With Gratitude…


Well, I don’t blog very often. I don’t know why I started...I guess it’s good to every so often. Anyway, something recently happened that kind of moved me, so I wanted to say a quick “thank you” to the good souls out there.

After 13 months at the same job as an Expo runner, (that’s the guy who runs plates of food out to the table, not the waiter) I was let go unexpectedly. Actually, I can’t say it was totally unexpected, because shortly after starting there about a month or so, Operation Birddog and it’s Satanic Filth followed me in there and started bothering everyone.

Over the last 13 months, I have missed exactly two days of work. I am not sick or accident prone and both of those two days were in the last two months, I think. Nor were they totally my fault. ANYWAY, when I went to pick up my paycheck “Bo” (not his real name and he is also our 3rd GM since I’ve been there) said that he was going to let me go because I didn’t know our table numbers or the food.

This isn’t correct. Shortly after starting work at the restaurant I was given the job and taking it from another fellow who had been working at the same position for some two years. Also, I had so much enthusiasm for the job that two or three of my co-workers joked that I might take there hours from them. I thought this was funny, but had no intentions of taking anyone’s hours or job. Futhermore, the customers seemed to like me a lot and I received a lot of compliments from them and so on…

What happened in that restaurant was Operation Birddog. It is demonic. I believe it’s Hollywood and the cops using this thing at their pleasure and at my expense. Pantomimes, gestures, eye contact that were awkward or weird were suddenly around as were other phenomena. I think things got to the point where the employees didn’t want the project in their restaurant even if Hollywood or the cops were sending new business in there while I was there. There was a lot of on the job harassment by my coworkers because that’s what the project wants so they can publish their pictures later. Unbelieveable. This level of thinking and creativity is pathetic. I have gone into detail elsewhere about the severity of this project on my mind and body and our society so I won’t do it again here.

Now we come to the point of this blog. I wanted to express a sincere thank you to the people who have been there for me throughout the last 13 years while folks in Hollywood and police stations accumulate charges: murder one, attempted manslaughter, aggravated assault, contempt of court, illegal incarceration, sexual assault, home invasion, illegal search and siezure, misuse of influence, harassment, illegal communication, illegal business union, racketeering, fraud, willful negligence and possibly many others.

During a cold winter in Phoenix, a window washing customer of mine gave me a couch to sleep on in his living room. About two years ago, another window washing customer of mine sent me $100 to help me get to my first job here in Skid Row (that would be McDonald’s and I had never been happier. No one has taken the taxes out of a paycheck in 13 years! It was great not to be working for myself for a change.) I sent her back $150 after a month or two on the job. When I was in Phoenix, my stepfamily--who all have fairly large nuclear families of there own--often gave me a couch or a space on the floor to sleep on temporarily; sometimes for several months.

There are more people and examples but I won’t go into detail here. The last thing that happened that I wanted to mention however was the appearance of what looked like a church group kind of people. This was laugh out loud funny to me. I don’t know if I’m making a mistake but I don’t think so. I can recognize those groups a mile away. They are very clean looking and healthy. They seemed to be spread out around me in some kind of circle. Everywhere I went, (I walk A LOT around Los Angeles, maybe five hours a day at least) they seemed to be not to far away, peeking at me or walking by or pretending not to be peeking at me and walking by.

Not sure what they were up to or how I got there attention, but if they were looking out for me, I must say, that caught me by surprise. I wanted to say thank you to all of you.

It is a blasphemy that people in Hollywood refuse to acknowledge me or help me. Even when there have been attempts on my life there was no help whatsoever. Despite using me without my permission, I have never received one dime in compensation. I have been used for THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF MEDIA. It’s just that they don’t use my face. That’s the loophole.

Same thing for the police. How strange that multimillionaire actors who live in a 20 bedroom,
22 ½ bathroom house won’t offer me a room or a space to sleep indoors. But they take the liberty of using me. Don’t I deserve a warning or some kind or compensation? I am missing a large portion of my life in homelessness not because of my background, but because someone wants to brag about stealing it from me.

No one in Hollywood or the Fraternal Order of Police have paid anything but they are the ones responsible for misspending some 40,000 years making infomercials for me that I don’t watch.
If you are wondering how I came up with the figure of 40,000 years, it’s posted in another blog. At a minimum I should be getting a stipend every month. My life shouldn’t be about such onerous, debilitating ordeals to find work and survive out here. They have given me myriads of problems that I can’t prove in a courtroom yet they don’t have to pay anything and apparently the FBI and US Attorney General won’t prosecute. I’ve seen pictures of Kamala Harris partying with Hollywood in their magazines. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned about the United States, Hollywood, and the FBI over the last 13 years. It was not what I was expecting at all; it was disappointing. They always have two personalities: one for the public and one for each other; one moral and one amoral as f***.

Even my 63 year old father was assaulted in the ICU as he was passing away. He was senile and innocent of any of this. They set this up in advance to “get a rise” out of me. Getting people upset is very important to them and schadenfreude is a principal form of entertainment, penalty, conversation, and jokes. Once you are sensitized to see it, you will notice they seek it insatiably, like a coke addict. Hence, all of the assaults on myself, imposing on others in homeless shelters, my coworkers at the restaurant and so on...They have no issues whatsoever with imposing on others and believe themselves to be “special”. And if they are “special” they get to pick on “non-special” people. They won’t be held accountable by “people who are not my equal” and are apt to not prosecute one another because of their codes. They don’t like to be made uncomfortable in any way and won’t hesitate for a nanosecond to make you uncomfortable or allow you to die so that there is “more for us!”. They often print subtext in their magazines implying hate, assault, slavery, contempt for you, and so on...

My father had bruises all over his body, likely from not being turned over (while in the hospital) and other problems. It was rumored to me that I was sent into homelessness not because of the accident with “Amber” some 20 years ago, but because some of my former friends and some in Hollywood were afraid I was going to become an actor or that they might run into me socially and they didn’t want that to happen. So they banished me to homelessness instead of helping me or acknowledging that I wasn’t guilty on sexual assault charges. Sure, no problem.

Well, it’s time to wrap this up. I wanted to say thank you again to all of you! Your kindness touches me and I am very grateful. The next few weeks may be kind of “rough” finding work but I’m sure things will be fine eventually. ALSO if you want to help or send a donation you can--I set up a paypal link that I will be using to support my gaming, blogging and webcasts:

Anything would help. It’ doesn’t have to be much. I will be experimenting with webcasting soon. Hopefully it will be worth your while. Probably not too often. We’ll see.

The Anti-Christ

THE ANTI-CHRIST

"You can do it!"

"Success is up to you!"

"What you can imagine and believe, you can achieve!"

Well, sometimes.

After a serious attack at my place of employment that left me psychologically paralyzed, I realized just how much control I DON'T HAVE over my life and you don't either.

When unscrupulous people are allowed to use Symbolic Systems (sometimes referred to as Skynet) you will learn that you can't control your own mind. You can't control your thoughts; you can't control how you feel; you can't control psychological harassment; you can't stop physical or unwanted "touching" (i.e. homosexual or pedophilia); you can't control how you feel physically; you can't do anything about collusion; you can't control how much sleep you get; you can't control how others respond to you or what they think about you; you can't control what people say to you or what they do around you in public; you can't control what personal information about you is circulated without your permission or where it goes...

When I dwelled upon my existential situation like the aforementioned, it left me thunderstruck and demotivated. I lost interest in keeping up with my studies and other routines. I can do everything right and still have everything turn out wrong because I am being "ghosted" by dirty cops or some corrupt group of people who get a kick out of doing these kinds of things.

I am feeling better and motivated again but with an improved map for the territory. The real solution to the problem is requiring and enforcing protocols for those who get remote access to others. You wouldn't allow a sex offender to become a gynecologist, would you? Why are we allowing unqualified people to use Skynet? Why does it take seven years of schooling to become a shool teacher or a psychologist or an attorney but seemingly no education whatsoever to get onto and use Skynet? When all of the cards are on the table, we require certain protocols for certain jobs but when no one is looking it appears there are no protocols.

Seven years of formal education before I can teach the kids how to write in cursive.

That's really a ridiculous situation but I can't do anything about it.

Poked with a Needle & Sidestepping the Obvious

NEEDLE POKES AND SIDESTEPPING THE OBVIOUS

So...At about four in the afternoon, I am standing at a street corner minding my own business, looking across the street for the signal to walk. I hear a voice from my left and a hispanic guy says something unintelligible, "...ey, Pappy?".  I look over and down to my left where he has crouched down to reach into his duffel bag for something when I hear small KLINK sound come from the lightpost that I am standing under. I didn't see the hypodermic needle tossed into the air, I just heard it when it hit the lightpost and poked me in the arm on it's descent to the ground.

"Ahhh!!" I yelped. I just got poked in the arm. I looked down at the thing and sure enough, it was a used needle. Something a diabetic or drug addict would use. The hispanic fellow says they use it around here to shoot heroin into their nose, and then he leans back pantomiming the act.

Not good. I am on my way to work and can't stop. I can't even be sure who threw it but I think it was the hispanic fellow but I DIDN'T SEE HIM THROW IT. And then of course the predictable horrors come to mind: Will I get AIDS? Hep-C? Herpes or something else? I once met a fellow in Phoenix who was about 22 years old who had part of his arm missing because he got gangrene from a piece of metal or something and he had to have part of his arm removed, without warning.

Well, long story short, I don't have AIDS or anything else from the needle poke. It takes two full weeks from an infection to a manifestation when it comes to HIV or Hep-C. I finally received the report from my Doctor and I have contracted nothing.

Over the last twelve years or so in homelessness for this project (Operation Birddog), I have...been poked with a needle, had a gun pulled on me after I went to an ATM in Phoenix, been jumped in Orlando for my wallet, had a box cutting knife pulled on me here in Skid Row and chased in circles around an automobile (not fun), I have been sucker puched for no reason  while waiting for the bus in Phoenix, had a girl put a sliver of metal (the shape of a fingernail but longer) in my sandwich at a Boston Market, had drugs put in my coffee, and if I begin to count assault charges by the police for this project, which I cannot do because it is literally several thousand assaults, it's really unbelieveable.

If you are wondering why there are so many assault charges on me, it's not because of my background, it's attempted manslaughter by some very powerful people--most likely Hollywood and the police who are working together on Operation Birddog. I'm just the birddog who gets thousands of instructions, ads, miles to walk, etc.

I am most likly supposed to be in the Federal Witness Protection Project taking the stand against them.

None of the aforementioned people in the preceding paragraph had ever seen me before and I didn't know them either. They were following someone else's instructions to attack me. I was recently attacked via Skynet and given welts on my back and abdomen area. I posted pictures on my Facebook page and Twitter. It was another instruction to "move".

SIDESTEPPING THE OBVIOUS

Which brings me to my next point. I was meditating on what it means to be an officer, a fiduciary and so on. You see, when you meet a police officer, an FBI agent, the President of the United States, a Hollywood celebrity, you know what to expect: a friendly, professional, cordial person.
But some people change radically when they can become anonymous.

With the Skynet (sometimes referred to as "Symbolic Systems") and the things it can do like telepathy, putting tactile sensations on a person's body, creating holograms, importing imagery onto the back of your eyelids, importing imagery into your imagination, simultaneous communication to multiple people, mind reading, forcing your eyes onto whatever the police want you to look at (you might not see it coming, but they could force your eyes onto a girl's boobs against your will), making muscles in the body clench or shiver--that could be a pectoral muscle or one of your cheek muscles and so on.

It occurs to me that there is a serious discrepancy here among some officers and celebrities that are heinous. They are literally sex offenders, guilty of assaults on the elderly (my Father in the hospital), witness tampering ( supposedly over Skynet. Everyone knows to give the same story but they have never spoken to each other face to face), criminal conspiracy, theft and so on.

"Criminal" was the obvious thing NOT to become. This was the obvious thing to sidestep but these people seemed to have walked and fallen into it head first. With Internal Affairs, a U.S. Attorney General, a State Attorney General, an FBI, an Inspector General, a CIA, a supervisor, an ACLU, a County Attorney, co-workers, even Skynet should be the ultimate deterrent for crime since your previous thoughts and actions can be found on it.

Instead, Skynet offers psychological and technological loopholes to accomplish crime. No witnesses. No proof. No evidence for a courtroom.

This is where the United States has failed miserably, selling the country (and police services) via politics to whoever has the money or Hollywood, or it's own agents, or an organization to sate (i.e. white supremacists, or democrats, etc.).

What should have been done is just the opposite: a country with a reputation for fairness, discipline, priveledges for those who qualify, as well as the end of all discrepancies and so on. Instead,  a reputation for health and cleanliness are going to places like Sweden and Denmark and other places that don't have our con artists and salesmen in their government.

-Nietzsche

*****

A Judeo-Christian being disciplined by the police should still be a Judeo-Christian when released. He is not to be (nor should he be) "broken". i.e. a pedophile, a homosexual (unless he's homosexual, lol), a deviant of some kind or a psychopath. He should not be neurotic or confused but wiser and ready to resume his path. Officers are assistant STEWARDS over sentient and sovregn property "owned" by itself.

*****

The photo above is from a recent attack on me via Symbolic Systems. People must think to themselves, I don't see anyone detaining this guy--but this is how the police incarcerate without trials, charges, or constiutional rights.

Everytime I post that I am unlawfully detained, Hollywood (who works for the Fraternal Order of Police, which includes all of our various agencies, I assume) responds with pictograms and messages in their media insinuating that I am incarcerated...

Me: I am being assaulted!!! Please help this is my twelph year detained in homelessness!

Hollywood: You're in jail!!!

Me: Then you have contempt of court charges!! Witness tampering!! Conspiracy!! Illegal Detention!!

Hollywood: Nope. It's a project. You're not in jail.

They continue spending tens of thousands of hours per year writing and performing various ads for me at a cost of several million dollars per year but I can't get the police to stop acting as though I'm incarcerated. I'm not supposed to be. Everyone who had a gripe with me in the past is satisfied by now to the best of my knowledge and was a long time ago. But the police keep publishing through Hollywood and (I assume) the money keeps changing hands.

I remain in homelessness. 

I'm A Gamer Now, Bee-yotch!!

I'm a gamer now, Bee-Yotch.

I had to take a break from the "PSYCHOLOGY OF ACHIEVEMENT" which I didn't conciously realize I was in: Following blogs, taking online classes, yoga, blogging, brain training, checking social media, going to work, learning Spanish, meditating, muy-thai, reading fifty books a year, intermittant fasting, working out at the gym, listening to podcasts, polyphasic sleeping, taking to many supplements...

I used to play First Person Shooter games on my Playstation years ago, but I am just now discovering the world of online competitve gaming. I discovered it by accident on my laptop. It comes with an XBOX inside! Woo-hoo Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft! (My old laptop didn't have that. That's what happens when you are forced into homelessness for twelve years so someone else (Hollywood, etc.) can brag about it.)

Anyway, after getting bamboozled for the umpteenth time by "Skynet", (it's psychic phenomena, tactile sensations, holograms, involuntary thoughts (dialouge and imagery) I sort of disengaged from the habitual world that I am "in" and gaming has been great since it requires all of your concentration, hand-eye coordination, practice and teamwork with other online players.

I also stopped checking my social media accounts regularly which also helped me to break the (psychological) spell that I am habitually in. I am now getting back into it as well as my habitual studies (with some changes).

That is about all that is new these days. I now work at a restaurant instead of the McDonald's. (The McDonald's job was the first one I have had in eleven years of homelessness, save one brief stint as a dishwasher.)

 I still don't know what my exit date from Operation Birddog is. All of our media companies (newspaper, news, music, entertainment, magazines and internet) still continue to publish for me on a daily basis. I have sifted through thousands of pictograms, metaphors, etc over the years.

 I may be moving into an "SRO": A Single Room Occupancy. This is great news since it gets me out of the shelter system. The bad news is that it's just a room with a cot and one lamp on a table. No fridge or stove or walk-in closets or bathroom. Smaller than one of Kim Kardashian's walk-in closets for her shoes.

Late.

-Nietzsche

******

One of the obvious things I failed to realize about the benefits of Skynet to the perpetrators: It allows them to hear the thoughts and feelings of their victims. It would also imply that some who are guilty of hate crimes on others were aware that their victims had no malicious intentions and posed no threats to them but were assaulted anyway (i.e. racisim). Skynet allows the agitators to hear what their victims have to say about their injuries and losses. Sweet!

Existential Overwhelm

Existential Overwhelm

Well, I haven't posted in a while. I am still in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles. I am still trapped in this project with the government and Hollywood.

The Why's & How's keep me awake: How much longer am I supposed to be here? Why are we doing this? Why aren't people complaining?

I think the system of checks and balances (Internal Affairs, DOJ, Office Inspector Genereal, ACLU, "Independent" Journalism) can all be disabled by the government if they declare a project "classified" or government business. If you work at the DOJ and they tell you not to prosecute FBI agents for an illegal incarceration, witness tampering, contempt of court, attempted manslaughter, misuse of influence (infomercials with celebrities in metaphor about the incident with "Amber") and so on, then I guess you have to do what they order you to do in the military, but that really disables the entire system and allows criminal activity.

I won't go into detail here, but the attempted manslaughter charges were years ago when I was homeless in the San Francisco-Berkely-Oakland area. Most likely the motive was to eliminate me as a witness (before I realized what the hell was going on) or prosecutor against any friends or family members, police and actors/writers/producers in Hollywood.

If those aforementioned people go to jail for something they themselves have done, then so be it. But they didn't have anything to worry about after all: the DOJ, ACLU, Internal Affairs, Attorney General, and others have all turned my case down. I believe they were ordered to.

*********

If you don't have a disposition to criminality or schaedenfreude then this situation makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Consider: Economically, the USA is spending millions of hours and billions of dollars making these commercials, pictures and articles. Honestly, it isn't necessary but can be fun. Sociologically: Bad examples on our buses, streets, etc. Lots of pantomimes of vulgar behavior, etc. Silence at social/legal injustices. Law: Absolutely illegal. No need to go around a courtroom. All parties are present. Aggravated assaults, poisoning, harassment, illegal incarceration, felony conspiracy by the police and Hollywood are all going undocumented and unpunished. So why do it?! 1. Schaedenfreude & Personal Proclivities. A lot of people get a kick out of being cruel, assaulting their competition, embarrassing others. 2. Publishing & Money. It's probably a safe bet a lot of money or some kind of currency is being brokered out to those who use their publishing platforms for this project. This is all done in metaphor. 3. Legend. Some people want to be famous and make themselves the "vigilantes" that you see on tv & movies constantly.

*********

It's a hypnosis that says, I can't acknowledge you; I can't help you.

********

I recently watched "The Perfect Physique" on Netflix. I was struck by how these men's lives revolve around their bodies. I mean, EVERYTHING they do is in the service of bodybuilding: timing their meals, their custom made clothes for their size, their supplements, even sleep is to recover from the last workout so they can get up in the morning and do it again.

********

FINALLY, I found some tangible proof of technology that the police won't admit to having: it's the ability to see through walls. Eventually, I will find what I need to prove that they have the ability to read minds and record them, including memories, all five of your senses, your body's health, etc. This stuff can be used to make you feel like your losing your mind as well as force you to listen to other's speaking to you against your will:

Wi-Fi Allows You to See Through Walls

********

I guess that's about all for now.

-Nietzsche

Be Spiritual, Then

Be Spiritual, Then

Quickly, I am going to cover a few ideas about being "spiritual". What it is and isn't. And what's useful and what's useless.

Spirituality as Holism

First, being religious is not necessarily being spiritual but it is being religious, for sure. Holism is the best definition of being spiritual which means:

"theory that parts of a whole are in intimate interconnection, such that they cannot exist independently of the whole, or cannot be understood without reference to the whole, which is thus regarded as greater than the sum of its parts. Holism is often applied to mental states, language, and ecology."

Now, the question you need to ask yourself is, Who am I? What am I here to do? How can I be a healthy part of a larger system? What does an unhealthy part of a larger system look like? And so on.

There are various "spaces" for your analysis and introspection, including relationships to yourself; relationships to others; relationships to the world (environment) around you.

The great Buddhist teacher, Ken Wilber, delineated several areas for fine tuning in his writings, from a person's interior (mind, emotions, physical health, etc.) to the outer (relationships, technology, career,etc.). He called this his AQAL model. Which means All Quadrants, All Levels. Which is pretty bad-ass if you ask me.

Science is always an attempt to delineate how things work or might work. Once these are known, they become the rules. To be spiritual or ecological, means getting yourself in sync with the rules so that you are a healthy part of a larger system.

Spirituality Works

Countries: There are some fantastic examples of ecology at work. Right now, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden and other countries are taking stray dogs off of the street, declaring some towns automobile free and are recycling so much trash they have run out of trash to recycle. These moves won't stop global warming, stop animal cruelty or keep millions of pounds of plastic from being dumped into the ocean, but they are the intelligent, spiritual thing to do.

Communities: Religious communities come to mind and some have accomplished already what some highly educated philosophers and policy makers cannot. Take for example a religious group like the Jehovah's Witnesses.  This is a group of people that has virtually no drug addicts. No one doing hard time. A divorce rate that is closer to three percent than the national average which is closer to fifty percent. No suicides. No one taking prescription meds that doesn't honestly need it. Very, very few cases of alcoholism and so on. Absolutely no hate crimes or hate speech. No hate crimes or irresponsible behavior against the earth itself or wildlife.This is not a group of a hundred people who are all African or all Caucasion but an international group of some three million people (during the 1990's--a group 1.5 times the size of Phoenix) that spans the entire globe. Contrast those numbers against the population at large and you will see a large accomplishment. Their philosophies are simple and bible-based. Jurgen Habermas doesn't write their study material.

The rulers and governors of our countries have no idea how to create a society of people that work to gether so harmoniously (unless the entire country was Caucasian or Jewish like Israel) but it can be done. There are many examples to take something from. You don't have to be as naïve or devout as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Individuals: There are too many gurus out there to choose from. Find one who embodies what you want to become (even if it's a fictional character). Which brings me to my next section:

Prayer, Worship, Meditation and Ritual

There are many purposes that a religious group or a secular philosophy study group can facilitate, including community and personal development. At the "end" of your personal development, you are supposed to achieve a stage of maturation. In Christianity, this is referred to as the "Christ Consciousness" in Buddhism, the "Buddha-Nature". In philosophy, "Enlightenment".

Prayer, worship, meditating, participating in rituals etc. is intended to solidify your commitment to the group, show appreciation for your teacher (or God) and help you redefine yourself as a student or member of a school of thought. At the end of your training (which never ends) you will achieve what all groups call "non-duality". Which means there is no difference between yourself and the guru or yourself and the scriptures or yourself and whatever school of thought you subscribe to.

Those who achieve non-duality are often so congruent that they are charismatic and attract followers. These people also stand in stark contrast to most politicians and cops, who are one person in front of you but somebody else in secret (like on Skynet, for example). And no one wants to emulate them. Most presidents and politicians cannot get on television and tell you to live a conservative, mindful lifestyle because they don't do it themselves.

(Speaking of meditating there are excellent cd's by Dr. Lloyd Glauberman that help with influencing your subconscious mind. You listen to one side of the cd per night using headphones ONLY. They are very inexpensive and very effective. I don't make anything for this endorsement.)

Nihilism, Me-ism, and Narcissism

There is really no place for narcissism or me-ism in spirituality. People who are full of greed or fear or pride tend to act irrationally even if it's costly to the group. Sometimes they are a danger to themselves.

With regards to Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas on nihilism, he was advocating the judgement of a superman--not the judgement of a spoiled kid or an irrational adult--but one who had achieved "mastery over oneself" and one who had escaped the herd mentality. I think he would balk at the idea of those who live extravagant lifestyles at the cost of everyone else around them. It's not sustainable. Even now we have to out-innovate our levels of consumption otherwise we will run out of oxygen and clean drinking water and possibly food. After tens of thousands of years of lush green vegetation and blue oceans, we have managed to set the world on course for an ecological disaster with just the last seventy five years of consumption habits.

Obstacles to Spirituality

Obstacles to your "non-duality" are usually the choices you make. Who do you hang out with? Do they have the same goals? What kind of entertainment do you watch? Is there any kind of entertainment that you refuse to watch because it disagrees with your philosophy (or vows)? Do you have a regular routine in place for meditating or practicing? What do you do if a supervisor or employer asks you to do something that is immoral? Is there any kind of material that would adulterate your mind, body or spirit? Do you read material that inspires hate or irrational fear?

Don't balk at the idea of studying a philosophy or a religion with a group. A surprising number of mensans are Christian or conscientiously practice some formal type of philosophy or religion. It's the idiots or immature who believe they don't need to listen to anyone else.

Once you have achieved your stage of maturation you can then make your own decisions based on your own judgement. "Beyond good and evil" as Nietzsche said.

In Conclusion

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Galatians 5: 22-26

That I.Q. Thing...

That I.Q. Thing by Titus Anderson

I don't remember exactly when, but when I was about 20 years old or so, I became interested in the subject of creativity and I.Q. This would have been around the year 1989, as I am forty seven today. Since then, the internet has come along and a plethora of new research and constant stream of information has become available. From time to time I keep my ear to the ground to see what is new. I thought I would take a minute here to post a few things I have learned over the years for those interested.

Frist of all, I.Q. is important because it is the study of your capacity as well as efficiency at solving problems. The benefits of this are obvious to all who recruit students, hire at companies or grant research money to researchers as well as to those who apply or need work or have problems to solve. Also, there is great satisfaction to be had when one beats a puzzle or a competitor or surprises oneself with a new invention.

From this point in the blog I will cover a few areas of interest in brief sections:

IQ Points

The median i.q. is 100 points. The standard deviation on most i.q. scales is 15 points and different societies, like Mensa, require a standard deviation of at least two for  membership. This is not easy for most people since the odds are about one in fifty for a person to have this kind of talent. Other societies for the gifted like the Prometheus Society or Giga, may require three or four standard deviations for membership. These individuals become even more rare with the odds of an individual being born with this kind of talent being one of 100,00 and so on.

Also, I.Q. points become more significant and logarithmically more difficult to achieve the higher you go on the scale. For example, a person with an i.q. of 100 points may be able to remember a 10 digit phone number with little difficulty but a person with an i.q. of say, 165, may be able to remember several hundred digits of random numbers for several days or weeks. That is more than a 65% per cent in crease in ability! One gentlemen with an i.q. of 200 (one of the highest and most rare) was able to memorize some 1600 pages of text.

If you are wondering why those with higher i.q's are able to graduate early or take multiple classes at the same time, it is because their memory is far better than normal.

Activities for I.Q.

Are there any activities that you can adopt or practice for your i.q.? Playing an instrument (especially early in life), jogging, lifting moderate weights, juggling or drumming, learning a foreign language (especially early in life) and even some audio cd's claim to increase (albeit temporarily) interhemispheric communication (and thus i.q.) within the brain. Also, some applications for your smartphone like Elevate and Luminosity claim to increase your i.q.,

NOTE on brain games: The ability to increase raw ability or "capacity" is not the same thing as "efficiency" with what you have been practicing (math or guitar or Spanish). Your innate abilities will tap out somewhere and that is what I.Q. tests attempt to measure. For example, how many times can you double the number 49 in your head before you have to stop will tell you your capacity. How quickly and error-free you get to your limit is your efficiency.

Best Way to Learn

#1 With a tutor.

#2 In a classroom.

#3 On your own with a book.

Connections are made and kept with those with high i.q.'s (people with Asperger's Syndrome). For the rest of us, periodic studying, review and testing will help you retain what you have learned.

On graduation day from University, the average graduate has an I.Q. of 120 points (still well below Mensa) but it starts to decrease the day they step off of the campus.

Ideation

The ability to generate ideas is not the same thing as I.Q. If you have a knack for writing lyrics, designing websites, public speaking, or writing books or directing movies, that's great. A high i.q. doesn't mean you can do these things as fluently.

"Brain Food"

Fish, walnuts, ketones and possibly yogurt. (Your brain needs a lot of oxygen and sugar.)

Epigenetics and Ontology

"What you create, creates you in return." is a general axiom of "ontology". This can influence your i.q. For example language. Your facility with language (It's on i.q. tests as well as your SAT's.) has everything to do with your original tongue and may influence your brain's development and i.q. .

How intelligent you sound or how articulate you are usually has to do with practice (did you spend time reading outloud for others as a child?) and what your parents or school or culture wanted you to sound like. African people raised in the suburbs usually sound like they are "white" and if you hand them a guitar, will probably sound like they are "white" and not African, whatever that is. This is not because of their DNA but because of ontology. African's born in Great Britain sound proper and British, not at all like the scum of Skid Row, Los Angeles CA, from where I currently write this blog.

Epigeneticss is the study of your dna's expression over time (several generations) and what influences it's expression (environment, food, stress, parents, music & culture, wealth or poverty). It is a known fact that one of the most telling betrayals of those who tend  to to well at the University or gain admission to a top Univerisity is having parents who were also at top Universities or who are professionals. This does not account for the "outliers" who are in the top 5 percent of ability.

As far as culture or races are concerned, your innate tongue, vocation and your diet and environment will all have an influence on what traits and genes become dominant over several generations

10,000 Hours of Practice?

Malcolm Gladwell famously quipped that it takes 10,000 hours of practive to become an expert in a subject. This has been debated constantly but I think one thing is useful: Some of those you may compete with may have been practicing since they were teenagers.  A young man raised by professionals may have been required to add an extra 10-20 hours of practice per week to his math studies. By the time you meet him at age 22, he may have the equivalent of  a bachelor's degree in math while his peers are still learning.

Circumstances

What do Leonardo da Vinci, Tony Stark, DARPA and Alan Turing and even the United Sstates have in common? Two very imporatant things for innovation: War and money. It is a known fact that a number of resourceful companies, countries and even individuals become highly creative at times of war but also have the resources and liesure to investigate, practice and execute.

As an aside, some European contries that have always been white, are not necessarily hubs of innovation, and some are actually failed states economically and philosophically. I bring this up because some argue that being Caucasian is equivalent with being "superior".

Multiple Types of Intelligence

Howard Gardner, the famed Harvard psychologist has delineated several types of intelligence of a human being for a more holistic evaluation. There are: Music, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Ecological-Existential.

I'll leave you to research these on your own. Suffice it to say that human beings require a number of different faculties to be calibrated to make smart decisions about the world they live in not just math, for example.

Psychological Traits

This section is mostly anecdotal since you will find exceptions constantly. However, suffice it to say, you will find more mensans in physics and research labs then you will in say, Hollywood or truck driving school.

The gifted tend to be fiercely independent. This is sometimes displayed in a disdain for BS and BS artists (politicians, etc.) They will sometimes ignore conventional modes of dress or style. They tend to pride themselves for not being "under the influence" (of culture, tv, propagandists, etc.).

They tend to enjoy using their wits the way professional athletes or boxers enjoy living by their ability to compete athletically. Hence, hours spent studying or researching may be quite pleasurable.

Nicknames. Nicknames are not uncommon at all but sometimes I can't help but notice that a lot of the gifted tend to have nicknames. Maybe this is because they are more likely to be "individuals". One young girl who comes to mind with an exceptional i.q. in the 170 range, changed her legal name to reflect how she felt about herself. Her new name would now be Promethea Olympia Kyrene Pythaitha. (Her original name was Jasmine.) Another fellow I know of is called "Scorpion".

• Read more about the Stanford program for gifted children where Jasmine is a student.

  Jasmine Lee, a seven-year-old Montanan with an IQ of 173. She spoke in complete sentences at six months, and was writing at the age of one. She reads Homer and studies quantum physics. She loves learning, and studies 14 hours a day. Too smart for first grade, she is taught by her mother at home, and through a Stanford-run gifted student program that uses the Internet. When she's nine, she'll go off to college. But by taking this unusual path, has she given up essential social development?

The gifted  also tend to appreciate ecology, systems and intelligence and can't understand why the masses can't alter their lifestyles according to the newest feedback. Drive electric, dammit.

(Even our inability to get the trash properly separated and recycled is a HUGE failure of all. According to Davos we have gone through a year's worth of resources in eight months. Have you done anything to curb your consumption by 33%? No? Nothing? Not even meatless Mondays?)

Also facility with at least one musical instrument seems to also be common. Sports and competitions (like chess or gaming) is also common.

Devices for Your Brain

There are a few devices created with the idea in mind to 1.)increase neuroplasticity within the brain 2.)increase interhemispheric communication and 3.) supplements specifically for your brain.

At this time I am not going to go into a lengthy explanation of these devices (transcranial direct current stimulation) but here are a few links for your own research:

Vielight
HaloNeuro
Soterix

You can find cheaper models if you google "tcds machines".

Audio CD's
Although the cd's don't claim to increase i.q., they do often claim to increase "neuroplasticity". Here is an example to check out: Centerpointe

Supplements for your brain, commonly called nootropics. You can research this on your own but a few links to get you started:

[This blog isn't finished yet.]

There are also newsletters and podcasts devoted to this subject.


How necessary is this stuff anyway? Well, that depends upon you. That's the relative answer. Jordan Ellenberg a mathematical prodigy who wrote the book, "How Not To Be Wrong" says that plenty of mathematical breakthroughs have been accomplished by people with ordinary i.q.'s. Further, he says that "genius is something that happens, not something that you are". Which I find to be an amusing counterpoint to what is commonly thought of about geniuses. Lastly, Malcolm Gladwell also noted that the world is run by people with i.q.'s in the 120's.

In absolute terms we can say that it is the reason for our well being and progress. People with high range intelligences are more likely to patent products, start a company, get a professorship, find grant money, choose where and how they live, live longer and retire with money in the bank. In fact, if you were 21 years old with the option of having a million dollars or an i.q. of 132 you better pick the i.q. of 132 without the million dollars. Smart people are more likely to keep the money they make. Low i.q. people are apt to lose it.

The credit for the information in this last paragraph is owed to Jonathan Wai, a researcher in psychometrics and the gifted.

In Conclusion

I tested my own I.Q. in my 20's and it was above average but not exceptional. The future hold promise: synthetic biology, CRISPR, nootropics, stem cells and the like will change our lives for the better and longer. We must create a worldcentric ecosystem not an ethnocentric ecosystem that behaves as though guided by the invisible hand of intelligence. That is how we all surive and thrive and find fulfillment. Not by being at war. War is killing the planet. Idiot.
