Awareness

Awareness is not totally conscious.
Body judges and chooses without the intervention of the mind’s judgement.
Ergo training necessitates time to change automatic reactions to stimuli.

This mind/body dissonance is only possible in higher organism with a developed neurological system and a more sophisticated experiential storage system - memory.
In effect, an organism learns and adapts, and adjust, by imposing upon tis automatic, physically informed, impulses its experiential knowledge and understanding.
Usurping the body’s genetic memories with the mind’s experiences/memories.
Here nihilism takes root.

Will power is decisive…degree of control over aggregate energies and their automated interactions.
[[size=80]See Will[/size]]

22

Again, agreed, however the distinctions, the de-differentiations occur due two either a focus on the gradations inherent in either of the two processes of change, : the epi-phenomenal reductive mess of falling , of failing to signify for the depreciation and devolution of stored data, or, it’s apparent contraindication to re-charge, re-power the will.

The two processes will at beyond the edge of nihilization, is where civilization finds it’s self in a major, if not final besparation of the need to make a choice, without dependence of any conceivable choice, either believe one way or the other, for if not, the identifiable essential connection will de-associate.

23

All of existence is dynamic…interactive energies.
Heidegger’ thrownness.
An organism are energies that have organized and can direct their organization, via will.
Will is like a boat’s rudder…as the water, i.e., existence, continuously moves onward.
The boat’s movement, momentum, is how it experiences existing.
The river moves from a theoretical point of near-asolute dualism, singularity, towards a theoretical ocean of uniform chaos.
This momentum is the 'thrownness, or ‘falling.’
'Falling is Abrahamic where this theoretical singularity is ‘god’ - an imagined states of perfect, complete, unity, i.e., oneness, perfect order - certainty…towards an imagined state absolute chaos, i.e., hell.
Neither is absolute, completed. There is only movement = energy.

Change is the organism experiencing this state of contant dynamic interactivity.

An imagined static, inert, state is non-existent…the mind inverting tis perception of existence.

this is where the delusion of “falling” comes from.

24

Existence

State of contant interactivity - dynamic - lacking any end, any objective.
This interactivity - repulsion/attraction - is characterized by patterned - ordered - and non-patterned - chaotic - energies.

Interpretation of patterns, by a conscious organism - is what is referred to as appearance.
A pattern’s sequence, speed, rhythm are interpreted as kind, types…as characteristics of form, colour, texture, scent, sound etc…depending on the organ of perception.

25

Words

Words/Symbols are representations of mental abstractions, mental ideas, images, sensations, emotions…etc.
Noumena. Noetic.

In their original use they express emotional states, communicating them with other minds, sharing them; communicating intentions.
They develop as representations connecting noumena with what is perceived, with presence, with what is present, with the mind interprets as appearance.
Past is continuously manifested as presence.
Words connect phenomena into mental matrices we call meaning.

When the organism returns its mental abstractions back to the world from where it collected stimuli to construct them, in the form of an action - choice being an action it is testing its interpretations of the world in the world, adjusting them by analyzing the consequences.
Empiricism.
Therefore, the first utility of words is as mediating connectors between noumena and phenomena; between idea and act.

Nihilism disconnects ords form phenomena and reattaches them to other words, pages of words, to emotions, to sensations, to feelnigs…to esoteric rather than exoteric referents.
Currently the word ‘gender’ and ‘woman’ are being detached form their external referents.

Words like ‘value,’ ‘morality,’ ‘love/hate,’ ‘god,’ ‘race,’ ‘gender, sex,’ ‘value,’ can and must be connected back to their external references, to actions; to the apparent dynamic interactive existent world.
Their ideological variants, refer only to words, symbols, books…other minds…feelings… emotions…and can be exploited and manipulated to exploit and manipulate minds.
Connecting them to actions anchors them to what is independent from all subjective perspectives, and limits how a charlatan may choose to exploit and manipulate them.
Nihilism is a defensive method of using semiotics to protect the mind from reality, and so words become weapons, tools for manipulating and exploiting minds that seek refuge, an escape form reality.

Nature is another term for cosmos, world, reality.
Natural order only refers to the patterned perceptible part of existence - physis.

When words become esoteric - when they are detached from the external experienced world and reconnected to emotions, more words, texts in books, other minds, they acquire the power of ‘magic’, because this is an inconspicuous manipulative psychological method of taking control of another - from the inside out - zombification.
Words become spells that can possess another mind from a distance. A magical effect for those that do not understand what words are.

Certain tribes, certain cultures, have taught themselves the art of linguistic manipulation from afar, via text, via a sequence of semiotics uttered under controlled environments - ritualized - the art of magic.
Such tribes have adopted a parasitical survival strategy…human husbandry. Instead of exploiting other species they exploit Homo sapiens.
Nihilism becomes their tool of preference.

26

Absolute

A theoretical concept that is defined and described as being indivisible, immutable, complete, whole - a singularity.
Such a concept can only exist as a abstraction ni the mind, or a word, representing it in some text. The mental abstraction is a representation of what does not and cannot exist outside the mind.
It is an example of a noetic inversion of the existent, conceptualized as a representation of an absolute state.
Like the concept of non-existence is the inversion of the existing.
Foundation of Nihilism and its reactionary, defensive linguistics, attempting to construct alternative realities to exist within, so as to escape existence and tis indifferent uncertainties - its need/suffering.

Noetic absolutes produce paradoxes, mind/body dissonance - conflict between the ideal - in the head - and the real - outside the head - where the ideal contradicts the real and, yet, is maintained as being more real than the real.
Noumena usurping and attempting to replace, negate, phenomena - the apparent.
Words referring to other words; minds deferring to minds.

27

Man starts drawing what he perceives.
He, the talented one, draws animals, because he depends on animals for his nourishment. His fellows admire his figures.
Gradually he develops language…words.
Starting with drawings…then letters…forming words.
These words refer to the perceived.
He sees nature…strange forces he cannot understand. he calls them spirits of his dead ancestors…later he calls them gods.

Fast forward…
He sees animals moving…intentionally. he associates their movements with his own movement with intent…he calls this will.
The clever one, names them…vocalizes them…his fellows admire him…adopt his vocalizations. His vocalizations become conventional.
He may mistakenly associate all movement…like rocks rolling down hills, with intent…but later he overcomes this delusion by adding more understanding to his definitions.
He chooses, makes judgments, evaluates, and chooses according to these evaluations, judgements…and selects…he chooses.

Much later…
He, the clever one, is filled with anxiety…how much he does not know nor understands…How much of what he sees is unknown and uncertain…moved by some seemingly mysterious force…a will…a god…?
There must be a secret…a secret he might use to exploit his fellows who feel the same anxiety.

Now he takes the words his ancestors invented and redefines them…makes them conventional. Updates them…modernizes them…brings them up to date.
His fellows adopt them as their own.

He takes ‘god’ and imagines an occult, underlying reality, only he can see…he can’t but his fellows don’t know that, and the idea is comforting.
He must be the mediator to this…so that he doesn’t have to go out for the hunt…he stays back with the women, and is given the biggest piece of the kill…because he is their only conduit to this secret knowledge. he likes that…so he begins making other stuff up.

He redefines god in antithesis to the previous definitions. now ‘god’ does not refer to what can be observed, experiences. but to what can be thought.
The more people that he can convince to think the same thought, the more real the new definition of ‘god’ becomes - with no external references, it now becomes esoteric, conventionally determined requiring no external validation, intersubjective.
Now the mind of the collective, the priest convinces them, is the only reference they need.
Faith.
The harder they believe, the more real their conventional definition of ‘god’ becomes.
The more who share in this the more real this ‘god’ becomes - the more powerful he is.

No need for what is perceived…and causes such distress and anxiety.
Now minds are all that are necessary to fabricate, collectively - under the guidance of the priest - their own reality.

28

Illiterate dimwits live with their jargon…their local idioms and lack of edumacation…

Midwits live with the lingo of their time and place…unable to even think beyond conventional linguistics and convictions, competing only over who can parrot it more precisely.

Empiricism anchors the words to reality, preventing flights of fancy and charlatans exploiting both dimwits and midwits from using language to exploit their ignorance, cowardice, and needs/desires.

Any divergence requires a justification based on the experienced world.

29

By using word to connect to independently perceptible phenomena these words are taken away from the armoury of charlatans and wannabe messiahs, using them to mystify and manipulate and exploit, and all those dimwits that use them to self-conceal, and self-medicate and defend their ego from a world that remains indifferent to all subjectivity and all conventions.
Returning words to their simple utility disarms charlatans that use them to fabricate mystical nonsense, using obscurantism and esotericism, to manipulate and exploit needy midwits and dimwits.

By using words to connect noumena to phenomena it makes them verifiable even by a layman, or a hypocrite who desperately wants to use them to protect his ego, e.g., it prevents hypocritical cowards from denying something obvious, like how and why morality evolved, or what gender is, or what a woman is, or what god is, or what beauty is, or what truth is…
As Orwell said… “Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Truth

A term referring to a perspective that is most probable, relative to other perspectives; a theory that has more external referents that validate it or more rational arguments in its support.
There is obviously not final, complete, absolute truth…since there is no omniscient being.
Truth is, therefore, always what is most probable, given all that is known and understood, and precedent.

Finally, there can not be one final, complete, absolute truth because the cosmos is in flux - fluctuating…and so changing…temporal.
Truth can only be what is most probable in a particular point in a comic time.
The fat that order is still dominant, and cosmic change occurs at a different rate than human perception of change…certain patterns continue over huge periods of space/time, giving certain truths - perspectives, ideas, patterns - longevity exceeding that of others that are more ephemeral.

Truth often refers to facts.
“Facts” refers to knowledge/understanding that refers to perceptible objective reality…or to events in the past, making them immutable, because what is in the past no longer exists in the present, and cannot be altered. Usually ‘facts’ refers to these immutable past events that have contributed to the determination of the present, as presence.
Objective reality is not eternal nor static, so this reference must be constantly reaffirmed.
As noted above in regards to ‘truth’, certain ‘facts’ remain true for such lengthy periods of space/time - relative to human lifespans and man’s existence as a species - that for humans they seem to be eternal.

30

None of that is true.

Immunization to all forms of charlatanism, including postmodernism, but all nihilistic dogmas/ideologies, starting from Abrahamism through Marxism, and finally to its current variant, i.e., postmodernism, is to take back language from their corrupted arsenals.

How?
By using words as they were originally intended - their primary utility:
Mediating connectors of noumena to phenomena.,
Just as the nervous system - including brain - is where body/mind synthesize, so too it is where language represents what is outside the organism - independent from its will.

We wont get into how this linguistic utility morphed, over time - because language evolves…just like DNA; language is a meme’s DNA; language is a culture’s memetic foundation, just as genes are an organism’s foundations, guiding processes, using memory to direct…
As to genes so to memes…so parasitical organism can evolve that infect an organism (host) and take it over form the inside, by attaching itself to its nervous system; so too have memetic parasites evolved that do the same - only now replace organism with superorganism, or civilization - taking a civilization over from the inside - practicing concealment, pretending to belong to the infecter host’s own body; gradually corrupting tis genetic programming, hijacking its will; attaching itself to its nervous system, i.e., its institutions, and gradually corrupting its original programming its language.
How?
By gradually detaching noumena from phenomena…and reattaching them to their texts…until this reattachment becomes conventional knowledge.

For now let us focus on postmodernism.
Postmodernism is practicing an adapted form of Marxism.
After Marxism failed to repeat the success of Abrahamism, adapting spiritual nihilism into a secular form, it shifted, adjusted, adapted…and instead of focusing on socioeconomics it is now focusing on sex and identity.
Watch Dr. James Lindsay’s lectures on youtube…he explains it thoroughly.

32

Some of that might be true.

What’s interesting to me is you bring up objectivity in intersubjectivity.

It is objective that nobody wants their consent violated.

It is inter subjective that what violates consent is different for each individual.

I can say to you, “it violates my consent that you don’t have sex with me right now”

You can say to me, “it violates my consent to ever have sex with you.”

For the first time in the history of the cosmos, people are having an actual discussion.

Republicans in the US have been postmodernists for a long time.

They won the language wars by destroying the value of referents.

I call this contradiction frequency.

It’s a conceptual illusion where people aren’t immediately struck dead by a bolt of lightning for saying they don’t exist.

Morons think these people are all power. Those people amplify contradiction frequency to seem like god.

33

Knowledge

Data; information.
Data stored in the brain - memory.
First- second-hand data - experiential, in origin; learned, adopting another’s experiences.

Existence = dynamic, interactive - Flux
Man interprets existence by converting it to a form he can process and store - apriori evolved methods of processing data, i.e., space, time, causality [size=80][Kant; see Schoenherr’s disagreement[/size]t].
Sensual stimulations - interacting with the eye sense organ - are converted to neural impulses, transmitted to the brain where they are re-converted to sensations, images, abstractions, combined inot cocnepts, ideas, ideals etc.
Therefore, the objective world is converted to a noetic subjective construct that must be affirmed to judge its accuracy.
Since organisms can only perceive order - patterned energies - it is only these patterned energies which are perceived and converted to abstractions, concepts, ideas…

First/Second-hand knowledge - stored as memory - establishes precedence which can override immediate circumstantial needs/desires.
Here the will is freed, liberated from animalistic, automated, impulsive reactivity.

Understanding

Without knowledge, i.e., data, there is no understanding.
The patterns man converts and stores as knowledge [[size=80]see above[/size]] are then processed and analyzed, finding patterns in them - interconnections, relationships of causality…
These can then be used to project probability approximations.

Wisdom

This refers to a further analysis of knowledge/understanding, to find utility, applicability, relative to probability projections.
Knowing, and understanding, sampling existence across space/time - beyond the existent, but also what exited, and what might come to exist, is what produces wisdom .
Wisdom disregards the nonsensical, the useless, the ephemeral, the immediate, the here and now…and discovers what is most timeless and useful across time/space…across cultural boundaries and individual upbringing…

34

Flux

A term referring to existence as a dynamic interactive state.
Since order can be perceived and chaos cannot flux includes both.
Chaotic energies can be perceived by an organism that can only perceive order by its effect on the ordered.
Ordered energies can form unities where their attraction exceeds their repulsion - attraction/repulsion referring to interactivity.
Ordered energies can share similar frequencies with other energies, reducing the friction between them - this harmony is called attraction.

Change

A term used to refer to a perceived alteration, movement.
Because the mind constructs noetic snapshots (abstractions) it perceives movement as a juxtaposition between them in sequence.
Changes in the snapshot - similar to a movie reel imitating movement using still shots in a sequence, each one slightly different - changed - from the previous one - representing movement.
Man builds technologies using his understanding of his own biological processes.
Organism’s perceive flux as change…measuring it in time. Causality.
Time is this relationship between the mind’s processing speed and the world’s flux, perceived as causal chains, where an effect becomes part of causes producing another effect…ad infinitum…
The effects of interactivity are perceived as change.

Relativity
Accelerating velocity - movement in a vacuum - towards one spatial direction - field of possibilities - multiplies the probability of interactivity in that spatial direction/dimension, simultaneously decreasing it in all other dimensions.
This decrease lowers interactive attrition, as the overall probability of interactivity decreases in space where flux is not as great as it is in an atmosphere, or in water. where patterned energies are more condensed. Velocity in these more condensed spatial environments would be severely restricted by attrition.
Since time measures the relationship of the subject with the world, this decrease of interactivity is a relative decrees relative to another who is not accelerating and is within more condensed patterned environments.

*There, is of course, no absolute, total complete vacuum, only states of substantially reduced flux, i.e., energy interactions.
An absolute vacuum - lacking all energies - would be another way of describing non-existence.

Pattern
Ordered.
Repeating, consistent, predictable frequency, sequence…
Patterned energies can combine and form unities, that may become large enough to be perceived by organisms.
Such unities are not eternal.

*Finding patterns underlying the interactivity of these energy patterns - man interprets as different kinds of matter - is how man establishes Laws of Nature.
These always apply to patterned energies, or to what can be perceived.

Non-Patterned
Chaotic
Inconsistent, unpredictable, frequency, sequence…
Chaos remains on the smallest level, since it can never establish stable unities.

  • Like cosmic white-noise.
35

Artificial vs. Natural

In general, an artificial environment refers to an environment where human interventions - intentionality - have usurped natural processes to a degree where they begin to effect man more than the original.
All organisms affect their environments, converting them to what is most beneficial to their needs/desires…but none to a degree equal to that of man.
Thus far only one species has managed to pass this ambiguous line from natural selection to social, i.e., ideological selection - a form of eugenics directed by shared ideals, beliefs consciously and/or unconsciously adjusting natural human evaluations.
A side-effect is mind/body dissonance: fragmentation, a form of schizophrenia where the mind is torn by two competing standards: one natural and inherited - impulse, instinct - the other learned and reaffirmed through constant repetition.
Gene/Meme split.

Additional negative side-effects are called pollutants…including genetically transmitted unfit mutations that compound over time with unpredictable psychosomatic effects…usually manifesting paraphilic tendencies, e.g., fetishes, impulses, neuroticism…etc.

36

Objectivity is an aristocratic ethos - monstrous and inhuman.
It admires what is superior, even to itself; it appreciates what is better, despite personal implications.

This is why it is often misunderstood by the midwit conventional minds, that can only appreciate what is useful and admire what is of their own; and the dimwit that can only call true what is flattering and beneficial to its mundane unimpressive existence.
These minds project their own motives, their own methods, into what is, for them, incomprehensible.

They call it ‘evil’ to give it a name, and by naming it reducing their anxiety.

37

Conventional thinkers have conventional beliefs, and conventional understanding; they are always modern, following the convictions of whatever is popular, or habitual, within every age.

If they are born in the Middle-Ages they would adopt the conventions of that age…if they were born in the middle-east they would adopt the conventions of that area.
They remain dependent on popular ways and methods.
Conventional minds cannot innovate, challenge convictions…they can only imitate and follow.
They need leaders…and fall victim of Judas goats leading them to slaughter.
They need authorities to tell them what to think and how to think it.
Sheeple.

38

:laughing: The word “idiot”- which is very degrading in the first place - seems to be a far cry from your definition of Someone who lacks expertise or the talents or the knowledge/understanding to rule.

It is almost like jumping from A to Z in one full swoop.

39

one (wo)man’s idiot is another (wo)man’s genius

40

The cost of a wrong judgment is in the product - the consequence.
The idiot will be a burden on the woman who failed to correctly judge.
