School of Dead Men - 04-05-2023
Hello humans, hello humans.
Later in the day starting to head out to the coast again. Still in downtown traffic here. Anyway, wanted to talk about something that was non, well, sort of financially related in a weird way, but mostly not.
We used to call it the School for the Recently Dead. Or recently deceased. That was. It also called the School of Dead Men. And it's a concept here that originates from the first, from the process of ingesting psychedelics and going to hyperspace.
Okay? So this is not something that is easily fit into words. And words will never do justice to the thing they're attempting to describe. They will fail miserably. But it's all we've got are words to attempt to do this in the past, people attempting to express this would draw it on the cave walls like shaman and stuff, right?
And there's some really good examples in northwestern Mexico on these caves over near the coast of just this idea of the School of Dead Men or the School for the Recently Deceased, which is our more modern version of it. And there are symbols for this that you find all over the planet. Wherever anybody has done psychedelics to the degree that they actually go to hyperspace, the people have invariably, inevitably, as I am now, have attempted to relay part of that experience to others. And so we find these images all throughout caves and rock walls, anywhere there was a quasi permanent surface to work off of. We find that the shaman, the voyagers, those people that journey to hyperspace would record their journey.
So you see these same images in Australia, you see them in the Maori caves in the forests in New Zealand where they were there with psychedelic mushrooms, philosophy cubensis mushrooms, see it all over the place, right? In the South American Southwest. You'll see it in Arizona, New Mexico, in cave walls etched in on the sides of rock surfaces here and there, wherever there was an encampment. And people would do these drugs. And some people are able to get to hyperspace, I don't know how many, right?
It's a rarity even among those people that do journeys in using psychedelics. I think personally that it requires a certain type of mentition. You have to be a certain type of a thinker. And I think that it requires, and I'm pretty sure about this, that it requires really substantial doses, right? Like shamanic levels.
And so the process that you go through is after the ingestation of it, maybe it's a half an hour, right? And you'll go through this through the onrush of it, the peak of the experience starting and all of this. But before you get there, if you've taken shamanic level doses, you will experience dying, all right? So your body will dismember itself in front of your eyes and in your vision and in your mind while the drug is taking you over and starting to accelerate you in towards hyperspace. And so the effect is a death.
And you feel this. And so we see these symbols carved into rock walls, et cetera, scratched into cave walls and then painted over and repainted over and redone and perfected and so on, with each of the various different journeys you take and you become more accustomed to it, you try and get more of the idea crossed. And they worked on these images. And so the images are not replicated for any other purpose. So some things you can see an image or a symbol that might be used for various different kinds of things depending on the culture.
In this case, I don't think that any culture has ever used these images for anything other than this purpose, which is to basically describe what it's like to go to hyperspace. And so when you take a shamanic level of the drug, you will die and you will feel your body literally separate. And that's the image. And so frequently you'll see the image as a prone human figure that's been chopped up. No, it's not about a sacrifice, right?
Wherever these images are, you don't find human sacrifice kind of things sitting around. So all of the giant human sacrifices in Mesoamerica where they would kill 10,000 people, cut out 10,000 hearts in a day to appease the god, that kind of thing, right?
All of which, by the way, if you get in and look at the history of it and go through and read the transliterations and all the stuff that's been written, those poor mesoamericans were having to feed space aliens their adrenochrome, and they do this through the abdomen fats and the fats around the liver and the spleen and stuff. Those are taken out and specifically burned in a particular way. And there's all kinds of stuff within the Mesoamerican culture, including stuff they were forced to mine that had no other purpose other than the creation of the oxidized adrenaline or Adrenochrome. Anyway, though, Mesoamerica was as trashed by these space aliens as were the people in the Middle East, the people in India, et cetera. Wherever these aliens landed, they wanted to literally smoke the adrenochrome out of the fats of the abdomen of human children and women, primarily men, don't have as much.
And our adrenaline tends to be used up and excreted because of the nature of our muscle mass, which is not the case with women and children. Anyway, so you see these images in Capes, and I've seen them myself, I've seen them in North America and in Mexico. Mexico is in Central America, most of it. But anyway, so I've seen these images of the prone human figure where their arms are separated into chunks and their hands are separated from the body, et cetera. All the major parts of the body are all separated by space, as though it had been chopped up, intending to give the indication that that's what this person had experienced.
And having experienced that myself, that is exactly what it feels like. It feels as though your body is totally disintegrating and it'll feel like it's separating into chunks. It's not really, you're just sort of involved with the onset of the hallucinations at that point and it's overtaking your body. That part happens fairly quickly. It happens faster with the synthetics than it does with the organic psychedelics synthetics like LSD, LSA, some of these others, they're fairly rapid onset.
So it's a anyway though, so when you have that experience and your body disintegrates, that is the prelude to the shift into hyperspace. Now I've been with lots of people that have taken psychedelics. I've been to psychedelic raves, I've been to giant psychedelic parties before that. And not many people will take psychedelics in effective shamanic doses. And so most people that in my opinion, most people that take psychedelic drugs don't go to hyperspace.
And of those who do, the effect is always reported as the same as going through the process of the death, right? And so this is why we called the voyage to hyperspace as going to the dead man school or going to the school of dead men. When you're in hyperspace, you learn stuff and you learn more stuff than you can properly fit in your mind during the process of the experience. So during the journey stuff happens. You're aware of some of it, you have some knowledge you've learned right then and there.
But the amazing part is that over the next weeks, months and years, you will still continue to have new insights and recover memories and recover memories of stuff you were taught in hyperspace. And over the period of years it starts all making sense, right? It all starts connecting over this period of time. Now, from my journeys to hyperspace, I know that all of the people doing physics, especially all of the Ashkenazi Jews, okay, all of the people doing physics have a wrong understanding of what they're doing and they all, especially the Jewish guys, especially the Ashkenazi, who are judaism is basically a form or it accommodates atheism, okay? And there is no word for God in the Torah.
It's all about the space aliens, the L. But there are within the physics part of the Ashkenazi group that thinks they're scientists and they're going on out and studying all of this kind of stuff. Within the physics part, it has been really fucked up by Einstein and his ilk. General relativity and quantum mechanics is 100% bogus and all of the mathematics that they use to support it is fiddled. So whenever they do an experiment, they always go back and retrofit the math to actually match the experimental results that came out.
So it's all corrupt. It's all basically a con job. And quantum mechanics and general relativity are not producing anything for us in the way of science, aiding us with fundamental new breakthroughs. All of humanity has been stymied, since we were forced by the Khazarians to laud Einstein over Tesla, there was a big battle in the make Tesla pariah and to pump up Einstein as the anti Tesla. And it worked because the Khazarians, the Ashkenazis, owned the media, and so they were able to pimp this idea out and just ignore Tesla basically.
Anyway, though, their failure is that the majority of the Jews that I see in physics lean towards atheism, okay? So they're the atheistic, so they're sort of participatory Jews. They do some of the rituals and this kind of stuff, but they're not deep into it. They're not living under the heel of the rabbi telling them how to do stuff. Bear in mind, rabbis are judges.
They're not like priests. They're not a pastor per se. They're not a guru. They're a judge. They're an enforcer anyway, though.
So because of that atheism, in my opinion, they never, ever deal with consciousness as an aspect of universe and of course, obvious, and they just assume consciousness is entirely located in us, within the material. And so they have all these assumptions that are not valid. Their assumptions relative to consciousness and how it originates and so forth, are informed by Judaism, which leads them astray, leads them in the wrong way. So all of their theories, none of this stuff, in my opinion, none of the Ashkenazis that I've seen that are involved in physics today, will ever have primary fundamental discoveries because of the way in which their minds have been informed and the way they think about our reality. So you have to understand that there's two huge conditions that exist within the Jewish social order that people just don't really grasp.
And one is that the Talmud has as its basis an exclusivity of content that is the Talmud. The Talmud does not basically allow any thoughts that are not within it to have any importance. So it denies all reality that is not put within the Talmud itself, excepting the base of rabbinical knowledge. And so if you read the Talmud, it goes in and it talks about Rabbi So and so and what he did and so on, and their thoughts and some of them write some of these things and this, but there's all these big assumptions because they are essentially writing for people like themselves that have this have been through the rabbinical schooling process and have a base level of knowledge that is just simply not openly stated within the writings and is assumed and referenced obliquely and sometimes referenced directly, but without ever stating what the reference is going to. So it's really cool in a way of keeping deep inner knowledge away from outsiders, because unless you've gone through the schooling and stuff, you're missing maybe a third of all of the basic assumptions, right?
And so you'll never really understand it. But because of the nature of the Talmud and because of the nature of the document, how it originated around the Torah and the fact that the Torah has nothing in it about God or religion and is only about these Space Aliens and what we had To Do what The Judeans had To Do to Survive them because Of The Book was Written That Way and the circumstances, it Has This Inherent Flaw, and that Is that It Doesn't reference or it's not self referential. And so the Torah doesn't actually say that this book was written by so and so. Right? It doesn't have its own origin story encapsulated within the information, within the Torah itself.
And that origin that it has locked up in the rabbinical knowledge is basically atheistic and does not acknowledge the greater level of consciousness. So it is factual to say that the Talmud and in my reading of it, in stuff I've come across so far, would not allow the idea that we are all encapsulated little bits of consciousness being shoved down into the matrium to do stuff.
It would allow that consciousness developed in the matrium and that somehow this consciousness is different from, but will return to the God that is not referenced in the Torah. Right? So there's all kinds of references to gods in the Talmud, but to God and gods. But it doesn't really connect back to any language within the Torah because there is none. So this is a really weird situation where these ashkenazis don't come from the precept that consciousness exists.
Consciousness at writ large not only exists, but is all pervasive. So they might think that about God, but they're not going to acknowledge that the material is within consciousness, et cetera, et cetera, right? So they have, in my opinion, an ass backwards way of thinking about it. Thus we get Einstein, which is his general relativity is just totally bogus and wrong. And then they come up with quantum mechanics to try and make it all work and that makes it worse.
And it starts getting into all of these irrational numbers and shit. And you get people that develop like the unified geometry shit. That mathematics that Eric Weinstein comes up with. Absolutely useless to doing anything. It'll never ever provide us with a fundamental breakthrough that will allow us to engineer squat.
So anyway, though, it is their fundamental atheism that makes the situation the way it is now, where they think of the materium as dead, where they think of as rocks as dead and dirt is dead and mountains are not animated matter, okay? So they don't understand that all matter is basically the same and that the only difference between sand and us as matter is the degree of consciousness that's bound into us relative to the sand. But sand, even so, still has some level of consciousness because it is basically a crystallized, so to speak, form of the consciousness that is all pervasive, just as we are animated versions of that consciousness bound into matter such that we might do things now it's the doing things that we're supposed to to be here for, right? This is a school. So from the vantage point of hyperspace, you understand that where we are at now is basically the school for dead men.
We're just not yet dead. Or the school for men who were recently deceased and now are no longer deceased because they're in with a new life. And so in this school, this Earth, this materium, there are lessons that we have to go through. These lessons are individual. So everybody gets their own set of lessons, right?
Sometimes you might share some lessons with some people. Everybody in a company in war will experience some level of commonality, but even then, their experience is going to be individuated. And it has to do with the nature of the material and the nature of what consciousness is doing here as an experiment. So we get the consciousness denying atheistic approach from the ashkenazis who dominate because of the Khazarian influence. They dominate science because the Khazarians must dominate science so that they can control everything.
They're all about control. That's why they invented woke to slice and dice humanity by all these different things. So they can control us by pitting us against each other, by gender, race, height, number of toes, all this kind of thing. So anyway, consciousness denied as the basis for everything means that you will never discover an actual theory of everything that is meaningful. And there are many people that don't buy into the consciousness denied part.
Now, I've put a link on my Twitter feed to a new video that's out just dropped the other day about Cozy Rev's time experiments at the North Pole. Now cozy. Rev Was A Russian Scientist.
He was denounced as a counter revolutionary and thrown into Gulag for ten years, for 20 years. But they let him out ten years early. And he gets out, and he'd been thinking the whole time, right? He's a theoretical physicist, probably the best in the world at that time, certainly, but maybe ever. And he was thinking about things, and he came to the same conclusion that I had, that time is a fundamental force.
Now, he and I differ in how we consider time, okay? And how we think about time and so on. He thinks of the universe, the materium here, and time as being steady state existence. And I don't think there's any steady state anywhere in reality, and certainly not in our matrium, and certainly not within time. I think of all of this stuff as just flashing into and out of existence so fast that we perceive it as continuous, solid and constant.
Where it is continuous, it is solid, perceptibly, but it's simply not constant. It just flashes in and out of reality, or reality flashes into existence and then fades out.
So Cozy Reb's idea of time was solid state. In his experiments, he developed this idea that you could alter the angle of incidence of time through a mirror. And so it seems funny, but he made a mirror that altered time and people participated in experiments with it. And it's all quite fascinating, the number of people in the experiment, the results they had and so on. And I can explain all of the effects that we see from the Cozy Rev mirror, from what they call Cozy Rev space, which, because of the nature of this mirror, you got into it, you walked into this spiral and inside the spiral, sort of like a house of mirrors, kind of an effect.
And within there you would experience time in a different way. And the longer you were in there, the more deviants in the time you would experience. So if you're only in there for a few minutes, you might actually see a UFO, you might see an apparition that might look like a ghost, you might have some very great mental effects here of fear, all different kinds of things. But it would be relatively brief and it would happen fairly, fairly quickly. Once you were in there, if you just went on in there and stayed there and went through all of these things.
Very much like a journey to hyperspace, where you simply endure because you have no choice, because you've ingested the drug and it's in your system now. But if you did that within the Cozy Rev space, you would get to the point where you would experience yourself in another age. And this was consistent. So in my opinion, what this was doing was not affecting time the way that most people would expect. It did affect time the way that Cozy Rev expected if you read his writings, but not the way that most people would expect, but it was also affecting your consciousness, okay?
And that's primarily where the impact was being perceived. And so some of these people were in there for hours, and they would like, in the last hour and a half or 2 hours of it if we thought of it as like a psychedelic trip, then they would have the experience of, say, living in ancient Rome. Right? Or riding with Tommyjin in the Mongolian horde. So this kind of thing and they would have that experience, a moment by moment kind of experience.
So living it in near real time, very realistic, and it might go on for an hour and a half or so and then it would fade and your body would not be able to tolerate it anymore. And you'd leave the mirror all different kinds of effects, but consistently within a boundary set of effects that everybody had. So all different kinds of symbols were presented and everybody saw these same kind of symbols, or most of them saw the same kind of symbols, even though everybody's interaction with the mirror was individually anyway. So I'm with cozy rev, right? Time is a force that was in the material and in my opinion, very little else exists other than time because of the nature of all of this stuff happening.
Now, as I say, he had the idea of a steady state. So his idea was that you could go to the North Pole because there was ice there that was potentially thousands of years old. It had time encapsulated in that process. Now, he's correct that every every instance of turning water to ice actually encapsulates some time within the water. Water has an affinity to time, and time has an affinity to water.
I won't go into the details, okay? So I'm actually pursuing on my own experiments around these ideas of time that are my version of cozy rev's, time concentrator. Now, I'm not going to which is what his mirror really was. It wasn't a reflector. It was a concentrating spiral.
Okay? So I'm working with other metals than cozy rev used and other processes, but I'm still working towards what we could think of as like a time accumulator. His was a time concentrator. Mine's going to be more of an accumulator, and I think that this is going to be the approach to generate what we would think of as free electricity. It's going to be really fucking expensive to start producing that first watt, but thereafter you won't have any more expense to produce it because it's fuelless.
But even beyond that, the accumulator approach, I believe, will get us to the point where we can do travel outside of time. It gets real complicated. I'll go into that at some point, if anybody gives a damn. But any event, though, so I'm getting some stuff sent to me.
I won't go into the details on that. I'm doing it all legally and stuff. The materials I'm using are not radioactive in the main, and I have legal possession of them and so on. I purchase these for my experimentation purposes. So I'm kosher, I'm legal, but I'm on the edge of our current reality in terms of the thinking about what might be possible.
So out here on the coast, I'm going to start doing my little time experiments, and maybe I'll actually be able to come up with a device. Because it turns out the technology to do things relative to time is not that complex. It requires a level of precision, a level of exquisite understanding of what you're doing, but it doesn't require a whole lot of giant gear like the Large Hadron Collider and that sort of shit, right? These fuckers won't be able to the LHC, the CERN and the Large Hadron Collider won't be able to do shit with their machinery. Got an idiot on the side of the road.
So they're never going to be successful with any of their stuff. I don't know what the fuck they're doing anyway. But they're exploring quantum mechanics, so we know they're doomed to failure because quantum mechanics is a bogus idea. And they've been fucking with the math for the past 50 years to keep trying to convince us that it actually works. That's starting to come out.
All of this kind of stuff is going to come out. By the way, all of the bogus science and all that kind of shit will come out over these next few months, if you're paying attention. It won't really sink in. Most people don't give a shit about physics, that kind of thing. But it will come out.
And the communities will be in an uproar as the money goes away and they won't be able to bribe people in the magazines and the libraries and schools and this kind of colleges and this kind of thing. So right now we've already had the money collapse lead to the commies jumping up and down in Stanford Law School and causing these justices problems. And well, the Justices said, okay, fuck it. We're not going to hire any Stanford Law grads to work in our courts because they're teaching this woke shit, not teaching law. They're not teaching these people to be effective humans.
They're teaching them to be tranny. Fox right. And to be brown shirts and cause social engineering. And so now we're getting the pushback all around need to go into that much more. But in any event, though, so over these next few months, we'll have science come unglued the way that the law system here in the US.
Is coming unglued. So I'm hearing now that Washington State law students in two colleges are going to be put on the block in terms of denied access to jobs and stuff at two of these court systems because one or two of these judges got some shit from somebody and they've said, that's it. They're just not going to have it anymore. And so there's going to be a bunch of Washington State students that ain't going to get jobs. Some of them have already been promised.
So this is cool. We're coming to that level. I expect that the physics community is going to go totally crazy starting this summer. Maybe it'll be July or August. And then also coincident with that, the Khazarians have to bring out the UFOs.
And also, by the way, guys, UFO sightings are way the fuck up. I had this one guy tell me that he's in a position to know. He works with the military and he's up here at one of the universities. And he was saying that his reports were that just in general, we've had a 500% increase in 2023 over 2022. And 2022 was a banner year.
We had more than, than previous years. So something's up, right? So the UFOs are here and shit's happening. I think it's going to get ever so much more interesting as we go through summer and the degradation that will be caused, which is necessary and I think is actually perfect that we have this level of degradation. Okay, so we have to destroy all of the crap that's been put on us last hundred years, since Einstein.
And we got to get rid of that structure that was supported by the Khazarians that is basically making us all crazy because it is not reflective of reality. So just as there is no trans, there is no general relativity, it's this made up thing that they're trying to make you believe is factual and exists anyway. So the school of dead men going into hyperspace teaches you that there is only consciousness. So the shamanic experience in that regard would have been very good for any of these people that are actually into the physics here that are coming up with new ideas or trying to come up with new ideas and stuff because it would have set the basis that everything is consciousness. And you have to start there.
You can't just simply deny it and say that all of the world is non conscious and matter is non conscious and so on. That's not true. If you removed all of consciousness, there is no matter, nor would it matter if you removed all of consciousness. So I'm at my next stop here and I've got to do some work. But the point of this is that the school of dead men, the school for the recently deceased, either way you want to look at it, right, is a very valuable tool, not only in the designing of theories of everything from a physics perspective, but also in living daily life.
And we'll get into some more of those lessons that you get out of that process.
Most of it is very simple and a lot of it is very practical and much of it is intuitive. But there are some non intuitive parts of stuff you learn going into hyperspace. But one thing you learn for sure is that hyperspace is consciousness. And you are there and you don't have your material body. It's lying in a cave somewhere, absolutely smacked out of perception.
You've opened the doors to perception with a psychedelic drug and you've left your body behind. And your soul, for that matter, you leave your soul behind, okay? Because the soul is intimately connected with the body and it's what maintains the body. Um, but in that process of going into hyperspace, absent the body, you are factually reinforcing the idea that hyperspace exists as consciousness, as vibration, as frequency. And if you get back to it, the world and every the material thing, the general relativity, quantum mechanics, all of that stuff is particles, okay?
They're looking for grit. They're looking for little tiny particles. And they'll find them because universe is accommodating and consciousness is accommodating and it will accommodate their looking for these little particles infinitely, and they'll always find some other particle that is smaller. None of them are matter. None of them do matter.
None of them are material to our interests, and none of them will ever aid in doing anything, all right? Because it's all. Consciousness. Therefore, because it's consciousness, it's the pulse. And thereafter, everything is a wave.
But you can see in the intersection of the waves, the particles if you want to see them, because consciousness is accommodating. But absent the understanding of consciousness, you're going to get a view that everything is grit, just glued together. Grit. And that's an entirely wrong perspective. And we will soon discover this as we go through into this summer and we'll start having this new renaissance.
It'll be tremendous. I mean, new inventions pouring out, new ways of thinking about all of this. As we dump general relativity, as we dump quantum mechanics. Quantum is not yielding anything other than Scams, nasara, Gessara, QFs, all of that kind of shit, right? It's all scams.
Nothing is there anyway, though. So we'll dump Quantum, and what is left is whatever we want to come up with, and we will default to a certain extent, I think back to an ether understanding, but that was flawed too. And I think Cozy Rev and myself are on the right trail here. And there's probably others. I haven't seen any.
I'm starting to get into the Sanskrit now, and I'm starting to explore some of the Sanskrit scientists.
There are quite a few of them. And so I will eventually come across somebody, I'm sure, that also has this concept. But go and look at that video about Cozy Ribs time experiments at the North Pole.
I put the link on my Twitter feed and on my true social, so you should be able to find it. Anyway, guys, I got to do real work now. Can't be blathering away all day. So take care. And don't assume that you should attempt to go to the school of the recently Deceased, okay?
This is not for everybody. I kid you not, all right? So if I could convince someone that their life would would be fine without going there and doing this, I would definitely do that, okay? It's not for everybody. And it is, um, a harsh intrusion of reality into your thinking that will affect you for all of your lives, not just this one.
And you have to bear that in mind. Anyway, guys, it's going to be a real interesting rest of the year, as promised, and May is going to be kick ass, and we should have some banks and shit crumble before we get there. So we'll talk to you next week. Bye.
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. Through their website and podcasts, Max and Miller have already helped over one million guys take their first steps toward Miss Right. They have collected all of their findings in Mate, an evidence-driven, seriously funny playbook that will teach you to become a more sexually attractive and romantically successful man, the right way: No "seduction techniques" No moralizing No bullshit Just honest, straightforward talk about the most ethical, effective way to pursue the win-win relationships you want with the women who are best for you. Much of what they've discovered will surprise you, some of it will not, but all of it is important and often misunderstood. So listen up, and stop being stupid!

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.
