WALKING ON THIN ICE

2 ways of Lady

Can’t be sure but Lady K may be in this one — upper right of foto, 1/2 inch from top, inch and a half from right side I think I see Lady K’s left eye. She was sitting opposite me in the fast food booth when I took this foto of the green bottom of my glass of ice water, so the physics are feasible. Of course I took this foto with the camera angled down and she was up, so if this be her, she be reflected and or refracted — a wisp of genie smoke in the bottle. Not many can say that about their spouse.

This is worrisome.

I wanted to watch a restricted trailer for the armageddon angel extermination movie Legion but I don’t like entering personal information online so when they gave me a form to fill out, I lied about my name, birth date and zip code — and I got a message back saying “We’re sorry but we cannot verify your data.”

So I typed in my right name, state, birth date and zip code and was immediately shown the restricted trailer (which contained nothing restrictable at all).

Which means they already knew where I lived and how old I was.

This means there is a database which online advertisements can access to verify my demographic facts. And if a Corporate advertiser can access my personal data at will for their gain without my permission, who and what else can glance at my private data for whatever reason they decide?

I’ve noticed that basically our Government’s function seems to be to serve themselves, the Corporations, the rich, and the powerful — and to keep the rest of us in line.

Our government takes our money — the money of the middle class and the poor — and gives it outright to the Corporations via tax breaks and stimulus checks.

Our Government runs secret experiments on us whenever they feel like it, as they did with the illegal syphilis experiments they performed on the black Tuskegee Airmen from 1932-1972; the MK-ULTRA LSD experiments they performed on our soldiers without telling them from 1950-1960; their secret testing of biological weapons on civilians in San Francisco and the New York subway system; and their purposeful exposure of soldiers to atomic bomb radiation — just to name a few they’ve admitted.

Our Government invades foreign countries whenever it feels like it to steal their oil and send us off to be killed while we kill women and children to secure it for them.

Our Government lies, cheats, steals, kills, bullies, tortures whomever whenever they feel it is their interest to do so. As citizens, our interest is not a factor in their thinking.

The U.S. Government (and every other Government in the world) only serves the power structure, the kleptomaniacs, murderers, thieves and prevaricators in charge.

The rich, the Corporations, and the Governments serving them to our disadvantage are harming our health, stealing our wealth, and killing us whenever they feel like it.

Don’t you think it’s time we started fighting for our lives, perhaps taking our country back from the thugs who control it?

It’s war between us and them, and it’s about time we realized it – because they do.

“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” – Warren Buffett, billionaire

WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE NAUGHTS

The best thing I’ve found this past decade–the best thing that helps *my* human condition–is this kind of sense that I don’t have to hold on to everything mentally–that I can just let things unfold as they will–that I can live in the present moment. I used to think that I had a responsibility to juggle all problems all the time in my mind. But now I realize that by doing that I’m avoiding the biggest responsibility of all, which is to be attentive to the present moment. I tell myself, when coming across a caustic thought, ‘Oh, you know what, Lady? You don’t have to think about that right now!’

And another thing I’ve learned–something that helps me prime my pump–is to visualize what “perfect” Lady would do. Perfect Lady is completely self-actualized, and not fearful, and accomplished. Perfect Kathy goes running every day. Perfect Lady eats right, but Perfect Lady allows herself a chocolate every once in a while. So I ask myself in a situation, ‘OK, what would Perfect Lady be doing right now?’ And then I ask myself, ‘Well, why not pretend you are Perfect Lady? It could be fun!’ And then I pretend I’m Perfect Lady.

It helps to have a kind of calm, kind, practical, gentle adult woman voice in my head telling me what I could do to mellow a situation. This voice in my head sounds like my friend, Wendy. I’m cultivating my head to hear her voice rather than my choir of chaos. Although it’s fun to listen to the choir of chaos for poetry purposes.

All men go to good earth in one eternal silent night

Stephen Thaler in 1989 was curious if he could learn anything about the human near death experience by killing off a computer’s logic switch values while it was processing its data programs, so he typed the lyrics to a bunch of Christmas carols into his computer’s memory and then observed its output as he slowly killed off its logic connections.

As the computer lost more and more of its logic links, it began to hallucinate and weave its remaining strands of memory together into brand-new non-existent Christmas carols created from bits of its lost and fragmented data. Its final output was, “All men go to good earth in one eternal silent night.”

All men go to good earth in one eternal silent night.” How scary, how true.

Thaler refined his concept and instead of killing off his computer’s logic switches, he introduced small bits of random noise into the switch logic value system to alter the weight of each switch’s decision to give its logic choices a bit of elbow room, and as a result his computer started creating unexpected new ideas, new products, new logics heretofore unknown to either human or machine.

Finally he created a second computer to judge between good and bad ideas, then hooked the second one up to the first computer which he had maladjusted to hallucinate new ideas and called the whole thing a Creativity Machine and patented it as a “Device for the Autonomous Generation of Useful Information“. This machine then designed an even better Creativity Machine which Thaler patented as a “Self-Training Neural Network Object” — so his first patent created his second patent.

Since then, Thaler’s machines have created the Oral-B CrossAction toothbrush, developed devices that search the Internet for messages from terrorists, discovered substances harder than diamonds, coined 1.5 million new English words, and trained robotic cockroaches.

So just like in the sci-fi movies, man has now created a machine smarter than man himself that creates even smarter machines that we then build because the machines told us to. I love it.

Thus we begin with the pure poetry of “All men go to good earth in one eternal silent night” and end with what — the Terminator movie Skynet trying to rid Earth of its messy illogical human life forms?

Beam me up, Scotty.
