Behind The Oil Myth - A Personal Epiphany

Behind The Oil Myth – A Personal Epiphany

OK, this is not a book post – nor is it any kind of a review, it’s one of the rare ‘other’ posts I warned you I would be making.

I recently got a reminder on Facebook  of a post I made a year ago. It described the sudden realisation I had come to during a conversation with one of my kids some time previously. In light of the news we’ve had about the pervasive, invasive effects of plastics in…

In Praise of the Real:  Reforming the Humanities

Frederick Turner, 2009 (source; emphasis added)

Ironically, then, the sciences and the humanities have changed places. The humanities now profess a scientifically obsolete view of events, a power-based account of the world which is as incompatible with the values of human culture as Kant rightly declared the Newtonian universe to be. [...] Meanwhile the sciences, with their rigorous research methods, and beginning with presuppositions just as linear and deterministic as they were accused by the humanities of being, have disclosed to us a universe full of freedom and creativity, fertile ground for art and moral action.

Reality is legally defined as what is scientifically verifiable; hence we teach evolution in high-school biology, not scientific creationism.   The humanities, however, are now teaching that reality is entirely relative to the culture and gender of the knower; our humanist professors are thus as far removed from fact as the most “biblical literalist” sect.  That loss of contact with reality is also a loss of contact with the public–a failure to perform the mandate, bought and paid for fair and square by the people of our states and nation, of educating and civilizing the young, and acting as the repository and conduit of the cultural heritage.

I propose that we refound the humanities on the sciences.  There are various routes by which we might recover the connection.  The first is the anthropological path, retracing the roots of human arts and other activities through the oral tradition, folklore, cross-cultural anthropology, performance theory, ethnodrama, the study of human and animal ritual, archeology and human evolution.  The second is the neuroscience route, the study of the neurobiological foundations of esthetic experience, language, meaning, perception, experience, etc.   The third is the chaos theory route: using the powerful new sciences of complexity and nonlinear dynamics, we might develop a general vocabulary of creative emergence.  The fourth is the information theory and cybernetic route: learning from the extraordinary difficulties and successes of computer science in modeling the human mind, we might develop a deeper theory of literary meaning.  This approach might include game theory, and the information theory of Claude Shannon and John von Neumann.  The fifth is the ecoscience route: the study of the humanities as a complex ecological system, recently emergent upon the planet, in the context of other living organisms, especially domesticated plants and animals.

If we seek for scientific foundations, there are those who would raise theoretical and political objections to foundations and foundationalism. [...] One maintains that since everything we can know depends on how we see it, there is no fundamental reality (phenomenology).  A second reminds us of Wittgenstein’s dicta: “whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent” [...] and maintains therefore that since everything we say depends on how we say it, there is no fundamental reality (linguistic philosophy, deconstruction).  A third points out that because everything is dependent on its context within a structure, there is no fundamental reality (structuralism).  A fourth sardonically points out that whenever anyone says anything, they are naturally following their socioeconomic interests [...] (Foucauldian discourse analysis, neomarxism).  A fifth reminds us that everything that is said is said in a determining historical context [...] (the new historicism).  A sixth insists that the psyche that says anything is an illusory construction anyway [...] (the neofreudianisms of Lacan, Deleuze, and Guattari).  A seventh denies the objectivity of science, because science is made up of a society of persons with ideological and economic interests [...] (the scientific antifoundationalism of Kuhn, Feyerabend, and Habermas).  An eighth points out that whoever says anything has a sex and a gender, usually male, that irremediably distorts what is said [...] (feminist epistemology).  And so on; and we can now add a ninth, that maintains that all human views of reality are only human views, and that since we cannot know how Nature sees things, there is no fundamental reality: the view of the radical Greens and Deep Ecologists, such as Arne Naess and George Sessions.

Of course the secret of all these antifoundationalisms is that they are really foundationalisms in disguise. [...] stated in their positive form these positions do not particularly contradict each other [...] And this conclusion might lead us, by an odd but perfectly legitimate turn of logic, to the positive assertion that all these implied foundations are indeed foundational–sensation, language, structure, power, history, psychology, legitimation, sex, and nature, and that probably there are dozens of other foundations as well.  Foundations, then, need not be mutually exclusive; and the interesting thing might be to work out how all these foundations are related to each other.  A universe crammed with partial foundations, that have not ceased to interact, and that thus leave open a huge future space where they are unpredictably going next–this is what we see if we escape the feverish loyalties of a particular ideological camp.

Consider a view of the world which is anchored, relatively fixed, and unitary at one end, and open-ended, changeable and multiple at the other–a tree structure.  This would give us the benefit of a common deep language and a protean and creative surface language.  This is what I propose–a past that is relatively fixed and knowable, though never absolutely, and a future that can grow in whatever direction we and all other desiring and imagining beings may desire or imagine.

If observers vote on the constitution of the world, I would simply extend–or rather, recognize–the franchise and observerhood of everything else in the universe, from animals and plants to atoms and elementary particles.  Thus for beings like ourselves who like to see things as texts, the universe is to some extent a text, but there are many entities that do not experience the world in those terms, and if we ignore them, we will come to grief.  Feyerabend thought that humans constructed atoms; I would reply, yes, and atoms construct us also.   Indeed, there are cases, as when Feyerabend’s own world-constructing activity entered into contest with that of his and the world’s molecules, when human observers lose the vote and must, tragically, die.  Reality is consensual, yes; but the consensus rather massively includes all the energy and matter in all the stars and galaxies. [...] Radical ethnic and feminist critiques of science remain valid but with a hugely reduced relevance, since the critics are always free to go canvass the nonhuman part of the real universe for themselves, and submit themselves to its arbitrement in the form of successful prediction; such postmodern critiques then become legitimate nitpicking. The new neuroscience shows us how subtly the human and animal brain compensates for any distortions in its perception, how the eye for instance corrects for perspectival errors; and evolutionary science shows how such a bias toward “objective” truth is dictated by species survival.

Hi friends! Here's my delayed post for the 5th day of the #abmidyearstashchallenge by my dear 누나 @peepingpomeranian! • Toners: - #Innisfree White Tone Up Skin - I bought this before I bought The Ordinary's Niacinamide so I don't really need this toner but it's nice. It slightly hydrates and helps brighten because of the niacinamide in it. Won't repurchase. - #Whamisa Organic Flowers Deep Rich Toner - this really is rich lol. I don't like how this smells but I love this for layering hydration. Not a great 7 skin option but great to add on a daytime routine. Probably won't repurchase. - #HadaLabo Hydrating Lotion - love this! Great for the 7 skin method. Hydrates well, plumps and softens the skin too! Not sure if I'll repurchase. - Hada Labo Premium Lotion - haven't used this yet but I'm so excited to! - #DrJart Ceramidin Liquid - love this! Thanks to my bae @fairuzmusarrat for this amazing prezzieeee! This softens the skin and hydrates it so well! Might repurchase!

“Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind”

Theodore Roosevelt

“Malthus has been vindicated; reality is finally catching up with Malthus. The Third World is overpopulated, it’s an economic mess, and there’s no way they could get out of it with this fast-growing population. Our philosophy is: back to

the village.”

Dr. Arne Schiotz, World Wildlife Fund Director of Conservation, stated such,

ironically, in 1984:

“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”

Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine

“There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels.

Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get

the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population

is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian

government, even fascism, to reduce it....” “Our program in El Salvador didn’t

work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too

goddamned many people.... To really reduce population, quickly, you

have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill

significant numbers of fertile age females....” The quickest way

to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa, or

through disease like the Black Death....

Thomas Ferguson, State Department Office of Population Affairs

“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that

pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like

would fit the bill.... But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of

mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human

intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can

be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”

Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider – Founder and Secretary, respectively,

TheClub of Rome, The First Global Revolution, pgs 104-105, 1991

A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an

uncontrolled multiplication of people.... We must shift our efforts from the

treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will

demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions.

Stanford Professor ” Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb

“In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per

day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it.”

J. Cousteau, 1991 explorer and UNESCO courier

I believe that human overpopulation is the fundamental problem on Earth Today”

and, “We humans have become a disease, the Humanpox.”

Dave Foreman, Sierra Club and co founder of Earth First!

“We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion,

about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is

the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people

left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”

Mikhail Gorbachev

“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore

order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that

there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that

threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to

deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When

presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the

guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.

Dr. Henry Kissinger New York Times, Oct. 28, 1973

Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third

world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of

minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries”.

Dr. Henry Kissinger

“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac,” and “The elderly are useless eaters”

Dr. Henry Kissinger

“World population needs to be decreased by 50%”

Dr. Henry Kissinger

“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major

crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”

David Rockefeller

“War and famine would not do. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and

fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be

solved. AIDS is not an efficient killer because it is too slow. My favorite candidate

for eliminating 90 percent of the world’s population is airborne Ebola (Ebola

Reston), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years.

“We’ve got airborne diseases with 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing

humans. Think about that. “You know, the bird flu’s good, too. For everyone who

survives, he will have to bury nine”

Dr. Eric Pianka University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert,

showed solutions for reducing the world’s population to an audience on

population control

“The present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world carrying capacity,

cannot be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to contraception,

sterilization and abortion, but must be met in the present by the reduction of

numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary.”

Initiative for the United Nations ECO-92 EARTH CHARTER

“In South America, the government of Peru goes door to door pressuring women

to be sterilized and they are funded by American tax dollars to do this.”

Mark Earley in The Wrong Kind of Party Christian Post 10/27 2008

"Women in the Netherlands who are deemed by the state to be unfit mothers

should be sentenced to take contraception for a prescribed period of two years.”

Marjo Van Dijken (author of the bill in the Netherlands) in the Guardian

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/nov/04/humanrights-women

“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature”

Anonymously commissioned Georgia Guidestones

“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to

lower human population levels.”

Prince Phillip, Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Duke of Edinburgh, leader of the

World Wildlife Fund

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents

hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use

contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for

childbearing.”

David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

“The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover

cutting the Fallopian tubes.”

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Frankly I had thought that at the time Rome was decided, there was concern

about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t

want to have too many of.”

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the

optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various

countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might

remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some

power to enforce the agreed limits.”

Obama’s Science czar John P. Holdren: From a book he helped write ‘Ecoscience’

“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world

government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent,

all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there

is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly

evil in intent.”

Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that

was shot down by the Soviet Union

P.S. And there's this:

“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to

worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian

Initiation.”

David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

(People will shortly be expected to line up to take the COVID vaccination, with its

Luciferase enzyme)

Last weekend, @puglifegaga had an all-day doggie date along the coast, and just seeing her run on the beach and play in the waves made me so happy because there was a point when she couldn't even walk for months. About 4 years ago, I found out that she had a slipped disc and needed a $7k surgery. I was laid off, and pet insurance wouldn't handle all of the bill. . Serendipitously, people all around me started mentioning holistic pet care, and as someone who believes in this method of healing for humans, I thought it was worth a shot for my dog. Through the power of anti-inflammatory foods, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicines, massage, and CBD oil, Gaga was back to normal in 3 weeks with NO surgery....and my wallet was very happy. . At that time, there were no CBD and hemp products for pets readily available, so I had to use CBD oil from a cannabis dispensary and secretly give it to my dog. Now, I'm happy that CBD and hemp products for pets are now everywhere, and I've been using Eco Pets Full Spectrum Hemp Oil from @ecosciences. I use this to help calm down her anxious nerves, and to help with inflammation. I'm sure she doesn't mind the bacon flavor too. Eco Sciences is fully legal and compliant in all states, which just blows my mind to see how far herbal supplements are going for not only humans, but for our four-legged friends as well. .

name: Sargus Forbes

age: Thirty - Seven

pronouns: He/Him

hometown:Tallsinn, Estonia

occupation: CEO of ecosciences. 

relationship status: single & widowed. 

SO WILL YOU...

Q: does your character have a criminal or questionable past?

A: sargus has all the money one could ask for, however, does that make one happy? does it truly give you all the resources one could use? it would seem not for the case of Sargus. Losing his first wife by a tragic accident, or some have suggested it wasn’t an accident at all. This simply is far - too - complex after all!

Q: does your character have a motive to kill?

A: anyone at the palace? surely, not. however, he is willing to kill if it means defending himself, penelope and lilith who came with him. 

Q: any important factors to know about your character?

A: Sargus owns one of the largest science and eco friendly organizations that helps technology travel to third world countries to better help their resources. he is passionate about the world. more importantly, he knew the twins personally in his youth and found their deaths difficult to accept.
