THE INFORMATIONAL PIPELINE
bluesky.jpg
view from the radar base(Parent)..with an overlapping image epitomising what the WEB also contains

With the existence of such a universally accessible social medium making it possible to have access to an amazing wealth of knowledge while permitting the expression of a diversity of ideas it is now possible to envision a new social reality as the result of having such a wealth of information available .The endless diversity of ideas themselves expressed to a broader audience whose benefits theoretically go beyond creating a sense of renewal for those looking beyond the monotony of deja-vu enriching the state of existing of individuals who otherwise would be in a state of ignorance is just a facette to consider in an informational revolution treansforming the lives of everyone despite the perceived drawbacks resulting from formal greater visibility of what may be deemed as harmful information   .

 Thus  apart from having access to an amazing wealth of knowledge each and everyone can now entitled themselves to express the substance of their thoughts on a host of subject matter without being excessively filtered despite the consequences there are of exposing material that is purposely harmful (or unwillingly so) without mention of the reality of avoidance considering the number of people willing to share their views.

Because of the Internet, the average faceless name can ramble on and share his own view of the world without generating so much as a sigh from the audience of like minded faceless explorers that want to view and share their view of reality anonymously knowing that through their anonymity they risk not being taken too literally at least once it comes down to the cult of status since faceless names can now deliver the goods and go head to head with others without fear of offending everyone else if they show sufficient restraint to abide by the right rules...

I myself the moron without much of an opinion can express my views on a host of subject matter from the preferences we have with regards to more mundane matters (culinary habits, automobiles etc) to things some people wouldn't discuss such as for example chromosomal manipulations (everyone is into gene manipulations nowadays) namely the exchange between species of specific chromosomes (more specifically on the x and y chromosomes) basically to observe the outcome once considering the related functions of the relevant chromosomes in different species...Imagine once considering the use of plants at least once considering genetic manipulations... Anyways, I wouldn't want to inflame the passions of some mad scientists devising experiments from some obscure laboratory of the likes you would find hidden in some back closet (the issue could be expanded to include the comparative analysis of metabolic products between closely and distantly related species and genera), but the matter does deserve some consideration once considering what there is to observe in the animal kingdom despite the fact that plants and animals are so far apart except on the fructose issue...

Thus the understanding is that the endless variety of subject matter to mention on a universally accessible medium can be freely showcased and discussed without much fear of adverse consequence if exposed with respect to certain basic conventions guiding the minds of evolved people, the understanding being that it is now possible to expose subject matter in a way that previously was the exclusive domain of the privileged acting under a formal social purpose .Consequentially the additional freedom goes beyond the formalities to respect once considering the academic and social conventions to abide by with respect to the guiding lights that have helped define the mind frame of all those which follow.

With regards to such an understanding it becomes apparent that as a consequence of having access to what is theoretically a world wide audience with the click of a mouse, it is now possible for people of all wakes of life to advance new ideas whose appeal lies with the departure from the rhetorical nonsense that lacks a sense of initiative that individuals are accustomed to using in more formal settings.

Thus with some education and a sense of rationalism that gets the point home people adept at communication can set the record straight without being too offensive if they do know what they are talking about. And if people may dare ask; No I don't attach much importance to genes and chromosomes (although many people swear by them). I definitely prefer to judge others by what they are willing to do to make this place a better world for us all...

Mind you, once you compare humanity to the other products of creation someone is tempted to compare our elaborate individual and social behaviour to the behaviour of ants which despite lacking a mind of their own seem well adept at being able to carry a heavy load through a mine field of obstacles ultimately taking the time to judge the situation before taking the proper course towards home...

If some people did dare take the risk of looking at this WEB page, hopefully the content they did uncover was deemed as interesting if not instructive . Considering all the WEB pages there are which present such a diversity of content whose quality varies enormously, most people become descerning by nature thus refusing to waste their time with content that isn't recognised which implies that anyone unkown with content of dubious merit will not have the credibility there is of being someone recognised in a relevent field whose descriptions are top gun. In terms of the recognition, I'll have to admit that I don't know anyone who could somehow lend credance to my words in furthermore lacking the professionalism so essential to assure a quality product ! But anyways that isn't the point, at least not for me the person who just needs to give an account of what the last few years has produced in my lonely life. Basically I thought that my account of what my homeland has to give in terms of rewards to all the adventurous at heart would entice others to go out and explore a most amazing area in north America because amazing this region is with warm and friendly people there to help you out if ever you may be lost.

With regards to being lost, we all have to admit to ourselves that occasionally things just don't look the way they should. I mean we learn to view reality under a certain perspective in accordance to what we are told is normal to do. Sometimes the facts are there for us to judge otherwise...

Once dwelling on the unusual content to uncover on the NET, occasionally an unforeseen reality emerges after taking hold of information that was somehow conceiled from the masses even after becoming publically available (Imagine all the stuff that stays beyond public scrutiny...) . Thus by sheer luck I ended up on this most unusual information being publically disclosed at some obscure site which people would normally overlook since the formal subject of study does not generate the level of interest it would have if it were formally associated with something popular generating much scrutiny.

Strangely enough this happened because of my bike travels since in searching for hilltop lookouts I was curious like anyone else to know more about history of the places I ended up in ! Thus after taking a look at information with regards to the old (and dismanteled ) radar bases to uncover along the roads I travel upon (I still haven't visited that "cave" at Lac St Denis" ) I ended up on something so strange that I was dumbfounded. Actually if someone can read between the lines and the formalities they come to the understanding that standard procedure prevents such a sequence of events. After all pros don't act like amateurs which enjoy engaging in expeditive measures...

Furthermore once knowing the purpose of the relevent government institution formally held accountable (such as the named agency) whose formal reason for existence is to undertake social studies and thus has a mandate to seek out relevent information giving adequate vision and judgement of the social mosaic and it's dynamics in any given area of the world , it is apparent that it isn't there to lead what appears as a group of cowboys which have a very prejudicial way of covering up ... Despite the fact that I'm obviously not an expert in the relevent field (I'm not an expert in anything mind you) , it seems clear to assume that the formal story seems a little fishy without mention of the conclusions to arrive at considering the use of technology that doesn't have the safeguards preventing it from misfiring because that's in essence what happened...How else to explain a grapefruit glowing for 16 hours ...

In case you couldn't get to the relevent page on the WEB site ( pinetreeline) , I'll post the page here so you can judge for yourselves.

Hopefully this was an isolated incident that has no relationship whatsoever with events of a related nature which occured during the 1980's ...

Although I was wondering if such an incident did fuel the paranoia of qualified professionals which distorted their interpretation of facts in relation to developments in problematic areas of the world to grossly misjudge the uses for industrial infrastructure in such areas divulging their finds to the public with ground breaking news an example being the mid morning news briefing in late 1990 on CBS news which showcased what amounted to a lone insignificant building isolated within some desolate mountains of Iraq such a building being deemed as being a ventilation structure for something more extensive below ground...

Although some may claim this as being additional proof to support the theory of the power of the buck to drive big trucks and everything money can buy...
 
Despite the reality of a profit minded world that may serve the interests of thugs using the semblance of a legitimate pretext to control people and governments working under the obscure rules of those using obscure accounting practices serving the interests of those with obscure goals, thank god truth and a law abiding stance does normally prevail (at least on surface) thus preventing generalised social chaos and lawlessness the trademark of a minority which uses all the tools at it's disposition to impose it's interests through deceit.
 
Considering the legacy from the terrorist attacks in 2001, an additional measure of caution is adviseable considering what the claim for fame of certain has produced leaving destruction in it's wake...Hopefully such destruction has no relation to what a marginal trends in the music industry has produced including the album titled "Demolition" by the group "Judas Priest" which was released at the same point in time...

Imagine what happens when guiding justice works for those they should track down who in having a dominant role impose their perverted view of the world while holding others accountable for the consequences...The results can be far reaching mostly if individuals with the added freedom of action to impose their own interests once being guided by their dillusions embark on a crusade in the image of their skizophrenia fed by those they represent as being accountable for their own actions ...
 
Obviously if guiding justice consistently works for the wrong people it implies that it is beneficial for the interests of such people and the representation these people have of justice and what ever it stands for ... (an obvious no brainer)

Mind you ,the fun part with the internet is that an idiot (like myself) can post a lot of skizophrenic mumbo jumbo without much consequence , that is if the nonsense either doesn't attract an audience or ( which is worst)  does seem to have some appeal that may be beneficial for god knows who... ( ! )...( ?...)  But isn't that when the problems start ? Although once a social fringe starts making global issues with the nonsense they creat while holding people like myself accountable there is cause for concern mostly if the authorities espouse their cause without much afterthought despite being aware of the consequence without mention of the infringement on the fundamental rights of people like myself the subjected to grave prejudice for the benefit of those to hold accountable ...

As For the reality of "Big Brother" in allusion to the work by George Orwell, I guess that it also serves the interests of those which have everything to gain from it ! ...

Thank god things aren't all as boring on the web ! After all you can stay stuck to all the boring crap of this order which to be honest looks like a sequel from some horror movie , or you can discover sites which dwell on the creative essence within most of us which in most cases stays in a state of relative hibernation because nobody thought of trying their luck with creative activities... I the perpetually hibernating moron has personally hss attempted to go beyond the mediocricity which fully characterises myself and has thus tried my luck with computer art which considering the fact that I consider myself as a dimwit without much in terms of imagination implies that despite my humble efforts  the machine does most of the "thinking" !
 
Imagine how it could be crudely designing automobiles using software to modify the external look of existing models...Thus you can elongate , give more roundness to the edges and the sides ,change the headlights (even using new headlight designs apart from the square look ) and  also give more of a pointy look to the dream mobile which you hope will attract the masses !
 
This is all possible as the result of the age of computers which arose before the end of WW2 with fully integrated automated electrical devices whose main computers could do very precise ballistic calculations which automatically calibrated ballistic trajectories on cannons from information received on radar which as is suspected was used to fine tune the angle and direction of the cannons of war ships which as a result could get a direct hit from 30 miles away !  I guess that this also announced the age of robotics !
 
 
 
 
With regards to my experience with computers; while I definately enjoyed using such a name brand as Apple which I consider as a high performance name brand (for example check out the very antiquidated 3400c portable and compare it to a much more recent IBM compatible) that is immune from the viral syndrome plaguing the NET, unfortunately since I don't have the means to purchase the software (let a lone a more expensive unit) I'm stuck with the old IBM compatable which aren't too bad mind you ( And if you think Windows XP just doesn't work right with your computer just go to the bios on start-up and change your hard disc settings to 32 bit data transfers using DMA -factory settngs for some obscure reason seem in 16 bit without DMA..at least for the 2nd hand units I purchased... ) .
 
With regards to programming; while I did do some limited programming in basic and pascal in college (remember the need for syntax in Pascal and the typical read and writeln commands ?) in also understanding that programming typically involves the categorisation of data (name and adress please ! ) the modification of data (how could I get more blue in the image ? )and presentation of data at the proper place in the veggy counter, I just couldn't get myself in a state of sufficient immersion to actually be able to dwell in depth on the tasks demanded despite the reality of modularisation to take into consideration to simplfy the task . In other words, overall the software is composed of specific sub-routines which can be as easily acessible as the click on the menu which also implies that the task of programming nowadays mostly involves the redundant use of routines specifically adapted to items on the menu such menu being configured by the programmer in need of specific functionality. Ultimately the GUI is what makes the package deal in acknowledging that the specific elements within the menu have existed for a long time...

Regarding the computer art ;I guess that I had to use the same boat for all those ocean scenes not having any other images to count on (unless I take screen shots of what there is in the encyclopedia which can be used without copyright infringement if the image presented is sufficiently different to make it basically unrecogniseable... At least the understanding should be that the product isn't produced for profit...)

To get back to the subject of fishing; after taking superficial knowledge of some readily available information detailing the level of environmenetal damage occuring in ecosystems affected by human activity, it is interesting to note that apart for the consequences of river run-off smothering reefs (resulting from mass deforestation ) and wildlife where occuring, more easily acknowledged pollution has also lead towards major declines for the host populations in such ecosystems with the accompanying increase in disease, genetic mutations without mention of the increase in parasites deemed as the consequence of weakened immune systems or/and the decline in species that feed from the organisms in question once the introduction of exotic species is ruled out...

Despite the reality of human activity on land which is perturbing ecosystems which cannot adequately recover (in acknowledging the fact that there are the typical mecanisms to observe with organisms and micro-organisms which transform organic waste into what amounts to safer nutrients . Unfortunately such mecanisms cannot provide sufficient recovery being overwhelmed by the influx of organic waste) , it is still deemed that the decline in fish stocks solely results from overfishing (including by wildlife...) without sufficient consideration given to the state of the ecosystems in immediate proximity to human activity which are thus more directly affected by pollution with due consideration for the fact that marine life is mostly confined to continental shelves and other shallow areas with the open ocean being deemed as a desert, the understanding being that the runoff from human activity in originating from areas close to the habitats of marine life has major consequences on the viability of such marine life.

On such a matter it is interesting to note that studies undertaken by governments to uncover the consequences of human activity on the state of health of marine life have demonstrated that marine life will not only develop a host of diseases and parasitic infestations which previously were inexistent but will also accumulate toxic levels of industrial byproducts from chemicals to heavy metals which have been demonstrated as causing major health problems a noteable example being the near lethal level of toxic waste that have been uncovered in the populations of belugas in such places as the estuairy of the St Lawrence river such toxic waste being associated with a host of major health problems from ulcerations to cancers ...With due consideration for the consequences and despite the viable solutions already adopted it is an imperative to seek a long term approach that is realistic. Apart from obliging industries to respect tough emission standards and recycling sewage further sanitisation of organic waste can take care of part of the problem which can be easily accomplished with ozone making apparatus which would be less lethal than the chloronation of water currently accomplished to render it drinkeable.

Despite the of pollution deemed as a factor contributing to the destruction of ecosystems harboring marine life, the day to day reality of armadas of fishing vessels harvesting untold quantities of fish leads us to grasp that with such a rate of extraction (which high technology facilitates including once trying to uncover stocks...) considering the known and drastic declines in host populations we are lead to grasp that considering the host of factors to take into account to explain the decline in fish stocks it is only a matter of time before such stocks suffer an irremediable decline. With due consideration for the solutions in existence (including assuring a hefty supply of sardines to replenish fish stocks)  it is apparent that despite the awkward attempt to assure the reprovision of fish stocks with moratoriums, the best solution remains taking a responsable and environmenetally friendly approach namely by encouraging fish farming using the by products of related activity to feed the fish an example being using the byproducts of shrimp farms (which require little maintenance) to feed fish farms...Considering the reality of large and growing world populations, it is apparent that the problems of tomorrow have to be adequately adressed today...

Another short comment

With regards to what is currently in the news; despite the loyal attempts by environmentalists to stop the carnage, whale hunting is still to observe which is formally undertaken for a scientific purpose on the part of a well known nation of the pacific rim which sells the meat as a delicacy at home knowing that the item commands a high price thus making the undertaking highly profitable.

Despite the claim that the slaughter is for scientific purposes, it is apparent to even a dimwit that scientific study does not involve the mass slaughter of animals...

Considering the fact that such highly intelligent animals (which couldn't choose the way they were born being as keenly aware of their state of existence as you and I) are facing what amounts to a possible extinction, it is apparent that leaving them alone would give them a fighting chance to recover...

A final short comment...

Ever take your time to see what the barnyard chickens eat ?

They certainly do a fine job of picking up everything you wouldn't dare touch !

Imagine feeding a starving world with them...

 

Once dwelling on the lives of the humble creatures which are the geese , casual investigation will teach us that these birds despite the belief in their near infinite numbers are in a marked decline leading to the understanding that despite their apparent large numbers at major migration stopover points, they seem mostly absent elsewhere. Considering the declining populations it is apparent that current practices (which not only kill geese immediately shot down but often leads to fatal injuries to others part of the group receiving the lead shot ) it is only a matter of time before the disappearance of another species.

Furthermore, despite what the common mortal believes, your average goose seems a little more evolved than your average beer guzzling joe that dwells in sleazy joints. Actually geese being faithful by nature make the most attentive parents the animal world can witness and in being proud parents will be attentive to their growing families until some unfortunate mishap happens of the like every hunter enjoys seeing every autumn...The emotional trauma that follows leads to incalculable consequences ..at least for the geese that lose their loved ones

By the way, this brings to mind what I recently read in the papers regarding the seal hunt. Apparently the canadian government is to initiat judicial proceedings following the inability there is to liquidate production on the international markets. By the way, ever observe how the seal hunt proceeds ? It certainly isn't the cleanest activity since the hunters refuse to abide by evolved practices since there is no merciful killing of seals with a bullet to the head. What occurs amounts to a barbaric practice whereby the hunter with a crude instruments repetitively clubs (or hacks) the hapless victim to death

Actually considering the census of the diminishing population which was established at under 150,000 for the eastern seaboard it is plausible to assume that considering the current quota which is established at 300,000 kills the goal of the hunt is to exterminate the species such a measure being initiated to replenish cod supplies which have experienced a dramatic decline consequentially to overfishing to feed 300 million north americans...

And what about the extremely limited number of whales which apart from having an increasingly difficult time finding themselves just can't find the food they need to survive ?

 

Time for some fun while on the run !

Imagine, when I was young I ended up in Graceland for my mum.

She needed pictures for her own show being a fan of Elvis on the go

I thus climbed the wall without a fall and ended up in the garden with my camera that wasn't forgotten

I took some pictures and rang a doorbell to be answered by a maid who kindly replied that Elvis was not here

I then continued on taking pictures of a lovely place that someone calls home to be told by a man with a badge that my place was elsewhere than the one where I was found alone with my kodachrome !...

Actually in 1975 I took the only lengthy trip I ever did to the US and visited the mid-west and ended up in Memphis Tenessee. I took time to visit a mansion that was part of history . While my mother was a fan of Elvis she only lost her mind after returning home. She was institutionalised and never was herself again...

To be honest , some people praise the words and the music while others fall for the ''godly'' figure...

So here we are in a starving world where some make the money that others provide. Obviously , if it wouldn't be for the working class, we wouldn't have what this world can provide... Irrespective of what we can expect, a winning bet can make the difference between being the devil and being god...But then there is pride being part of the working class despite what wealth can provide with the right bet... If you're trying to figure out what this nonsense is all about, all I can tell you as that there is a fortune to be made without being obliged to shed your tears trying to get it right for your part on stage...Some call it a door to freedom while others call it a door to hell...Play the market well and make untold riches that may transform you into someone else than a humble man who took his chance at the wishing well...

Despite the fact that the financial markets are deemed as money machines for the well connected, it is apparent that their formal purpose is to give access to capital for the purpose of business formally serving the interests of the people. While initial public offerings serve the purpose of advancing the course of business, subsequent activity on the markets leading to fluctuations in value reflects a process whose main purpose is to generate a tangible if not rapid return on investment for those betting on the future course of an investment. Considering what value is representative of once considering the true worth of investments , it is apparent that there is a psychological factor to take into account such value being comparative by nature taking reference from a host of reference baremeters with the future outlook being the factor with the most tangible influence...Thus once interest rates rise the value of stocks becomes depressed with the major dividend makers paving the way for others whose investment value reflects their dividend yield with future outlook giving a bonus... Despite such an understanding it is apparent that the notion of proper value has evolved which thus explains why investment value in the 1960's was different than it is today . Thus price\equity values which were typically from 1\3 - 1\5 in the 1960's evolved to the typical values we observe today which vary by sector but do not compare to what was typical of an era when dividend yields would often be above 10% despite the extremely low interest rates thus ,making it possible to make untold riches rapidly flipping investments to obtain the dividend yield which was there for the taking for those registered on the books at a specific date...Actually the influx of capital in the markets has lead to a change in  reference baremeters  once determining value.despite the emphasis placed on the potential for growth.....

Today the big money makers are with derivative investments such as by taking concurrent positions with options whose yield may exponentially increase with a nominal increase in value of the underlying investment. Thus someone concurrently taking the cheapest PUTS and CALLS never stands to lose any money if the market demonstrates sufficient momentum before the expiration deadline since such investments expire in value after a certain amount of time...As for Futures, only the knowledgeable and the insiders take a risk with them since there basically is no limit to the loss...

As for the money (the Trillions of dollars ) that is created with such elaborate money machines (whose formal purpose for existence is to offset risk..imagine..) , they not only fuel the lifestyle of a minority of influential people and their cohorts of folowers, but also serves the interest of the working class since pension funds are known as major investors...

And where does such capital come from ?

Consumers end up paying the bill...

( On the matter of currencies; with regards to the strategies in existence used by financial institutions to assure proper parity in terms of valuation of the relevent currencies, sustaining currency values with gold in the past involved purchase of gold with currency printed by the central bank which in the past also could involve a premium to encourage local production..and employment...Mind you a "cheaper" currency tends to sustain export earnings..and growth while also  restricting imports which leads to the understanding that such a strategy encourages autosufficiency if there is relevent infrastructure implementation...   )

Actually with due consideration for the large capitalisation of the relevent markets I do have certain reservations regarding the actual destination and use of such a large pool of capital which is generated in such markets (namely derivatives),the formal understanding being that despite such markets being formally mostly used by institutional investors to hedge against the apparent risk associated with major price fluctuations for more tangible investments (such as stocks and commodities including food etc) , considering the very large capitalisation the possibility does exist that a fringe group of investors without a constructive social purpose is reaping the benefits which despite the recognised assumption that financial powerhouses seem to be the major players acting in the best interests of the public leads to the understanding that considering the large flow of capital and the relatively straightforward means of appreciation in value the possibility does certainly exist that considering the rapîd appreciation in value of the investments a fringe group of speculators may have capitalised on the momentum during the course of decades to reap quick and substantial returns such returns potentially being used to aquire more tangible investments at a relative cost that seems nominal considering how quickly money can be made without engaging production of tangible wealth which benefits the consumer such a return on capital being at a nominal cost... This has us grasp that theoretically it is possible to have a group of speculators make much capital without having to creat material wealth in return. Such capital could theoretically be used for other purposes than what investment capital does to further the course of social development....

nb--Furthermore once you look at accounting practices you come to the understanding that despite the formal figures on paper the reality can be much different with regards to expenditures offsetting revenue...(take the example of corporate aquisitions with stock whose expenditure costs despite representing an intangible outflow of capital will offset revenue...Write-offs and other provisional expenditures may also produce certain surprises...)--And what about a close up look at administrative charges...Where does the money actually go to ?

To get back to the subject matrter of the markets, in theory your money once invested makes it possible to assure that corporate diversity survives basically because the capital generated from the above mentioned activities should theoretically directly and indirectly fuel corporate ventures including those that place emphasis on innovation paving way for new products and technologies often representing a breakthrough leading towards an improvement in our state of material existence ... Since the generated capital may become investment capital encouraging business diversity theoretically assuring the perpetuation of a continuum with regards to improvements with the quality of the associated products and the services of businesses ventures which are conceived to better serve the interests of the consumer thus challenging the supremacy of the corporate dinosaurs, the understanding is that such investment capital leads towards a more dynamic busness environment for the benefit of the consumer... In theorey such a postulation is remenescent of the idealism vocalised by those which promote the interests of the working class which should be entitled to a decent level of material wealth in the sense that corporate diversity in challenging the supremacy of corporate dinosaurs leads towards a business environment which better serves the interests of you and I the consumer...(It is interesting to note that one of the major points of discontent in communist nations was the lack of availability of consumer goods -which often also were of lackluster quality- and the lack of  innovation once considering consumer products such as automobiles which incorporated the same antiquated technology several decades after newer technology became standard use elsewhere...)

While formally the average consumer does immediately benefit from corporate diversity assuring the perpetuation of a state of improvement with regards to the quality of the products and services and their accessibility ( location and price...) , an in depth investigation of growth industries and start up businesses has us understand that the reality of the niche market while typically serving a restricted segment of the market (including once considering locality...) also serves another purpose which is not only to boldly go where none have dared go before but also to assure market penetration in areas without sufficient corporate diversity to assure an objective business approach that best serves consumer interests. In other words challenging the dinosaurs assures that everyone gets their fair share which furthermore assures that the dinosaurs themselves improve their own performance...Mind you what often happens is tantamount to having some dinosaur gobbling up the miniscule front runner at the forefront in terms of innovation. Although the fact of having new opstarts does lead towards a marked change with the behaviour of more implanted players an example being what is to observe with motor vehicules specifically the electrically driven ones. (Acttually most often only those with the financial ressourses can fork over the capital for extensive research and developpment ...Including universities with government grants and in partnership with business )

 

Once the products and services arrive to market and depending on the actual consumer base and in accordance to the research and development costs and actual implementation costs for products formally targeting a wide audience, only a certain segment of the population may have the initial priveledge of affording something innovative whose developement costs have to be rapidly paid for. Thus such products representing a technological and likely an "ergonomic" and user friendly breakthrough (portability being also a consideration)  while targeting the mass consumer market initially seem so expensive despite being formally priced to target the consumer market. Considering the actual cost for the consumer, only those with a certain measure of wealth (such as businesses) can initially afford innovation whose ongoing state of development most often obliges certain immediate improvements. This leads to the understanding that the affluence of a minority that cover the implementation costs of a product whose commercialisation formalises it's existence also help establish the perceived essentiality of it's use which in accordance to the popularity of the product eventually leads towards lower subsequent production costs thus eventually making the product widely availaible ultimately at nominal cost for the consumer which also benefits from the initial ongoing improvements improving quality and features...Thus the initial CD and DVD players which were priced in the thosuands of dollars and were devoid of features while suffering from lackluster quality gradually were supplanted by higher quality products with a host of features which now retail for around 20 $. (related devices were initially introduced in the 1970's as storage devices for businesses with large optical discs being able to store terabytes of data...Optical computer components for their part are described in a publicity in a september 1968 issue of Scientific American magazine -page 163?-)

Actually while the trend is to universally observe , once considering profit minded corporations that have to take the proper measures to stay afloat it is apparent that if it were not for the cost savings available in certain parts of the world and with corporate challengers  (the cost of labor in industrialised nations including fringe benefits approaches in certain cases 100,000 $ per employee in well implanted businesses an example being with General Motors -reference the daily news...) which minimise production costs the observeable reality once it comes down to the affordeability of many consumer articles possibly would have eeen otherwise. Although some corporations manufacturing in industrialised countries did take up teh challenge and have demonstrated that with a sesnse of innovation production costs can be minimised a typical example being the measures Dell computer undertook to stay competitive while staying at home...Furthermore in accordance to the targeted audience it will be difficult to conceive the price of some products as being below a floor price which some consider as ridiculously low a typical example being portable computers which target middle class professionals and aspiring professionals. Although such lower prices open the door to others ultimately paving a way for a change in consumer purchasing behaviour mostly once considering the combersome desktops...

Although we'll have to admit that despite the relative wealth of capital in existence to fuel corporate ventures, such capital would in certain respects be put to better use trying to assure that humanity has a promising future... Thus small scale projects in developing nations with the emphasis being put on the sustainability of the corporate ventures (which thus should operate by their own means) would help pave the way to fuller economic and social integration which should benefit the host populations with further consideration given to the assumption that once considering small scale ventures ownership could be in the hands of the local population such as is the case with COOPS (which are quite popular even in certain parts of the USA. Mind you , in the US pension funds have major ownership positions in so many major businesses that the typical understanding of what free enterprise involves once considering what is deemed as immense benefits in terms of wealth for a small minority somewhat wanes... )

With regards to the actual drawbacks to encounter in the developing world as a result of functioning in a profit minded environment (which actually should be perceived as a social environment whereby the individual entities providing the essentials have to function autonomously without directly representing a liability in terms of economic cost...), apart from the reality of excessive profits and the flight of capital which deprives the population of much needed capital to further the course of social development , a fertile social environment is an environment promoting innovation the understanding being that people left free to innovate will adopt solutions which adapt to the current needs of the population without incurring excessive social and economic cost the risk being theirs. Although once considering the reality of a business minded world it is also absurd to observe the consequences of promoting proprietairy interests which is best observed for pharmeceutical companies which despite having developed the drugs and the cure do not feel compelled to act to save the sick that can't afford treatment... Thus it is clear that despite the imperative there is for busineses to stay profitable in order to survive, irrespective of the fear of illegal marketeering by third parties of donations additional measures have to be undertaken to remedy such perverse situations which give a bad name to the developed world...

Once considering the inherent limitations to uncover with businesses which as the result of being profit minded for the benefit of a minority do not adequately fulfill their social purpose, the example with what was previously to observe here in Quebec up until the 1960's is noteworthy with private electrical companies which in being profit minded delivered a minimum of services at a maximium cost without the much need reinvestments towards infrastructure development, the flight of capital being a true concern with due consideration for the capital generated permitting adequate reinvestment to further the course of economic and social development in keeping in mind that once considering cost and the allotted accounting provisions, the large capital expenditures resulting from large infrastructure implementation (dam construction) entitle the relevent provisional expenditures leading towards the accumulation of capital for infrastructure renewal purposes such provisions attaining large amounts of the order of the relevent expenditures ...

Once discussing corporate strategies to funnel income beyond the point of establishment a late 1980'S (or early 1990 ) TIME magazine article dwelling on the trillion dollar per year money laundering industry is evocative...(Lyndon Larouche (which has an advisory committe in VA) dwells in depth on derivative investments....)

And if you think that your job not only barely covers your expenses , think of the mountains of debt the working class has to pay without mention of the ongoing expenses to assure that a minimum of essential services is offered such as for the unemployed which would certainly benefit if full time workers would give away some of their time to assure full employemnt since an hour lost is an hour gained to open up another job without much loss on the pay check of those giving away that hour such an hour furthermore bsupporting ecionomic growth by the added purchasing power someone else now has...But then try to give as job to some lost hound in the woods !

To further dwell on the notion of wealth; while it is best associated with material wealth permitting what is perceived as a better standard of living, for the wealthiest it is moreso symbolically associated with attainement and status used to further the course of collective interests such wealth being invested with respect to social interests...

 

Thank god for the Internet which gives me access to such a wealth of knowledge that I really don 't know where to start ! Actually I realised that I really am that inept once it comes down to the basics in terms of learning ... While I can definitely assimilate information and communicate my opinion of it once it comes down to learning something a little more abstract than what you grasp watching a hockey game, I tend to become a little more uneasy once discussing matters that have attracted interest in many people namely computer programming despite having briefly tackled the field in college.

Mind you once it comes down to learning, everything becomes associative by nature in the sense that if you want to remember objects you consider them under their association with other objects which are ultimately components of a more global field  . While this is fairly obvious enough, people tend to disregard the linkage at learning time to concentrate solely on the object which to be honest leads to a tedious time learning ! I personally never really advanced past such a point despite grasping the fundamentals with regards to the uses of component objects part of what I deem as a concept . Thus once programming, the concept of action is involved with objects that represent such a concept under different aspects which themselves lead to specific results exactly like what is expected with any language (including english) describing events. Once considering such languages it is apparent that a set of rules guides the sequence of words and the syntax. While this seems simple enough, once I get myself to it trying to master a new language I tend to stumble on the declarations while knowing that what follows are specific actions revolving from such a declaration. After all the reality of modularisation prevails with the specific modules integrating in a specific manner with each other while quite often functioning semi independently each module being representative of specific behaviour...

To be honest a major stumbling block is..time in the sense that considering the new horizons to uncover, downloading a near limitless amount of information from the net (including trying to grasp the fundamentals with applications ) leads to a certain bottleneck once having to sift and sort the piles of data trying to uncover what is of merit. Furthermore once something is deemed as worthwhile impatience gradually takes over if I don't get things going within the initial moments. The fear of failure also does also prevent me from doing some awkward first steps even if the examples pave the way towards success...In other words, I just can't gobble things up quickly enough ! (although in university I could have been more terminology minded-the cross linkage associativity process- to rapidly get home instead of losing my time trying to find something in the haystack...)

But to be honest, I guess that I can be considered as being dimwitted since when it comes down to finding the right place to settle down everything should thought out before life pushes you to the brink...Mind you maybe I don't have the right power plant to get me moving. But then the cellular mitochondrias despite looking like miniscule capacitators with an increadible internal surface area most probably have a more chemical means of action...

 

Coming to grips with inaction I have during rare inspiring moments envisioned simple solutions to otherwise complexe problems an example being the solution I stumbled upon after my brief study of prime numbers. Actually if it wouldn't have been for the contribution from a friend which was a math wizard I wouldn't have thought of looking beyond the dumb amazement I had of such a sequence of numbers which despite appearing to follow a coherent pattern were deemed as not being representable by equation (such as what is alluded in all works dwelling on the subject matter including a 1964 article in a Scientific American magazine which I used as reference in my own menial undertakings).

I thus briefly investigated the matter. Despite the fact that I'm far from being a genius when it comes down to math (or anything for that matter ) I was tempted to look beyond the available solutions which despite the eloquence did not present any tangible equations. Keeping this to mind I stumbled upon the improbable in the form of an extremely simplistic equation that looked so menial I figured that it only takes an idiot as myself to find something so obvious thus also explaining why people with a much greater background of knowledge with due consideration for intelligence would overlook what amounts to a solution that in all essence did not represent the challenge seasoned minds are trained to tackle.

Actually to this day, despite my numerous invsetigations I still can't beleive that someone and even some curious mathematically illiterate moron a 1000 years back didn't uncover what stands out as bright as day ! Imagine stumbling on an iterative equation that has all the looks of something made for pre-schoolers, the equation using 3 variables which are 3 of the initial primes being respectively, 5, 7 and 11 in the equation C+B-A...

O.K... It sounds too good to be true ...

I still have to point out that you will get some odd non primes which are the predictable multibles of previous primes in the iteration and are essential to perpetuate it..

I guess that the solution was but a simple iterative sequence... Thank god that buddy of mine the genius in math was there to serve as the essential inspiration since alone on my own I would have never dared explore the unknown !

Just try it out and you'll just drop with amazement !

If ever something like that happens once in your life you'll start thinking like someone on a roll at the casino. You thus will tend to try your luck again until you really reach a dead end... Basically that is what I have been doing since. I have thus subsequently probed the realm of science with the hopes of stumbling onto other simplistic solutions overlooked by all except..dumb me !

One of my first undertakings was in the field of biology. I was curious to know if evolutionairy theory was solid enough to stand trial trying to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that this world isn't populated by laboratory creations. Despite beleiving in the reality of evolution considering the reality of a learning process with evolved species based on trial and error, I also understood that the process of change stems from the initial inability to function in (changing) conditions imposing specific limitations preventing functionality using the previous rules thus obliging a change in behaviour which curiously enough also best descibes the outcasts as opposed to those solidly implanted who have no need to change leading to the understanding  that there is no imperative to change if well adapted to current environmental and socio-environmental conditions... This has us realise that speciation follows changes not only as the result of chance environmental isolation but also with the inability to adapt to previous conditions imposing changes in behaviour that could only occur because of severe environmental limitations culminating with genetic isolation which could arise as the result of the inability a fringe of the population has to adapt to current conditions others may adapt to ... Although there was a major stumbling block to overcome which was the mecanism involved changing the number of chromosomes over time. Actually I arrived at the obvious conclusion that based on what was to observe in mankind a defective mecanism during gestation was accountable (at least for the evolved species). This leads us to grasp that apart from cross breeding, viable freeks can account for the speciation to observe...This leads us to grasp that the term "the survival of the fittest" is a gross over-statement...Actually as demonstrated with mankind, herd mentality is crucial to determine individual outcome with those in a state of isolation being at a loss comparatively to those part of the herd ...

Despite being satisfied with such an explanation, I decided to look beyond mutations to uncover any correlation between metabolic products and by-products between different species to gain a further understanding of the mecanisms at cause accountable. Strangely enough I also decided to look at plants which are very distant from animals and arrived at something noteworthy mostly once considering the products of metabolism from related organs... Thus the fructose issue became a convincing arguement that changed my view of nature...(O.K. research had demonstrated in the past the existence of viral vestiges within the genetic framework such vestiges most probably resulting from the faulty genetic exchange process with retro-vruses known to exchange genetic materiel between hosts...)

And what about the all essential carbon which makes up all living matter ? The radioactive isotope must act like a freakazoid factory creating Frankensteins even with the greatest Einsteins !... Although to be honest the excessive consumption of alcool seems like a more likely contributor..at least with mankind...But then people past their age shouldn't be fools at heart either once considering the potential consequences if ever they want to leave a lasting imprint of their own adventures...(on that level I really wonder if old ducks make weird ducklings...And if they do, which self respecting duck can stand a weird buddy unless.. weird duck are in fashion ?...O.K. lets just admit that normal ducks don't mind the occasional lame duck even if the gene pool gets altered...Lets also admit that pesticides and heavy metals have a very destructive effect no matter what age group a duck is in and no matter how complacent a duck may be towards his buddies...  ) . And then to get back to birds with the obvious: once considering the role of birds to assure the success of evolutionairy adaptation, no matter how we look at it, even if birds can fly far in a sitting, I don't know how it is possible for a bird to plant cacti in the right place in the middle of nowhere like the Galapagos islands even if the odds may be in their favor...(but then the word is evolutionairy adaptation not transplantation...)

But to get back to reality; everyone will acknowledge that no matter how we look at it , we all look like fish at the start of our very lives before seeing the outside world...That fishy look is what get's people going once discussing evolution even if the fruit juice makes us think twice about it...

 

As for the really fun part, it happened while trying to describe the atom... Imagine, I just couldn't come to grip with the fact that little circulating electrons despite all their mobility would help explain inflexible binding angles... I thus started wondering if electrons actually moved as much if not at all to ultimately come to the understanding that there probably aren't any with due consideration to the implicit understanding that chemical properties are derived from inter-nucleonic affinity in the sense that the nucleons within the nucleus of the atom by their static arraingement lead towards a definite level of consequential action beyond the nucleus mostly once considering the consequence of electro-static repulsion between protons held in close proximity by the binding particle being the neutron (the reality is somewhat more complexe..but, let's keep it simple... )

Despite the fact that the solutions looks like some cheap BS, I'll have to admit that it seemed eloquent by my standards since it helps resolve not only the mystery of inflexible binding angles (once considering the extremely mobile electrons not bound to any static attractor ) but also helps explain why there is what amounts to an orbital shell structure to observe which is the consequence of the static arrangement within the atom creating consequential repulsive electro-static pinpoint fields of virtual particles...

Considering the level of consequential action beyond the nucleus of particles closely bound within the nucleus I actually started asking if it is possible to  provoke consequential action of such electro static forces to get an idea of the state of matter inside. While such a statement looks like typical nonsense, just using a rotating disk of a resistant material which moves against an immobile plane will generate friction and heat which seems to continue for an eternity thus giving some understanding of the state of matter which emits electro-magnetic radiation and nothing more for what looks like an eternity of time without the materials themselves showing noticeable decay ! 

Actually an alternate experiment could be tried namely by using a catalyst to decompose water (steam) into consituent gases et lower temperature than what is typically the case. German scientists in the mid 1980's discovered a zirconium based catalyst which can decompose steam at 300 degrees celcius. Using such a catalyst -potentially in conjunction with a special porous ceramic filter (to separate gases)- in a hydrogen fuel cell apparatus (a fully autonomous apparatus) will lead to the perpetual production of electricity with an excess production of heat whose origins have to be accounted for even if the use of a catalyst is but a trick to fool us all !

While this has all the looks of an intense gravitational attractor emitting electro-magnetic radiation for an eternity, we all know by experimental evidence that there is much differentiation with the different components binding together with what is deemed as the strong force whose binding energy seems constant like if the creation of matter itself is consequential to a static level of interaction creating a definite outcome which is described with the physical laws in existence. Although knowing that such forces of attraction first arose as a result of immense gravitational attraction (such as with the theoretical big bang) I was tempted to uncover the mecanism accountable which to be honest is fairly obvious and straight forward with due consideration to what is presumed as occuring within stellar objects such as our sun which in it's core will emit radiation as the result of the well known nuclear processes such radiation emission attenuated by the force of gravity (obviously !). The fun occurs once describing the process of reabsorption of such emission of radiation (since most emitted radiation is reabsorbed) based on ambiant gravitational pressure which thus leads us to understand that the binding energies are dependent on the ambiant gravitational pressure reconverting electro-magnetic radiation to matter (binding energies) leading me to grasp that theoretically exotic matter could exist even if it never was found (such as in meteorites)...

I thus dwelt on the matter to the extent of my curiosity and understanding even if everyone else mildly knowledgeable will mention that there isn't anything tangible to uncover with matter anyways since we are dealing with interacting fields...

 

I have to admit that once dwelling on the reality of weird crap to uncover on the internet my very own creations seem like a summit in terms of non conformity !  Although since we are in the image of the society which creats our mind frame it is apparent that my wisdom evolves from those of others...  Thus what may amount to deviant nonsense has a concrete basis which is inspiration for what may lack the coherence needed to give it more credibility ...But mind you , what counts is to avoid being imprisoned by the knowledge you learn. Thus with a little imagination aven a dimwit loike myself may evolve beyond senseless rhetoric. To give another simple and straightforward example to further dwell on what is suspected but goes neglected; ever wonder why those orbiting objects with amazingly elongated orbits show such behavior ? I personally suspect (like everyone else which doesn't want to discuss it) that at some point in the past the major gravitational attractor in the neighbourhood (which is the sun) wasn't alone at home. Unfortunately it's orbiting buddies had to part taking some of the furniture with them....  

 

I could give (abeit naive...)exhaustive descriptions on a host of issues which I have presented on the WEB in the past. Unfortunately there is not only the question of time to consider but the question of interest... To give an example; who is interested to compare what should be accurate data for the radius of atoms and interatomic distances of 2 heavy elements of related density to see if they are in the right order ?... For a start , give a closer look to platinum for the fun of it... Obviously in depth investigations of the past have dispelled any irregularities trivial investigations can uncover...(there must be something dense inside...Crystalline order..)

If that wasn't enough , someone the other day suggested that the phosphate fertiliser I use once discovering the countryside by bike is the key to resolve (infectuous?) disease...Frankly speaking I use it as a replacement for creatine (ATP precurser). I definitely would do away with it for it's lousy taste ...But then I can't find enything (oupps ..anything...) cheaper to replace creatine...As for disease (pathogenic agents); ever wonder why the green things without immune systems keep it at bay ? Apart from the willows and their salicylates , the oaks and their tannins , the other plants basically must have a secret of their own. Maybe the green is the secret ! Actually it is common practice to consume chlorophyll supplements which contain magnesium but may also have an unsupected role in warding off disease. Actually it is suspected that one of the B vitamins is accountable...But to be honest, everyone knows that plants like everything alive generates a specific electric field... Then I guess the issue is electrolytic balance....

For all people may think, I don't have a biased attitude towards science..nor towards other people despite the biased claims of a minority...Although one thing is certain, with a graduate degree and a steady job I would have looked better than I do now even if my ocasional hunt for bargains does produce unexpected surprises...So what's the fuss with phosphate fertiliser ? One thing is certain, I'm not growing any leaves !

To be honest, despite lacking most of my brain (I really have a hollow head) ,I basically look like a twit that likes to daydream a little like everyone else for that matter. I do superfically look at the academic dogma but fear to be brainwashed by it even if I'm aware that most of it originated as the result of serious research...  Although I'm also keenly aware that on a practical basis the most effective solutions may be overlooked for reasons that may be beyond the wisdom of many people. A good example is once considering the role of tryptophan to act as an effective and all natural cure for a host of problems once knowing what tryptophan deficiency does to people...But then it looks like the modern world is into artificial food...

By the way; anyone ever wonder why we can't use all those discarded tires to make some pavement ?...Obviously others thought about it before knowing that tires also make resistent pavement, but for the price dumped tires fetch comparatively to tar there is no sweat to fetching them at the scrap yard even if other people may have more honorable goals for them such as creating running shoes with the rubber...

Considering the reality of seemingly limitless stockpiles of rubber tires which could eventually become a rare resource once someone with some innovative ideas decides to use the manna from heaven, it is apparent that with due consideration for the potential value of such apparently useless rubber proper management of what may some day become a rare resource should be taken in to consideration !

Thus as you have remarked I have become more adept at describing the cause and effect relationship which is at the basis of scientific investigations... Actually this all started when I was trying to understand why I kept picking my nose despite the fact that it didn't look nice... But then my feeble heartbeat is a definite handicap preventing my mind from functioning with greater efficiency...

And if the talk of rubber tires isn't enough to make you ask some questions, just take the time to think of the consequences there are ingesting an industrial amount of meat (and henseforth protein) which for the average north american is a nasty habit leading to many insiduous consequences the best known being the inflammation to have in tissues and joints which considering what inflammation can do to tissue without forgetting the all important brain has us understand that apart from the faulty plumbing to take into consideration, the consequences are worthy of some thought (including for the brain not receiving it's fair share of food and air ! )even if the problem on surface doesn't appear as annoying as having your subconscious deal with the growth of wisdom teeth !
 
Imagine , just a casual look at the encyclopedia has us understand trhat despite what is assumed the cutting edge in terms of scientific advancement is cause for uncertain expectations knowing that the cutting edge frame of thought (without mention of practices and technological applications )which may result may not see the light of day in mainstream society let alone mass consumer markets...
 
And if such knowledge and the advancements associated with it do see the light of day, once considering the power of knowledge and technology , the improper use of such tools to the advantage of those with less than noble purposes leads to consequences that have repercussions that go beyond locality...Just give the occasion to improperly apply the power of knowledge to some loons with a low tech approach and social order is changed...
 
Despite the stated transparency once it comes down to access to information ,who actually controls it's flow and access ? And who stands to benefit ?
 
At least the encyclopedia can give us a glimpse of the power the "truth" holds even if we never may know who really applies it...And then there is the trivial stuff like what type of conductive wiring is preferred in the fuses with hair-thin wiring which can withstand a 600 amp test charge...(mind you multiplexing equipement is described in certain encyclopedias as using beryllium which can take the load if not the heat...). And then once trying to hook-up to my favorate radio station from the middle of nowhere 200 miles away by using my bike break wire, the good results lead me to ask some unorthodox questions  !  As a result all that is left to do is to uncover the mystery alloying ingredient from the limited chioces available (take a pick between chromium, manganese, molybdenium and vanadium to name a few !-I'm still wondering what type of alloy gold and beryllium produce...)
Mind you, once considering what is implied by improved electrical conductivity the generation of heat has to be taken into consideration despite the illusion of minimnised initial resistance...Thus certain conductors with initial higher resistance in generating less heat under a heavy load present definate advantages...But then with radio wave reception it seems to be otherwise...

So it is actually possible to dwell on a host of subject matter without fear of electrical overload (if the word is appropriate). Although the simple-minded approach is a drawback...
 
By the way; Considering what is known about electricity, I was surprised to read about a new trend with electrical transmission namely using the earth as a return conductor for DC transmission despite knowing that once considering electrical transmission by such a means a certain level of field polarisation results creating  a static field which has to be bridged which obviously implies that you end up living in the static field which may make you end up looking like something weird whose brain waves are under the effect of static electricity which as is the case with everything polarised ultimately ends up creating a bridge which considering the lack of wiring happens a little more globally without any local conductor to attenuate any magnetic perturbations...But then we just have to trust the doctor's orders ...
 
Call it static overload without lightening...
 
So even if the WEB can overload yur (oupps..your..) neurons , god knows what the local utility can accomplish without acknowledging it !
 
I really don't mind as long as most people don't look like brainwashed dummies making issues out of nonsense for the benefit of a group of loons out to get their money's worth ...
 
Thank god people..again look normal
 
For a consolation prize:
 
Despite the high voltage, the pictures I tooks still seem to come out right even if some images seem less than electrifying which makes me wonder if they did go see the witch doctor for a check up !...
 
Apparently recognised experts have concluded that with a couple of lemons and a number of iron nails (including a couple of copper electrodes) a lemon cell can deliver all the power you'd expect from lemons as long as you change the iron electrode on occasion since the chemical reaction creating the electricity is with the iron. Although I'm still wondering what the copper stands to gain since the electrolyte doesn't contain copper...Looks like a mystery to me...
 
 
To get back to basics...
 
We do have to admit that with the unusual choice of  topics and the way I expand on the subject matter, I don't look more reassuring than the perfect candidate in search of status at the funny farm...
 
But anyways, I wouldn't have it any other way considering how boring life can be otherwise !
 
And if some folks feel jealous for one reason or another; why not make your own senseless theories instead of trying to make me look like the only idiot around..which coincidentally makes me think of my innovative theory on speciation which occured consequentially to the observation of the ducks of lake Osisco(?) in Noranda which don't mind staying most of their time in their sewer vent (the one in front of the hospital) just to get away from the weather ... Now that is weird behaviour which only your buddies can stand for  !...
 
On the matter of ducks ; ever wonder what happens to the fellow travellers which get their share of a spray of pellets ? So instead of having statistics describing a certain number of fowl for the swamp dog the numbers should reflect all others that fell a little farther...Imagine those without guidance to go home...
 
Last but not least; did you ever take the time to check the earth at night from space (the night images) to see if there is the unexpected to uncover within the darkness ?...I actually was surprised to discover unexpected light within the darkness right here at home...At least we learn to know more about ourselves...
 
Mind you, if you may for an instant think that I'm some type of freak making an issue with space monkeys , while I may have been symbolically influenced by modern trends with fact and fiction from films , documentairies and music (think of the songs "We didn't start the fire" from Billy Joel" and  ''No more Mr nice guy'' from Alice Cooper ..Mind you the song "scary monsters" by David Bowie may oblige some after thought even if formally we are dealling with fiction descriptive of marginality in terms of behaviour...The song "celebration day" by Led Zeppelin may have a distant religious connotation even if formally the subject matter is about joining a band to play music which implies that most probably there is no questionable connotation. And if there is, everyone is entitled to a joke ! ...) , only fools that are really out of touch would lose their time with this nonsense even if the attitude and behaviour of a small minority may oblige certain questions...After all there is no point to such nonsense unless you really need to emphasise it's importance like starting a world's fair with a light from a distant star...On that level we have to admit that we have evolved beyond the blindness of people from some ancient culture orienting their temples based on the position of what are virtually invisible heavenly objects...(some primitive tribes had a related type of approach...As someone else remarked, people are impressed by supernovas which light up the night sky...)
 
Actually if you want to avoid looking like a radio head for the funny farm whose inpiration is total submission what counts is to learn to think with your own brains instead of blindly relying to the point of pointless obsession on the guiding influence of those promoted as being the only ones with some intelligence thus denying the right to existence of everyone else..including the right an individual has to think beyond pointless rhetoric...
 
And if the moon is for lunatics, we might as well further study the cause if those seeking enlightenment look like candidates for the funny farm with due consideration for the reality of an evolving world with a perpetually evolving state of knowledge redefining our perception of reality ...
 
I guess that it is a question of attitude...But then if "common sense" and the guiding basis for it's objectivity in the best interests of everyone can't prevail it could come down to something revolving around a skewed state of mind which determines the biased attitude...With a minority of individuals there is something to uncover on that level with a good scanner...
 
In the meantime for those of us which may enjoy being others, virtual reality saves the day for those fans of phonetics creating groovy voices for the enjoyment of the audience...Just play Krusty at a 66% pitch rate to get an idea of it ! Imagine what an expanded vocabulairy from type-written words can produce ! Imagine what VR can creat for movie buffs willing to take the time sticking actual photorealistic textures and images onto scaleable vector graphics to creat that special moment which looks true to life mostly if they record onto some old videotape to give an added feel of realism...

As for myself the insignificant moron, I maybe look weird but I'm not an extremely self centered extremely biased unworldly creation of the devil whose purpose is to render life impossible to everyone else !...

 

Although I'll have to admit that the moralising twit which I am looks like a loner on the fringe which just doesn't look reassuring...It also implies that if you want to be successful be gregarious ! At least everyone should know that a good social life leasts towards a good state of mental health ! With regards to such a realisation the buzz word of the 21 century should be "be part of the crowd to be proud ! "

 

And what if the deficient plumbing is accountable for the anemic humming ?  But then maybe the pump just doesn’t get the oxygen flowing, unless the bad bad food is what is making me so sad....................

 

Thank god I'm a well intentioned moron by nature as opposed to an extremely self centered sadistic monster lacking the proper intelligence to have a spirit of objectivity defining a moral conscience that is beneficial for others...

 

And what if the guiding purpose for the existence of some is to destroy others ?...

 

Maybe some people will make the front page news with a story remenescent of what is implied in the song titled "Action" by the group "StreetHeart"...................Mind you sometimes reality is stranger than fiction mostly if a vocal minority has made it a point to vocalise to the masses their obsession since so long if not longer in the name of the unquestionable prevalence of themselves and their interests ..............

 

I guess that my father should know better...

The imperative to be functional...
incompetance.jpg

On a final note; Once considering the relevence of words to determine subsequent actions, the following image initially brings to mind the reality of incompetence which is persuasively resolved with such symbolic remedial measures which if individually kept in mind assures a greater sense of presence with individual actions.  Although once considering the use of the proper words a slogan like "Stay alert, be professionally minded " seems more appropriate considering the actual issue at cause . Thus there is reason to ask the relevent questions with regards to the slogan which doesn't properly adress the formal issue... The image in question shows a typical slogan from WW2, a war..for freedom... Mind you, this has no relevance to the ending words in the old movie "The shape of things to come"  (if I am not mistaken for the name of the old film)
