My reading for today.

Energy independence, aka how to avoid being under the thumb of the USA and international oil cartels. Here’s a hint, it’s not all about energy in the aggregate, it’s about the ability to put a high energy substance into a small space in a car or vehicle (it’s better for heavy vehicles, admittedly). There is also the need to store it, and transport it. It is a very complex issue. And there is some reading between the lines required.
Sorry if the wording isn’t perfect, but I used to be an economics student! And my grandfather worked for shell oil and was a London School of Economics graduate, his father worked for Shell oil also. And his son Andy Foster is a member of parliament and is currently the Chairperson of the Transport & Infrastructure Select Committee and a member of the Governance & Administration Select Committee. Link here. He also used to be a parliamentary researcher for the national party (35ish years ago), and a currency trader/speculator (iirc). He was endorsed by Peter Jackson for mayor, and was also on the Wellington city council for 27 years, link here.
His father (Michael Foster) was a Freemason and seems to have died a horrible painful death, perhaps linked to satellites, cell towers and “gravity”, that is “artificial tightening of the trapezius muscles, neck and iliopsoas”, which seems to have crippled him over the course of many months.
**
The Helen Clark foundation (a think tank) wrote a report on this some years ago, and even though I do not always feel tremendous love for the Labour Party, Helen Clark, or their fondness for bizarre social engineering, I think that hydrogen power exports might be an intelligent idea. I did however meet Helen Clark once, as a child at the Karori Urban Wildlife Sanctuary, where we released two brown spotted kiwi into their little burrows.
I have been a long term proponent/fan of energy independence in New Zealand (it is because of the oil shocks in our past, as well as over reliance on American trade policy). I have been a fan of hydrogen power for a long time, because we have so much geothermal and hydroelectric energy generation in New Zealand, and it could provide a good way to convert and store kilojoules of energy into a substance that could be used for heavy vehicles, buses, trucks and other applications, without any harmful emissions (water vapour is the only emission at the end user level). And it could be a good export industry, but it’s legitimate economies of scale.

Just a quick few notes about education
I did about six weeks of commercial law 201 at victoria University. It’s nbd. I did some readings, and some lectures and stuff. And tutorials. Iirc. But I had to drop out. I also did half of financial accounting 302. I also read a law textbook for fun when I started commercial law 201. Because a friend lent me his textbook? It was the laws 121 textbook for law students. Even though I was doing commercial law for business. For those of you who don’t know, commercial law is compulsory for an accounting major, and there is a fairly significant amount of law required for an accounting student who wants to become a chartered accountant.
I was too sick though, so I had to drop out. This was at the start of 2010. Oh, I also read the textbook for HR201.
I did two years while pretty unwell, and wanted to do a third. But had to drop out due to ill health. The third year was supposed to be “part time” study. The. I went back again in 2010, but had to drop out due to poor health.
It sucked.
I just wanted to finish, you know? I wanted to finish university. But I couldn’t. The physio therapists couldn’t help me with my back, and the doctors couldn’t help me with my illness (they just said it was “chronic fatigue syndrome” and didn’t help me). It sucked. They also claimed that they couldn’t help me with my digestive symptoms, and pretended that the symptoms I described weren’t really an issue. The whole thing sucked. The medical professionals just fobbed me off. Most of the doctors I saw were employees of Victoria University in this era. Although I had seen one GP at the Mazengarb road surgery, an ordinary GP clinic, who fobbed me off and insulted me back in 2006 (our family clinic). I later started going to KYS (Kapiti Youth Support), which was the local free doctors’ surgery for under 25s. But they misled me as to the nature of my illness. I was unable to return to study. I hated that situation. I had chronic fatigue syndrome, back problems, and very bad digestive problems.
I need to do a proper education post.
**
Papers that start with a two are second year papers, with a one are first year papers. And with a three are third year papers. Quan111 includes multi variate calculus, linear algebra and matrices. It’s our calculus and linear algebra. We did stuff including saddle points. The other paper quan 102 included things like normal distributions, and I forget what else. That one was exactly the same as the other stats paper stat 193. Fcom110 includes a couple of segments about the nz legal environment. Some law (and regulation) was included in tax, audit and financial papers.
I also learned about policing and law through my program of deliberate and focused reading in criminology. Which included two textbooks and Amanda’s old binders of course notes, as well as ten carefully selected high quality books about criminology available from the university library (I was bored, okay?)
I also have taken a little bit of interest in stuff like law due to my interest in economics (see Ayn Rand’s non fiction, and also see Hernando de Soto the mystery of capital). I also have taken an interest in religion, especially Christianity (by extension, I have read the mosaic law code many, many, many times).
Amanda used to teach “policing and criminology” as a part time job back in about 2011. By distance. And she was a criminology graduate and tutor in the field. So I was able to read her books about policing.
Yes, she used to be a tutor via Victoria University who taught two entire papers to New Zealand police before they were able to become full detectives (I think that was her job). She then later become a regulator working for: the nursing council of nz, the Nz charities register (part of the DIA), nzqa, and tertiary education commission. She was a regulator for education. And also deeply involved in standards and funding. We talked a lot about her work. And so I did some reading about those topics.

What is love? Love is patient, love is kind…?
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Why did we keep on having sex after the thing that happened?
Btw, sex with Amanda was more about duty than anything else for those 6 years. She wanted kids, and the clock was ticking. In hindsight, it was a sick and disturbing situation.
I couldn’t even shower. I felt gross, I was covered in dead skin and dirt, and I would have stopped having sex if it were not so important to her. She also guilted me a bit, saying that “it was hard for her to feel loved if we weren’t having sex”.
Also, I was crippled because of her clique (her and her friends).
Ps: I became crippled on the “feldenkrais exercises head nods day”. Search for that elsewhere on this page if you want to know more. They (Chinese plus the Amanda/Siobhan/Brynn/Lesley/Sarah/Paul/Matthew clique try to obfuscate the issues around my becoming crippled).

This is just random history.
I used to read plenty of the encyclopaedia Wikipedia on my phone during my years of being crippled. Because I couldn’t do anything else.
The moral of the story, is that throughout history there are many ways to arrange, rearrange and manage one’s society. Another good period of time to learn about is the Meiji restoration in Japan.

Stuff to write about
Long term relationships: girlfriends, partners, lovers and family
Amanda and Brynn are long term lovers. Amanda is Brynn’s girlfriend. They are very close. They have been together since high school (unbeknownst to me). I think that Brynn is Amanda’s favourite, and vice versa. Siobhan and Amanda are also long term lovers. They have been together since high school. They are very close, but seemingly not as close as Amanda and Brynn. Amanda and Brynn now have a child together. Lesley and Brynn get along fairly well also (kind of like family; I don’t think they have sex though? But Lesley is kind of like Brynn’s mother-in-law).
Ps: Brynn always wanted to make “pumpkin pie” (that symbolically means that she wanted to seduce me and to create children)
I did not know about any of this until 2022.

Sex Games and Babies
Question: Are the potential girlfriends/harem girls bland, ugly, plain, or just too "meh" to date?
Violence, Coercion and Force in the course of getting a harem
Way back 18 months ago, when initially discussing this whole thing, I said that I wanted a girlfriend, not a harem. Or something like two girlfriends, if that was on offer. And if it had to be a harem, I wouldn’t have wanted a harem that’s governed by force, violence or coercion. I would only have wanted a harem if the women actually wanted to be a part of it, or ask of their own free will to be a part of it.

And now for a quick look at the ethical problems associated with the use of violent coercion, ie, physical force, to get women to be a part of my virtualised “harem”
Pretty Enough? Yes, easily!

And a couple of photos of Lily. There is a lot of material that just got updated recently.
For those new to this blog, general disambiguation and the grab bag will set some things straight. But there is so much background that it can be hard to catch up or keep up.

As of today, here is my update: Angela, Ambika, Grace and Brynn said they are all mine forever. That is “in perpetuity”. Forever! Also, "Alice" (I forget her real name) from high school said that she was “in” too. In my opinion, Alice was the most attractive girl in my year at school. I have asked Siobhan to leave me alone. I am currently trying to convince the computer system that I have dropped her. She and Brynn are trying to be a little bit too “clever” in their use of the computer system and the rules of their culture. They have tried to be altogether “too clever” for a long time.

How important was “Siobhan” to me? Back when we were young?
Not very. I hardly knew her in high school. I only spoke to her for about 10 minutes cumulatively in high school. And since then only about 5 minutes once on Facebook at the age of 21.
Back when I was in high school, I preferred girls like: Clare, Amanda, Emma Mackay, Leah and Brynn. Amanda, Jess Mackenzie and Grace were all friends of mine. Amanda was my closest female friend at Paraparaumu college (15-18). And Jess Mackenzie my closest female friend in general (she lived back in Hawke's Bay). Most of my friends were guys. Siobhan was hardly on my radar at all.

My health and “the magic wand”
Ever since I was 18 years old, what I have wanted most was to have my health back. I was supposed to receive my health back after sleeping with someone. I.e. the magic wand. But I did not receive the magic wand. After that, what does anything matter?
I slept with someone (as required to) back in Christchurch, but did not receive my health back? I was lied to. After that, what does anything matter? My health was the prize, for me. That’s what I was fighting for. But they denied me the thing I wanted most. While also pretending that I was fighting for a non existent ideology. And also pretending that I was a Taoist.
They pretended that I was a Taoist and also that I was fighting for a non-existent ideology. In particular, Siobhan and her associates lied to the “computer system”, and the audience.
I am not a Taoist. And I don’t have a specific ideology. I used to be a Christian, if that helps. Also, I used to admire people like Norm Kirk, Tage Erlander and Olaf Palme. The history of socialism in those countries has a bit of Christianity heritage woven into it. But I also had/have a lot of admiration for the history and people of Switzerland.
But I “identify” as someone who has suffered a lot of harm and has had a very difficult life. Someone who for a very long time had simply wanted to get healthy and get a life, get some friends (any decent friends), finish a degree (any degree), get some hobbies (any decent hobby) and get a job (any job). I was not hyper political in the past, because I had met even bothered to join a political party. My life was awful from 2011 to 2016, and worse from 2016 to 2022. And even from mid December 2006 through to 2011 it was full of health problems and issues. And I never knew what caused them. I don’t think people know how bad it was, even like from 2006-2011, or 2011-2016. And I sought so much health advice and professional support and help. I saw a lot of doctors and physio therapists. I did everything I could, but had so many problems.
I do not “identify” as someone who was a political activist 2007-2016. Instead I was a struggling and sick student in 2007 and 2008, and an invalid ever since then.
I wasn’t fighting for an ideology. I was just plain unwell. And also I wasn’t a misogynist (I have already defined this down below). I define myself as != misogynist.

Dating non-Christian

2016 to 2022… Uhh. They set up an AI generated computer program to keep the muscles on my insides taut, or to maintain excessive tension. Even as I shifted from sitting to standing. They did it for years, to maintain the crippling.
It wasn’t “water guns” as these delusional people claim that it was (they keep on telling me that it was “just water guns”, and showing me a picture of a small water pistol, but it wasn’t).
It meant that I couldn’t heal or otherwise restore the proper shape of my torso. Language doesn’t capture the information or truth of the matter properly: but it was a travesty, and worse than you realise. And there was no way to solve it.
They were and are totally out of touch with reality on this one.
They created an automated computerised widget.

A body into that shape is wrong
To put a body into that shape (I.e. position and arrangement of bones and muscles and sinew) and then to keep it that way for six years deserves a lifetime in prison. A worse punishment than that for murder. Uhh. I’m not being over the top. It was a highly unnatural way for a back, pelvis, hips and shoulders to be. But it is very difficult to pain the right picture for you in words.
You have to have read the other things that I wrote to understand it fully.
Ps: I get manipulated into sounding “shrill” but to tell the truth about these sorts of things makes a person sound shrill. And this set of people have desensitised themselves to human suffering. But it really was incredibly bad.

They kept me crippled: 24/7 - 365
After the thing that happened in 2016, and my back went bad, they kept my body locked down using with my own muscles for 6 years. They maintained tight muscles.
The thing that happened (this is a new attempt of a new description) it changed the relationship between my pelvis and hips, as well as my shoulders chest and back. As well as my abdominal muscles and my torso as a whole. And then pulled everything taut internally, so I could never reassert a normal relationship between hips and pelvis, shoulders and back. It compromised and ruined the integrity of my back/shoulders and chest, and the hip/pelvis relationship (hips turned out, pelvis rolled inwards, tailbone up, and ruined the integrity of my feet, and ruined the integrity and support of my abdominal wall. While standing, I couldn’t even pick up my feet off the ground to waggle them about safely!! I struggled to get on to the toilet, and off again. I had to brace my hips and pelvis together.
They kept it that way, actively, using my own muscles, 24/7.

China Education System
China deliberately corrupted their own education system. They dumbed themselves down. And it shows.
Dumbed themselves down from 49 to 58, and then lost tens of millions people because of stupidity.
And they still dumb themselves down now, and it shows.
Ram, remember, regurgitate.
And bad psychology, including bad social psychology.pa/ not all education occurs at school and university. A lot of it happens via the (harmonised) media, and cadre education schools.
Xi’s dad has a lot of influence on curriculum in the lead up to the Great Leap Forward. He functioned as the equivalent of a cabinet minister, and an education* minister.
And later he did a lot of stuff in the areas of constitutional law, kinda like Geoffrey Palmer.
Added:
(While chairman of the CCP propaganda department, which is responsible for censorship and also party cadre curriculum), he concurrently served as deputy director and Party Secretary of the Government Administration Council's Committee on Culture and Education.
He participated in the miseducation of the Chinese people and cadres in the 50s, and then a bunch of people died. Not all of the blood of the 30-40 million killed after the 50s is on Mao’s hands alone.
He helped to dumb people down prior to the Great Leap Forward!
Just read those two speeches of Mao’s I referenced the other day if you want to know how bad it was! They (party cadres) had to be issued economics textbooks on the fly during the famine, because they didn’t have them.

Hiding
Personally, I’d just like for there to be places to hide. Just from the satellites themselves. Or the “remote control electromagnetic nerve splicing” technology itself (from both satellites and cell towers).
And the best way to do that is with a social movement combined with new technologies.
I want people to be able to take refuge. Aka, to seek shelter, or to hide from this technology in the skies. We can live hidden? We can form the new “underground” of electromagnetically hidden people. We can have minds that are private again, and we can rebuild our personalities through a combination of education, conversation, reading and privacy. We can have normal friendship again.
I’m not a hive-mind guy. There are a lot of people out there who just aren’t hive-mind guys, or hive-mind girls.
Postscript
Note: In the aggregate, over time, culture changes. But never mind that for now. Get the technology operating first.
Note 2: But in the medium to long term, culture matters. As Drucker said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”.

I now kinda have to hold myself (my body) together pretty hard, it’s really uncomfortable. You can’t really see it in photos though. Life is strange, and very difficult.

Posture
Apropos of nothing, posture is “long term habit” and it is stored in the map of your body/nervous system stored in your mind/brain. Sort of.
It also involves things like a “set point”. But the “model isn’t the same as the thing being described.”
This might be one of the times where posting information doesn’t help me, but oh well.

Lack of genuine understanding, lack of basic intellectual competence
Chinese Marxist Leninists who have adopted the principles and ideas of the international university system’s “empire of ideas”, including the ideas of the international trade environment and international governance, they don’t understand philology. They don’t understand words. They just don’t.
They (and feminists) also have very poor theory of mind, given that a lot of it comes from harmful eastern psychological practises such as sitting meditation, and associated dogmas and superstitions.
Read the “dark tower” by Lewis, and maybe you’ll understand. Maybe you won’t..?

The Chinese, on matters of the intellect
My father
The alliance between ivory tower (the empire of ideas) and international trade and commerce (tradists)
Empire of ideas is allied with the tradists. That is, the forces of trade, production, extraction and wealth (aka capital). Or fractionated wealth, if you prefer.
There is a “debordian spectacle” hiding a lot of it. Sort of. The ideas of Debord aren’t actually very good. Obscuring it.
You can do like a franchisee model (metaphorical) for your nation, just by adopting a lot of stuff from the empire of ideas, and if you do, the tradists will give you nice deals. This is the biggest oversimplification in the world.
Is China just absorbing the ideas of the empire of ideas, and also getting favours from the “tradists”. To make up for their shallow talent pool, and lack of intellectual heft? And to recover from Mao? Since 1980?
**
Tradists and the university system’s “empire of ideas”.
Lets you paint by numbers.

The “alliance”
The alliance between ivory tower (the empire of ideas) and international trade and commerce (tradists)
They push a particular model for life, a mode of existence. I call it “the society of the mall”. But that might be out of date. Maybe the society of the distribution centre, shipping network and online shopping. Consumer capitalism and mass production. [still out of date, but now it has morphed, and includes “voter activist management” by remote control; and the alliance is trying to lock down control over extractive assets preemptively, including oils, gas, mining, fisheries and farm land]
No action points for education. None.
Ps: you have to have universities and polytechs. You just do. And you absolutely do need international trade (it’s called economies of scale). But you can have simplified international trade, and less of it (particularly if you abolish patent law and copyright law).
Maybe what we need is “pleb politics”, where we can legislate by petition initiated direct democracy (at 66% mail ballot majority). And can even do omnibus legislation. And even strike down legislation too. For example, the anti-smacking law. Or introduce few of the laws I’ve mentioned elsewhere. Might be suitable for NZ.
The universities of the world:
They set the tone for what happens in the education systems of the world: primary, secondary, early childhood, polytech, ito, and many others. And because of that they shape the human capital we work with. They also shape things like language and history. And the rules for business. And they gate keep who is allowed to become a member of the civil service and who can become a school teacher. They also gate keep who can become an “internationally transferable” academic, and who can become an accountant, certified financial analysts, and often gate keep corporate governance. And they gate keep politicians.

Not directly related, but see also The Dark Tower and other stories by C.S. Lewis. Here is the link.
That book gives you a feel for what the social planners of the western world (especially the Anglosphere) were thinking in the mid 20th century, particularly those situated at Oxford. It was released in 1977, 14 years after he died. He had a seat at the table when long term social and economic planning was being discussed, both literally and metaphorically.
Note: C.S Lewis died on exactly the same day as Aldous Huxley and JFK, November 22, 1963.

Scenario Planning: DDOS scammers
By the way, what happens if 2 years from now, Nigerian scammers, Kenya, Egypt or scammers from Ecuador, or South Africa can build an installation, point it at the sky, and threaten to DDOS the satellites, unless spacex pays them 50 million dollars. But now imagine that the technology is open source, and easily replicated, and affordable.
That was just a thought experiment.
Now imagine that it is a nation state actor, or a “militia” with ties to the state.
Or a decentralised leaderless collective of libertarians based in Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee (this seems a little bit more realistic). Blackmail for money.Or blackmail the system for policy concessions.
Not black mail, instead, hold the satellites hostage for money.

I thought it would have been a big story. Because a guy was crippled, filthy, freezing and (at the time I thought) kept on camera. By the way, I was lucid and thinking, but very screwed up physically.

Psychological Tools of the Far East
Why break feet under Confucian beliefs?
So they don’t become a gossip, a busy body or a cheat. They just stay home and spin thread. Assuming the household is wealthy enough to support that. It’s an exaggeration, but the principle is sound. Reduce mobility so that women won’t cause trouble or drama.

Why use the word “fae”
I keep using the word “fae” in my head to speak to the fae-druj. And I wanted to explain to the people in the outside why I keep using the word in my head.
********
What does it mean to say “fae”?
Something like lords and ladies from Terry Pratchett.Or falling through narnia into another realm.Or on Faerie stories by JRR tolkein.https://youtu.be/3HSsr7PoEIw?si=6K6Zrpc6_hZ8n7sxhttps://coolcalvary.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/on-fairy-stories1.pdf
Something where you find yourself in another world, hidden. A strange and perilous world? The world of faerie.
Mostly the book lords and ladies by Pratchett? Where someone crosses over into the realm of the elves, or they come here. No, it is the “wee free men”, you end up I. The world of the elves. See also: elves and beagles in the long earth series. All Pratchett. Elves in the wee free men are dumb and vicious. And not that glamorous. I love the Tiffany aching books, even though they are for kids. Pa: I love the trolls in the long earth.
I don’t think the term helps others, but it’s what I like. It’s just a short hand.
Either that or the “vrill” people, or the “philosopher kings”. I am not sure what metaphor to use for you guys? I don’t want to use the word “shadow oligarchy”. Too lame. Please don’t about reading any of those.

I get accused of misogyny?
Do I value women…
In a normal society, I could quite happily have had a wife for 45 years? Married at 23, together until 68 when we died?
But the men and women of the fae/druj dislike marriage and monogamy?
I don’t think the women of the fae (druj? Or those attached to druj men) are representative of normal women.
And their opinions about relationships and the structure of society aren’t representative of what normal women think.
**
Define druj: partisan of deception, deceiver; characterised by falsehood. Those who are detestable dishonest, and cause discord and disorder. Potentially societal chaos.
We just don’t have good enough words some times in our language.
**
By disorder and chaos, I mean things like the Ukrainian holocaust, the Stalinist Khazak genocide, Hitler’s murder squads and death camps, Mao’s genocidal reign of wilfully deranged folly, pol pots daft murderous campaign. Or how horrible Chinese society was for centuries.
I think the behaviour of these low quality people tends towards causing bad things to happen.
********
So yeah, I value women. And would love and cherish a woman for life if I had one worth loving.
I’m not sure if I am in trouble with the rules for talking about monogamy though.

“Inevitably, personal behaviours are still central to the global status of syphilis. For example, researchers have recorded sharp rises in cases amongst men who have sex with men. They propose this has much to do with a reduction in condom use, which for many years has been a key form of protection against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that can cause another STI – AIDS. A result of HIV increasingly being seen as a manageable, chronic condition rather than the untreatable disease it once was. Similarly, recent research in Japan has suggested a direct link between rising syphilis cases and the increased use of dating apps by young heterosexual men and women.”
“Women in such communities are particularly vulnerable and cases of congenital syphilis (that means that you’re born with it) in their children have also increased significantly.”
This page is possibly a misrepresentation, or an understatement:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_syphilis_cases
But a lot of people had syphilis from engaging in rampant weird sex stuff back in the day, or visiting prostitutes, having numerous extramarital affairs. And the “cures” often hurt them very badly.
Mental illness caused by late-stage syphilis was once a common form of dementia. This was known as the general paresis of the insane.
A lot of our “leaders”, as well as the “movers and shakers” of the past were suffering from mental illness due to syphilis. Insiders?
A LOT of them. So many. So many. So many. So many. So many. So many.

JFK had massive issues due to sexually transmitted infections, and their treatment (he took dodgy anti-biotic that ruined his bones, and encouraged fractures).

By the way, alcohol prohibition was a scam, so was temperance. The system wanted to create and fund a criminal underworld, so it pushed prohibition. It sucks.
Bootlegging alcohol is profitable.
See Al Capone, also see Chicago in the 30s.
See all of the other crime families to see if alcohol had anything to do with financing their activities. For example, Kansas, just to pick one at random.

Science: culture and tradition?
Courses:
Early Modern England
The Royal Society, on Britannica, or Wikipedia, or other
**
If you want to understand science, then one of the best ways to do that is to read the stories of those who do science (as well as engineering and medical research). And the other way is also to look at the history of science, and the history of the applications of science. And the cultural, philosophical, linguistic and religious underpinnings of science.
One of the reasons that England was so good at science was because of their religious and cultural background. As well as their language. Shared linguistic ties with continental Europe also helped, and many early scientists spoke multiple languages. As well as Greek and Latin. They also engaged in Bible studies, which involves some understanding of languages and translation.

Note:
The People’s Republic of China has only one Nobel prize for science or medicine, so far as I can tell. New Zealand has three?
General Education
Here is some general education about the enclosure movement. In England we engaged in the forced privatisation of agricultural. We did this for good or for ill? It is wise to read about it.
It was probably unjust, and forced people off of the land. But it greatly improved agricultural output, and fed the people.
As a side effect, a lot of the people pushed off of the land ended up in the cities, and formed a large potential labour force, of people desperate for work. They were poor and needed jobs m, and ended up working in factories. It is a very important part of history. Don’t view it with modern eyes, and don’t view it with a “value laden” point of view, instead just try to understand it dispassionately.
It is an extremely important part of history, for a variety of reasons. And it isn’t hard to learn about. You can lead a lot in just 45 minutes or more. Good luck.

Why did I say I didn’t want person xyz (Brynn or grace)
I’m supposed to want things that they can offer? But what I most wanted was an end to the fighting, and to have my health returned to me. That, and good faith conversation, friendship, and physical exercise.
Ummm. I am into women?!
But I was mostly into women I had never met before!I’d have liked a fresh start!!
And to escape from their set of people. Although, they claim that there is no “out”.
********
Blast off!
They had this idea that they could blast my conscious mind to pieces by shredding the inner monologue to pieces. But the theory is bunk.
They wanted to shred it to pieces. Create a blank slate. A tabula rasa.
And then examine the “ID” or underlying desires. The raw biological urges, as though those exist in some sort of primordial subconscious state.
The whole thing is asinine, the product of second rate minds.
The desires don’t exist independently of things like ideas or concepts or the conceptual mind. Nor do they exist independently of relationships.
Also the “governor/observer” was still functioning.
Desires don’t work the way they think they do, and consciousness doesn’t work the way they think it does. They’re just asinine.
********
What would I want…. Other than really good health and fitness, good posture and breathing, a healthy back etc.
Ummm. A generic hot chick, or maybe two. Who tell me they want to be a part of my life because they think I’m great. And have no connection to anything bad happening in my life. (Or maybe, six, but too much drama maybe!)
What these people consider “love” is silly also. And a feeling of desire isn’t a connection either. The whole conversation is pretty much inane.
The conversation itself doesn’t make any sense. It’s almost totally incoherent. That is, their conversation about sex, desire, longing, wanting etc
********
Also, to visualise isn’t to want or desire something. Sometimes it is just to “sample” possibilities?!

To blank your mind
And to think that letting all wants, images and thoughts, and reactions melt away and settle to the bottom of your mind is daft too. That’s just Buddhism, aka the eastern cult of emptiness. And that set of far eastern oriental superstitions and dogmas is pretty lame in the first place. It’s just idol worship, and is really boring. There’s nothing to there worth paying attention to. Or not much.
The dogmas and superstitions of the far eastern orientals are worthy of studying. They are fascinating and disturbing. And tend to create misogynistic, uncaring societies where people look the other way. Turn a blind eye to bad things that happen to other people. They have high suicide rates (both mystical and for other reasons, seppuku, Taoist elixir based “immortality”, Japanese suicide rates). And they have special techniques to encourage this to stop caring, the Chinese invention of Zazen. Not only that, but their theory of mind is pretty meh.
The psychological techniques of the far eastern orientals deliberately bring about a stultification of the mind. By that I mean meditation. It hollows out the part of the mind that would often be considered a part of the “self”. The name of these techniques is “meditation”. I have very little faith in these techniques.
And they worship idols and craven images and symbols. Societies like that end up being awful. Especially to women.
Application: they want me to practise “thought stopping” to stop visualising and looking at things, because it offends them. And to stop thinking about things, or just let thoughts fall away. But that’s just bunkum from the far eastern oriental’s cult of emptiness, Buddhism.

Ummm. It’s a good lecture, but a little dry. It’s not especially easy. But if you’re you enjoy academic lectures, the. It’s good.
[Tibetan Buddhism is just an extension of polytheistic religion and superstition and idol worship. It’s just one more cult, at least until fairly recently.]
It’s just idol worship. You visualise and engage in spiritual practises involving “graven images”. You meet the deities of their superstitious world. See the Tibetan book of the dead.
It’s the stuff that Muslims hate. And it’s also the stuff that puritans hate. And it’s also the stuff that makes life hell for young, exploited women. It creates societies that are hateful towards women. Slight hyperbole, but if you look at China and Thailand, you will find that they have history of breaking women’s feet, creeps taking Taoist sex potions, mega brothels in Thailand using so much hot water that it causes subsidence, men selling daughters to traffickers who will put them in prostitution, men who mistreat their harems in China that badly they get poisoned. They hide their women to hide the abuse and misery, broken feet to keep them immobile, and illiterate to keep them isolated, so they can’t organise anything.
Men who dress their women in silks, but don’t bother to give them good water to drink. Or adequate water in which to bathe. A society of slaves, concubines, plural marriage, and interminable disease. A society of rebellions and brigandage. A hell on earth. A place of darkness and despair. It is one of the places that missionaries warned you about. It was horrible.
Ps: in India (change topic), sati was created to disincentivise poisoning of husbands by wives. Banned by the British. Wives in India were so miserable that they wanted to murder their husbands all the time. As a former economics student, I understand that people respond to incentives.

Chinese Boarder
Asinine theory of mind
Ummm. Their theory of mind is asinine. Inane.
They have this idea that “base biological urges” exist and “higher order consciousness” exists. And that if you wiped the higher order consciousness, then what shows through is the “base biological urges”. And that you can modify the base biological urges through conditioning. And you can bypass the “higher order consciousness”. I.e. thinking in words working your own mind and making decisions based on that, or operating from the “observer” position in the mind.
But it’s nonsense. Higher order consciousness and base biological urges are intertwined. And the higher order consciousness still exists even if the words are being impacted by white noise (constant questions and answers).
The people who push this nonsense aren’t exactly first rate thinkers. They are like clumsy, ignorant children.
They also engage in inane babbling about garbage, and pretend it makes sense.
By the way, much of my “theory of mind” is just practise. It’s not theory, it’s just experience. It’s more like “practice of mind”.
And their mental practices and techniques are garbage.
***
Corporations
China has fully adopted corporations and the “corporate model” even for farming. Weird highly modified collective for land ownerships, but massive vertically integrated corporations for lots of things. And hyper consumerism. And malls and distribution centres. They’re just as bad as the capitalist nations. And they’re destroying their whole environment horrifically. Why? Because corporations are bad stewards of the land, and also China has bad (or mediocre) accounting practise, and a culture of dishonesty. Also, they fail to count the true cost of pollution and environmental degradation in their GDP or balance streets.
They’ve also adopted a lot of the concepts and “learnings” and practises of what I call “the empire of ideas” (universities or whatever).
Ummmm. I’m not sure that China really has a solid intellectual foundation for anything, or really knows what they’re doing.
In matters of the intellect, they’re normally not thought of all that highly.
So when they talk about want, versus the higher order consciousness thinking about desire, then maybe they don’t have any genuine understanding?
Maybe they lack the intellectual heft to be taken seriously on matters such as theory of mind, psychology or sociology? They have a history of being mostly inane when it comes to psychology (most psychology comes from religion anyway) and secular psychology tends to be pretty feeble. And given that they have a fairly young nation, and it was enmeshed in (self inflicted) famine, disaster and civil ware until 1980, they have had time to develop real understanding in the field?
As a moderately intelligent man, I see little evidence of high quality thinking coming out of PRC. Even these psychological games they play seem to have been invented by English universities.
FWIW, I respect zen meditation about as much as I respect foot binding. It damages a vital part of the self (body-mind-consciousness) for ease of societal control.
[Consciousness is an emergent property of the body-mind, when people exist in community with one another. Language and conversation also help.]
***
The problem with men who have unbound souls, is that they burn with anger at the injustice in the world, and they want to change it. They want to fight for justice, and for the oppressed and down trodden.
***
And this bothers the powerful. Who love the superstitions, dogmas, practises and traditions of the far east, because they cause you to stop caring, and just accept that the world is horrible. Or near enough. They kill the part of you that burns with injustice, or wants to make it better. The powerful want a society of placid people who just put up with it. So they use the techniques of the east. Sometimes they use technology to administer them such as satellites or apps on your phones (headspace).
**
It creates a society of oppressed miserable women, wives, concubines, courtesans, whores and wretched female house servants. It also creates cultures of long lasting slavery. Such as the unbroken 1500 years of hereditary slavery in Korea.
The beliefs of the East create a hell for women and the oppressed. People of Confucian belief embrace patriarchal oppression and repression as their way of life. And eastern religion encourages people to simply look the other way when it comes to injustice (3 wise monkeys) and to stop caring about the fact that there are bad things in life, for you of for others. Rant over.
Start of digression and general life history
He was massively involved in the Christian scene (Karori Baptist church) and his Christian businesses in Taupo. He was mega, mega Christian.
Ties to the Christian scene: Uncle Andy is also Christian aligned (or pretends/pretended to be), and Uncle Jonathan was also mega Christian also. Aunty Monica and Tim Tautau were pastors, and met in Bible school.
Edit:
My church and my family and my friends kept me in the dark about both my health and Amanda. And my extended family. And my doctors. And my physiotherapists.
(I was as sick as a dog from 2007 onwards (some periods of feeling better). Fatigue, exhaustion, weakness, sleep, digestion. And badly impaired from about 2011 onwards. It got called cfs, and back issues.)

********
Meditation and Eastern psychological dogma
If life is full of suffering, unsatisfactoriness, and the good things in life are temporary, and it bothers you, then why not redefine the self as non existent?
And then you take the part of your mind that reminds you of the fact that you are a discrete individual, and keeps thinking as though you are an actual person, a "self", and smother and stultify it until it gives up.
And then it doesn't bother you that life is full of suffering and unsatisfactoriness, and that the good things in life are temporary.
Meditation is a form of cognitive self mutilation, that you engage in until the part of the mind that used to be classified as the self (or the most significant part of the self) is smothered to death. It empties you out until it doesn’t bother you so much that life is not all it could be, i.e. is full of suffering and unsatisfactoriness, and that the good things in life are temporary.
***
And then they turn a blind eye to prostitution, trafficking, slavery, oppression, idolatry, polytheistic spiritual practise, drugs, harems, women with broken feet (foot binding), corruption, occult practises, poverty, genuine disdain and contempt for women, debt, extreme usury, incredibly unjust indentured servitude (to pay off fake debts), and other social ills.
The three wise little monkeys: they see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.

More background
Back when I was about 21/22, my core muscles were pulled taut, and my posture modified in such weird ways, that I couldn’t even garden without it hurting my spine. I couldn’t push my arms out fully extended from my body, if that makes sense. I couldn’t garden with my arms pushed out extended to work, or else my spine hurt, just in between my shoulders. At around T2-3. Not to do housework, or even light gardening. Sometimes it was like this, sometimes it wasn’t. I didn’t know what caused it though.
*
I also had to do weird accounting on energy levels, just to cope or manage at all.
*
There were so many issues back then. It was really bad. I had back issues, spine issues, problems with my mid back, problems with breathing, problems with digestion (extremely severe constipation, and stool hardness, caused artificially), extreme fatigue.
Uhhh, exercise was totally out of the question.
****
Intellectual Exercise
They knew that "reverse social engineering" at the time was a part of an intellectual exercise. And that I engaged in my intellectual exercise to keep myself sane. While suffering horribly for years.. even though Siobhan hides and obscures how bad things were, by misleading people through bad and “low quality” reporting.
****
Take Dannevirke for example
I wasn’t able to sleep on my right side. I wasn’t able to curl up on the couch with a book. I wasn’t able to relax in an armchair to watch a movie.
I have to do weird things just to stay upright. And it’s hard to breathe normally.
Of course my body was still disabled/impaired. And the impairment is long term.
Paul and the rest of the set have made the false assertion that was healthy by the time I was in Dannevirke. This assertion is false.
***
Health
What does it mean to be healthy? I can jump rope, play a round of gentle tennis and a decent game of table tennis, hit a boxing bag and focus mitts. And be light on my feet.
Ugh. And breathe normally, and not to have to brace my torso/back unnaturally.
***
I would gladly have remained celibate until I was fully healthy, and regained fully my normal capacity for physical movement.
And also had had a shave, shower (including washing my hair) and a haircut.
But I wasn’t allowed to. They insisted I start having sex. I would have preferred to remain celibate.
***
Because of them and their remote control electronic nerve splicing technology: I was very sick for four years (2007 -2011), I suffered five years debilitating impairment (2011-2016), and then spent seven years totally crippled and in horrible conditions (2016-2023).

This is Clare by the way. I liked her back in high school! She’s intelligent, beautiful, educated, witty and really easy to get along with. She used to dance. She has a first class honours degree in public policy. We were in a couple of classes together (economics and accounting).
She got pregnant in university, had the child, married the guy, there were fights, and then she left. I think she goaded him into hitting her so that she was justified in leaving. She is (nominally) a Catholic.
She’s married with children now. Link.

Someone asked:
Question: Was I an egg in school?Answer: no
Question: was I a bully in school.Answer: no
Uhhh, I was pretty much normal to people.
I deliberately avoided bullying people.
I told a lot of jokes, make people laugh. Was fairly outgoing and talkative. Loved books, liked school. Played tons of video games. Some sports depending where/when. Went to youth group. Had my usual sets of people. Did well in school, and worked hard sometimes. But I wasn’t hyper driven. I was the smart kid in my year. Smartest male, smartest period haha, but I didn’t fight to win dux.
I hung out with guys more than girls, played a lot of halo 2. The youth group set was good fun.
Umm. I did judo, boxing, Muay Thai and briefly karate, but never talked about them. I lifted and did body weight exercise, but they weren’t topics of conversation.
I would just hang out and have fun!? I was fun to be around. If people wanted to watch movies, or play video games, or go to the pools, I was happy to go.
I liked the youth group set back in Hawke’s Bay (my time in Paraparaumu college was only three years!). And spent tons of time with the walkers. The Walker brothers were into video games. David was my best friend at that time in school. We just played tons of games.
I just did normal stuff!! Pretty much!!
Including normal dumb kid stuff. Like cricket with a tree worth of grape fruit, dismantling fireworks to rebuild them, ammonium nitrate smoke bombs, roller blading, sog-by (soccer and rugby). Playing with coding and video game design. I didn’t drink or do drugs. Or try smoking. Only times I tried alcohol under 18 was when my grandparents gave me wine to try with dinner.
But when I went off to university, I tried drinking (not that much) or went out to a couple bars and stuff with Amanda etc. dancing and whatever.
I got drunk once when I was 20, but not really that drunk. I was merely ebullient, and walked sideways when I got up to go to the bathroom. It was just board games with Rachel and Amanda (Rachel was Amanda’s best friend at the time). It was just leftover vodka found in the freezer.
Uhhh. In high school, my identity was “genius”. And I was a gamer. That was who I was.
And when I “grew up” I wanted to be an inventor, but I also wanted to make some video games. A bit of both. But I figured that I could do both along the way, once I had a bit of money. And I could learn how to do both on my own, sort of. I’d need a day job of course. What did I want to invent? Products, of course. But I figured I could release most of the them (or some) for free under Creative Commons, or open source. Easier to not have to deal with patents etc.

Edit: November 14th: Uhhhh. I started lifting at about 14/15. But it was just stuff like pushups and dumbbells to begin with.
As for the martial arts, I did normal stuff. I did judo, karate, Muay Thai, boxing. Not much karate though. And table tennis, hockey and soccer. I was pretty humble in the original post. Perhaps the wrong tone. Maybe I tried to be too humble? I grew up with humility being the way to do things.
Uhhhh. Ummmm. Going further back. I did all the normal kid stuff like climbing trees and playing lunch time rugby, and wrestling + dunking other kids under water when I went swimming.
It was normal judo, Muay Thai and boxing. 6, 6, and 9 months respectively. Ummm.

Quick update/addition: only a small thing
Also, he groped a twelve year old girl’s backside while we were at my form two school camp. He is a creep. This gave him a reputation for being a “pedophile”. He “copped a feel”, while “helping” her climb up a boulder. She gave him the dirtiest look I’d ever seen afterwards.
She wasn’t impressed.
I think he did it as a power play, not out of lust or desire though, and because he kind of has contempt for women. And he wants to break down their boundaries a bit. Even when they are very young.
Edit: I hope this newly modified segment about the 12 year old plays well? But I think it might make me sound whiny?
But you don’t take both of your hands and place them open handed on a girls backside, one cheek in each hand, to push her up the side of the boulder. Like two fully open hands each firmly holding one buttock. Two hands full of flesh. That’s not an accident 🙃.
And the boulder wasn’t even that high! And he was in the way! He actually made it harder for her to climb. He’s just weird! I don’t think she suffered horrifically, it’s not that bad. She wasn’t traumatised for life. But it’s just weird and creepy!!! He didn’t go for her hips or her waist. He went for her butt cheeks 🫠🙃.
Ps: I moved this from the setting the record straight file, because it wasn’t playing well. It seemed a little twee, or shrill?

Voting for the “corporate governance pool”
We should vote for a pool of 100 “normal kiwis” ie, normal guys and girls, and once they are voted for, they are placed into the board of directors in every single board in government in New Zealand (all of the ministries and departments are ruled over by corporate boards), and also every top 30 company board.
How do you pick them? This is how:
1000 people are randomly selected from voters rollsAnyone who wants to recuse themselves does soAnother 500 are randomly selected, and then anyone who wants to recuse themselves can do so.
Until you have 1000 willing to do it. And then voters can pick the best 100 of them, based on who gives the best speech and has the best CV.
There is a 400000 cash prize for being selected to the pool. And plus 100k per year for actually working as a part of the board.
Once you’re in the pool, you just get dropped into the board seat. Or something.
Or maybe you only need about 20 of them, because you can be on multiple boards.
It still needs work?! But it’s a way to exploit the gaps inherent in the corporate governance model.
It’s called “pleb politics”, and you do it mostly through direct democracy. You devolve powers to yourselves. Promulgate new corporate charters into organisational bureaucratic regulations via direct democracy. Or something.

32 containers. 24 in the middle, and some outriggers. Park 4 tiny homes around the outsides. Maybe it works. It’s just an idea. I’d try one of the proof of concepts first. Like just putting a cabin on top of the stack, just once. But whatever works, works. It’ll be an evolving, developing thing. This one above might be the expensive one, for wealthy people. But something like the plateau could be good for less wealthy people, or students. Just build the platform, and then students put up tents/shacks.
I think people would just have to start experimenting. It it were me, I’d just build something like the one just above (sorry it is messy, back hurts). And just put a tent on top. And some planks and boards to walk and sit on.

Idea:
Idk, maybe start a corporation that provides houses to those who need refuge and privacy. Privacy refugees. Because this whole thing, and the lack of privacy is soul destroying.
They build houses and dwellings, and then sell them in an affordable manner. But they also provide technological support and communications technology to those who need them. As well as web hosting. It is construction, and file hosting, and tech. Three areas. Where does revenue come from? People sponsor the construction of new homes. A home is a shelter, it provides refuge from the chaos outside of it. It shields you, and keeps your life private, away from prying eyes.
Give people a place called home. A place of refuge, to shield them from prying eyes. And then provide them with a way to communicate with one another. Help to rebuild and reinvigorate conversation; it is a basic human necessity. Technology can help with that. Including file hosting (audio conversation content).
Uhhh. They can live there, and not be an activist.

Develop these new methods of construction as a decentralised collaborative skunksworks. Sooner or later you will find something that works very well. Try using the “Edisonian approach”, based on trial and error, and experimentation.

Sex on the Sabbath
A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or pleasure. So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this question.
After consulting the Bible, the priest says, "My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays".
The man thinks: "What does a priest know about sex"? So he goes to a Lutheran minister, who after all is a married man and experienced in this matter.
He queries the minister and receives the same reply: "Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath"!
Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out a Rabbi, a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge.
The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, "My son, sex is definitely pleasure".
The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work"?
The Rabbi softly speaks, "My son, if sex was work, my wife would have the maid do it".

Rabbi Jokes are great:
A man goes to see the Rabbi.
“Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.”
The Rabbi asked, “What's wrong?”
The man replied, “My wife is poisoning me.”
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, “How can that be?”
The man then pleads, “I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?”
The Rabbi then offers, “Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know.”
A week later, the Rabbi calls the man and says, “Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?”
The man said YES and the Rabbi replied, “Take the poison.”

Brain storming:
Ban non-monogamy
Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009
Inspired by anti terrorism funding laws.
Sometimes the best way to fight something is to de-fund it. And if you can defund one type of terrorism, why not defund another kind of terrorism?
Maybe ban non-monogamy.
The law is that only monogamy is legal.
How to prosecute: if you break up with someone, you have to wait two weeks to find someone new.
If you have sex with two people, sex of any kind, within two weeks of one another, then it’s a criminal offence, and you go to jail for 3-6 months. And the people who dobbed you in receive $5000 dob in fee. It defunds the fae-druj (aka, the philosopher-kings, the “foundation”, the “elves” or the “faeries”). Sex is their currency. Their means of control. Bad men use women as currency and bargaining chips. It is exploitative of women, and helps to retain power for bad men.
You have to have monogamous relationships. Preferably lasting more than 3-6 months at a time. It’s really simple.
It also scoops up things like affairs, mistresses, wife swaps. And all sorts of other things. It could be very effective. It defunds a lot of bad people, and destroys the “life-cycle” of the fae-druj. They just can’t do what they do in your country. It basically states that the criminal codes will be used to render the funding system of their political system non-viable. Or their pseudo-religious system non-viable. It renders their sociology non-viable.
[secondary idea: Maybe add a law stating that every time you have sex with someone new, you are required to make notes (date, name, location) in a notebook that you keep for seven years afterwards (just like tax records). And failure to keep notes is also a criminal offence, punishable by significant fines. This makes policing the first law easier. It is a policing issue.]
Also, make private prosecutions legal and an option. That is, a private person can function instead of the police prosecutors. Because sometimes police prosecutors are slack.
**
Direct democracy pleb politics
Get rid of defamation laws, and ban non-monogamy.
Make it legal for elected school boards to sack teachers at will, no severance pay. Personnel is policy after all.
Ban and black list anyone with a psychology major from working at the health ministry, or education ministry, or social development ministry. “Applied psychology” is their religion after all.
Change laws so that any three year degree (including polytechnic) is acceptable for being a school teacher. This expands the potential pool of people willing and able to be teachers. Teachers are not proper professionals. Remove barriers to entry, so as to increase competition for teachers, thus forcing the ideological weirdos out.
Remove the requirement for having a degree to become a civil servant, or teaching early childhood education.
Defund the publicly funded teachers colleges. Or at least defund the courses in early childhood education. There is no such thing as early childhood education. It’s pure ideology. Maybe greatly reduce scholarships for people who want to get qualifications in “education”. People do a year long diploma in how to teach. It ought to be an intensive 10 week course. As well as with a short term placement to get practical experience, of course. Also, ban people from becoming school teachers before the age of 27.

Pride.Greed.Lust.Envy.Gluttony.Wrath.Sloth.
Vanity (both male and female)Gourmandising (fetishising health foods is gourmandising. In many cases, it is also just anorexia, orthorexia or a different eating disorder with extra steps. Like all of that “healthy eating” ‘food porn’). The over complication of food and eating is a deliberate psyops campaign dating back a very long time.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Just a hypothetical? But do it in a non-silly way?
And combine it with ideas from the poet Zoroaster? About hatred of falsehood, and dislike and mistrust of those whose hearts are full of falsehood, and mistrust of and pity for those whose keen intellect (and capacity for clarity of thought) has been strangled by their love of falsehood. Seriously, you can just read the Gathas, or whatever.

Quote:
My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position [imposing “the good”] would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under of robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some points be satiated; but those who torment us for their own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. -cs Lewis
There is actually something in one of CS Lewis essays about space travel, and the kind of sociopaths that might oppress humanity until they could conquer space.. but I cannot find it. It might be in one of these:
The Oxford set of which he was one, he was a contemporary of Huxley, and the mirror counterpart (if that makes sense), desperately wanted to be in space. To control humanity.

This is a work in progress.
Just a quick explainer:
I've been sick since I was 18 years old (December 2006/January was 2007). And my whole life has been characterised by that. On an "emotional level", it felt to me like my whole life was sort of over in early 2007. Or since 2007. I got sick, and never recovered. I was sick from 2007-2016 [that is 18-28] (and an invalid as well as being sick from 2010-2016). And then totally crippled/disabled from 2016-2022 (age 28-34).
I had symptoms starting from dec/jan:2006/2007. They included "chronic fatigue", severe digestive issues, back problems that got worse and worse. Sleep disturbance. An inability to exercise (partly due to fatigue, but also due to the back problems).
And my whole like has been all about the health issues. I had tons of symptoms all the time. I was sick! And ever since the age of 18, I've been sick. An overseas trip with mum was the start of it. It took me down _hard_.
And it has felt like my life has been over since then. And my mother pretended I was just being silly, and my health was actually okay. And my father pretended that my health issues were all in my head. Ie, psychosomatic. And Amanda was the only one who believed that I had health issues. The label cfs sucks though. You just need to meet certain requirement in terms of symptoms. But they never discuss the underlying causes. Which in my cases were caused by constant attacks by electronic weapons.
Other symptoms included night sweats, and cold sweats in the day. Mind fog, mind blanks. Hot flashes, back pain. Inability to stretch, caused by long term iliopsoas and latisimua dorsi tightening etc. inability to control body temperature. Random manipulation of hunger mechanisms. Horrible damage, on purpose to digestive capacity (my dad decided at age nine to ruin by digestion).
I'll come back to this later:
Conclusion: my life felt like it has been over since the age of about 18, because I've been very sick for years. And that's also why I can't or couldn't do many of the things I wanted most to do. Ie, I couldn't engage in physical pursuits, or martial arts, or sports. And also I couldn't enjoy my favourite hobby of video gaming, and I even lost the ability to read, study, enjoy cards with my friends or play board games (not to self: explain that I used to try to play board games with friends after church, but that the back electronic attack used to make it horrible! They tightened my back/torso up (lats and iliopsoas) so badly that I couldn't even enjoy playing board games like settlers of Catan)

A brief digression on the word fuck:
I asked them at one point for advice about their culture, as though I was an anthropologist from another planet, crash landed here. As part of their education of me, they told me that in was required to use the word "fuck" when I wanted to describe what I wanted to do to them, or with them. As opposed to saying "sleep with". It was a requirement.

I tried basically everything I could to regain my health. I even did random stuff like chair yoga. Yes, at around the age of 25/26 I tried chair yoga! Like the thing that old people do. I also tried tai chi from a DVD. Please bear in mind that I was able to walk for about 45-60 minutes a day at the time. But I couldn’t do chair yoga. Seriously, I couldn’t do chair yoga. Not without it causing me issues. Also, I struggled with things like walking up and down normal inclines and declines outside, like just while walking suburbs. My body just didn’t always manage those things well?
I also struggled with washing my hair. Even before the thing that happened in 28. For example, I had to limit the time I spent scrubbing my hair. I’d end up feeling unwell. I had massive back problems. Scrubbing my hair would cause back issues. I sometimes could only manage 3-4 swipes of my hair. And a quickly 1-2 scrubs to rinse. And I didn’t understand why it was such an issue! It was shoulder mobility related to my core muscle issues, or something. I had to reduce my regular showers to once weekly. Sometimes less frequently. In fact, I reduced showers to once every three days as far back as about 23.
I was really unwell. Mostly due to “gravity”. That is, the eerie stuff that they did via my own muscles.
And I tried a lot of physio around the age of 20-24. Without any improvement. It’s a crazy situation.
I’m just trying to report on what things were like. However imperfectly. Very imperfectly. But yes, I did lame stuff like chair yoga to try to regain health.

Back of the envelope, as a illustration to the conversation were are having

Where does power truly reside?
"Consent of the clowns" is a memorable quote from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, meaning that even powerful figures (like a ringmaster) only rule or succeed with the implicit agreement and cooperation of those seemingly insignificant or chaotic (the clowns).
It highlights that true power often rests with the collective or the unexpected, and that even within a structure, the 'funny' people hold sway.
Origin: From Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, spoken by Moist von Lipwig, as noted by Chris Jones Writing.
Meaning: It's a metaphor for how the "little guy," the absurd, or the common person ultimately dictates the success or failure of powerful systems, notes.Context: In the book, it explains how the post office's success relied on the goodwill (or lack of obstruction) of everyday people and unlikely allies, not just the top brass.
***
Actual quote:
The famous Terry Pratchett quote about the consent of clowns comes from Making Money, spoken by Moist von Lipwig (and Maviolo Bent): "You think the ringmaster runs the circus, do you? Only by the consent of the clowns! Only by the consent of the clowns!".
It's a profound statement on power dynamics, suggesting that even those seemingly in charge (ringmasters) only hold sway with the quiet agreement or tolerance of the 'performers' (clowns) who could disrupt everything.
I really liked making money, going postal, the truth, soul music, the hogfather, their of time, and thud. They’re all a lot of fun. There are 41 ish in the series. They were kind of part of the background fabric of my life. But they’re just fun. Comedy, yeah, they have some schmaltzy moments (philosophy, values, morality). But it’s mostly about the comedy and the clever social commentary. He does good puns, and good references and call backs to western pop culture and high culture (I dunno, Dirty Harry in one book, Greek philosophers in the next, the Catholics church after that, Conan tropes and lotr tropes, that sort of thing). It’s parody/satire/reference humour! And puns! It’s reference humour and puns.

Sarah and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Uhhh. And these spoken are trying to “prove” that I don’t want anything. Well… my “lawyer” has the opinion that I don’t want anything in life, because I don’t “want” her. I.e. hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned…
I used to do a lot of historical counterfactuals about my life, including what if I had married someone else.
I had these day dreams at the age of 22/23. Or younger. Which means she has had 15+ years to stew over it. And therefore all of her decisions are probably unfair.
It is all about my private, ancient day dreams, and her reaction to them.
I’ll write this up better later.

The English Romantics, and Romanticism in General
I don't like the English romantics. And Wordsworth kind of sucks. So does Percy Bysshe Shelley. I think that people over value romantic love, and undervalue basic duty according to appropriate and pre-agreed values and standards. Duty is undervalued. As is honouring vows and promises (within reason). Also, I don’t like Jane Austen. She is a legitimately bad writer. Her writing is bad, and so are her ideas.
The romantic movement is not a “given”. Some people say “love is love”. Or ask, “what is love”. I say, I think romantic love is over valued.
I also would rather talk about attachment, fondness, sexual infatuation. And even then still say that it is over valued. Or maybe, call it “charity”. Or say, a better form of love (non-romantic) is to serve the interests of the other as though they were as valuable as you. Or something.
Maybe it is about kindness, compassion, and caring about the other person. You value them, and care for them, and do what you can to serve their interests. You defer to them. But maybe the cultural norms dictated by the traditions of “romantic love” are not your guiding light. Patience is also a good idea. Now… which of these values should be for friendship, which for male-female relations, and which for family… sometimes I’m not sure.
The "Romantics" pushed things like emotion, individual feeling, and love. As well as fetishising nature and putting it on a pedestal. Note: for those of you who don't know, there once was a time when nature was considered to be scary, wicked, nasty and horrible. Like, it was the "wilderness" and it was seen as nasty and dangerous (slight exaggeration). Full of bandits, wolves and many terrors. Nature hasn't always been an idol or on a pedestal in the west, England, Christendom or the Anglosphere.
I do think you should care about people in your life. Not that I have anyone to care about!!

Tobin tax for sexual relationships. lol.
Slow down the circulation of “currency”.
One relationship at a time, mandatory 7 day cool down after you break up. It’s just about slowing down circulation. If there’s seven days between relationships, it’s okay. It’s an economists solution. But socially, you just say you’re supposed to have only one partner, keep her for at least three months, if not years. When you break up, you are heartbroken and grieve (or whatever). You take some time to feel normal again, before hopping into something new. And when you hop into something new. You’re supposed to date for a while before you start sleeping together.
Maybe add a second rule of a three date minimum, as a second type of robin tax. Even if the three dates are just a cup of tea at your house or theirs (that’s an edge case, or argument from extremes) over the course of three days. The three dates should probably be something like coffee, lunch and then a walk on the waterfront. But whatever.
It’s a “Tobin tax”, not a morality law. And it de-funds the corporate hegemony (which itself is maintained by terrorism, torture, totalitarianism, and the granting of a monopoly to universities for the creation and maintenance of both our intellectual landscape and “fabric of reality”).

The steps: write up a proposed law, get at least 5 percent of the population to sign the petition, hand the petition to parliament, they count the petition signatures, it gets handed to the high court, to check it for clarity, and then they hand it to the electoral commission to be out to a mail out referendum. The mail referendum is sent out to the people. And people are expected to do the reading online, and say “yes” or “no” to the mail ballot. The results are counted by the electoral commission. If they get 60% yes, then it has handed to the governor general. Who sings it into law. And then we the governed, can legislate from the sidelines.
That is what I mean by “plebian politics”.
Here are a few examples:
Reverse the anti-smacking legislation
Loosen up defamation laws (they mostly protect bad people) by creating a new type of publication (paper or electronic) who doesn’t have to adhere to defamation rules. You can say anything, including making reviews websites for bad character rules. You can say anything you want without fear of being sued.
Three date minimum before you can sleep with someone
Ban the custom of having multiple partners (somehow)
Allow school boards to have the right to make no fault, at will dismissals of teachers
Allow normal member of the public to be elected to school boards
Ban co-ed schools
Nationalise cell towers by eminent domain
Ban the sale of spectrum to any private company who has satellites in the
nationalise one nz, spark and 2 degrees
Nationalise forty south and connexa
Ban TikTok, and YouTube shorts
Ban the further construction of new open plan classrooms
Ban unpopular health class curriculums
Mandate the use of a specific privately designed health class curriculum
Allow state funding for private Islamic schools in nz (iirc, they weren’t funded)
Tax Coca Cola and soft drink at the point of sale
Ban the use of excise taxes on “manufactured cigarettes”. Total ban.
Ban “slim bare female legs on music videos when the women are wearing garments including but not limited to briefs, short shorts or skirts”, also ban bikinis and male abs on broadcast TV. And “unrealistically skinny dancing women in music videos”. We can’t easily ban unrealistic depictions of men and women in media in general. So just do a clumsy ban of 4 things. It will tear through and damage a lot of media. But that’s a feature, not a bug.
Ban the sub-leasing of spectrum by nz companies to overseas companies
Ban the electromagnetic spectrum abuse of citizens by government in the bill of rights
How do you get it? I dunno. Maybe someone starts the direct democratic party in NZ. And we use direct democracy as a check/balance against government overreach. And as an error correction mechanism.
We could also have used it to ban Kiwi troops or engineers in places like Afghanistan or Iraq. Hypothetically speaking. Or to legislate in favour of temporary refugees from wars, as opposed to the UN rules about them settling here for life.
How about doing reorganisations of corporate structures of government agencies. Our whole society is actually just government agencies run as though they are corporations, stacked full of bureaucrats who went to university. That, and big companies and businesses. It’s just uber corporate. Why not make every board seat in the TEC (tertiary education commission, where Amanda Ward works), NZQA, TVNZ and RNZ, an electable seat. And a newly spun out charities’ commission. We just VOTE on who we want to be in those “corporate governance” roles. From among members of the NZ general public. Maybe every two years we get a mail ballot and a booklet letting us know who wants to get elected to those boards, and what sort of ideas/ideologies they have. Like, what manifestos they have. Just another idea. Our whole society is standardised on corporations and university educated people. So that is a weak point, if you’re interested in weak points. Ps: the universities want something like a monopoly on creating and filtering out a certain type of “human capital”, and also on a certain type of thought/thinking. Why not just break the “monopoly”? If you’re interested, you might see the works of CS Lewis, GK Chesterton, and Huxley. They discussed a lot of these ideas indirectly, or dropped hints. But some of it requires a bit of context.
Read “the dark tower” by C.S. Lewis. [He was a fake Christian and a Judas goat, and that story was released after his death.] The dark tower wants a monopoly in thought, and the creation of thinkers, and who is allowed to hold certain roles in society. And they also want an _effective_ monopoly by means of dumbing everyone else down, other than the main uber-intellectuals. They want to dumb you down.
Stuff like that.
Edit: Also put 1-2 normal kiwis onto the board of RFNZ by mail ballot.
Edit 2: take a closer look at funding and supporting hydrogen power research. That might be a good way of breaking the hold of the petrochemical industry. As well as the abolition of patent law (oil refineries and related industries have a ton of IP and proprietary technology associated). Here is an article, I didn’t read it, but it’s important https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/21-03-2019/the-potential-for-green-hydrogen. The Helen Clark foundation (a think tank) wrote a paper on it.

Or maybe get the faraday shelter movement going, circles and courtyards? And then with shelter, create and international direct democratic movement going. But that’s just an ideal. Personally, I’d just really like shelter and/or privacy, so I can have a better life. Normal conversations, normal friendships. That sort of thing. Peace and quiet. Contentment?

Dumbing us down
Janet Turnbull, NZOM, dhb
Please note: these people (the nz set, or nz clique) wanted to smear me as having a psychiatric issue that caused my health issues. Like a “mood disorder” and they also wanted to try to mis-categorise it as being “de-conditioning”. Janet Turnbull was part of sanitising and laying about the situation. As part of the cover up.
Don’t forget, that they used “gravity” on my grandfather as well (for ages) and ended up crippling and killing him. Paul straight up murdered the guy. He ended up crippled first though. He also got crippled in a manner similar to me. His shoulders got pulled up and out to the sides (shoulders went up, and went wide). And his torso sagged down (his rib cage pulled towards the ground), and just torso slumped into his hips, and he couldn’t walk properly.And also suffered an anal prolapse. And severe eye pain in one of his eyes (the other one was a glass eye). I also have suffered excruciating and debilitating eye pain at points, of the same kind.
These people wanted to cover up the years of harm, and they wanted to cover up the criminal act of IVF fraud. And also the DIA broke the law to cover it up.

And Amanda also broke the law in getting the protection order and using the police to cover up her crimes.

Child Sex Offending
My father just got arrested for child molestation. He is currently in Rimutaka Prison. He was previously arrested 18 months ago, and has been out on bail since. He has been found in breach of his bail conditions twice, once for being around children at the local swimming pools and once for coaching a young girl in table tennis (he is not supposed to be in certain places, or coach young girls in table tennis). There is a bail hearing on the 13th of January. He will be in prison until then. The actual trial is in September.
The alleged offending occurred while he was alone with young girls (aged 8-12) who he was coaching in table tennis. The alleged offending happened over the course of the previous five years.
Multiple allegations and statements have been made.
He is/was a certified, registered ITTF coach (international table tennis federation). He focuses on coaching young girls.
It is thought that he could face many years in jail. My uncle David suggested that he could potentially do up to 10-20 years if convicted. Both of his sisters think that he is guilty. That is, he did it.

Unrelated to China:
Also, an obsession with “gourmet” food is a form of gluttony. As well as gluttony proper. And fussing over having traditional food is just pride and vanity.

More information
Here is some more information from me, that I want to let people know about. And probably need to tell the police about.
***
I also need to let people know that he groped a twelve year old girl at our form two school camp. It was the school camp for Taradale Intermediate, a fairly good state/public school in a nice area. It wasn’t the private Christian school. I was there, and saw it with my own eyes. There was a complaint made, but nothing came of it. It was hushed up. Kids at school afterwards referred to him as a pedophile. No one from the school administration asked me about it. I didn’t even know that a complaint had been made. I’d have told them that it happened, and that it happened, and was done on purpose.
I think that this sort of thing is indicative of bad character. Furthermore, there is a clear pattern of bad behaviour.
***
Also, there was the issue with Tomoe Takahashi.
At around about the same time, we had a young female Japanese student come to live with us. Her name was Tomoe Takahashi. She was 16 years old and came to New Zealand to do her sixth form year in high school here, and to improve her English and learn about our culture. For us, the sixth form year is the second to last year of high school. And it was her second to last year as well.
My father groomed her while she was with us.
He also took her to table tennis tournaments out of town, alone, without my mother present.
At the end of the school year, she returned home to Japan, to finish high school. After her final year in high school, she came back to New Zealand to study law at Victoria University. She also became Paul’s live-in-girlfriend. They were together for three years before he dumped her.
Looking back, I strongly suspect that they started sleeping together when she was still a high schooler. At the time, I was about 12/13 years old and totally unaware that there was anything between them at all. I only found out that there was anything between them partway through my fifth form year, shortly after I moved halfway across the country to live with my father.
A few years back, my mother told me a few things which led me to believe/feel that Tomoe and Paul had started sleeping together when she had first came to New Zealand. We had a conversation in 2023 in which she said that she had once caught Tomoe Takahashi sitting on his knee. And also that after Tomoe had gone on a Table Tennis tournament with her now ex husband, that “Tomoe wasn’t her daughter anymore”. That is, the relationship changed. Before the trip out of town to play table tennis at a tournament, Tomoe used to split her attention between both of my parents and she would play table tennis with Paul and do arts and crafts with my mother. Relations were warm and relaxed with both of them. After the tournament Tomoe was cold towards my mother, and kind of followed Paul around too much. Was too friendly, and too attached?
People on “wifi” tell me that he started sleeping with Tomoe when she was 17, and still an exchange student.
He was married, he claimed to be a good and moral person. Claimed to be a Christian, and had a Christian public image. Also, when he split with my mother he claimed that he did so because she “had affairs”. My mother played along with this lie.
This relationship with Tomoe Takahashi was highly unethical. He was in a position of power, and in a position of trust and authority. My father and mother were her caregivers (unsure if they were “designated caregivers” under any kind of laws in New Zealand). By the way, she could hardly speak English when she arrived, and was living in a foreign country without her parents.
Furthermore, a man who is willing to do this sort of thing is going to be willing to do other bad things.
He has poor character, and there are clear patterns of bad behaviour.
********
Another issue is that he attacked me on the 25th of April 2023. He tried to force the door, and did this as part of trying to cover up the IVF fraud. And made a false statement to the police about the assault. And also made false statements to mental health services (he filed a section 8b, to try to have me committed - a section 8b Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992)) about the assault and surrounding situation. He filed this section 8b after the arrest. Making false statements to police is a big deal.
He said at the time of the assault, “you need to start doing what your family want you to do, or you’ll end up in a mental institution”. He also tried to kick down the door, screaming “I hate you so much”. The door itself bent very significantly under the kick. The only thing keeping it secure was a sturdy bolt. A weaker lock might have given way. He also tore open the sliding window, it is large enough to leap through. Struck me on my bad left shoulder (it has had issues since I was about 26), and attempted to grab me as though he might pull me through the window, but failed. I then screamed for help, and he ran away (probably because Ruby was there also). He probably did this because of the IVF thing. I had started asking questions about “why does Lily not look like me”. FYI, Amanda and Brynn had been doctoring photos of Lily, and putting makeup on her.
Above is Paul, Vivian (his wife of 16 years), and their two daughters.
Below are Wendy, Paul, Carol (Nana), Monica and David
^This picture is of Tomoe Takahashi (in her 30s). She is four years older than me. She is a partner in Hogan Lovell, in Tokyo. The is a very highly respected law firm, and she is a successful patent lawyer.

I have included this information so that you can verify it for yourself. Her name is Tomoe Takahashi, and she went to Victoria University to study law. And she is now approximately 41. Strangely enough, her family used to live in Burma.
I liked Tomoe when she lived with us at age 16, and Matthew was extremely attached to her.

Galaxy quest is actually a fun movie.
Uhhhhh, I genuinely used to be really, really, really honest. Like absurd, nonsensical levels of honest. Like, I would not and could not make a false statement* and I wouldn’t lie by omission, and I would avoid deception, even if telling literal truths (you know what I mean). And I developed an internal philosophy and psychology about trying to represent things in a fair and appropriate manner, that is both relevant and fairly reliable.
The concept of living a life of constant lies wouldn’t have occurred to me. Like weirdly honest. I don’t know if people can understand.
Galaxy quest is a good movie though. After the age of about 28/29 I quit Christianity, because I found out it was all lies. But all the same, I stayed fairly (extremely) honest.
**
I didn’t realise my wife was deliberately cruel when we were first married. I had no clue. She was mean on purpose. I thought we were having good faith conflict, and that she had mental problems (possibly stemming from her being molested as a child, which was a bogus claim by the way which she made at age 15).
I was morally very uncomplicated. I was simpleminded in my believe in the golden rule, and things like not lying, stealing, coveting, murdering, committing adultery, and loving your neighbours yourself. I believed that I was to be loving, kind, patient, and always forgiving. I was deliberately simpleminded(?) in following the rules of Christianity. Just be good to people.
I was hyper committed to the concept of love your neighbour as yourself. And loved verses such as: 1 Corinthians 4-13. And Phillipines, Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I believed in not even thinking about bad things, that corrupt the soul. I was hyper Christian. I would list these traits, and live by them. And I am well aware that the fae (aka dregvant or philosopher kings) deal with people like this, and that they outnumber you, or at least used to. Even though you pretend to not be aware of people who are Christians or have morals.
Ummm. I actually even (mostly) avoided watching, or even looking at things like sexually suggestive or provocative music videos when I was a Christian. Because I believed in avoiding stuff that leads you astray, and I avoided fantasising about women, who I wasn’t married to. And wouldn’t spend time around women who were sub optimal to spend time with (if you know what I mean?? For example, I chose to exclude Ambika as a friend, because she would legitimately have been a temptation, and “a bad look”, even though in hindsight I could have done with a friend).
I was very honest, and very decent. And I believed in guarding my mind. I was not perfect. But that is the nature of “the Christian walk”. You aim for perfection, and always fail, but you aim for it and just ask forgiveness whenever you fail.
I sometimes thought of going into missions work when I was in high school, but only if I had relevant skills and experience. Stuff like world vision, international justice mission, or mercy ships.

Discharge without conviction
That’s why your society encourages you to be super skinny and weak in a way that is actually stupid. It’s so that the fat old weak men who run the world can feel big and tough and strong, instead of feeling a little bit threatened.
[Also (just as an aside) women’s peers deliver them psychologically pre broken by means of bullying in high school so that they’re ready to be used as common property sex workers. They also break them in by pimping them out to guys for more “sway”.]

Ballot initiative in California
********
If it were legal to rent wombs (for implanted IVF babies) or better yet, use artificial insemination and rented wombs, then it would improve society. Couples could wait until they were in their mid to late 30s/40s before they have children. Women could make money out of it in their early twenties by renting their womb. And then you don’t have to coerce men and women into silly games of dominance, sex and control to make men get married, and to force women to provide “maintenance sex” and extra fun to make marriage tolerable. But the way, the primary beneficiaries of this system are busybodies who enjoy messing with other people’s lives, nosy people who enjoy snooping no other people, middle aged women who want to feel like they’ve still got it, and mediocre stodgy old(ish) men who are ideologically in support of world “communism”. To legalise womb rental would liberate a lot of people from the coercive social control inherent in the system.
It solves the fertility problem without forcing marriage.It solves the “once you’re old enough to afford kids then you’re too old to easily conceive”It solves the problem of having money for young women. They can just make tons of money, and fast.It decouples marriage and children and custody.It could actually be massive, huge. And solve so many problems.
***
Ps: I am in favour of a democratic society where women retain the capacity for independent action, autonomy, the freedom to make their own decisions when it comes to things like where they will live, where and what they might study, what sort of career they might or might not pursue, who they want to marry (or if they want to marry), and who they want to divorce or break up with etc. How many children they want to have, if any.
Two caveats, there might be “economic incentives” for and against some things. And another point, breaking contracts can sometimes be expensive and have penalties. For example, tax breaks for marriage might still exist, or if you voluntarily enter into “marriage 2.0” and commit adultery, or leave without good cause, then there might be consequences. Or there could (potentially) be a three date rule as a “tobin tax”, or even a 7 date rule.
But the main thing is that I would prefer that they could still do things like get jobs, educations, choose their own husbands, own their own property, take out mortgages, drive cars, divorce drunken, violent wife beaters. And have a boyfriend without having to sign a lifelong death pact, and access basic healthcare, attend school, not be required to wear a burka.
********
The purpose of our society is to empower the most horrible middle aged women possible, who will then press gang younger (youngish) women into shagging smelly old men. And it’s also all about getting young women in high school to damage their peers very badly through bullying so that they are broken in for sex work early.
********
Universal Suffrage
Furthermore, never forget that they had universal suffrage in Cambodia from 1955, China from 1949, the USSR from 1933 onwards, and in 1918 Germany onwards (they held regular plebiscites in favour of the Nazis, with universal women’s suffer age; Hitler was very popular with the voting population, especially women). Next, Switzerland managed to get full suffrage… when? Only by 1971.
Other restrictions on voting:
But then again, I think that all Chinese who don’t disavow China, communism and stomp on a photo of Mao, Xi and the Chinese flag should be deported. Even if they’re a citizen. So what do I know. And we should have democratic votes to sack/veto communists who have jobs at universities, blacklisting them from academic employment.
When Chinese men, or women in general, or orientals, feel that their pride is wounded, then they “pack a massive sad”. And so you have to be careful with letting them vote. They call it “face”, or “hell no fury like that of a woman scorned”. They never quite got the memo on pride being one of the seven deadly sins lol.
In Japan they shout “konichiwa kamikaze harikari daisuki kitchigai suppuku” and kill themselves! And in China, they love suicide too, traditionally. See also elixir poisoning, and the ego/mind suicide of Buddhism. Seriously, they adore suicide in Japan. They love it. Love it so much traditionally. Love it. Just read up on suicide culture in Japan. They do poems, wear perfume, wax lyrical about flowers and the impermanence of all good things in life, and then their friend chops off their head. It’s insane.
And also look up my post in “archives one” about elixir suicide.

More idea for Tobin tax 2.0
Then place restrictions on men aged 50+ and 60+You can’t have sex with women under 25 if 50+ or 40 if 60+. Don’t forget, all relationships have to get approval after 7 dates. And this is a way to break, disrupt or otherwise disrupt the philosopher-king (aka fae, dregvant) way of life.
********
Male Genital Mutilation
The U.S. has a high rate of male circumcision (over 70% historically), much higher than most other Western countries. I relabel it “male genital mutilation”. We should ban male genital mutilation here in New Zealand.
And ban “medical tourism” for male genital mutilation for babies under the age of two years old, if you’re a New Zealand citizen. That is, if you take your infant overseas to have him mutilated (circumcised) and come back to New Zealand, then you’ll be prosecuted. Even if it happened overseas.
Also, ban medical tourism for parent of women under the age of 16 for FGM. And ban it for women themselves aged 16-21, if they’re a New Zealand citizen.

I’m just spitballing here, really. It’s nothing fancy, just a random off the cuff take:
The priesthood of the new empire of universities and corporations
The international system of universities makes up a priesthood of knowledge. But they want a monopoly on knowledge, understanding and advice.
They created this thing called the modern corporation. And you can't have a position of authority in a major corporation unless the international system of universities (the priesthood of knowledge vets you, certified and educates you. Approves of you). They have to approve you for becoming a member of this priesthood.
What else does this priesthood do? Well, they created the "intelligence agency model" where they use intelligence agencies to repress the people of individual nation states (see Hungary, Romania, Russia, MSS in China). Or the CIA represses your nation from afar. Or your own nation is melded into their security about (hi USA from nz). Basically, if you try to become an activist, the system takes you out. Somehow.
And then the academic/corporate/intelligence system puts satellites into the sky, which can prevent you from even thinking the "wrong things". Why? They want to cheat and retain a monopoly. This priesthood of learning, knowledge and wisdom, of understanding, they want to retain a monopoly on thinking in “smart and intelligent ways”. They hate competition. But I'm an economics geek. We hate monopolies (usually). Ahahahahahhaha.
So how about a bit of anti-monopolistic liberalisation!! Ahahahhwhqhwhhahaha /humour..
Is there any place in our society for the likes of Mendel and Faraday? And without them, and men like them, how are we supposed to solve problems as a species? Literally, where would they go? How would they live?
Perhaps we just need a bit of peace and quiet, so that we can start engaging in the improvement of the mind. Perhaps starting with books like...
"The Improvement of the Mind" by Isaac Watts, which was a massive game changer for the great Michael Faraday himself. One of the best physicists the world has ever seen. And maybe we might read the Gathas by Zarathustra, and the books of Ecclesiastes and Proverbs by Solomon, once thought of as the wisest man in the near east. And then we might read some of the works of St Paul and Yeshua (aka, Jesus of Nazareth, also known as the messiah, also known as Christ, about whom the cult of the Nazarene cropped up), so that we might learn how these subversives and his friends created a movement that then undermined and eventually took down the Roman Empire. And maybe read Marcus Aurelius, meditations. And Epictetus.
We might also read (the blurb for) The Empire of Ideas by William C. Kirby, a professor, historian and Sinologist at Harvard University.

They're dumbing us down. Just like Xi's Dad did prior to the Great Leap Forward and associated death toll.
By the way, the international intellectual patent cartels and copyright cartels and oil cartels are a massive problem. Especially for small to medium sized countries. It would be a pity if we abolished patents, copy rights, and then also considered the possibility of alternative sources of energy (such as manufacturing hydrogen energy using our tremendous supplies of geothermal and hydroelectric energy). Energy is often not about quantity of energy, but more to do with _where_ that energy is and how heavy it is.
***
Exercise, movement, and the development of the body
Perhaps along with, and in second place to, to improvement of the mind. There might be a bit of development of the body, and a bit of improvement in coordination, and the ability to move the body. To improve one's capacity for physical movement might be a very worth while activity, along with the improvement of the mind, and the reclamation of basic conversation and restoration of normal (unmediated) human relationships/interactions.
But at the same time, a kind of bare minimum approach to exercise, health and fitness is okay too (please see elsewhere on my blog for some examples of what I mean).
***
This is (of course) downstream of the creation of places of refuge. Places where you can chill. Have a bit of peace and quiet. Places where you can be safe from the "mind rot". Or the mind blank attack. Without places of refuge, peace and quiet, and a bit of rest, relaxation and recreation, how can you hope to engage in the improvement of the mind?

Romantic Literature in English
Book burnings of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Byron, Shelley, and Keats! As well as Jane Austen. Kinda joking, kinda not. Ban the English romantics! The romantic movement was a scam.
**
The Romantics stressed the importance of the individual, which is why they celebrated subjectivity over reason and rebellion over tradition. They put nature on a pedestal. Fetishising things like trees, sunsets and wilderness. The focussed on emotional sensitivity and sensibility, and the subjective feminine emotional experience. They worried about heights and depth of emotion. And emphasised the importance of the emotional life. They wanted to break the stigmas and customs that controlled people via culture.
Learn about the romantic movement! It sucks. It is genuinely bad.

There is a full length game (only against bots) on that list, if you want to micro analyse the gameplay.
It’s actually really hard to find good gameplay videos, because the game is long gone, and the demos all have a lot of latency built in. And the graphics aren’t very sharp when you rebuild something from “demos”.
Here is a “boring example” of a game played start to finish as a member of the marine team. It is just against CPU players, and the player is “nothing special”, and kind of a newbie and/or inexperienced. Please treat it as a demonstration of the gameplay mechanics and of the “feel of the game”, not an example of how hectic or challenging it is. It’s a perfectly serviceable example of playing a game of natural selection. The player in question loses, and I think perhaps on purpose.

Psychological Profiling
To the CCP agents profiling me (and cia)
If you want to profile me, don't read about or play video games or whatever: instead you might want to do business school for 2-4 years and read 200 business books, and books in business adjacent subjects like economics, and listen to 1000 hours of technology podcasts like TwiT, TwiG, Windows Weekly, Security Now; or 5x5, Dan Benjamin, Merlin Mann (back to work). Or maybe just develop a massive love of books, reading and technology. Or of education itself. My life and health were horrible, so I was reduced to listening to podcasts all day!
I went to business school, I read a ton of books, and I listened to podcasts.
Don't look at things like video games, or sports. Some people have got the wrong idea on that note, focussing on sports and video games. You'll not learn much from those. Maybe just a little bit. Religion is another area worth looking at, if you want to profile me. Reading the Bible once, and maybe attending a Baptist church service at least once or twice would help. Btw, (total tangent here) my lecturer for financial statement analysis was formerly the head of private capital for AMP in NZ (Martin Turner). Oh, and I used to be a massive Christian and also loved Ayn Rand (including her non fiction) and free market economics. Including both Friedman and the Austrian school of economics and I also liked the Ludwig von Mises institute. I even read “Human Action” by Ludwig von Mises twice. That’s a beast of a book.
Begin update.
Martin Turner: Established and led AMP's private equity business in NZ. Invested over NZ$200m in over 20 private equity and venture capital investments. Head of Private Capital for AMP in NZ. Google him. Or look him up on LinkedIn. Linked in link. Link. I learned a metric fuckton from him and his class about pedagogy and how to learn, as well as how to use your personal, individual capacity for “judgement”. He introduced me to the worlds and works of Graham and Dodd, and from that I learned about Buffett. He introduced me to fundamental analysis. His chief tutor lent me books about LBOs, LTCM and Keynes. I learned a lot from his course, ACCY306 (I took a third year course while still in my second year). I learned a lot about “critical thinking” from his course. Martin Turner’s course. I also worked for him briefly, preparing spreadsheets of companies’ financial statements for educational purposes. It was data entry but you had to be able to read a financial statement.
I say this just to lend a little bit of credibility to my academic, intellectual and educational background.

I hate makeup
I think that make up looks dumb and I don’t like the chemical smell, or the texture or taste.
That is, if I kiss someone with lipstick or lip gloss on their lips, it is gross. If I kiss someone with foundation on their cheek, it’s gross. If I touch their face with my hand, and there’s makeup on it, it’s gross. If I hug them, and I can smell the make up it is gross. I hate it. Just like I hate a lot of perfumes. Or whatever. And it looks silly. Women look better without make up. Make up is something silly that the culture encourages women to do, or maybe women choose to do it for themselves. Honestly, I don’t know and I don’t care. I don’t know who is responsible or to blame for make up. But I think it looks dumb. But I still think that women should have the right to wear it. It’s okay, it’s their prerogative. I don’t like it though.
**
We actually don’t love make up in New Zealand as much as people in other countries. But maybe that’s changing a bit. I’m a little out of touch. Some people wear it, some people don’t.
I think make up is silly American nonsense and I don’t like it. Even a tiny bit of either lipstick or foundation. It’s just horrible American nonsense and rubbish.

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny.

Blurry photo, I wasn’t well at the time (satellite sickness, or cell tower fever 🤒). At my father’s house, playing at the computer. We had a LAN. I think Andrew and Ben were there. As were Matthew, Jesse, Aaron, Philip, Byron, maybe Nathan. We played Warcraft and Half life. No natural selection, my friends won’t play it with me 😅. This was in late 2007, or early 2008. Somewhere in the vicinity of Christmas. My computer died, motherboard fried or something. I left my computer there for about two months. My mousepad died in the sun. Excuse the potato quality screen, but the price was right. Besides, I had a love of CRT screens and refused to use LCD screens. The latency isn’t good on the LCD.

Key Aspects of Simulacra
Copy Without an Original: A representation that mimics something that never existed or whose origin has been forgotten.
Stages of Simulacra (Baudrillard):
Faithful Copy: Directly reflects a deep reality (e.g., a realistic portrait).
Distorting Copy: Masks or perverts reality (e.g., an idealized portrait).
Pretends to be Real: Masks the absence of reality (e.g., theme parks like Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A.).
Pure Simulacrum: Loses all connection to reality, becoming its own autonomous reality (e.g., a hyper-stylized advertisement).
Hyperreality: A state where simulations become more appealing or dominant than reality, creating a world of signs without referents.
Examples:Theme Parks: Disneyland creates an idealized, fictional America that feels more "real" than actual places.
Social Media: Influencers' curated lives, using filters and editing, present a constructed image rather than an authentic self.
Money: Becomes a mere symbol, valuable only through collective belief, detached from any tangible assets.
I'm adding a point of view:
Celebrities' appearances (both female and male) can sometimes be simulacra. And also music videos. Take a look at Japan, South Korea, or sometimes America.
Especially Japan and South Korea.

If you value your intellect
If you have a mind, and you value your intellect. If you want to be able to think, reason, judge and consider things yourself. If you don’t want your mind to be damaged, and you don’t want to have it harassed and interfered with by these satellites and cell towers and other electromagnetic technologies, perhaps you can shelter an entire neighbourhood with this technology. And if hiding your whole neighbourhood using faraday containers, or similar, to protect and preserve your mind isn’t a good enough reason to do it, then I don’t know what is.
Besides, empires rise and empires fall, regimes come and go, technologies morph change, and evolve over time, and nations and states and their leadership are always in flux. Models of how societies are arranged and governed (corporations, academic institutions, politicians, bureaucrats, militaries, wealth) are aren’t set in stone, and change fairly often. So why shouldn't we, the people of nations other than America, China and Russia shelter ourselves and our minds?

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique landWho said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneStand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,Tell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:And on the pedestal these words appear:"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"No thing beside remains. Round the decayOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bareThe lone and level sands stretch far away.— Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819

Women might be the best target market for this product
It's like atlas shrugged, but instead of all of the entrepreneurs and CEOs leaving "shrugging", it's all of the women trafficked into sex work who leave (that is, sluts/skanks and any women who don't want to be sex workers). For all I know, women might be the biggest user of and fan of faraday fortresses (aka faraday barns). And once they have a taste of hiding out (even just for a few days or weeks), they will turn against the system completely and just hide permanently. They might hate it more than anyone, and they have just had their hatred of it suppressed.
And if all of the "fun time naughty girls" are gone, the system won't have a way to pay off the dodgy guys. And all of these women who seek shelter will communicate via the internet, and create their own (online) subculture. And they will also find ways to support themselves financially. Possibly by starting businesses, working from home or seeking donations.
With a decent sized installation, you could turn it into a family home. Or just turn it into a flatting situation, with about 5 (people) women to a flat. That might be a great (affordable) way to do it. And that might be the perfect scale. Or a landlady and 4-5 boarders.
***
Activists
And also, it might be ideal for political activists within parties. Like if you have the “freedom and prosperity party” of a place like Bosnia, Montenegro, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Guatemala or Kenya. Then they might just decide that the top 100-200 activists their party have to live in one. Maybe not all of the politicians (most maybe), but the major activists and parliamentary researchers. And then they can all talk on Skype. And at least have proper conversations with one another. They all move into Faraday barns/fortresses, along with their families. And then also…. They arrange to telecommute into parliament, so that they never, ever have to leave the apartment or house.
Ahahaha, just spitballing. But then the women who sheltered themselves become an interest group: ie, those who are living in fortresses. Those who still own their own brains. And they start the “anti stupidity party”. And get 20% of the vote. Pushing through a 30 date Tobin tax by referendum. And you have to go on thirty dates, keep receipts or evidence as well as records of each date, and submit the evidence to the msd (ministry of social development) for approval. And once approved, you get the both of you added to the registers of legal sexual relationship, this record is made public, and you both get the green light to have sex. Thirty dates and a public register. This breaks the system completely. And it prevents our society from becoming and remaining a gerontocratic idiocracy. That is a society characterised by elderly people governing, and their dumbing everyone down for ease of governance, so as to protect their interest group known as swingers, wealth accumulators, nihilistic polluters, child sex traffickers etc. Because the only way the fae/dreg lifestyle works is if no one can talk or think. They need dunderheads. They dumb is down to make it easier to govern. No one is allowed to talk, and proper talking makes you smart, and there is bad access to information. But you need good information and smart people and smart conversations to be able to have good problem solving!! This whole segment was throw away bollocks. Just totally off the cuff, please treat it accordingly.

New idea for a law.
A petition that “men over the age of fifty five should not be allowed to sleep with women under the age of 50, excepting in cases of marriage, and that this be made into law”. It defunds the system; which is maintained by bribing wealthy powerful men into silence with young women. Break it. It breaks the "chivalric" code. Strike the root - slay the beast. Medieval chivalry isn’t what you think. It was a scam. And a way to increase the prestige of the wealthy and powerful, and let them gain access to the bodies of young (usually married) women, and avoid being smashed to pieces by the common-folk, they do this by pretending that the wealthy and powerful were more honourable than they actually are. Whereas old fashioned Christianity was a great way to guilt the wealthy and powerful to stop doing horrible things. Sorry, that wasn’t well written.
It's just brainstorming.
It’s criminology plus economics, with a bit of sociology.
**
The next idea is that voting be limited to people aged 21 to 65. This is because those over 65 are overly concerned with their "accumulated wealth" and the value of their pension funds. They have an incentive to push for inappropriate policies. They can't work!! And they're are the biggest welfare beneficiaries in the world (except for corporations). Take a look at their healthcare expenses as a proportion of the budget though, along with the universal superannuation pension scheme. It's complicated though.
Keep universal pension around though. And ask yourself, who is it in New Zealand who most needs to keep housing prices propped up, instead of deflating prices like Japan did. The young or the old?

Technology => a revolution based on technology, not a political revolution?
By the way, if enough people shelter themselves using faraday garages and other construction methods, it might end up that there is something kind of like the Gutenberg revolution (it was a technological revolution), not a political revolution. Basically, the full capacity of the internet for publishing and communication might be unlocked, just like the printing press created a world where the printed word became ubiquitous and mass literacy became the norm. Mass literacy took off in places like Sweden, England and the Netherlands as a result of books becoming cheaper. Those countries later became the most successful nations in the world.
Changes in technology can completely upend societies and transform the world, quite quickly (over the course of 3-5 years perhaps).
It’s just a thought.

Tentative attempt
In my teens (by about 15ish), my parents were not so much working class as a part of the class "poverty stricken heavily indebted small business owners". My mother did work in a factory though, sharpening tools. It was an _horrible_ factory job. (Her hands were bathed in solvents, which she said were basically petrol. The gloves did nothing. Just dissolved. She reckoned that the chemicals were carcinogenic.) And in retail (before she got the science job at crop and food). My father had a very unprofitable music shop, but was always working via trusts and mortgages to try to maximise his gains via property price increases.
Sooooo, we were the type that had businesses, but not much money at certain points! It's one of those things. There was always enough money for food and shelter though. Just not always enough heating, or sometimes not enough stuff like school uniforms or replacing broken glasses. Don’t over emphasis the money bit. It’s just that sometimes owning businesses isn’t really a step up. And also after the divorce, things weren’t as good for our family financially.
The above comments are pretty much okay, but not perfect.

Problem Solving
"Life is problems. Living is solving problems."
Although often associated with the thematic depth of Magician, this specific quote is cited from the third book in the Riftwar Saga, Silverthorn.
Another related quote about problem-solving from the Magician book itself is:
"Never accept the proposition that just because a solution satisfies a problem, that it must be the only solution".

As a child, my favourite book was “The Swiss Family Robinson”, followed closely by Robinson Crusoe. This was at about the age of eight or nine.

Try this for a different angle…
Prize fighting (bare-knuckle boxing) was widely banned across the United States during the mid-to-late 19th century, particularly in Northeastern states like New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, due to its brutality and associations with illegal gambling. Key bans included New York in 1859, and later, California (1872) and Texas (1895).
New York (1859): Specific legislation prohibited promoting or engaging in "ring or prize fights".
California (1850/1872): The 1850 state constitution prohibited fighting for reward, later strengthened by 1872, 1893, and 1899 statutes.
Texas (1895): Governor Culberson called a special session to ban boxing, forcing high-profile fights, such as the 1896 Maher-Fitzsimmons bout, onto remote locations like Rio Grande sandbars.Other Locations: By 1899, it was banned in most states, leading to matches on barges or in remote areas to evade police.
Despite these prohibitions, the sport continued, often disguised as "exhibitions" or held in secret, until it was legalized and regulated in the early 20th century, such as with the Frawley Act in New York (1911).
It was actually considered to be quite immoral and nasty in certain ways and in certain places.
By prize fighting, that meant boxing. Like actually as a whole. Boxing was considered to be a bad thing. I'm currently suspecting that the push to make people think about fighting sports, and to make the culture think about it is a scam. And then people get into it, which creates an arms race, and normal(ish) people need to do a bit to keep up. And then the problem I have been trying to solve in my head is how a normal person could invest in something that gives them just a "bit of something" to keep up with the arms race, without being it too absurd or onerous? Or causing too much wear and tear! Or that is one of the problems I have been trying to solve in my head. Probably people (adults over 20) could go to a karate club for a year or so, and just play soccer. Until they can move. And then get into judo, which can take a while to prepare the body for, and then a little while to get used to. Once they have some experience in Judo, can quit. And get better at punching, using a bag. And supplement it with jump rope. But boxing is it’s own whole other thing. It’s a little esoteric. But I don’t think that there is any “one way” to do it. I do think that kata should be abandoned after a little while though (1-2 years, maximum, maybe). That’s just a training tool. Kata is just a pedagogy. Like training wheels. But karate (shotokan) can teach you a lot for the first year or so, while keeping you safe from training incidents, and also it prepares and improves the body to be able to do judo. And don’t forget that all of this stuff is athletic, and most of it is sporty.

The Pedestrian and The Remains of the Day
https://youtu.be/63uSon_eOPE?si=FzKoNSGCx3MexBFS
The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. I often take the wrong lessons from it, such as he just likes walking for air. Just like I took the wrong lessons from “the remains of the day” by Kazuo Ishiguro, such as that it is nice to enjoy retirement and just chilling doing nothing. And to go for a road trip and enjoy nice walks! And drive and feel free! It sounds almost idyllic. (And also I didn’t think that missing out on that romance was a massive blow, and that basic friendship would be fine. His relationship with his father was a sad thing though, and the interplay between keeping up standards of service and competence and conduct, while also being there in a caring manner towards his father. But also his realisation that his father was a very limited individual, and the story he told of his father reprimanding a couple of silly drunken upper class twits didn’t really convey much meaning.)
But the whole going for a nice long road trip, in one’s own car, and walking to the top of a hill for a view, and staying in a couple of affordable boarding houses along the way, and meeting people along the way, and then enjoying the seaside and a pier and boardwalk, and eating for the lights to switch on. And saying, “this is the best part of life”, and thinking, yeah, you no longer have the responsibilities to employer, and the drama is over, and you can relax and feel that you have no place to go, and nothing to do. You can just take in the air c and enjoy watching the lights get switched on around the boardwalk. While the people cheer for them. Just simple pleasures! And freedom to arrange one’s own time. I quite clearly took the wrong message from the book, but such is life. I realised upon my second reading that it was about a man’s heart breaking as he realised that nothing remained. And then I immediately disagreed with the book’s conclusion. FWIW, I also took exception to never let me go (Matthew lent it to me). And nocturnes was meh. But I liked all three! I can’t explain it!
There is a tiny bit of irony/humour in the above statement. But not much.

Just some random ideas
Put it in the nz bill of rights:
Swinging is a hobby
Practising the hobby of swinging is a privilege not a right (this includes casual sex, polyamory, sex clubs and swinging itself).
More ideas;
The hobby of swinging is no better or more important than the hobby of baseball, basketball, world of Warcraft, sewing, Warhammer or boxingSwingers are no better or more important than world of Warcraft players, basket ball players in a social league, boxers, knitting clubs or brain dead pot smokers who listen to Bob Marley or Pink Floyd all day.
Swinging is to be a regulated, licensed hobby y
It cannot be practised without a license. But a license is easy to get. All licensed practitioners are listed online in a searchable database and/or listed on the online register hosted by the DIA.
If you are swinging (you have a long term monogamous relationship, but you and your partner are sleeping around at the same time, and have multiple partners) and are unlicensed, then it is a criminal offense and you can go to jail for 6-12 months.
If you engage in excessive casual sex (4+ sexual partners in two weeks) it is a criminal offense, unless you are a registered licensed swinger.
If you engage in polyamory without being a registered swinger, it is a criminal offense.
If you have a one night stand, that is you have sex with someone within 72 hours of meeting them, it is a criminal offense.
If you have a one night stand, that is you fail to have two or more dates over at least two days, before having sex, then it is a criminal offense.
You have to have a license as a swinger to visit a prostitute. This helps with disease control.
And you have to get blood tests 4 times per year.
If you are deemed to be mentally ill, you can be banned from becoming a swinger. Or kicked out of being a swinger.
People aged 50 and over aren't allowed to have sex with people under the age of 40. Unless they're married. Exceptions apply for registered swingers.
People aged 30+ who work in tertiary institutions aren't allowed to sleep with students at the place that they work. No exceptions apply for registered swingers. Students can sue the institution and the staff for breaking this rule, because it damages integrity. They can sue for staff sleeping with other students. Big money. Claim that it is about "damaging the integrity" of the organisation.
If you have a long term mistress or lover while married, three or more months, then this is a jail-able offence. Unless you have a swingers license.
If you have three or more concurrent relationships, that overlap for more than a month, then you go to jail.
Failing to disclose swinger status before sex is a criminal offence that carries with it a two year sentence.
Knowingly having sex with someone else if you have HPV or HSV without disclosing it is a criminal matter. And civil liability exists.
Bureaucrats can just ban or temporarily ban you from having an active swingers license. Drug or violence offences get you banned from swinging. As do dishonesty offences.
********
FWIW, I am in favour of indefinite preventative detention for some pedophiles, like actual (under the age of twelve) pedophiles. Such as, you have actually engaged in child molestation, you aren’t remorseful, you don’t see it as tremendously wrong, you’ve been convicted and sentenced. Maybe the initial sentence was short because the offending wasn’t massive, such as 2-3 years. But if the character issues are there, and the desires are there. Maybe they stay in jail for ten years. Or longer.
I usually agree with Marchese Beccaria Cesare Bonesana in that punishments should be swift, certain and proportionate. But think that beyond punishments you probably want to physically remove certain people from society long term, even if the “theory of proportionate punishment” doesn’t put them away for long enough, and that is where preventative detention comes in. And yes, I have read “On Crimes and Punishment” (1764) by Cesare Beccaria. He was one of the greatest thinkers of the Enlightenment.

Warren Buffett Quote
Look for three things in a person: intelligence, energy, and integrity. If they don't have the last one, don't even bother." — Warren Buffett
********
According to billionaire investor Warren Buffett, you should look for the following three qualities in a person: intelligence, energy, and integrity.
He emphasizes that while intelligence (cognitive ability) and energy (drive and work ethic) are valuable, they can become detrimental without the foundational quality of integrity. As Buffett famously stated, "If they don't have the last one, don't even bother with the first two".
The three traits are:
Intelligence: The capacity to learn, understand, and apply knowledge effectively to solve problems.
Energy: The drive, enthusiasm, and willingness to put in the effort and take initiative.
Integrity: Honesty, strong moral principles, and ethical conduct, even when no one is watching. This ensures that the other two qualities are used for constructive and ethical purposes.
Buffett notes that integrity is a personal choice, not an inherent trait that someone is born with or can learn in school.

These are just a few ideas:
Some are fun, some are dumb, some are smart.
Binding citizens referendum, initiated by petition (5% threshold), to throw all 120 member of parliament in jail for ten years. For what crime, I am not sure. For the crime of... it would violate the Magna Carta, and the principle of collective punishment. But we need a clear out for bad politicians, we needed one with neoliberalism. And we need one as a threat now. Unsure what crime. It could be for the crime of "being bad people (sorry about violating the Magna Carta [indefinite detention without charge or court appearance] or rule of law and the principles of criminal justice) and we just have to clear you out". Or maybe, the "crime of being excessively controlled by outside forces while also being too cowardly to speak up". Or “Dereliction of duty by parliament in the face of foreign interference” (cowardice). Or just the "ten year stop loss order" requiring sequestration of politicians, and don't even call it a punishment for crime. It's just ten years sequestration in a special facility and location without physical harm or degradation. Which is one of the reasons an all male parliament might be smarter, but that's a conversation for another day (hi Jacinda, "your treatment was state sanctioned" when it was a conversation on wifi about being crippled for 5 years, or as I call it medical experimentation in the form of body modification as a form of torture with the intent to cause me to used as breeding livestock by a gaggle of ersatz prostitutes resulting in being totally crippled for five years". Are women brave? Are women principled? Are women even half as compassionate as men? Do we have women in politics because they are cowards and easier to control, manipulate, sway, bully and intimidate?
********
Next, idea is that maybe we shelter the elderly people as aggressively as possible in faraday garages. Create garage apartments for the elderly, the truly decrepit elderly. They can still speak and think, but they're getting mauled out there. But they can't fight back or speak up! They're getting badly hurt, or so I have heard. They can become sheltered shut ins.
Next idea is that we give "fallen women" a way out, that is we provide a road map to safety and security so that they don't have to do it anymore. If they are required to do sex work for the system and/or engage in acts of cruelty to other people, and they need a way out, we shelter them in faraday garages. And they become sheltered shut ins.
Other demographics who might enjoy and benefit from this technology are Christians and Christian churches. They need places to meet for fellowship, worship and discussion. Ditto for a number of other religions, philosophies and cultural groups. Other groups that might enjoy it are the terminally online (hi gamers). And they can game to their hearts content while also creating community (web forums, irc channels, video sharing, and persistent gaming servers). They can also provide ICT support services.
Religious groups such as Christians, Muslims and Jews might be good at doing the first one on the list: sheltering the elderly. Also, a lot of Asians value their parents enough to shelter them in a faraday garage (it's basically a garage converted to a studio apartment). This technology only truly makes sense for people who aren't activists, and just want a safe haven of their own. Other people might be women who need a "room of their own" to be able to form, develop and create a "mind of their own", do their own thinking, reading and discussion. So that they can decide for themselves if they like being sexually workers in service of the system. And/or if they like being cruel to other people on behalf of big business, universities and other corporate entities. They could even create local women's spaces. Note: political activists, bureaucrats, military officers and politicians might use them too. But that's complicated. They're still vulnerable to many different attacks. But they ruin passive surveillance of the mind for those who are passive non/combatants.
TBH, looking back, I should probably have been classified as a non-combatant from the year 2007 to 2022 (I was really sick, my life sucked, and I wanted to move on with my life to do something like engineering, science or even just finishing my accounting degree, or even to just have ordinary good health and be able to have normal friendships, normal hobbies and engage in normal physical activities. But it is too late for that.

Ps: the Helen Clark foundation (a think tank) has some ideas about hydrogen production as an export industry that might be very good when it comes to the energy sector. It also involves Japan. Check it out, https://www.helenclark.foundation/research/the-role-of-innovation-in-getting-to-carbon-zero. I can’t vouch for everything on their website, as they can be quite PC and “system oriented” (they are cosy with the UN and the “university environment”, but are no friend to the oil industry, nor do they love American foreign policy). But they often have some good ideas and these sorts of people can sometimes be quite smart. It could reduce reliance on oil for places like New Zealand and Japan.

A fun quote:
"The point of getting rich is so you don't have to need other people, so you don't have to get along with others."
Charlie Munger
Freedom of Choice: Munger believed that wealth allows you to walk away from toxic work environments, uncomfortable situations, and people you do not like.
He also famously said, "I didn't intend to get rich. I wanted to get independent. I just overshot".

A brief note on technique:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVZpn7wjb7q/?igsh=MWh1ejdqaHdoNXpobg==
Just to avoid confusion, the correct “sound” to make, so as to avoid holding one’s breath while punching is “meow”. Not “sss” while letting the tip of the tongue rest behind the lower teeth (and while the middle part of the tongue probably widens out to the inner part of the mouth guard and/or upper rear teeth/molars, although sometimes just widens to fill the space between the rear teeth in general, YMMV). By making the sound “meow”, you can not only avoid holding your breath, but also “modulate” the level of tone and tension in your abdomen, although this takes a little time and tends to come with experience.

A lot of the theoretical ideas being bounced around are about disincentivising the “fae” way of life. Or about removing incentives and perks for being one. (And defunding adherents of those beliefs at the individual personal level). A good example would be banning teaching and administrative staff over the age of 30 at universities from having sex with students under the age of 30. And making it a 3 year prison sentence for doing so. The countries tax dollars shouldn’t be spent on turning universities into a recreational paradise for academics! And it gets rid of a fringe benefit (an incentive) for being a part of the fae way of life. Another good example is allowing the appropriately elected school boards sack any staff without cause or severance pay at the end (or just before the start) of the school year, to defund fae activists. A lot of teachers are getting pay checks, while being supporters of the philosopher king “way of being”. Deprive these people of their pay checks. That’s an example of economics incentives thinking.

Can you stay solvent longer than the market can stay irrational?
This saying applies to the current system of governance. I think it will fail, but how long will it take? It is like waiting for the tulip market in 1600s Netherlands to crash…
I am not sure I can stay “solvent” longer than the current situation can stay irrational. That is, I’m not sure if I can keep going long enough for the probably/possibly inevitable failure of the current mode of international governance and mode of civilisation.

Boxing
Ps: I learned how to do a left hook and left rip (body blow) from the NZ welterweight champion of 1985. That is, the winner of the NZ nationals in 1985 taught me how to do a left hook on the focus mitts, and a left rip. He said I had a good left hook. He also told me that he won his best fights with a left hook, and that his favourite punch was a left rip or left hook. I developed a pretty good jab (straight left) by learning some stuff from the internet, and rebuilt my sparring habits around the jab. I shouldn't have to say this, but I had a solid left hook, left rip and right uppercut. I actually worked quite hard to improve the quality and power of my punches. The accuracy was already good fairly early on. I preferred to rely on straights in sparring though. I don't know why, just preference I guess. When I started, my left hook was my favourite punch. But over time my jab (straight left) became my favourite. I would box "normal" or "standard", drawing out their counter punches, ready to parry them, so that I could throw more straights, and token them in, cause them to give me openings, and then when I had a good, hard blow lined up, like a hook or heavy right, I just give them a gentle tap and walk away. We didn't throw uppercuts at the club I went to, not really.
I also did a lot of shadow boxing, in which I would strategise, and work out useful tactics, "programming them in".
I sometimes wonder if it is wise to even talk about this?? But who knows.
Kind of like this:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVdnnfdAiEO/?igsh=MWVvdjVmaGxqZnl6Nw==
?? Turning my body into it. Tight hook. But I was about 56/57 kgs at the time.
For those who don't know, when you practise hitting bags and mitts, you end up developing quite a bit more power. It's actually a form of strength and resistance training, in which you build up power. Similar to lifting a dumbbell. It improves intuition in terms of power and force generation (sorry for the clunky language). And the bag gives you quite a bit of feed back. And fwiw, I find this kind of conversation to be quite awkward!!

Romantic movement, but also chivalry
https://www.instagram.com/p/DVYeNIpCKr4/?igsh=MWFwd2Q0ZmlvdzQzYw==
^This is awesome!
The Romantic movement (invented in the 19th century) is cancer.
The chivalric codes are also dodgy, and I don't trust the legends of King Arthur. Something about chivalry is screwed up.
The whole culture associated with the concept of love is screwed up. There is a lot of social engineering there. And a lot of history.
Stories like Ruth and Boaz might be better examples.
Women are valuable and often need people to care about them and to care for them. Often out of altruism. They aren’t consumer products, to be captured and used for entertainment. And fwiw, that season of life where they are most attractive is here one day and gone the next.
Some of this stuff might not be well understood.
Women are people, not prizes.
Nobility isn’t the same thing as aristocracy.
People of higher classes aren’t necessarily better, over or more worthwhile than other people.
Under chivalry, the higher classes put women on a pedestal and then treat them as prizes to be won. This encourages women to be more available to members of the higher classes. It’s kind of gross and scummy.
A lot of stuff to do with chivalry and or the romantic movement is rubbish. I don’t know what the alternative is, but I think it’s worth reading up on the matter. Perhaps a good alternative is caring about other people because they have intrinsic value, or because we treat them as though they do. And we treat them well, as we hope that they would treat us well if circumstances were reversed. That, as well as friendship in general. I am sorry that I have to be so vague.
I’m also kind of into the whole love your neighbour as yourself thing, but in a non committal way, because it can’t be done in this society.

Elisha Is Jeered
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.
2 kings 2:23-25
^funny. One of the funniest parts of the Bible. But actually funny. Umm. I have no other point that I'm making. There is no double meaning here. As far as actual stuff I like, I like Moses and Solomon, as well as a lot of the Jesus and Paul stuff. I like Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, and the story of leaving Egypt. A whole bunch of stories.

Empty blathering
The British Empire was afraid of these sorts of people, the protestors, not necessarily the organisers. And even more fearful of what moderates, liberals, Christians and other reformers might do with the energy that existed.
https://nzhistory.govt.nz/politics/1913-great-strike
Real change in the British empire and amongst the Anglo diaspora was most likely to come from within the empire. Churchill killed off a lot of our best, bravest, youngest and most energetic in the Gallipoli, along with a lot of Australians. That was was all about creating the "statistical society", but also heading off reformers from among and on behalf of the "lower orders". They also wanted to clear away the old order, defined by authority and hierarchy (and male headship). The statistical society: see the Napoleon of Notting Hill. It is a society based on statistics where academics from universities create the frameworks, blueprints and "matrices" or slots for people to go into. The “guiders” are “university types”. Anyway, after the war New Zealand ended up with cradle to grave socialism, and amazing prices for commodities, becoming the most prosperous country outside of America and Switzerland. Then they made the system go act retarded in the 70s via the unions and like activism and whatever, and over extend themselves under Muldoon (thx think big bullshit scam) in the mid seventies to mid eighties, and we went corporate in the 80s, stock market crash of 87 hit, and the economy economy got mutilated. On purpose. It was a hit job, not a reform. But that's history. NZ had the potential to be a safe haven, a self supporting (other than oil) safe haven. And a real threat to the established order. I dunno. Just off the cuff nonsense.
I used to read a lot of the standard.co.Nz and bowalley road, and also Te Ara and Nzhistory.Govt.Nz when I wanted to know more about Nz history as described by the grey beards at those two sites. But I reckon that the Napoleon of Notting Hill is a great book to read, and clever too (it is a set and forget it society, governed by statistics. Only a minority will understand it. Glhf. It’s fun either way!)

"Do not correct a fool, or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you" is a famous proverb (often attributed to Bruce Lee and derived from Proverbs 9:8 in the Bible). It advises against wasting effort trying to instruct someone who despises wisdom, as they view criticism as an attack.
I reckon you can actually just tell them that they are dumb and why. They actually hate you and physically attack you. But it actually is an option. It means that they have a chance to hear the words "you are wrong and dumb" and "this is why you are wrong and dumb and this is how you became dumb" and they also hear "this is a roadmap towards becoming smart and wise, instead of being retarded".
Because other people might just choose not to be dumb. Or at least stop supporting stupidity.

What if all of the people who say that they want to just “just slip into the woods” and avoid all of the problems and drama of the modern world could just do it. And they put five faraday cabins in a circle, out in a lifestyle block just outside of a normal town, with some trees out back, and enough trees out the front of them to shield them from sight, and actually live hidden from the system. To get the land, they just rent the front paddock of a hobby farmer on a “lifestyle block”. There are not far from town, and telecommute into work, or live off of savings. It’s a lifestyle, and it is socially, financially and environmentally sustainable. They can still go for a drive to pick up stuff form the shops, and see friends, and have a life. But they are 99% still spending their time sheltered from the electro magnetic stuff.

Sample ideas for reverse social engineering: this is just a brainstorming session
Nz:
1
No person with a psychology major, psychology degree, or psychiatry specialisation is to be hired by the government either as a direct hire, an employee, or as a contractor. No one with a psychology or psychiatry background is to be hired. And any company that hires psych majors isn't allowed to be used for general business consulting by the government. This includes prisons, hospitals, schools, and universities. Be as strict with it as investment in things like cluster munitions. This includes business consultancy firms, investment banks and the big four accounting firms. This means that they have to sack people with psychology majors.
2
Repeal defamation laws - extremely important!
3
Repeal patent laws
4
Repeal copyright laws
5
Allow no fault dismissals of teachers by school boards without requiring compulsory severance pay (severance only as a courtesy)
6
Allow non parent locals within the school's zone to be elected to the school board, to prevent intimidation and bullying. This one is huge. It comes courtesy of nz’s political blogs comments sections.
7
Allow for curriculum choice by school board. They veto curriculum or dictate it.
8
Civil liability for passing on herpes and HPV. Something like 5 million dollars maximum.
Civil liability for having sex with someone if you have herpes and HPV and they don't, without notifying them and getting a signed release slip/waiver. Up to one million dollars without notification.
And it becomes a public health notifiable disease. Ie, you have to get tested and let the central health authorities know. And your name goes on the central public health register. And in a public-ally searchable database. This solves the information asymmetry problem.
Ps: HPV can make you ugly. You get ugly flat warts, have to have them burned off, or something, and you have crappy skin. And you need skin treatments. Like laser treatments to deal with the blemishes. HPV causes warts on your face, then you get mini warts, then get them burned off. And then you need to get laser treatment for the blemishes. And then you need makeup for ever because your skin tone and texture sucks. I think. Or something like that.
9
These ideas allow for “civil lawfare” and also fighting on the level of personnel. Because “personal is policy”.
10
Hyper regulation of our 7 or so universities. But regulate them at the level personnel choice, choice of curriculum, availability of papers. And do it with a special elected board of representatives. One for every electorate in New Zealand. Use FPP. They have the right to fire any academic. And to cancel any paper. And to cancel any department. And to influence curriculum by threatening to sack university staff. And nationalise the universities first. Nationalise without compensation or apology. They have been hyper funded by the state for years. And receive sweetheart deals on loans to student too.
11
It is illegal for an adult over the age of 40 to have sex with more than four women in any given calendar year.
It is classed as excessive and inappropriate casual sex, and a menace to public health.
12
If an adult registers as an officially registers and licensed swinger, then the "casual sex law" doesn't apply. He is then in a public database though. Swinging is officially a “hobby” and a privilege. And the right to apply to be allowed to have the privilege to practise your hobby is enshrined in the bill of rights.
13
It is illegal for a married person to have sex with anyone other than their spouse without a current and up to date swinging license. It is a dishonest offence that carries a 3 year jail sentence, minimum.
14
A licensed swinger has to declare their swinging status to other people prior to sleeping with them. Failure to declare their swinging license status can result in a jail sentence of up to two years. Reckless endangerment under the public health act of 2026. Disease spread, Petri dish.
15
It is illegal for a person over the age of 30 to have more than 20 sexual partners in any given calendar year. This is waived for registered swingers.
16
It is illegal for an adult over the age of 23 to have 5 or more sexual partners in any 30 day period. This is waived for registered swingers.
17
It would be nice if normal people didn't have to cope with the "high disease" and high drama environment. One sexual encounter can give you more disease and cause more harm than a punch in the head or running head first into a brick wall. Also, getting professional or medical services from a "swinger" can be catastrophic!
18
One night stand laws
To have sex with a person without first having 2 dates over at least two days is illegal. Food and drink must be consumed at each date.
To have sex with a person within 72 hours of meeting them is illegal. This is cut down to 24 hours if you met them online or through mail. You still have to have two dates or equivalent!
19
Licensed swingers are required to get tested for a variety for sexually transmitted infections. The following diseases must be reported to the government: HIV, Syphilis, HPV, HSV, TB. And will be listed alongside your name if you as a swinger.
20
To have sex in a reckless manner if you have HIV/AIDS is considered a mental health issue, and will be dealt with by an 8b, and forced treatment and confinement in an institution. There is due process, but it isn't pleasant. There will be separate facilities for this population.
21
If you are over the age of 23, and have multiple concurrent relationships (three or more people concurrently, in relationships lasting more than 4-5 weeks - to be determined by the courts), you can be convicted of polyamory. Which is illegal. This is waived for people with a swingers licence.
22
Stymie American culture on TV. No music videos showing a midriff or “abs” (male or female) are to be shown. No bare legs are to be seen either. Women have to wear trousers. Swimsuits and bikinis aren’t allowed. It’s a stymie, not a moral statement.
23
Mutton dressed as lamb law
Makes over the age of 40 who want to wear a toupe or get their hair dyed just get a license (costing $200) from the DIA. If you have an income of more than $250000 then the annual cost of renewal is $20000. Yes, you have to show a license to get your hair dyed or to get an toupe. All hair dye and toupe licensees are to be listed online. There is a special designation for having a toupe. Like, it costs you an extra $40 to get that designation. You must have a picture without your toupe in your application to get the license. This will be in the database and publicly available.
24
Ban prize fighting in New Zealand
Ban professional boxing, kickboxing, bjj and mma. Keep combat sports around for amateurs (unpaid) and also for the olympics and stuff. Judo and wrestling can still have prizes (I don’t think there are big prizes for judo in nz).
25
Nationalise some of the fast food industry, and then undercut fast food with highly subsidised high quality cafeteria style food and sandwiches. Undercut the industry with government food. Damage the industry with great pain.
26
Heavily tax restaurants and fine dining. Every glass of wine over $14 receives the “rich people tax” of $20 if served with food. And every meal with mains over $60 incurs the rich people tax of $50 per main. Hurt the culture of fine dining badly. Also, make waiting tables full time work only, or make it a minimum wage of $30 and they have to have 40 paid hours weekly, even if they’re not working. This will hurt restaurants by increasing expenses. And ban food service robots, and self service fine dining. Hurt the industry any which way possible. This is about economics. Gourmandising is bad for culture. Hmm. The changing waiter pay might be impossible, maybe just hours. Maybe tax the industry for every casual worker hour they pay for waiting tables or working behind a bar ($5 an hour), but subsidise them for every full time waiter with a 40 hour a week contract they have paying over $30 per hour (subsidy of $5 per hour).
27
Ban cooking shows from TV and ban home renovation shows
They are bad for the culture.
28
Get a license to smoke cannabis.
And if you have it, you're allowed to go to a licensed pot cafe legally. But the pot cafe has to be on the second floor of a building in an area zoned for commercial or retail. It's an "out of sight, out of mind thing". And it gets it out of the house, and away from your kids or siblings. And off of the police's plate. And get's dealers and the police out of your life. It's a harm reduction thing. I don't advocate for drug use, and I think that cannabis in particular is a bad drug.
29
Create a society for tertiary educators, academics and tertiary administrators
They have to be a member, or can’t do these jobs. Members of the general public can de-register these people by means of a petition initiated referendum on that person as an individual. All referendums are done once per year as part of a mail out ballot. You need a petition of 20000 people to get people on the ballot. But once it is on the ballot, the people can de-register these people by a simple majority. De-registration lasts five years.
30
It becomes illegal for academics, administrators, lecturers and senior educators over the age of 30 to sleep with students at their educations institution. It is treated as an exploitation issue. It is 6 months jail (in reality, it is about killing off a fringe benefit that is enjoyed by a particular interest group/demographic).
31
Free market libertarian social credit system. Free market character reviews websites in a post defamation laws repeal world. Rate women as people and their character. Rate foreigners for honesty. Rate people for competence and integrity. Rate businessmen, tradesmen, and most importantly rate professionals like lawyers and doctors.
32
The stuff to stymie and corral swinger culture is about economics. It is all about neo-classical economics. People respond to incentives. Also, it is about solving information asymmetry. Ditto for some of the age related ideas. Old (er) men are bribed into silence, inaction and controlled by sex. Or otherwise motivated. That just an explanation. Only other thing, I don’t automatically have a big problem with women aged about 19ish getting together with men over the age of 40 or 50 (absent things like grooming, plying them with drugs, serious exploitation, serious exploitation of a position of authority [like if they were/are a caregiver, guardian or something], abuse of trust or something). Even 18 or so isn’t automatically a massive problem. Women are adults after all (over the age of 18). This assumes the absence of coercion, corruption, satellites and cell towers. But on the other hand, I don’t care that deeply about the “right” of people to enjoy their hobby of swinging or casual sex. Any more than other people care about things like the hobby of World of Warcraft, EverQuest or Eve online, or warhammer, or fun games like Morrowind, Halo 2 or StarCraft or BJJ. It’s just it doesn’t matter if people can’t do it.
33
Smarmy smarmerson's metro cut and colour tax. Males have to pay a flat rate of a $300 tax on top of the price of the cut and colour. It goes to the government, who then give it to a charity. Something like Doctors Without Borders in Iraq, which is suffering because the system is horrible (they practically invented civilisation there!). To fail to pay the tax is tax evasion. Purpose: it is social engineering to disincentivise a particular type of lifestyle. I call it the male mutton dressed as lamb lifestyle, and the pale male stale and still swinging lifestyle.
34
Over priced wine and a meal tax
If at a restaurant you charge more than $20 for a glass of wine, you have to charge a $50 surcharge, which goes to charity via the government. If you charge more than $80 for any bottle of wine, you have to charge a $100 surcharge, to go to charity.
35
Fancy shirt tax
Male shirts that cost more than $140 face a $150 demerit tax.
36
Male hair plugs are taxed at a rate of 200%, even if you get them done overseas.
37
Women are adults, not children. Perhaps should stop having a culture that is infantilising them. It means that we have a society full of "Women-children" and parentified males. Forget the manchild, we have the womanchils problem.
Maybe we should ban content that infantilises women in media coming from our state broadcaster. I think that that might be a bigger issue than "sexualising" women in media. Although that might be the wrong term to use these days.
**
Even women working in professions such as medicine and law are highly irresponsible. They don’t tend to be accountable or maintain high standards of conduct or integrity. They do whatever they feel like doing without caring about what effect they have on the lives of others people. Should we have a society of irresponsible women who lack accountability and act like children, or women who are responsible enough to be worth hiring as professionals. Nurses are also not enormously responsible or accountable (not professionals). Women politicians and bureaucrats are also sub-par, irresponsible and don’t do their jobs properly and are often not really expected to be accountable, competent or basically to function as responsible adults. People like our former prime minister. I’m not anti women, this is just the counterpoint. And if we don’t try to lift standards for women, a small minority of dishonest and incompetent and childish women will give the majority a bad name, pulling them backwards in history.
This is possibly the wrong tone^
38
Just create yelp for bad character and good character, once defamation laws are gone.
39
Give people refuge in a faraday safe house for a month. It would be like giving them an exorcism tbh. In some cases.
40
One of the best ways to combat the dregvant way of life is through the full legalisation of prostitution. This is called "using social engineering". And also, foreign born prostitutes should probably be banned. You have to be a naturally born citizen to be legally allowed to be a prostitute. Not even white immigrants from a place like Australia or England should be allowed. No migrant sex workers. And sex work CANNOT be used as an excuse for getting residency or a pathway to residency or an incentive for getting residency or citizenship. Otherwise people will use shortages in the sex work industry to get a migrant workers visa, residency or citizenship.
What sort of society can do this?
The unemployment benefit must exist as an option. As well as a student allowance for those who wish to study. Compulsory mass education and universal health care should exist.
That way, if the coerced sex dries up, crusty old men who are wealthy can just pay for it. Pale, male, stale, still trying to hold onto their youth. It's okay. It's a different way for the system to function. They are too proud to pay for sex, which is one of the biggest reasons we have the system of fae sex etc.
41
Regulate sexual behaviour of males over 45
Males who aren't registeredswingers, over 45.
You must date a woman for three weeks before you can start having sex. You are banned from sex with women below the age of 25. If the relationship lasts for more than two weeks, and you break up, you must wait one week before you start dating another woman. You must keep records.
Males who are registered swingers over 45. It is legal for you to have sex with women as young as 16. It is legal for you to have sex with prostitutes (legal in New Zealand. You don't have to date for multiple weeks. But you still need to have two dates where food/drink are consumed. Effect: these men who register are able to enjoy their hobby of casual sex, but are pushed out of governance roles, political office, bureaucratic roles and teaching roles.
Or… Maybe male swingers over the age of 45 can’t have women below the age of 30, unless they are prostitutes or a wife.
Or..:: Male non-swingers over the age of 45 can’t have women under the age of 30. Unless they are a wife, or the have dated for four weeks.
This stuff combined with getting rid of defamation laws makes it harder and harder to exist in the demographic “pale, male, stale, flabby, saggy and still swinging” while also holding positions of power and status in society. This is inspired by Zarathustra and Milton Friedman. Zoroastrianism and Neo Classical Economics. Also, bad actors are straight up pushed out of town. Zoroastrian praxis folded into neo classical economic theory, but without the religious practises themselves.
43
Break the link between politics and swinging. Swingers can swing, but they can’t necessarily get involved in the political life of your society. And if academics and faculty and administration can’t sleep with students, it breaks (partially) the link between academia and swinging. Maybe ban relationships amongst staff as well.
44
Without a swinging license...
You aren't allowed to...
Have multiple concurrent relationships.Do poly of any kind (poly amory, poly gamy, poly hunt)
Commit adultery, even with consent
Cheat on a defacto partner of over 3 months
Have one night stands (have to meet in person 72 hours before sex; and you have to have three dates prior to having sex in which food and/or drink is consumed.
You are not allowed to visit prostitutes.
You are allowed to start a monogamous relationship on your own terms. And you are allowed to end non-marriage monogamous relationships without massive or criminal penalties. Marriages ending can be really hard, so there is no easy way to manage all of that. Sometimes it can be easy though. Haha. It is complicated.
With a swinging license, you can do tons of stuff. It's easy. But you're publicly registered and your name is in the database.

Have faraday safe houses. So that people can stay safe. And can Deprogram themselves too. That is reverse social engineering.
Maybe some parallels can be drawn between the women’s refuge system and leaving a violent relationship. How many women would exit the system of involuntary sex work (aka prostitution after having been groomed and/or trafficked into it) if they had access to a safe house for a few months. Free of charge.
Also, elderly people desperately need safety. They just can’t integrate. They neeeeed safety. And perhaps some indigenous groups and colonised and “post colonised “ groups do as well. I’m thinking of Hawaiians, Phillipines, Maori/Polynesian, Mayans/Guatemalans, Haiti, Honduras, Cuba and a few others (Honduras and Cuba are a different category, but still relevant). See also the natives of areas such as the autonomous tribal pashtun regions of Pakistan. And also the formerly nomadic peoples of the steppe (such as the Kazakhs and Tatars).
Ps: Google Kazakh genocide and Tatar genocide. And then if you’re keen, study a years worth each of accounting, statistics and economics. This will keep you you to understand the way that economic policy is used to intentionally destroy societies and lives, and how economic policy and starvation are used as tools of subjugation. See also Ireland, Ukraine, Bangladesh and China. Economic policy, agricultural policy, food policy, land use policies, the choice of crops are all used to subjugate and harm people/s. Education isn’t optional if you want to develop a genuine and deep understanding of these issues. You can learn all about accounting, statistics and economics through high school and university. Apropos of nothing, you should also learn about science, technology and engineering. And the history of those three things too. You can learn about those three things in so many ways.
Deprogramming:
Give trafficked women and prostitutes safety for 90 days in a safe house. Give them a holiday. This is for sex workers who work as allies of China. And while they are in the safe house, blast them with anti China propaganda. Such as stuff about Sudan, Sanlu, the cultural revolution, Guangxi massacres, cannibalism, elixirs, pig toilets, history of Tatarstan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, the Great Chinese Famine and other genocides (deliberately orchestrated through the misuse of economic and agricultural policy). Talk about Tiananmen Square and Falun Gong and the ties between the two. And also bring in Patriotic Chinese freedom fighters who hate the mainland CCP system. It’ll program them, and fast. And also teach them about how horrible foot binding, Zazen and Chinese slavery were. Fwiw, the Chinese systems of slavery, economic deprivation, Malthusian population control and class based immiseration were much worse than the concubine thing. Which was bad enough. Seriously, understand the economics of their society. They reduced the clothing, shelter, firewood and food quality of their underclass as part of a deliberate policy of population control. I.e. keep them so cold, hungry and miserable that they don’t breed. Talk to them about the way that China is a bad ally, and will (almost) always let you down. Talk about the horrors of the belt and road initiative and the shoddy engineering the do and the debt trap they put nations into (see bad workmanship in infrastructure programs in the pacific and the debt associated. See also bad deals when it comes to fishing rights). Deprogram them. Deprive China of their ignorant, manipulated army of foolish sex workers.

Skill based electronic gaming as a requirement of entry into university
Gaming requirement to get UE. Without the qualification of UE, you can’t get into a NZ university.
Beat Quake 3: Arena campaign mode.Beat Unreal Tournament 2004: Campaign ModeBeat Half Life one: single player modePlay three generic deathmatch games in each game against other human players. You don’t have to win these games. Just play.
Beat the single player campaign in three empires in age of empires two.Beat the single player campaign in star craft in one of the three races.
You are now finished.
**
And add in a sport based requirement
You have to play a passable game of tennis before you can get into university. Just prove to a local certified tennis player that you can handle playing a passable game of tennis before you can get university entrance. Do it between the age of 13 and 18, ideally. Table tennis or squash are also acceptable. But the standard for table tennis has to be high, because it is a less vigorous game.
47
Of course you need to have petition initiated citizens referendums, and have them be binding.
5% of the population signs a petition for a new law. And then you get a referendum. And you then get the law into the law books at 51%. Although I would make it a 60% majority of returned votes.
That way you can legislate from the sidelines. It would be magnificent for a place like New Zealand. Just plain amazing.
We already have CIR’s. They just aren’t binding.

Deprogramming and decompressing while on a “holiday”
What if many women do a 90 day Deprogramming holiday inside the faraday home of a kindly older couple.
The older couple owns a faraday house, and the house is nice and comfortable. And they offer to let the woman stay with them for 90 days for a nominal sum. The woman is a “sex worker” and she had been “trafficked” or otherwise coerced into it. She feels exploited but can’t explain why or how. She needs time to think. Time to herself.
And they have 90 days to decompress and Deprogram. They write in a journal or a diary. They analyse every single sexual experience (both wanted and unwanted) that comes to mind. And every incident of bullying or incident of mental or cognitive harm. They play it all back, and process it. Don’t forget that for many young women, this might be their very first experience of genuine mental solitude. They replay and experience it all again. But they feel it in their body. And experience the feelings of exploitation. And dwell on it. Without observation by others.
And they also enjoy their first taste of mental solitude. Their first experience of genuine peace. For some people this will be a very strange experience. Perhaps they get addicted to it… they can also be alone with their friends, and enjoy private conversations. And write letters to themselves and do all sorts. They can think things over without having people harass them. It would be a life changing experience for many people.
49
Offer amnesty and asylum to “naughty women and evil men”
Give them the option of exiting the system to live in a faraday safe house, in a neighbourhood where the whole area has gone dark. They get shelter, but they can’t influence the system or cause trouble any more. And this starves the system and gives them a way out.
50
Next, the “she is a massive bitch and needs a time out” law
Men get a petition going, and get 5 percent of the mal population in a town, electorate or other political area to sign it. And then a mail ballot goes out to every woman voter in the electorate or district. And if 50% declare her to be a massive bitch in need of a time out, she has to cool her heels by living under house arrest in a small town elsewhere in NZ. She gets out into time out. Welfare is available if she is poor. She has to go to the other end of the country. Something like Gore, Balclutha, Cromwell, Woodville, Cheviot, Huntley, Paeroa, Reparoa.
You can only do one timeout every three years per woman.

Do a Moses:
Let my people go!
We want to be able to withdraw from society to clear our heads, talk amongst ourselves and figure out what comes next. Just a three day stint. But if they won’t let us??
But to do that they went into then desert, instead we can withdraw into faraday safe houses.
Who?
Involuntary sex workers, semi voluntary sex workers, trafficked persons, those required to produce children against their will.
Maybe a mass exodus into faraday safe houses and neighbourhoods. And especially a mass exodus into nations who are friendly to the hermit (and exodus) movement (e.g. France, Mexico, Africa [Kenya, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana] I don’t know who would support it!).
And if they won’t let us go….
We unleash a plague of psy ops campaigns, regime change operations, regulations, propaganda, media and any kind of non-violent democratic reformism and liberalisation and pro-privacy/solitude activism on every level. Until we can leave. It is just a lulzy idea. Still preliminary thinking.
I’m have made this segment a little bit “fuzzy” because it’s dangerous to talk about.
Ps: they violently coerced me and threatened me into saying that I would give Brynn four children, Grace two children, Siobhan one child. And suggested that I would have to impregnate many, many others. This was maybe 1-2 years ago. I forget exactly when. I didn’t want to give these women children!!! No child deserves such a horrible fate!!!
Maybe a bunch of places become safe havens for members of the hermit movement and there is a mass exodus. The hermits pay for their own faraday safe homes and their own living expenses, which supports the local economy. The expectation is that virtually all of them will leave after a while.
Key words:
Safe Havens
Hermit Movement
Mass Exodus
Faraday Safe House
User pays
Stimulate local economy

K1 Grand Prix should be banned as a tournament. No kickboxing where money can be won in NZ. Keep it for places like Vegas! I think that it is a moral ill. Kind of like gladiatorial combat. It makes people crueler to watch gladiator combat and blood sport (not always! But sometimes). To watch it at least.
I'm in favour of judo and wrestling. It should be normal for boys and young men to wrestle. Just for fun! No clubs or anything. And then clubs and formal training sometimes on top of that. But 80-90% Normal guys should wrestle a bit growing up! It doesn't have to be relegated to formal sporting competitions. I'm not sure how to explain it. Just like casual tackle sports should be normal for school kids at lunch time. Or climbing trees. I feel bad for kids who don't grow up playing tackle rugby and bullrush at lunch time, who don't climb trees obsessively or wrestle with other kids! And play fighting with other kids (I assume most children do this) and wrestling other kids in the swimming pools, so that you can toss them under the water (it is called dunking). Striking sports like boxing and kickboxing can be a bit much for some people! Or just in general. And prize fighting is excessive. A bit of karate is good for kids though, for discipline and a few useful skills. Wrestling is just so good for kids! It’s amazing for physical development, strength and coordination. Judo is very similar in terms of being beneficial, and maybe a little bit more accessible and achievable (it’s basically wrestling, but different).
Ps: how about further gaining skills like punching, and footwork to support it. That's a conversation for another day (bag work, jump rope and sit-ups/pushups). And is out of scope for the moment.
PPS: Norway made K1 illegal. And we should do that in New Zealand also!
Note: apropos of nothing, Judo is a really, really well designed sport. It’s amazing. And it’s great pedagogy too. I can’t explain it. It’s extremely educational. But the philosophy behind the sport is really clever. I think that the Japanese are very good at education/pedagogy. I think very highly of Judo. I just do. It is fantastic. (For example, because it has been sportified, it is much safer and easier to practice and compete in, therefore you can do more of it than other types of martial arts, therefore you get better at that sort of stuff. That is just one example.)
Tldr: ban k-1 kickboxing and striking sports for money. But kids should have normal rough and tumble activities growing up!
54
Mishmash of ideas
You should have to do a two day course and apply for a license to become a prostitute. Already legal in New Zealand.
Make the Tobin Tax for older males (45+) 5 dates. And for younger males three dates.
Tbh, older males should just be paying for sex in long term semi-concubinage contracts! And it should be all above board!! No more coercive arrangements for sex!
If there were a swingers license system, and also no cell towers or satellites, I think that older men might have to swallow their pride and just buy sex. The pride of older males is a massive issue for our society. It gets in the way.
55
New idea:
Permits and notifications: liaisons and new relationships
Maybe have a permits and notifications law for all relationships involving swingers who are male and over the age of 45. You have to contact the department of swingers, which is a part of the DIA. And ask for them to give you a permit to sleep with a woman (for whom you have already fulfilled Tobin tax requirements). They rubber stamp it within 3 days, ideally within the hour! Both the male and female have to request it, and it is rubber stamped. But then the relationship is published on the "permits and liaisons" feed online. And no man is above the law. Unpermitted relationships for males over the age of 45 as a swinger result in being de-registered as a swinger. There is no jail time, no fines. Just de-registration. And without registration, you're not allowed to be a swinger. Males receiving sex as a bribe.. it's like campaign donations. But it is for bureaucrats, regulators, educators, investigators, police, judges, lawyers, doctors, priests and pastors. As well as politicians. If you're not ashamed of sex, then surely it is okay to talk about it in public. Now the truth is that there is a shame element, but I still like the last cheeky comment.
56
Get rid of defamation laws
Yelp for character reviews
Black lists for bad character
Facial recognition at retail chains and franchises
Instant refusal of service upon entry to certain stores based on your bar being on a black list.
For example, the warehouse.
If you are on a black list and you walk into the warehouse, the camera reads your face, and it goes “ding”. Blacklisted, bad character, deny service and entry. And then you have to go. Why? You did bad stuff and were reviewed negatively on a website, admins put your name on a list.
Why did the warehouse implement the system? Two reasons: one, the union requested it. Two, the ordinary people, the customers, threatened to boycott the warehouse if they didn’t do it.
It disincentivises a particular way of life, the fae, dregvant, “philosopher king” lifestyle. By the way, evidence is not required to review someone’s character negatively.
Ps: the warehouse is a Kiwi institution. It’s kind of like a discount retailer, but they have a “money back guarantee”. They sell crap, but they have a great returns policies and the prices are good. They got into the Chinese import game early, and made up for the quality control issues with a money back guarantee. It’s good, it’s everywhere. Personally, I don’t like it. It’s better to buy quality. But they have lots of good children’s toys, cheap poxy sports equipment, really cheap clothes, shoes and stuff. And sometimes I guess it is better than nothing for people who aren’t wealthy (op shops probably already picked clean of everything good. Actually, now that I think about it, that is a clue. Op shops in New Zealand almost never have anything worth buying. There must be a lot of dirt poor people around. Their heads just above water, probably half surviving on welfare.)
57
Once you know who the swingers are, just push them out of positions of authority, and out of positions of high office. Like boards of directors and local and central governments. And things like the local government CEO and the CEO of Government ministries. Like the ministry of health, ministry of social development, ministry of justice, department of corrections, ministry of education, department of internal affairs.
Just like you push blacklisted people out of your shops and small businesses.
58
Once you have shelter, create “gamers for Zarathustra”. They play games, read the Gathas for fun, and adopt their approach. Which is to push the wicked, vile and malignant out of positions of power. And they change things at the grass roots level, like using supply side economics, behavioural economics, psychology etc. For example, they build safe houses to give women holidays for 6 weeks. And after six weeks, the women re enter the world and refuse to do sex work. It is a scalable idea. If the system bullies them into it, they seek “forever shelters”. Deny them access to their preferred resource (the systems preferred resource are docile, compliant women who put out for people subjugated by the system)!!
Offer them an all expenses paid holiday to stay in a comfortable faraday safe house to “reset their brain”. To deprogram themselves. Give them all of the books they can read, music they can listen to, movies they can watch, give them a projection screen and Netflix. Give them game consoles and big screen TVs, all of the DoorDash they can order daily and as many cakes, pastries and other as they can eat (or healthy options!). And a pet cat to pat, in some of them (or other suitably cute animals, such as a baby lamb in the garden). By the way, they should have a garden, also sheltered. They will never be the same again.
Especially for women.
59
Men over the age of 55 must have a swingers license to sleep with women aged 29 and under. Corral them.
Ps: Swingers actually means: swingers, polyamory enthusiasts, casual sex enthusiasts, voyeurs (aka perverts due to being peeping toms) and busybodies. Although busybodies isn’t a licensable thing.
60
Men need a swingers license license to see prostitutes.
61
Chemsex orgies get your polyamory license cancelled. That is, group sex while under the influence of illicit drugs. Or legal drugs like tranquillisers! Even if you can’t get convicted of it with normal criminal charges, you can still get deregistered.
62
Non criminal sexual misconduct can get you banned from swinging. It is decided by bureaucrats and a focus group/committee of other registered swingers. You can appeal to the wider body of hobbyist swingers to be reinstated.

We should have government subsidised supermarkets in NZ for basics. Here is an example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWl5TzTkl3z/?igsh=MTgzeGU4cnIyNm11Mw==
Use it to bankrupt the super market duopoly with hyper subsidised food and undermine the dodgy and nasty power of the supply chain. Then engage in a hostile takeover of the two supermarkets, buying them up cheap. After that, sell them to foreign owned supermarket chains. Suggest a gentleman’s agreement that all three supermarket chains (their private ones and your own government chain) will sell goods at fair prices (I.e. collusions and price fixing. Just create an exception in the law books). And keep the government supermarket chain around to keep them honest, but stop subsidising the Govt supermarket for as heavily. Maybe… subsidise the government chain and the private chains all a little bit. Food is just too expensive!
The supermarkets of New Zealand, and supply chain, are just bad people. Idk why. But they just are. Just for new zealand though.
It’s like kiwibank but for groceries. Like “kiwi-market”, the wholly owned government supermarket.

Create "Kiwi Tube". It is a p2p video sharing network. A cross between limewire and YouTube. Everyone has the database, but not everyone has all of the videos. And not everyone who has the videos is "seeding" the network.
Your Nonna/Grandma (or regional equivalent such as Babushka or Nana) sits on the deck of her faraday safe house, surrounded by garden, her laptop is sitting on the outdoor wooden table, beneath a sun umbrella. There’s a cable running from the side of her laptop (no wifi, sorry!). She has the Kiwi tube client app installed. She downloads the most recent episode of Desperate Housewives: the parody. It is an “underground” parody of desperate housewives, that lampoons the relationships of the rich and famous. She also downloads the newscast for the day, a few comedy songs and an educational animation explaining how the recent economic policies of the EU affect her, and how America’s trade war with Canada is progressing. She then downloads a lecture from a rogue Stanford professor explaining postmodernist theory to her. It’s “Deleuze for Dummies” or “Derrida for Dunces”She sips her plunger coffee (freshly ground), eats a few fresh green grapes (from her own vine), has a few squares of nice, dark chocolate, shells a few peanuts, and figures out what to order in the next week’s shop.

Being back the Cadetship program for the civil service
This is a very specific part of history (the Cadetship program).
The civil service becomes a job for life
All you need to get into it are:Good marks in seventh formSome character referencesThe ability to play a sport competentlyThe ability to play a musical instrument competentlyBoth of these have to be achieved at _any point_ in your lifeTo speak the English language well, and with an appropriate accent and/or to pass the oral interviewTo write well, both in a sample submitted, and in a test.Good reading comprehension
To pass the Cadetship program, and become a fully fledged member of the civil service, you must do a bunch of education and pass some tests.
This next bit is a little bit extreme, but it is here to make a point. You must also pass the video game component. This includes the single player campaigns for Quake Three: Arena, Halo 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Portal, Half-life 1, and to meet a certain level of ability in the game Counterstrike 2 against bots. And to play 5 hours of natural selection against other players online, in combat mode. And to play 5 hours of quake, unreal tournament 2004, counterstrike and had life death match.
You also need to finish command and conquer classic, both NOD and GDI, and Red Alert Two, including expansion. And finish Age of Empires Two in two empires. And then also beat 5 skirmishes in Age Of Empires, against CPUs. And play 3 games against other players.
And play 10 hours each of sim city 2000 and roller coaster tycoon and 10 hours of the sims (for culture - 200 millions sold, and it is very educational).
**
But seriously,
I would probably just say that you need to beat quake three arena in single player plus play a few hours against other players.
And finish age of empires two (in two nations). Plus play a few hours of it against other players, and a few hours of it against the CPU.
There is no requirement to pass university. Or to even go.
70
Put elderly into a financial conservatorship at the age of 75 (no more political donations, no more greed, no more lust [prostitutes], no more playing games with other people’s lives, no more hoarding assets). The already lost the vote at 65.
71
Women's work
Women's work is work! And they are bad at it!
Child care, caring work, house work.
Men are better than woman at house work. Women are just plain bad at housework and tend to be lazy, unsympathetic, uncaring and physically inept.
Subsidise male cleaners to clean houses, instead of housewives
**
Professionals are better at babysitting, as are husbands.
Subsidise basic babysitting to take care of children. You should be able to get a random girl from a high school to babysit for $5 an hour as a babysitter, but have it subsided by the government for like $5.
**
Nursing
Males are more sympathetic and compassionate than women. And are more willing to maintain high standards of morals and behaviour. Forget equal pay for equal work. It doesn't exist. Pay male nurses twice what women get.
Imagine how amazing an all male medical institution would be? Male doctors, nurses and orderlies, and administrators. No drama. They would run a tight ship!
**
Abolish housewives!
Fund women's work, just in a roundabout way!
Also, allow women to rent wombs, and make long term paid heterosexual exclusive concubinage normal.
And make contracts stating that babies are the sole property (responsibility) of either person X or Y normal. This is for every sexual relationship.
I don’t necessarily stand my this one and the next one. My mind it fried today.
72
Abolish motherhood as a concept. Why should mothers have a place of honour in our society? They are an economic drag on our society, and are difficult and annoying. And economically innefdicient. We should disincentivise motherhood. They should just work in factories or as administrative workers, or in offices. What is so special about mothers anyway? Women aren’t even all that good at parenting anyway! On average!
What if mothers “just ain’t shit”.
At least not automatically..
Pe: sometimes I am using irony and humour. Also, sometimes the humour is delivered dead pan, and sometimes in a cheeky tone.
73
Corral
separate wheat from chaffSeparate the sheep from the goats
Pothead licenses and licensed pot cafesAmphetamine licenses: and licensed facilities to dispense drugs (consumed on site) - just like Switzerland and heroinSwinging/polyamory/infidelity/adultery/casual sex licenses: to corral sex pests, perverts, incorrigible wastrels
Once corralled, do you have to vote for anyone from any one of these categories? Once corralled, can they then be excluded from C level and directorship positions in the public sector?
If non swingers end up taking the whole of the House of Representatives in NZ (only one level house) then they can select only non-swingers for directorship level positions in the public sector, and then the directors select only non-swingers for CEOs, CFOs and legal council in every government department.
Also, allow parents on the school boards to de-select and fire staff that they don't like. At the end of every school year, they can sack staff, and the staff get a couple of months notice before they have to leave the payroll. They do it based on hobbyist status (if their hobby is weed, meth, speed or "swinging" they can be sacked).
For shareholder elections it is similar. Mum and Dad investors and participants in funds vote only for non-swingers to be directors of companies. And also they put pressure on KiwiSaver funds to have only non-swingers as fund managers. It percolates its way through the machinery of "financial capitalism".
Also, you don't let swingers be pastors of your church, or potheads be your youth pastor, or swingers be your child's sporting coach.
These are all just ideas.
Divide and conquer also: divide swingers/poly/casual/liberal from fae
Swinging license holders can still make it as far up as middle management. We want swingers/polyamory/liberals and casual sex enthusiasts to be able to have a place in society, so that the “hyper ambitious rule the world lunatics” can’t hold sway over them. It’s like divide the people who just don’t want puritanical ethics on sex from the lunatics among the fae who want to rule the world (or lunatic social planners) as well as have a dozen women to choose from.
Similar for homosexuals, if they have a place in society then they are less likely to support bad actors and rule the world lunatics. The chill ones at least.
Ps: the puritans were (and are) actually pretty awesome. Faraday was one. By the way, a lot of them are just called “Congregationalists” afaik.
73
Academics:
12000 academics in nz. And probably 10000 administrators.
We create a new body, called the Academic Council of Representatives. It has 72 members, elected every three years. They are elected by FPP by each electorate.
This Council is very similar to a parliament. They meet 30 weeks every year. They debate and argue over various matters. They then have the power to "veto" academics on the level of employment. They can exile an academic from academic life by banishing them to Invercargill or Kaitaia for five years and banning them from working from home as a teacher. Or the academic can request to be expelled from the country (this is the most probably outcome). This is only for tertiary institutions who are being funded by the Government, including polytechs.
They can also be put in a six month timeout where they live under house arrest in a small town (north or south, like Tokaroa or Ashburton).
The council can only do this to a maximum of 600 academic staff and 500 tertiary administrators annually (either types of veto. That is, they can only do a cumulative 600 vetos of both types added up for example). It’s 5%
Most likely outcome: the academics request to be sent to England, Australia, Canada or America. And then they find a new job, as academic exiles. They get new jobs as academics overseas in universities. We just can’t force them to go overseas, because there is an international law thing.
They get told, you’re exiled. And then the academic staff member asks, can I just leave the country. And the council goes, yes. Absolutely! That’s a feature not a bug.
I see no reason that academics should be totally independent of our populace. Besides, I am an intellectual also. And many of our intellectuals outside of universities are equal (lol) to or superior to those working inside. And plenty of the people just chilling out playing Xbox or online games are smarter than our academics and (official) intellectuals. Or people who would hang out in forums, or be working as engineers. We are not America! Nor are we China! (America = lunatics; China = tards) a at least when it comes to academic nonsense.

What do I mean by healthy?
How will people know when I am "healthy". Umm. I'll tell them.
It’s not that I need these things to be able to be considered healthy, it is that by the time I am healthy, I will probably be able to do them by the time I am healthy.
It is basically I will, or would, let you know. And use my own judgment to decide what is good enough.
By the time I can do star jumps and comfortably go for long bush walks, all of the other stuff should be doable anyway. Probably, tbh. Like bicep curls, push ups and shoulder dumbbell press, and planks and hand grip exercises. A lot of that is downstream of the changes that need to happen to be able to do long bush walks, star jumps and stuff like that.
For example, my ground muscles and that whole region is borked, because I have to “hold tone” there all day long just to walk around or do anything. By the time I can comfortably do star jumps, that whole thing will all be totally sorted. Doing star jumps is downstream of sorting out those problems. What else? My feet are screwed up, and they don’t support my body, and my balance is messed with in my neck and shoulders, by the time I can handle long bush walks on uneven terrain (such as leafy decomposing paths, and cope just fine, a lot of those problems will already have been solved.
Furthermore, jump rope involves full body coordination. By the time I can jump rope, I will inevitably have solved tons of problems before that. Just to get to that point.
And wouldn’t be able to comfortably do pushups until the “whole body” problems have been solved.
The problems have something to do with how the neck, back and torso relate to one another. They relate to the head, neck, torso relationships, and how the arms and legs tie into that. I can’t really explain it in full, because I’m not an expert science or technical writer. But I’m speaking honestly, and I’m not trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

**
Or to cut a long story short, by the time I am able to comfortably do jump rope, I will have had the opportunity to regain all of the other abilities and capacities, and probably have done so already. And will probably have solved all of the other problems. I should be capable of doing basically all of the stuff by then.
The correct answer is that…. I’ll just let you know when I’m healthy…
Edit: merely getting to the point where I am comfortable with pushups and jump rope would probably be good enough. By the time I am quite capable of doing a whole bunch of pushups and plenty of jump rope, and doing so comfortably, I should have sorted everything else out. FWIW, it is an indicative measure, not a conclusive one.

Women: refugees.
Middle aged women in our society are getting hurt and need shelter. They get brain damage. They should (or could) become shut in hermits in faraday sheltered houses. Two bedroom houses maybe. And once they exist as a demographic, should work as a voting bloc to be declared refugees and to get special treatment and government welfare (hand outs). Some of these women are married, some aren’t. But they are refugees. They often get brain fried until they participate in the “swinger/bully” lifestyle.
Shelter them, and declare them refugees, and then give them welfare and other government hand outs. Also, changing zoning laws and building regulations to make faraday safe houses more affordable.
**
These middle aged women then start a charity to build shelters for young women being coerced into the “bully-skank lifestyle”. And they start charities to support them financially. They also lobby the government to give the women a special type of welfare called the young women’s electronic freedoms and safety allowance, so that they don’t have to work. Basically, the young women get the unemployment benefit. These women give up on sex entirely until the whole thing blows over. These young women are 24/7 hermits and shut ins. They never leave shelter. These young women LOVE it. There are things like walled gardens attached to the houses. And special long walking paths built into the neighbourhood designs, and cafes and restaurants and some basic general stores. Everything else is online shopping.

Another idea, only loosely related.
Faraday safe houses: turned into neighbourhood libraries
Another idea: build local neighbourhood libraries. In every neighbourhood. They just have a small area for shelves of books to borrow, they have areas for reading, writing and studying. Areas for quiet conversation. And maybe tea and coffee making facilities (like tea and coffee, but you ask permission first, and leave a silver coin as a donation in the box (silver = 20 or 50 cents). And everyone has access to a sheltered place for conversation and reading. And solitude of mind. They are built by private sharing money, on public land. But maintained by the local council. This uses the same model that Andrew Carnegie used to build public libraries.
And it has internet browsing capabilities. And you can listen to audio and watch videos.
**
Lobbying for plazas
They lobby the local government to build faraday plazas. The plazas measure 100 metres by 60 metres. They convert soccer fields, rugby fields or cricket fields. This contains maybe 220 ish mini walls, at current calculations.
These plazas are then used by all and sundry. They are council property, and can be rented. From Monday to Thursday is it about one third full of market stalls and food trucks, on Fridays the Muslims rent half of it. On Saturdays the farmers market uses it. And on Sunday mornings churches use it in shifts for sermons and fellowship (fellowship = tea and coffee).
On Sunday evenings it is used as a family picnic location (no trading allowed).
Most of it is set aside for normal socialising Monday to Thursday.
Something like that.
There are children's playgrounds and bouncy castles and equipment and stuff around the place too. And sometimes live music, performances, dance performances, plays or comedy. Or even things like a dance with lights and music. It is where you do carols in the park. Maybe on Monday you have a no trading day as well. It's actually the sort of place that grandparents can take their grandchildren. It is safe and fun. And it isn't expensive (unless you want to buy your grandchild an ice cream or a hot dog), and doesn't have an entry fee.
Politicians (local and national level) use it to give speeches and meet constituents.
Geeks put up giant tents and have LAN events, or play war hammer, magic the gathering or yu gi oh.
Women have craft fairs, men have wood turning and wood working fairs. People put on wrestling matches, both competitive and “staged” pro wrestling.
They have doctors clinics sometimes, or physio. Counselling.
Debates
Talent shows
“Movie nights under the stars”
Rock concerts, Christian rock shows
Morris Dancing
lectures by rogue academics
Town fairs, carnivals
You could have people playing volley ball, air hockey in a tent and cricket, children playing tag, people playing table tennis. You could have a rapid set up and tear down arcade. You could have old folks doing casino night in a big tent. Anything.

They then fund football sized faraday plazas for homeless people in other countries. Just 120 meters by 60 metres. Fresh water pipes in, delivered through taps. And a few cinderblock buildings of toilets. Those are the only amenities. Homeless people bring in shacks on wheels, with locking doors. I have seen these online. They should be okay. I can’t explain what they look like, but they are pretty basic. Outsiders bring in lots of food.
Those people are electromagnetic refugees, not hopeless and disgusting bums. They are people whose lives matter (even if they are very difficult or uncouth?).
Got to get the movement going first. And need to prototype and test out the technology before that.
***
Tent city
Uhhh. Maybe people could just build a plaza the size of two football fields. Need some donations to do it! Install some cinderblock buildings of toilets, make sure that the plumbing is good (water in, waste out), build a few communal kitchens. Invite people to put up tents (keep lists of who is allowed to stay there, maybe wrist bands, charge them money, just a little), and invite food sellers there to cook affordable food for the people staying there (rent the place to them to sell food, or a license), and have a general store on site.
I still think that private family homes are a better idea, embedded in suburbia. And that plaza model for day time use only is more likely to succeed. But this idea ought to be mentioned too.
****
****
Other ideas:
Put faraday shielded libraries adjacent to the plaza. Both are owned and managed and maintained by the local city council plus volunteers. And make sure that the council (or local churches) own and control a few basic safe houses that exist for people being badly harmed physically. Just for short term stays.

More brainstormed ideas:
74
All academics and administrators must be monogamous.
New Law
"Break the hold of swingers, polyamorists, adulterers and other perverts and sex pests over our universities act of 2028".
If you want to have sex with someone, as an academic at a university, then you and your partner must register with the ministry of education. To get permission. You're allowed one partner only. If you wish to move on, you may deregister this partner by applying at the ministry of education for a deregistration. It takes about 60-90 days for this to happen. Once you have this de registration, then you're allowed to apply for a new one. If you have sex with someone without permission, then you go to jail for 20 years.
This strikes at the very heart of the system. Nothing strikes harder at it than this. Nothing that I can think of. See Faust.
It kills the system of pale, male, stale swingers who teach at universities. Sorry, wrong phrase. That is the central lifestyle issue. The key demographic.
75
Orthodox Jews in the USA pay for fallen women (high volume d'reg sex workers) to be sheltered long term in faraday safe houses. A comfortable one. In exchange, the women stop having sex. It is kind of like a witness protection program for horrible women. A lot of these women can't get out of the system. These Orthodox Jews play the part of redeemer.
The system loses one of its favourite bargaining chips, or favourite forms of currency. The system gets weaker. It is a fantastic idea.
This is not an idea for New Zealand, because we don't have Jews. But I suppose plenty of other people could do it. Like Christians or Muslims.

Males and what men are supposed to be
The father in the novel Swiss Family Robinson (a fictional character)
Michael FaradayGregor MendelWilliam WilberforceAlexander Graham Bell
If a guy was wondering what it meant to be male. Who good examples of maleness, masculinity are. Who is a good example of what a man can do. They all solve problems.
Faraday is the greatest scientist England has ever produced. Mendel invented a lot of genetics, working in obscurity as a celibate monk. Wilberforce got slavery abolished in the British Empire and was one of the founders of the RSPCA (proper treatment of animals and good treatment of people often go hand in hand). Alexander Graham bell invented the telephone and worked altruistically and compassionately with the disabled. The father in Swiss Family Robinson is a problem solver. Four out of five are Christians.
I am not sure that sportsmen or fighters are the people to look to if you’re trying to figure out who or what you should be. Statesmen usually aren’t either.

Also, trading is very morally appropriate. Traders, merchants, shopkeepers, bookkeepers, accountants and good managers are morally acceptable, or even praiseworthy things to be. Managers = stewardship. Managing assets and people, for example in private capital.

Extended Periods of Forced Masturbation
Did you know that they forced me to masturbate for like 72 days straight? While I was crippled. And indeed too crippled to shower? I hadn't showered for 6 years at the time.
I was masturbating for about 12-16 hours per day. And interrogated throughout the day (and night) for a period of weeks.
I was violently coerced and otherwise threatened into masturbating for about 16 hours a day.
They threatened to harm me so badly that I would be unable to seek justice regarding Lily (or custody). Or that is what seemed to be implied.
They had previously harmed me physically with heat and cold, when I was already incapable of dressing myself with warm clothes, or shoes or socks.
If I stopped doing anything, and refused to masturbate, they would harm me by using my own muscles. I called this effect the "gravity cannon". I was also being kept on extremely soft ground, which hurt and harmed my feet. The soft ground and the harm that it did to my feet synergised with the horrible things that they did to destroy the integrity of my torso, I.E. crippling my torso so badly that I couldn't use my arms or legs. The soft ground worked with the other stuff to make me much worse. The soft ground consisted of carpet on top of perhaps 10 - 14 cm of memory foam. It was very thick memory foam! My feet were sore all the time too.
**
At the time I was afraid that they would maim and “fry” me so badly that I would be unable to seek justice regarding Lily (or custody).
And they did. They maimed, crippled, hurt and “fried” me so badly that I can't seek justice re: Lily.
**
They had a number of key words and trigger words/phrases to do this whole thing.

Next: I am still trying to write up my full story!

More ideas: the brainstorm continues
76
There are people who want to live the poly/swinger lifestyle so much that they would risk, or even allow, themselves to get syphilis, aids, Yaws/Pinta/Bejel, every single strain of HPV + HSV (there are many strains). They will risk HPV getting spread to their face, and having a bunch of flat warts freezer-burnt out, and risk TB. Nothing will ever stop them.
Some people would never be willing to join those filthy worthless sinners. Not after all of the things those d'reg sinners have done to it. Not for all of the tea in China.
So why not have a system where people can get a license? To do poly/swinging, so that they can have virtual enclaves? It might stop them digging in their heels? It might be a good way to do things. Not every poly/swinger is a power hungry lunatic.

What else?
Punitive taxes for people labelled as a dreg, philosopher king or a bad person who engages in manipulation to create all manner of immoral and repressive disorder
Do a petition initiated referendum on someone registered to vote in your electorate. Let us say, a man name Daniel Cooper. If five percent label him as a "designated bad person" in a petition, do a referendum. And if 75% declare that he is a designated bad person, aka a dregvant. Then he is worthy of punitive taxation, then his tax code is 50% income tax from 0 - 200k and 75% income tax on all income above 200k. Capital gains taxes are set at 50%. And ALL capital gains must be realised and taxed annually. On both stocks and housing. Including assets overseas. PIE funds are taxed at 50% or 75% respectively, depending on income. The punitive taxes last for 5 years. Basically, they have to put assets into a pie or something, because real estate is kaput as an investment at this point.
You are also declared to not be a "fit and proper person". Which is an important designation. It means that you couldn't be something like a lawyer, pilot, electrician, manage a private school etc. You can't run a lending institution like a finance company. And a few other things.
You are also banned from registering companies.
FWIW, these people are tried in the media and tried in public discussion long before the vote is taken. And if it is just a hate mob, enough time will pass, and clearer heads will prevail, and people like me will suggest that we err on the side of caution for some people, and they will not pass the 75% threshold. Two - three bloggers with a bit of sway in my location could get public opinion to sway in favour of letting them off. There would be specific watchdog organisations.
78
Empowerment
The way to do is that you empower the good Chinese to sort out the bad Chinese by giving them safe havens and places of refuge, and internet connections. E.g. a faraday shielded house or complex, within a nation or a state that allows that and provides police protection. Except perhaps it is user pays and private free market for the housing, but then the local state is friendly regarding building codes, and the sheriff is super friendly with preventing intimidation of the Chinese.
Good guys = Chinese dissidentsBad guys = Chinese Government CCP (and possibly ROC and Singapore a little bit! Sorry! I think that they might repress Chinese a bit. Ditto for the Hong Kong city government).
And then the good guys make websites, tv shows, radio shows, newspapers and blogs. They start news websites and news organisations, including doing political analysis of stuff at all levels on China. For example, they report on local and municipal elections in China. Province level elections. Corruption cases. They do political news. They also harbour members of the intelligentsia, and start political movements from abroad, and seek out support from members of their host state (just like the Irish did in the USA). They also create platforms like podcast networks, podcast distribution servers, video sharing platforms and video hosting servers (some p2p and some centralised). And they start chat rooms and social networks. They do propaganda in the form of books and magazines. Some material tugs at the heart strings, kind of like books such as "the good women of China" did in the past. Some material is good academic content analysing China's economy and political systems. Some material analyse their military capabilities. Some materials are just pieces of general social analysis and how-to advice for Chinese coping with life as part of the diaspora.
They reform China from abroad.
Empower people to solve their own problems.

Really silly ideas for Asia.
How about we use African scarification on Korean, Japanese or Chinese women, given that they are overly worried about their skin and appearance?
What else...
Have a license to get hair dye or wigs for women over the age of 40. It costs $500 for people with income under 100k. 10k for people with income between 100k and 250k. And 50k for people with income over 250k per annum. Discounts exist for women who have lost their hair due to illness, and exemptions exist for wigs for black women. Because like, sometimes their hair just gets really screwed up. But still the same thing exists for the hair dye part of it. Hair extensions are included in this.
Just google “African scarification”.
It’s all about class, wealth, status, humility, vanity and modesty. It’s hard to care overmuch about your looks as a grown adult women, if your face has been already deliberately marred with scars.

Amanda and I spent thousands on our wedding, and paid for a fancy photographer too. We had catering, a budget at the bar totalling some sad amount of money, a celebrant, expensive dress for her and all that boring stuff. We had table centre pieces, like decorations. Nice printed invitations and stuff like that. My family were Christians. Sometimes Christians get married young.
The people hounding me are dunderheads and muppets. Never mind the noise, and don't let them bother you. They are all numpties. And misrepresenting everything completely. The reception was at the waterfront bar and cafe. And the wedding was at the beach. The minister was Mike hocking. All of our parents were there, even though Lesley and Daryl weren't speaking to one another.
Someone could have told me that Amanda was a loony tunes character and living a double life. But they didn't. A full and better story will be written later. It will be a part of the "my life story, part xyz story".

Are the Americans competent as traders and in industrialisation? And are they good merchants? Yes. Ditto for the British. They deliver the goods. But the same cannot be said of the Chinese. If you know, you know. I read a lot of history of trade and manufacturing, as well as science and finance. No further explanation will be given.
