Regardless of the medication taken, the purported interaction and desired chemical reaction(s) in the brain are rarely, if ever, tested. Billions of neurons connect with trillions of synaptic transmissions that can theoretically get out of wack, but the doctors never bother to check, or even know how their medications actually “work”.

The pseudo-sciences, with forms, known as Psychology and Psychiatry are practiced by doctors pretending that they know something useful, but deliver at a rate worse than that of an Amazonian witch doctor, or a Catholic Priest exorcising demons.

YouTube allows me to publish my own video, but that is it. Perfect. I know what to expect.

For some reason, there is nothing useful on Facebook. Email, and cell phones, with Skype are plenty of great ways to communicate with friends and family.

A “wall” is the least possible creative experience. Too public to talk with a friend, and not meant for just entering random stuff. It serves the memes on the Internet, adds wasteful replication that becomes a political and business pissing match at one extreme, and Farming information of the cyber kind at the other. The Facebook app for the iPhone was very badly designed. Looking up friends that one already has takes multiple key presses and annoying interfaces and images that I did not put there.

WordPress is the place to go for blogging and writing opinions, without advertisements. One can keep it simple, or go to virtually no limit with their own BLOG site, utilizing Open Source.

ShowcaseYourMusic is great for just that, and exactly for showcasing your music. BLOGS can be utilized tie all of your creativity together in your own miniature web on the Internet.

Twitter is great for ranting, and the more everybody does it, the less important it becomes.

I posted my own science fiction on twitter, when I first started using it, but my writing needs work, and I just wanted to try for fun.

The more you write, the better. If an employee does not like what you write, then that is their loss.

The brain is a self-learning, self-modifying system that is capable of self-repair, to an extent.

Scientific scanning of the brain by Psychiatrists or Psychologists is extremely rare.

Do you control your mind?

Free will is an illusion long ago partially shown just by the results of Einstein. Space-time is like a loaf of bread that can be sliced, relative to the individual. This alone does not prove my point.

Daniel Dennett pointed out that freedom evolves, but then he pointed out that a computer chess game has a degree of freedom. Free will, of the modern kind is off the mark, and Dennett was lost in the forest, with that topic.

“I Am a Strange Loop”, by Hofstader, is right on the mark, on much more fun to read. a lot of folks missed what he wanted to say in GEB.

Doctors are the jocks of the science basement. They don’t read other topics or anything that would threaten their pseudo-science, that is not even wrong. They support the central plan structure and are not interested in science.

Religious people have the mental illness of the majority. They have a primitive part of the brain that is overly sensitive, due to selection. The same reason a dog jumps and turns around, if snow falls out of a tree.

Some doctors are helpful, but they should be equated with the same status as a witch doctor. There is a science of the mind, but doctors do not practice science, because it is not legal. We have a centrally planned system of forms and notes and insurance. We do not have the science of medicine and the brain being practiced anywhere anymore. There is simply no liberty to do so.

Read some books! Don’t believe experts – they are paid to pretend to know things.

I only help private companies. Authoritarian agencies will not receive any of my help.

Tip two: be careful of your cloud systems. Are you sure it is safe? Lol.

I can close these Obama ads from a laptop, but not my iPhone. Obama has a billion dollars to spend on his campaign. Ron Paul gets no lobby money. All of his money comes from the troops and other liberty-lovers.

#OccupyLiberty

All bills from the house are supposed to be the source of all money bills. It was never intended that Congress should lose control of that and hand it over to a private, central bank where Congress, the people, must borrow endlessly for perpetual war and out-of-control Keynesianism.

More military employees support Ron Paul than all other GOP candidates combined, and more than Obama. These facts may be checked, because their campaign contributions are open.

The USA government is factually broke, by definition. We cannot continue to support crony capitalism which is just another name for a gentle form of fascism, by definition. Others have called it a corporate oligarchy, but the corruption is clear, regardless of the label. A central plan, by any other name, still smells.

Ron Paul worked very hard to shine at least a partial light on the FED and it’s 15 trillion dollar secret.

It is actually Congress’s job to earmark every spending item. That is what is known as “transparency”, and it prevents the king from spending on endless pet projects or wars of his or her liking. The House, not the FED, is supposed to deal with matters of funding and monetary policy. The FED, if not eliminated, needs to be transparent, so that all holders of 1 or more dollars and all USA taxpayers know exactly how much is being created and where it flows to in each and every case.

We know that much about our public stock holdings, do we not? When your stock splits or doubles, don’t you get your fair share?

I hate my former boss Larry Ellison, but Obama does seem nice. However, Larry and company are fair with their ORCL shares, and Obama was misleading about the wars and the war on drugs. He is a US Citizen Assassin with little or no regard for the rule of law. Science teaches us that human intuition about the real world is unreliable. He expanded the war and authorized trillions of dollars of waste and debt.

Do the banks actually own all of the Federal Reserve Notes, and that is why they can always be certain that they can simply bail themselves out, and create more with another QE and secret loans?

Ron Paul predicted the housing bubble. Timing is difficult, because we can never be sure what the Central Planners will do next. Some day, groceries, insurance, medical care costs and gold prices will go through the roof.

The Soviet system was modeled after the US system, but the Central Planners were on steroids. The US system is now in free fall, but at a slower pace.

We may soon have Millions Standing Around or MSA at the malls to mirror the Thousands Standing Around and groping your penis at LAX and elsewhere. The LAX TSA needs to get rid of their Pervert Platoon of GED grads who live to humiliate and embarrass even if can cost a consultant his job, or put him in the psychiatrist office on short-term leave – those sick people!

Herman Cain-sian economics, is just Keynesian, with a dumb plan that is sure to be changed by Congress, and his FED buddies to a 11-13-17 plan – a stupid Keynesian idea with added pipelines of wealth transfer for the corporatists to split.

Read Ron Paul’s plan and let me know what you think. It is available in PDF.

If you knew your history, you would know that Muhammad founded Islam there, and the terrorists are generally speaking of the entire middle east region, and not just the peninsula.   Go back and read what Osama bin Laden himself said.  Why would he go to the trouble of telling the American people a lie about why he ordered the 9/11 attack?  If we did what he asked, then he would not have served any productive purpose, from his point of view.  He would still be frustrated by our actions.  It would be pretty tough for him to find many followers, if the goals are never met.  After a while, you will run out of suicide bombers and there will be only women in the middle east.

We favor going after criminals like Osama bin Laden.  He was a criminal.  I will favor utilizing autonomous drones, as long as the developers do not have a problem utilizing one for a neighborhood watch in their own neighborhoods.  However, we will put central planners in charge of the joy stick.  It will fire rockets at any potential terrorist or criminal in their neighborhood, so the intentions are good, and there should be no objection if some of their children become maimed or killed in the process of looking out for their freedom and their liberty and their safety.

But, more importantly, why all of these undeclared wars?  Viet Nam, Korea, Iraq, … 5 or 6 more…  Trillions of dollars later, and thousands of bodies. 99% of the bodies did not even know much about 9/11 from the news when they were alive, or they sympathized with the families.  We have been involved for a very long time in the affairs of other people living in the middle east region.

We do consider military bases as occupations.  To occupy space where you are not welcome by anyone but the ruling class.

Tell me what is wrong with officials following the Constitution, as sworn?  What is wrong with a consistent record of voting against the debt ceiling and undeclared wars?

The essential thing to understand about Hawking’s stance on God, is in the equations and the philosophy of the scientific method.  God will never be added into any of the equations. 

 There are entities in the Universe, and every entity has attributes associated with it, otherwise it would not be something new. How would a “God of Abraham” factor ever fit into such a system?  What about just a Creator entity? No, because that is just jumping to a goal post, without knowing how you got there. It could turn out that we live inside of a simulation with a sort of creator.  I tested this theory, and the simulator did not respond.   I think we have a long way to go before we can determine whether or not we live inside of a simulation though, so I think we should stick to science.

It would seem that the universe bubble that we exist in, is but one of an infinite number of possible bubbles, all existing under the same laws, but exerting different values for their particle/strings to “settle” within a given set of fields.

There are hills and valleys upon where each of the fundamental particles can land to rest or actually vibrate.

It may turn out that waves push the particles around, and that an equivalent model, or a more accurate model could be built up from that.

Penrose has a “twister” model that may prove more accurate. There are many other theories. 

The “why” questions tend to get almost answered by a never-ending series of how questions. The Godists seem to insist that we solve everything at once, and reach a false goal line that was invented by man.

Mathematics in conjunction with science works. It may not ease your soul, but it does fine by me. The universe is a great and wondrous place. Reading about it from authors such as Hawking, Pinker, Dawkins, Greene, V. Stenger, and many others, gives me great joy. Many doors have been opened for me by these great writers.

There was the Obama peace candidate and then the Obama presidency.  Most people are already quite aware of this and other discrepancies between the candidate and the president.  Perry is already infamous for his ability to morph into whatever political animal that will get him elected.   Paul has a plan for peace and liberty.  Perry and Obama do not even have a plan for liberty.

If drones can run autonomously, then I would think that peace-loving humans ought to be permitted the same courtesy. Ron Paul is the only candidate who believes in, and has a plan for autonomous humans.  Isn’t it about time that we legalized liberty, and combined it with the synergy of peace and prosperity as well?

The employees of the mainstream media should get behind Ron Paul, because he supports the free market of ideas completely, and would help protect your liberty. There should be more jobs, because information is the key to successful liberty. I work in information technology, and see a great leap forward in the growth of not just data, but information. Data is useless, unless it can be converted back into useful information through all kinds of media. Not just TV, but the Internet as well. Information has value, regardless of how it is presented. People can freely compete to present the information in the best way possible.

I can imagine a day when I can just see through my glasses which media company or which consumer report-like agency approves of the company that I am about to consider walking into, in a shopping center mall. The best agencies will be the most accurate. People can make up their own mind. I would be interested in knowing which companys are carrying products that contain DNA that is genetically altered (fine), by a company that sues farmers when their DNA gets into their neighbor’s crops (not fine – pollution of neighbors crops, and a violation of their property rights, but supported by the mainstream. If anything, it should be the other way around, those dirty authoritarian-supporting lawyers and judges should be ashamed). Guess I will not be shopping there.

The cool thing is, that there are many more workers, than owners of the corporate oligarchy, and there are many useful jobs that are potentially out there, in a land of liberty, where people can freely trade ideas, goods, and services with each other.

Just bringing the troops home, will be a huge savings that peace lovers everywhere should enjoy.  The troops can spend their federal reserve notes here, and we can finally get a taste of that peace dividend that was promised to us after the cold war, but of course never delivered.  This will be the higest priority of the presedent, if we can get Ron Paul elected in 2012.

We need a machine that can take a blank set of computer processors, electronic circuit boards, and printable components, then replicate itself with it, allowing it to evolve the software and the shape of it’s next set of components.  The machine must make out, in advance, if the mutated replica will have at least the same capabilities, as the current copy.  As the machines continue to copy, they can compete for resources.  The smallest, initial design would be best. The machine’s parameters should allow it to create larger copies, if resources are saved, in some other way, or if competition demands.

When I attempt to live and strive for the kind of liberty where we treat each other with true equal, individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that is when I feel alive and feel like I belong in this world! The Diest, pre-Darwin, Thomas Jefferson certainly embraced these ideas.

Liberty is a relatively new experiment, not much older than Darwin.

I am not saying that we should live as social Darwinists. Quite the opposite. The Chimps are the authoritarians. We are the fifth ape. We need to become fully sentient humans.

If we are not free to choose our own path through life’s maze, then who? If we are not to have liberty now, then when?

Society has a right to justice in the courts, and physical protection from harm of those who would take away your liberty. This includes protection from the outside terrorist criminals, and protection from those on the inside who would rape your daughter, steal your property, or send DEA thugs into your state.

Brute force is something that we can trace back to the modern acceptance of old testament punishments from the Bible. Of course, those are but a continuation of what our early ape ancestors behaved like.

These people, these authoritarians from every frequency of the political spectrum, have had plenty of pre-Constitutional and post-Constitutional attempts to run society. None have given modern concepts of liberty, science, the arts, or literature a fair chance.

Liberty is scientific. It is self-correcting and falsifiable. It is a delicate experiment that the authoritarians need to stop treading on.

Ron Paul is a very strong Christian who is capable of separating his religious beliefs from his understanding of liberty, to a degree above the rest of his party. He is the only federal politician in DC who has consistently stood up for the Constitution and liberty.

Fortunately for Americans, Paul has managed to cherry-pick the libertarian aspects of Jesus out of the Bible, and recognizes the importance of liberty to the human individual.

I am not worried that he will slip into the murky waters of the deep, brown tea.

Dr. Paul has shown us that he can work with Barney Frank, whenever Frank falls on the side of liberty.

I would rather have 100% of my Federal Reserve Notes taxed, than to have Michele Bachman as our president. Social conservatives, like her are anti-liberty, and Johny-come-lately, whining, cry babies.

The deep, brown tea party is full of murky, dangerous ideas, right out of the bronze-age.

Ron Paul is in favor of a new idea called “liberty”, an idea that is not much older than Darwin. The experiment, is a political one, and therefore is imperfect, but would be self-correcting, if the authoritarians would stop interfering.

In order for the experiment of liberty to work, we need everybody to be permitted to own their bodies and the fruit of their labour.

The Constitution is the compromise! The authoritarians have proven to us time and again that they do not know what they are doing, when it comes to foreign or domestic policy. They have no plan or practice that defends liberty.

The authoritarians consider government intervention into other people’s business, in other countries is the proper way for civilized people to behave. It usually means activity involving the inevitable loss of innocent life, is how they prefer to deal with other people in this world.

The “isolationist” label is false and intentionally misleading. One can engage politically and economically with other nations without flying drones over their country and killing innocent children.

Politics is simply a word to express how humans interact with one another. We compromise and negotiate. War is a bronze-aged mentality mind set, with no notion of, or proper understanding of modern concepts of liberty, economics, science, the arts, and literature built in.

What happens when one country bombs and occupies another country? What happens when two countries do trade with each other? One answer is ” blow back”, and the other is “more friends and/or more wealth”. It is easy to see which answer goes with each question.

It is hard to think what it might be like for Americans to freely trade with our foreign friends. The corporate oligarchy, with the military industrial complex leading the way, but others not far behind, have formed agreements with the federal government, by lobbying Congress to exercise powers that give them favor over ordinary citizens. They are anti-liberty and anti-free-trade.

It is the pro-war folks who encourage isolation of ordinary Americans by barring them from freely trading with our good friends.

Some say that the purpose of government is to “protect us.” A more precise description is that the purpose of government is to defend our liberty. Each individual is responsible for, and is entitled to her own body and her own actions. The purpose of the federal government is not to stop people from making their own mistakes.

The present-day government of The United States is granted a monopoly on force, for the purpose of defending the liberty of the American people.

Instead, the Government abuses it’s powers beyond the intentions, as described by the Constitution, and beyond moral decency, by any modern standards or measurement.
