SCIENCE FICTION CULT-URE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Science fiction” is NOT “science”, but it is DEFINITELY fiction.  The problem has become that people BELIEVE what they see on film, and internet in the form of “electronic media”.  Visual effects technology has become so advanced that “virtual reality” has become “reality”.

“Belief” is the foundation of mind-control. It has always been basis of power for religions.  There have literally been THOUSANDS of “gods” and religions in written history of Earth.  Modern “Science Fiction Cult-ure” has become a new “religion”.  It is often referred to as the “new age” culture or consciousness.  Please remember that every “religion” is created by people, just like you and me.

A enormous library of books, films, videos, TV shows, etc. about extraterrestrials, time travel, black holes, and a vast array of “theoretical history” have become “mainstream media” mania since the 1960s with the introduction of Star Trek on national TV.  Since then, a vast “UFO CULT-ure” has been created by film, television and and Youtube.  The phenomena is literally “mind-boggling”.

I suggest that we not lose touch with “real reality” and allow ourselves to become overwhelmed with “virtual reality”.  Take a walk outside, go to a forest, or to the beach… make direct physical and visual contract with solid objects in nature.  Let’s get REAL about reality. Don’t get sucked in to the “religion” of Science Fiction.

FACEBOOK FILOSOFER: HOW TO GUIDE FOR AMATEURS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Anyone can be a FaceBook Filosofer.  (and most Facebookers are.)  But, if you’re a amateur, and aspire to be a “professional” (like me) here’s all you need: 1) a Facebook account 2) a photo — preferably with a black background for more dramatic textual contrast  3) a photo editing ap 4) type a slogan, quotation or cliche on the picture.  5) Upload your picture.  (shazzam!) Now you’re a professional Facebook Filosofer!  It doesn’t matter how many “Likes” you get.  It’s all about the deep filosfical drama of posting platitudes to impress yourself and your “Friends” with your clever witicizms and deeply spiritual understanding of all things political, social, and sexual.  Who knows, maybe you”ll even hook up with someone along the way who “Likes” you or at least shares your version of reality anonymously over the internet.

A MASTER OF INTELLIGENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

 The Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker is a master of natural resource management, conservation, symbiosis, and being a good neighbor!summer-sapsuckerOn a walk through the forest you might spot rows of shallow holes in tree bark. In the East, this is the work of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, an enterprising woodpecker that laps up the leaking sap and any trapped insects with its specialized, brush-tipped tongue.

The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker makes two kinds of holes in trees to harvest sap. Round holes extend deep in the tree and are not enlarged. The sapsucker inserts its bill into the hole to probe for sap. Rectangular holes are shallower, and must be maintained continually for the sap to flow. The sapsucker licks the sap from these holes, and eats the cambium of the tree too. New holes usually are made in a line with old holes, or in a new line above the old.

  • The sapwells made by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers attract hummingbirds, which also feed off the sap flowing from the tree. In some parts of Canada, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds rely so much on sapwells that they time their spring migration with the arrival of sapsuckers. Other birds as well as bats and porcupines also visit sapsucker sapwells.
  • Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have been found drilling sapwells in more than 1,000 species of trees and woody plants, though they have a strong preference for birches and maples.
  • Sapsuckers tend to choose sick or wounded trees for drilling their wells, and they choose tree species with high sugar concentrations in their sap, such as paper birch, yellow birch, sugar maple, red maple, and hickory. They drill wells for sap throughout the year, on both their breeding and wintering grounds. In addition to sap, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers also eat insects (mostly ants) and spiders, gleaning them from beneath a tree’s bark like other woodpeckers. And at times they perch at the edge of a tree branch and launch after flying insects to capture them in midair, like a flycatcher.

TESLA: SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Nikola Tesla, the greatest inventor who ever lived, commented on Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity in a 1934 article published in the :

“I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.”

(New York Hearald Tribune, 11 September 1932)

Tesla was critical of Einstein stating that his theory of relativity was:

“a beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a king” and “a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense… the theory wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors…. its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved.”

He also commented:

” Supposing that the bodies act upon the surrounding space causing  curving of the same, it appears to my simple mind that the curved spaces  must react on the bodies, and producing the opposite effects,  straightening out the curves. Since action and reaction are coexistent,  it follows that the supposed curvature of space is entirely impossible –  But even if it existed it would not explain the motions of the bodies  as observed. Only the existence of a field of force can account for the  motions of the bodies as observed, and its assumption dispenses with  space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined  to oblivion. So are all attempts to explain the workings of the universe  without recognizing the existence of the ether and the indispensable  function it plays in the phenomena.”

Einstein’s Reply on this :

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right. A single experiment can prove me wrong.”

(New York Times, 11 July 1935, p23, c.8)

It is also rumored that when Einstein was asked how it felt to be the smartest man on Earth, he replied, “I wouldn’t know. Ask Nikola Tesla”.
