Governments Are Faking It, and Copying Each Other

"These guys in charge are mostly attorneys with specializations in bamboozling voters. And the “public health authorities” advising them can get credentials in the field without ever having studied much less practiced medicine. So what do they do? They copy other governments, as a way of covering up their ignorance."
"Why did so many governments go so nuts at once, disregarding their own laws, traditions, and values by bludgeoning their own people with the excuse of science that has turned out to be almost completely bogus? Some people claim conspiracy but a much simpler answer might be that, in their ignorance and stupor, they copied each other out of fear."

    It is the only effective anti-Trump accusation to date. While he didn't start it, He didn't handle it properly.I hate using terms like bullshit, but that is pure bullshit, fresh from posterior regions.

    Interesting correlations.
    Yes, the brain is very compartmentalized and primarily deals with survival and functions. Even knowing peoples names, the way home, how to act in front of others, math, language and especially science requires rote compartmentalized information.
    I put it this way. One has info in neuron A and other info in neuron B...there is no neuron dedicated to A+B, 1/2A+1/2B or any combination thereof...no integration can occur in the brain...only in the fields outside your head we call the mind.

    Our biblical bicameral ancestors were basically very smart animals and could not act by free will.
    Now you might understand why we find it hard to understand them and what they were trying to convey to others and us. On the surface it was straight up what they observed and experienced. They relied heavily upon rote memory as a survival function.

    It is from that knowledge, that stance, we might begin to understand them and the history they brought fourth...it wasn't as "Mystical" as we have been taught to believe.

    Note, I have to be able to explain all this simply in direct language, very few of my readers are academics. It's important to me that my readers awaken to their minds and understand that our paradigm is upside down, we have been ruled by those inferior, those with no mind, no conscience and no connection what so ever to creation itself...how that happened is part of that journey.

    I think all the natural signs read that we (those of us that survive) will be truly autonomous and free of them in the next 12Kyear cycle, The Mayans suggest it, Enoch told us outright and it's in other writings as well.

    It is my hope that the Best of us, our history, philosophy and our technology survive as well.

    Very correct there, Carl. The 'bicameral mind' is, I believe, only a data storage structure. The basic operations I found which operate on both sides are just assembly-language primative instructions and there's a great deal more going on there. The radiation you referred to damages cell structures but also generates noise in the EM spectrum from displaced charged particles. The signals that pass between neurons are FM modulated to reduce the noise factor, and is a reason why most of us don't pick up stray messages from other organisms in the vicinity. AM signals (where the intensity is a function of the signal strength) would be very susceptible to noise. Neuron signals have some AM component near the bottom and top of their ranges, but by and large consist of a series of pulses or 'chirps' of more or less constant amplitude, whose frequency is fairly linearly proportional to the signal intensity. 'Brain' and 'mind' are not the same at all. It's more like 'brain' is the hardware, the neuronal networks implement low-level instructions, and 'mind' is a higher-level language operating on top of that platform. One immediate result of this is that 'mind' does not necessarily have to operate on the 'human brain' platform, just as Java can run on Mainframe, Windows or Linux.

    Ok, but as Jaynes discovered the two halves need to cooperate in order for introspection or awareness of self to happen...my work goes beyond that in the aspect of Conscience, subconscience and the mind, (the fields related to self, just outside the head).
    I also think the Mind has access to the quantum fields and can decode the information of wave transfers between entangled particles...or should we say: Insights into things we have no neurons devoted to?

    So bicameral man had no introspection and there is nothing in your head to look, judge or to see itself. He was primarily left, or logistic brained but his instructions came from a voice he judged as alien to him...until that breakdown of the bicameral Brain. Some men became Unicameral. (note, now as then, materialist science thinks the mind/brain are the same...they are not the same, they can't be)

    Another interesting point I found later deals with the timeline Jaynes notes in the use of Metaphors: Actuaries discovered that around 2500 years ago, our magnetic shields got the strongest they'd ever been...at least in this 12K year cycle. Knowing that cosmic radiation affects the brain as well as the body, I propose that the shielding by the magnetic fields against the cosmic rays allowed mankind (a very small percentage) to finally hear and identify the voice of himself...no longer confused by what the voices of others were saying...hence the ideas of ethics and morality were allowed to develop instead of behaving in fear of forces unseen.

    There were just snippets of this concept in my first book...I can add a lot more now, which I am in my 3rd rewrite of the next book on the subject.

    Hey, Carl, you might be interested in this. It's been a long time since I had anyone to talk to on the subject. This relates to Jaynes' 'Bicameral mind'.
    In Comp Engr grad school (26-27 years ago) we were studying tree and non-tree data structures and the operators needed to access the information in them. I discovered that you can have two similar but distinct structures, one to represent spacial relationships and position, and one to represent temporal relationships and sequencing. The structures are similar but shouldn't overlap - otherwise you confuse 'before' with 'in front of' etc. What I found interesting is the set of operators to manipulate these are virtually the same. So if you built a 'brain' the mechanism would be the same on both sides but there would have to be two separate containers for the two structures. Sort of like the "left-brain right-brain" thing, there would have to be a distinction between the spatial and temporal parts. This was supposedly going to be my Doctoral thesis but it didn't happen.

    I find the same problems with my studies and theories on Consciousness and the Mind.
    My work is based upon the works of Julian Jaynes.

    Very true. 'Science' is supposed to be (in the old sense of the word) a liberal mindset, open to new ideas. As an undergraduate, I was particularly interested in exploring some issues related to Gravity propagation. The staid professor mindset then (40 years ago) was, "There's nothing to explore: Einstein said everything propagates at the speed of light and that's that. I had one very good friend who had the same interests but he was killed in a stupid accident. I graduated with a BS in Physics but switched to Computer Science and eventually Computer Engineering. More recently others have come up exploring the ideas I was interested in , but they still have found no way to reconcile Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Ultimately the closed mindset of what is now called 'Science' sent me away into Engineering.

    I'm confidant to one of the youngsters that landed hear a year or so past. She is off-scale brilliant in human sciences. She's entering senior in high school and already planning first 2 years of college in tech sciences. Not quite sure which one yet. I'm holding my breath as I watch this wonderful youngster create herself. I have another half dozen in my town that have taken an interest in being around me....13 to 24. Parents are cool with it so no predatory anxiety....that's the real bitch of today's environ.

    I have seen enough failure and setback to teach a course in it. Actually that might be a good idea.
    My forehead slopes too, but I'm 3% Neanderthal. It's not so bad, but it shows more and more these days. Enthusiastic Participation: She had a very good General Engineering prof last year. He did a seminar for the parents last summer during orientation. He mentioned that most of the kids in his Freshman class were exceptional and would now find themselves average in a class of really bright kids like themselves - and love it. He was right. She found out there are people like her and she has her own little engineer groups. In each group there are a few who excel at one thing or another. She'll take some off to the side and coach them in Calculus sometimes (She eats Calculus for breakfast!) and others help her with the physics etc. Do the things you love, and if you're lucky, do them with people who share your interests.

    Coach to the aptitudes and interests, place her with peers of enthusiastic participation.
    The only thing I can coach is the joy of learning and to not be afraid of failure or setback....oh, and, you might not want to try it that way...this is why my forehead slopes!

    I'd love to see what a kid like that could to with a good violin or guitar. Tell her to look up my girl in a dozen years or so. She'll likely be "Dr. Gretchen" and teaching somewhere. She's a sophomore in BioEngineering right now.

    Just wait till they get a hold of the " 12K year Catastrophe Cycle" and pole reversal...That'll be our fault too!

    I never would have figured I'd be so happily enjoying "Who's On First" here in the Gulch. Thanks for that....a little levity now and again is good for thre soul.

    I'll be there. Gently coaching and helping her make sense of her perceptions as they conceptualize. I made her a promise that I would not tell her something I could not show to her and repeat it.
    Last Sunday I stopped at Grandpa's machine shop. I entered the front door and she very calmly asked: "May I help you?" She had looked up from the office computer where she was making up the shipping papers for 5 boxes of parts she had packed.
    She has already concept of shutting down a CNC machine improperly could be like a person with amnesia (her words, "when a person forgets who they are") waking up suddenly. She represents the majority of the young, that when coached with enthusiasm and structure, excel.

    Can't wait till she gets into school and starts exposing the professional indoctrinators as BS artists. You might want to have a sit-down with her and let her know that this is going to cause consternation, and that the fault is theirs, not hers.
    My kids went to private school, and didn't get the indoctrination, and were well-armed against the BS when they got to college. They take no $#!^ off of anybody.

    Science tries to think it is pure and exact and it is as the true facts become available. Only the laws governing mathematics, physics, and chemistry remain immutable. All the other, such as astronomy, geology, biology, anthropology, remain in flux while we learn more and more as technology develops. The same is true with medicine, scientists studying Wuhan are learning more each day and finding different data come to differing conclusions which doesn't always get shared. Enter political science, which isn't really a science but the art of persuasion, it tends to pick and chose facts according to a narrative that has already been decided upon. The Chinese Communists filtered their facts before sending them to the WHO, who released their conclusions with their own spin. The President gat wind that something wasn't quite right and acted decisively. The news media, politically correct, with a dislike for him, took the opposite stance and so did the Democrats. The President was getting input from a variety of sources while the media and Democrats opted for those who supported anything that contradicted the President. The same forces are at work on the 'climate change' front.

    Charles Durning,was the actor and that song is a great example of politicians lying to the public.
    Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
    I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
    cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

    I always liked the song and dance routine from the texas governor on the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds where the governor is asked a question and he bursts into his dance number, "I just do a little side step. Now you see me now you dont!"
