Core Theme: GRIEVING

Guest: “Seattle Mike” – https://twitter.com/seattleskeptic

Topics:

  1. Grieving – and confronting one’s own mortality.
  2. Ethics and the Law: are they even compatible?
  3. Drugs … and how society should approach this.
  4. Relationships and Deception – are there noble lies? lies designed to protect those we love?
  5. Cancer: wounded lives and relationships
  6. Conflict Resolution in the black market
  7. Excellence: is it enough? Does it matter WHAT you are excellent at?
  8. Skylar: “Where did that come from … and why was it so good?”, Walter: “Because it’s illegal …”, Hank: “Sometimes forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest …”
  9. Altruism vs. self-interest: It’s a very statist perspective to claim altruistic motives for doing what’s really in your own selfish interest.  Walt manipulates others for his own ego and personal gain, often at their expense too. Rush song “Anthem” comes to mind as the ideal where acting out of self-interest benefits everyone: Well, I know they’ve always told you Selfishness was wrong Yet it was for me, not you I came to write this song
  10. When Krazy-8 escapes Jesse’s house and Walt finds him walking down the street he was definitely portrayed as a zombie. Zombies / NPCs / mimetic behavior
  11. Humans are a mixed bag. The capacity for good and evil are always present. Sort of a positive and negative stored energy present at all times in everyone.  Ex. Hank pledging to take care of Walt’s family but meanwhile is an insufferable douche 
  12. Family dynamics. Jesse’s brother scoffs at the idea that he’s the favorite son because his parents are always focused on Jesse. This also dovetails with the human focus on negative outliers.
  13. Theft… lots of themes around this: Broken Windows economics and all of the interests impacted by ongoing drug trade, and why even law enforcement doesn’t want it to end … LE, CIA, FBI, cartels, street criminals – all conspire to keep it going.
  14. Pride… Walt won’t accept help from his former business partner

I passed this guy in the street, and he looked at me …

“Hey, you remember me? … I was this big …”

He motioned with his hand to communicate that at some point he was 3 feet tall … and I knew him when he was 3 feet tall … err … maybe I knew him when I was 3 feet tall.

The Devil and Christian Life …

We never really kick out the Devil permanently … he comes by … complains about his new girlfriend … asks if he can sleep on the couch for a few days …

The Truth Yurt

  1. I keep talking about changing the format of my podcast … but I dunno
  2. Should I drink less beer? – definitely less Mormon style sugar cancer betes beer …
  3. I’ve been watching this show “You” … and it’s not Dexter, but it gives me a great dose of dark cringe … yeah … I bought one month of Netflix in order to get to the point in shows I liked where I couldn’t watch anymore … too much “Hate Russia” and “Gender Conflict” bullshit … it’s your “junk” … get over it Netflix.
  4. I got some wickedly good weed yesterday from Colorado … Garlic Monkey … Willy Nelson Reserve shit … thanks Willy …
  5. I screwed up my first and only relationship … shit happens. I hope she’s okay, but I haven’t seen her since 2013.
  6. My last physical was in 2013, just after my ex dumped me …
  7. The new job is going well, but it’s still very early … maybe I’ll have a more accurate appraisal in a few weeks.
  8. Justin and I are NOT giving up on RAD ENGINEERING, but it’s going to move slower.
  9. There was this elevated platform with a yurt on it, on the way to Dinosaur … but it was just off the highway … it’s like: maybe they’re gonna make it into a fro-yo place … the Gurt-Yurt … or Urt’s Yurt has Gurt … I dunno.
  10. I love my family … but I haven’t been able to talk to them … I don’t want to call, I don’t look forward to a call. Weird, right?
  11. I am massively in debt, and I don’t give a shit. I will likely declare bankruptcy, but given I haven’t heard from any of my creditors in 5 years? – who knows … there was the monkey-herpes “rent free” but not rent free in the 200 square foot pod … but at 1,000 a month? – I feel like I overpaid BEFORE the GREAT SEATTLE MIND FUCK … so I really don’t care. If you play stupid PSYOP monkey-herpes games, you win stupid PSYOP monkey herpes problems … welcome to the hall of mirrors that is life on the death star.
  12. I’ve entered the CARL phase … I work from home … I wear sweats and have a beer belly …

A) Gaslighting/Manipulating Americans about economic conditions and collapse: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/msnbc-guest-tells-inflation-anxious-americans-stop-complaining-calm-down

B) Can people “just get along” if there are no cops, no prisons, no electricity, and the water/food thing is no longer easy?

C) Is it possible we live in a simulation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

  1. Spooky stuff, new job
  2. My friend’s drive to work
  3. Mandela Effect
  4. Going back to the Moon … ????
  5. How is this different from solipsism or extreme skepticism?
  6. What is the meaning of materialism or idealism?
  7. How would you verify other forms of consciousness? – beyond magical explanations.
  8. Is it not just ask likely that the “proofs for simulation” are also proofs for God? The notion of equidistant non locality between objects separated by distance.
  9. Is it possible CERN was an attempt at introducing an unresolvable bug into the simulation?

Think:

  1. Double slit / wave-particle problem
  2. The Observer Effect
  3. The functionalization of nature, such that it looks like equations
  4. 3D emerges from 2D information, the “Holographic Principle” …
  5. The weird desire for government and “laws” … very few want to be free, and that could be a way of managing complexity, in the simulation … “hey, most players … and NPCs … they need to be voters ….” It makes the programming easier.

The Dilation of the Present and the possibility of Time Travel …

What about re-thinking super-position in the context of generalized causality and contingency problems between an expanding number of concurrent processes in nature, dilating the “moment” rather than introducing multiple equal and satisfactory states? – or rather, there is no “multiverse”, but it is how we define the “now” that is critical and creates the illusion of the multiverse? If you live within some local space time where “very little happens”, then the now would contract to its minimal state. But what if you live in a noisy sector of space-time? – then the “now” could expand beyond what we would even define as a second or an hour … though the passage of time would remain the same perceptibly, time is in fact getting “gummed up” or restricted, because of the number of simultaneous interacting forces/behaviors that must be resolved before the next frame of reality can be observed. Observation depends, in this case, on complexity … and the more local space time complexity? – the bigger the “now” becomes, mainly going backwards, because too many events are not yet resolved. This also means that feasible time travel exists, for some distance into the past, based upon the complexity introduced. This is also how the CERN system might be creating remembered contradictions or the Mandela Effect.

If this interpretation of the “now” as not uniform or constant could be shown, then it would introduce potential evidence of “lag time” in the resolution of multiple choices and paths in causality for some local space time. It might indicate a “system” trying to adjust future reality frames based upon yet to be resolved events. So, in the case of Schrodinger’s Cat? – the cat will die, deterministically – but only after the events have been resolved within the generalized “now” … and the “now” might sometimes dilate in size to have a depth of unresolved events going back decades, if not hundreds of years. Of course, once the events are resolved they are likely untouchable – unless you can generate a sufficient level of complexity and energy to disturb resolved events and push them back into unresolved.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE, and the methane PSYOP

My revised worst case theory: It was never about cars or hotdogs or Al Gore or little Greta. It was always about the realization that there was an unexploded bomb, in the arctic, buried underneath the "air conditioner" that has been maintaining a very human friendly climate for 10,000 years. When they realized that the bomb had been triggered (anthropogenic warming very well could have done this), that's when the alarm bells went up, probably by the 1930's. By the 1960's, they were geoengineering the Arctic Circle, which also made it easier to hide the program. By 2001, they were geoengineering everywhere, and that's when the "Bermuda Triangle is about Aliens" crap went into overdrive. From their 2001 (9/11) baseline, they could forecast the worst parts of the runaway methane feedback loop occurring some time around 2015 and terminating by 2030. The economic slowdown in 2008, which reduced industrial particulate emissions (having a short term cooling effect), they could adjust their estimate to 2018-2019 as a start point, lasting an unknown amount of time, but the general estimate was 5-10 years until a new equilibrium is reached and all the methane that can be released is released. During this time the average temperature on Earth would be up to 20 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial average global temperatures. They estimated that geoengineering would stop working at about the same time - and safe aircraft and ship navigation would be impossible because of coastal methane plumes/blowouts.

The rafting trip, 2005 … 6 Mile River/Creek, Alaska … class 4 and 5 … The whirlpool and almost drowning.

  1. Methane is not a huge problem, yet …
  2. Mostly people are the threat here …
  3. Bermuda Triangle is about aliens, ships can’t sink like that …

When I was a kid, back in the 1970’s, scientists believed they had an adequate explanation for the Bermuda Triangle mystery – methane hydrate expulsion on a massive scale. And they could test, show examples, it was “the answer”.

Since 2001, there have been an onslaught of “rehabilitate mythical/supernatural explanation” for the Bermuda Triangle … to the point that people mock the methane explanation, and prefer to believe aliens did it …

See the Land that Time Forgot (2009), and go about 29 minutes in …

“I thought it was about methane ….” – C. Thomas Howell’s character, in the land that time forgot …

(once they get to the ancient world island, on the other side of the Bermuda Triangle’s time-hole, there are visible geoengineering trails)

(as said before: the Ukraine bs is really good cover for impeding or stopping research around the arctic circle – at least 60% of which is in Russia.

ESAS – potentially the most dangerous factor in the methane feedback loop? – Russia …

Barbarossa …

A GREAT BOOK on this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Panzers-East-World-Reinterpreted/dp/0806125810

“Drang nach Osten …” – a Push to the EAST …

Link: https://www.britannica.com/event/Operation-Barbarossa

NATO membership for the UKRAINE would be like Hitler achieving his initial Barbarossa objectives without firing a shot … putting NATO force missile seconds from Moscow, or 8 driving hours from Moscow … more or less … putting the world on the edge of WW3.

In 2014, when the Obama administration authorized a coup attempt against the elected government of the Ukraine, our nation, for reasons I could not understand, pushed the world closer to war with Russia. In the early 90’s we promised NATO would not move past Poland … I guess the Russians should consult “native American ghosts” concerning promises from WA DC.

This is me, my view of the Ukraine situation, in March of 2014:

MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction

All of Game Theory is predicated on the assumption of “rational agents” pursuing “optimal goals” – and what is optimal is assumed from a cultural or historical context. Wars of Religion rarely have optimal goals, and yet these make up a big part of human history … so in order to apply Game Theory, you need to make several assumptions concerning the nature of human reasoning – and many of these might not always be true, but only mostly true.

Prisoner’s Dilemma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

MAD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction

I’ve spoken about this in a couple podcasts, but I just wanted to summarize the danger …

However: to believe there is a danger you have to believe that Putin is an independent agent, and rational, and operating simply in the protective interests of Russia and that there is no collusion with western interests to “have a little war”.

Link: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-navy-releases-bizarre-training-video-urging-recruits-create-pronoun-safe-space

In the cold calculus of nuclear war, the following is true:

1. MAD only works if you have a deterrence. There is a lot of evidence, including my own experience in the military, that the US defense complex is in decline, and perhaps our nuclear weapons capacity is NOT what TPTB claim it is … and the Chinese and Russians know this.

2. MAD only makes sense in the context of 2 person game theory, it becomes unstable in n-person problems (like the current nuclear world) Even if you think point 1 and 3 are false, I think this is self evidently true, and won’t change.

3. MAD only works if your opponent believes you are sane … but how could China or Russia believe that our society, or leadership, is sane at this point?

Given the following: 

It simply makes sense for the Chinese, the Russians, or both to launch a preemptive attack on an insane and potential nuclear belligerent, that no longer has first strike capacity … or second strike reliability … I would guess it would be surgical, but you still don’t want to live in or near WA DC in a scenario like this.

 A rapid conventional defeat of US forces would likely lead to a US nuclear option scenario – why would an enemy even let us get to that decision point? – The answer is: they won’t.

Basic Preemptive CHINA/RUSSIA Attack plan:

I don’t see the Chinese and Russians launching a massive preemptive strike, but rather a targeted strike using 3rd generation nukes (neutron bombs), with an initial EMP swarm, and hitting mainly C3I type targets … so WA DC, bunker systems, submarine yards, etc …

They decapitate the US government, and then negotiate for peace, as the Prussians did in 1871, with whomever is left …

They do not invade …

But the USD is dead at that point, and all US forces will be heading home, abandoning military equipment overseas.

The Darkest Point

  1. Sodom
  2. Times of Noah
  3. Lord’s Message

The truly evil state of affairs, the darkest point, is when a government FORCES its people to commit evil … it starts out with patriotic intention, and ends up mandating pedophilia and the sharing of children with strangers, adults.

It starts out with mandating everyone wear coffee filters, perhaps more than one … forcing their children to be poisoned with who knows what … you don’t know, neither do I.

But in the end, it is the STATE demanding you rape your own children to prove you are “inclusive” …

(we’re almost there – let’s hope the state collapses soon)

Firestorm …

Assumptions:

  1. No one is respecting treaty obligations. This particularly includes NATO, I expect NATO to evaporate, along with many western European governments, if the USA gets involved in a conventional war with Russia.
  2. All governments are currently in a precarious situation vis-a-vis there own people, but the major powers have serious issues with their populations.
  3. That the US government is not remotely honest about its readiness for war.
  4. That nuclear powers will use nukes, if the opportunity arose.
  5. Putin might not be a “nice guy”, but he’s a rational actor … not sure how to slot his invasion of Ukraine – some see it as a rational response to NATO expansion, others see it as a land grab.

Outstanding nuclear scenarios:

  1. USA vs Russia
  2. USA vs China
  3. USA vs Russia/China weak alliance
  4. Israel VS Iran
  5. Pakistan VS India
  6. *** North Korea? – probably piles on in a China VS USA Scenario

Conjecture:

  1. US military doctrine, going back to the end of the Cold War, plans for a 2.5 “medium sized or regional” conflict scenario.
  2. As a former US Army officer, I can testify that from my first duty assignment it was my job, in part, to lie about readiness – troops, equipment etc.
  3. There is evidence that between 10 and 20 trillion dollars are missing from the US military budget – no amount of Hanlon’s Law helps you with this one … some of these trillions were missing when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis – and we were told there wasn’t budget to replace engine packs in M1 tanks. I describe this too, to point out, that our “readiness” might not be what we claim it is.
  4. Our nuclear deterrence is based upon the assumption that US technological superiority is absolute – but what if that’s not true? What if even the replacement, manufacture and overhaul of nuclear weapons is currently impacted by our increasingly incompetent society? This would mean MAD is no longer operable.
  5. Our “rapid deployment force” model is similar to, and based on, the late Roman Empire strategy of mobile legions VS in place mile-post systems. This marked the decline of Rome’s military capability.
  6. 2 person game theory is functional when dealing with only two antagonists, but what happens when you have multiple scenarios involving different conflict scenarios?
  7. What does a nation do, that’s been waiting to use nukes, if other nations start using them? What does India or Pakistan do if Iran launches a nuke at Israel? What does Israel do if the US or Russia launches a nuclear attack? What does China do if Russia attack the USA with nukes? Because of this strategic complexity, nuclear war becomes a morass of indeterminacy almost from the get go.
  8. What happens to US forces overseas if they find themselves stranded, in countries, that no longer want them there? Japan? Germany? Africa? Persian Gulf? During a dollar collapse scenario, how do we get those troops home? And do we end up abandoning trillions in equipment and technology?
  9. NATO will dissolve if the US initiates conventional war with Russia other than the NATO proxy war in the Ukraine.

Fire-storm was a theory I developed in graduate school, but could not really find an advisor to work with me on it, and in retrospect I can understand why. The idea is simple:

Any given state seeking conflict with the USA is discouraged by the superiority of US forces, especially the air supremacy problem. But as states engage with the US, the relative threats change. The more nations that “gang up” on the USA, during a conflict scenario, the greater the likelihood more nations will take advantage – during a dollar collapse scenario, resources are king and so this will have a greater impact than fiat money. Does the US have enough available REAL resources to buy off possible participants in these conflicts? – this is a good question.

The other issue is this: having “reserve currency status” means we are stuck EVERYWHERE, involved everywhere, even in conflict regions that are a net negative with respect to our national interest – for example, Turkey. But this also means we MUST maintain this status, and that becomes a yoke around our necks in the USA. And, it means that even conflict between states that don’t involve our national interests BECOME our national interests.

I no longer believe much of this conflict is that “organic” – it is managed, and perhaps managed at a high level. But I think the Russia Ukraine scenario, when you consider US forces are also nearby Russian forces in Syria, presents a problem.

If your nuclear deterrence is in reality no longer the same threat? – then nations like China and Russia will consider, even if only obeying oligopic game theory in small markets … they don’t need a “treaty” they just need the incentive, and either nation attacking the USA provides an incentive for the other.

I believe China is in civil war or near to. As such, the Chinese Communist leadership might see war with the USA as a way to save it, to unify the people against a common enemy. An invasion of Taiwan really doesn’t have to happen, the Chinese could simply launch a coup, as the US does often, with limited unconventional forces involved. I do not believe China would initiate a nuclear war against the US, but they would definitely join in if the Russians launched an attack.

If a conventional war between the US and Russia begins, it will be a classic “come as you are” scenario, and Russia will have production and logistic advantage. The US simply DOES NOT build weapons that can scale up for production, so we will run out of planes, missiles, and other high tech weapons FAST, and will not be able to replace them. It also means that the risk of nuclear war increases after the first few weeks of conventional conflict.

If it remains conventional, you will have a pause of up to a year – where the US will be struggling to upscale its production capacity and military recruitment, this at a time when the US is on the verge of civil conflict and dissolution. Even with a false flag that kills millions of Americans, it is unlikely that civil conflict will be avoided.

The Russians and Chinese have some advantage given they have built many systems, over the years, they can mass produce. Combined they have a greater population, and if India gets involved? – they have the capacity. Pakistan is a wild card, but in a dollar collapse scenario, Pakistan might choose to remain neutral.

European leaders will scramble to maintain neutrality to assuage Russia.

Since both China and the US run risk of civil war, Russia might end up winning – not by invasion, but via negotiated defeat.

Lake Mead

Let’s make this simple: assuming the rate of water loss stays the same, the water level will start dropping faster and faster … why? – not a cylinder, basically a “v” … as the water level drops, there is less water per level … and it will start moving fast if this is not interrupted.
