m physically unsafe until I do it

Logic: They are threatening me with violence, and using violence and pain, on my body to stop me posting this. Therefore I’m not safe until I do it.

Still working on this:

Ummm. Actual idea, create a large enclosed space within a large warehouse or hanger that you can park 20-30 trailers or office trailer in. It is surrounded by steel double glazing top, bottom and sides. Drive the trailers in one end. Park them there, and then you have a trailers to rent. Rent them for $300 nzd per week rent for the privilege of working there.

Use portable home office sleep out cabins on wheels. Or this.

It is like faraday insulation for your warehouse…

And then you rent out cabins inside.

Plumbing toilets and a sink

Customer product experience:

Hi Jim, I want two cabins. One to work in, one to sleep in. Here is $600.

Okay. Here are the keys. For the cabins and for the toilets. For food, cold stuff only.

Walk through the exterior door of the warehouse, and then into a reception. From the reception down a corridor. And then into the main area (through a door).

The main area is 780 sqm. Inch thick steel walls inside. High stud ceilings. Proper ventilation system. Plumbing: 4 toilets and 2 sinks.

Here is your living cabin, here is your sleeping cabin. Here is the bathroom, here are the bins (outside). Good luck.

There are 5 more of these warehouses in this town.


No more eye of Sauron.

[reader: You have to fill in the details.]

Physically:


It has to be proper construction.. Concrete, steel etc. maybe wood and steel. But it isn’t abnormal construction.

Double glazed steel box that provides electromagnetic radio frequency shielding. Sandwich construction.

If you have one layer of steel, and another layer of steel 60 cm away from it, you can ground stuff and you can block the electromagnetic rays. And if you build a box with walls (and ceiling and floors) that are  double walled. Then it can work. Idk how big the air gap needs to be? Or how spaced it needs to me.


Maybe you just build 5 of them out of standard wood framing construction and clad the outside in sheet steel, and inside lined with sheet steel (wood framing like New Zealand and some American housing). Like really big garages inside a hanger. And they each have 4 units inside them.

Build it inside a spare warehouse or aircraft hanger.

Park home office trailers in it. They pay rent?

People can just work (or live) in it.


Maybe the ceiling of it can be corrugated iron. But you double layer it, after rotating 90 degrees. Or triple-quadruple layer it, rotating 90 degrees. Remember to ground it.

I’ll try to explain it better later.

It’s possible to figure out if you can engineer.

Some of them let you bring your own trailer, cabin or sleep out to park it.

It might be possible to do it with just a 15 cm air gap.


What if the “weak” become landlords for people who want to change things?


***

Double glazed steel dead zone where you can rent a cabin.

[Or a trailer park for office sleepouts in a warehouse lol]

****

For physics/engineering: just as inspiration.

Or just layer corrogated iron on top of one another.

One piece on a “fence”, spin the next 90 degrees. Spin the the next 90 degrees, then the next 90 degrees, then the next 90 degree: etc. 4-8 layers depending. Lightweight. Ground it. Use wooden framing. It is clever and elegant. Spinning 90 degrees virtually air gaps it it a phenomenal elegant manner. Use wood spacers also. Bolt it together with “long bolts 30cm long. Ground everything. It is multidirectional faraday magic lol.

*

Another idea = “cardboard” made out of corrugated iron sandwiched in between two layers of 2 mm sheet steel.

Just like you have corrugated cardboard sandwiched in between two layers of card. Like standard cardboard… it is a new building product.


Another name:

Faraday shielded park up

Or you can just build it from the ground up. If you have a proper construction company. Concrete base, steel girders, inch thick steel cladding on the outside, inch thick steel lining on the inside. Use the girders as basic direct support for the panels. Use paint to prevent rust. It is basic construction. Use basic garage doors x4.

****

😝 

Other idea: put panels of steel cardboard (sheathed in treated canvas, impregnated with anti rot substance, copper naphthenate) in the walls. Maybe add an electrical insulator substance to the fabric?

Possibly run wires underneath the home from the panels (only some) to ground them, and have the option to throw some current through them. Daisy chain the panels first. Current in one end, and out the other.  It goes between the gib, steel cardboard, building paper, weatherboards. DIY. Steel cardboard alone might do it tbh. Can also put them in the ceiling and floor.

Interference from a wireless device, indoors, might be a good substitute for running current through the panels.

Ps: the real beauty of it is when you use it to insulate a warehouse. And do it 7 layers thick on every wall, and on the ceiling. Get a basic scaffolding going. And under a raised floor also. That is the “killer app” imo.

PPS: treat this and inspiration, not a final product.

Women/relationships

FWIW, I hate talking about relationships and/or women online.

***

“Hot or not”: just judging looks, not viability or whatever

The woman at the Abandoned bar, the women at the Speights bar locally, the waitress at empire, the server at Black Dog (Te Anau), and woman at the Brook Bar, and the woman at Hutt Bedrock. The Russian at Franz Joseph. Gianyu in Copthorne, Amanda (woman on whaling boat), Coco, 
 Angela from instagram. The woman at lake Tekapo (on the park bench), and woman in the queue at the Thai place, and the two Korean women at rock pool, kaia.

All of them, definitely really hot??

And, Ppl from old set

Siobhan, Brynn, Clare, Grace, “Sarah”, Tamara, Anna

All hot too.



***

People keep on acting like I don’t want/value anything? As though I don’t want women?


Hypothetical:


Set aside politics, ethics, etc. Set aside celebrity, race, also


The ideal would be to have about thirty 22 yo women, available to me at all times, living about 60 metres down the road. They range from about 6/10 - 10/10 in looks. I have my own place. All of them have a shared place to live.


Only hypothetical.


Ummm. Yeah??

The problems are in the practical?

And in what is available!?!?

And in the details, fine print etc.

I’m not willing to fight under the current system, for reasons that I’ve explained again and again.

Disambiguate: look book, lack of taste



Start of a hot or not list for celebrities, like a “look-book” for taste.


A young: Kristen Bell, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Silverstone 

Keira Knightly, Natalie Portman, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Penelope Cruz, Adreine Mishler (yoga with Adrienne)


When they were young etc..? 


***


Some people have suggested that I have no taste when it comes to women. So thought that I’d create a “look book” of celebrities. So that people can understand what I think looks good. This is just a sample, not an exhaustive list.



// just an example list, like a scrap book, you know?

// just information about taste

// A “lookbook”

// fwiw, I’m actually really happy with what I see when walking around town??! Going to shops etc!?

// there is other stuff hidden elsewhere on this topic (end of garbage heap)

// I hate talking about this topic, so much

Hot or not


Disambiguate B + C + S.


B: Back when we met, she was tall and slim, she’s got immaculate hair. It’s long blond and straightened. Face a bit above average. Sits beside me in Japanese class. Plays sports, but has a very slim build, rather than “athletic” build. Fairly flat chested. She’s one of the most attractive girls in my year.


I liked her, and she was pleasant. But we didn’t click.


Later in life, she chopped her hair short (her best feature). But she is still tall and slim. Umm. A little flat chested, and perhaps too slim. In person, still attractive. Face is average.


But she is evil.


Umm. But I don’t care. I really don’t care. It’s not important?


***


C: Back when I met her in high school: attractive. Not too tall. Brunette, dyed blonde. Nice blue eyes, good smile. Nice face. Good figure (or great body? Idk which adjectives to use). Danced and taught dance, good student at high school. Excellent personality and good sense of humour. I liked her friends. We were all in accounting class together. I think hotter than B?


S: she was hot back in high school. Beautiful brown eyes. Cute smile, great body. Far too intelligent. I loved her hair, especially her fringe too. Still amazing well into her twenties, and still incredibly hot now.


It was a long time ago. I didn’t really know her though. She was just some random to me?? We only spoke a few times.


“Sarah”, hot of course.

Also, the Dasha evening is/was a cherished memory, all other things being equal. She was great. Kinda ruined by all of the bullshit?

History and/or capitalism

Do you know anything about guy de bord and the situationists? The society of the spectacle?

Debord and the culture wars
Debord and voting, and the media

What exists behind the mesmerising “Debordian spectacle”?

What about…Corporate structure, the appointment of boards of directors, including involvement by fund managers. Who actually wields the votes to elect directors? What is proxy voting? Who has power in society?

Capital on balance sheets. Debt. Equity. Currency. Financial instruments. Statistics.

What is the share market? Is it not just a seconds market for equity?

What is accounting? What is statistics? What is economics?

Is economic analysis often just the analysis of historical data drawn from accounting statements, and turned into statistics. And these statistics modified and expressed in the form of graphs and formulae, according to models and theories. Idk.


PS: never got around to actually reading De bord, just history around it.

Extra stories




Disambiguation: My family, just some positive stuff.




My family was crazy (and secretly horrible), but I’ve already told you plenty about that.


But mostly they were pretty cool when I was young.


I’ll tell you about the positives:


Dad:


My father loved table tennis, music, piano and sports.


My father was a massive fan of music and an excellent pianist. He also wrote music and sang. He was a decent singer. He used to both play and sing the songs he wrote to both me and Matthew. He was a fantastic song writer. And even taught me a bunch of his music when I was a kid. I loved learning music from my father, and just sitting listening to him. I always wanted to record his music for him, so that it wouldn’t get lost if he forgot it (or died). I really loved his music. He had incredibly intricate and clever chord structures (sort of). Which I loved.


Umm. My father loved table tennis, and insisted that I play it. The moment I was tall enough to see over the table properly he put a bat in my hand and taught me to play. He was a table tennis fanatic. He taught me serves, returns, spin. And he also taught me all sorts of drills, like bouncing a ball on the table tennis ball for ages to develop hand-eye coordination, or adding spin or bat flips. Or taping a table tennis ball to the end of a string, hanging it from a beam and hitting it again and again.


My parents signed me up for soccer, and went to games and practises. He taught me stuff at home and had me practise kicking goals and doing passing drills. He really loved sports. He even had a book about how to learn soccer sitting on the shelf.


We went on road trips, listened to a lot of music together. Listening to music together was a huge part of our relationship. Also watching comedy, like Monty Python.


We went to Japan together. Disneyland and Disney sea. We stayed with Tomoe’s family and explored Tokyo, Kyoto etc it was amazing (I was a little sick on the way back though).


He was a chess enthusiast and taught me chess. He used to be Taupo chess champion and had books about chess sitting about on the shelf. And taught me openings and end game stuff. Along with principles and techniques. He would play by giving me a situation where subtracted a few of his pieces at the start of the game?? I didn’t love chess. But I enjoyed learning it with him.


He had shops, and so did mum, so I spent tons of time with them at the shops. Sitting out the back. Matthew and I would sit out the back of the shops watching the simpsons and reading misc library books all day. Or sometime I would just follow Dad around all day. We spent a lot of time together at his shops on Tamamutu Street. I felt lucky to spend so much time with my father. He was my main/preferred conversational partner. I spoke with him often. How do you explain this? When someone is the main guy you talk to from 4 years old through to your teens (or at least your preferred person to spend time with) it influences you. And changes the structure of your thinking permanently. We were pretty close, or at least I thought we were.


We “debated” and argued constantly. He described it as intelligent, stimulating conversation. It was argument, where you try to be right. It was fun. We argued often. I enjoyed it. It was a huge part of how we interacted? Debate, argument. And also a lot of humour and jokes. I used to spend a lot of time with my father, brother etc (I know some people don’t see much of their father, or whatever). We spent hours in the van together travelling from town to town transferring stock, or around town delivering or whatever. Just tons of time, always. And always talking.


He was my favourite guy in all the world. I loved spending time with him, and I was a genuinely good son, who cared about his father. I trusted him.


Ps: I had to put this segment in because my Dad acts like I was a horrible rebellious son when I was younger. It is a disambiguation post.


They (my family really are awful people)

I shoved this into here from extra stories….


Moved here from the last page: I listened to a ton of sermons from the likes of Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, Rick Warren and Bill Hybels, Timothy Keller, Francis Chan and Mark Driscoll (kinda dodgy?). This was when I was stuck at home sick. Between 2012 and 2016. It was just something random I did. I have listened to 50+ sermons from each of Bill Hybels, Mark Driscoll and Rick Warren.

Idk why. I had time, and poor health.

More discussion, not conclusive??

If I say “I just do whatever”, then they will order me to take down the blog, or else.


Then they will order me to throw my phone away, or else….

Then they will order me to stop thinking, or even day dreaming, or else


I will say that I can’t stop thinking!??

Then they will tell me, we will use sex to stop you thinking!!?!  You just need fun. And I’ll say, I can’t have sex because I need a shower.

And they will tell you, but you can.

And then will torment me until I scream that I hate you all, and want nothing from you… and then I can have nothing…

And then they’ll find another excuse to torment me??

***

Kinda just want to chill?? But idk how to make it happen!?!?!

****



[you have to read general disambiguation before reading this snippet, or else you won’t understand it]

Think of this as basic conversation??

The syndicate hate the idea of “basic good faith conversation”. They adopted the attitude of “we never have basic good faith conversation”.

I wanted to have a few good faith conversations early on, about my theories and perhaps a deescalation of conflict? But they wouldn’t even come to the table for talks. 

To be bombastic: the syndicate took the attitude of “we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender” towards basic good faith conversation.

It is because of that that we are in this mess? I didn’t even want to fight the system. And I wanted to chill. But they wouldn’t let me? It is very confusing. They assert that I wanted “reverse social engineering”, or that I “wanted” to fight the system because I day dream about it. But tbh, none of it really makes sense.

// not finished yet, please only read it if you have read: how I got this way parts one and two, torso integrity compromised, and the doctors page.



TLDR; I had a ton of symptoms, with no true known cause. So doctors labeled it “CFS”. I resisted the label, other than to use it to get welfare. But still, there were a ton of symptoms.

They lied to me by calling it cfs when they knew what it was. They knew I was sick due to electronic abuse, 

*

General health

I got really sick when I went to Europe shortly after finishing high school. I had massive symptoms etc. energy/exhaustion/digestion/no sleep/sweats/hot cold flashes. [Please see the other pages for more information about my health…] But I was already getting sick with repeated illnesses from about 18.

Unbeknownst to me it was caused by repeated electronic interference with my nervous system. I did not know what the cause was. I had no knowledge of the electronic towers that damaged me. And had no knowledge of the Fae.

From the age of 18 onwards, my whole life was all about “why am I sick” and what can I do about it?


The other stuff, like dreaming up ideas for changing the system were a side issue.



My doctors called it “Chronic fatigue syndrome”. (It is just a label. It doesn’t mean anything). Amanda called it Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I kept seeing doctors to complain about symptoms. But nothing they did helped. They misled me??! And I tried so hard to get healthy. But nothing helped. I had tons of tests to figure out what was wrong. I had many blood tests, I saw a neurologist, cardiologist, sleep specialist. Plenty of things.

“Chronic fatigue syndrome” is just a label. I don’t think that “it” really exists!? I called it “I am really sick, and my body doesn’t work, and I don’t know why - it is”

A label for a constellation of symptoms.

I went to my doctors over and over again. But they just told me that I had chronic fatigue syndrome. They didn’t let me know what the real cause was?? They didn’t tell me it was “cellphone tower disease, or satellite system disease”. I had multiple doctors tell me I had cfs, as far back as 2007?? It seemed like a dumb diagnosis? My biggest two symptoms were exhausting/fatigue and really low quality sleep.

I also had back problems, for which I went to physiotherapy many times. None of the physio helped. And much of it made me worse.

Ps: I had “chronic fatigue syndrome” (whatever that means), and also I had issues with my back caused by tight inner muscles that meant that from 2012 - 2016 I couldn’t do normal stuff like study at the computer, play video games, rest in bed to read books, or lay down flat on my back in bed. Nor could I lay on my side to read.

PPS: back in 2012 I didn’t know that the fae/oligarchy existed, I didn’t know that cell towers could hurt me, I didn’t know that satellites could hurt me, and I didn’t know about “games” (aka mass bullying and deliberate life destruction combined with deception and sex), and I didn’t know that cfs was a deliberately fake diagnosis. I had led a very sheltered existence.

Note: even back in 5 weka road, I couldn’t lay down flat on my back in bed. And I had no idea why!?

Note 2: I wasn’t sure that cfs was a good diagnosis?? It didn’t make sense. And in the end I lost faith in it as a concept. It had no real etiology? I just called it “your health is awful and we don’t know why-itis”.

Note 3: over time I totally lost faith in doctors.

Note 4: by the time I was about 24/25 the fatigue had reduced, but I still couldn’t do much?

Note 5: everyone at church knew I had “so called CFS”, and was really unwell. (And that Amanda was awful too). And I think most knew it was due to abrades? I used actually to be really sick. I used to be freezing cold at church no matter how much clothing I wore. Sometimes my lips would turn slightly blue. And I couldn’t sit upright properly without back pain. I had so many problems.

I had so many symptoms. And no real known cause? Fatigue, very bad back problems, and extreme digestive issues, poor sleep, exhaustion.

From 2007 to 2012 I was always trying to figure out what was wrong with me!!? I had no good answers. And I didn’t think that the label of cfs was any good.

// sorry that this section is so messy, I don’t know what to do at the moment. And I need to rewrite it.

Ps: Xi already declared me victorious, because of Dasha. And I already have six(ish) lined up. Now I just need about a year to recover. And I am fine.


I still need to do a full description/accounting/story for my health.

Ummmm. I actually thought the label “cfs” was common knowledge among you guys??

About me:

I love coming up with ideas. Love coming up with smart ideas.

*

I also love reading. For me, reading is more to do with reading non fiction and learning new thing. I am fanatical about the acquisition of knowledge. And I’ll read anything. I just Hoover up anything. I am an obsessive reader.

*

I also really loved video games. I loved them so much. I loved them. Lost the ability to play them at age 23/24.

Experiments:


They did experiments with Skinnerian conditioning. For example, they used physical negative conditioning on me when I had conversations and/or tried to listen to audiobooks. For the curious and dedicated, These can be seen in past records. But it might be are to find them. They psychologically conditioned me out of listening to audiobooks 2016-2022. I just couldn’t listen to audiobooks, or other spoken word entertainment properly? My back would hurt??

They were so frustrated that I was in the habit of listening to audiobooks 2012 - 2022, that they didn’t want me to listen anymore. So they made my back hurt when I tried to listen to anything.

I also met Helen Clark once, briefly. We were releasing two kiwis into burrows in the Karori bird sanctuary.

Meeting Lou

This has nothing to do with anything much, but I met Lou Gardiner twice. I met him at Amanda’s late Nana’s lunches (she used to have a big get together a couple of times per year). I think it was on her Birthday lunch, but it might have been her “summer bash”. Lou Gardiner was our Chief of Army.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_of_Army_(New_Zealand)

It was cool, but I’m not a military kind of guy??

I didn’t know why he was there, but I think his wife was/is vaguely friends with Amanda’s Nana. It was a while ago. Shane Huston (Amanda’s Mother’s Partner) was a communications officer with the NZ Army (nzdf). He seemed really happy to be able to meet Lou there. He told me that Lou was a really big deal, NZ chief of army, possibly our top general.

Major General Louis Joseph Gardiner, formerly Commander Joint Forces New Zealand, but Chief of Army once I met him.

Sorry if the first time I posted this it seemed weird, but I just thought I mentioned it.



We met at a lunch/BBQ, talked a bit. He told me that his son was studying a phd engineering (materials science) down south. Which sounded pretty cool to me. I then went home to look it up online. I don’t think I knew much about materials science at that point.



Uh, I think the first time I met him, I kinda left him alone?

Day dreaming:

I am a massive day dreamer, I love day dreaming. I dream up ideas and scenarios all day. People always used to tell me that I had my head in the clouds too much. For example, walking to and from school while day dreaming used to be my favourite part of day when I was a teenager.

What do I day dream about? I used to think about inventions and businesses when I was young. I was all about inventions, businesses and products. That is what I day dreamed about most. Other than video games.  Of course I thought about a lot of other scenarios, like which character I might like to be in a movie, or whatever I’d do in a particular book. Or a potential relationship. 

I would think about money.. and how to make it. I sometimes think about martial arts, and the strategy of boxing or something. Or I think of school work, graphs, numbers etc. I think about how to modify sums and/or numbers in my head. Or I run through definitions in my head etc.

Day dreaming is a must! I can’t do without it. I kinda need it just to be human at all. 

Having people inside my head all day is horrible for me. It is so painful. I don’t have any real time alone inside my head??

Solitude is nice. I used to enjoy it. But now I can’t either??

Solitude, peace, quiet, and time to think… I love those things so much..??

I love having time alone inside my own head.


I like The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It used to be my favourite book. I used to walk just to have time to think. Or just for air.

*

Ps: Sometimes the blanking in my head is so bad that I just can’t think at all. They hurt my brain so, so much. It is awful. They have done so much of it. So much pain to my brain. It hurts, and I cannot think.

The year 1666 is widely recognized as Newton's annus mirabilis. During this period, while taking refuge from the plague at his family home, he developed the foundations of calculus, explored the nature of light and color, and formulated his initial ideas about gravity, including the concept of universal gravitation. 

Sir Isaac Newton loved having time to daydream…

So did Einstein.

Einstein's famous thought experiments (Gedankenexperimente), like riding a beam of light or falling in an elevator, allowed him to explore the implications of physical laws in imagined scenarios, leading to key breakthroughs in special relativity and general relativity. These mental explorations helped him understand how space, time, and gravity work, especially by highlighting the relativity of simultaneity and the equivalence of acceleration and gravity. 

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein

Try this for a different angle:

This is just discussion??

I came down with a mystery illness at age 18.

I became unable to lay down normally at age 24, for reasons I couldn’t explain.

And then at age 28, something happened to my back that meant I couldn’t even walk down the street. And I didn’t quite know what it happened.

I’m hindsight, it happened to be because electro magnetic spectrum nervous system devices interfered with my nervous system to make certain stuff happen. But at the time, it was a total mystery to me!!?

I tried everything early on!?!?!? But I couldn’t find any solutions!!? I tried doctors and physiotherapists. I tried natural health stuff. I tried stuff I found in books. But nothing worked. And no one explained to me, even once, that the root cause of my health problems was the electromagnetic spectrum towers!!?

I was really sick, with something that was inexplicable!!?

It was only in 2023/2024 they I understood what it was!!? It was em spectrum technology!!?

***

The doctors implied that there was no biological basis for my illness, and implied that it was psychosomatic. They sometimes gave me labels like “chronic fatigue syndrome”. My family also implied that I was a psychosomatic case.  At some points I was worried about the possibility that I might be institutionalised.

Christian Sacrifice vs Chinese Communist Sacrifice


If a Christian sacrificed his left arm, as an offering to Yahweh, to bring about the second coming of his son, the messiah, Christ Jesus, and facilitate the creation of the Kingdom of heaven on earth (ie chopped it off).

Would you laugh at him?

**

What if he did it in the name of bringing about the prophesied future state of world communism? According to his religion of sex magic?

What it was a testicle and a prostate instead of an arm?

Would you laugh at him?

*

What if it was a Sinophile sex-pest socialist warlock who hates his eldest son?

Hygiene:


I used to have a woman Geraldine come to visit me to wash my back, because I couldn’t reach my back properly. And I couldn’t wash my feet either. She also had to help me with my arm pits.

Note: I did improve my health early 2022, because I discovered ways to improve my health/strength.

****

I will write it up better later…

There was one point before I had Geraldine, where I had scabs build up all over my back. Dead skin etc. and Amanda had to help me to clean them off. It was awful. It took ages, and multiple attempts. It was appalling.

I had horrible built up grime and disgusting build up on my head too.

You can actually look up these instances in my past.

Visualisation is impaired.
Imaginary sense of touch is damaged too now.

I can’t really see properly for years. Massive issues with eyes that intersect with my neck, and struggles with glasses. Talk more later


I can’t do much without my glasses

***

Stomach. Stomach muscles deactivated at the moment, taken too much damage lately. Can get them back in order within about a week of normal chill stuff.
