    “The bombing of Nagasaki resulted in an estimated 35,000 to 74,000 deaths by the end of 1945.”

    Perhaps part of the problem in desensitisation is increasing entropy and disorder as if prior world wars created so many casualties that citizens are desensitised to mass death even before a new war begins. So if we accelerated many conflicts then the death toll in Palestine is like an atomic bomb, the US invasion of Iraq was like a nuclear bomb and the conflict in Sudan has created more death than the Rwandan genocide but is partially concealed under the guise of a slow war of attrition. Perhaps if Christianity were like a working backwards mechanism to 2000 years ago then part of the dilemma might have been that people overlook how extreme the earlier conflicts might have been to produce less collateral damage as if soldiers in WW1 were so expendable that they didn’t need to risk killing too many civilians. By contrast soldiers in many conflicts today are given a backhanded compliment in bombing raids if poor people weren’t even prioritised in their home country to think their own soldiers needed so much protection. I suppose part of the problem with Holocaust denial in Palestine might be like a game of chicken where the impression of supporting nazism would ordinarily have created such an enthusiasm for world war that the resulting apathy in Palestine means that either they glorified nazism to such a huge extent that they can’t care about it in light of criminal psychosis or else they had already barely supported Holocaust denial. Hopefully the second option is more likely. A nuclear bomb is almost like a Sun God as an ethical defence!

    Increased entropy over time can be a partial account for why there can be so many other complicated issues in society that have no full solution. So for example it can sometimes be challenging to fully justify statutory rape if society is already implicated in so much other violence even though there’s still a slippery slope to infantile paedophilia. Yet there’s also an inverse justification for statutory rape if infantile rape sometimes isn’t extremely evil then you’d ironically need statutory still being prosecuted just to downplay how stigmatised other paedophiles already are. The problem is you’d need a sixth sense to fathom how society reflexively find solutions from hidden variables that aren’t intuitive but run the risk of extreme controversy were it not fully analysed. So for example the way many sports stadiums might not have armed security in spite of disarming spectators might not be a great defence against mass shooters but you’d have to take everything into consideration to realise that were gun control never actually going to be enforced nationally then even the symbolism of gun control might still be successful in under-policed concerts or stadiums simply to deflect from paranoia around so many armed provocation defences and international warfare. In other words the slight paradox is that you might have to partially surrender national gun control to promote what would originally have felt like a far more extreme form of gun control in unarmed though under-enforced busy areas.


    “Prior conflicts in Sudan, including the first and second Sudanese civil wars and the Darfur conflict, resulted in millions of deaths and even more displaced people. The first Sudanese civil war lasted from 1955 to 1972, the second from 1983 to 2005, and the Darfur conflict began in 2003.”

    Mandeltrip - Symmetric Brot (2 Sets)

    Viewing forgiveness as a double negative that becomes a positive mimics an acceleration in time as either you forgive yourself for not forgiving others or you simply forgive others as if the past simply wasn’t relevant. So a consolation of intergenerational self-forgiveness of your own ancestry is at the bare minimum to symbolise how another country doesn’t have to keep promoting evil even if they already committed evil. Likewise a nightmare can just be about forgiving a nightmare itself to pass faster through time and not just about forgiving others. Forgiveness mimics an external force acting on an evil mind engaged in perpetual motion much like Newton’s first law!

    ‘During the filming of "The Passion of the Christ," Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus, was struck by lightning twice. The first incident occurred in Mata, Italy, while filming the Sermon on the Mount, and the second happened while he was on the cross. Additionally, a key set production assistant, Jan Michelini, was also struck by lightning during filming, earning him the nickname "Lightning Boy".’ ai overview

    America might be a paradox of the Christian religion where capitalism and gun rights seem so insurmountable that American Christians might sometimes appear to be trying to parody the Christian religion as a final nail in the coffin so to speak. Yet the way Christianity is intrinsically forgiving means that anti-Christianity can backfire if they built up such a lead over Christianity that underestimating their own strength and surrendering to Christianity as a version of double espionage might make it nearly insurmountable for others to achieve an equal amount of supremacy over Christianity as we uniquely see in American exceptionalism. So the concept of surviving a lightning bolt in the Passion of the Christ set might have almost parodied the idea that Jesus might really have just fell into a coma on the cross without actually dying if the Romans weren’t skilled enough at taking His pulse for Him to re-awaken a few days later in the cave! Perhaps the idea of parodying the Christian religion can evoke determinism in creating a double negative such that who knows whether the lightning bolt was slightly more intentional than accidental if no one ever had to invoke a divine religion if everyone had already symbolically given up Christianity!

    Defending humility with false humility might not be as bad as pride but then what would happen if no one actually promoted humility in spite of everyone being humble? So to downplay a dream as a mere cartoon might be more tolerable if we somehow upgraded the idea of a cartoon. For example in vague background characters there can still be emphasis in emotional face recognition in blanking out all secondary details while in impressionistic paintings there can be better temporal emphasis. By contrast a cartoon never has to take pride in low definition when it can never match photons in such a way that a viewer never has to rationalise silver linings. Hence what might be uncanny about a photorealistic cartoon is that there’s no temptation to be possessive of your depth perception in such a way that a cartoon with an evil theme is never evil about the visuals as if it were purely humble in a way that can appear paradoxical like a dream.

    A postmodern version of Christianity might be to not only partially reject inter-generational forgiveness but to fully reject inter-generational forgiveness such that anyone who sided with evil is actually as evil as theoretically possible in such a manner that ironically they can’t actually be evil in comparison to the extortionate amount of evil being represented! In other words as the generations go by there’ll be a greater amount of good and evil being inherited in a progressively longer history. As such someone’s public actions would outcompete their private thoughts as an indicator of being good or evil. It’d be as if the Protestant doctrine of faith and faith alone to get into heaven would actually not only be combined with good deeds in the Catholic faith but would actually become the equivalent of each other if faith itself becomes increasingly reified in the future in such a way that good faith automatically leads to good deeds rather than just an inclination to do so. So when I first started lucid dreaming years ago and so a frozen image of a little dinosaur then perhaps it was a warning that I was as evil as heck rather than a reward for being nice! Perhaps the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs being equivalent to multiple nuclear bombs was the only event needed to prove quantum gravity on a little hill were it to separate from Earth! If the Earth had no molten core then rock is less dense than magma as if Earth would be twice its size with a frozen interior to help stick us to the ground. The way I can hardly remember my visit to London’s natural history museum with my aunt after my failed Imperial College physics interview might have been a punishment from the lucid dream of the dinosaur!
  • Anti-Realism
    Perhaps a problem in quantum gravity is humility where few people who learn Shakespeare could ever speak Shakespearean English fluently to have not done so on a daily basis. Yet no matter how much more advanced modern maths could be we forget that few modern physicists could tell how strict the entire culture of physics could have been in the early 1900s to ever match Einstein at maths. In other words anyone opting to not speak a posh word can't fathom a transcendent value of how many people in ancient history were needed to etymologically derive the word to benefit fully from casually using the word to ever match Shakespeare. Likewise a version of platonism is to forget that the history of maths is so extreme that few could fully fathom how much time is saved to learn mathematical techniques that took centuries to make discover to ever match Einstein. So a more humble version of "shut up and calculate" in quantum mechanics is not only was the problem of quantum gravity immediately resolved physically but metaphysically too only for no one to be good enough to describe all of it simultaneously. So an inversion of Feynman's joke that no one understood quantum mechanics to think they understood it is that no one understand's general relativity to think they fully fathomed it!

    Perhaps the slightly decreased rate of gravity at the equator might appear at first sight to be only a slight athletic advantage until I realised that there might be an upward spiral in kinetic energy when sprinting at top speed! A weightlifter cares not only about the mass of a barbell but also the gravitational weight(!):


    The Game - How We Do
  • Anti-Realism
    “Gravity is slightly stronger at the poles compared to the equator. This is due to the Earth's shape, which is not perfectly spherical but rather an oblate spheroid, meaning it's wider at the equator and flatter at the poles. Additionally, the Earth's rotation creates a centrifugal force, which counteracts gravity more significantly at the equator than at the poles.”

    The way that Earth’s daily rotational speed not only matches the equatorial bulge but actually outcompetes the equatorial bulge can create an inversion of Newtonian gravity by emphasising how increased rotation speed outcomes an increase of mass not only as a result of gravity but potentially as a primary source of gravity too. In other words the north pole might have less gravity mostly because of decreased rotation speed rather than just a decrease in the mass of Earth’s crust seeing as kinetic energy is proportional to speed squared but only mass once.
  • Anti-Realism
    An alternative to the homunculus argument is to view each eye as a separate person as if your consciousness were so thoroughly embodied in your eyes through sensory panpsychism that your brain didn’t have to physically connect your eyes. It’d be as if your two optic nerves bypass each other without actually merging together in your visual cortex much like roots from separate trees beside each other symbiotically increasing soil fertility but not unifying. That way parallax would be achieved through your own conscious memory in learning from each eyeball. So whenever you close one eyelid half of your visual neurons would stop working were it not for your self-awareness of that eye being closed. That way those neurons would remain partially active in a brain scan much like phantom limb pain only as a reminder that your closed eye still exists. This cover-up might help explain how your brain can make sense of itself when we dream when our neurons are synchronised during slow-wave sleep. So if the neurons don’t literally turn off when one eyelid is closed during the day that might actually be the idealised mechanism during sleep in how our brain detects a lack of one eye from its neurons fully deactivating during desynchronised REM sleep.

    Perhaps one reason there hasn’t been an artificial intelligence apocalypse is that computers are so superior to humans that we weren’t even worth defeating! That’s how meta divine judgment could be! Likewise the impact of the world’s 8 billion population could be a stealthy version of karma where we might never fully know how irrelevant our country is to another country as if we were just “no-name” to another part of the globe. In other words we weren’t even worth being warned of how irrelevant our country could’ve been viewed. Hence the punishment of there being a third world might be a trickle down effect of irrelevance towards the first world if a first world country doesn’t take itself seriously enough. It’d be as if India tried to outcompete how relevant any other third world country once tried to be to even bother trying to advertise how irrelevant their own African or South American country could have been with so many slums!

    One problem with national borders isn’t just economic or cultural but also spiritual. In other words the idea of prioritising poor natives for help might be at slight of backfiring in the context of circularity. In other words is there a risk of an illusion where the country is on life support as a metaphysical perception! Is there a version of karma where closed borders in America might ironically emphasise open borders in their own history to outcompete all other countries with closed borders if they don’t reciprocate with a two-way shared border! Even if we don’t end up with open borders there might still be an educational value in understanding an ideal of open borders to pre-empt economic mismanagement in a country. So there’s a risk of improvised or exaggerated jobs as we see in the third world if certain people have to multitask several part time jobs to make ends meet. The primary problem in terms of spirituality is if people don’t glorify their own country but take their own country granted in a way that’s ripe for complacency. Were a country fully glorified then in theory all native working class people would be able to maintain their jobs with open borders simply because their ethnicity would’ve been an advantage were it reciprocated with their employers simply to like their own country’s history even though it’s indeed not the only criteria in order to avoid discrimination. The potential risk of not simulating open borders is if poor people in the third world accidentally normalise low paid jobs in a way that might not actually be sustainable in underestimating the need to either get further education or to re-skill in a different trade. In other words few people might suspect in a worst case scenario that actually everyone and not just most people might be outcompeted under open borders by immigrants from a different country. Yet they’d fail to take a hint that no was once relevant to normalise their country without properly viewing the country as a catastrophe to be vigilant and adrenalised enough to either retrain or to truly champion solidarity even under closed borders! That’s why a national sports rout can be so devastating as a symbolic worry in all other economic and cultural areas! Only the blankest possible expression can indicate that you were never once involved in another country’s culture to think they’d be tolerable as a counterfactual of reincarnating into! A limitation of anti-state activism is of temporal causation where by liking the history of a country and not liking the present country can create an ambiguity in how much more glorious a country secretly yearned to be relative to foreigners in a way that could appear unrealistic!

    Negative wave interference in a band isn't always bad because listeners are so accustomed to music. So one way pop music can be so stealthy is that you don't always detect the instruments being played at certain beats. That way after a few months of your first hearing of a song you can detect way more instrumental patterns. One version of hedonism is that pop music can be a cacophony as if the song were an ultimatum where it's up to you to save the song were it redeemed. The very fact that the instruments don't have to be fully synchronised can mimic the profit incentives of capitalism as if each instrument can extort all other instruments in the same band to play way more efficiently like an internal dance-off contest. This might mimic Lisa Simpson’s unauthorised saxophone solo in the starting orchestra practice! Hence there can be a fine line between discordance and self-deprecation where much like how the lyrics have a chorus so too do the instruments where some beats in other verses have to be downplayed in order to elevate others. The way we can easily forget a song soon after listening to it in spite of enjoying it mimics how the song might have been too idealistic much like a dream. Anyway a few months after listening to Memories below I noticed an encrypted drum pattern and then a bass pattern before researching the remixes below. One feature of the singer's voice that I really like was how he was capable of singing slowly at an equal tempo with slight omissions in his words like "tonigh'" in such a way that he appears to have originally spoken really fast but then slowed down in his singing voice as a temporal juxtaposition like an echo. Overall one difference between pop music and classical music might be a greater temptation for positive interference more so than negative interference in classical music as if the splendid nature of classical instruments can make it harder to accept their personal limits. Listening to the original “Memories” song almost felt like a police wiretap investigation after analysing the songs below!

    Perhaps a tachyonic message from another mind might resemble an awkward silence of whatever wasn’t said. So one reason certain songs might feel tense might be that not only are you less serious than the song but also your friends as if few people are as nice to listen to in conversation as a song. This can be open-ended either as a cue to get more serious friends or as a version of self-deprecation!

    It’s often joked how going to school naked is the worst nightmare to have during sleep only for online porn to have made the issue moot where anyone can appear as naked as heck no matter what clothes they’ve on! It’s possible that certain symptoms of mental illness mimic karma in counterbalancing each other. So during my early 20s I was often tempted too feel to proud of an immaterial perception only for there to be a risk of megalomania or nightly hallucinations. The way I failed my leaving cert ended up being a bit of a perversion because anytime I felt overconfident I could counteract it by saying I wasted my time in my last 2 years of secondary school as if I were imprisoned! I realised that if I was very serious I’d be immediately content with the analytical skills I learned at school. As such anytime I thought about the failure I developed a reflex to never try to resolve it consciously in favour of unconsciously resolving it over years and years. Prior embarrassment in school was thus used to counteract my temptations for fame in quantum mechanics such that my satisfaction in my final quantum theories eventually helped to resolve my leaving cert failure. The way I can multitask ruminations on past failures can be a gamble in allowing me not to focus 100% on one specific task such that in an emergency I’d always have more spare energy to respond and forget as an anti-psychotic technique. Yet not fully focusing can itself be a culprit for creating another disaster too or can even be a temptation to be too aggressive just to focus harder like my tennis competitions! Furthermore the more ruminations on past failures I entertain the more I’ve to multitask on any other pursuits like playing the guitar making it harder initially but easier once learned for knowing that I didn’t even have to try too hard only to tempt me to distract myself further if I don’t focus thoroughly. The advantages of not fully focusing could even be better explained whenever I actually fully focus on this issue in the future! In a later edit of this post I’m writing how the way there’s no limit to how helpful you can be there’s no limit to how evil you could be either. That way if I was justifying analytical skills from my failed leaving cert in terms of either capitalism or charity then I can’t actually be fully content if I don’t actually have to care too much about others just to offer them philosophical advice in a way that won’t fully make sense unless you fully embody others to fully justify whatever help was offered. It’s like learning French without really caring about France!
  • Pantheism
    An irony of the problem of evil was that pantheism is theoretically capable of being the most evil possible belief system for no other reason than the flip side of declaring yourself God is to declare yourself self-created independent of both materialism and religion. Yet the way pantheism redeems itself can be to exceed evil so to speak as the enemy of all evil countries in history failing to be evil enough to match total independence. If materialism abandons ship at your death and leaves you to oblivion then pantheism at least lets you live in your sitting room for a while at least post death! The way in which a claim to self-prophecy isn’t actually evil is simply because people are still free to be atheist rather than only out of an insubordination to other religions.

    Even if Jesus isn’t still alive in heaven then His message of forgiveness might still ring true where the more people you forgive in an afterlife then logically the more people there’d be to sustain your afterlife! Perhaps one reason we’re yet incapable of reconciling science and religion is that we forget how tranquil a deciduous forest could be when there has been so much deforestation in temperate climates over the past centuries. In other words the Amazon rainforest or Siberia are simply too intense in comparison to the relaxing vibe of a deciduous forest. So the way the peacefulness of a supernatural religion could exist is on a par with the New World’s deciduous forests remaining intact after hundreds of years in a way that didn’t happen but is possible through afforestation!

    One way for science to view a supernatural Christian religion might be to re-interpret the pleas of Jesus for forgiveness as also being retrospective for ancient religions rather than just for subsequent generations. After all Jesus was raised in His very early years in Ancient Egypt after His parents fled Palestine. So the way modern religions fail to build as many temples as Ancient Egypt might imply that many religions are actually incapable of forming a very powerful theocracy even if they wanted to in a way that limits how powerful their supernatural realm might be. One way Ancient Egypt might be redemptive is that if people were all evil then they might not actually mind re-incarnation because they’d be re-incarnating into other evil people who’d be just as hedonistic as their prior life. As such a fear of re-incarnation might be slightly exaggerated in ethical and amoral people because they’re not fully self-aware of how self-sacrificing and nice they are such that they might view re-incarnation into future ethical people as being accidentally slightly boring! Thankfully few modern religions took cryogenic mummification too seriously!

After all the problem of other minds would still exist in an afterlife. One way to reconcile Hinduism with Christianity would be if you were reincarnated like the baby Jesus in the manger at Christmas!

  • Anti-Realism
    If the mind is 2-dimensional and the brain is 3-dimensional then one version of antirealism might be that the brain actually isn’t conscious where everything in your body and in your sensory perception take turns being conscious depending on what you focus on. For example if you close your eyelids you can choose not to focus on the darkness and opt to be less conscious of your eyes. I’ve often used the word kaleidoscopic as a synonym of rainbow or psychedelia or fractals but only recently on YouTube discovered how refracting more light into a mirrored colour pattern can create such beautiful geometrical art. So a kaleidoscope will bigger than it actually is if you look into it as if our eye ball could also appear bigger than it actually is to our brain. So if a kaleidoscope can appear astronomical then maybe our conscious impression of the night sky can also be a partially internal sensation! The iris around our eye’s pupil is like a diamond that reflects the image from the retina back onto the retina repeatedly!

    A drum is one of the most basic musical instruments where the sound of the drum can almost be embodied as if our mind was gaseous and diffuse. In a water pool you could almost think of the colours at the bottom as the edge of the water rather than as the edge of the object as if colours elsewhere were air molecules bouncing off the surface of the object. If vision were 2D then it’d follow that hearing might be 2D too as if everything we heard were in our ears rather than in the atmosphere. The complexity of a drum beat can almost be a deterrent to understanding the mind of the drummer as if to deflect the mind-body problem. A drummer can be circular where other band members are re-interpreting the drum sound while the drummer is also re-interpreting the singers and guitarists.

    One way to interpret a belief in an eternal afterlife is that people might underestimate how hard it is to live to 70 or 80 when many people in the ancient world failed to live past 40 or 50.

Some young people might be flawed in taking a huge lifespan for granted.
  • Pantheism
    The problem of evil exists in all systems including an afterlife. So one way an afterlife belief could backfire is if people no longer cared about anyone being murdered because the victims were claimed to have received an afterlife as compensation. Yet an afterlife isn’t just competing against science and materialism but also the mathematics of probability. So even if people couldn’t disprove an afterlife such an afterlife could still be rendered absurd if the odds of achieving an afterlife were little more than a lottery. For example if Islam took seriously the claim of being rewarded with 72 virgins in an afterlife then they could assess that afterlife materialistically only to find that Arabia simply isn’t sufficiently overpopulated to satisfy that particular afterlife. After all certain evangelical Christian groups in America have polygamy only to find that if one man has dozens of wives then dozens of men will have no wife. So if religious people felt a short afterlife had a 2/3 chance of success while a medium length afterlife had a 51% chance of success than anything longer would have decreasing odds of success. As such if people stopped caring much about their religious faith system then a last resort might be to equate an afterlife with a collective near-death experience as if mental time froze just before their death and ultimate reincarnation. In that case a near-death experience might still partially comply with materialism if victims simply tried to remember their relatives until the memory reified as a projection before death.

    Nirvana as a peaceful afterlife might be more convincing to scientists than a heaven of bliss because were a shared afterlife only dependent on other souls and not on God than any bliss would be from the charity of others rather than from an omnipotent God. So from a more impartial standpoint maybe a Christian heaven would have an altering amount of happiness rather than a steady amount of happiness. Perhaps a problem in Christianity is to reconcile themselves to a relaxing heaven rather than just a happy heaven! For example believing in a very happy afterlife might lead to a volatile mindset of giving up the afterlife altogether whereas believing in a happy afterlife might help avoid a crisis of faith.
  • Pantheism
    Pantheism might not ever be a large religion but by the limits of its own belief system of a shared unconscious might relate to the most extremely spiritual people almost as an exclusive group. Even if there’d be very few pantheists it’s possible that there might be very high-status people who are at least tolerant of pantheism given the self-sufficiency of the faith! So an ethical version of pantheism would have to limit how splendid an evil version of pantheism where all pantheists might struggle with humility.
  • Pantheism
    If a supernatural afterlife was indirectly connected to a materialistic system then one inference would be that any lay person who promoted an afterlife would be inherently nicer than others who didn’t offer anyone else an afterlife. Yet the catch is that they couldn’t downplay how nice they are to offer an afterlife if God wasn’t directly connected to the material world. In other words the lay people would themselves be representatives of a tentative afterlife to atheists. So how nice people are can be subjective when religious people try to be humble but therein lies the mystery as to whether they’re downplaying how nice they are to offer an afterlife in the context of being grateful to everyone else in their belief system also an afterlife! This line of reasoning would be useful to counteract racists that some religious people had at least tried to offer an afterlife even if they were abandoned by others in their faith.

    One way Catholicism as a supernatural belief system verges on a materialistic system is through a negative that elderly Catholics aren’t evil. Perhaps Catholicism could make more sense if young adults weren’t actually needed seeing as the religion isn’t a military. A dilemma with viewing a religion militantly is that warfare mightn’t be very ethical to begin with. For example elderly people can be so serious that evil elderly people could outcompete younger people if the country converted to evil which would make it harder for the country to convert back to ethics.
