History:
The day I started this project, I had just watched 20 hours of a guy
called Ricardo Lopez documenting the last 9 months of his life,
and at the end of the tape he shot himself in the head. I realised how
useful it had been, to see the absolute honesty of a man who was going
to kill himself, and I realised that if everyone just started showing
the world anything noteworthy that they conclude, with absolute
honesty, there is likely to be many who can learn from you.
So here lies everything noteworthy that's in my mind.
My observations and theories.
My opinions, creations and ideas.
My advice.
The medium:
I have decided to use text for the moment, I was going to try a "mind
map" but a html page with sections turned out to be easier to manage.
Please excuse any poor use of the English language, I personally
don't know it well as a medium, and I'm sorry that you have to read through it
all, but please do not think this removes validity from any of my
arguments.
--The author
^Everyone
(section)
What goes in this section?
- expository stuff
- no POV[10], and no
personal advice to the reader directly, no refering to the author as "I"
- just "sheding light" on new concepts
- IAR[17]
^Majority
sucks hypothesis
observations:
- Most humans want the human species to continue to evolve (at
least the author does).
- Evolution requires variation,
it requires an organism to be
different from the majority, in order to either fail miserably, or the
differences turn out to make the organism better, and the differences
slowly becomes more
common in the organism's population, turning the organisms population
into something more evolved.
- To most people "majority rules", is regarded as an ultimate,
flawless
form of government.
- The more you try to please the majority, the less variation there will be.
e.g:
1
- In television, the mission for roughly %99 of shows is to get the
most
views, to make the most money.
- This means getting the most viewers, pleasing the majority.
- Therefore, in television, the majority rule.
- And look at how well that's turned out. The most popular shows
are
unbearable, to the author at least. TV has
not "evolved" significantly in content since the 90s. They still re-run
shows like Seinfeld and Friends which are late 80s, early
90s because those shows are up-to-the-standard-of if not better-than
the shows made today.
- Television will never evolve, if it never tries anything new,
it will not try anything new, if it's aim is to please the majority.
2
- Wikipedia has information of a far higher quality than television.
- If the government was as organised Wikipedia, we would be better
off.
- One of the Wikipedia official policies, is that "Wikipedia is
not a Democracy".[9]
And the founder of Wikipedia has said "voting is evil".[9] It use to be a
policy called WP:VIE.
explanation:
Do you see where this is going? When
the majority is in charge things suck and never evolve. The majority
discourage population variations, and hinder
evolution.
fix:
Logical consensus should out-rule the
majority.
e.g.
If 60% of people think "creationism" should be taught in science
class, it shouldn't matter, because logical consensus suggests that it
is not a scientific principle.
e.g. Any book where the
creator doesn't care about offending his audience, where the creator
isn't trying to please the majority, pretty much will always be
fantastic. For example anything by Chuck Palanuik.
It would be nice if those in charge care about what someone actually
says, instead of just how many of them say it.
So when the time comes, don't 'vote' for me to rule the nation, 'agree
with me' to rule the
nation.

^Three theory
It is a means of explaining/predicting why intelligent creatures (in
particular humans) make certain
decisions.
It splits someone's "reasons for making
a decision/means of making the decision"
into three equal sections. For reference, these are named: Glace, Sam
and LMOE. Call them whatever you want, it really doesn't matter, the
author is open to new names.
Think of them as basically "play, rest and work" or "inputs, processes
and outputs".
Author's note: I use
this hypothesis so many times to explain things elsewhere in this text
it's not funny, not to mention how much I use it in real life.
^Glace
| Who is
"Glace"? |
Mostly active with which brainwaves?
|
Usually
prominent in
|
the perceiving you
|
alpha (8-12 Hz) |
Anything where you are
perceiving new experiences.
- play
- via TV and (sometimes) books
- watching a game
- listening to music
- watching things in real life when you don't have to
actually do anything
- doing things "just to see what happens"
- being in the emotional state of "wonder" or "curiosity"
|
What does "Glace" want?
- to experience the most possible
- to see everything, to hear everything, to touch everything, to
smell everything, to taste everything, to feel everything
- Glace is the reason you can't look away when you see a car
wreck
- the reason you stare at retards and insane people
- the reason you take "risks without gain in mind",
- extreme examples
include:
- thrill killing
- bungee jumping
- joy riding
- recreational drug taking
Causes/Effects of repressing "Glace"
Glace is often considered "mischievous"
and in "modern western culture" it is the MOST REPRESSED out the three.
Repressing Glace can be done by someone
not allowing themselves to "mess around" or do things without a "valid"
reason. It can lead to the subject letting Glace "burst out" later in
life,
in extreme ways like:
- abnormal sexual behaviour
- killing just for fun
- addictions
Glace has no conscious, no guilt, no
concern for others, in a society with consequences for such actions,
repressing Glace and forcing him to "burst out" later in life could get
the subject into serious trouble.
The author personally takes his glace very seriously and never "fights
against it".
The rule that Glace enforces:
R:HPHN
(rule: half positive half negative)
To
be
mentally balanced, half your experiences should be 'negative' per se,
and half should be 'positive' per se.
Assuming you want to live the "fullest"
life, with perspective and wisdom, you should experience the greatest
range that you can.
Meaning you must experience things that
give you negative emotions, as well as things that give you positive
emotions, to get the greatest range.
i.e.
"love" and "hate", should be equally embraced.
"love trumps hate" is such an
unrealistic philosophy, the author believes that it's actually causing
more harm to humanity.
Repressing one of these in your life will lead to a mentally
unbalanced person.
And that is exactly what censorship of
any kind does.
R:CID
(rule: censorship is detrimental)
non-optional
censorship is detrimental to
perspective, wisdom, and your mental balance, which are subsets of your
freedom.
If
there was a button on the wall, that
said: "THIS BUTTON WILL KILL ANYONE WHO IS FULLY INFORMED AND IS STILL
PRO NON-OPTIONAL CENSORSHIP OF THE GENERAL POPULATION." I would press
the
button without hesitation, because they are trying to violate my
freedom.
If you want to censor your life
go ahead
If you want to censor
my life
I will fight you to the death to
prevent it
at least the dead can't be censored
Censorship is arbitrary, things "slip
through", and what is "inappropriate" is subject to one's own opinion.
So why is my opinion less valid than
yours? Why should you get to choose what I experience in my lifetime?
To me people who are pro censorship are just called "one of them"
because typically:
- they are beyond even considering the opposition's arguments
- someone wanting to cut their Glace in half, and live a half life,
where
you can only experience the good things and not the bad is COWARDLY to
say the least
- and enforcing it on other people is closer to Nazism
With
age: Children have not been around long enough to keep HPHN
easily, an
analogy is
if you picture the mental balance like a pair of
scales like this:

with an adult, each side will be
full of heaps of
keys, so heavy that if
the adult saw something not HPHV, meaning it added an extra key to one
side of the scales only, it would hardly affect the overall balance of
the scales.
But if you picture a child's scales, with hardly any keys on each side,
adding just one more to one side only, may cause the whole thing to tip
over.
e.g. a movie like
Home Alone where the physics are
whack, and everyone is cheerful all the
time even though lives are in high danger, is not HPHN and will give a
child a bias sense of
reality, and an unbalanced mind.
Another e.g. A movie
like
Braindead is not HPHV
because of the excessive violence and
unrealistic character reactions, and could also give a child a bias
sense of
reality, and an unbalanced mind.
Suggestion:
You can either prolong the experience until the child is older and has
more keys (note: that is
not censorship), or you can make sure the child has another experience,
bias in the other direction, e.g. a really happy movie next to a really
depressing movie. So back to the scales analogy, you can imagine a key
going into each side as close to at-the-same-time as possible.
Repressing one of these, will just
increase its desire to escape.
analogy:
Two hoses running water, representing good and bad emotions.
If you block the end of a hose
(repress the emotion) what happens? The pressure increases because the
water has nowhere to run.
And if you completely block the end for
long enough, and the water keeps pumping in, but not out, eventually
the whole damn thing is going to blow up.
I'll let your mind fill in the blanks
in the ways you can "blow up" in real life.
^Sam
(interchangeable with the readers given name)
| Who is
"Sam"? |
Mostly
active with which brainwaves?
|
Usually
prominent in |
| the thinking you |
delta and theta (<8 Hz) |
Anything where you lose your
perception of time, due to your mind being "elsewhere".
- rest
- sleep
- daydreaming
- organising experiences into memories
- meditation
- hypnotic repetitive tasks e.g.
- being in the shower
- driving on a straight freeway/highway
- combing your hair
|
What does "Sam" want?
- to find the "real" you
- to sort out everything Glace gives you, and attain the perfect
balance of perceiving new stuff, while still shaping the universe into
a place that will let you live on
- think of Sam as the one who "shapes" your "soul" into
something capable of making every decision you may face
Causes/Effects
of repressing "Sam"
Repressing Sam can be done by someone
not
sleeping enough, or not getting "a chance to think", or a chance to
"figure things out", often these people have to go to work to often.
This can cause:
- moodiness
- lack of direction
- laziness
- a loathing of life
- no interest in someone else's POV[10]
Releasing Sam is generally easy and not usually harmful at any time in
life. You just need time to reduce brainwave frequency maybe through:
- uninterrupted sleep
- rhythmic meditating activities
- like sex (as long as it's not anything new)
- or listening to music (sometimes)
- or pretty much anything that people call "character building", or
"finding themselves"
like:
- long walks on the beach
- holidays alone
- physical exercise
- etc.
The rule that Sam enforces:
R:OC (rule:
own
choices)
The only thing you can actually own are the choices you make.
Information
cannot be owned.
e.g.
you can't be upset when someone steals your copyright software for
free, because it was just information, and cannot really be owned by
you.
All "manipulable physical bodies"
cannot be owned.
You can use things, but you cannot
actually own anything.
Because ownership means you 100%
control something.
Meaning no one else can control any of
it.
And such things do not exist in real
life.
You
do not even own your physical body.
It can be one's most manipulable
thing in the world, but it still cannot be owned, because your not the
only one who can control what happens to your body.
e.g.
If your parents don't feed you as a child and you starve and die, you
are not in full control of what happens to your body.
Or if your house gets
struck by lightning while you are sleeping and
you get killed, you are not in full control of what happens to
your body.
More minor examples; if
you are a fair football player, but a poor
referee penalises you for something you didn't do, you are not
in full control of what happens to you.
If you know this you will never feel
cheated when something out your control negatively affects your body.
e.g.
You will not cry in self pity if
you or your family get hit by a truck, if you understand they were
never in full control anyway.
You will also never feel genuine
pride in physical appearance, it's only a means of improving your
mating call.
From my experience, body builders tend
to be more intelligent
[11]
than people who do
other types of physical activity (or sports), because they admit they
are not "healthy" and they admit they are just doing it to look good.
Emotions guide you in making these
choices.
Anyone
who makes choices they do not regret, will not suffer.
e.g.
Someone who's censors the
Internet may think they are doing what is "right" and will not feel any
guilt and not suffer for it.
same e.g. except to the extreme: If
Adolf Hitler really thinks the world is better off with all the people
he killed dead, if he really thinks all Jews deserve to die, he will
have piece of mind, and will
not feel any guilt and not suffer for it.
e.g. on the other side: If
you have an abortion and not have a child, then you later come to
regret that decision a lot, you may suffer very much for making that
decision.
"Maybe you don't go to hell for the
things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do.”
[16]
Meaning, NOT acting out on your
emotions, and NOT making the decisions you feel are right, are going to
cause you to suffer for it psychologically (a figurative "hell").
with
the previous e.g. about abortion: It's not what you did (the abortion) that
will put you in a state in psychological hell, it's what you
didn't do (not having a child) that put you in the state.
reinforcement e.g. A murderer doesn't feel bad about killing
someone, but they may feel bad about not letting them live
any more.
In all examples of someone in a figurative "hell", it's because of what
they DON'T do.
mainstream e.g. One
may be in "hell" because they feel guilty about walking down the street
and not saving the girl who was being gang raped in an alley, because
they were too afraid that the men raping her would beat them up.
mainstream e.g. One may be in "hell" because they didn't
ask a girl they really like on a date and now she's married to someone
else.
^LMOE
(short for "Last Man On Earth")
| Who is
"LMOE"? |
Mostly
active with which brainwaves?
|
Usually
prominent in |
| the influencing you |
beta (>12 Hz) |
Anything where you are changing
the world.
- work
- talking to someone
- especially something like giving a speech to many people
- especially teaching someone
- lecturing them about what's "right and wrong"
- giving advice
- expressing yourself
- writing up documents for the Internet
- creating some artwork that will be viewed by others
- attracting a mate, and (sometimes) having sex
|
What
does "LMOE" want?
- to preserve your key-values and put as many of them in the world
as possible
- this includes basic "survival" and the avoidance of self harm,
however it also means affecting others to make their key-values more
like yours, in essence letting part of you "live on"
through them in the values you share
- LMOE wants you to keep a physical body while you need it to
interact with others
- LMOE wants you to pass your key-values onto others
- including passing on your genes to the next generation
- LMOE wants to eliminate anyone who hinders your values from
spreading
- like throwing a criminal in jail for threatening the safety
of your offspring
Causes/Effects
of repressing "LMOE"
Repressing LMOE can be done by someone
not influencing others. Never giving a POV
[10] is one way, or "sitting back in
life and just watching" is another (the author has done this). It can
lead to:
- loneliness
- an abnormal overprotection of one's own body, (due to the fact
that there is not much else for the subject to "live on" through after
the body expires) e.g.
- never taking a "risk"
- agoraphobia
- etc.
LMOE can be released safely at any time
in life, unless of course new information makes you regret your
influence.
e.g. a
catholic preacher realises later on in life that
his
religion does more bad than good, and heavily regrets letting out his
LMOE through his teachings.
Therefore, denying LMOE until you are absolutely sure your influence
will not go against your later key-values, can be good for you. As long
as you don't wait too long and die before you get the chance to make
your influence.
Ways to release LMOE include:
- sexual intercourse
- reproducing
- having someone love you, or romantically
loving someone else (by the definition in the link)
- intimate sexual intercourse
- teaching others
- creating something that will be observed by others
- for example on a
personal note,
this text is the author's
own "bottled up" LMOE release
^AA Hypothesis
Short For Associative Array Hypothesis, it is a means of explaining the
"key-values" that were mentioned in the
LMOE section.
Although this section is relevant to Glace and Sam too, I tried to
omit mentioning key-values in those sections, to avoid confusion of
readers who have not
read this section.
The name is based on an associative array in computer science, which
has
a "key"
and a "value". A creature also it's own "values" allocated by Sam,
for everything Glace has experienced (the "key"). The
combination is then called a "key-value" and the key-values are then
preserved by LMOE.
You can never "change" a key-value.
This might be why the saying "people
don't change" often seems to be true. But while you can
never change a key-value,
you can still
change your
behaviour, it's just more difficult.
You see, you can create new key-values.
But it's not so much creating them, as
it is branching off already existing ones.
These main ones have been around since
you were born, and any new ones that you form are just branched off.
Let's illustrate this point with an
example, a heroin junkie, has a key saying "doing heroin" and that key
has a value saying "is totally awesome".
This will never change. No matter what you do. Rehab, or whatever, you
can never change key-values.
However, this particular junkie, branched off the other key, with one
saying "after effects of heroin" and the value is "totally suck".
Then after another six months, he gets another key, saying "effects of
my drug habit on my family" and the value for that is "totally sucks
more than anything else".
So now, this junkie has quit his drug habit, he has changed his behaviour, but
has not changed his
key-values, he did this by branching out new key-values that
oppose and outweigh the old ones.
The key-value that likes heroin is still there, and will always be
there, no matter what, but the one about his family was stronger.
I'm sure if his whole family died, he would go back to heroin without
hesitation.
"Morality" is the key-values of
the majority.
The
author would like to add personal advice: Do not worry if your
morals differ from that of the majority, your whole life you have been
told to follow the majorities key-values, so it may feel weird
embracing your own for the first time.
Key-rate, is another new
term, for the speed at which someone has the potential to branch new
key-values
It always gets taken into account when
weighing up how much you want to help or harm somebody, because the
higher the key-rate, the less you want to harm them.
e.g.
Who do you want to kill more:
A.
Someone who disagrees with you, because they will
not even consider what you have to say.
Or B.
Someone who disagrees with you, because they have
thought about your argument, but then took into consideration something
else that you didn't think of yet.
Option A. seems a lot more kill-able to the author.
Children have a super high key-rate,
because all the time they are getting new keys from a very active Glace
in the new exciting world.
And this super high key-rate is the
main reason people always want to help the children.
The author believes, (and this is up
for some debate), that women generally have a higher key-rate than men,
due to the capability for extra emotions.
And this is why so many men go by the
"protect the women first" philosophy.
In generations
The next generation will find it easy
to take in all your key-values, and, they pretty much always will add
on more. These extra ones can lead to a difference in behaviour and
philosophy.
e.g.
A kid who is a born and raised Christian, understands all the
key-values of Christianity, but eventually strays away from it because
he found new key-values that the older generation haven't considered,
pointing him in the other direction.
The rule that LMOE enforces:
R:POV
(rule: pass on values)
Pass on your
key-values.
By expressing them.
It is a humorous coincidence that POV
standing for "point of view" expression, is the same acronym as POV
standing for "pass on values", because POV expression is a good way to
follow R:POV.
Chuck Palanuik once said: "The goal
isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." And
if you manage to create something that gets a huge amount of views, it
can be far more effectual than trying to pass on key-values to an
individual.
By reproducing.
This is the quickest and easiest way to
get a creature with about %50 of your key-values already there.
By helping others.
Just by being of the
same species, LMOE can see many key-values are-already/could-have-been
shared, LMOE can see that when someone similar to you dies, part of
your key-values have died too. This is why some people care about other
people.
- e.g.
- close family tend to be very similar in key-values, therefore
it's very sad
when they die
- the death of Adolf Hitler would not be sad to regular people
who find very
little of their key-values in him
- if a child dies, people may be very upset because the
key-values had potential to have all of your key-values and more
So by helping these people out, you can increase the portion of your
key-values in the world.
By harming others.
Harming people who oppose your
key-values is another method of increasing the portion of your
key-values in the world.
- e.g.
- harming drug dealers because recreational drug use is against
your key-values
- putting racists in jail (or harming them in other means) to
avoid spreading racist key-values
- beating up homosexual people because they oppose your key-values
Using
the author as an example:
The author would like to triple the
amount of his key-values in the world.
Achieving 1 of these things will enable
this:
- Create 4 offspring that the author will never
influence once after they are born.
- Create 2 offspring that the author will influence
all the time until they know everything the author
knows.
- Have at least 1000 creatures read this entire text, and have them
on average, take in at least .2% of my key-values each.
- Develop a video game that at least 1 000 000 creatures will play,
and have them on average, take in at least .0002% of my key-values each.
It may not sound like much, but just
getting someone to share .0002% of my key-values is quite difficult.
Now can you see the link to inputs, processes
and outputs? Glace is the inputs (the experiences or the senses), Sam
is the processes (the choices), and LMOE is the outputs (the influence
you have on the world).
There is a very suspicious amount of things that break up into 3's, it
really is "the magic number", enough to drive the author insane (he
probably is technically that way already).
There is a need to mention the primary
colours, blue = Glace, green = Sam, and red = LMOE, because they are
just the colours that spring to mind when the author thinks of each
one, it's just coincidence that these are the primary colour.
You may notice text that the author
hopes you will read with your Glace are in blue, e.g. (examples like this),
organisational things are generally in green, and text from the
author's LMOE are in red.
^With age
As you age, pretty much this happens:
You become less Glace, and more LMOE,
but if you added the presence of all three you would always get a
roughly straight line with age, meaning each one will be active for
about a third of your life.
supporting observations:
- you may notice, the younger a child is, the more they are driven
by glace
- they eat buggers, and sand, and stuff off the ground "just to
see what happens"
- they kill bugs "just to see what happens"
- they bang stuff, hit stuff, make noise "just to see what
happens"
- they are often in a state of "wonder" or "curiosity"[7]
- a baby is pretty much always in this emotional state[7]
- some evidence suggests they have more alpha brainwaves
- you may notice the younger a child is, the less they are driven
by LMOE
- no child is going to lecture someone about what's "right and
wrong"
- or give them advice
- or tell them how to live their life
- you may notice that the elderly are the exact opposite; always
willing to tell you how to live your life.
- e.g. this senile
old fool[8]
^What is all this "bullshit" about brainwaves?
The author is no behavioural neuroscientist,
so the
author cannot claim the links
between brainwaves and types of motivation are 100% proven, however
they do seem to fit nicely together.
e.g.
- babies are
being driven by Glace more than any other age group (according to the
author's observations and this kind of behaviour[7])
- babies have more
alpha brainwaves than any other age group (according to science)
- Glace, Sam and LMOE are always
active, just prominent at
different times (according to the author)
- different brainwaves are
happening all the time from different parts of the brain, just on
occasions some dominate the others (according
to science) (to the
author's understanding)
This was enough for the author to claim
that a link seems very likely, and must be included and emphasised.
^Case Studies
Let's look at some behaviours and explain
them in terms of the hypothesis.
There are three types of motivation
for killing:
- The direct-gain killers;
- e.g.
- the housewives who kill loving husbands to inherit their money
- the contract killers who kill for instant cash
- the prisoner who kills his captor and escapes
- These types of killings are driven by Sam.
- These people have an easy to understand physical gain from the
killing.
- The doing-the-right-thing
killers;
- e.g.
- the prejudice who kills black people or homosexuals or a
minority group because he thinks the world will be better off without
them
- religious killers
- the man who gets revenge on the guys who killed his wife
- the mother who posses super human strength to save her baby
from a mugger
- the guy who euthanizes his dying mother
- These types of killings are driven by LMOE.
- These people do what they think is best for the worlds
key-values. They are changing the world one person at a time.
- The indulgence killers;
- e.g.
- the rapist or ritual killer who does it for the sexual thrill
or the dominance and empowerment.
- the morbidly curious killers, like the bad guy from the TV
show Heroes
- people who exhibit a child-like state of wonder while doing
the actual killing
- These types of killings are driven by Glace.
- These people just want to experience it and nothing more. If
they could bring the person back afterward, they would.
Coitus
You may have noticed, that the cure for a repressed Glace, Sam or LMOE
is coitus. Which goes by my saying that "the hard part isn't finding
the cure to your mental condition,
it's finding out why coitus is the cure to your mental condition."
[sam
quote]
A quick explanation of each one:
- Glace has sex for the same reason you masturbate.
- Sam has sex to "clear his mind".
- LMOE has sex to please the other person, and make babies.
They cover the three main reasons for having sex.
^Oppression
of information leads to revolution
observations:
- any government, which makes it illegal to be in possession of
particular information, is hindering development, enlightenment, and
perspective of the person disallowed the said information
- it's come to my attention that this is the case with the
Australian
and United States governments, (and many more)
- of the 430 noteworthy revolutions in all of history,
there has not been
a single revolution in Australia[1]
e.g:
- it's illegal to have a
sequence of 1s and 0s that makes up a child pornography
image on your computer, you could go to jail for (up to)
4 years for being in possession of that information
- I wonder, is it illegal for someone with a photographic memory
to think about the image?
- If you were to hypothetically use a random
number generator, and it got a result that happens to be able to be
encoded into an image that represents child porn, would that be illegal?
- In 1997 Mike Diana received a conviction in Florida for
drawing cartoons that were judged legally obscene, part of his
punishment was that he was not allowed to draw anything, even just for
himself, for 3 years.
- life is pretty "obscene" too, should we sue God?
- someone better warn the children that drawing is illegal
But let's let all this slide for a
second, because it is just a sacrifice for protection against
paedophiles right? The last "straw" that turned the author
pro-revolution:
- Australia bans R18+ video games from the country entirely
- Is it because are no adults in this country?
explanation:
This fact alone means we do not have
true freedom, our lives are being
filtered. This is a form of information oppression. Censorship in
Australia is getting tighter and tighter, until something is going to
snap.
fix:
When a municipality is in oppression,
well, see the title.
Google is useless for trying to find a country without censorship, but
if the author can find one, the author is likely to move there.

^Crazy people
observations:
most people think pointing out
someone's mental symptoms, is
enough to explain the cause of
someone's behaviour
e.g:
"he did it because he was crazy"
explanation:
"Crazy" is just the category of how to
class his behaviour, but it in no way explains why he actually did the
crazy thing. It is the behaviour that made you call him crazy, not the
motivation behind the behaviour, so it really doesn't explain anything
useful.
fix:
Hopefully pointing this out will make
you look deeper for an actual reason behind the motivation, when
documenting an "amoral" action.
^To be or not to be?
(In
the sense of: should I kill myself)
Normal
people are going to give you a whole bunch flawed answers to anyone
who dares to ask this question. They are flawed because it seems
there is always a balancing 'pro' every time somebody lists a 'con'.
E.g. here is a list of common reasons normal people recommending not to
do it (cons), with
the appropriate rebuttals.
Don't kill yourself.
(cons)
|
Kill yourself. (pros)
|
You can never be happy dead.
|
You can never be sad dead.
|
You won't get to go to 'heaven'.
|
You won't have to put up with all the annoying Christians in heaven.
|
You can never love again.
|
You can never get your heart broken again.
|
It won't solve anything.
|
Nothing will need solving.
|
It will hurt the ones you love.
|
It will hurt the ones you hate.
|
etc.
But here is the one unbalanced factor,
the reason why most humans choose "to be":
If you suicide, you can never take it
back, if you don't suicide, you can always take it back and just kill
yourself later.
^What is
the meaning of life?
(Goal
of article: Expose the question as non-useful.)
Obviously:
to live.
To
expand the definition slightly would be 'to perceive and interact with
the universe'.
Still
I've never understood how someone can think it's actually a well
defined question. Your whole memory of existence, as well as what you
are perceiving right now, is an as-you-go definition of the word
"life".
^Me (section)
The
“Me” section has been temporarily omited, because the views and
opinions expressed in this section, may be considered obscene, illegal
and taboo
in the author's current municipality.
Aww
fuck it, since when did I start respecting those plutocratic dicks and

^Love poem (poem)
I'm going to tell you all a
bit
about an intimate friend of mine, because I just need someone to know
how much she means to me.
You could just die from her,
I swear.
She's not like any person in
the world.
Ever since I was little,
she's been there, part of life, and every day
I get older I spend more and more time thinking about her.
Friends and family don't
seem to like her, but like it or not she'll
always be with me.
She's always been so
mysterious, so unlike anything else in the world,
so fascinating to me.
She's not like any person in
the world.
She's always in my thoughts
and dreams, I think the whole world would
be unbalanced if she was gone.
She's always in touch with
reality, always constant in this changing
modern world.
She is the basis for every
decision I make in my life.
Always with me.
She keeps me motivated,
motivated to stay healthy and look after myself.
It's like she's always been
there since life on this earth.
And she has a way of
snapping you back to reality.
Long lost friends separated
at birth.
Many things I see in
everyday life remind me of her, ways she can get
to me.
She's not any person in the
world.
I guess I'm not special to
her, she treats everyone else the same way
as me.
She's not like a person.
And she always snaps you
back to reality.
She motivates all the
creatures on this earth.
She motivates you too.
I'm sure she's somewhere in
your thoughts right now.
Especially if your old.
Or sick.
She is the reason you want
to be healthy.
To avoid her.
You could just die from her.
Literally.
Because she is Death.
Read it again and maybe it
will make more sense.
^"Beefs" and
ideas
^Theory as to
why God would write the bible
Psychological
profiling is often a valuable tool for detectives to catch serial
killers.
However
serial killers may know this, and may send in a letter to the
detectives, with detailed information to prove they are the serial
killer, and with a lot of other random bullshit about why he
are doing this, to cause confusion, conflicting arguments, and
squabbling amongst the detectives. This throws the detectives off the
serial killers tail, and causes the detectives trying to catch the
serial killer do some funny/interesting counter productive things.
Replace
the words
serial killers
with
God,
detectives with
people, and
letter
with
bible, and read the
paragraph again.
If he did write the bible, that would be why.
^Australians vs Americans
Many Australians have a problem
with Americans because most
of them:
|
But:
|
make everyone outside the US
unnecessarily ostracised.
E.g. In almost any text written in America, you could literally replace
the term "America", with the term "Western World", to make the
subject applicable to about 4 times more of the human population.[15] |
no argument. |
don't even know where Australia
is, they don't know about anything geographically outside the US.
|
that's because they don't need
to, I can't name anything "offhand" that Australia does for the USA.
Australians are
the ones who copy them, so they don't even need to acknowledge that
Australia
exists. It's not like they watch all of Australia's crappy TV drama
shows like "Neighbours", yet Australia watch all of the crappy US drama
shows.
|
have annoying accents.
|
so do a lot of Australians, I
would guess that there is a higher percentage of Americans than
Australians that have an annoying accent though, so no argument. |
say racist things.
|
that is because they have this
obscure thing called "free speech", which is not actually in the
Australian constitution. I would rather be a racist with free speech
then be a polite government controlled bot.
|
don't listen to the UN, they
play by their own rules.
|
what are you going to do about
it?
Go to war with America? Australians need them on good terms because on
how much
power they have, and how much they actually do for the world research
and development wise.
|
shoot each other all the time.
|
if you hate Americans,
than why is that a bad thing?
|
have their own variation of
English called "American
English".
|
- 2/3 of the English speaking population live in the USA[12], so I suppose
that
makes those of us speaking other forms of English the abnormal ones.
- The drop of the 'u' in words like colour, is more
efficient, and actually makes sense.
- Australia doesn't even use British English, we use "Australian
English", another queer variation. Making Australian English even
worse than American English, because it's only used by such a minuscule
portion of the English speaking people, and it takes words from the
American English anyway, e.g. saying
"Sedan" instead of the British "Saloon".
|
| always have to "re-create"
everything to American.[14] |
no argument, very annoying when
you can only get your hands on the "US version" of something created
elsewhere.
|
instead making their primary
system of measurement "International System of Units", like the rest of
the nations except for Myanmar, Liberia and the United States[13], they
use "United States Customary Units", just to be annoying. |
no argument, very annoying
having to convert it.
|
are fat.
|
no argument. |
pollute a lot.
|
no argument. |
In conclusion, the only valid arguments are they:
- make everyone outside the US unnecessarily ostracised
- have an obscure system of measurement
- re-creating everything to American
- having annoying accents more often than Australians
- pollute a lot
But pretty much anything great on a
global scale, was founded and developed in the USA, so personally the
author has no "beef" with them.
^The "goodies" are
actually the "baddies"
A while ago I came across a
massive life plot twist, in an act of rebellion against Christianity I
started reading about Satanism, and I realised which religion is better
for society, which religion actually makes sense.
It turns out the the "goodies" are actually the "baddies".
Now I'm a proud
Satanist, you can read about their beliefs on their site if you're
interested.

^T-shirt ideas
One of the following texts could be printed on a shirt, because I find
them humorous:
- If you have to ask what it means, then you'll never know.
- I don't get angry, I get mod 2 == 0
- Do not kick me. Or WP:BEANS will become policy.
^Linguistical
^The "i" word
Irregardless is a word stupid
people use when trying to act intelligent. It's a prime example of the
primary function of language; to determine if someone is an ample mate.
It's a blend of
irrespective
or
irregarding
with
regardless, and a false
word.
"Irregardless? That's not even a real word. You're affixing the
negative prefix 'ir-' to 'regardless', but, as 'regardless' is already
negative, it's a logical absurdity!" --(TV show)
American Dad
That pretty much sums it up.
If there was a button on the wall that said "KILL ANYONE WHO USES THE
WORD..." ok, no I'm not going to take it that far, but PLEASE could you
just say
regardless instead
of
irregardless if you don't
do so already.
^The most flawed cliches and "sayings" of
all time
A "saying" or cliche, is suppose to make sense both figuratively
literally, so if it doesn't make sense literally, then it is flawed.
1. Nothing is impossible.
If you believe nothing is impossible, then you also must believe "it is
impossible for something to be impossible" thus, something is
impossible, so you can't say nothing is impossible.
FIX: "Anything is possible."
2. Never say never.
You just did.
FIX: "It's often unwise to say something cannot be done."
3. Never judge a book by its cover.
Why wouldn't you? The cover is made, specifically so you can judge the
book by it. It has a relevant title, the author's name, and some info
about the content of the book. If you see a half naked porn star on the
cover of a magazine, then are you going to say, "oh, I don't judge a
book by its cover, I'm still going to buy this magazine for my 5-yo
daughter"?
FIX: "Never judge a book by the quality of its cover."
4. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
"I'm a girl and I would like my boyfriend to buy me a pink car. Oh, I
should treat him the way you would like to be treated, so I will buy
him a pink car." According to the saying that would be a favourable
course of action.
FIX: Respect the wises of others to the same extent that you would like
your wishes to be respected.
//Don't worry, I'll find more.
^Character
Here's the response to anyone
interested about my taste in music:
- I'd
rather listen to the inspiration than the product. [sam
quote]
- Meaning often I prefer to listen to what's inspired the music,
the people around me,
than to music in my earphones.
- In accordance to R:HPHN I don't
limit
myself to favouring a genre.
- Most of the time, human voices ruin a song for me, but maybe
that's just the P' talking.
I might as well just tell you this,
since this is just a glorified super secret dark diary after all, but I
recently I came
across the
Wikipedia
article on psychopathy.
I denied it at first, all P's deny it at first.
But every single thing on that page was true to describe me, even the
obscure stuff in the
talk page
that wasn't verifiable enough to put in the article.
I like to call it being a P', because I don't want all the people
in my life to know this about me.
So now everything I say is going to be even less credible to the
general population, it can just be dismissed as the "delusional
rantings of a psycho".
But who cares about them anyway.

^How to keep
inconspicuous
- lie often
- How?
- lie about your motives, and let people think they know
everything about you and you are more of a simpleton than they are
- When you have a
conversation with someone, and they ask you for your opinion, instead
ask yourself "I wonder what would happen if I said 'X' instead", so you
end up
saying 'X' to keep the conversation lively, rather than saying what you
truly think, and spending the next umpteen hours defending your views,
and/or causing them to label you as some kind of monster.
- you can disregard this rule if you truly think the listener
may somehow agree with your true opinion, but it's better not to take
the risk most of the time, (the author is taking that risk right now)
- Why?
- it's a good skill to have practised
- Sam strategy applies, i.e. become renowned for lying without
reason, so no one will know when you are lying to actually deceive
- smoke
- How?
- when standing around looking suspicious, smoke, so it just
looks like smoking is your reason for standing around
- hide the habit from family, and some friends
- Why?
- helps you appear to be a simpleton
- if caught "hiding something" you can pretend the smoking
habit was "the big thing you were hiding"
- obviously only do it when you have to, to avoid lung damage
- don't be ugly
- don't be too physically appealing
- be extremely nice to people who can't spend too much time with you
- the friendly guy next door
- the friendly uncle
- the friendly colleague
- the friendly employee
- the friendly customer
- keep on the borderline of friendship circles; be the guy who
"maybe we could invite"
- friend of a friend stuff is perfect
- keep your contacts high but intimacy low
- be an ignorant "asshole" to anyone/any-group who starts getting
too close for you, just play dumb
- always focus on people's problems and "what you can do for them"
- people will eventually stop even trying to "get you to talk
about you", if you do a good job of helping them
- be a "relatable face of average nothingness" (people often tell
P's we have a "trusting face")
- clear blue eyes and grizzled brown hair is your "camouflage of
suburbia"[sam quote]
- picture your "reading voice" that you are using right now to read
the text to you, and become that voice
^Strive for
unhappiness theory
(Note: I was going to turn this into a book
entitled The Guide to Unhappiness,
but I thinks it's better just being free to all.)
Why
would anyone strive for unhappiness?
Because
whatever you try to do, nature will do the opposite.
If
you go up gravity pulls you down, if you go down the earth pushes you
up, we learn at an early age that in order to walk forward, you have
to push your feet backward.
And
at a later age, we might learn that in order to have a happy and
fulfilling life your going to have to strive the other way, and hit
bottom.
People
of the older generations will probably find this idea stupid. For most
of them, death and suffering were "right around the corner" while
they were growing up. Very real, and enough to define their character
and charisma, to give them something to rise up from and be proud of
overcoming.
Now it's just a Hollywood movie.
The human race has a new obstacle
never faced by any other
animal.
In Australia we have suicide making up almost 30% of
20-to-35 year old male deaths
[3].
Regular
20-to-35 year olds of this
generation, hereby refered to as "Jacks", the generation without
hardship or a
'great depression'. Jack's hardship is to feel alive, his great
depression is the cavalcade of comfortable mediocrity which is his
boring life.
[4]
- The
rules of our society were made for people who just wanted peace after
hardships like World War 2. Jack's never been to war. These rules
make Jack a dull boy.
- Christianity was made by people who want to
change their life. But if Jack follows the Christian bible from
birth, what is there for him to change? Christianity makes Jack
a duller boy.
- Then there's the "giant warm fuzzy blanket of
censorship, shielding the vast skies, the stars, the clarity of cold
moonlight from ever meeting Jack's senses." Leaving Jack
the dullest boy.
So I say, fuck the
good life, you can
take it and keep it, IN ORDER TO
JUMP UP YOU GOTTA PUSH STRAIGHT FUCKING DOWN.
[sam quote]
Why are you doing this?
The
reason I'm writing this is to try and change the things people impose
upon their lives and upon other people's lives, because I don't know
if anybody in charge here has been paying attention, but just
glancing at the next generation I can see some pretty FUCKED UP kids,
they see that most of what is taught to them is no longer relatable,
so they assume everything taught to them is useless, and anyone
who can't relate to society is in a vulnerable position.
Any
so-called guide to living a happy life will never
work.
e.g.
Just look at how much
misery the Christian bible has bestowed upon the earth.
This is
because you need to know what doesn’t work to fully understand what
does, and if you suppress bad things the pressure to escape just
increases (see
R:HPHN).
^Examples
of "backfired" strives for happiness
Strive
1:
Keep safe above all else, keep censored, and shielded, ignoring the
dark side of humanity.
Get in a bomb shelter with your wife
and children, and lock yourself
away from the darkness in life.
Why it's shit:
40% of murders in Australia are commited by family or an intimate
partner,
[5] so you better
get your own
bomb shelter away from your
family. But even then, I'll tell you another little secret, in 2007 in
Australia you were 8 times more likely to be killed by yourself than
anyone else
[6], and rising.
By shielding yourself from the bad things in life you are turning the
roller coaster of life into a boring straight-in-a-line-coaster,
increasing the chance of killing a loved one and/or yourself, because
it now takes so little to trigger the darkness you've been ignoring for
so long.
Strive 2:
Blindly obey those who threaten you.
- Make sure your tie is straight, and your suit is pressed, or you
wont
make any money.
- Buy Pepsi Max or else nobody will be your friend.
- Get braces or your teeth might look a little different to most
people's.
- Make sure you don't look cheap, and remember, your diner set
defines you
as a person.
- Apply 6 different kinds of make up every morning or nobody will
have
sex with you and you will die alone.
Why it's shit:
It's like negotiating with terrorists. Once you start negotiating with
them they will just keep demanding, and demanding, and demanding, and
demanding, and demanding, until they have manipulated you so much they
control what you hear, see, feel, and even think.
I could go on and give examples of how corporations and the government
choose everything we do, but we've all heard this before, and as much
as I complain, I'm still a component of the system, Jack knows all
this,
but until now, it hasn't bothered Jack enough to spark a revolution.
Strive
3:
Have faith.
Let somebody with less experience
dictate your life.
- Let somebody who isn’t you, (thereby having less experience with
your life
than you) to tell you how to live, and follow their word blindly
because of your 'faith'.
- If you see a celebrity that has a few qualities you like, assume
that
he is perfect in every way, and do everything he does until you become
a slightly less original clone of him.
Why
it's shit:
- Faith is believing in something which has less evidence of
happening,
because if you’re wrong you’ve wasted your time and energy.
- e.g.
Christians have faith that they will get into heaven for attending
church all the time and never having fun, because if heaven doesn't
exist, THEY HAVE JUST WASTED THEIR WHOLE LIVES!
- Similar to the
definition of “insanity”, which is a likely corollary mind state of
those who use faith as a supporting argument for trusting something.
- Note: my
definition of faith does NOT include believing something will
happen because of a reason you cannot put into words, that reason is
still a piece of evidence.
- I think Jeff Lindsay's character; Dexter, sums it up better
than I ever
could with this quote:
“Yes, I have a great deal of faith, Reverend-in human greed and
stupidity, and in the sweetness of sharp steel on a moonlit night. I
have faith in the dark unseen, the cold chuckle from the shadows
inside, the absolute clarity of the knife. Oh, yes, I have faith,
Reverend, and beyond faith-I have certainty, because I have seen the
bleak bottom line and I know it is real; it's where I live.” -- Dexter
in the Dark
Strive
4:
Believe that the right and wrong things to do are NOT relative to an
observer.
Believe that what you and/or the
majority think are right and wrong
must the only correct moral code.
Why it's shit:
Questioning the majority is how we evolve. See
MSH.
Strive
5:
Don't listen to yourself.
If
Glace tells
you to eat chocolate, don't do it because some hominid
thinks it's bad for you.
If Glace tells you to watch TV instead of homework, ignore him because
he
is bad.
If Glace tells you to go hunting instead of going to law school, he
must be stupid because the TV tells me that I need to be rich and buy
things to be happy.
Why it's shit:
Once you've ignored Glace to the point where he thinks he must not
exist, BAM, he pulls a karoshi.
Strive
6:
Think about NOT thinking about something you don’t want to think
about.
Then tell yourself aloud that you are
NOT thinking about that thing,
thinking it will drone out the fact that you are actually thinking
about it.
Then trick yourself into believing that thinking about NOT thinking
something actually counts as NOT thinking it.
Why it's shit:
When you ignore an important thought it only comes back stronger.
Strive
7:
Fail to realise that perfection is an asymptote.
And truly believe that some people are
perfect and can give you total happiness.
Why it's shit:
When it appears to
be what it approaches, you just have to look a little closer to see
it's
never perfect.
I believe this is the main cause of
divorce, people think their spouse
is perfect in every way, but then when the asymptote hits them BAM,
they can't take the fact that they were not perfect.
If you just except it as an asymptote
from the beginning, this will not happen.
Strive
8:
Believe that you're not just another animal on the earth.
That
you're a beautiful and unique snowflake hand picked by God because he
loves you so hugy-wugy much.
You can't be just a hominid with
opposable thumbs, oh no, you're so much more civilised than that with
your wars, rape, slavery and disregard for the rest of the animals.
Why it's shit:
It brainwashes regular people into ones who can do terrible things
without feeling guilty for it.
Strive
9:
Believe somebody's effort is worth more than yours.
Spend hours lining up just to meet some
celebrity for 5 seconds.
Spend countless hours packed in a gym so you can be more attractive to
people.
Drive across town to buy some exotic roses for your girlfriend so she
can know you're the bitch of the relationship.
Why it's shit:
This is sure way to piss off
Glace.
^Little pieces of
knowledge
- Neatness
- Hanging more than one shirt on single hanger does make creases
in the shirt. (I've tried)
- Social
- Friends
- If you are a male attending school, the most efficient way to
make friends is to concentrate your efforts on making female friends,
because if you have lots of female friends, males will instantly act
more friendly towards you than people they have known for years.
- Family

You can reproduce whatever text you want from this site, with NO
acknowledgement of the source, because I believe in R:OC
(info can't be owned) and R:POV (the more people
who read it the better).
But it may be beneficial to point others towards me so they can learn
more, if you mention something on this text.
If you reproduce the layout (the headings the anchors etc.), you do
NOT have to give any acknowledgement either.
But I am kind of short on money right now, so if you make a whole bunch
of money off something I've said I WILL FIND YOU.
