Snow White Controversy

[It[ kind of reminds me of when I wrote my Philosophy Paper in 101. I went to the professor five or six times, asking him about my thoughts on Existentialism--which was a decent enough essay, and we had a good rapport--and then I scrapped it for the easy question [because he didn't like it]. Which [the easier] was one of those dumb prompts they give you for a College Admission. And... the original would have been a lot better. But, I feared my philosophy professor's opinion so much, I turned in the essay I wrote in half an hour, rather than the essay I was writing for 2 weeks. You understand? Because if you have an unappeasable audience, you're going to turn out crap. So, if you're going to turn out something audiences are already prejudiced toward, it's best to just do the best job you can and be as authentic as possible. As I may have actually gotten an A in that class and not a B if I had just turned in the essay I was working on for the term.

Natural Religion vs Christianity

{}Natural Religion, {} is found all throughout the world, from Druids to Egyptians to Babylonians. Confucianism is probably the best example of natural religion, or some combination of it with Mozi and Lao Tsu. And from that we get Natural Law. But, that law is self evident, and can be understood by rational minds. Christianity is interesting, because it first assumes that rationale for it to exist. As we sin knowing sin is sin, and so therefore need redeemed from it by Christ's death and resurrection.

Pilate and Lentulus

Coming upon these two Syriac manuscripts
One by Publius Lentulus and another by Pilate
I've found 5th century Syriac sources
Written in the Syriac tongue---
When translations were fruitful
It would be around the 5th Century AD.
460 years after Christ.
Catholics say, "It is pseudepigraphal
"For no Lentulus ever was Publius."
Although, scholars said Nazareth never existed;
They've even gone so far as to say Israel
Didn't exist until the seventh century B.C..
Which we know is not true.
Why would translation work be done
And then hidden until the Renascence?
Mystery upon mystery.

The Enlightenment

[What people are calling "The Enlightenment"] is the exact opposite of the [E]nlightenment. Maybe we need a new [Enlightenment]? Don't you think?

[T]he introduction of Buddhism to the West is what caused it, like [one says] Nietzsche and Kant. The actual [E]nlightenment was what came before it. That's the beginning of Modernism what [they're] describing. 

Generally, The Enlightenment was established in the Philosophy of the Declaration of Independence, and based itself in reason and sound first principles. Fortunately, we still have its tradition preserved in the Constitution and Declaration, but in the phrase "We hold these truths to be self evident" [t]here's no admission of subjectivity, as "Self Evident" is not "Subjective" but rather based in first principles of something being of itself evident, which is how Geometry works. You read in Thomas Jefferson's letters, or Locke the cusp of the Enlightenment, which was philosophy based in sound and evident first principles, that were apparent to the learned, but maybe not the unlearned.

Descartes was famous for saying, "I think therefore I am" but the whole point of that, was to establish a true set of knowledge. Like Descartes was a Mathematician, and framed the Quadratic Equation in its modern incarnation. He was not afraid to claim there's objective knowledge. 

I'd actually say Nietzsche and Kant were the beginning of Modernism, as Modernism is the exact opposite of the Enlightenment, which it opposes that there's any true knowledge beyond the material. And Postmodernism objects to there being knowledge at all. 

The Enlightenment was man first discovering there was knowledge, and then giving that fire to the people, like Prometheus. I mean, the entire Enlightenment was of course created by the Masons, who founded that there was knowledge. That's why The French Revolution deified Reason. 

I don't know... something smells fishy about this.

My Brain

My brain is like a top of the line
Graphics Chip, only second from the best;
A fragmented, but top of the line Hard Drive 
With perfect recall; top of the line qRAM cards
And a Quantum Single Core Processor;
With a top of the line sound card,
Second from the best..

My graphics chip, is because I have Phantasia, and not Hyper-Phantasia.

My Hard Drive because I have great recall of events that have happened,
Even as far back as the age of one and a half.

My qRAM because my mind wanders all day, every day, and randomly bring back memories
So Qubits are the only thing that can run a Quantum Processor.

A Quantum Single Core, because my mind is singularly focused
And can only run one program at a time,
But I see through dichotomies, and see things through multiple layers and dimensions
While comprehending things without having direct evidence--I make pretty accurate leaps like in Calculus
By predicting the patterns.

My sound card, because I have near perfect pitch---
Not perfect pitch, but near perfect pitch, as my Memory cannot keep track
Of all the different pitches to have perfect pitch;
But I can recognize pitch when I hear it, and have something to base it off of.

Where Have the Fire Flies Gone?

I see lots of fireflies, they just have a short gestation period. About two or three weeks, that's all they're out for. Usually between June and July. Most insects are only spawning for a short period. Dragon Flies are no different. First comes the Horse Flies and House flies around Mayday and they peak around Memorial Day, and then the Dragon Flies come out and gobble up lots of them from July into August, that lasts about two months. The Mayflies are also usually only out around August and September--ironically because they're called "mayfly" but aren't out very long. Ticks also come out for a short period, about two months. I've observed that for close to seven years now. The Fire Flies aren't out for very long, and most people just aren't outdoors during the summer anymore, so they miss them. Now House Flies have a long gestation period, and so do Mosquitoes. But horseflies are usually dormant in Late August or Early September.

The Weal of Time

The weal of time is good, I say
As Robert Burns, Clive Lewis, gay,
Sings a song of Satan's din
Of the horrors of science been
Born of man who did gross deeds---
The moon of Sin is looked at clean
Where strange wars are fought in mental sides
And the miser of the world commits suicide.
For the frightened fact of great all tamed
Deceits of riches and worldly fame
Is to be ever lived upon this Earth;
But my love, such could only be a curse.
