Benefits of Meditation
It is vital to be able to slip into a state of calm on a moments notice.
I’ve been practicing this since 2007 so it’s pretty well a ‘part of me’ (internalized).
Please comment, if you have stories to tell or insights to share on this topic. (Example insight: breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth can enhance…)
“Freedom of Speech is a Privilege Intended for Educated Professionals”
“Freedom of Speech is a Privilege Intended for Educated Professionals”
“It should be illegal… if he cannot verify his statements…”
This is what happens when ‘Authority’ has been perverted to cancel an inherent right of humanity!
Are these ramifications being considered in Google Search?
Google is making what I feel are really big mistakes right now basing its technology upon the work of people who promulgate fear-control based paradigms and archetypes. Google is creating a beast that will devour even itself! See this, for an example: https://plus.google.com/104704674433954659866/posts/Mw9BR6WZNSQ
Behind the desire to stop gaming of Search from the outside, they do not provide us with a guarantee that Search will not be gamed from the inside!
What if you are deemed unpopular or dangerous to the ruling power monopoly?
Will they still let you have a voice or will they call you ‘non-authoritive’ or claim you’re not part of the search results because of a programming error!
It’s also about trust:
I’ve programmed SaaS applications (basically, cloud applications) and learned the basics of that technology from a well-known university which I won’t name here.
I was often in dispute with the professor and his proverbial ‘disciples’ (until they began to ignore me 😉 ) about the failing code of ethics and guarantee of privacy in the SaaS paradigm. Now, more than a year later, they ‘magically’ have made small progress in that vein.
I still wouldn’t trust them with my data and you shouldn’t either!
The terms and framing they have chosen will not save them from the coming ‘disruptive’ (using their term – I would use the term ‘reharmonizing’ instead) technologies that are coming down the pike which are going to change things drastically for everyone in a constructive(!) way! Google’s framing now, in comparison with these technologies as they arrive, will become a ‘straightjacket’ for itself.
There are those who are aware of this coming time (it’s all approaching a critical threshold very soon) and are preparing for it now, by creating free and open source technology with regard to Search and based upon a completely different paradigm of trust, openness and distributed control by putting that control in the hands of the user themselves.

This technology will be coming of age in the next 2 years – provided our controllers don’t take what’s left of the playing field away – which they have done before.

Is that statement true? How does it sound to you?
Below is about how it sounds to me.
I can’t help but notice how most of the terminology (authority, sematic web, …) and thinking (ontologically based) seems to have been incorporated into Google Search!
I wrote this review 8 months ago as of this date.
I’m including it here again so that it appears on my time line correctly.
For those who have read my review before, please scan this one for possible changes or enhancements, because I will also be writing a review of David’s book in the near future.
This video confuses knowledge with information (among many other problems). I was as brief as I could be. Congrats to those who take the time to read this.
@04:10– We can have more than one field in one spot at the same time. We can also superimpose objects, ideas and knowledge…
@04:35– Some things must NOT go someplace physically although they are physical: hunger, thirst, …
@13:39-“Every attribute is a joint…”: only if you cannot associate these attributes with a surrounding context to place them in. Otherwise we have only data… miscellany.
@25:39-“There is no single way of organizing the world”: yet the ‘world’ does it quite nicely. We only run into trouble when we cannot or will not see the underlying structure in the organization. This structure cannot be separated from its form and function and still make sense.
@44:13-“through the public negotiation of conversation… That’s where knowledge is.” Knowledge however does not confine itself to being negotiated or even being correct and/or useful! Knowledge also encompasses much more than validity claims can confine. It is necessary to remember that knowledge and meaning are partners in the relationship they have with each other which may or may not involve truth value.
@44:23– A mailing list is used as a form of knowledge
@44:31-“I find out what the news is…” (information)
@44:33-“I see people who know way more than I do…” (authority)
@44:37-“…arguing amongst themselves…” (negotiation)(?)
@44:39-“…These are experts in conversation…” (authority)
@44:45-“…and this is a really, really good thing…” (judgment)
@44:47-“…really good thing – this public negotiation of knowledge through conversation…” (judgment)
The idea that knowledge is negotiable disturbs me. Do you not mean that the meaning of knowledge is negotiable? Your talk seems more to be describing information than it describes knowledge.
@44:33-“We know that Wikipedia is on our side.” Informed researchers are aware that Wikipedia contains, among its many strengths, many deficits. Not the least of those deficits is the bias found in much of its biographical information.
@49:47-“Oh God! I hate myself.” That utterance, while most certainly meant as humor on your part, is inappropriate for anyone to say – even in jest. I thought you should know.
Does a Nobel Prize Automatically Make You Correct?
My attention has been recently brought again to the book: Thinking, Fast and Slow.
There is so much ‘work’ out there to comment on that it would take many lifetimes to cover it all, but this one hits me right in the gut: it’s about heuristics.
Of course there are many insightful aspects to the book and I hope this post induces people to buy and read the book! It is definitely worth that effort!
There is much truth in the book and useful considerations regarding the psychology of thought (at least for me).
There is a universal constant in our universe that I call the ‘Near and Far Contraposition’. This constant is responsible for the effect we experience when we look at things close up verses far away.
It ‘makes it’s appearance’ when we say things like; “He can’t see the forest for the trees.”
I will describe this constant more below as time permits me to do so.
This post will delve into the misconceptions in the book regarding a heuristic and heuristics in general with respect to mind, thought and, most importantly, knowledge and its representation.
Your thoughts are welcome too, but allow me to do this piecemeal. We all are impacted by this artificial environment created for us that causes stress and economy in our lives. It is possible to an extent to ‘divorce’ ourselves from these frenetic states, but when our customers do not ‘cooperate’ (due to different priorities, perspectives and needs) with our efforts, then it does present challenges for us.
When Does The ‘Coming Out’ Of Destruction Want To Seem To Be Normal?
The source article is a deception (Source: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/mar/14/nasa-civilisation-irreversible-collapse-study-scientists)
The globalist parasites that feed on us and have built this culture/environment we are ‘living’ in want us to believe the destruction they are bringing down upon humanity is a normal cycle.
If we believe them, then we deserve our fate!
Yet a natural process is taking place!
Outliers who occupy an upper ‘elite’ section of a distribution have always led the rest of the population it belongs to. What is decisively important is what attributes that small group shares and projects onto the rest.
This natural process can act as a sort of illness/enslavement or a healing/empowerment upon the rest of the population. This ‘constant form’ finds expression in practically every living system and upon multiple levels.
The need for illness and enslavement of the remaining population is a sign where this ‘elite class’ is based upon fear and control which is malevolent in nature. This leads to a severance of membership to the rest of the population and its own destruction and, quite possibly, the remaining population.
The need for healing and empowerment of the remaining population is a sign where this ‘elite class’ is based upon love and trust which is benevolent in nature. This leads to a binding of membership to the rest of the population and its own survival and, quite possibly, the remaining population.
We are being ruled by a malevolent elite class which has gone rogue and, like a cancer, wrapped its metastases in, through and around the rest of us. They do this by eliciting the aid of those who are asleep or unaware among us or by those who are awake/aware, but are unwilling or unable to resist them.
The ‘natural’ cycles mentioned in the article need not be! It is up to us to decide here and now what side of history we want to be on.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is quoted to have said: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
If that statement is true, then we are here for many reasons:
To discover who we are.
To create who we are.
To decide who we are.
To witness others.
…
To be of aid or be of service to others.
Who will you be, witness,… serve?
The Myth of Paving the Way for New By Means of Destruction
The Prometheus fans (both the Movie and the Myth) have bought into the falsehood that “in order to create we sometimes must destroy” meme. (This meme makes its appearance in the new Avengers film!)
This false-paradigm was created by people who will profit from it most – those who want or need the destruction of personal and collective sovereignty, because it stands in their way.
We must learn to recognize their ‘handywork’. Behind that meme lurks an even more malevolent lie: The Ends Justify Their Means.
The ends DO NOT justify their means, rather the ends are defined by their means!
Modernism and Post-Modernism have been busily redefining all ‘organic’ ideas into artificial replacements. John Dewey was particularly active in this regard, but the ‘tradition’ was carried on after him to the present by the neo-liberals and progressives.

Time To Wake Up and/or End the Denial
We all would just love to continue our work and so do as if this scourge of our world and the transfer of wealth (even personal and collective sovereignty) isn’t happening.
If we continue to remain in this willful ‘bliss’, we condemn our children to being victims of the ultimate act of cowardice: denying our own conscience. The ‘sleeper’ must awaken!

Google’s Ray Kurzweil On Artificial Intelligence, Human Immortality

The ongoing perception deception masking malevolence with benevolence.
True intelligence can never be artificial and the mind is much more than the brain can be used to explain it.
He is wrong in many ways. Even if he has really foreseen other inventions, this is one where he is wrong. They will, however, made a good show of it, by convincing us of their success so that we buy into the fraud with investment or participation.
Matter of ‘Internal Security’
@21:23 of “The High Ground” (S03:E12)

“Matter of ‘Internal Security’, the age-old cry of the oppressor.”
Collectivism Is The Solution To The Problem Of Voluntaryism
If we can’t imagine people who are doing so well that they want to be of help to others, then we think in terms of collectivism.
The globalist cleptocratic parasites know that the bulk of humanity is willing to be led – even in an authoritarian context. They create a thin veil of plausibility to convince these sheep and combine that with compartmentalization.
Among their weaknesses is that as soon as the bulk begin to realize they service a hegemony that is feeding on them, the whole structure is endangered.
The fear that led the ‘elite’ to think they are ‘special’ is the very ‘structure’ they themselves are held hostage by.

How to Occupy the Noosphere: Ian MacKenzie at TEDxVictoria 2013
This is an attempt to hijack both the Occupy and the Anonymous movements under the premis of building a better world.
It underscores our interdependence, but forgets to mention the loss of individual and collective sovereignty that the globalist banksters are destroying to move us to this artificially induced state.
We must wake up to the fraud! Premature globalism needs and creates global problems so they can create global solutions!

We are here for so many reasons… to create, to discover, to decide who we are, to decide what side of history we are on, to observe and witness others as well as ourselves, to dream, to remember, to know, to forget…
The Scarcity Myth
Scarcity can be real, but only for a time. Mankind always has and always will develop a means to deal with scarcity… unless it is Artificial.
The scarcity is then used as a means to socially engineer.
Artificial scarcity has been used this way throughout history – even back in the time of the Romans!
Please examine the photo and see if the social engieering has succeeded in our society.
