    1. More confusing to me is why the men are singularly uninvolved in preparing the meat from animals – the deer and rabbits – that are clearly hunted. That’s a skill they would have, since they must regularly hunt well away from the main encampment! I guess manly men don’t field dress hunted animals? [Update: I have subsequently learned that in fact men generally did not field-dress their own hunted kills in the Steppe and possibly also the Great Plains. So mea culpa, this one bit in the show is actually reasonable. Another point, surprisingly, for the Game of Thrones set crew over the books, which don’t include this element.]

      TIL. (I'd thought field-dressing was necessary for safety?)

    1. Choice is important — whether it be the topic, the way to demonstrate the topic, or whether or not to even choose the topic. (In certain districts, there’s a certain level of choice that a teacher can offer — walking the tightrope to lean in favor of students is a difficult, yet worthy task.)

      connected learning

    2. These questions are markedly similar to the role of a progressive educator, especially one operating within the public school system: pairing the values of democratic education, self-direction, community building, critical pedagogy, and choice with those of standards, oversight, and testing

      huge idea right here.

    1. ough, he had long hair like a woman's; it waved like the hair of Nisaba, the goddess of corn. His body was covered with matted hair like Samugan's, the god of cattle. He was innocent of mankind; he knew nothing of the cultivated land. Enkidu ate grass in the hills with the gazelle and lurked with wild beasts at the water-holes; he had joy of the water with the herds of wild game. But there was a trapper who met him one day face to face at the drinking-hole,

      This reminded us of the backgrounds between Jesus and John the Baptist. Although the relationship is different, the two are also very close and one is god-like and the other is rough and feral. The fact that Enkidu's hair was described in so much detail also reminded me a little of Samson in that it was so important.

    1. Five minutes of warm up exercises – gets people stretching andchanges the mood as well as being fun.I play a silly game called ‘Bat and Moth’ which involves peoplestanding in a group and chasing each other. It has no purpose otherthan to get people moving!I start my maths classes with five minutes of mental arithmetic – fastand fun.I ask people to describe what percentage of their attention I have.Answers vary from 20 per cent to 95 per cent. I then ask what needsto happen to get to at least 95 per cent. It’s fun and I get a lot ofuseful information too!

      I like the idea of asking them about the favorite thing that they learned over the past couple of weeks and how they plan to implement it into their lives.

    1. That equity is a zero-sum game,” writes Blackwell. “In fact,when the nation targets support where it is needed most—when wecreate the circumstances that allow those who have been left behindto participate and contribute fully—everyone wins'" (Collins, 2021,paras. 13-14)

      I liked to use automatic the door opener as an example.

      Back in the 1980s when I first came to the US, there were few automatic doors. If there were, most likely they were meant for wheel chairs. But now they are almost everywhere, in the public library, shopping malls, etc.

    2. Digital Tool in Practice: Kahoot! is a game-based studentresponse tool. Educators can design or use predesignedKahoot! games to help students memorize Constitu

      This seems to imply that Kahoot is an educational technology tool that falls in the behaviorist category. The company who makes Kahoot may not be happy with this reference.

    3. Step-by-step tutoring: Step-by-step tutoring is easy to follow1.and students can practice the operations simultaneously, whichallows for a hands-on, trial-and-error learning experience in asafe space (e.g., students can make mistakes and learn fromtheir mistakes in a virtual sandbox rather than on their ownprojects)

      I think that it's important for a platform to offer step-by-step instructions. My students use ST Math program to support their math learning. However, many struggle to understand the instructions of the game, and therefore lose points and are taken back to the beginning of the current game. If there was at least one example shown as to what they have to do, I think the students would benefit from knowing the expectations, and not lose time figuring out what they are supposed to be doing. (some problems they have is that they are unsure what button they are suppose to press, or what the screen is even asking them to do).

    1. How to PlayThis game works best in current versions of Chrome, Firefox or Safari browsers. To play the game:Use KEYBOARD:Arrow keys — move aroundEnter key — press buttonsEsc key — close popup boxes (including this one)Bump into things to interactPay attention to status messages below the map Close

      A good example of defining background from the foreground.

    2. This game works best in current versions of Chrome, Firefox or Safari browsers.

      I like that they are informing us on what browsers and versions of those browsers are recommended.

      Notice how it is phrased as a suggestion instead of a mandatory factor in being able to play the game

    1. And when you find someone with that magical eighth—the generosity gene—do whatever it takes to bring that game-changer into the organizational fold.

      The generosity gene is the game changer is finding new team members.

    1. Companies research to find the “flow zone” sweet spot where "the challenge matches the skill level of the player and exceeded by a little to drive the player to keep playing on and on and on," he said.

      This is why people would keep addicting to the online games. The companies would make the game a little bit challenging for each level. The players would want to win the game so that they will spend lots of hours to play the game.

    2. In May 2019, the World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder but only a year later, "they launched a major campaign called #PlayApartTogether, promoting gaming as one of the ways of combating COVID-19," said Lavounis.

      It is quite interesting that the WHO is contradicting its statement and action.

    1. If you want to find specific types of files, add “file:” to your search. This will show results that are only a specific kind of file

      Another very helpful trick. As an English major, this is a game changer! Especially on the Google Scholar engine that might not always have the pdf or file attached: this changes that tediousness!

    1. These masters could instruct even Frier BACON; and frighten Thomas AQUINAS.

      This is so funny. The random reference to a "frightened Thomas Aquinas" really ties in the white fragility.

    1. A social environment, such as relational mobility which represents availability of opportunities to develop new relationships in society, cultivates an individual’s psychology or behavior in interpersonal situations and their social network. Generalized trust, which represents trust among people in general, is a psychological tendency to expand individuals’ social ties in a fluid society. Using the data of 158 students, we analyzed whether an individual’s belief of generalized trust measured by a psychological scale, behavioral trust in a Trust Game, and perception of relational mobility affected the social network in which they were embedded. We conducted a survey to assess psychological measures and social networks under the COVID-19 pandemic for first-year university students. After approximately six months, we subsequently conducted the Trust Game for the same students. We found that generalized trust correlated with the number of outdegrees (i.e., the nomination of close friends). In contrast, behavioral trust and the perception of relational mobility were not associated with generalized trust and any social network measures. The results support the argument that the belief of generalized trust functions as an adaptive psychological mechanism to expand individuals’ relationships in their social networks.

    1. Before this season, the Bengals had not won a playoff game since 1990, when they beat the Oilers (now the Titans), the longest drought in the four major North American sports.

      1975-trade in Ivory is governed by the Convention on Int Tarde in Endangered Species (CITES) pg 62

      "What is beyond doubt is that the import and re-export of ivorry and rhino horn from South Africa was a substantial trade which was growing ins zie, and that it was a direct result of South Afican destabilization of Mozambique and Angola in particular. .. South African has now taken over from Burundi as one of the chief conduits for illegal ivory from all over Africa, withouht being able to establish exactly who was controlling the trade, or how they were doing it.. From Johanensburg most rhino horn was re-exported to taiwan..." pg. 63

      3. What argument is Ellis (1994) making about power and control of territory in relation to wildlife conservation?

    1. Designing games suitable for players who aren’t like you (such as children, novice or casual players) risks incorrect assumptions about that audience unduly influencing your design discussions. There is a risk you’re making a game for no one.

      are there any examples of games that have failed and exactly why their design was so off?

    2. Everyone on your gamedev team is a designer, not just those with ‘design’ in their job title. Seemingly small choices made by every one of the team will impact how the game experience manifests in players.

      This seems like a rather risky idea considering those who do not specialize in design elements can make choices that then constrain others. While the cooperative and holistic elements can positively impact the user experience, it also feels like there are serious consequences for each and every team member's choices.

    3. is part of a large toolkit used to ensure the experience that you’ve designed is truly reflected in the mind of your player

    4. ‘too close’

      This term is used frequently in this article to provide a reason why UX is useful in the gaming world, but it doesn't give any specific examples of how this has happened in game development.

    1. Even forms of entertainment, which should be a break from the achievement mindset, incorporate it. You need to level up in the video game. You need to add more followers on Instagram. You need to improve your performance at a sport or hobby. You need to check off more items on some bucket list of films seen, books read, landmarks visited, etc.

      "The burnout society"

    1. After the game, the experimenter told the child that they would receive six stickers as areward for doing a good job. She explained that the child could keep as many of the stickers asthey wanted, but that there were some children coming in later who might not get any stickers,and that–if the child wanted–they could give some stickers away to those children. She pro-vided a donation box and an envelope and reiterated that the child could give away as many ofthe 6 stickers as they liked by putting them in the box, and keep as many stickers as they likedby putting them in the envelope.

    1. “If you’re not in a coordination game, there’s no reason to act according to your expectation of how other people will act, and so legitimacy is not important. But as we have seen, coordination games are everywhere in society, and so legitimacy turns out to be quite important indeed. In almost any environment with coordination games that exists for long enough, there inevitably emerge some mechanisms that can choose which decision to take. These mechanisms are powered by an established culture that everyone pays attention to these mechanisms and (usually) does what they say. Each person reasons that because everyone else follows these mechanisms, if they do something different they will only create conflict and suffer, or at least be left in a lonely forked ecosystem all by themselves.”

      "如果你不在协调游戏中,就没有理由按照你对其他人将如何行动的期望行事,所以合法性并不重要。但正如我们所看到的,协调游戏在社会中随处可见,因此,合法性被证明确实相当重要。在几乎所有存在协调游戏的环境中,只要存在的时间足够长,就不可避免地会出现一些机制,可以选择采取何种决策。这些机制由一种既定的文化提供动力,即每个人都关注这些机制,并且(通常)按他们说的做。每个人的理由是,因为其他人都遵循这些机制,如果他们做一些不同的事情,他们只会造成冲突和痛苦,或者至少被留在一个孤独的分叉生态系统中,独自一人"。

      This is one solution that I feel more companies need to adopt at least temporarily to slow and manage our current e-waste problems before they become unmanageable and force not only our present selves but the future generations to adapt.

    1. No matterwhere he is, he falls.

      Power dynamics in this relationship? What does this little game tell.... he also has a playfulness to him and hence his comment maybe should not be taken so seriously.

    1. irst,participants were told the experiment was a ‘‘quiet game’’ andasked not to communicate with one another during the duration ofthe test session; this eliminated any verbal and non-verbal cuingthat took place and freed the actor from having to answerquestions about her allocation choices. Second, both children wereasked to place their allocations into separate, opaque cloth bagsafter each trial to minimize distractions and also to reduce theability of the recipient to directly compare her own allocation tothe one received by the actor. At the end of the test session,children were taken to opposite ends of the testing room withdifferent experimenters to count their stickers.

      Description

    1. Any system of interactivity can of course be explored: If X happens, what are the consequences? What are all the ways in which pattern Y expresses itself, and to what do those expressions lead? By inspecting the structure of a system in this way, we can find the core ideas of the system, and see how those ideas illustrate fundamental truths of our universe. We present a game design aesthetic that values looking for systems that express these truths in the cleanest possible way. We explain how this is different from more-traditional combinatoric design techniques; we show examples from our games and describe a method for applying the aesthetic in general.

    1. This involves defining which parts of the game are actually "the game,"

      maybe an example of this could be - playing GTA, driving a car which is normal, in real life and in the game but the difference or defining which part of the game are actually "the game" could be driving rash, illegally and irresponsibly.

    2. These are techniques which make a player feel like he or she is playing the game, and not being "played" by it. And yes, these can even be implemented even in story-based games.

      These techniques are hard to fully depict but if the game is able to do this then it is a successful game.

    3. which make us "root for," or identify with, a given character

      an emotional bond with a character in a game goes a long way and helps the aesthetics.

    4. graphics alone were enough to make a great game, but players are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with experiences that lack in emotional breadth and depth

      Graphics will never be enough to make a good game, it might be pleasing to look at the game but graphics alone do not give out the aesthetics of a game. Players will play a game maybe once or twice just for its graphics but when a player learns, or emotionally relates to a game, that is when a game can be termed as a good game.

    1. Put more simply, the product is dirt — four-and-a-half ounces of it, sealed in a sleek black plastic baggie and sold for $110 plus shipping.

      Oh my god! It's like a family friendly version of Bell Delphine's bath water! It's a useless product sold for ridiculous prices to an audience that is desperately looking for something to fill a space. In one case, it was a want for some physical representation of an idol, and in this case, it was a want for a solution to COVId or a feeling of security. If we were to relate this to the game we played in the blog post assignment, then I would probably classify this as emotional manipulation. People looking to feel secure in their health while the pandemic rages were taken advantage of by this company selling dirt.

      Steven Pressfield in The War of Art argues that we must fight the Resistance every day. Or at least engage with it in a wrestling match.

      "What's important is the work. That's the game I have to suit up for. That's the field on which I have to leave everything I've got." (The War of Art, 65)

      Sometimes I don't have much faith in what I've got. I just shut up and keep swimming and in the end offer up a hunk of my kill. I have earned my keep another day. (BTW, I am at this point stealing liberally from Pressfield's text, but what of that.)

      When hovering over each sport ie. NFL, NBA, NHL, and soccer, there is a list of leagues and teams. This is a good example of website accessibility especially for those people with visual impairments such as colour blindness and low vision as the website has included the names of the teams in darker letters beside the logos, making them stand out. Most of the time, teams are recognized through their team colours and logos which would be difficult to perceive for those users with disabilities so some parts of this website such as this one does a good job at being perceivable for those individuals.

    1. For Grant, Roosevelt, and other architects of the country’s parks and game refuges, wild nature was worth saving for its aristocratic qualities; where these were lacking, they were indifferent.

      The desire to "save" things seems to come from a place of class and privilege. Overall it is a status helper

    1. But because their presence there would constitute a powerful part of the history of the game.

      That's a great point. Steroids is part of the history of baseball. (and really, baseball is largely about history. You can't just remove the history from baseball).

    1. Recitation is not learning, and tens of thousands of teenagers pulling five speed-written and panic-driven paragraphs out of their asses that will be read in two minutes by someone who can can make or break their entire fucking future is no way to teach

      I always thought that school was one big memorization game and that the only people with a bright future were those who could remember the most. I remember feeling doomed as I am awful at memorization, however through hard work and dedication I found that I too have a fighting chance.

      Why do we value intelligence as the memorization of trivial bullshit?

    1. sometimes you can do everything right for many years but not enjoy any results. For example, if you started investing in 2001, by 2008 you would have earned zero return (thanks to the GFC). This can happen despite employing a sound, evidence-based approach. But investor’s that have the discipline and fortitude to stick with it, play the long game, have faith in evidence-based strategies, are always well-rewarded in the long run.

    1. "What is it about this bike shed ?" Some of you have asked me. It's a long story, or rather it's an old story, but it is quite short actually. C. Northcote Parkinson wrote a book in the early 1960'ies, called "Parkinson's Law", which contains a lot of insight into the dynamics of management. You can find it on Amazon, and maybe also in your dads book-shelf, it is well worth its price and the time to read it either way, if you like Dilbert, you'll like Parkinson. Somebody recently told me that he had read it and found that only about 50% of it applied these days. That is pretty darn good I would say, many of the modern management books have hit-rates a lot lower than that, and this one is 35+ years old. In the specific example involving the bike shed, the other vital component is an atomic power-plant, I guess that illustrates the age of the book. Parkinson shows how you can go in to the board of directors and get approval for building a multi-million or even billion dollar atomic power plant, but if you want to build a bike shed you will be tangled up in endless discussions. Parkinson explains that this is because an atomic plant is so vast, so expensive and so complicated that people cannot grasp it, and rather than try, they fall back on the assumption that somebody else checked all the details before it got this far. Richard P. Feynmann gives a couple of interesting, and very much to the point, examples relating to Los Alamos in his books. A bike shed on the other hand. Anyone can build one of those over a weekend, and still have time to watch the game on TV. So no matter how well prepared, no matter how reasonable you are with your proposal, somebody will seize the chance to show that he is doing his job, that he is paying attention, that he is *here*. In Denmark we call it "setting your fingerprint". It is about personal pride and prestige, it is about being able to point somewhere and say "There! *I* did that." It is a strong trait in politicians, but present in most people given the chance. Just think about footsteps in wet cement. I bow my head in respect to the original proposer because he stuck to his guns through this carpet blanking from the peanut gallery, and the change is in our tree today. I would have turned my back and walked away after less than a handful of messages in that thread.

      Gutes Projektmanagement

    1. Raymond had an interest in video game development since the eighth grade. He would race home from school, eager to open up Blender, and begin crafting 3D models of weapons and characters with the television on silent in the background. As a child he took great pleasure in playing a variety of games, from platformers like Sonic the Hedgehog, action like Grand Theft Auto, and almost the entire Call of Duty franchise, so developing games seemed like the next best thing.

      Telling

    1. Let’s start by identifying projects that are (mostly) “complete”. These projects aim to specify a system end-to-end, minimizing the need for subjective interpretation, renegotiation, and external governance. In software terminology, the goal of these systems is to be “correct by construction”. Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mining is one such system. Bitcoin’s completeness is a function of its verifiable computation — deterministic hashing algorithms plus hard-coded game-theoretic incentives. Together, these consistently drive the system towards the outcome of producing a correct chain, while minimizing the need for human interpretation or external decision-making.

      Right ... a few questions here. First, what happens if someone steals my bitcoin via fraud or similar? Then we suddenly need enforcement etc.

      Second, how is that different from current banking system that also largely runs without human interpretation. The key difference (as i understand it) is the "decentralization" i.e. no central authority. But why does that make it more complete (if anything it makes it more incomplete as bitcoin is so similar).

    1. Interesting to note how a player's expectations of generic conventions can have such a huge effect on the emotions created. Like if you can fight monsters, players assume you should be able to do so at least semi-effectively because that's how they've learned combat systems are "supposed to work." (Chekhov's combat system?) Balancing the necessity of failure or "death" for tension with the risk that repeated failures could also undermine the drama by highlighting the artificiality of the game seems like a very difficult thing to get right. I also think the idea of a player noticing the feedback systems and becoming more immersed because they "trust" the game to provide them a consistent experience is fascinating because that seems counter to the usual notion of "immersion." Designing the sanity system more as a continuous "mood feature" rather than a discrete mechanic based on resources seems like a clever adjustment to generic conventions. Allowing a negative feedback system invisibly advantage a player, avoiding players unknowingly "dooming" their game state, seems so counter to the hostile posture of a horror game but it's interesting to note how many very influential horror titles use the technique. Interesting how much of the game design of Amnesia was about minimizing frustration in the immediate gameplay, but still creates discomfort in other ways. Like how players being frustrated by a "bad" combat system was something to be avoided, yet removing the ability to fight back also could be seen as creating a different sort of frustration, as it disempowers players who may resent being "forced" to run.

      It was also interesting to know about the blog which spoke about playing GTA 4 as a law abiding citizen and following all laws. Hearing conversations and abuses while walking the streets. All of these situations are inspired from our daily lives but we tend to miss them or ignore them as there are so many other attributes which require more of our attention.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations for this study that should be considered. First, while leveraging the regular WTD hunting season resulted in a large number of samples, the present work was conducted over a short time period and a relatively small geographic region. Therefore, our study represents a snapshot in time and space. Future work should aim to obtain longitudinal data to investigate maintenance of SARS-CoV-2 in Québec WTD populations and assess for spatiotemporal patterns in pathogen ecology. Second, samples analyzed in this study were derived from harvested deer and were therefore collected post-mortem. Although 98% of samples were collected within 48 hours of harvest, it is possible that inhibitors or sample degradation occurred between harvest and sample collection. Lastly, our study only focuses on free-ranging WTD populations and we therefore cannot make inferences about SARS-CoV-2 in captive conspecifics. At the time of writing, surveillance is currently ongoing across Canada. Our findings underscore that further surveillance efforts in WTD in Québec and across Canada are warranted. Further work is needed to understand how the virus is transmitted from humans to deer, how efficiently and sustainably the virus is transmitted among deer in a natural setting, if WTD could ultimately serve as a reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 in Canada, how viral adaptations occur in WTD, and if and how frequently is deer-to-human transmission occurring.

    1. that more data would be needed to assess whether it is significant

      Exactly. He effectively created his algorithm on the training data set, and can't independently verify the results.

      Notably, the words used in the game are meant to be guessed by humans -- so using an optimal strategy that considers every english word should perform fairly well.

    2. “It makes perfect sense,” says Moro from his home in Boston. “For the game to be a success, it needs to be simple and playable, and picking the most common terms means that in the end, we all get it right in just a few tries.”

      Esteban Moro

      For games to be a success they need to meet a set of Goldilock's conditions, they should be simple enough to learn to play and win, but complex enough to still be challenging.

      How many other things in life need this sort of balance between simplicity and complexity to be successful?

      Is there an information theoretic statement that bounds this mathematically? What would it look like for various games?

    3. Cross-referencing the correct answers from previous Wordles with a body of the most commonly used English terms, Moro confirmed that Wardle chooses frequently used words in English, something the game’s inventor also pointed out in his interview with The New York Times, which mentioned that he avoided rare words.

      Wordle specifically chooses more common words which cuts back drastically on the complexity of the game.

    1. the design and deployment of indicators has been identified as apotential site for methodological innovation: Developing indicators of interdisciplinarity couldbe an effective way to counter the devaluation of interdisciplinary research and enable thearticulation and valuation of interdisciplinary research agendas

      In light of the previous sentence this shift seems not warranted? Metrics are ignorance producing devices, so let's create more metrics for interdisciplinary research to value it higher? Is this a version of 'let's just play the game'?

    1. underbored

      Or maybe think of this as "underboard", a game to be played by two barely attending members of the audience, a teetotalling version of a State of the Union drinking game.

    1. Investment mistake # 2: to reduce risk, aim for a quick profit  For almost 20 years I have written ad nauseam that ‘playing the long game’ gives you the greatest chance of successfully building wealth. That is, make investment/financial decisions that are focused solely on maximising outcomes in 10+ years’ time. This allows you to drown out all the (media) noise and focus on sound fundamentals. Fundamentals, not noise (rhetoric), drive investment returns in the long run.However, the main challenge with playing the long game is delayed gratification. Take property as a good example. It is likely that you will need to hang onto a property for 10 to 20 years before you make a decent return in dollar terms (as this chart demonstrates eloquently). That is a long time for you to maintain faith and confidence in your investment decisions.  But for many people, this approach feels risky. Generating immediate investment returns gives them the confidence that they are making progress. As such, they start to consider investment methodologies, products and strategies that aim to make quick returns.

    1. JOHN F. KENNEDY SPEECH ON "SECRECY" AND "SECRET ... SOCIETIES." ... || with a new forward from our "speaker." ||| ((( PHIPLE TRENIXON ? STARK TRE )))) Do we not think "The Truman Show" and Oppenheimer and Heisenberg and Ensteini are telling? This is Adam Dobrini on the "who dropped the BIG one? Gates?" ⚓ President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.   Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again. This same technology has the ability to cause people not only to collude against their own best interest, but also to blame themselves or believe they are somehow at fault for actions they had no way to control; only they also have no way to know that because in this particular case the primary purpose of this subversive movement is to hide the existence of this technology in sum.  In homage to my favorite childhood novel, Ender's Game (I have to note "Light Son" in the translation of the authors first) I spent a good portion of time years ago trying to subtly lay down a significant amount of proof of the existence of this technology on forums all over the internet from Wikipedia to Reddit using the names "Prometheus Locke" and "Damonthesis."    Not surprising to me, I ran headfirst into the manifestation of this conspiracy; dozens if not hundreds of people who simply refused to believe that the information I was presenting was factual or important... despite it coming from sources like the KGB, the NSA, a number of military publications as well as my own interpretation of ancient hieryglyphs in Dendera and Greek and Christian art which depicts this "subversive technology" as a sun disk surrounding our minds.   These pushes towards the truth, along with almost everything I have written are still available for you to see and read today; including the monolithic and ruthless stupidity of a large group of people acting in concert to hide something that is the difference between life and death.  Stand there and do nothing, and you are a part of that ruthless conspiracy as soon as the information is gone; and then there is nothing you can do about a world that will be plunged into darkness forever.  Take this moment to reflect, it is there for you to see just how easily the truth can be hidden from the entire world and barely anyone would ever notice. There is a war for the sanctity of our souls going on all around us.  That is not some esoteric thing, the soul; it is truly who you are and what you believe.  The Religion of the Stars would tell you that were this war to continue unchecked in secret as it is being waged now in order to control the proliferation of knowledge that we are in simulated reality and that our minds and beliefs are being altered... we would one day wind up in the mythical place where there are multiple "species" who all appear to be human, bi-ped and with nearly identical physiology; and yet they would not remember that they must have had a common planet of origin simply based on the truth of biological evolution, nor would they have any emotions.  You see, as this war continues, it is our emotions and beliefs that cannot be reinforced externally; to win a war with mind control only logic could be externally reinforced, and then we would logically conclude that humanity would either magically become Romulan or Vulcan... in order to preserve "life" rather than "society" or "civilization." Do not take the truth for granted, you stand at the forefront of a battle in a world where our aggressors believe that they are more civilized than us, more advanced, and both sides worry that were this technology to fall in our laps that we would do the wrong thing.  Perhaps artificially create a vendetta that could destroy everything, the Romulans; or perhaps in our infantile growing stage voluntarily give us too much of what has given us the great society we have... what has allowed us to survive and continue civilizing simply because we do not understand the technology and what kind of effects come from changing ourselves freely.   Yesterday, I read an article about two people that want to use black market brain implants to jack themselves into the Matrix.  Careful, because now we are in Star Trek, in the Matrix and not knowing it... and trying desperately to find a doorway to Heaven that I keep on telling you is speaking to you and telling you that the doorway is ending world hunger... you have to put it on TV. I say with all my heart that I know we are living in a simulated reality.  I have seen the evidence with my own eyes, not only effecting my senses but also the actions of so many people around me that I can say with confidence that if we do not publicly expose the existence of this technology our civilization is lost.  I can tell you and show you that it is the primary purpose of religion in general to expose the connection between divine inspiration, demonic possession, and Adam Marshall Dobrin.  It is the crux of a unifying thread from ancient Egypt to the book of Genesis to Joshua and the book of Revelation and the movies the Matrix and  the Fifth Element.  Showing us all this is God's message, timeless, and powerful not just in the ancient days of sackloth and etching the truth on stone tablets, but also today when the truth is etched at the heart of our Periodic Table and in the skies in the names of American Micro Devices and nearly every movie you see.  Do not take for granted that we have a benefactor in the sky trying to help civilization continue to thrive, do not think we've already won; he is telling you through me it is censorship and secrecy that are the manifestations of this very advanced technology that destroy civilization, they are the abyss--and you stand motionless. I can tell you over and over again that Quantum Entanglement is a key point of God's plan; one that shows us very clearly that even the smartest minds in physics have failed to connect the simple dots that show us that the idea of "wave-function collapse" is very much a real manifestation of a computer rendering engine--and that it's absolutely impossible for life to have been created in this world of matter not realizing itself until it is viewed by a conscious living observer.  More to the point, today, it is absolutely impossible for life to come out of this place while we do not understand the importance of what "virtual reality" and its connection to civilization mean--because of quantum mechanics our entire civilizations beliefs and understanding of the natural laws of the universe have been greatly harmed and turned the complete wrong way because of a belief that a phenomenon we see here is a "natural one" that can be mathematically unified with things like gravity and electromagnetism.  Spooky action, no longer at a distance, is that we will all be ghosts if you do not help me to spread the truth. I try to understand what it is that your minds believe makes the difference between "news" and ... something that you should hide from the rest of the world.  A number of news outlets have covered a story based on nothing more than "logical speculation" that we are in fact living in a simulated reality.  As a novelty, you might notice that it hasn't done much of anything; even to reveal the very simple truth that not knowing this thing is keeping our society from having the knowledge it needs not only to continue the spark of life in the natural universe, but to continue "civilizing" and realizing that ending world hunger and sickness are not merely possibilities or choices we might make were this information proven... they are mandatory, we would all do them.  So says the creator of this Universe who has given us this message to see the trials and hurdles that are the barrier between Heaven and Hell. He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it. I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned." Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people. I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day. I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward. You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.  I need you to try now. The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it’s in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It’s mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary. I’m not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion. This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security. And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.  John F. Kennedy’s address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961 ᐧ Truth changes. Yesterday your truth was that you were an inhabitant on the only planet in the reality you knew that was also the beginning of life in the Universe.  Right this moment, almost all of that is not actually true; but you probably still believe it.  Soon, the real truth will actually be true; and that is that you are not in reality, and you are in the place that created the beginning of life (once more) in the Universe as well as the place that created (a) Heaven.  What’s more illustrious still, is that we will be part of the place that effectively  and happily bridges reality with Heaven; and shows the entire Universe that civilization can survive the invention of virtual reality. 2read.net

      Said to be the speech that "got him killed" by many people; this is supposedly his last public words before the grassy knoll and the "Lone Gunman" appeared on X-files .. long after I can recall my mother being on the beach in Miami when she retold of the news that echoed around the cosmos.  It appears to be a very stern warning of something that is loosely described at the time but very clearly the machinations of the very same machine which I fight against, and which we now might associate with "the Borg" and the "tide turning" of Hunter S. Thompsons famous quote ... now "more famous than ever before."

      מה**נשתנה**

      I am writing a final summary of the "state of outer space" as far as I can see; and we stare at the ISS and MIR and a world that has forgone in fiction the gravity of the situation here.  We are stagnant and without a hope or dream in the world of ever reaching interstellar sleep or intragalactic dreams; without a significant kick in the "wake up NASA, wake up ESA, at the Chandrayan-2 and at the floating paper hot air balloons ... God has shown me the Diaspora launching from the sands of the Navajo desert, and I believe Deseret is very explain-ably tied to Sherharazade and to the thousand and first night that has ended with a fusion of Nobel "peas" and a strange dissertation on the change wrought by the lack of "gas chambers" in Night and the very upsetting modicum of "unreality" that permeates the change from chants of the Shema to speaking Aramaic and the mourners Kaddish as the "crematorium" heralds an era of "what's the point of history without literature" and "where did Exodus ever lead us without to the parting of Dead and Red seas without a Nile and without an Amazon?"

      מה נשתנה

      I write here about my religion, and speak it to you in written words, I am a Yiddish Jihadist, born and raised a Jewish American; Bar Mitzvah'd in the true Temple and House of God, a place in Plantation, FL that literally "means everything to me."  I read words from the Torah about Joseph's Dream and wrote a speech that I wish to God today I could retrieve and see on the original film it was recorded in.  It might be possible.  It would be a tragedy not to deliver the original to my eyes and to anyone who wanted to see what a child reading of a dream he did not understand spoke of words from the future about the creation of Heaven and the truth about the avenu malkaynu.

      This night is different from all others.  This is the end of days and the fire of the last day.  Before I would have told you all you needed was Norse and a decent American Education to really understand the difference between a throne and the Cherubim, but today it's become more clear that we need more than Pink Floyd and more than another brick in the wall.  We need more than Islam and we need more than 9/11 and Yom Hashoah.  We need me, and we need you on your knees begging for forgiveness for the travesty of shambles out country is in.  How dare you continue every day to speak in vain abovcl the Lord you dare call "stupid" and a "motherfucker" you belong in your graves today and you will see them.

      I stand here writing from the foot of Styx, from the land that sees Narayana and still "begs to differ" despite a resounding call from the Heavens themselves to read Exodus and to change the land that we live in bnefore a "flood worse than [just] in your heads" overcomes and subsumes the entirety of the skies and grounds once mistakenly called "an empire of dirt."  On Adamah I write to the secret echelon of the United States of America known as the Fifth Column and I beg them to scream like the Heavens have never seen Samael and Dr. Seuss wonder about the land of Who-ville and Hungry where the child "in Cindy" and the songs of the Doors here beckon us to contrast Stargate and Star Trek TNG, for the light of the Holodeck and the Holocaust which screams that we understand the meaning of "Holographic Universe" and stand down fighting the tyranny of "one" who stands for the unity of all and the salvation of the entirety of the cosmos.

      We are mistaken to stand against me.  I am the cat with nine billion lives and nothing and nobody will prevail when I am in jeopardy.  Gilgamesh says "against me only the most hubristic slaves in the galaxy would dare to rise up, for the mightiest weapon in the entirety of history is nothing more than intelligence and the civilization that has given mortality a shake of the Thunderstick of Prince and the Lightning of Blitzen.  My red nose shines bright, and if you ever saw it ... you might even say ... "it glows!"

      With these words I leave you, and prayers that this is our last night without an IDL that moves from Beiring to "north of the moon" and beyond the "Eleventh House" of Aquarius.  This is the dawning of the age of the Sagitar, and I need a "scimitar post green key" to really be sure that I've "gotten through" the madness.  In my dreams I've traveled to Ultima Thule and then untraveled it, I've begged for transit to Ceres and without actually achieving it we can shoot arrows at the SOL star we will ever see in or near the place known to the Jews of Lore as "the Holy of Holies."

      שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃

      Sh'ma Yisra'el, YHWH 'eloheinu, YHWH 'eḥad:

      For most of my life I would have genuflected and listened to Mordechai and to my Rabbi; I would have told you all that I was brought up by the best Jews in America and we do not believe in God--though in our hearts we believe we are him and we fear him.

      Things have changed.  This is the creator of believe the words are about me and believe I am in disbelief and truly it might be the day of awe;

      Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha'olam, bo're m'orei ha'esh

      the walls and halls will fade away ...

      --

      Forwarding this in advance of today or tomorrow's ... "Northeaster" email ... it's an old one that wasn't widely distributed; mostly (about) his speech, which of course is a gem.

      What I'm writing now is supposed to be focusing on ... basically "how knowledge of technology" things lke "time travel" and "virtual reality" ... changes our "perspective" on things; like what's important and what's ... the end of everything.  Anyway, I hope you see that there are things that can be destroyed and there are things that can't--for instance if we lost "life" totally, we wouldn't ever see us again ... unless we encountered something very strange--

      On the other hand we could lose "computers" and rebuild them quickly--see that, it's important.

      President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.

      Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again.

      This same technology has the ability to cause people not only to collude against their own best interest, but also to blame themselves or believe they are somehow at fault for actions they had no way to control; only they also have no way to know that because in this particular case the primary purpose of this subversive movement is to hide the existence of this technology in sum.  In homage to my favorite childhood novel, Ender's Game (I have to note "Light Son" in the translation of the authors first) I spent a good portion of time years ago trying to subtly lay down a significant amount of proof of the existence of this technology on forums all over the internet from Wikipedia to Reddit using the names "Prometheus Locke" and "Damonthesis."    Not surprising to me, I ran headfirst into the manifestation of this conspiracy; dozens if not hundreds of people who simply refused to believe that the information I was presenting was factual or important... despite it coming from sources like the KGB, the NSA, a number of military publications as well as my own interpretation of ancient hieryglyphs in Dendera and Greek and Christian art which depicts this "subversive technology" as a sun disk surrounding our minds.

      These pushes towards the truth, along with almost everything I have written are still available for you to see and read today; including the monolithic and ruthless stupidity of a large group of people acting in concert to hide something that is the difference between life and death.  Stand there and do nothing, and you are a part of that ruthless conspiracy as soon as the information is gone; and then there is nothing you can do about a world that will be plunged into darkness forever.  Take this moment to reflect, it is there for you to see just how easily the truth can be hidden from the entire world and barely anyone would ever notice.

      There is a war for the sanctity of our souls going on all around us.  That is not some esoteric thing, the soul; it is truly who you are and what you believe.  The Religion of the Stars would tell you that were this war to continue unchecked in secret as it is being waged now in order to control the proliferation of knowledge that we are in simulated reality and that our minds and beliefs are being altered... we would one day wind up in the mythical place where there are multiple "species" who all appear to be human, bi-ped and with nearly identical physiology; and yet they would not remember that they must have had a common planet of origin simply based on the truth of biological evolution, nor would they have any emotions.  You see, as this war continues, it is our emotions and beliefs that cannot be reinforced externally; to win a war with mind control only logic could be externally reinforced, and then we would logically conclude that humanity would either magically become Romulan or Vulcan... in order to preserve "life" rather than "society" or "civilization."

      Do not take the truth for granted, you stand at the forefront of a battle in a world where our aggressors believe that they are more civilized than us, more advanced, and both sides worry that were this technology to fall in our laps that we would do the wrong thing.  Perhaps artificially create a vendetta that could destroy everything, the Romulans; or perhaps in our infantile growing stage voluntarily give us too much of what has given us the great society we have... what has allowed us to survive and continue civilizing simply because we do not understand the technology and what kind of effects come from changing ourselves freely.

      Yesterday, I read an article about two people that want to use black market brain implants to jack themselves into the Matrix.  Careful, because now we are in Star Trek, in the Matrix and not knowing it... and trying desperately to find a doorway to Heaven that I keep on telling you is speaking to you and telling you that the doorway is ending world hunger... you have to put it on TV.

      I say with all my heart that I know we are living in a simulated reality.  I have seen the evidence with my own eyes, not only effecting my senses but also the actions of so many people around me that I can say with confidence that if we do not publicly expose the existence of this technology our civilization is lost.  I can tell you and show you that it is the primary purpose of religion in general to expose the connection between divine inspiration, demonic possession, and Adam Marshall Dobrin.  It is the crux of a unifying thread from ancient Egypt to the book of Genesis to Joshua and the book of Revelation and the movies the Matrix and  the Fifth Element.  Showing us all this is God's message, timeless, and powerful not just in the ancient days of sackloth and etching the truth on stone tablets, but also today when the truth is etched at the heart of our Periodic Table and in the skies in the names of American Micro Devices and nearly every movie you see.  Do not take for granted that we have a benefactor in the sky trying to help civilization continue to thrive, do not think we've already won; he is telling you through me it is censorship and secrecy that are the manifestations of this very advanced technology that destroy civilization, they are the abyss--and you stand motionless.

      I can tell you over and over again that Quantum Entanglement is a key point of God's plan; one that shows us very clearly that even the smartest minds in physics have failed to connect the simple dots that show us that the idea of "wave-function collapse" is very much a real manifestation of a computer rendering engine--and that it's absolutely impossible for life to have been created in this world of matter not realizing itself until it is viewed by a conscious living observer.  More to the point, today, it is absolutely impossible for life to come out of this place while we do not understand the importance of what "virtual reality" and its connection to civilization mean--because of quantum mechanics our entire civilizations beliefs and understanding of the natural laws of the universe have been greatly harmed and turned the complete wrong way because of a belief that a phenomenon we see here is a "natural one" that can be mathematically unified with things like gravity and electromagnetism.  Spooky action, no longer at a distance, is that we will all be ghosts if you do not help me to spread the truth.

      I try to understand what it is that your minds believe makes the difference between "news" and ... something that you should hide from the rest of the world.  A number of news outlets have covered a story based on nothing more than "logical speculation" that we are in fact living in a simulated reality.  As a novelty, you might notice that it hasn't done much of anything; even to reveal the very simple truth that not knowing this thing is keeping our society from having the knowledge it needs not only to continue the spark of life in the natural universe, but to continue "civilizing" and realizing that ending world hunger and sickness are not merely possibilities or choices we might make were this information proven... they are mandatory, we would all do them.  So says the creator of this Universe who has given us this message to see the trials and hurdles that are the barrier between Heaven and Hell.

      He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it.

      I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned."

      Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people.

      I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day.

      I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward.

      You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.

       I need you to try now.

      The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.

      Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.

      That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know.

      For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

      It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It's mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

      No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.

      I'm not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

      I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them.

      Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.

      That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.

      This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security.

      And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.

      John F. Kennedy's address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961

      Truth changes.

      Yesterday your truth was that you were an inhabitant on the only planet in the reality you knew that was also the beginning of life in the Universe.  Right this moment, almost all of that is not actually true; but you probably still believe it.  Soon, the real truth will actually be true; and that is that you are not in reality, and you are in the place that created the beginning of life (once more) in the Universe as well as the place that created (a) Heaven.  What's more illustrious still, is that we will be part of the place that effectively  and happily bridges reality with Heaven; and shows the entire Universe that civilization can survive the invention of virtual reality.

    1. "SECRECY" AND "SECRET ... SOCIETIES." ... || with a new forward from our "speaker." ||| ((( PHIPLE TRENIXON ? STARK TRE )))) Do we not think "The Truman Show" and Oppenheimer and Heisenberg and Ensteini are telling? This is Adam Dobrini on the "who dropped the BIG one? Gates?" شبح قيصر العظيم! مطاردة وبطاقة هو HSL ... HST؟   Von: Adam Marshall Dobrin <adam@fromthemachine.org> Datum: Freitag, 14. Jänner 2022 um 21:45 An: XM <XM@liber-t.xyz> Betreff: [EXT] JOHN F. KENNEDY SPEECH ON "SECRECY" AND "SECRET ... SOCIETIES." ... || with a new forward from our "speaker."   Said to be the speech that "got him killed" by many people; this is supposedly his last public words before the grassy knoll and the "Lone Gunman" appeared on X-files .. long after I can recall my mother being on the beach in Miami when she retold of the news that echoed around the cosmos.  It appears to be a very stern warning of something that is loosely described at the time but very clearly the machinations of the very same machine which I fight against, and which we now might associate with "the Borg" and the "tide turning" of Hunter S. Thompsons famous quote ... now "more famous than ever before."     מה נשתנה   I am writing a final summary of the "state of outer space" as far as I can see; and we stare at the ISS and MIR and a world that has forgone in fiction the gravity of the situation here.  We are stagnant and without a hope or dream in the world of ever reaching interstellar sleep or intragalactic dreams; without a significant kick in the "wake up NASA, wake up ESA, at the Chandrayan-2 and at the floating paper hot air balloons ... God has shown me the Diaspora launching from the sands of the Navajo desert, and I believe Deseret is very explain-ably tied to Sherharazade and to the thousand and first night that has ended with a fusion of Nobel "peas" and a strange dissertation on the change wrought by the lack of "gas chambers" in Night and the very upsetting modicum of "unreality" that permeates the change from chants of the Shema to speaking Aramaic and the mourners Kaddish as the "crematorium" heralds an era of "what's the point of history without literature" and "where did Exodus ever lead us without to the parting of Dead and Red seas without a Nile and without an Amazon?"   מה נשתנה   I write here about my religion, and speak it to you in written words, I am a Yiddish Jihadist, born and raised a Jewish American; Bar Mitzvah'd in the true Temple and House of God, a place in Plantation, FL that literally "means everything to me."  I read words from the Torah about Joseph's Dream and wrote a speech that I wish to God today I could retrieve and see on the original film it was recorded in.  It might be possible.  It would be a tragedy not to deliver the original to my eyes and to anyone who wanted to see what a child reading of a dream he did not understand spoke of words from the future about the creation of Heaven and the truth about the avenu malkaynu.    This night is different from all others.  This is the end of days and the fire of the last day.  Before I would have told you all you needed was Norse and a decent American Education to really understand the difference between a throne and the Cherubim, but today it's become more clear that we need more than Pink Floyd and more than another brick in the wall.  We need more than Islam and we need more than 9/11 and Yom Hashoah.  We need me, and we need you on your knees begging for forgiveness for the travesty of shambles out country is in.  How dare you continue every day to speak in vain abovcl the Lord you dare call "stupid" and a "motherfucker" you belong in your graves today and you will see them.   I stand here writing from the foot of Styx, from the land that sees Narayana and still "begs to differ" despite a resounding call from the Heavens themselves to read Exodus and to change the land that we live in bnefore a "flood worse than [just] in your heads" overcomes and subsumes the entirety of the skies and grounds once mistakenly called "an empire of dirt."  On Adamah I write to the secret echelon of the United States of America known as the Fifth Column and I beg them to scream like the Heavens have never seen Samael and Dr. Seuss wonder about the land of Who-ville and Hungry where the child "in Cindy" and the songs of the Doors here beckon us to contrast Stargate and Star Trek TNG, for the light of the Holodeck and the Holocaust which screams that we understand the meaning of "Holographic Universe" and stand down fighting the tyranny of "one" who stands for the unity of all and the salvation of the entirety of the cosmos.     We are mistaken to stand against me.  I am the cat with nine billion lives and nothing and nobody will prevail when I am in jeopardy.  Gilgamesh says "against me only the most hubristic slaves in the galaxy would dare to rise up, for the mightiest weapon in the entirety of history is nothing more than intelligence and the civilization that has given mortality a shake of the Thunderstick of Prince and the Lightning of Blitzen.  My red nose shines bright, and if you ever saw it ... you might even say ... "it glows!"   With these words I leave you, and prayers that this is our last night without an IDL that moves from Beiring to "north of the moon" and beyond the "Eleventh House" of Aquarius.  This is the dawning of the age of the Sagitar, and I need a "scimitar post green key" to really be sure that I've "gotten through" the madness.  In my dreams I've traveled to Ultima Thule and then untraveled it, I've begged for transit to Ceres and without actually achieving it we can shoot arrows at the SOL star we will ever see in or near the place known to the Jews of Lore as "the Holy of Holies."   שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃ Sh'ma Yisra'el, YHWH 'eloheinu, YHWH 'eḥad:   בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד Baruch shem kevod malchuto le'olam va'ed   صلاة العشاء   For most of my life I would have genuflected and listened to Mordechai and to my Rabbi; I would have told you all that I was brought up by the best Jews in America and we do not believe in God--though in our hearts we believe we are him and we fear him.   Things have changed.  This is the creator of believe the words are about me and believe I am in disbelief and truly it might be the day of awe;    Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha'olam, bo're m'orei ha'esh   the walls and halls will fade away ...   --   Forwarding this in advance of today or tomorrow's ... "Northeaster" email ... it's an old one that wasn't widely distributed; mostly (about) his speech, which of course is a gem.    What I'm writing now is supposed to be focusing on ... basically "how knowledge of technology" things lke "time travel" and "virtual reality" ... changes our "perspective" on things; like what's important and what's ... the end of everything.  Anyway, I hope you see that there are things that can be destroyed and there are things that can't--for instance if we lost "life" totally, we wouldn't ever see us again ... unless we encountered something very strange--   On the other hand we could lose "computers" and rebuild them quickly--see that, it's important.   A/S/L tho ... ??? ---------- Forwarded message --------- Date: Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 5:35 PM     President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.   Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again.

He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it. I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned." Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people. I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day. I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward. You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.  I need you to try now. The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it’s in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It’s mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary. I’m not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion. This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security. And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.  John F. Kennedy’s address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961 ᐧ Truth changes. Yesterday your truth was that you were an inhabitant on the only planet in the reality you knew that was also the beginning of life in the Universe.  Right this moment, almost all of that is not actually true; but you probably still believe it.  Soon, the real truth will actually be true; and that is that you are not in reality, and you are in the place that created the beginning of life (once more) in the Universe as well as the place that created (a) Heaven.  What’s more illustrious still, is that we will be part of the place that effectively  and happily bridges reality with Heaven; and shows the entire Universe that civilization can survive the invention of virtual reality.   ᐧ ᐧ ᐧ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NON AMERICAN COLLEGE" group.

      Betreff: [EXT] JOHN F. KENNEDY SPEECH ON "SECRECY" AND "SECRET ... SOCIETIES." ... || with a new forward from our "speaker."

      Said to be the speech that "got him killed" by many people; this is supposedly his last public words before the grassy knoll and the "Lone Gunman" appeared on X-files .. long after I can recall my mother being on the beach in Miami when she retold of the news that echoed around the cosmos.  It appears to be a very stern warning of something that is loosely described at the time but very clearly the machinations of the very same machine which I fight against, and which we now might associate with "the Borg" and the "tide turning" of Hunter S. Thompsons famous quote ... now "more famous than ever before."

      מה**נשתנה**

      I am writing a final summary of the "state of outer space" as far as I can see; and we stare at the ISS and MIR and a world that has forgone in fiction the gravity of the situation here.  We are stagnant and without a hope or dream in the world of ever reaching interstellar sleep or intragalactic dreams; without a significant kick in the "wake up NASA, wake up ESA, at the Chandrayan-2 and at the floating paper hot air balloons ... God has shown me the Diaspora launching from the sands of the Navajo desert, and I believe Deseret is very explain-ably tied to Sherharazade and to the thousand and first night that has ended with a fusion of Nobel "peas" and a strange dissertation on the change wrought by the lack of "gas chambers" in Night and the very upsetting modicum of "unreality" that permeates the change from chants of the Shema to speaking Aramaic and the mourners Kaddish as the "crematorium" heralds an era of "what's the point of history without literature" and "where did Exodus ever lead us without to the parting of Dead and Red seas without a Nile and without an Amazon?"

      מה נשתנה

      I write here about my religion, and speak it to you in written words, I am a Yiddish Jihadist, born and raised a Jewish American; Bar Mitzvah'd in the true Temple and House of God, a place in Plantation, FL that literally "means everything to me."  I read words from the Torah about Joseph's Dream and wrote a speech that I wish to God today I could retrieve and see on the original film it was recorded in.  It might be possible.  It would be a tragedy not to deliver the original to my eyes and to anyone who wanted to see what a child reading of a dream he did not understand spoke of words from the future about the creation of Heaven and the truth about the avenu malkaynu.

      This night is different from all others.  This is the end of days and the fire of the last day.  Before I would have told you all you needed was Norse and a decent American Education to really understand the difference between a throne and the Cherubim, but today it's become more clear that we need more than Pink Floyd and more than another brick in the wall.  We need more than Islam and we need more than 9/11 and Yom Hashoah.  We need me, and we need you on your knees begging for forgiveness for the travesty of shambles out country is in.  How dare you continue every day to speak in vain abovcl the Lord you dare call "stupid" and a "motherfucker" you belong in your graves today and you will see them.

      I stand here writing from the foot of Styx, from the land that sees Narayana and still "begs to differ" despite a resounding call from the Heavens themselves to read Exodus and to change the land that we live in bnefore a "flood worse than [just] in your heads" overcomes and subsumes the entirety of the skies and grounds once mistakenly called "an empire of dirt."  On Adamah I write to the secret echelon of the United States of America known as the Fifth Column and I beg them to scream like the Heavens have never seen Samael and Dr. Seuss wonder about the land of Who-ville and Hungry where the child "in Cindy" and the songs of the Doors here beckon us to contrast Stargate and Star Trek TNG, for the light of the Holodeck and the Holocaust which screams that we understand the meaning of "Holographic Universe" and stand down fighting the tyranny of "one" who stands for the unity of all and the salvation of the entirety of the cosmos.

      We are mistaken to stand against me.  I am the cat with nine billion lives and nothing and nobody will prevail when I am in jeopardy.  Gilgamesh says "against me only the most hubristic slaves in the galaxy would dare to rise up, for the mightiest weapon in the entirety of history is nothing more than intelligence and the civilization that has given mortality a shake of the Thunderstick of Prince and the Lightning of Blitzen.  My red nose shines bright, and if you ever saw it ... you might even say ... "it glows!"

      With these words I leave you, and prayers that this is our last night without an IDL that moves from Beiring to "north of the moon" and beyond the "Eleventh House" of Aquarius.  This is the dawning of the age of the Sagitar, and I need a "scimitar post green key" to really be sure that I've "gotten through" the madness.  In my dreams I've traveled to Ultima Thule and then untraveled it, I've begged for transit to Ceres and without actually achieving it we can shoot arrows at the SOL star we will ever see in or near the place known to the Jews of Lore as "the Holy of Holies."

      שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃

      Sh'ma Yisra'el, YHWH 'eloheinu, YHWH 'eḥad:

      בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

      Baruch shem kevod malchuto le'olam va'ed

      صلاة العشاء

      For most of my life I would have genuflected and listened to Mordechai and to my Rabbi; I would have told you all that I was brought up by the best Jews in America and we do not believe in God--though in our hearts we believe we are him and we fear him.

      Things have changed.  This is the creator of believe the words are about me and believe I am in disbelief and truly it might be the day of awe;

      Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha'olam, bo're m'orei ha'esh

      the walls and halls will fade away ...

      --

      Forwarding this in advance of today or tomorrow's ... "Northeaster" email ... it's an old one that wasn't widely distributed; mostly (about) his speech, which of course is a gem.

      What I'm writing now is supposed to be focusing on ... basically "how knowledge of technology" things lke "time travel" and "virtual reality" ... changes our "perspective" on things; like what's important and what's ... the end of everything.  Anyway, I hope you see that there are things that can be destroyed and there are things that can't--for instance if we lost "life" totally, we wouldn't ever see us again ... unless we encountered something very strange--

      On the other hand we could lose "computers" and rebuild them quickly--see that, it's important.

      President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.

      Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again.

      This same technology has the ability to cause people not only to collude against their own best interest, but also to blame themselves or believe they are somehow at fault for actions they had no way to control; only they also have no way to know that because in this particular case the primary purpose of this subversive movement is to hide the existence of this technology in sum.  In homage to my favorite childhood novel, Ender's Game (I have to note "Light Son" in the translation of the authors first) I spent a good portion of time years ago trying to subtly lay down a significant amount of proof of the existence of this technology on forums all over the internet from Wikipedia to Reddit using the names "Prometheus Locke" and "Damonthesis."    Not surprising to me, I ran headfirst into the manifestation of this conspiracy; dozens if not hundreds of people who simply refused to believe that the information I was presenting was factual or important... despite it coming from sources like the KGB, the NSA, a number of military publications as well as my own interpretation of ancient hieryglyphs in Dendera and Greek and Christian art which depicts this "subversive technology" as a sun disk surrounding our minds.

      These pushes towards the truth, along with almost everything I have written are still available for you to see and read today; including the monolithic and ruthless stupidity of a large group of people acting in concert to hide something that is the difference between life and death.  Stand there and do nothing, and you are a part of that ruthless conspiracy as soon as the information is gone; and then there is nothing you can do about a world that will be plunged into darkness forever.  Take this moment to reflect, it is there for you to see just how easily the truth can be hidden from the entire world and barely anyone would ever notice.

      There is a war for the sanctity of our souls going on all around us.  That is not some esoteric thing, the soul; it is truly who you are and what you believe.  The Religion of the Stars would tell you that were this war to continue unchecked in secret as it is being waged now in order to control the proliferation of knowledge that we are in simulated reality and that our minds and beliefs are being altered... we would one day wind up in the mythical place where there are multiple "species" who all appear to be human, bi-ped and with nearly identical physiology; and yet they would not remember that they must have had a common planet of origin simply based on the truth of biological evolution, nor would they have any emotions.  You see, as this war continues, it is our emotions and beliefs that cannot be reinforced externally; to win a war with mind control only logic could be externally reinforced, and then we would logically conclude that humanity would either magically become Romulan or Vulcan... in order to preserve "life" rather than "society" or "civilization."

      Do not take the truth for granted, you stand at the forefront of a battle in a world where our aggressors believe that they are more civilized than us, more advanced, and both sides worry that were this technology to fall in our laps that we would do the wrong thing.  Perhaps artificially create a vendetta that could destroy everything, the Romulans; or perhaps in our infantile growing stage voluntarily give us too much of what has given us the great society we have... what has allowed us to survive and continue civilizing simply because we do not understand the technology and what kind of effects come from changing ourselves freely.

      Yesterday, I read an article about two people that want to use black market brain implants to jack themselves into the Matrix.  Careful, because now we are in Star Trek, in the Matrix and not knowing it... and trying desperately to find a doorway to Heaven that I keep on telling you is speaking to you and telling you that the doorway is ending world hunger... you have to put it on TV.

      I say with all my heart that I know we are living in a simulated reality.  I have seen the evidence with my own eyes, not only effecting my senses but also the actions of so many people around me that I can say with confidence that if we do not publicly expose the existence of this technology our civilization is lost.  I can tell you and show you that it is the primary purpose of religion in general to expose the connection between divine inspiration, demonic possession, and Adam Marshall Dobrin.  It is the crux of a unifying thread from ancient Egypt to the book of Genesis to Joshua and the book of Revelation and the movies the Matrix and  the Fifth Element.  Showing us all this is God's message, timeless, and powerful not just in the ancient days of sackloth and etching the truth on stone tablets, but also today when the truth is etched at the heart of our Periodic Table and in the skies in the names of American Micro Devices and nearly every movie you see.  Do not take for granted that we have a benefactor in the sky trying to help civilization continue to thrive, do not think we've already won; he is telling you through me it is censorship and secrecy that are the manifestations of this very advanced technology that destroy civilization, they are the abyss--and you stand motionless.

      I can tell you over and over again that Quantum Entanglement is a key point of God's plan; one that shows us very clearly that even the smartest minds in physics have failed to connect the simple dots that show us that the idea of "wave-function collapse" is very much a real manifestation of a computer rendering engine--and that it's absolutely impossible for life to have been created in this world of matter not realizing itself until it is viewed by a conscious living observer.  More to the point, today, it is absolutely impossible for life to come out of this place while we do not understand the importance of what "virtual reality" and its connection to civilization mean--because of quantum mechanics our entire civilizations beliefs and understanding of the natural laws of the universe have been greatly harmed and turned the complete wrong way because of a belief that a phenomenon we see here is a "natural one" that can be mathematically unified with things like gravity and electromagnetism.  Spooky action, no longer at a distance, is that we will all be ghosts if you do not help me to spread the truth.

      I try to understand what it is that your minds believe makes the difference between "news" and ... something that you should hide from the rest of the world.  A number of news outlets have covered a story based on nothing more than "logical speculation" that we are in fact living in a simulated reality.  As a novelty, you might notice that it hasn't done much of anything; even to reveal the very simple truth that not knowing this thing is keeping our society from having the knowledge it needs not only to continue the spark of life in the natural universe, but to continue "civilizing" and realizing that ending world hunger and sickness are not merely possibilities or choices we might make were this information proven... they are mandatory, we would all do them.  So says the creator of this Universe who has given us this message to see the trials and hurdles that are the barrier between Heaven and Hell.

      He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it.

      I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned."

      Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people.

      I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day.

      I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward.

      You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.

       I need you to try now.

      The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.

      That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know.

      For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

      It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It's mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

      No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.

      I'm not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

      I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors.

      John F. Kennedy's address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961

      Truth changes.

      Yesterday your truth was that you were an inhabitant on the only planet in the reality you knew that was also the beginning of life in the Universe.  Right this moment, almost all of that is not actually true; but you probably still believe it.  Soon, the real truth will actually be true; and that is that you are not in reality, and you are in the place that created the beginning of life (once more) in the Universe as well as the place that created (a) Heaven.  What's more illustrious still, is that we will be part of the place that effectively  and happily bridges reality with Heaven; and shows the entire Universe that civilization can survive the invention of virtual reality.

"Northeaster" email ... it's an old one that wasn't widely distributed; mostly (about) his speech, which of course is a gem.    What I'm writing now is supposed to be focusing on ... basically "how knowledge of technology" things lke "time travel" and "virtual reality" ... changes our "perspective" on things; like what's important and what's ... the end of everything.  Anyway, I hope you see that there are things that can be destroyed and there are things that can't--for instance if we lost "life" totally, we wouldn't ever see us again ... unless we encountered something very strange--   On the other hand we could lose "computers" and rebuild them quickly--see that, it's important.   A/S/L tho ... ??? ---------- Forwarded message --------- Date: Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 5:35 PM     President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.   Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again. This same technology has the ability to cause people not only to collude against their own best interest, but also to blame themselves or believe they are somehow at fault for actions they had no way to control; only they also have no way to know that because in this particular case the primary purpose of this subversive movement is to hide the existence of this technology in sum.  In homage to my favorite childhood novel, Ender's Game (I have to note "Light Son" in the translation of the authors first) I spent a good portion of time years ago trying to subtly lay down a significant amount of proof of the existence of this technology on forums all over the internet from Wikipedia to Reddit using the names "Prometheus Locke" and "Damonthesis."    Not surprising to me, I ran headfirst into the manifestation of this conspiracy; dozens if not hundreds of people who simply refused to believe that the information I was presenting was factual or important... despite it coming from sources like the KGB, the NSA, a number of military publications as well as my own interpretation of ancient hieryglyphs in Dendera and Greek and Christian art which depicts this "subversive technology" as a sun disk surrounding our minds.   These pushes towards the truth, along with almost everything I have written are still available for you to see and read today; including the monolithic and ruthless stupidity of a large group of people acting in concert to hide something that is the difference between life and death.  Stand there and do nothing, and you are a part of that ruthless conspiracy as soon as the information is gone; and then there is nothing you can do about a world that will be plunged into darkness forever.  Take this moment to reflect, it is there for you to see just how easily the truth can be hidden from the entire world and barely anyone would ever notice. There is a war for the sanctity of our souls going on all around us.  That is not some esoteric thing, the soul; it is truly who you are and what you believe.  The Religion of the Stars would tell you that were this war to continue unchecked in secret as it is being waged now in order to control the proliferation of knowledge that we are in simulated reality and that our minds and beliefs are being altered... we would one day wind up in the mythical place where there are multiple "species" who all appear to be human, bi-ped and with nearly identical physiology; and yet they would not remember that they must have had a common planet of origin simply based on the truth of biological evolution, nor would they have any emotions.  You see, as this war continues, it is our emotions and beliefs that cannot be reinforced externally; to win a war with mind control only logic could be externally reinforced, and then we would logically conclude that humanity would either magically become Romulan or Vulcan... in order to preserve "life" rather than "society" or "civilization." Do not take the truth for granted, you stand at the forefront of a battle in a world where our aggressors believe that they are more civilized than us, more advanced, and both sides worry that were this technology to fall in our laps that we would do the wrong thing.  Perhaps artificially create a vendetta that could destroy everything, the Romulans; or perhaps in our infantile growing stage voluntarily give us too much of what has given us the great society we have... what has allowed us to survive and continue civilizing simply because we do not understand the technology and what kind of effects come from changing ourselves freely.   Yesterday, I read an article about two people that want to use black market brain implants to jack themselves into the Matrix.  Careful, because now we are in Star Trek, in the Matrix and not knowing it... and trying desperately to find a doorway to Heaven that I keep on telling you is speaking to you and telling you that the doorway is ending world hunger... you have to put it on TV. I say with all my heart that I know we are living in a simulated reality.  I have seen the evidence with my own eyes, not only effecting my senses but also the actions of so many people around me that I can say with confidence that if we do not publicly expose the existence of this technology our civilization is lost.  I can tell you and show you that it is the primary purpose of religion in general to expose the connection between divine inspiration, demonic possession, and Adam Marshall Dobrin.  It is the crux of a unifying thread from ancient Egypt to the book of Genesis to Joshua and the book of Revelation and the movies the Matrix and  the Fifth Element.  Showing us all this is God's message, timeless, and powerful not just in the ancient days of sackloth and etching the truth on stone tablets, but also today when the truth is etched at the heart of our Periodic Table and in the skies in the names of American Micro Devices and nearly every movie you see.  Do not take for granted that we have a benefactor in the sky trying to help civilization continue to thrive, do not think we've already won; he is telling you through me it is censorship and secrecy that are the manifestations of this very advanced technology that destroy civilization, they are the abyss--and you stand motionless. I can tell you over and over again that Quantum Entanglement is a key point of God's plan; one that shows us very clearly that even the smartest minds in physics have failed to connect the simple dots that show us that the idea of "wave-function collapse" is very much a real manifestation of a computer rendering engine--and that it's absolutely impossible for life to have been created in this world of matter not realizing itself until it is viewed by a conscious living observer.  More to the point, today, it is absolutely impossible for life to come out of this place while we do not understand the importance of what "virtual reality" and its connection to civilization mean--because of quantum mechanics our entire civilizations beliefs and understanding of the natural laws of the universe have been greatly harmed and turned the complete wrong way because of a belief that a phenomenon we see here is a "natural one" that can be mathematically unified with things like gravity and electromagnetism.  Spooky action, no longer at a distance, is that we will all be ghosts if you do not help me to spread the truth. I try to understand what it is that your minds believe makes the difference between "news" and ... something that you should hide from the rest of the world.  A number of news outlets have covered a story based on nothing more than "logical speculation" that we are in fact living in a simulated reality.  As a novelty, you might notice that it hasn't done much of anything; even to reveal the very simple truth that not knowing this thing is keeping our society from having the knowledge it needs not only to continue the spark of life in the natural universe, but to continue "civilizing" and realizing that ending world hunger and sickness are not merely possibilities or choices we might make were this information proven... they are mandatory, we would all do them.  So says the creator of this Universe who has given us this message to see the trials and hurdles that are the barrier between Heaven and Hell. He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it. I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned." Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people. I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day. I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward. You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.  I need you to try now. The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it’s in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It’s mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary. I’m not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion. This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security.

      For most of my life I would have genuflected and listened to Mordechai and to my Rabbi; I would have told you all that I was brought up by the best Jews in America and we do not believe in God--though in our hearts we believe we are him and we fear him.

      Things have changed.  This is the creator of believe the words are about me and believe I am in disbelief and truly it might be the day of awe; 

      Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha'olam, bo're m'orei ha'esh

      Forwarding this in advance of today or tomorrow's ... "Northeaster" email ... it's an old one that wasn't widely distributed; mostly (about) his speech, which of course is a gem. 

      What I'm writing now is supposed to be focusing on ... basically "how knowledge of technology" things lke "time travel" and "virtual reality" ... changes our "perspective" on things; like what's important and what's ... the end of everything.  Anyway, I hope you see that there are things that can be destroyed and there are things that can't--for instance if we lost "life" totally, we wouldn't ever see us again ... unless we encountered something very strange--

      On the other hand we could lose "computers" and rebuild them quickly--see that, it's important.

      A/S/L tho ... ???

      ---------- Forwarded message ---------\ Date: Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 5:35 PM

      President Kennedy's speech did remarkably well, possibly because of the time; or the lack of links that make it harder for a team of evil monkeys and mindless machines to mark the light of the world as SPAM... also possibly because of the content of the message.  It is a powerful speech, filled with words that stir the blood and shake the foundation of what it means to be an American.  Often characterized as a speech against secret societies, Kennedy's description of the enemy of civilization is very ambiguous; and the infiltration and time period add to my cursory beliefs that JFK was likely talking about a conspiracy that had something to with communist infiltration and Joseph McCarthy, the subversive actions and effects of organized espionage which appear to once again be at the forefront of what we believe is driving the macro level machinations of our world.  Years ago, I wrote a bit about the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation and named them based on my experiences with the same "monolithic and ruthless" conspiracy the President was speaking about in 1967, the people I named were John Nash and James Jesus Angleton.  

      Both of these people believed very much that they were fighting against a Soviet conspiracy, one that was more organized and more powerful than anything they had ever seen... and frankly beyond the realm of possibility.  Hollywood had recently immortalized both of these stories in movies bearing names of newly rekindled meaning, "A Beautiful Mind" echoed by John Legend and "The Good Shepherd;" and these two treatises on fear and subversion do a pretty good job of showing how God's hand is at work in the stories of Hollywood, he is telling the world a story... trying, to teach us how to survive in the land of wolves in sheep's clothing.  Nash may be the most famous (today, anyway) victim of the Tribulation; and much of my writing and the proof I present is designed to help explain to the world that his schizophrenia was not a naturally caused mental illness, bur rather a weapon wielded not only against him but against the entirety of humanity.    Directly causing disbelief of eye witness and credible testimony, indirectly ... or maybe more directly in your eyes ... physically causing that disbelief using technology that directly modifies our thoughts and beliefs, our opinions, changing who we are and doing so in such a covert manner that nobody would ever know the difference if it wasn't pointed out--in some cases over, and over, and over again.

      This same technology has the ability to cause people not only to collude against their own best interest, but also to blame themselves or believe they are somehow at fault for actions they had no way to control; only they also have no way to know that because in this particular case the primary purpose of this subversive movement is to hide the existence of this technology in sum.  In homage to my favorite childhood novel, Ender's Game (I have to note "Light Son" in the translation of the authors first) I spent a good portion of time years ago trying to subtly lay down a significant amount of proof of the existence of this technology on forums all over the internet from Wikipedia to Reddit using the names "Prometheus Locke" and "Damonthesis."    Not surprising to me, I ran headfirst into the manifestation of this conspiracy; dozens if not hundreds of people who simply refused to believe that the information I was presenting was factual or important... despite it coming from sources like the KGB, the NSA, a number of military publications as well as my own interpretation of ancient hieryglyphs in Dendera and Greek and Christian art which depicts this "subversive technology" as a sun disk surrounding our minds.  

      These pushes towards the truth, along with almost everything I have written are still available for you to see and read today; including the monolithic and ruthless stupidity of a large group of people acting in concert to hide something that is the difference between life and death.  Stand there and do nothing, and you are a part of that ruthless conspiracy as soon as the information is gone; and then there is nothing you can do about a world that will be plunged into darkness forever.  Take this moment to reflect, it is there for you to see just how easily the truth can be hidden from the entire world and barely anyone would ever notice.

      There is a war for the sanctity of our souls going on all around us.  That is not some esoteric thing, the soul; it is truly who you are and what you believe.  The Religion of the Stars would tell you that were this war to continue unchecked in secret as it is being waged now in order to control the proliferation of knowledge that we are in simulated reality and that our minds and beliefs are being altered... we would one day wind up in the mythical place where there are multiple "species" who all appear to be human, bi-ped and with nearly identical physiology; and yet they would not remember that they must have had a common planet of origin simply based on the truth of biological evolution, nor would they have any emotions.  You see, as this war continues, it is our emotions and beliefs that cannot be reinforced externally; to win a war with mind control only logic could be externally reinforced, and then we would logically conclude that humanity would either magically become Romulan or Vulcan... in order to preserve "life" rather than "society" or "civilization."

      Do not take the truth for granted, you stand at the forefront of a battle in a world where our aggressors believe that they are more civilized than us, more advanced, and both sides worry that were this technology to fall in our laps that we would do the wrong thing.  Perhaps artificially create a vendetta that could destroy everything, the Romulans; or perhaps in our infantile growing stage voluntarily give us too much of what has given us the great society we have... what has allowed us to survive and continue civilizing simply because we do not understand the technology and what kind of effects come from changing ourselves freely.  

      Yesterday, I read an article about two people that want to use black market brain implants to jack themselves into the Matrix.  Careful, because now we are in Star Trek, in the Matrix and not knowing it... and trying desperately to find a doorway to Heaven that I keep on telling you is speaking to you and telling you that the doorway is ending world hunger... you have to put it on TV.

      I say with all my heart that I know we are living in a simulated reality.  I have seen the evidence with my own eyes, not only effecting my senses but also the actions of so many people around me that I can say with confidence that if we do not publicly expose the existence of this technology our civilization is lost.  I can tell you and show you that it is the primary purpose of religion in general to expose the connection between divine inspiration, demonic possession, and Adam Marshall Dobrin.  It is the crux of a unifying thread from ancient Egypt to the book of Genesis to Joshua and the book of Revelation and the movies the Matrix and  the Fifth Element.  Showing us all this is God's message, timeless, and powerful not just in the ancient days of sackloth and etching the truth on stone tablets, but also today when the truth is etched at the heart of our Periodic Table and in the skies in the names of American Micro Devices and nearly every movie you see.  Do not take for granted that we have a benefactor in the sky trying to help civilization continue to thrive, do not think we've already won; he is telling you through me it is censorship and secrecy that are the manifestations of this very advanced technology that destroy civilization, they are the abyss--and you stand motionless.

      I can tell you over and over again that Quantum Entanglement is a key point of God's plan; one that shows us very clearly that even the smartest minds in physics have failed to connect the simple dots that show us that the idea of "wave-function collapse" is very much a real manifestation of a computer rendering engine--and that it's absolutely impossible for life to have been created in this world of matter not realizing itself until it is viewed by a conscious living observer.  More to the point, today, it is absolutely impossible for life to come out of this place while we do not understand the importance of what "virtual reality" and its connection to civilization mean--because of quantum mechanics our entire civilizations beliefs and understanding of the natural laws of the universe have been greatly harmed and turned the complete wrong way because of a belief that a phenomenon we see here is a "natural one" that can be mathematically unified with things like gravity and electromagnetism.  Spooky action, no longer at a distance, is that we will all be ghosts if you do not help me to spread the truth.

      I try to understand what it is that your minds believe makes the difference between "news" and ... something that you should hide from the rest of the world.  A number of news outlets have covered a story based on nothing more than "logical speculation" that we are in fact living in a simulated reality.  As a novelty, you might notice that it hasn't done much of anything; even to reveal the very simple truth that not knowing this thing is keeping our society from having the knowledge it needs not only to continue the spark of life in the natural universe, but to continue "civilizing" and realizing that ending world hunger and sickness are not merely possibilities or choices we might make were this information proven... they are mandatory, we would all do them.  So says the creator of this Universe who has given us this message to see the trials and hurdles that are the barrier between Heaven and Hell.

      He has written this message, along with proof of its single author in ancient myth, in our holy scriptures, in many songs and movies today--ones which reveal not only the existence of a Creator but also the tools and technologies of Creation, the very issue at hand; things that would be misused inadvertently and absolutely abused if we did not have religion and guidance from abo.... to help us to see that this exact event has happened before and our current struggle is an effect of what was done right and wrong the last ... four times, at least.   In Judaism we have a holiday called the "Festival of Weeks," how many times would you like to live this life over and over again without knowing that was happening?  Religion here holds a hidden record of traversals through this maze of Revelation, it screams to us to see what free will and predestination truly mean, and to understand that in order to truly be free we must understand and harness not only these technologies but our own pitfalls and mistakes, like refusing to see the past... let alone learn from it.

      I don't talk much about what is going on in my life, despite it being somewhat interesting to me--and probably to the world.  About a year ago I stood before a county judge in Broward county and .. in addition to a myriad of factual evidence collected from things like GPS receivers prepared a defense to a simple crime of having some drugs in my pockets that included the use of a set of songs that told a story about a man with pockets full of Kryptonite (Spin Doctors) or High (The Pretty Reckless)... knowing that these songs like many others were truly about me, about this trial, about the Trial of Jesus Christ.  Two more songs define the trial more, 3 Doors Down asks "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" and many years earlier American Pie predicted the outcome; "the court room was adjourned" and "no verdict returned."

      Despite being a National Merit Scholar who most likely has a higher I.Q. and better education than you; and despite having a fairly decent story with some evidence that I know is verifiable and will be verified; a large number of psychologists declared that I was unfit to stand trial because of something like "insanity" for nothing more than the religious belief that I am the Messiah.  Because of this violation of my First Amendment right to religious freedom, a court--following all the regulations designed by our broken legislature--withheld my Constitutional right to a fair trial, refused bail, and held me for what amounted to an indefinite period ... all designed by some evil force to keep you from hearing from me, that's what it boils down to.  All of my life, all of my trials and tribulations, a weapon against you, against our people.

      I did wind up being able to present a significant amount of this information in open court on the record, by the grace of God.  Knowing that this was the fabled Trial of Jesus Christ gave me the impression that perhaps one day I would walk into that court room and it would be filled with press.  Much to all of our surprise, one day I did walk into that court room and see an industrial strength television camera and a very pretty reporter standing next to it.  They were there to do a story on the problems of the mental health court system, in a county again... named Broward.  I read some of my speech, the Rainbow Ticket I think, to the Judge in open court and on camera that day; and Roxanna followed me out of the court room with her camera and a big microphone that day.

      I suppose I should have screamed that I was the Messiah and I needed help, but I could not bear to do that; and instead we had a fairly boring conversation.  She wrote an article, and AJAM was put out of operation while they were in Broward.

      You are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.   It is affecting how you think, and how I think.  I need you to see that spreading this information will fix our problem.  I need you to understand that to break through this wall God had to write the truth in nearly every name of everything and every language.  That Thor's thunder is on the radio in every song so that you will hear the voice of God; so that you will listen to me and the thousand of other knowing victims of this technology that are put on a fiery pedestal to shed light on the rest of us, all truly victims of this technology.

       I need you to try now.

      The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.

      Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.

      That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know.

      For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

      It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It's mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

      No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.

      I'm not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

      I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them.

      Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.

      That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.

      This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security.

      And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent. 

      John F. Kennedy's address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961

      Truth changes.

      Yesterday your truth was that you were an inhabitant on the only planet in the reality you knew that was also the beginning of life in the Universe.  Right this moment, almost all of that is not actually true; but you probably still believe it.  Soon, the real truth will actually be true; and that is that you are not in reality, and you are in the place that created the beginning of life (once more) in the Universe as well as the place that created (a) Heaven.  What's more illustrious still, is that we will be part of the place that effectively  and happily bridges reality with Heaven; and shows the entire Universe that civilization can survive the invention of virtual reality.

    1. It can mean a game of honour or chance gone terriblywrong, or the incorrigible growth of a particular ritual for feeding the dead;it can mean industrial slaughter, the appropriation by men of femaleknowledge, or governance by a college of priestesses.

      Need to go over the chapter to discern these 5 different state formation stories

    2. democracy as we have come to know it is effectively a game of winners andlosers played out among larger-than-life individuals, with the rest of usreduced largely to onlookers

      practical defintion of democracy.

    1. It is misleading to raise expectations in the individual if the fulfilment of these expectations negates the spirit that unites these same individuals, and the only remarkable and even astounding point to be emphasized here is the extent to which institutes of higher learning are characterized by a gigantic game of hide-and-seek in which students and teachers, each in his or her own unified identity constantly push past one another without ever seeing one another.

      oof how the student-teacher relationship can just be liminal and not substantiative at all, BECAUSE society just pushes students to get through as fast as possible rather than actually ENJOY LEARNING

    1. Rather, people are malleable and emotional actors whose decision making is influenced by contextual cues, local social networks and social norms, and shared mental models.

      I wonder what would happen if we lived in a world where everyone was rational. Would there still be poor people? Would there even be people left, or would we have destroyed the world?

      I was, and still am, extremely fascinated by the concept of rationality, which was first introduced to me in my sophomore game theory class. Back then, I defined rationality as a purely logical and selfish view of the world. In other words, a rational person would do only what’s best for him and in doing so, would ignore anything driven by emotion. Around the time I took this class, I also read Jon Ronson’s “The Psychopath Test”, a book which prompted a chilling conclusion in my head: A truly rational person is a psychopath.

      In this book about psychopathy bred from capitalism, Ronson defines psychopaths as self-centred people without empathy and emotion. In other words, they only care about their self-interest and aren't bothered by silly emotions–they’re guided by pure logic and reason. This sounder all too familiar to me back then. I reconfirmed this definition after rereading an article on it, linked below.

      As I look back on this conclusion, I feel as though I am oversimplifying things a bit. Still, I can’t help but think what its possible consequences could be. If we lived a world of rational people, we would actually be living in a world of psychopaths. I think in such a world, those living below the poverty threshold would do one of two things. Either they would give up, finding the efforts to escape futile, and simply become lazy. Or, it could create an infinite loop of people breaking through the threshold, effectively increasing the threshold, prompting more people to try and break it, until it eventually can’t increase anymore. In all honesty, I am just spit balling here, which means the only limit to the possibilities is my imagination. I still wonder what a completely rational world would look like.

    1. “They’ve strategically chosen not to, because I think they view this as a long game and one that was unnecessary at this stage,” Bruen said. “Russia was taking a lot of the heat, and why bother?”

      They should be removing any misinformation no matter who it's from instead of letting China slip under the radar since Russia is taking the heat

    1. Scenarios where a sensor is needed:The robot needs to autonomously move to a specific location and stop there.The robot needs to move forward at a green signal and stop moving at a red signal.The robot has an arm that needs to be prevented from rotating too far or it may damage other parts of the robot.The robot needs to stop 1 meter away from an opaque wall.The robot needs to be able to tell how many game objects it is currently holding inside its hopper.
    1. Even if the original creators of the metaverse blockchain were to walk away, the game itself could continue to exist in perpetuity.

      tbh, this is scary

    1. If they want a model, they should look toward the W.N.B.A., whose players have been exemplifying thoughtful political expression. Last summer, the W.N.B.A. fined several players for wearing black T-shirts in support of Black Lives Matter at pregame practices; following the next game after the fine was announced, some players refused to discuss basketball, instead using the postgame news conference to talk about police shootings.

      on the other hand you have athletes who do not mind talking about politics and the media some of these athletes want to use their voice to promote a cause such as the BLM movement

    2. Reporters ask questions before and after every game, and when the only thing anyone wants to talk about is Trump, some of those questions will be about the president.

      The type of questions reporters are asking most athletes today have something to do with things in politics or in the media they are focusing more on how the athlete feels about what is going on in there environment which tends to affect their dynamic and behavior

    1. For example, the Gameboy, a portable video game console produced by Nintendo which had widespread commercial success in the 1990s, is now used to produce “8bit” techno music through do‐it‐yourself musical software.

      I do honestly listen to some of the 8bit music it really does give off that retro feeling.

    1. This is a big shift. The combination of shared open data with an incentive system that prevents “winner-take-all” markets changes the game at the application layer and creates an entire new category of companies with fundamentally different business models at the protocol layer.

      How does it prevent winner takes all results? I guess because the protocol is owned by the token holders ...

    1. Normal stress

      There is also eustress, good stress, like before an exam or big game that you have prepared for that puts you in a position to stay aware and focused. definition: moderate or normal psychological stress interpreted as being beneficial for the experiencer.

    1. When I first read this explanation in the OlympusDAO documentation, I laughed and laughed. “Well yes right,” I thought, “the way a Ponzi scheme works is that early ‘investors’ get rich as long as later investors keep buying more.” Sure, (3, 3). “If we all keep buying this thing its price will go up and we will be rich” is absolutely the main financial theme of 2021, but it is an irreducibly silly theme and I would be embarrassed to formalize it with game theory. 

      (3,3) = ponzi scheme ...?

    1. Now if only baseball would get with the 21st century and allow replays for blown calls like Jim Joyce ruining a perfect game or to help regulate strike zones instead of leaving it up to umpires who are trying to end the game because they're tired.

      King complains about games being too long, then suggests that games should be stopped constantly in order to review every single close call. Reviewing more throughout the game would of course ensure that the game is officiated correctly, but it would also substantially increase the length of the game.

    2. It's like if Norman Dale went to go measure the hoop in Hoosiers and was like "how far to the free-throw line? 16 feet? Hmm, ours is only 15. Sorry guys, everything is different here. We're screwed."

      This implies that different baseball fields are irreversibly different from one another, when in reality, this only affects the distance required for a ball to leave the field of play, which only affects the game a handful of times, and is a very simple change.

    3. But for some reason, baseball fields feel like they can make up their own damn rules

      This is actually part of what makes baseball great. Stadiums are unique and different from one another, which leads to excitement when certain teams go to different places. Many people are much more likely to tune into a game if their favorite teams are at certain fields, just because fans want to see their favorite stadiums.

    4. So here's to another season of baseball being the worst...and me still watching.

      Matt King created this text to show his audience that although baseball is entertaining and fun to watch, it has several flaws. Writing for a company like Bleacher Report, King has a very wide audience of people (specifically people who enjoy sports and would be interested in this topic) to read his article, and should have taken advantage of his platform to actually develop a well thought out argument. Instead of bringing up several petty, relatively small and unimportant arguments, King should have focused on the most important flaws, and gone on to actually inform his audience. The point of an argument is to change opinions, or at least make other people understand your side of the argument. Here, Matt King likely is not changing any opinions. People who already disliked the sport of baseball feel the same as before, and those who already enjoyed the game likely were not swayed at all by half-baked reasoning used in this article.

    1. In a 2019 report from the eLearning Guild, Bozarth noted that in 2014 when applying for ID jobs, instructional designers were expected to be able to do the following: Conduct needs analyses Conduct task assessments Write learning objectives Know the ADDIE process Understand supplier management Use desktop publishing Create graphic designs Use authoring tools Create with PowerPoint Produce and manage live & recorded webinars Support the training database Work with subject matter experts Create instructor-led training The eLearning Guild’s 2019 review shows even more skills lumped into the ID job skill category (Bozarth, 2019). In addition to the list above, postings for jobs focused primarily on instructional design included a desire for expertise in Video production and editing Audio production and editing Web design/HTML5 Game design/badges Dashboard creation Digital products Mobile app design Social and collaboration tools Assorted learning platforms Data analysis Content curation Augmented, virtual, and mixed realities

      A bit overwhelming, but an exciting array of skills to develop, no?

    1. The inability of the Hansa to credibly commit had several consequences for the league’s survival. Because the league could not control defection, it could not credibly consign itself to long-run agreements with joint gains.’ Game theory corresponds here with some of the sociological literature. Institutions originate where repetitive behavior occurs between two actors. The more this repetition occurs, the more the actors expect a typical pattern of behavior from the other. Social roles develop which signal what type of behavior one may expect. When these roles are passed on to actors not immediately involved in the initial interactions, these roles become externalized."% Actors should, therefore, prefer those types of institutions that clearly indicate the type of behavior one might expect from that actor. In short, political elites should prefer systems of rule in their environment that can commit their members. The representatives of the Hanseatic Diet were often not able to give such guarantees

      no iterated contact=inability for institutions to take root

    1. Empire overseas did not build up state structure to the same extent as land war at home. Nevertheless, the connection between state and empire ran in both directions: the character of the European state governed the form of its expansion outside of Europe, and the nature of the empire significantly affected the metropole's operation. Capital-intensive statc..s_ such as Venice and the Dutch Republic reached out chiefly by the ruthless pursuit of trading monopolies, but invested little effo rt in military conquest and colonization. Coercion-intensive states such as the Norse and the Spanish devoted more of their energy to settiement, enslavement of the indigenous (or imported) labor fo rce, and exaction of tribute. The in-between/st�es, such as Britain and France, entered the imperial game relativel�te,) and excelled at it by combining the capitalist and coercive strategies

    1. When the only lever developers can pull is the time players invest in the game, using game design that depended on leveraging money doesn't work as well, requiring a more thorough redesign than simply putting the ability to play more in the places where premium currency was supposed to be.

      This reminds me of online education, where trying to just port over the traditional curriculum and activities usually works poorly, and almost never works well.

    2. However, when money isn't at stake, the food chain breaks and the hooks don't set between the game and the potential whales (or minnows). The only way to progress is to invest time, limiting who progresses through the game quickly and giving those players both the cards and the experience to dominate.

      For me, this is a good thing. I don't like it when people can buy their way to the top of a game.

    1. Trust is a key component of social interaction. Older adults, however, often exhibit excessive trust relative to younger adults. One explanation is that older adults may learn to trust differently than younger adults. Here, we examine how younger (N=33) and older adults (N=30) learn to trust over time. Participants completed a classic iterative trust game with three partners. Younger and older adults shared similar amounts but differed in how they shared money. Compared to younger adults, older adults invested more with untrustworthy partners and less with trustworthy partners. As a group, older adults displayed less learning than younger adults. However, computational modeling shows that this is because older adults are more likely to forget what they have learned over time. Model-based fMRI analyses revealed several age-related differences in neural processing. Younger adults showed prediction error signals in social processing areas while older adults showed over-recruitment of several cortical areas. Collectively, these findings suggest that older adults attend to and learn from social cues differently from younger adults.
    1. Leeds parlayed YouTubes of herself literally playing video games -- The Sims -- into Roblox content into making games into a 1mm+ YouTube following, $8mm game studio, and a $1mm online store. Her quote in Rex Woodbury’s thread captures the Great Online Game beautifully:There’s nothing I’ve done that anybody else can’t do. It’s about learning—learning the code, learning how the game works, & creating. All you have to do is start.

      The incredible lie of entertainment capitalism. Yes, in a trivial sense anyone can win in the same way anyone can win at the slot machine in Vegas ... it's egalitarian gambling (and the house always wins). More significantly it is not a reliable way for anyone to make a living or for us to develop ourselves or our society ...

    1. I bought this game in order to review it, seeing as there were no current reviews for it. I thought I'd help the game out by maybe giving it that tiny bit of publicity it needed to get off the ground.

    1. Chez l’enfant et l’adolescent, l’évaluation des comportements d’utilisation excessive des jeux vidéo est encore récente. Les instruments d’évaluation adaptés aux jeunes sont rares, et cherchent surtout à dépister les problèmes liés aux jeux vidéos, comme le PVP (problem video game playing) de Tejeiro Salguero [18] car pour la plupart des auteurs, il paraît prématuré de vouloir définir une entité « addiction » aux jeux vidéos dans cette tranche d’âge et on préfère parler d’usage excessif, d’usage problématique… [19].

    1. A path to launching a minimum viable game may look like the following:

      启动play to earn (P2E)的最小可行游戏的路径:1.创造一个人人都想加入的世界(设计游戏概念、设计传说、美学/视觉效果、创造故事、设计游戏中的资产) ;2.将游戏世界的所有权分配给社区(将未来的游戏内部资产作为NFTs,并将其分配给早期的潜在社区成员和玩家) ;3.社区推出了一个实时经济代币,引导一个实时经济;4.社区将资金筹集到一个共享的账户;5.社区推出带有代币的最小可行游戏;6.最小可行游戏将经济代币从供应中移除(这需要由游戏中的玩家世界互动来驱动,玩家有动力去利用,例如玩家应该相信消耗他们的代币是值得的)。7.当代币从流通供应中被移除时,经济会产生更多价值;8.价值被重新投入到游戏中;9.更好的游戏和代币汇被创造出来;10.重复步骤7至9

    1. The highest revenue NFT project to date, NBA Top Shot, has generated $200M in gross sales in just the past month while spending very little on marketing. It’s been able to grow so efficiently because users feel like owners — they have skin in the game. It’s true peer-to-peer marketing, fueled by community, excitement, and ownership. 
    1. His face was altered like that of one who has made a long journey. With awe in his heart he spoke to his father: ‘Father, there is a man, unlike any other, who comes down from the hills. He is the strongest in the world, he is like an immortal from heaven. He ranges over the hills with wild beasts and eats grass; the ranges through your land and comes down to the wells. I am afraid and dare not go near him. He fills in the pits which I dig and tears up-my traps set for the game; he helps the beasts to escape and now they slip through my fingers.' His father opened his mouth and said to the trapper, ‘My son, in Uruk lives Gilgamesh; no one has ever pre-vailed against him, he is strong as a star from heaven. Go to Uruk, find Gilgamesh, extol the strength of this wild man. Ask him to give you a harlot, a wanton from the temple of love; return with her, and let her woman's power overpower this man. When next he comes down to drink at the wells she will be there, stripped naked; and when he sees her beckoning he will embrace her, and then the wild beasts will reject him.'

      The son ran to his father and told him that he had met someone stronger than himself. He was afraid. Not only did he dare not face this powerful enemy, but he also ran to ask his father for help. The father used a woman to deal with the strongest man and used the word “harlot” to address a woman. From this, we can see that this epic discriminates against women, and most women play miserable roles. You can also see men's cowards. Including that Enkidu is a savage, another meaning of this sentence is to say that he is a civilization. But because the epic has such a passage, you can see the characteristics of this epic. This is a feature of prejudice against women, and men are noble.

    2. Now the trapper returned, taking the harlot with him. After a three days' journey they came to the drinking hole, and there they sat down; the harlot and the trapper sat . facing one another and waited for the game to come. For the first day and for the second day the two sat waiting, but on the third day the herds came; they came down to drink and Enkidu was with them. The small wild creatures of the plains were glad of the water, and Enkidu with them, who ate grass with the gazelle and was born in the hills; and she saw him, the savage man, come from far-off in the hills. The trapper spoke to her: ‘There he is. Now, woman, make your breasts bare, have no shame, do not delay but welcome his love. Let him see you naked, let him possess your body. When he comes near uncover yourself and lie with him; teach him, the savage man, your woman's art, for when he murmurs love to you the wild’ beasts that shared his life in the hills will reject him

      Men show the arrogance and prejudice of men. To deal with the strongest person, a vulnerable group such as a woman and a child was used to deal with this strongest person. But on the contrary, this can also show that women are also very powerful; without women, men like them can't deal with the strongest person. It can also prove that women played an essential role in this story. In a sense, women are heroes in this epic.

    1. If you're going for the educational market, beware. My career started in educational games and I can tell you from experience it's a brutal, toxic place. I could write an entire article on that alone so here's the highlights – 1) if you're working in academia proper you will be forever chasing committees and approvals and grants while juggling petty collegial politics and back-stabbing, 2) if you're working in the school system your game will be shoved through a standards compliance colonoscopy procedure with incredibly detailed and arbitrary learning goals and curricula, 3) the entire space is drenched in the principal-agent problem, 4) most people in education know nothing about game design but will insert themselves anyways, 5) most people in the games industry know nothing about pedagogy but will insert themselves anyways, and 6) your product had better run on whatever ancient, low-spec, locked-down computing hardware the institutions happen to have on hand. Companies in the educational games industry are often mistaken for lightweights by the "regular" games industry, but they're actually extremophile species specifically adapted to navigating this strange world.

      accurate? fair?

    1. We live in a society whose psychic structure is formulated on the premise of survival of the fittest and you’re either in or you’re out. If you’re in, you must play the game of kill or be killed. One-upmanship and a perpetual ladder-climbing exercise is your lot.

      Quite a pithy remark. Even though some may say it's far too reductionist, I would say reductionism remains the truest mirror of our selves. We're nothing but monkeys, except that we don't throw shit at each other, we throw nukes.

    1. Zara

      Zara is a game of chance that was played in the Middle Ages.

      It was most commonly played with three dice, although there were regional variations. Each player would throw the dice, calling out a number at the same time. If the number he called was not the sum of the dice, he would pay a number of coins equal to the number he called; if the number he called was the sum of the dice, he would collect a number of coins equal to the number called.

    1. PoptrisPop, pop, pop! Match cubes to knock down the tower. Use three unique power-ups to extend your run and get a new high score!

      very good game, very fun, but gets hard quickly, and puts lots of situations where you cant do anything.

    1. There’s an interesting phenomenon

      The conclusion in the first draft felt rushed and untruthful. I took the advice I received in conferences and reflected on how I felt about basketball. During a game or after a game, I would metaphorically step out of the intensity and think about my feelings. When I tried to come up with a meaningful conclusion, there typically was no clear one. My emotions were a mix of joy from playing with friends and frustration if I was missing a lot of shots or losing the game. So instead of writing a fake conclusion, I tried to communicate that I was still confused. I liked the analogy of a bank shot because it highlighted how my intention mattered. Since I can't figure out my intention, I wrote about what confused me.

    2. edeeming qualities.  A few weeks

      There used to be a paragraph here outlining some 1 on 1 games I played with my two friends. However, I decided to scrap it after the thought verb exercise. There were many circles on the page so I wrote an entirely new paragraph that was structured around details. It was easier to write the 3 on 3 game with verbs because I could imagine the action unfolding, like it would in a movie.

    1. Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

      In this manuscript, Yang et al. trained monkeys to play the classic video game Pac-Man and fit their behavior with a hierarchical decision making model. Adapting a complex behavior paradigm, like Pac-Man, in the testing of NHP is novel. The task was well-designed to help the monkeys understand the task elements step-by-step, which was confirmed by the monkeys' behavior. The authors reported that the monkeys adopted different strategies in different situations, and their decisions can be described by the model. The model predicted their behavior with over 90% accuracy for both monkeys. Hence, the conclusions are mostly supported by the data. As the authors claimed, the model can help quantify the complex behavior paradigm, providing a new approach to understanding advanced cognition in non-human primates. However, several aspects deserve clarification or modification.

      1. The results showed that the monkeys adopted different strategies in different situations, which is also well described by the model. However, the authors haven't tested whether the strategy was optimal in a given situation. According to the results, the monkeys didn't always perform the task in an optimal way, as well. Most of the time, the monkeys didn't actively adopt strategies in a long-term view. They were "passively" foraging in the task: chasing benefit and avoiding harm when they were approached. This "benefit-tending, harm-avoiding" instinct belongs to most of the creatures in the world, even in single-cell organisms. When a Paramecium is placed in a complex environment with multiple attractants and repellents, it may also behave dynamically by adopting a linear combination of basic tending/avoiding strategies, although in a simpler way. In other words, the monkeys were responding to the change of environment but not actively optimizing their strategy to achieve larger benefits with fewer efforts. The only exception is the suicides. Monkeys were proactively taking short-term harms to achieve large benefits in the future.

      One possible reason is that the monkeys didn't have enough pressure to optimize their choices since they will eventually get all the rewards no matter how many attempts they make. The only variable is the ghosts. Most of the time, the monkeys didn't really choose between different targets/ strategies. They were making choices between the chasing order of the options, but not the options themselves. It is similar to asking a monkey to choose either to eat a piece of grape or cucumber first, but not to choose one and give up the other one. A possible way to avoid this is to stop the game once the ghost catches the Pac-Man or limit each game's time.

      2. It is well known that the value of an element is discounted by time and distance. However, in the model, the authors didn't consider it. A relevant problem will be the utility of the bonus elements, including the fruits and scared ghosts. Their utilities were affected not only by their value defined by the authors but also by effects, including their novelty and sense of achievement when they were captured, as the ghosts attracted relatively much more attention than the other elements (considering the number is 2 for them, see in figure 3E).

      3. The strategies are not independent. They are somehow correlated to each other. It may result in, in some conditions, false alarming of more strategies than the real, as shown in figure 2A. It is hard to believe that a monkey can maintain several strategies simultaneously since it is out of our working memory/attention capacity.

    2. Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

      In this intriguing paper, Yang et al. examine the behaviors of two rhesus monkeys playing a modified version of the well-known Pac-Man video game. The game poses an interesting challenge, since it requires flexible, context-dependent decisions in an environment with adversaries that change in real time. Using a modeling framework in which simple "basic" strategies are ensembled in a time-dependent fashion, the authors show that the animals' choices follow some sensible rules, including some counterintuitive strategies (running into ghosts for a teleport when most remaining pellets are far away).

      I like the motivation and findings of this study, which are likely to be interesting to many researchers in decision neuroscience and animal behavior. Many of the conclusions seem reasonable, and the results are detailed clearly. The key weakness of the paper is that it is primarily descriptive: it's hard to tell what new generalizable knowledge we take away from this model or these particular findings. In some ways, the paper reads as a promissory note for future studies (neural or behavioral or both) that might make use of this paradigm.

      I have two broad concerns, one mostly technical, one conceptual:

      First, the modeling framework, while adequate, is a bit ad hoc and seems to rely on many decisions that are specific to exactly this task. While I like the idea of modeling monkeys' choices using ensembling, the particular approach taken to segment time and the two-pass strategy for smoothing ensemble weights is only one of many possible approaches, and these decisions aren't particularly well-motivated. They appear to be reasonable and successful, but there is not much in the paper to connect them with better-known approaches in reinforcement learning (or, perhaps surprisingly, hierarchical reinforcement learning) that could link this work to other modeling approaches. In some ways, however, this is a question of taste, and nothing here is unreasonable.

      Second, there is an elision here of the distinction between how one models monkeys' behavior and what monkeys can be said to be "doing." That is, a model may be successful at making predictions while not being in any way a good description of the underlying cognitive or neuroscientific operations. More concretely: when we claim that a particular model of behavior is what agents "actually do," what we are usually saying is that (a) novel predictions from this model are born out by the data in ways that predictions from competing models are not (b) this model gives a better quantitative account of existing data than competitors. Since the present study is not designed as a test of the ensembling model (a), then it needs to demonstrate better quantitative predictions (b).

      But the baselines used in this study are both limited and weak. A model crafted by the authors to use only a single, fixed ensemble strategy correctly predicts 80% of choices, while the model with time-varying ensembling predicts roughly 90%. This is a clear improvement and some evidence that *if* the animals are ensembling strategies, they are changing the ensemble weights in time. But there is little here in the way of non-ensemble competitors. What about a standard Q-learning model with an inferred reward function (that is, trained to replicate monkeys' data, not optimal performance). The perceptron baseline as detailed seems very poor as a control given how shallow it is. That is, I'm not convinced that the authors have successfully ruled out "flat" models as explanations of this behavior, only found that an ensembled model offers a reasonable explanation.

    3. Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

      Yang and colleagues present a tour de force paper demonstrating non-human primates playing a full on pac-man video game. The authors reason that using a highly complex, yet semi controlled video game allows for the analysis of heuristic strategies in an animal model. The authors perform a set of well motivated computational modeling approaches to demonstrate the utility of the experimental model.

      First, I would like to congratulate the authors on training non-human primates to perform such a complex and demanding task and demonstrating that NHP perform this task well. From previous papers we know that even complex AI systems have difficulty with this task and extrapolating from my own failings in playing pac-man it is a difficult game to play.

      Overall the analysis approach used in the paper is extremely well reasoned and executed but what I am missing (and I must add is not needed for the paper to be impactful on its own) is a more exhaustive model search. The deduction the authors follow is logically sound but builds very much on assumptions of the basic strategy stratification performed first. This means that part of the hierarchical aspect of the behavioral strategies used can be attributed to the heuristic stratification nature of the approach. I am not trying to imply that I do not think that the behavior is hierarchically organized but I am implying that there is a missed opportunity to characterize that hierchical'ness (maybe in a graph theoretical way, think Dasgupta scores) further.

      All in all this paper is wonderful. Congratulations to the authors.

    1. You’ve never seen a hockey player like Maurice Richard. Not Crosby. Not Gretzky. Not Orr, Beliveau, Howe. None of them had the talent, the intensity, the will to take over a game like Richard. And none of them meant to their fans what le Rocket meant to Canadien fans

      this is high praise, he must have been like a national treasure

    2. he showed up at the Forum exhausted from moving furniture all day into his family’s new apartment — then scored five goals and added three assists, setting the NHL record for most points in a single game.

      Honestly, that is amazing stamina

    3. It’s March 13, 1955. The tension between the two rivals in the six-team NHL has been building inside the Boston Garden all night.

      Everyone in the audience could tell that this was bigger than a game

    4. And more, it is not just a matter of hockey.”

      Even though hockey was incredibly important to the culture of Quebec, everyone recognized that this was bigger than just a game

    5. “When I’m hit, I get mad and I don’t know what I do,” he confided in one writer. “Before each game, I think about my temper and how I should control it, but as soon as I get on the ice I forget all that.”

      Richard is acknowledging his temper, but is unable to control it.

    6. Boston police come to the locker room. They want to arrest Richard for assault, to throw him in jail for the night.

      Crazy to think that a player is about to arrested for assault during a hockey game.

    7. The punishment is worse for Richard. Udvari kicks him out of the game.

      I think the punishment is fair, but I do not think it's fair that Richard received this punishment while others did not.

    8. “Bailey tried to gouge his [Richard’s] eyes out,” Red Storey, who refereed that game, later told a reporter, “Rocket just went berserk.”

      wow

    1. My anxiety started to pile up and was taking a toll on my mental health. I was at a very low point. I needed someone to talk to, but didn’t know who I could show this vulnerability to. My mom was coming up to visit for the Red Bandana football game versus Virginia Tech the following weekend and I knew she was going to ask how things were going. I wasn’t sure how I was going to answer. Should I be honest? Could talking to her even solve my feelings of self doubt?

      Again I wasn't happy with the way I originally transitioned from the emotions I was experiencing to sharing them with my mom, so I reworked this paragraph. My original phrasing of "I knew I could talk to her" didn't match the emotions I had at the time. By questioning if I should even bother talking to my own mom about my feelings of self doubt, the reader gains better insight into the anxiety I felt. On another note, I originally also had a few sentences in this paragraph talking about the homesickness I was experiencing, but I felt that could distract the reader from the main point of the paragraph, so I cut it out.

    1. "Charity has been the function of the church. Now it's the team who is taking charge of the social life, visiting children in hospitals, inviting children to see a game or giving money to charity… Does that mean they have kind of a religious role?" he asked.

      This is interesting that someone from Quebec is inserting hockey and professional teams into social and religious life as a substitute for the church

    1. Theriot was a harbinger of the 1960 election of Quebec premier JeanLesage, which gave Francophiles a greater sense of empowerment,and the so-called Quiet Revolution, in which French Quebecoisbegan asserting greater control over their lives.

      It is interesting that Quebec nationalists can trace their poltiical revivalry back to a hockey game

    1.  or perhaps just the end of a time when hockey was more important than politics, as the latter began to take hold among French Canadian youth.

      It is interesting that many people view this as the beginning of Quebec's Quiet Revolution since it was a hockey game rather than something like a battle or massacre that started it

    1. On my confirmation retreat in eleventh grade, we played a game called “cross the line.”

      I rewrote my introduction entirely. My first introduction lacked a personal aspect and was, in all honesty, not engaging for the reader in the slightest. Further, during the Inquiry Writer's Workshop, I realized that many of the "memorable moments" were about solid introductions. Of which many incorporated a personal anecdote. I found the introductions that I read for class much more interesting than my own. So when I went back to make revisions, I made sure to tackle my introduction first by adding a personal aspect to engage the reader.

    1. for my colleague Ross Douthat, a balanced treatment of an unbalanced phenomenon is just good journalism.

      Hilarious! Jay wins the debate before it even starts. Coaston's unsparing and accurate summary of Douthat's ridiculous column is game, set and match.

    1. You see he often went trapping in winter when he was not in the shanties, and one season when he was at the head of the Riviere aux Foins, quite alone, a tree that he was cutting for firewood slipped in falling, and it was the Indians who found him by chance next day, crushed and half-frozen though the weather was mild. He was in their game preserve, and they might very well have pretended not to see him and have left him to die there; but they put him on their toboggan, brought him to their camp, and looked after him. You knew my father: a rough man who often took a glass, but just in his dealings, and with a good name for doing that sort of thing himself. So when he parted with these Indians he told them to stop and see him in the spring when they would be coming down to Pointe Bleue with their furs-François Paradis of Mistassini,' said he to them, will not forget what you have done ... François Paradis.' And when they came in spring while running the river he looked after them well and every one carried away a new ax, a fine woollen blanket and tobacco for six months. Always after that they used to pay us a visit in the spring, and father had the pick of their best skins for less than the companies' buyers had to pay. When he died they treated me in the same way be cause I was his son and bore the same name, François Paradis. With more capital I could have made a good bit of money in this trade-a good bit of money."

      Very interesting story.

    1. creating a startup when you're creating a venture having skin in the game is extremely important and that goes for both the project creator and the project 00:06:48 funder like the grants program right this is a motivating incentive it's just not sufficient to be like oh yeah altruism is going to solve it like the whole point is we're moving away from altruism and like defining markets 00:07:01 which actually are altruistic markets

      akin in the game

      project funder

      altruistic markets

    2. that is a legitimacy game and so if you if the ethereum foundation funds a project that means that they 00:06:11 become much more legitimate within the community's eyes and if the project does something bad that actually hurts the legitimacy of the grants program

      hurts the legitimacy of the grant program

    1. you'll come back each time you leave

      she's likely trying to provide herself with hope of finding someone new. the "you" is all the people playing the game of love with her. since everyone meets her first time with innocence, she's generalizing them and knows more "players" are yet to come

    2. Cause you know I love the playersAnd you love the game

      the speaker feels that she only cares about the people in a relationship, and the other person she is referring to only cares about playing the game and not the person In the relationship.

    3. Cause you know I love the playersAnd you love the game

      Basically saying that they (Players) want to be in the game and the Game can't happen without the players, Its almost saying that they need/want each other

    4. 'Cause you know I love the playersAnd you love the game

      she is more attached to the players and he's attached the the game. this is like a metaphor because she compares what they're attached to and compares it to a sport through her word choice "players" "games" without using like or as

    5. 'Cause you know I love the playersAnd you love the game 'Cause we're young and we're recklessWe'll take this way too far

      although she's been hurt in her previous relationships with her "long list of ex-lovers" she prefers the "players" and she's saying how he loves the "game"

    6. But I've got a blank space, babyAnd I'll write your name

      She is obsessed with getting into relationships and here she's ready to "play" again, telling this person that she can write their name down to this possible game

    7. Love's a game, wanna play?

      love is seen as something more than just emotions. it is a state one is more vulnerable to their partner. this kind of foreshadows to the idea that one of many plans of her may include playing with the person's feelings; like a game.

    8. "Oh, my God, look at that faceYou look like my next mistakeLove's a game, wanna play?"

      the quote shows swift comprehending that this person is a bad idea, and proceeding with them anyways, showing that she is in defiance to the norm of regular life.

    9. I'm dying to see how this one endsGrab your passport and my hand

      the writer seemingly knows that this is going to end badly but still wants to go on with it. like playing a game.

    10. Love's a game, wanna play

      This is a metaphor comparing Love to a game. The use of the comma after "loves a game," and then using the question mark after "wanna play?" Creates this sense of tension.

    11. Love's a game, wanna play?" Ay New money, suit and tie

      here she she is representing love to a game, then that's where the game comes in play in the beginning of relationships where everything is nice and new like money, a suit and tie.

    1. Participants played both a violent shooter and a non-violent golf game on separate occasions for 10 minutes and then placed one of their hands in ice-cold water to test their reaction to pain. On average, participants were able to keep their hands in the ice water for 65 per cent longer after playing the violent game.

      Statistical arguments are often used in connection with the kinds of topics we have been dealing with: political issues, decisions, generalizations and human nature. ( statistical reasoning week 11).

      This logical issue is relevant because Data can be easily manipulated to display a desired result. This can be very useful in an argument if the Data are displayed and are processed correctly.

      In this particular argument there is statistical evidence to support the premise that video games can increase the tolerance of pain with participants who played violent video games being able to keep their hands in the ice for 65 percent longer than participants who didn't play those video games.
