Complications Woo - Explorers Guide to SciFi World - 11-11-2021
Hello humans. Hello humans. It's the 11 November 2021. We're in the time of complications.
We see that the power elite are trying to control everything and it's not really working. We've got Australia saying everybody that isn't vaccinated is going to be lonely for life, restricted to no activity, locked up, that kind of thing. We've got additions to the vaccine showing up. So it tells us that they know what the problem is. And so it's an active response so it can't be put down to a compounding of errors.
And this is the addition of a heart attack drug to the COVID-19 vaccines for kids. So they know it's going to cause heart attacks and so they're attempting to do something to dampen that effect, right? Not eliminate it, just dampen it so it's not so obvious. So we're getting into these periods where more and more of it's coming out. You got people on Fox News, like Geraldo Rivera saying you have no rights when it comes to the vaccine.
You must take it. You have no rights.
We've got the passport schemes failing around the planet and we've got responses from the populace around the planet as these things fail, as they keep rolling them out and as they keep crashing. And what's actually going on is a confluence of time such that we have this joining this conjunction how do I want to say this? Okay, so our planet wanders through space in a rather squirrely fashion, okay? It doesn't go straight, doesn't go linear. We're following the sun, and so our sun is dragging all of the planets through this path.
That's our sun. And here's all of the little planets. We're all trailing around behind the sun basically in this cone. And we're sort of like a comet, okay? And it's just going to go through this path that is not linear in any way, shape or form.
There's nothing besides nothing to judge linear in space. It's all linear because you're always going that way. But you're that way may involve loops and stuff relative to some point that you started out at. And that's how we function in space, that we follow these plasma trails, these tubes, plasma tubes, and they direct us through space. As we move along, they bring us through different parts of space and we encounter different types of material, interstellar material, which causes the sun to react.
The sun is not nuclear. It is mainly hematite, mainly metals, iron in gold and silver and a bunch of other metals. But it creates metals as well because of the nature of what's happening. It is a plasma. It is an ionized gas.
It is ionized because of the impact of the interstellar media through which it's traveling on its surface. And it because it ionizes and because it's so large. And all of this, it flares into a plasma very much like a tig torch that you would use for welding aluminum or something like that. That's an ionized gas electrical arc. And that's basically what our sun is.
It's not nuclear. There's never going to be a position where, okay, so the die hold or whatever the people are vogt vote. His theory about there's a micronova, a minion nova on the sun and it happens periodically, it's bullshit because he assumes that the sun is nuclear. He assumes as part of this thing, you must assume that the sun is a nuclear reactor, and it is not. We have plenty of evidence of that.
And it also assumes that there can be dust accretion on the surface of the sun, which can't happen in a plasma. You can't get any solids to go onto it. You can get shit to blow off but not come onto it. Right. And so if it were nuclear yeah, you'd be able to do that and then you would actually see particulate dimming caused by the particulate between you and that former nuclear source.
But it doesn't work that way. So we're not seeing that. We're not ever going to have a micronova. They're reading the evidence entirely wrong and the guy is really squirrely. His suppositions are huge and unfounded.
So no, we're not going to have micronovas anyway. So our son is moving through this way. This is the kind of thing that affects time relative to us. And it may be there's a lot of these little plasma tubes, by the way, they're all inter linked and laced like spaghetti in a big pasta pot, right? You're going to follow them all the way down and they're going to run across other spaghettis as you go along.
It may be possible for suns and planets and stuff to move from one plasma tube to another if there were a cojoined area where they where such a thing might be possible. No way of knowing this, right? But what we do know is that the other let me put it in orange here. The other plasma tubes swirling through space do cross and they also do coincide for some periods of time with the with others. So so it's very much a jumbled up mess.
And so we were in a period here where there were the two in my opinion, there were two plasma tubes that were doing this kind of thing, right? Hang on a second.
They're doing this kind of a thing where they're so close and so we would just share a small chunk like that, and they're so close that we get an energy bleed through. So that the energies that we had been encountering as our sun was going through its tube and dragging us are being impacted by an energy bleed through for the period of time that we share. Concurrency a conjunction. And so there's some level of bleed through. This affects the local space that we're traveling through during that period of time.
And it affects time because it affects humans. So the energies bleed over from one plasma tube into another. The energies within our plasma tube are changing continuously as we go through various regions of space. In any event, we're encountering different stuff, different kinds of gases and material that causes our sun to radiate out different spectra, different portion of the spectra. When I was born and for a large majority of my life, the sun was yellow.
Not like the bluish white it is now. It was yellow. It was a nice, pleasant yellow. You could be out there for eight, maybe 9 hours in that yellow sun in the far north and maybe you'd get a little bit of an effect on your skin in terms of a sunburn. When I was in the south as a kid under that yellow sun, I could be out swimming on the beach for five or 6 hours, the first time in spring without raising any kind of a significant sunburn.
And this was the way it was with most people. It has gotten intense. The intensity of the sun has increased as my life has grown long, right? So now in my in my advanced age here at 68, the sun is no longer yellow. So I'm not living in the same universe I was born in.
So we have advanced through some area that changed the nature of the sun. Now, NASA and astrophysicist and I know some of the fuckers and all of those academics will tell you that our sun is a variable star, okay? As though their entire assumptions, all they're thinking is that it is entirely internally driven by something that's happening in our sun. And they make up huge amounts of stories to support this idea and the complications that are going on within our sun that would supposedly cause it to be variable on its own. And I say bullshit.
It's like a tig torch. If I'm welding with a tig torch here in a regular atmosphere, I get one kind of an effect. If I go into a helium box, I get a different kind of an effect because the nature of the torch has changed within that gas arrangement. That's why our sun changes, is because the nature of the energies it encounters change and therefore its plasma changes. It has no will of its own, no internal mechanism within the sun itself that would cause or that can be thought of as a causal agent.
That's horseshit. So it's because we travel through the space that our sun is variant. It is widely variant because we go through a lot of fucking space. So it may at some point be 100% blue or a green star, for all I know, simply because of the nature of the gases we might be getting into.
So anyway, we've got all of the powers that be trying to control everything we got.
The time aspect of this is significant because humans are time animals, unlike most of the other animals, except for those we mess with dogs, horses, those kind of large predators and large herbivores. Most animals are not timely. They live in the now. They don't have big, strong memories. They can't think into the future and so on.
And even within the animals, we deal with dogs and cats and so on. Most of them are not able to project very far into the future, unlike humans. And so I can anticipate, for instance, that next Thursday I'm going to get ups, delivery, that sort of thing, right? This kind of a concept is beyond that, for the animals to anticipate not only a different day because they always live in the now, but also that there would be an event that could be pre planned for that day. So humans are unique in that we're timely animals.
The time aspect is influenced by this. We feel time differently in these areas of different energies. This is why everybody's thinking, oh, it's really shitty now. We got these bat shit powers that be doing things, trying to kill people with this, with their war, their needle war, and basically, what the hell is going on? Well, we could put motivation and intent behind it, and we could say that universe has decided that we should, as a species, go through certain events now, and this is a valid way to think about it, that karma is collective, and karma motivates and moves us.
We need to clear it off. It builds up. Karmas are little lumps of unfinished business that are attached to you, right, at an energetic level. And then you have many of them. You have karma.
Anyway, our collective karma is such that universe may have decided that this is time we've got to go through this particular thing where we're going to be doing some extreme testing, all right? So we are in a very the species is in a very deep period of testing. And this is serious testing, not trivial at all. So you can go to, like, karate classes, right? You take your kid to the karate class, and they're a little shrimp kid, and they go and they put on the little gee, and they go out there and they make the moves sort of like this.
And then at some point, they're asked to test, and they have to remember the moves and go and perform them in front of everybody else. And it accomplishes a bunch of things, right? Gets you over your shyness, so to speak. It socializes you, causes you to try and remember the moves in a particular order. And then you also get the sense of achievement when you get whatever it is, the advancement, the little indicator of rank, of accomplishment.
And so that kind of testing is basically what most humans do through all of their lives, okay? The testing has consequences. The testing can be dire. The testing can be serious, but in general, it's not a deadly testing, right? So there are karate courses where they don't test.
There's karate schools where you don't test because all you learn is lethal moves. Same thing with Aikido. You can go and do Ikea Jujitsu and there will be no tests because everything is so carefully scripted in the learning of it and getting the body memory, because all you're learning is a lethal move, how to kill. And so you can't practice that, right? You can't test that.
And so in those schools, usually it's all black belts, anybody anyway, that have gotten to that point. And so they've gotten over the need for testing to some degree. Well, humanity is in this testing now, and we're being tested in a situation of loyalty on all sides. So we now have a situation where the loyalty of all of the patriotic people in all of their various different countries and globally and so now is being tested against the powers that be, against the CCP, against the bioweapon, all of these kind of things. And so now we have all of the people that we would say are patriots.
But we really need a new word because I now share a bond with people in Ireland and France and Australia who are not in my country and not necessarily in my lineage of patriotsy and thus are not patriots to my country. Usually the idea of patriotism is assigned to a geographic region. So you're a patriot to the country, right? So we need something bigger because these are patriots to humanity. So everything we're fighting against here in the United States is also applicable in Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Finland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, everywhere.
Right. Excuse me. Czech Republic. Old thinking, we're at that point. But the patriots, the people that are loyal to humanity, are throughout all of these places and are not bounded by geographic regions.
So now we get into some really interesting complications.
Okay? So humans have had clocks for a long time. We have to do a little diversion. Okay? So we've had water clocks.
They they've got examples of water clocks and sand clocks going back four or 5000 BC. There are some interesting scratches in petroglyphs that appear to show both water clocks and sand clocks. And if they are as concurrent as the rest of the petroglyphs in the rock, they might be ten or 12,000 years old. So clocks go back way to hell. But we haven't had modern clocks for very long, curiously.
All right? So we reckon time, and over the course of centuries, our notion of how we reckon time has altered and we've become more precise in the sense of dividing it into further slices and slices. So initially in Europe, in like the twelve hundreds, maybe even 800 Ad, through into the maybe through into the as far as like twelve or 1300, there were public clocks in the form of mechanisms that rang church bells at particular times of the day. They were usually just driven by the clock part of it was just driven by water or a very significant flow of sand. I've even seen examples where they would have animals that were powering grain mills.
So, like, a donkey that just walked around all day powering a grain mill, and people shoved grain in there to grind it and stuff. They also used those mechanisms as timers. Basically, we didn't get the public clocks until, like, the 1005 hundreds. And curiously, they went the other way so that the clock face was reversed from the modern understanding of the circular clock face. But even then, they didn't have minute hands.
And when they had minute hands, it was wildly inaccurate. You would have clocks vary by hours from one part of the country to the other. So they were basically a local public time. Now we've got serious public time because it's global. It's through our watches, it's through the computers, and it has its own level of impact on us.
To have time running at that level and affecting our brains the way it does, in the sense that we are aware of time in a way that that our primitive ancestors were not. We are aware of time in a way that our more recent ancestors, even 40 or 50 years ago, were not. Right? Someone who passed 50 years ago, most of their life was spent in a period where time was less of an issue for them. They regulated their lives on a far lower scale relative to the artificiality of how we think of time, how we sliced and diced it.
All right, so when watches first became invented, they were chronometers. They were used for steering ships from one point of longitude to another point of longitude. You can get latitude off of the sun, but longitude you need to do by time and distance moved. So you need two watches and stuff. These were chronometers, and they were serious timepieces accurate.
Now, as watches evolve, it became obvious to some of the watchmakers that they could, oh, look, we can use these same little geared mechanisms and stuff in this watch to do some other function. So we can put, for instance, a stopwatch in there that we just go click, and the little mechanism starts whirling around up there, right? And so that is what is known as a complication. And so that's really the first effective use in our social order of complications outside of a religious bent. And I'm not going to go there today, okay?
But a complication was a mechanism that was added to some other mechanism. It was an influence added to some other influence at a deliberate level. And thus we started off once we started inventing complications, our world became complicated, and we had to maintain the complications in their own fashion. So in other words, you had to do this such that your complication didn't affect the watch itself. So you couldn't have the watch itself to stop when you turned on the stopwatch or any of the other functions of modern watches.
Right now it's all digital, it's all in software and we've got our own set of complications from those and non functioning complications that we call bugs and glitches and so on, right? But the originally complications were thought of as the word was used as a technical descriptor. It was one of our very first technical words, one of our very first words that was taken from general parlance and used for a specific technical purpose in tech speak to allow people to communicate about technology. And it was about the various different kinds of complications you could put as layers into a watch. Now complications, their maintenance becomes an issue when they have the potential to break the underlying mechanism that they are on.
Does that make sense? Right? So if I have a stopwatch up here that was highly complex, I'm just learning how to make watches and maybe I'm chiseling my gears out of big rocks or something, I don't know. But my complications start having an extra weight on the underlying mechanism just because they are there in those senses. I have to be aware of that as the maker of that system and be able to do maintenance on the whole thing to keep the system itself functioning.
And we are at this point now where the makers of the system are failing to keep the complications maintained and they're breaking the system. All right? So their little stopwatches, all of their little mechanisms are breaking all of their systems because of the nature of what's going on, because the loyalty aspect of the time we're in. So we're in a time now, November into early December, where we're going to see all these things about loyalty. And so we're seeing this meme everywhere and being tested.
And so we've got the Kyle Rittenhouse thing. That's a big test. It's also a big thing about patriotism, loyalty, et cetera, et cetera. We're also getting the satanic weird ritual death sacrifice thing down in Texas that was an op in the sense of like spirit cooking and we're being tested with that now. By the way, as an aside to there, if you've been vaccinated and you have graphene oxide in you, we know graphene oxide responds to sound waves.
So in a large enough conference or in a large enough concert with enough radiation coming at you that the sound can actually be felt in your body, you're going to have that graphene oxide respond to that sound. And how much of that actually contributed to all of this, right, to the number of deaths and so on which we now hear it was quite a lot more than is being reported, of course. Right. So the complications of the lying of the fake news can no longer be maintained and now they're having to try and maintain all the complications just to keep their news system running. And so what they've actually ended up doing over here was that Biden had to slip in a way to fund the damn media by way of paying journalists this stipend to their employer to cover their cost, of keeping these people on the payroll so that CNN and all these other companies don't go out of business.
Because without that the deep state has no mouthpiece. They've got no way of getting anything out there in a quote believable fashion to any fucker. And even now their believability is just falling through the floor. So they're in a deep world of hurt. Their complication, the lying on top of the news system, the lying on top of that system is breaking down and it is causing the breakdown of the system underneath it.
That's where we're at right now is the breakdown of all these systems is being caused by the failure to maintain and think about the complications that have been put on each and every one of these systems. So the Federal Reserve is failing. The Pedro dollar is failing because of the derivatives and all of these other things. The bond system is failing because of Evergrand and its issues, its complications on the overall system. So we're in this point of maximum upheaval and maximum failure during this period of time because of all of these failures.
Due to these failures within their system, the system is becoming exposed and we now see the we now have the chance for humans to decide which side they're on and thus go into which test they prefer. And so that's basically what's happening here guys is that we're being offered chance by universe to be tested. Okay, sorry. I've got a brand new hat and I've got hat hair and hat head.
So anyway, our testing time is here. We're in it now and we'll be in it I think, for a number of months. It's not particularly predictable. This is part of the initiation process when we can say we're through this particular part of the testing we will know we have our feet solidly implanted in the initiation but we probably won't stop to examine ourselves at that point in time. We'll just pick up and go, right?
We'll just keep on with it. We'll just keep on keeping on. But we're going to go here. From this testing of loyalty to a balanced motion to a balanced progress to like deliberately balanced motion. You'll see examples of that as we go through the rest of this month and into December.
You'll see people that could be flying off the handle, could be going absolutely fucking bashed over, would be justified, all of that. And they'll take a weird stance insofar as the media is concerned and insofar as a public face is concerned because these people will be balanced in their response and they'll be like deliberately stepping 1ft after the other in a very controlled fashion, right? And this will be because these individuals know about complications they know about how these things work and they know about where we are in this timing. And so our woo is getting into the point of testing humanity. Now a lot of people are not aware and so they're going to be tested.
A lot of them will fail the test. A lot of them will die simply because they're not aware, right? So they're not actively choosing one way or another. We have a curious situation here. And then I've got to go and deal with some stuff, but I'll end it with this.
According to the corporate media, some 16%, this is on a poll, I guess, but they put this number out and I don't, I don't accept their numbers. And in my mind numbers don't numeracy is like a I don't give a shit about it, right? It's only pertinent if I'm going to make a saw cut on a chunk of wood or if I'm going to need to know accuracy in shooting my arrow or something to a particular distance and these kind of things. So in other words, numbers are only important as a tool to me. I don't have an internalization of the number as being significant.
That took me a long time to get rid of that because we're inculcated in that. So I'm going to say this number, but I don't believe it. I don't think that the number is meaningful other than I wanted to show the ratio. So basically they're saying, the mainstream media is saying 16% shall not so these are the refused nicks, they shall not have the shot. I'm among them.
I won't have that shot. You're going to have to come at me. I'm going to kill you in some mechanism, right? I'll kill you in some way if you come at me. I'm not going to have it.
Or you shall kill me and in which case I won't have it. You can jab my body all you want after I'm dead. So anyway, they're saying 16% are refusing. All right. So we're looking at 84% of our people that supposedly according to corporate media are in the narrative.
They're going for it, they're going to take these shots and so on. So a bunch of conclusions can be made that would mean that 84% of the people are at risk of dying off. 84% of the people are going to have massive health problems. This is why we're seeing the shift to pediatric cardiac care units showing up in hospitals, infant heart attack protocols being developed and all these kind of things, right? And the introduction of the heart attack drug into the kids shots.
So they know that if they give those kids the shots that this 84% is going to include all of these people that have all these kids that are all suffering from all of this problems of having this material injected into them, this bioweapon plus all of the other crap they're putting in there now. 16% represent the refusing x or the pure bloods. They won't have it. These guys, the ones that are in control, are saying, we must have those 16%. They have to do it for a couple of different reasons.
One of the more trivial, one of the more prosaic ones is that if you've got 16% of the population that's running around, not using masks, not vaccinated, and they don't get ill, it's going to make these other some of the other 84% say, hey, wait a second. I'm sick. I've got all these shots. Why do I feel so bad? And Joe over there, he never got that shot and he's doing well, he's running around and this kind of thing.
So that's one thing, right? It's going to point out the obvious nature of the, of the war in which we're in to those who are not awake. Another thing that is going to happen is that the 16% are going to be healthy and the 84% are going to be weak and ill and dying. And so it'll be hard for you to recruit people out of this group that will be able to overcome this group in a physical confrontation. And so of this 84% antifa BLM, all of these kids, you know, they're injected and they're fucked.
I've seen them, I'm seeing them in my local area, and these kids are suffering the, the exertion and tolerance as young people in their twenty s. And it's quite shocking. And you know, the double jab really does it. It's that second shot that really gets them. Anyway.
So another thing to, to point out here is that this 84% is going to go away and we're only going to have the 16% left. Assuming that these numbers were valid. And it's a bunch of horseshit in my opinion, they, they're selling things with these numbers, but they are saying basically that there is some small amount of people, relative to a large amount of people that have taken the vax. And I'm not even sure that that's valid. It may be maybe that the number of people that I actually taken the vax is smaller than I know.
It's smaller than anybody is saying, but how much smaller than that, I don't know. Nonetheless, though, here's the thing. The refusenix will overcome the larger mass of humans, but we're at this point now, we're in our journey through space, sitting on this rock and through all these strange circumstances. We're at a point now where loyalty to either of the crowd is being tested. We don't have a whole lot of loyalty developing over here in the jab, especially now that all of the shit starting to stir in their mind as to what's going on.
I mean, these satanic killing of the kids. Now what if we start seeing a jet flies over a school and all the kids that are vasted get into a sympathetic resonance with the electromagnetic and the sound frequencies coming. Out of that jet engine and they all pass out or die. That kind of shit is going to happen with this material and we're already seeing the collapse of the hospital systems and these sorts of things. So they're desperate.
The rulers here are desperate to keep the narrative going by overcoming the non, overcoming the refusinics and keeping shit on the refusinics. But at this point we have universe basically providing us with a test for refusing as well as for the jab. A lot of these people are going to defect and I don't think any of these people are going to. And this level of tenacity of commitment to a resolve is going to be visible, is visible now in many different public areas, but will become more so as we go forward. And it is that level of commitment, that level of resolve that will lead us into that next step, which is basically the joy of action, the joy of balanced action, being able to move and make things happen as opposed to having been stifled by circumstances into a state of forced inactivity.
So we're just about to bust out here and I think we'll see this over the next 45 or 60 days somewhere in there. And we're seeing it with the economics, we're seeing it with the collapse of the Bond system and all of these kind of things. And we're getting into the complications period where all the complications are going to break on all of their systems. I go into the system of Systems approach and Complexity theory as to why this is happening, but it's just not pertinent. All we need to know is at this point that it is happening and we can observe it.
And the thing to do is to remove yourself as much as possible from all these systems that are collapsing so that you are not personally affected or as minimally affected as is possible anyway. Guys, it's raining. Lake Hell weather systems are collapsing. We're seeing a lot of that impacts as well. Massive rains here for like the last 32 days basically been raining every day, that sort of thing.
That part of it is going to get worse. But we're getting to the point where there will be the availability of emotional release through action as the demands are made on us of all of this testing, as we go further into this initiation process, into being human, right into becoming and being aware and awake humans. It's not easy. It's a real bitch. Go read Thinking and Destiny by Harold Percival.
There's a free PDF online. It's 1080 pages. It is not an easy read, but it is one of the more intriguing and rewarding books to read.
The number-one best-selling pioneer of "fratire" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys. Whether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, experts Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller have spent the last 20-plus years learning what women really want from their men, why they want it, and how men can deliver those qualities. The short answer: Become the best version of yourself possible, then show it off. It sounds simple, but it's not. If it were, Tinder would just be the stuff you use to start a fire. Becoming your best self requires honesty, self-awareness, hard work, and a little help.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.
Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.
This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.
Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere
Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.
Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.
Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.
The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.
In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.
A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.
What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World
By Gary Vaynerchuk (Author)
New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.
From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.
The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.
From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.
Tesla's main source of inspiration. Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice
Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa. TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.
How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High
The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.
The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.
Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."
The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.
Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.
Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.
The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal
In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.
Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.
At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?
RFK Jr: 23.5% GREATER likelihood of dying - 09-06-2023
The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.
In this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order.
Based on a series of case studies—including the media’s dichotomous treatment of “worthy” versus “unworthy” victims, “legitimizing” and “meaningless” Third World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars against Indochina—Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media’s behavior and performance.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.
Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth. Aliens? Former earthlings? Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet? Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies. Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed. Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible. The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.
Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.
This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.
Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":
Tensegrity
Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.
Vector Equilibrium (VE)
The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.
Closest Packing of Spheres
Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.
To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.
Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:
Biosphere :
- Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
- He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
- One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.
It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:
Noosphere :
- The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
- Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
- In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
- The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.
Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.
It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.
Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.
A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.
William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.
Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.
First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.
All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.
At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.
Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:
- Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
- Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
- Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
- Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.
In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.
Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.
The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.
The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.
Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.
With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.
One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.
The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.
- The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
- Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
- The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
- The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
- The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
- The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.
The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.
The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.
This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.
Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.
This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.
Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.
The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.
The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.
