Freedom isn't Free

[RascalPuff]

The following urls are but fragments of culminating world phenomenological trends; the messages therein may not portend the company that you and others keep, but, it is the company that keeps you and others.

The entire world, from eco-systems to academia, science, art and culture, is going south; the following blogs are narrow beams of light still finding a way through the culminating darkness. One of these blogs is about Dr. Brian Greene's sensational 'String Theory', and how it extends far beyond Dr. Greene or his theory, revealing 'a world that cannot scratch itself without becoming entangled in its own web'. http://milesmathis.com/string.html


Another is about control of information, which is directly related to how 'educational reform' is bearing down upon us like the 'New Math' (which was taught for decades before it summed up its own undoing).

Of course, anyone who may seriously consider these sources of information is at hazard of perishing beneath a hail of crank stigmatized darts. That - mud-slinging, back biting, rat packing, ostracizing dynamic of character assassination - also, is subjected in the proffered materials.

Then, there are those who would understandably ask, 'Why?' What is to be gained by methodologically mass producing misinformation and crazymaking? What is there to be gained, by whom, for such proposed, contrived dynamics?

The answer is simply, that a higher gross national product is to be gained, by the 'corporate state' (big business): Masses of people in a general state of harmony, consume much less - of everything that there is to be consumed - than do masses of people in a general state of chaos, confusion and fear.

Operant conditioning, neurolinguistic programming, psychomolecular restructuring, behavior modification - brainwashing by any other magnetically exotic, Orwellian NewSpeaking name. Reality is being dismissed for lack of evidence. It's not reality, it crazy-making actuality.

Freedom to choose to live billion billions of years or more could never be granted by Nature. In the true sense of the word 'freedom' we are really slaves of planet Earth.

Aren't you forgetting the lower life forms? Viruses as the lowest forms of life are freely infecting humans and cut-shortening their lifespans.

Viruses may be - or become - the dominant paradigm on this planet, but until further notice, we're still pretty much shouldering the burden of sentient consciousness by our collective and individual selves. We are conceived, gestate, and are born. We live, struggle, suffer, enjoy what we may, and we perish. T'was ever such. Sometimes we eat the virus, sometimes the virus eats us. (Assaults and batteries may or not be included.) In the translated Hexagrams of the I CHING, there exists the advise: take control of your own life, lest someone - or thing - else, does.

Exceptional links RP! Thank you for providing them, a very good read.

Its not too difficult to understand, if the elites grab control of information, it is simply the road taken to change the world by changing
the very basis of each society. "Coining new words" is a particularly interesting concept of this as it confuses people, allows them to
begin to believe there really is such a thing as "experts." Well if they are all experts and anyone lacks understanding it simply becomes
the superiority versus inferiority complex where a huge segment of society shuts down into passivity.

Quite frankly freedom to me is the beginning to engage in analysis....

Smaller than the viruses are the prions which I think are intelligence altering simple protein molecules. They might hold the key for understanding the seat of our evolving consciousness.

Granted that - for the moment - in the reasoning of Buckminster Fuller, we are presently confined to 'this space ship earth'. On the other hand, providing that the human species maintains a generally intact status of civilization, technological progress is likely to lead to migration to environments other than that of this earth, or, even of this solar system or galaxy. Ergo, your observation that we are presently 'slaves' of the planet earth is correct, but it may only be a temporary restriction.

Post Script:
Dear AntonioLao:
Regarding your expressed enigma of 'direction', I think that absolute direction is indeed a quandary, whereas, there is relative direction when considering s center-source-of-disturbance, and the omnidirectional projection of transient 'energy' away from that center.

Exactly - subjugation by jargon.

'Investigators studying the origin of life have produced ribozymes in the laboratory that are capable of catalyzing their own synthesis under very specific conditions, such as an RNA polymerase ribozyme.'
