He Who Controls the Information Controls the World

Many believe that there is significant money to be made in the control, restriction and regulation of information. Some have said; He Who Controls the Information Controls the World. Indeed they may both be correct. We have all heard the saying; He Who Controls the Media Controls the Minds of the People. That is true enough for sure.

Can someone get rich by controlling the flow of information? Perhaps they can and many already have. There are many techniques for this, however, limiting flow of information, also limits ones growth, even being first to market in a specific sub-sector. Thus those who have set up information portals and websites, which restrict information of some type stand a lot to gain from it.

Of course the information must be superior in perceived quality other wise the information source will be passed by others with a quantity balanced approach to quality. I say perceived because I do not believe wearing a tie and suit in a photo, sporting a PhD or even writing a book makes someone an expert.

In the future there will be fakers and true information brokers making a lot of money in the virtual space. If these information entrepreneurs restrict the flow; like an afterburner they can see their profits blast into the future. But if they restrict the flow too tight then the pressure will find another outlet, the pipeline will burst and the information will find another way. This is how flows work in nature and this is how information works too. So, consider all this in 2006.

The Human Mind Cannot Comprehend an Infinite God

Often when one asks a question of a religious leader for which that religious leader has not a clue; they will often state that the Human mind cannot comprehend the mighty and powerful or infinite God? Hey thats a good one isnt it, it lets them out of answering your question doesnt it? If you press them everyone once in a while one might say that human beings do not use all their brain capacity. But in answering these questions in this way it merely leads to more questions for instance;

Your comment on the inability of the human mind to explain God pre-supposes that the human mind is inferior? Yet at the same time you say humans do not use all their brains. So then if humans used all their brains they could by your definition understand god. But this indeed pre-supposes there is a god, gods or energy if you will.

Now then I submit to you that the human animal has been getting wiser and smarter over the past 50,000 years and only now with abundance do some human s choose to not think and therefore a slight dummying down of the masses.

If a god was energy, then that in its self explains the whole thing. No more information is needed and it is rather self-explanatory, so therefore it is easy for a human mind to understand. Much simpler in fact than these huge religious texts of literature and hand-me-down mass hallucination religious doctrine, which change over time to continue to control the peasants. Be careful of religious rhetoric and BS and consider this in 2006.

No Human Can Ever Travel Faster Than the Speed of Light

Some believe that no matter what no human can ever travel faster than the speed of light. Recently a member in a think tank became embroiled in controversy when he stated this in such a matter of factly way. But he did seem to indicate that one could travel in consciousness as an observer in time.

Another member of the think tank stated that we could send pArticles or seeds of life in time on a chemical laser beam. The protagonist of the heated debate found these thoughts interesting and the think tanker who had stated that it would be possible to send pArticles back in time said;

It is intriguing that you find my thoughts on traveling at speeds greater than the speed of light interesting, how so? Your consciousness matrix is an interesting use of compound words indeed. Time may very well be something that our mind does.

The aggressive protagonist then stated that; If a human being ever succeeds in traveling at a speed greater than the speed of light, he will no longer be human because he will undergo a change in consciousness and all these theories by Einstein and others will not apply.

I completely disagree with this notion, if a human being travels faster than the speed of light, then he would most likely either be light or pure energy, as per Einsteins theories so in this case the theories do indeed hold true to your sentence and until you re-structure this sentence you have validated Einsteins theory of relativity not nixed it.

Do you ever think about time travel or the speed of light? Is this something you wish to discuss? If so do you know where you can go to discuss it? What are your thoughts on time, space, energy, mass and light? Let us kno w on that and think on this in 2006.

Philosophical Arguments Against Illegal Immigration

In the United States of America we live in a society, which is caring and loving of all people. Most Americans do not want to exploit illegal aliens in some sort of slave labor. At the same time we realize that we cannot afford to take all the poor people of the world into our civilization and feed them.

There are hundreds of millions of poor people in Africa, South America, India, China and the rest of Asia in the United States has big and as economically strong as we are, we just can't take everyone. Over 3.5 Billion People live on less than a dollar a day. Currently there are 24 million illegal aliens United States and 60 percent of those came from Mexico and we need to be very careful not to take too many more or we jeopardize all that we have built in this great country of ours.

Below is excerpt all that article that I wrote back in 1999 discussing this very issue and the information in this paragraph is still warranted and must be considered. We must d o what's right for the American people and also consider the illegal aliens in their plight as they flee from Mexico's corrupt government for a better life;

Right now it may appear good to employers because wages are kept low, yet if the middle class disappears then there will be no one to sell too. Then what? Remember we do not make anything, we do not use our own resources, and we are giving away our technology to Nations who have yet to go where we have been. Can we afford to do that? I do not want to have a civil conflict with my neighbor who came here for a better life to feed his family. I do not want talk two different languages to people on the streets. I do not want to catch a disease that was suppose to be gone 40 years ago. I do not want to lose the middle class who buys my services and who will own our franchises in order to move to the next class.

All Americans must wise up and consider the reality of a situation. It is okay to be of a libera l mindset, but the same time we must face reality if we are to move the United States of America forward to the utopia that we all seek and for the forward progression of our nation and the future of our children and their children. Please consider this in 2006 on a more realistic basis.

What If There Were More Than One God?

What if there were more than one God? In the major present religions most of them have one God? Some have one God and some friends, such as Holy Ghosts, spouses of God, Sons of Gods and you know Profits and such. But generally most of the religions have one God instead of many Gods like the Greeks.

It kind of makes sense for humans to have one God, because they are so easily confused. Some say out little minds often cannot keep track of more than one. It is just to o much to remember you see? And they know they need a God because someone told them, so they choose the God of the most convenience and usually that comes with their childhood indoctrination. But, what if there were more than One God? What then? Perhaps this might mess up our needed productivity, as we would be spending too much time studying al these friggin Gods and thus we would not have as much time to work and procreate the next generation of organic Robot children to follow in our working shoe steps.

So maybe civilization or the BeeHive of Humanity is best with only one God, as it s implifies things for us. And having a God or the fear of God also helps us, as it kind of keeps us all inline, before we figure out we have been had and served our lives as slaves to the plan, which is not our own, but that of another. Through this fear we can keep everyone working hard economic enslavement and productive, make sure they procreate and then let them die before they become a problem, start thinking and asking too many questions. Too many Gods might make us less focused you see? Think on this. Too heavy, bothers you belief system, okay dont. But I did give you the choice to believe and have faith in the reality of the human life experience.

Taking Wars Off the Political Negotiation Table?

Is it possible to make politicians and leaders of all nations stay at the negotiation table and not break off communication, which could lead to War? Really make them hammer out solutions rather than puffing up their chests for War. Can we eliminate Wars by taking War as a possible strategy for political will off the table of negotiation?

Well Wars are an unfortunate calamity of the genetics of the species, perhaps they are why we ended up at the top of the mammalian food chain. Never the less the problem of War stems from political impasse and causes breakdowns in civilization, which affect the masses. War is indeed an extension of political control over another. Perhaps the answer is to take the humans in politics the world over and help them see past culture and differences to work out arrangements in a common cause and to trade fairly and honestly.

If those at the top will work harder in negotiation and understand their differences and work past them then W ars will no longer be considered a viable option for the political chessboard. Thats my take on it Allen and here are few additional thoughts and philosophies of War;

http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=8e118b048de458fe41b9b7c0abdd3450&showtopic=243

Some feel that this may indeed be the last century of human Wars and that we will indeed move forWard in a common cause, which will unite mankind without War. Spending our resources on more positive endeavors such as space exploration or disease. Anything is possible so consider all this in 2006.

The Wisdom of a Road

A small road can give us Wisdom. These words may seem strange to many. But after reading this article many will change their views and agree with me. Every week I go to Rampur from Moradabad (both districts in Utter Pradesh, India) and come back. For the last two years I am repeating this to and fro journey. I have seen the all good and bad shapes of road. I have seen it in all seasons. I have enjoyed its grace and beauty. I have enjoyed its cuts and jumps too. This road is the Part of Delhi- Lucknow highway. It is 27 km in length. It takes nearly one hour to cross this busy road. Thousands of people travel every day on this road.

This road is very familiar to me; I know each uniqueness and weakness of this road. My people before me must have traveled on this road. Even there may be people who know it much better than me. They may be traveling everyday. There memories associated with road may be more than me. There are many people who have died on this road. For there familys road may be associated with bad memories. Every body travels on this road a poor man to a VIP. This road has treated every body in same way.

For the last two years this road is sharing with me some Wisdom, which I am going to share with you. The first this road tells us is never involve deeply with anybody. This road takes lots of people to their destinations. It travels with them up to their destination and leave them there alone for further travel. It doesnt accompany them. But take some other for accompanying to its destination. We also have to accompany people up to their destinations and help them to reach there. Once they get it, our job ends. There should not be any expectation in our mind in return of helping the others. This is the real purpose of our life.

The second point is road remain same in all conditions and seasons. It never changes its direction. It may be in what ever shape, it always take us to our destination. Similarly like road, we should be ready for all difficulties and face them. We should never deviate from our chosen goals. But accomplish them under all circumstances. Many kind of situations may come, but we should be firm like road towards our destination. Our aim should be clear to reach our destination.

Third point is to be open to everybody. Road doesnt distinguish between individuals. Every body is same for him. It never disallows the poor from traveling on it or favors the rich in traveling on it. It is open to a cycle in the same way as to a expensive car. We should also be open to everybody and not to restrict to some. If someone has the need, w e should be ready to fulfill it without any prejudice towards any body in our mind.

Fourth point is satisfaction, road never riches any where or achieves any thing significant. Still road is satisfied. It never welcomes the person coming on it with frustration. It has nothing to achieve, but it is helpful in others fulfilling their dreams. We are in life become so obsessed with our goals, that their non achievement makes us dissatisfied. So we become a frustrated individual. Due to this frustration either our family members or the innocents suffer. We see only our goals and never care about the others. We require changing our outlook.

Road in his silence tells us many things. We require listening to it. For this we require a calmness of our mind. This is filled with worldly needs. We need to reprogram it and learn from the road.
