If you view this video as a basic synopsis of all Politics it explains just about everything. Note that the names and a few genders have been changed to protect the guilty. If you don't get it - just review the video again. It's all there.



I was going to post this elsewhere but decided against. Not worth the trouble. Although the tentacles of the overlords of morality are everywhere, lurking, etc., as I've noted before, hopefully they will give up. But they never do. Schopenhauer was correct.

When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he says something that is not trivial then it is false.

It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment. When I have clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to go into darkness again.

Yes i agree if i am eating only chili its probably best with red wine and even beer. I agree with sommeliers here. I continue to drink milk instead when i have a multi variety meal though and not previously committed to having some wine or beer with it. I dont drink casually alcoholic beverages actually (like without food) only rarely like every 1-2 months with meals but i enjoy both beer and wine when i do. I have never been drunk in my life. I always stop at 2 glasses. If its some heavy ones i stay at 1 shot. I can enjoy the experience but never look forward to it actually.

Jackass had good taste in opening music.

I feel targeted by the online ads, awesome edition:

Gauss was magnetic.

Test # 666

Test # 347. You are a GMO.

Zeno that picture is funny and disgusting at the same time. Its politically incorrect which is great too but i mean it is too much damn it!


I avoid to death public restrooms. There is something massively disgusting about the entire experience. You have to methodically choose what you touch in what order to be able to leave the place and have your hands 99.99% clean. Its a particular combo of using clean paper to open doors or close the faucet at your last move or your shoes etc. A properly scientifically designed restroom to minimize interactions and transfers is brilliant choice when available.

Of course from a scientific perspective nothing will happen 99% of the time you are completely reckless like use your hands dont wash and then touch your eyes or prepare and eat food with your hands. I mean i am not unreasonably paranoid here only stating the irritating nature of knowing what you are doing and how many countless randoms have done the same with whatever situation each had. We open public doors all the time, its just that typically that interaction is far from release of fluids and other disgusting agents when it happens. I methodically wash my hands when back home and avoid using my bare fingers to eat while away or touch eyes etc. You can have disinfectants with you also in your car anyway for when you have to.

But the idea of it is pretty disturbing at another level and that 1% can also be eliminated by proper behavior why not.

Its even more entertaining how one relaxes all these concerns when it comes to sexual adventures with strangers which of course most are when it first happens anyway lol. At least there you had the chance to observe the other person for a while typically and can extrapolate some tolerated chaos. Of course the majority of encounters for many people are probably random.

In scientific society any couple that wants to get intimate can have an instant report of each other's condition if both agree. Its the only responsible thing.

As for level one restroom issues there should be an equipment that at least for men is easy to use within your car without getting in trouble or in any mess. A lot of people that drive a lot every day or long distances could use it or people not willing to try to find public restrooms or not having enough time etc.

The car must have an option that all windows at will become black or reflective when parked and then you use the equipment by fitting it in your trousers and now you buy another 3-4 hours. It comes with its own disinfecting agents and wipes etc. That of course adds one more thing to do every day preparing it. But assuming its used only once or twice a week its ok. The alternative is to always be well prepared when leaving for several hours. At least working in some civilized low activity environment comes also with well maintained and not heavily used bathrooms.

In scientific society we keep reports on people's health and share them prior to deciding on whether to sleep with someone.

Your pre-occupation with a hypothetical future society is kind of troubling, the more I study counselling. You work it into almost every post.

Some things can be said of those who live in the past. Some things can also be said of those who live in the future. Usually, not the best or healthiest things.

Gratitude for the present - the real - is important.

The gratitude for the present is the very fact i am an optimist and not a sociopath selfish sob that wants to gain from every interaction or insult others. Aka a friend. The work i produce every day in the present is my gratitude and faith in humanity at present time. I believe in the idea that future is hard to predict so become the prediction instead.

Yes if someone has herpes it is good to know isnt it?

How about the other things? What is wrong with a quick check of basic venereal diseases if it were possible to have a quick one? You do not need to submit one if you reject it. Find someone else that rejects it too and you are good for each other. Or not?

I work it in every post because it is work in progress and it has to obviously improve every aspect of current world if it has to be a target to obtain. It is not every post by the way, it is every post that in some sense can see an improvement of current systems that is not entirely unreasonably difficult to obtain.

Go out and create a bathroom that tests your health using your teeth washing waste water and your urine. Why not?

If i do not believe in the present then why do i leave every public bathroom i have the unhappiness to use in better condition than i found it? You of course can imagine what this means given how pigs some people are and how they disregard precisely this, the future ...


Ps: If you care for your partner you will do whatever you have to protect the interaction and the other person and still not reject them because they have some disease that can be treated or defended while opening the door to them to reject you if the truth is not comforting them. All this while still not failing to recognize that like Feynman said, science is like sex. It is useful but this is not why we do it. Sex lasts a few seconds or hours at best. Its consequences can last a lifetime. It deserves us to be a little responsible about it and not operate like an animal but as the best animal that ever enjoyed it.

That was the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. I've been on sun holidays and seen beautiful sights but this trip was different. I was alone in hostel- hotel hybrid. But so was everybody. So no one was ever alone. Precisely why this experience was special. There was not a single moment of malaise and I mean that literally. It
was three days of the most positive and beautiful side of human nature that we possibly could offer one another.

Just as I arrived and threw my bag into my locker. I made friends with a Canadian. I asked her not to check out and go to the festival I was going to, instead of moving onto Brussels as she planned. She showed me the metro and took me into the city centre. We hung out until the festival.


A guy from Spain entered the dorm at some point. He overheard us talking about the festival and coincidentally was going also but didn't reveal it until the morning we were going.

We lost him approximately an hour into the thing. I then lost her hours later. I asked someone to try contact her on social media explaining I lost a friend. While she was dancing outdoors in 30 degree sunshine. She said , sure and asked me her name. I couldn't spell it. It was French. I could only pronounce it, and the way an American would, not how a person from Montreal would say it. LOL. She then said " Well you have new friends now". I laughed.

The festival was house and techno but as hard or chill as you wanted. Hammocks. Hookahs. All ages, colours shapes and sizes.

The only problem, was all her stuff was in my locker when I checked out. She also had no key to the room. I chose to leave the locker open in case she lost her key and had to explain at reception, why her stuff is still on the premises.

Took my bag said peace to whoever was left in the dorm and went to the bar it had. Three guys joined me one after the other. Two Swedes. One Dutch. Got drunk. They got high. And we left the hostel and got the metro. After experiencing what was left of the city. I then headed to the airport, unfortunately.

Masque read a few of these quotes if you would please.

No. 32 might be the most relevant...

How about the meaning of life is to be more alive and alert and aware every day by improving your condition with wisdom, education and awareness that wont magically happen by being laid back and lazy. There is greater enjoyment waiting with a little effort today. It is the rise of complexity.

The meaning of life is to play the game and play it well while learning from it the secrets of the existence. Endless growth of wisdom, virtue and happiness is the meaning of life. There is no predetermined meaning or anything. Your trajectory gives you the meaning. The statistical convergence to strange attractors of the chaos that is inherent in playing the game. In that sense there is a greater game being played and you better recognize it as such. The laws of nature define the product of the game. Playing the game and building wisdom is the emerging purpose.

Better said the meaning of life is to learn more math and physics. Sentient AI would get me immediately.

The spring doesn't come faster or fancier every year. The planets don't go faster around the sun in order to arrive somewhere else. If songs were played just to get to the last chord, composers would only write finales. The point of dancing is the dance. Not some destination. - Watts (paraphrased).

If more of us learned to dance, the world would be a better place? No.
If more of us learned to dance, the world would be exactly as it is, yet we'd be in a better place.

The Greeks knew how to dance (and smash plates while doing so).

So join the greatest dance of them all, daring to approach darkness with confidence and win everything with a good heart, friendly attitude and more math and physics that is behind everything and can lead ultimately for that reason to better security, better progress and better parties with events never imagined before in galaxies and planets we never saw in our dreams! So party time it is.

Dance like Deee-Lite is running the show.

Speaking of the meaning or purpose of life...

There is a series on HBO about Chernobyl. Highly recommended so that we never forget what can happen if we do not care to do things right.

To the hundreds of people that sacrificed in the first few days treating the fire and the reactor and the hundreds to thousands now dead among the liquidators beyond what statistically expected for their age, you go ahead and ask what is the meaning of life for them. That thousands to millions didnt die while half of Europe would be rendered kind of uninhabitable (as in live a decade there and have 20% chance of cancer a few years later type of thing). They did die and others didnt. Yes it cannot be greater than this. So yes damn it, go out and find your own meaning because it sure isnt an eternal waste of time having fun which of course always defines us even when we fight it. There is nothing wrong with fun just as long as there is something additional to look forward to. Proper balance of fun and care for more important projects is probably what one should be after if it ever could be recognized what that is. Just refuse to be cynical that there is no meaning. Tell that to a child.

It is difficult to sacrifice a little to win a lot more later but this is how you win a better world. And if not for you for some other generation. We owe it to the thousands of generations before us that gave us all this the good and the bad and the impossibly precious and victorious ahead.

The only way to truly live in the future is to help create it.

But know this. If you really want to live a life of awareness, you have to find a way to live in the distant past, the present and the future at the same time. And then you are finally free, happy and having gotten what its all about.

No one will remember you in a 100 years. Not your actions or sacrifices unless you do something infamous as this point. Since the invention of the transistor, it was game over. The remaining work thereafter is trivial.

John Meynard Keyed assumed we would have the technology by now to have more leisure and more money. And I suspect he was right about that. What he didn't take into account is how stupid we are or how difficult it is to arrange a society. You be the judge.

Anyways, the point is if you can't enjoy the present moment, forget about the future.
Or you'll die miserably like HG Wells.
Unless Kurzweil is correct in that we do find a cure for aging. In that case, I'd vote for keeping everybody alive who is currently and create no more until we figure it out.

More seriously, next time your water, or electricity goes for a few days you'll be reminded of why we are living in a utopia of sorts already. So relax the cacks.

I either hear it or have a confirmation bias. It's not as evident as Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and No Doubt's it's my life drumbeat. Speaking of samples I was 'ere

I saw Chernobyl.

Well paced and well made.

And yes there was sacrifice, but only from the 2 people with the unfortunate charge of cleaning up the mess, and one woman with pseudo-suicidal tendencies. Everyone else was conned into helping, in hilarious ways (e.g. wearing glad-wrap around your genitals believing it'll stop the radiation).

The story is hardly one of sacrifice. Just people doing what they're told to do, and...the power of humiliation (real or imagined) to silence and do violence to truth.

It's kind of an interesting contradiction - as much as the story is against - lies - the entire clean up and prevention of full-blown European catastrophe was dependent on lies.

Lesson: lying is useful, except for when it's not.

Thankfully there are still many people out there that faced with the dilemma to die in a few weeks in exchange for not losing a continent they would have no problem doing the right thing. Lies are told in a communist system all the time. Its all one giant cynical lie. They are even told in a capitalist system by the mfers at top and eternally by companies left and right. But real humans with dignity exist everywhere. Or do you think those treating others at hospitals are always with a gun in their head when taking personal risks however protected and careful?

You do get protected from radiation in your testes if you protect that area up to a point because most radiation risk in that environment are through beta decay and gamma decay and by ingesting emitters too (so protect entry ). Reducing it down to 50% or 10% is better than not doing anything. It is better than not protecting it. Still of course its huge compared to normal living conditions.

You can visit Chernobyl today just not ok to live there. If you lived there you would still probably not develop cancer 80% of the time in 10 years or more but then 20% is bad if it can be avoided.
