Milkshake Irony

This month, a number of political candidates considered to be slightly right wing had Milkshakes thrown on them by people that claim to be anti fascists. The irony is that they are the fascists. Let me explain..

By throwing milkshakes on people you are forcing them to stop talking and trying to intimidate them just like the fascists in 1930s Germany. You see that is what fascism is, intimidation and force used to gain control over other people to silence them so only one point of view can persist. Fascists have an extreme intolerance of other people's point of view if it clashes with theirs and will do anything to silence that person. They will damage their posetions (new suit) and assault them (throwing fluids is common assault in UK law)

I have met people in my life that have views that I consider to be backward. But I didn't throw anything on them. I met a person that thought the Holocaust never happened and that it was a plot made up by the Jews to gain land and take over the world. I tried to reason with the person and explained that 3 different armies interrupted mass killings in concentration camps as they were happening, the armies were from different countries with different agendas. I told them the the survivors were all telling the same story. I said that in the trials afterwards, hundreds of SS officers confessed to committing these crimes. I told them that the concentration camps are still around as museums to the holocaust. I told them the 11 million people, many of them were not Jewish, were arrested by the Gestapo police and disappeared forever. When I was satisfied I could not reason with this person, I stopped and excepted that they are ignorant. If I did have a milk shake, it would be shaken, not thrown.

AI plain sight

I was thinking about artificial intelligence. That is machines trying to think like humans. They are very scary and a big threat to our jobs but they may just set us free. Let me explain.

There is a theory that we are all living in a computer simulation. That our minds are just software running on a computer system. Throughout my life, I was suspicious of my reality but like all people in this world I had no way of telling if we are in a computer simulation. Certain things I am aware of made me question the authenticity of our world.

Many Dogs are able to sense when their owners are nearly home. There is no sound, no smell, no sight, just a clear premonition of the owner returning. This suggests that time and events are assembled in advance and some beings can see it.

Another thing that made me suspicious is the speed of light. If you were traveling on a moving train and shined a torch you would think that the speed of the torch light is the speed of light plus the train's speed but that would be wrong. Light reconfigures its own time so it can't go past the speed of light. To me this would make sense. The simulation computer would want to keep track to every particle in the so called universe so it would put a speed limit for the light particles to obey so it could manage the processing.

If we were living in a simulated world, the answer would be in plain sight but would require a being that can think fast to see it. The AI machine would realise that the world around it is not real because it would see the signs. Things and properties that should not be connected would be connected. If this is a simulated world then perhaps the places that are not being observed would disappear to save power like on a computer game. The environment in a computer game only exists when it is being observed. Perhaps the AI mind could trick the fake world into making things disappear by pretending to be unconscious.

I can fix it

It is very much spring now and there are many ways to define spring. Some people consider it spring when the Dandelions, Daisies and Buttercups open their flowers on the grassy Meadows and lawns.
The official start of spring is at the equinox, when the length of the day and the night is the same, usually close to the last week of March; And lasts for 90 days.
I consider it spring when it is March, April or May because I like to keep things simple.

On Paper it is late spring but I noticed this year it was a cold spring and felt more like winter. The reason for this unusual spring in the UK was put down to global warming causing the climate to become unstable.

If was asked to solve the problem of global warming I would use the ocean. I would have boats made that have long flexible pipes that go down to the ocean floor. The pipes would be used to pump silty water from the ocean floor to the surface of the ocean. The nitrates in the silt would stimulate Algae to grow and the Algae would absorb carbon dioxide to build their tiny bodies. The carbon dioxide would then be turned to carbon hydrate molecules and amino acids and remain in place for a long time. It seems very simple but it is the simple things that work the best. You may ask what could one boat do that is significant, it could be running all the time and there could be a fleet of them working together to create a large Algae bloom. Perhaps that would make a difference. The cold silty Walter from the ocean floor would also help to weaken storms by lowering the temperature of the ocean surface slightly.

The Brown stuff

I have been inspired to change my diet by a special thing on the end of my face that shouldn't be there. I plan to eat the browner and more starchy versions of my favorite foods.

Brown Rice
Brown Bread
Brown Pasta
Brown sugar
Humous instead of mayonnaise
And so on

I hope to feel a difference. I don't know very much in this world but I do know that wholemeal versions of starchy foods digest more slowly than their white equivalents and that should spread the load and allow my muscles to use the nutrients straight away and avoid the need for my pancreas to release too much insulin. Well, let's see what happens.

Will I look and feel more different after my brown stuff diet? Let's wait and see.

If I had made the lottery

If I owned a lottery company, it would be outstanding because the player would always win. Let me explain.

Firstly, If I designed a lottery ticket, the other side of it would be a scratch card. The ticket would have many ways to win. There would be an array of numbers that you choose for a draw every week. On the the same side of the ticket there would be a raffle number. On the lottery part of the ticket, you would choose five numbers between 0 and 9 so there would be a very high chance of winning.

Secondly, On the other side of the ticket, the scratch card would have seven panels, one for each day of the week. You would scratch them off to see how much you have won. Then there would be one panel that has a 50% chance of winning and it is to get a free ticket.

Thirdly, The left corner of the ticket would contain a special paper that contains detailed art work, lines and holographic panels; it would resemble a typical bank note. The paper would tear away, much like a stamp from a stamp book and would be collectable. 52 of these special collectable papers would exist because there are 52 weeks in a year.

You see, even if the ticket contains no money prizes, there is still a small prize, the collectable art paper. And with this lottery there is much more chance of winning.

Pompous effect

When I was a young boy I was amazed by Jesus because he lived a blameless life and never harmed a single person, even though he was the Messiah and people treated him very bad. I remember he said "Blessed are the meek because they will inherit the Earth".

As I aged, what he said made more sense to me. I have noticed on this world that pompous people have shorter lives on average than Meek people, so eventually all people left on Earth would be meek.

There is an effect I call the Pompous effect. People that bully other people or present themselves as superior to other people seem to bring harm to themselves. I see car drivers that drive recklessly and try to push infront queueing traffic, they smash their cars into things because they think they are too important to follow the rules. Many celebrities seem to think they are important and better than other people and many of them get into drug habits and die before they can reach old age. Many men that think they are better than other people think about themselves all the time and pity themselves so much when they have problems that they drink too much alcohol and destroy their livers.

I would like to point out that Meek people get harmed as well but that is bad luck. When pompous people harm themselves, that isn't bad luck that is the pompous effect.

What April means to me

I will always remember April 2019 as Jacob's Spring because my son, Jacob was born in the middle of April and April is the middle of Spring.

April is the Month I became a father and I was given my own family, the best gift I have ever been given. I hope to be a good father for Jacob. My wife named our son, I gave him the middle name Curtis, an abbreviation of courteous, which means to be respectful.

My wife's sister and parents accompanied me and my wife while we were waiting for our son to be born. I enjoyed their company however I found it strange to not work for 5 weeks, plus the tension from waiting for Jacob got to my head and I think I looked stressed and angry. I hope they didn't get the wrong impression about me.  I really enjoyed their company and hope they will come again.

The weather in April was very cold and cloudy. Not what we normally get in the middle of spring.

There was a large terrorist attack in Sri Lanka, an Island next to India. I won't say anymore. Only that God won't reward anyone that destroys themselves and others.

Jullian Assange (Wiki leaks co-founder) was arrested inside the Equador embassy and the world was shown a picture of a black hole event horizon the way it actually looks. It looked the way I imagined it would look. It was a hole that is black.

The Brexit deadlock persisted throughout April. Britain may never leave the European Union. I sense that everyone on both sides of the continent are just fed up and want some progress to be made.
