Re: New World Order (4.00 / 3)

Accepting that the world is really run by a small cabal of elites whose names we don't even know can actually be quite liberating.

That's quite understandable. Accepting any set of beliefs that hands off responsibility to distant powers always brings a false sense of liberation. Life is in truth so damn complicated and we will always spend it in uncertainty about where we are heading, what we are doing, whether we are right or wrong, how we can understand others and how we can love, that abdicating the wondering and wandering for a dogma can be quite a relief. That's why doctrines, sects, cults and religions do so well.

Look after yourself, LHM.

Re: New World Order (4.00 / 2)

It is getting strange here. What passes for TV is mind numbing and it appears to work quite well turning suburbanites into little Nazi like trolls. Unemployment runs out in June and no clue after that. Zero jobs.

Create something yourself. Find something you like and figure the niche that isn't well serviced in that area. Exchange all that TV time with learning and doing time.

"They" are not that smart.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Re: The ideal (4.00 / 2)

Hmmm. That wouldn't put food on your table in June, but as far as creating an effect, it may let you starve in a blaze of glory.

Perhaps there is some middle ground.

Create something of value during the day, while during the night destroying something which has no redeeming value beyond providing an edifice against their fear and crippled values.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

New World Order (none / 0)

happens to be my current passion. Tough to find a market for RFID zapping devices or camera blinding LED lights though. You are right about not that smart, as I figured it out.

Re: New World Order (4.00 / 2)

Life is in truth so damn complicated and we will always spend it in uncertainty about where we are heading, what we are doing...

What if some are not uncertain at all, and know pretty well what is happening and what is supposed to come next? some knowledge is not for all. Increased confusion can be a very useful trick.

Look after yourself, right... Isn't this what we were emphatically told to do the last decades?

Re: New World Order (none / 1)

Life is confused and confusing, whether you like it or not. It's much more of a trick to play on people to offer hermetic organisational principles that Explain Everything.

"Look after yourself" was said in the sense "Take care", not "Look out for your own interests".

Do you mean, it's more difficult? I would disagree.

Confusion is not a problem if you do not make any conclusions or guesses at all. Asking "theoretical" questions can help to take care of yourself in two ways: you still see some picture, and you are better prepared if a theory turns out approximately right. That may also give you some idea when to act and how.

Path to home energy audit training, a visual aid*:

greenjobs.org / space planner /

AICP Certification

Program requirements include courses offered by the industry known educational institutions of the Life Office Management Association (LOMA), America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters (AICPCU), the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society (IRES), and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). In addition, AICP maintains its own Ratemaking course and test for those in the property/casualty concentration....
AICP and AHIP have worked out a Preferred Learning Partnership Agreement where AICP members receive a 20 percent discount for one or more of the health insurance courses made available by AHIP. To receive this discount, you need to note on your AHIP course enrollment form the designated codes. These codes can be obtained by clicking on AHIP Discount link below.

*Key phrase home energy auditor returned 0 results in either city or state. The paths to HERS and BPI certifications in Maryland are much, much shorter due primarily to limited seat availability (<200 public- and private-curricula, combined) and to personal equipment purchases required prior to examination (~USD 8,000).

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
